The Smash Bros Discussion Thread

Sakurai did mention that he wanted to experiment with the multiple console gameplay of the 3DS, the camera probably follows your character and your opponent's camera follows their character.

That's... actually kind of brilliant.

So can we expect some like Great Maze type level where finding the opponents is half the fun? That'd be cool.

I wonder if it's a 2.5 3D kind of map, where it's a set linear path, but it 's not straight. The hilarity of people being smashed and following the path until they loop the stage to be K.O.'d sounds hilarious.

That's what I meant, sorta like Mario Galaxy except on the X-Z plane instead of the X-Y plane.
 
That stage does sound like oodles of fun. Just give us the option to use Anistar City's theme. PLEEEEEAAAASEEEE!!!! Not like I've spent more than an hour just sitting there... listening...
 
Well. Sayonara, March-kun

So no character this month, but we got a lot of stage info, assist trophies, and items.
I can't really complain, like at all.

Did you know?
March has 31 days. And today is not the 31st.

Yeah, we still have one more day in the month to have a disappointing pic of the day! :P

sorry you aren't qualified to play Smash Bros
you have to have at least read 25 (twenty-five) issues and be able to recite the name of at least ONE writer or running gag
 
Fake as fuck.

Smashbros.us instead of Smashbros.com
ANd when you click on say, Diddy Kong, it goes to Smashbros.com
Well made fake, but it's fake.

nOoooo, not with those graphics

listen my uncle knows shigeru iwata and he said nester and pac-man were gonna be in smash 4 just deal with it
 
For you, it may be one of the most rage-inducing days of your life. But for me...

it shall be a Tuesday.
 
Remember kids, only a moron does anything on April 1st

I mean, only an idiot would even think of say, releasing a character DLC on that day

I mean, really

WHO

WOULD

DO

THAT

just kidding i love you you sexy bastard you
Also, fun fact: Gmail was launched really frakking close to April Fools, so people believed its service was a prank at first.
 
what about his throws????????
Mac is a boxer and grapples are illegal in boxing
I learned this after getting kicked out of children's boxing
that was the worst senior of year ever
 
Its already been confirmed as fake

"Pic of the day. Luigi might be thinking, "Who would've thought I'd get to show off the Poltergust in Super Smash Bros.?!" Wondering if it's going to suck something in? Yeah, it probably will."

Luigi's final smash is finally relevant! Yay! But this also means March is the first month without a veteran reveal.

Definitely an improvement over his Negative Zone from Brawl. I approve.
 
This is really bittersweet, I actually really liked Negative Zone as a Final Smash but on the other hand it's about time he got his Poltergust.
 
Fuck yeaaaaaaaaah. Everyone who doubts the power of the great vaccum can suck it, but not as well as the Poltergust. Bad side: I hope this doesn't deconfirm some recognition of Dreamy Luigi.
 
YEEEESSSS!! Good god finally getting rid of that shitty final smash and replacing it with something that clearly isn't shitty. I don't even care if it's GOOD, as long as it's not that broken as fuck negative zone.

1000/10, would use repeatedly and love it. While there was no character reveal for this month, we got a whole lotta other stuff that more than makes up for another character imo.
 
Luigi's new Final Smash sucks.

I think this is my favorite part of the reveal. Like Sakurai just knows.
