Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments

I retrieved those from around the time of E3. I'm not sure if there are more out there, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised.

They'd be pressed for content, since that's all we've really seen of the 3DS version in motion.

So no X/Y, FE:Awakening or Luigi's Mansion 2 trophies for Wii-U Smash or...?

We'll undoubtedly see the Pokemon since they're just part of a gigantic franchise, but FE and LM will probably just fall back to console versions.
 
A non-battle screenshot? I really really like this development.

Can't wait to get some other modes or non-standard battle content revealed/explained or re-confirmed!
 
Them GIFs, SO good.

Sakurai commented on his Pic of the Day:

"The new Super Smash Bros. games are expected to be released sometime in 2014. We're still working on beefing them up even more so please stay tuned."

Just posted on Miiverse as response to others.

Newcomer Miltank confirmed. In celebration of:

Reel tawk, what you say about my waifu, bitch?
 
"Waifu" and discussions around that I honestly find rather insane. A character that doesn't actually exist in real life is something one deems their personal wife in which they have no communication with at all and then proceed to to have discussions about it on forums such as:

"My waifu is the most kawaii"
"Your waifu sucks"

In jokingly it's pretty hilarious, the sad part though is that people actually are serious about them being their "waifus" and mean what they say as if the character is real. Even if real it would be like calling a random person on the street your wife.

So yeah, INSANE.
 
I just hope we get copious amounts of trophies from different eras. Brawl was over-saturated with GCN/Wii ones due to convenient model usage and it was weird.

Guess that allowed the one-off Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast characters to get some spotlight, though. Seriously, the European version even gave them unique backstories made up on the spot. Kalypso was a dancer! And owned a clubhouse all the Kremlings regarded as an "oasis." (...whatever that means. Teehee.)
 
Also, I think we should be able to trade trophies via an online hub or StreetPass. You select the one's you don't want and recieve offers from others online, or you randonly swap with StreetPassers.

Yeah I agree. Using trophies with StreetPass seems like the most obvious route.
 
Always thought the 3DS version of Saria looks a bit more depressed than the N64 version. Well maybe not depressed, but the eyes are certainly more mellow looking.

Um. Do you actually think anyone uses the term seriously? Are you aware of how the term came to exist?
 
oh, Saria trophy, nice. Would be cool if she was an assist trophy in SSB4, she could ... uhm ... ehh ... do whatever she does in OoT
 
Well there are some people who do. One guy even 'married' one a while back. DX
Well then that's hilariously ironic because it was originally an Azumanga Daioh fan joke about a character who has a wife everyone thinks is imaginary because he's so creepy and pathetic. The term was originally meant to make fun of the exact behavior you're associating it with.

That's not a "waifu". He's Japanese, wife and waifu are the same word in that language. Waifu in English is a very specific meme with a very specific intent.

Waifu means Wife, no matter what anyone tries to spin on it, that's the whole point. People tried to spin "moe" into a billion different things as well. Also, just view any anime thread, "waifu" isn't considered a bad thing, it's considered part of the 'culture' now.
 
Guys, this thread is about Smash Bros, not waifus.

Anyways, nice to see trophies coming back! It's one of the better achievement systems that I've encountered. Loved Brawl's "Challenges."
 
Show me the entry.

It's a fucking meme. It started as a joke, it is a joke, it will always be a joke. It's okay to admit you're wrong.

You realize bronie is a meme too? Also your logic here doesn't make sense because you're saying it has to be in the dictionary to mean something yet you're saying because it's not in the dictionary it means something. lol

I really don't understand why you are fighting this when the origin of the term is well documented and understood. Facts are facts.

It's not always a joke, there are people who actually takes their "waifu" seriously.

I actually really doubt that anyone says "mai waifu" and seriously considers the character in question to be their actual wife.

Er... technically he is right and you even agreed on the origin. The person who originally used the term, Mr Kimura, was non-jokingly saying the woman in the photograph was "my wife". Of course being a Japanese show the English was actually Engrish and thus came out as Mai Waifu. Just because the meme it blossomed resulted in it being the go to term for serious or joke imaginary girlfriend doesn't stop it from just straightforwardly meaning "my wife".

As an internet meme in a written context, it's intellectually dishonest to make no distinction between the Japanese マイワイフ and Mai Waifu. One is the original source material, the other is the joke.

Wut? It's a phrase. You're taking this way too seriously. If someone wants to use the phrase Mai Waifu to just mean my wife is a cutesy way what's wrong with that? You know, by their definition, memes have liquid definitions right?
 
So guyz, which Zelda was the most waifu-rific?

Off-hand, it'd seem like OoT, no? I mean, there was Saria, Zelda, Malon, Ruto, Nabooru... Uh, Impa... and Epona...

Well you haven't argued against my point yet you're just saying you're right and I'm wrong. Go to a few anime threads, anime sites, see what the modern usage of the word is or go to /a/. When people refer to characters they're sexually attracted to as "waifu" and partake in the culture, that is in some regards taking it seriously. Outside of that, people have taken it seriously.

In this case I'd like to point out "Gay" has had plenty of different meanings overtime. One thing I find common is people tend to like to use jokes to make what they're saying not seem what it actually is, so although it is engrish of My Wife and is suppose to be hilarious, if you really haven't seen the culture around waifus in anime and manga topics, forums, and sites then I'd assume you haven't been a part of them.

I mentioned earlier it's funny when it isn't serious, but in my case more often than not It's been serious.
 
Kokonoe is my waifu.

EDIT: I want these lovelies to be on the new page. I plan to get both versions of Smash, but man... 3DS version has something special to it.

(It must be my OoT nostalgia. First the Gerudo Valley stage, and now the Saria-on-a-stump trophy!)

Trophies... Better than nothing I suppose.
:-O

Trophies are one of the best parts of Smash! And today Sakurai announced we'll get separate collections for each version of the game. That's twice as many trophies! That's like two Nintendo Encyclopedias instead of one!
 
The trophies always include everything you see in the backgrounds, so I'm sure the 3DS version will have trophies for the Nintendogs and for the train from Spirit Tracks. Maybe a trophy for Nabooru, as a nod to Gerudo Valley.

I'd love the 3DS version to have lots trophies for Fire Emblem Awakening, Luigi's Mansion 2, Animal Cross New Leaf, Pokémon X and Y, Harmo Knight, Pushmo, etc...

...man, it's funny how hyped I'm feeling after the trophy announcement. Now the game is feeling complete!
