The Smash Bros Discussion Thread

WiiU Notes (will be continually updated):
  • Pit has best hurt sounds confirmed.
  • Kirby's final smash kinda easy to wiff. Doesn't look to have longer range that Galaxia Darkness.
  • Tree, Chain Chomp and other grounded items do not go onto the ground when Skyloft lands, disappear with platform.
  • Blue Shell can be picked up in midair. Invincible Mario Kart nature is not here, thank god.
  • Wiffing with Villager pocket is punishable as heck. A kinda long amount of helpless time afterwards.
  • Little Mac back dash looks badass.
  • Giga Mac still really fast. Jesus that's terrifying. Lasts as long as Super Sonic. Does not look very powerful, however. Sorta balanced, maybe a little underpowered.
  • Mega Man's Charge Shot side smash doesn't go very far, about 1/6 of Final Destination.
  • Greninja has a log as well as the Substitute Doll for his counter
  • Mega Man's Up Air looks to be a MONSTER at getting Smash Balls
  • Purple Fur, Pink Scarf Donkey Kong is the sassiest Kong this side of Kongo Bongo.
  • Male Wii Fit Trainer has a male voice. I don't know if it's the same as Wii Fit cause who uses the Male Wii Fit Trainer?
  • More starting and ending lag on Sonic's Homing Attack.
  • DK has three meteor smashes.
  • Sun Salutation has really good knockback.
  • Genesect uses a HUGE fuck you beam, 3/4 the size of the Zero Lazer.
  • Eye Turret item can be hit to fall on it's back, causing it to fire at the sky. Neat.
  • Olimar's FS lasts much shorter.
  • Mii's can be seen in rocket belts in the Pilotwings stage.
  • I swear Smash Balls have health dependant on the character. Like, Samus can do 700 HP of damage to it and not get it, and Pit can do 800 and get it simply because a character has to do 800 HP of damage to it.
  • Olimar praises the sun as his win
  • Green Dress Rosalina looks slightly strange. Thought I was colorblind or the computer monitor was busted at first.
  • Dr. Shrunk dance confirmed as a taunt. It's great, lasts a long time.
  • Remembered from a post yesterday: Greninja's water fountain taunt causes damage
  • Characters start to flash red at 200% damage
  • Super Scope's shots have limited range, only the distance of Final Destination. Was this always in?
  • Wario Mario looks off yellow instead of Wario's yellow. To make him more distinct from Wario?
  • Red hat Pikachu called "Trucker Pikachu" from the guys
  • Gooey Bomb has jiggle physics! wiggle wiggle
  • Little Mac has charging up VA for his NSpec. Can't stealth charge with him going "gwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!"
  • Mac's 1 hit ko upper can be blocked by the stage. Pikachu got hit and didn't die due to him being stuck on the ropes
  • Off Screen play confirmed, someone hit the gamepad and it went "Look at the GamePad!" on the TV
  • Pikachu got his ONCE and lost the Smash Ball. Looks like it;s really easy to lose now.
  • Volt Tackle causes tiny balls of electricity to become projectiles when you press A
  • Cuccos are deadly

I find it funny how Little Mac keeps his gloves on when he's clapping.
 
It looks like stocks are going to be very precise this time around. All three people who lost in the last round were counted as second, because they all died practically at the same time.
 
Speaking of GOH-RIL-AH, Smashboards is saying Chunky Kong from DK 64 is an AT!

Nope, you didn't misread me typing Funky Kong, I said Chunky Kong, AKA THE BEST NON-DK/DIDDY-CHARACTER IN DK 64! (other than Lanky Kong, of course. :P)

  • Poltergust is Luigi's FInal Smash, is a 1-hit ko command grab thing in a circular radius.
w-what? what was wrong with his old smash? I loved it.

It wasn't guaranteed death like most other Final Smashes.
 
I guess I can understand that. Man, I'm gonna miss accidentally using his smash in midair and falling to my death.
 
it was too fun
they had to nerf to something pathetic

It had nothing to do with his character.

No, it was replaced because it didn't fit Luigi at all.
Poltergust, that fits him.
he'll never escape that shitty vacuum
why nintendo

I mean, even his lightning powers or Brobot or something from canon would be better than made up dark magic.
It doesn't have to be the vaccuum (despite how, you know, iconic to his character it is), but it does have to NOT be Negative Zone.

Because it isn't Melee, that's why.
Really though, wavedashing and l-cancelling aren't the exact problem they're just things people use to articulate on the problem. Wavedashing represents better approach options and l-cancelling represents combos, I.E. a more aggressive metagame (which makes it a deeper competitive game and a much better spectator sport.)
Combos are confirmed at the very least to be possible (and will get tweaked a ton by the time the game is released so any specific complaints about them right now are null), and while the game seems to favor defense a la brawl there's no way you can tell that with 100% certainty in a 3 minute best buy demo. However the latter is still a pretty significant complaint- there are a lot of fixes for it, though, and it seems like sakurai is really trying to find a balance for the game that allows people to still have a good competitive experience, so we'll see.
Honestly I was half expecting for glory mode to include a reworked system that adds in melee air dodges, L-cancelling or no landing lag, reworked physics, etc. but if that existed they most certainly would have unveiled it at the invitational.

Well they seem pretty intent on not acknowledging the rpgs for better (not having anything SPM) or worse (not having anything M&L), so those are out
but really the shitty vacuum only became iconic to luigi when they forced it onto him in every goddamn spinoff, not because it's super important to luigi as a character (coward luigi isn't even done well in the mansion games, M&L at least made him more than that).
Not to mention the Mansion games are so unremarkable that I'd rather them make something fun up than force that shitty vacuum on to poor luigi in another spinoff
 
It was still fun to use. I'm not hating on his new smash, I just thought that he didnt need a new one.
 
Smash U on stream and WOAH DARK SAMUS IS AWESOME

Also, I like that there's a Donky Konga beat above Konga Beat to help keep rhythm.
 
there will always be criers and whiners when it comes to Smash.
