My heart wouldn't be able to take it. Brawl's release date was my birthday before they delayed it until March.

Delay Smash Bros 4 WiiU confirmed.

Ugh same. It was supposed to be the highlight of my week and it ended up being crummy all around.
I was not a very happy person in high school.

I feel your pain; they did the same thing with Pokémon: The First Movie.

The hype is just too real.

In retrospect, I think I could have done more to be happier.

I've read the whole thing a few times now and I still don't get the joke.
I know it something obvious yet I don't see it lmao
Nah, just the FB page acknowledging Fox only, Final Destination. It made me laugh.
It's the "fox only, no items, final destination" meme that sometimes comes up when talking about competitive smash.
Never heard of that meme but I guess it makes sense.
Nintendo actually has been pretty good at acknowledging their fanbase's memes for years now.
"My body is ready", "Directly to you", etc.

Haha a bunch of reviewers just got our review codes for the 3DS version yesterday! It's kinda cool knowing the bulk of the work going on right now is probably on the wii u version.
Does anybody else think it's weird we haven't been told the date yet? If it is coming out in November, like many think, shouldn't we be hearing about that like...now? Haha

Maybe they are waiting for Smash 3DS to be out for worldwide first before announcing the release date. If people knew that the release date might be very close to 3DS release then majority of people would wait for Wii U version.

While I love a lot of the Final Smashes, I can't help but feel disappointed by others. Here are some that I feel need to change, and some ideas on how to change them.
Copied Final Smashes
Falco: "Personally, I prefer the air" says Falco, getting into a Landmaster. Why he couldn't call an aerial strike is beyond me.
Toon Link: Triforce Slash is already an uninspired, boring Final Smash. Giving it to Toon Link along with Link is just too much. Toon Link should've used the Ballad of Gales, where he plays the song and proceeds to fly up into the air in the King of Red Lions before crashing back down.
Dark Pit: The Dark Pit Staff was never some kind of superweapon in Uprising, so why is it in Smash? Really, they should've incorporated the Lightning Chariot, which Dark Pit used on a few occasions.
Lucina: Honestly, even a visual difference would've been enough to excuse the same Final Smash as Marth. All we needed was some kind of cut-in where she shouts something like she did in Awakening.
Sheik: Using the Light Arrow was fine when she was still part of Zelda, but now that she's apart, she could at least do something different. Maybe use the harp, or something generic based on ninjas.
Original Final Smashes
Rosalina & Luma: "The Final Smash of Minor Annoyance" - maybe they could incorporate the Comet Observatory, or the Galaxy end-game black hole?
Mario: "Let's take the most iconic character in the history of gaming, and just give him some kind of big fireball attack because he uses fire" - they seriously couldn't think of anything from the dozens and dozens of games he's been in?
Link: Once again, Triforce Slash is pretty dull.
Peach: It just seems so boring. Her name is Peach, so she drops peaches. Why not use her... wild emotional changes... from Super Princess Peach.
Mega Man: Kidding, of course. His is perfection.

Well, clones are being last minute additions so of course they had to reused final smashes for all clones instead of making brand new.
I had a good time, but I don't miss it.

Toon Link was not a last-minute addition this time around.

Yeah, that makes sense. If it does come out in November though, it's just gonna feel weird reading "Smash Wii U release date revealed, comes out in 4 weeks"
I just hope we get a worldwide release this time around
I like Mario's. He's supposed to be a generic all-arounder like Ryu, and the Mario Finale is his version of the Shinku Hadoken. My biggest issue with Mario is the useless F.L.U.D.D.
Aside from Falco and Toon Link not being last-minute in this case, Dark Pit and Dr. Mario both had relatively unique final smashes. They already had cut-ins working for Robin's FS - how difficult would it have been to give Lucina that visual effect, especially seeing as the art is taken directly from Awakening?

Mario Finale and Triforce Slash are rad.
I suppose I agree the clone-ish characters need some new FSes, yeah.

I like the Mario Finale but I wish it was more like a giant concentrated blast instead of the two big fireballs that swirl around each other. I get that they want to differentiate it from other giant laser final smashes like the Zero Beam or in SSBB the Triple Finish, but it was pretty bad in Brawl and doesn't look much stronger in this game.

I don't have any excuse for Toon Link but I guess they just leave it alone because he's cartoony Link.
Good point, it would make sense if Chrom appeared in final smash with Lucina but it would take time to change Robin's animations into Lucina's animations.
Dr. Mario's is just visual changed version of Mario's Finale, and Dark Pit's is basically Zelda's.
For Falco, I was pretty sure that he would get Arwing final smash but I guess I was wrong.

Falco's Final Smash continues to make no sense
"personally I prefer the air", says the one getting in a Landmaster

Lucina shouldn't have gotten Robin's Final Smash, but a nice cut-in right before she uses the attack would've been great. Instead we just have Awakening's health bar depleting. Shouldn't have been too hard.
I'm pretty sure the Final Smashes of Link and Toon Link are identical, when even the way the Landmaster works for Fox/Falco and the visuals for Dr. Mario/Dark Pit change. That's a shame.

did you read what I just said about Dark Pit? I said they reused Zelda's final smash for Dark Pit since it's not really unique/new final smash.
We can end the debate from two weeks ago or so - Pikachu in SSB (why did we debate that in the first place lol) is definitely based on the anime and not on the games.
Those swirly eyes only happen in the anime, not in the games :3

At least we finally know that the "green Mario" Luigi outfit isn't actually in the game.

The star explodes at the end giving 230% damage. Just have to get the opponents in there.

What's the difference between Luigi #1 and Luigi #3? They both look like they're wearing the same green-and-blue outfit.

EDIT: Ooo, Famitsu screwed up. Should be a yellow Luigi in there at the end.
To anyone who was using these, I finally finished my Smash 4 wallpapers.
This includes
- All character renders
- All alts (Koopalings, Male and Female versions of characters, NES and Famicom R.O.B. etc.)
- Bosses
- The Updated Wii U boxart

I honestly would have loved a Luigi alt that was exactly the same as the regular colors, but had an M on the cap instead of an L. That'll never happen though lol
