The Smash Bros Discussion Thread

But in all likelyhood, it'd be Chrom.
 
The thing that bothered me about Brawl- was that for a period of time, People tried to take it as seriously/have it taken seriously as Project M, Melee, Brawl, and 64.

Which made little sense, since it was supposed to be a tourney player's escape from serious play. You weren't supposed to take B- seriously, but some devs and people wanted it to be. It's too goofy for that shit.

Yeah I didn't understand what was the point with trying to balance a game that was supposed to be just ridiculous, mindless fun in the first place.

For me the mod I play the most is Project M, although I still do prefer Melee over it. I have no problem with playing Brawl-, but I just can't play a joke mod as much as a serious mod. It's kinda the same reason why I can't fully get into Divekick. Sure I think it's fun to play and fool around with your friends for a bit, but I can't imagine investing hours and hours into games like those.

The reason they're "balancing" is not to make sure everyone is fairly even in terms of power and ability but to essentially make everything smoother and get rid of bugs. The first version of Minus was buggy as fuck. They pretty much spent the entirety of updates really getting to know what kind of mod they wanted. I personally like the direction they're taking. It's readily accessible for casual players who like ridiculously overpowered stuff, but deep enough to be a decently serious tourny worthy mod. I've no issue with their most recent updates because the things they're doing to attacks and such are really quite interesting. Instead of just adding elements to random projectiles, speeding up the unleash and power of attacks and creating broken recoveries, they're making new moves to spice things up in a broken as fuck way.

It's great and fun and, imo, better than Project M.
 
You know judging by the pattern so far, it seems that the next character is going to be revealed in the next couple of days.

Very soon, looks like!

Anyway, anyone see today's picture?
People think t's an indirect confirmation of a SMG Stage.
It's spacey, and there's a shine on Kirby that resembles the "Shine" on Mario in the Super Mario Galaxy Box Arts
 
Beck confirmed.

It'd be cool if Kirby (or actually Waddle Dees and Doos) were flying around on Warp Stars in a SMG stage. If King Dedede or Meta Knight got the boot, they could be up there too.

I really doubt both of them are getting the boot.
Especially since they were in a canon Kirby game very recently.
They're still relevant.
 
The King can stay simply because his FS is so fantastic. Meta Knight....sigh. I just hope they did something about his whirlwind of HUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH *slashing sounds*.

It could very well be a smg stage... And I kind of hope there is one to be perfectly honest. I freaking love that game to shreds. Anyways, what if it's a kirby world? Return of Fountain of Dreams maybe?

Either that or Dangerous Dinner, really!
I'd like maybe fighting on top of the SS Lorcutter!
 
Lorcutter stage with Landia and Magolor Soul stage hazards please.

I only want Arena Ferox in the wii u version but its 3ds exclusive :(
 
Ha, I wish it was Jugdral.

More likely we get an Archnea stage since Marth is going to be the only Fire Emblem rep who isn't from Awakening initially.
 
But they also get the Seed bomb viridi stage which is godly hehe...
I dont care for the Super Mario 3d land or nintendogs stages though
Someone remind me of the wii exclusive stages so far?

Pilotwings, Pyrosphere, SMG probably..
 
Sorry, Mario, but your Princess is in another Smash game.

Strange, it says challenger approaching on the main site, but when I click it it just leads me to Luigi's profile. . .
Edit: well, erm, a second too early I guess
 
I must say, this Smash game's color and graphic style is VERY kind to the Mario characters.

Yeah I like how Sakurai is stepping away from the dirt/hard textures Brawl had and is instead going to bright solid colors. With new lighting, anti-aliasing, and HD it really looks great!

But man, Peach looks so much cuter in this game! Just look at her character portrait! :D

Look at that cute back throw too! :P

This screen shows off her crown attack. I forgot about this attack.

WELL THAT'S JUST DANDY. I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET DOWNSMASHED AND RADISH'D ALL THE TIME AND WHEN I FINALLY LAND A HIT, SHE JUST FLOATS BACK *grumble* *grumble*

I'm glad and all that she's a character, but a good Peach is a PAIN to fight.
 
This screen shows off a new normal where she hits you with her crown.

Naw that's not new that's actually her fair. She's had that both for Melee and Brawl.

Well at least this probably has never happend to you. Ultimate disrespect:

Well look at that my main's back. Now I'm just waiting for Jigglypuff in terms of veterans. I feel satisfied enough almost to not care what newcomer Sakurai throws out at us. It would be lovely if Palutena or Lucina was announced though.

Also minor gripe here: I would like to see a goddamn Shadow Queen palette already lol.

I liked this so hard, I almost broke my mouse.
 
PEACH IS BACK!!! :D:D:D
ALL HAIL PEACH! ALL HAIL PEACH!
OH SAY CAN YOU SEE, BY THE DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT~

*ahem*

But yeah I'm liking how the way she looks here. They seem to have reached a compromise with her dress. It's not too complicated, but it still has some of that flair it had in Brawl.

I also like that ribbon in her up smash. It's pretty, and it makes the hit box more apparent.
 
Oh boy, we totally didn't see her coming. :/
Kinda bummed out we got another Mario character after Luigi.
We knew she was gonna be in anyway, and after all the teasing with the Pyrosphere and Wuhu Island this is kind of a big disappointment.

Whatever, at least she looks prettier this time with the bright graphics
 
I'm glad she's back and all but I really REALLY wish Sakurai saved her for when Super Mario 3D was closer to release. And here I was hoping it would be either a Pokemon character, (promoting X & Y) Sonic, (promoting Sonic Lost Worlds) or Zelda. (promoting Wind Waker HD)

I can only hope the next curveball he throws us is revealing more than one Veteran a month or possibly a Newcomer next month. (C'mon Little Mac, Dillon, Shulk or K. Rool)

Also I really hope the Pyrosphere stage is just Sakurai picking stages based on what games are recent. You can't believe how many people I see throw a bitch fit simply because of the Other M references that are in this.
