So Green Hill Zone tonight

Aw man. You're probably right...

 

[Greenzxy]

Speaking of Green Hill Zone. I remember that staged used to be Iconic. Is it still Iconic?

 

[ffdgh]

Hmm...Well it is the first stage of sonic one with a rather catchy tune soo yeah lol.

 

[Spinluck]

It was garbage in Brawl.

Such a weak layout, Windy Hill looks better so far.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Speaking of Green Hill Zone. I remember that staged used to be Iconic. Is it still Iconic?

Uh, yeah.

Even if a game doesn't have Green Hill Zone in it, the first level is usually inspired by it...well, excluding the Adventure games.

Plus we just had an anniversary Sonic game that brought it back.

 

[SmithnCo]

Yeah.

The stage itself kinda sucks though.

 

[Durden77]

On a side note, I watched that linked IGN videopeople were saying demonstrated the lack of landing lag in the Wii U version and the thing that stood out most to me (to the point of forgetting my original intent for watching) is Pit's new reach. Jesus that character got buffed to high heaven with the extension on his blade.

It also looks like footstools are pretty damn serious spikes now. Don't remember them being that effective in Brawl.

 

[Vashzaron]

Is it of any interest that Nintendo.com lists the 3DS game as 4 players, but Wii U TBD?

 

[Greenzxy]

Uh, yeah.

lol okay, I haven't noticed. I haven't played a Sonic game in awhile.

 

[totes magotes]

I actually liked Green Hill Zone but I dont have a 3ds so I dont really care about those stages. Hopefully if a stage we know about is shown it will be the Pokemon League or Pac Land.

 

[Durden77]

Is it of any interest that Nintendo.com lists the 3DS game as 4 players, but Wii U TBD?

Was about to post this. Wonder if it means anything at all.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

5-player boss mode confirmed.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Falco AND Wario tonight.

 

[totes magotes]

Boss mode so Nintendo can say Ridley is playable.

 

[User 73706]

Ridley busting out of Snake's cardboard box tonight.

 

[SmithnCo]

Boss mode so Nintendo can say Ridley is playable.

I wonder if that will make the eventual shitstorm better or worse

 

[IntelliHeath]

5-player boss mode confirmed.

or 5th player mode where they can play as playable bosses.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Ridley busting out of Snake's cardboard box tonight.

They really shrunk him down huh.

 

[QKT100]

Is it of any interest that Nintendo.com lists the 3DS game as 4 players, but Wii U TBD?

I would love some form of 8 player mode.

 

[Golnei]

They really shrunk him down huh.

 

[Durden77]

Ridley busting out of Snake's cardboard box tonight.

Conflicting feelings...

 

[IntelliHeath]

I would love some form of 8 player mode.

8 players battles would be very overwhelming

 

[totes magotes]

Ridley busting out of Snake's cardboard box tonight.

With a quote saying "Heres Ridley, the boss of Pyrosphere, who is busting out of cardboard boxes left behind by Snake from Brawl."

 

[Vashzaron]

I would love some form of 8 player mode.

As would I... 'cause that would be fun in pure chaos form. (Everyone go Ice Climbers! Or Chorus Kids!)

Though I'm more inclined to think right now it's a potential "5th dude does something on gamepad" thing.

 

[Myn]

Boss mode sounds pretty cool actually. Are there any Wii-U exclusive modes showcased yet?

 

[QKT100]

8 players battles would be very overwhelming

Just a simple 'for fun' mode, call it clusterfuck mode or something.

 

[Fandangox]

Didn't the development team said there would be no Wii U modes making use of the gamepad?

 

[Berordn]

I wonder if that will make the eventual shitstorm better or worse

Why's it gotta be mutually exclusive?

 

[totes magotes]

Why's it gotta be mutually exclusive?

Is it wrong that I dont want Ridley just so theres a shitstorm?

 

[Durden77]

Didn't the development team said there would be no Wii U modes making use of the gamepad?

I think Sakurai said something like "Right now that is not a concern and I am focused purely on the game. If I decide to put my mind to it later, I'm sure I could come up with some ideas."

And that was like a year or so back.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Is it wrong that I dont want Ridley just so theres a shitstorm?

There's going to be a shitstorm either way. People are just choosing sides.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I wonder if that will make the eventual shitstorm better or worse

I'll take playable boss versions of Ridley and K. Rool like that one 'leak' talks about over nothing.

 

[QKT100]

I think Ridley's a bad move, he's too fucking big.

Have like...Rundas or someone.

 

[Dimitri LH]

64 man tournament

Have to be there at 7am tomorrow to have any chance of getting in

STILL WINNING THIS SHIT

Your gonna wreck em with shiek (im guessing due to your high praise when testing her)

 

[QKT100]

In fact, Rundas would be fucking awesome. You could totally imagine his up+B involving treading ice.

 

[User 73706]

Wait a sec, you're agreeing with me on Smash Bros? You have to be trolling. Nobody agrees with my Smash opinions.

 

[Red Arremer]

Is it wrong that I dont want Ridley just so theres a shitstorm?

Long-time Smash fans will not even bat an eyelash at it. We've been let down so many times, especially after the heartbreak of the Melee intro, we'll just press our lips together in a hard frown and swallow it, like we've done in the past 15 years.

 

[Durden77]

Yeah but....

Spoiler

He's ultra dead

 

[QKT100]

So is Ridley?

 

[Red Arremer]

So is Ridley?

Clearly someone hasn't played a Metroid game, or else they would know that Ridley's survival and capability to seemingly come back from the dead are a trope spanning across the series.

 

[Spinluck]

8 players battles would be very overwhelming

Maybe a tag mode?

Still seems like too much though.

 

[KHlover]

And Falcon

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Clearly someone hasn't played a Metroid game, or else they would know that Ridley's survival and capability to seemingly come back from the dead are a trope spanning across the series.

Poor Kraid.

 

[QKT100]

Similar with Ganondorf, Wolf, Bowser, Mr Game and Watch, so why not Rundas?

 

[SenorArdilla]

Reminds me of some Mewtwo fans who petitioned to get Mewtwo removed from the roster because he was bottom tier.

 

[Golnei]

Poor Kraid.

Kraid's just as invincible, but nobody bothers to hire him anymore.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Reminds me of some Mewtwo fans who petitioned to get Mewtwo removed from the roster because he was bottom tier.

It worked.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Maybe a tag mode?

Still seems like too much though.

Tag Mode would be great! but I'm talking about 8 players AT ONCE

 

[Forkball]

So this is the tier list for PotDs:

New characters
Vets
Assist trophies (ergo eliminating new characters)
Trophies (also eliminate new characters)
New Stages
New items
Alt outfits
Move info
Smash Run enemies
New info about old stages
UI info
Falco confirmed

 

[User 73706]

Haven't a ton of Smash reps died? Bowser, Ganondorf, Meta Knight, Dedede, I think Snake in some fashion, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wolf, Wario, Pit...

I mean sure, it's semantics on what you count as "dying" but I really doubt someone getting "killed off for real" in their game would impact representation in Smash.

Spoiler

ROB, Mr. Game and Watch, Samus, Mega Man, OG Pac-Man, Sonic and the Space Animals are all participating from beyond the grave, after all.
