Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Miiverse Update Thread XVI

Wow, really? If so then I'll probably get more use out of custom move sets than I originally thought. What a cool little feature.

Yea, adding a new move set to Alph and the Koopalings is probably the extent I'll go with customs (besides collecting them all). Not terribly interested in them unless one of them is absurdly broken for unlocking stuff (like beating Cruel Smash or something)

Wasn't Dixie supposed to be one of the characters to be introduced later with the Wii U version (according to the new leak)? Oh well. :c

I wonder how many will be. It's literally just the warlock punch with a sword in his hand.
Should have been an alt costume instead of a custom move.

Just have him hold the sword in his off hand the whole time, but never attack with it.

Wow, I guess some people will never be happy. I mean this game is pure fan service in every sense and people are bawling like they're Bruce Wayne the night of his parents murder and Sakurai is Joe Chill. I mean, it looked like the sword extended the range of the warlock fist, ( just like custom moves are supposed to do) and it looks cool. Are people seriously delusional enough to think Ganon would ever have been retooled with his own moveset and as a sword user after two games of precedent? Also, why the need for another sword user? This game is already becoming Smash Calibur. Some people....

Edit: beaten

What else would you expect to happen? It's a custom move, so it will always be a variation of other options.

Not watching, but isn't it the patch that Sakurai commented in today's PotD?
Adds conquest mode. An online multiplayer thing.

Well he still has the red and purple recolour, but no re-modelled alt like Alph.

Haven't seen the back though to see if the Blood Falcon design is back.
I guess he is too much of a clone to have anything worth re-modelling so no rename. Also maybe this version is Captain Falcon undercover as Blood Falcon or something...

But like... why would they encrypt them in the first place, at all, ever? They're doing extra work to remove a useful feature and get no benefit.
To prevent modification and maintain system security (that is more important to Nintendo than your saves, especially given how the Wii and DS were devastated). Interestingly early 3DS cart saves had no encryption but the accessing the data off a cartridge is non-trivial.

I assume Nintendo's recent disclaimer that the release date for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U won't be announced during the Treehouse stream today puts the chance of that happening very close to zero percent. Or has there been any development on this, any hints or rumors?

It was a mistake then?
I thought they said that the Wii U version would get a date in the Treehouse stream.
 
G&W's custom version of Chef looks so much more useful than the vanilla version. It comes out a lot faster and horizontally. Hopefully custom moves bring a lot of depth to competitive smash!

Do you guys expect the demo today for the west?
I'd say it's too soon.

Japan got it a few days before release so expect it around the end of September.

-------------------

Those Ganondorf customs are lazy IMO. I don't think I can sacrifice attack power for slightly more range and grafting the Sage sword to his fist just looks bad.

Do we have any clue what his other custom specials are?
