Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 2: Where Pilotwings is apparently Minecraft

What native 1080p screens do we have?
There's a few somewhere, I don't feel like finding them. I do remember Toon Link's daily reveal pic was 1080p but I don't know where it was obtained.
Sakurai seems to be experimenting with fox's fur cause it seems different than last time, probably trying to find ways to emulate fur without actually using full on fur shaders which will slow the game down.
I think you're right, I honestly don't remember Fox looking like this initially.

I do wish there would be more of an actual change to Fox, he looks practically identical to Brawl, except the new colors, of course.
 
Retreading through the op and searching to dig up drama, what's the deal with:

"So we're forced into the situation where we may need to reduce some characters to a certain degree. but we're really working hard in order to include as many characters as possible."

Someone tell me it's some weird translation issue and not Sakurai saying Wii U characters may receive alterations and changes based entirely on the 3DS hardware limitations to ensure consistency between both platforms.

An internet hunting I go!
 
Iwata asked Sakurai to direct the new Smash game and asked him what platform should it be put on, 3DS or Wii U. (I think) Sakurai said both. That's that.
Sakurai can make mistakes too, tripping for example.

Edit: Wow Fox looks really bad, like wood.

So far Olimar has been seen with only three pikmin at a time, if I'm not mistaken.

We've talked about this from hell and back, it's most likely a mistranslation and it doesnt seem like the roster is getting reduced, we concluded that its most likely that the roster size wont be 64>melee or melee>brawl there will be more on the roster but not a substantial amount, in a later interview he said that none of the brawl roster has had to be cut yet thugh it doesnt seem he will be doing that with many characters if he has since toon link is back and olimar was the biggest worry because of the 3DS version.
 
"Here's a close-up snapshot of Fox McCloud's Blaster. It can open up."

This reminds me a lot of Sons of Liberty. The way the textures look and how crisp the lines are.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that what he means is that he wants to achieve character parity between both platforms, and what that entails is the possibility of potential characters not making the cut because of the characters requiring to be functional on the lesser hardware of the 3DS. So far though, he's said there has been no issues in getting characters in.

He's already said that both versions will be different except for the character roster which will be the same, so most likely the Wii U version will have more "fat" to it while the 3DS version will be stripped down of extra content.

Roster size wasn't so much at question. "Reduce some characters" to me implies reductions to their function or something. Like, this:

Though I could see that being fine for balance reasons.

Oh, sorry, I was annoyed cause gaf went down as soon as I went to reply to you So I just skimmed through and replied what I thought I was gonna say before.
 
Trying to hit people that just ran away was not cool. But then again that was in Brawl, in Melee temple was (for some time) the favorite stage.

But Sector Z > Temple. IMO

If people are running away then you shouldnt play smash with those people. If they ran away in brawl, they would run away in melee. I just might agree with that though that could just be nostalgia plus being a starfox fan
 
In light of the recent Toon Link and Sonic reveals, I'm going on a limb thinking Sakurai won't cut anyone, so I revised my roster:



What do you think?

This is also what i thought about the reduction of the Pikmen. In Brawl Pikmins were never some complex forms (low polygons-models and a very basic KI), but very hard to manage. It was more chance for normal player, which Pikmen they end up using, then a tactical decision. So reducing the number of them makes the character-gimmick much more manageable.

A interesting question still is, will Olimars Up+B be changed? There are not enough Pikmen for the move to work anymore. So will more magical appear or does he get a different move?
 
I can't wait till Krystal is revealed. This thread will be amazing
in how quickly it gets shut down.




Because he's even further from being a Nintendo platform mainstay than he was last time?

Actually...ever since brawl he has had another game on the 3DS just 2 years ago.
 
I like his teeth, makes him look like a wild animal. That's a pretty cool blaster too.

Wonder how they'll handle StarFox stages. 3DS will obviously get a StarFox 64 3D stage, but what about Wii U? Another Assault stage? Starwing? ...Adventures?
 
I love the new blaster design with the small details like the Starfox logo and the orange parts.

For comparison here are the previous versions

I hope they take some inspiration from "Pokemon The Origin", but I doubt it.
It got rid of all the non-canon BS like Pokemon saying their own names as cries, which leaked itself into the games.

Loved it.

I hope they change Pokemon Trainer's name to 'Red'. Him having a Charizard really fits now.
If Mewtwo gets in I want his 'roar' cries from The Origin. Just fucking awesome.
