The Smash Bros Discussion Thread

No, I only got to play Mewtwo, masked man Lucas, Ness and Ike before I had to leave. But I did fight an ivysaur and that solar beam is amazing.

Yea, I really love Ivysaur in PM. In Brawl I completely ignored it and would use Charizard if I random'd onto Pokemon Trainer, but in PM Ivysaur is one of my secondary mains along with Game&Watch. He honestly feels like the closest thing Smash has ever got to a serious zoning character; when I play Ivysaur vs my friends I mostly try to keep my distance and charge up solarbeam constantly, and it just pisses them off so much. :P

*sees alot of talk about P:M, leaves*

Thanks for the pointless, dismissive comment which created zero valuable discussion.

So, what's everyone think we're getting at Comicon?
Newcomer, Veteran, FUCKING NOTHING?

Guys, we just got two newcomers a while ago. Calm down.

Game is 6 weeks from release in Japan.
Rapid fire is approaching.
Actully I checked the website of jp Smash and they're acutlly getting the game on my Birthday.
 
So does anyone think Smash 4 will have an actual intro/opening again? Brawl's was awful, they just stuck together a bunch of random SSE clips and put the main theme over it without any opening-exclusive scenes. I'm optimistic they'll return to a 64/Melee style opening for this game, since there are no SSE cutscenes to lazily draw from this time.

It's likely they'll use trailer clips and mash them together with gameplay clips, so yeah its going to be brawl all over again.
 
^They might just take clips from the trailers this time and splice them together instead.

While I think the Melee intro was put together better, I still liked the Brawl intro and genuinely dont believe I'll actually give a @#$^ once the game drops. How much time did people really spend watching the intro.....especially compared to how much time they spent actually playing. An intro is way more often than not just a nice extra that doesnt change the main content of the game. If it's awesome I'll watch it more than once, if it sucks I'll just end up spending that much more time actually playing the game.

We're talking about Pink Gold Peach, right?

When Peach gets to be golden in the Golden Plains she freakin' better be pink gold.

Hey, if they cut it together in a cool manner, I'm down.

Crap I didn't think of this. You're probably right. At least these trailers are a heck of a lot better than the SSE cutscenes from Brawl.
 
I seriously think we might get fucking nothing at SDCC, but who knows?
If Sakurai tweets or comments about it we'll know.

Considering the 3DS is at the forefront with it coming out, we could even get a small presentation on a few of the modes we saw earlier, like the hockey puck thing, the multi-team battle bojangles, all that jazz. I'm not expecting much, but "a few secrets" of whatever makes it seem like we'll get something maybe.

Some 3DS exclusive content/Smash Run info sounds more realistic.
 
Just remember that we had no reveal the last time Nintendo hosted a tourney.
 
Just have the winner fight Sakurai and/or Reggie and we should be good.
 
---More new footage---

Awww man, that Donkey Kong crowd chant is awesome! Maybe I just haven't heard it before since I haven't really been paying attention to videos of Smash 4, but I can't believe it took them this long to use the DK rap as the base for his crowd chant.
 
Pit sounding good, but kinda whiny.
Still better than SSBB Pit

His whininess is what makes him funny though.
Most of KI:U's humor is just Pit's dreams being crushed over and over and people laughing at him for it

Did you ever hear Pit's Japanese voice when doing side-B? Holy crap is it annoying. He says Hayayayayayayayayayaya on loop for as long as you keep doing the damn move. It never stops ;_;
 
and japanese fans still get to enjoy JP Pit while western fans get to enjoy top tier Antony Del Rio english Pit
 
I hope you guys are ready for the new Wolf VA


Also, some more custom moves found in the 3DS demo (though someone said a Nintendo employee said the directions for all of them are wrong due to a glitch)

That would explain it. I mean, why put a variation of Fox's Blaster in the Up Special slot?

I really thought hard on how these would work before I learned they were glitched

  • Charge Blaster (Up) would have Fox shooting the ground to propel himself up
  • Giant Blow (Up) was a one hit huge spin similar to DK's normal special that was less for flight and more for damage
  • Heavy Egg Roll (Down) was a ground pound in egg form.
  • Melee Charge shot (Up) is similar to Fox's but with Samus shooting a charge shoot to the ground propelling her up
  • Hammer Bash (Down) was Kirby's Down-Attack with the hammer in Kirby games where he spins on it
 
"Pic of the day. Robin's Nosferatu is the first ability in the Smash Bros. series that recovers your damage as it gives damage to others. The attack becomes even stronger if you strike from behind! Robin doesn't actually use this ability in the original game, but we added that element to make the character unique. Who knows--the ideas we use in this game may contribute to the original series."

I like how he referenced the tendencies of things that happen in Smash Bros. to be ported to their home series.
 
Maybe after Smash 4 they'll finally straighten out Bowser's posture in Mario games, he always just hunched over and made generic Godzilla growls, not like Smash where he was large and in charge with that super evil chuckle-
waitaminute
:PUN:
 
Robin doesn't actually use this ability in the original game

Then explain why my Robin, a Sorcerer, can?

Sakurai knows NOTHING about video games, why the fuck is he making one that references them all?

Someone put someone who knows video games in charge of this one. Like Akira Toriyama.
 
so what I got out of this update is

Weegee Zone COULD have become canon, if they had just given it a chance

but alas
