Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
Everyone was doing character rosters, so I decided to try my hand at a stage roster (Wii U version). It's rough and not terribly pretty to look at, but it is what it is:
No names, as is customary, and you're supposed to guess, I guess.
The images are more intended to show what I think they should be based on, not what the stages themselves would actually look like.
Though I will give you the answer to one of them, because it's just not possible to guess--dark green one with the tree on the bottom left of the main group is supposed to be a Fire Emblem countryside type thing, kind of a field battle version of Castle Siege. Not easy to get a picture that communicates this idea.
Maybe I'll do a 3DS one later.
Any answers to this?
Was it the up throw? I actually haven't played MK myself in years lol. Let me edit that out

I generally tolerate/disagree with 98% of the complaints people have about Brawl, but that's, uh, actually kinda dumb. Wow.
Oh, well, disregard me then.

up throw, as the name implies, has MK fly up to the top of the stage before dropping back down
down throw is just MK stomping on the other guy

Yeah I know I just didn't remember the input or even that he had a throw like his real D-smash until you explained it

I'm actually expecting one in February. But that Strategy Briefing might shake things up.

Hopefully that we would get Direct this week or next week. SMASH DIRECT ON TUESDAY! BELIEVE!
It's more likely that we wouldn't get ND until Feb tho.
Return to Dream Land actually brought it back en masse, so if you're a big fan of Super Star/Super Deluxe/Fun Pak you might want to check it out. It's got some pacing issues but it's a really solid game. Triple Deluxe looks fantastic for the same reasons.

The other separate ones are the past stages, which I think are self evident.
With their recent financial woes and the investor call coming up, it's expected that Nintendo will bombard us with announcements and info in an attempt to offset some of the money they've been hemorrhaging since the last quarter.

Hoots from SmashBoards said:
I felt same but he said it way better than I could have.
Oh I see, then hopefully it'll be full of release dates for previously announced games (looking at you Mario Golf).
Big Nintendo Directs haves 2 months in distinction to each others, so expect one for february, specialy after this month's nintendo talk with investors
foxuzamaki
Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Thinking about it now, because of that january direct last year, it kinda screwed up when they would actually make announcements so they would have to make a direct at the earliest this month and latest feb because, well, thats when you make announcements of games normally when its been a whole year.

This is just one of the side effects of Kirby's PAL territory persecution.
Haha, that's hilarious.

I'm better off importing it from America since I did mod my Wii, but I like playing Wii games on my Wii U now since the picture is cleaner.
Guess this is punishment for not buying a Kirby since Power Paintbrush.
Wait thats it, what if the dude a few pages back was saying when the Nintendo dudes couldn't play kirby in the beta was becuase Kirby gets multiple moves off his rivals?
That sounds like it would take up too many dev resources if you ask me.

There's never going to be a balanced Smash Bros. And besides, I'd rather have 55 kinda-balanced characters than 40 highly-balanced ones.

I like to think the Smash Bros. metagame with regards to character balance works better compared to the likes of Pokemon than Street Fighter or Killer Instinct, honestly. A tiered system of SSS-list, A-list, ganon-list, etc. fighters seems like it's a better fit for trying to get as many Nintendo reps in as possible rather than trying to perfectly balance 30-50 characters and have all of them be unique and be able to go toe-to-toe with one another.
theprodigy

even Pokemon is more balanced than Brawl, because of that team aspect
Oh, there'll be a Direct all right, quick clip of Iwata saying "I'm not resigning" *proceeds to spend war chest on Capcom, Bamco, and Sega*
All those IPs locked to one system actually could have the potential to save them.

Perfect Dark Tooie-Man Legendmue 3 will go down in history as gaming's second coming.
Too soon, subz.

Balance is just one aspect. When I say that, I mean that overall polish would almost certainly suffer.
I don't want another Brawl situation where things don't feel right.
That's what I'm thinking.

And we can finally have Xenosaga 4.

Beat me. I thought 10 characters would be good enough for 3rd sequels, and I expected to get 8 to 10 newcomers.

I'd rather have 40 well balanced characters than 55 and Brawl 2.0

Personally, I would love a revamp of Kirby's moveset
Special Up- tornado
Smash down- new bell powerup move that hits both sides
His normal side attacks should use his hammer
His special side could be something. Beetle, jet, I don't know.
I had a few other ideas, can't recall at the moment.
But right now, I feel like his moveset could be revamped to both fir him better and make im better in the game
