As in "Heathcliff"
If that's the case, I'll be... 90% satisfied. Only real drawbacks for me would be no Chorus Kids, Ice Climbers + Lucas cut, and Dr. Mario returning. Otherwise, totally happy; I got a bunch of newcomers I wanted including my dream character, and it's the best Smash roster ever *by far*. :)



Aw, I forgot to mention that. I don't... sorry. US only. :(

Yeah, Ice Climbers omission was just weird for me and I don't mind to see Mewtwo, Wolf, Lucas, Snake and Chorus Kid getting in. I already accepted that they are gone. Newcomers in this game are perfect in their own way. :)

OK, my mind is blown and I can't formulate real thoughts so I'll just shout about things.

PLAYABLE DEMO!!! Sure it's Japan only but we'll get one soon, holy crap!

Thread 16?? What is wrong with you people, how are you maintaining this level of hype for so long!? There's no way it's healthy!!

People are complaining about the PotD when it confirms a demo??? That's nuts!

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had the demo come out before the Pic of the Day. At least it does mention that an overseas demo is coming.

I hope we get at least one PotD this week though. Better this week than sometime a few weeks ago, since we have demo and possible leaks to keep us engaged. Still disappointed to wake up and see that.

Surprised it got that many lol

I bet it's still smash bros' fault it got that many. Hype of people expecting it to be smash bros :p

J/K, it was probably more character speculation than anything. And then all the abandon-threads once roster was complete and nobody was happy.

Neutral B - Arrows, Bomb Arrows (TP - affects arc and distance along with adding flame damage and greater hitstun), Crossbow (LCT - fires a barrage of bolts with very little hitstun, can't charge. Though it'd look a little weird due to using the regular bow's animations, the problem could likely be circumvented through cleverly positioning the model.)

You shouldn't worry about that, Megaman's custom moves already showed how it can change a lot (the up special) so I would go further and use different items from Link's arsenal, rather than just other types for the one's he already got (Except Bombchu, I want that)

Threads are 20k posts each right? So we've had 300k+ posts about Smash so far? Crazy.

Anyway, is there a reason why people are saying Link is good now? What's the deal?

We already know magic (maybe electric?) boomerang is one of them. It was shown in the E3 direct.

I had forgotten about that; hopefully the rest of them are a little more interesting. But even if his custom moves will be uninspired, at least he seems much more fun to use.
 
The waiting gives me stomache.

Stomach ache?

He's faster with less landing lag. His smash attacks are also quicker and have better KO power, including his new running attack which is a cool leap strike. It remains to be seen how he compares to the rest of the cast, but he is definitely improved from his prior iterations.
 
You know, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure none of my top 3 veterans made the top 20. Unless I voted for Pikachu or something? Maybe Ganondorf?

I bought Super Mario Bros 3 on 3DS because of the Smash sale. Nintendo you glorious bastards.

Now I'm waiting for Zelda II (next week?!).

I've stopped buying virtual console games that are on multiple systems :/ If it's exclusive to one system, like earthbound or GBA games, whatever. If it was on Wii, or it's on Wii U/3DS (like mario 3), I refuse to buy it. Maybe one day! Maybe one day we'll have cross-buy or 'account buy'
 
Don't know if this has already been reported, but according to the demo gameplay, victory themes for oldcomers are just the brawl remix recycled. I think is a bit underwhelming.

How Ness has falled since N64 :lol

Honestly I don't really care about tiers as I play for fun but I found funny that I mostly play "weak" characters.
I used to think Ness was really strong in 64 (like, wayyy back when. A long time ago I thought this). When I checked the tiers, apparently he's pretty low. And I think he's fallen since then. But the thing about 64, even the bad characters are pretty good and fun. In Melee it just feels hopeless to try out Kirby or Mewtwo, and likewise for Falcon or Link in Brawl.

It's why I hope SSB4 ends up more on the 64 side of things than the latter two. Even if the higher competitive tiers are a little stratified, I'll view the game as a success if every character is actually fun to use.
