Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XV: Kübler-Ross Edition

To those who are sick of menu pics: the game is releasing in less than a week. You'll know everything that could possibly be considered a megaton within the next seven days. What does it matter that the PotD isn't doing huge reveals?

To those who are importing the game: you'll have the game within a month. Why do you need to blow so much money just to get it 3 weeks earlier?

this is Smash hype, you know how this works

Cue WhineGAF.

Decent update. Keeping his cards close to his chest for relase is a good idea.

Little late for that. We've already seen the cards.

I'd rather just have random gameplay screenshots. After the first month, I never touch anything in Smash besides normal smashing. Might not even make it a month now that online will work.
 
Yeah, I'm convinced that Sakurai is trolling now. Not that it matters, since a leak could happen at any moment.

I don't even think it's trolling. He just knows the leaks gonna happen and he probably said "fuck it, menus" lol

...So I just got a PS4 with Destiny to pass the time until Smash drops in the US. What are you guys playing to pass the time?
 
I think he's honestly just trying to establish the basic modes before the game is released. No trolling whatsoever.

I thought so too after the first ten menu pictures. Now he's just dragging it out, and probably for good reason. I wouldn't mind seeing at least one more veteran reveal before launch. I need my high quality renders!
 
Shulk - The main character of a second-party JRPG that didn't exactly light the sales charts on fire in Japan or Europe and, for quite awhile, was never even going to be released in the US at all? Yeah, Shulk being playable (let alone Xenoblade even being referenced) in Smash 4 seemed like just about the unlikeliest thing ever.

Xenoblade is first-party. :p

I'll spend most of my time in Smash modes, online and probably Smash Run to get dem 680+ trophies.

I'll be picking up Destiny when the shops open, I started a new Melee file a couple nights ago, and I'm currently in what I believe to be the final dungeon of Darksiders.
 
Classic in Melee gives you stuff.
I didn't have a problem beating classic with everyone in Melee, it was Brawl where it started to feel like a chore because of the roster number. Smash 4 is going to be even worse in that regard so unless they did something to classic mode I wasn't going to look forward to it.

Luckily they heard my prayers and answered.
 
Great pic - Classic Mode is shaping up to be more interesting and rewarding than ever this time around!

I love that any time Sakurai doesn't post a pic of a new character or stage, he's considered to be "trolling." Come the fuck on. The game's out in a matter of days, what are you even expecting? A new character every day? There's no pleasing some of you guys.

I wouldn't say it almost got locked, but it was heading in that direction. And a bunch of posts of a gross insect that kept getting quoted had to be removed.

Oh god, I'm really glad I missed that. I always have to duck out of the thread for a day or so when people start posting and quoting horrifying insect pics and just let it pass, because I'm hugely arachnophobic and seeing those kinds of pics makes me seriously uncomfortable. I can't even look at Toxi's avatar without getting nauseous and itchy.

Xenoblade is first-party. :p
Small detail, but I'm pretty sure Monolith Soft is now a first-party developer for Nintendo.

My bad, you're right! Still doesn't change the fact that I'm utterly shocked Shulk made it in, though.

I really don't care about reveals now unless there's a trailer. Like I said, I'd rather just have gameplay over menu stuff. But to be fair, he could reveal a character each pic this week and still have some left over.

Yeah, same. He makes more sense the more you think about it, but I never really considered him when the game was first announced. The ones I saw coming were Little Mac, Palutena and Pac-Man.

MaverickHunter tells them off!

i agree
 
Little Mac, Palutena, and Villager were the only ones I predicted, though I had read that article where Sakurai explains why Villager wasn't in Brawl. Otherwise, I probably would have written him off.

Uh, no, this is exactly what I expected him to post. I'm actually surprised the full game hasn't been leaked yet. Why post something substantial when people probably have their hands on the game already? I don't believe in the theory that these posts are planned weeks in advance. Sakurai is most likely lurking GAF right now.
I wish.
 
Hmm, with the new intensity system instead of regular difficulties like in the past games, I wonder what level we'll need to play on to fight Crazy Hand.

Did we know that we have to unlock special moves for characters before now?

Yes. Ever since the E3 demo IIRC.

I don't think he is. He just knows his fans too well.
 
Hey Oric, if your schedule is making the poll stuff inconvenient why don't you have someone else post it for you at the appropriate time? That way you don't have to worry about it too much.
Plus I'm dying to know the Top 3 RIGHT NOW!!

I actually thought of doing just that, but I've got it figured out. I went ahead and finished all three posts over the past few hours, so it shouldn't be difficult to just copy and paste them in. Though, just so you know, I'll do 3rd tomorrow, and both 2nd and 1st on Wednesday. I'll do them back to back, as we'll probably be rolling in leaks by then anyway.

Some more Tomodachi Life, finishing Minish Cap, Hyrule Warriors, finishing ALTTP, and I was thinking of playing some All Star Battle Royale (it's free on ps+ in sept.) just to be flashed by how much better Smash is, when it's released.

Good call having it done by Wednesday. This place will be talking about nothing but leaks after that so it's a good time to end it.

Just restarted Strange Journey a few days back. I'm at Sector Hologrum now. This is for preparation in Persona Q :)

And I'm also playing Brawl from time to time.
