Shhh DDB...


I'm just saying that I don't really care for Ice Climbers...


I actpted the fact that there's no Ice Climbers...


Even If I never had the chance to make Kenshiro and Squigly fight alongside each other against Professor Oak and Rev from Vinesauce, I still would have never cared for them....


Yes you guys can crucify me for saying this...
 
I'm not the kind of guy to accept defeat.
 
DDB will always be in the "Denial" stage of grief.
 
It's what the second D stands for.

So a new leak came from the "Tower of Smash" guy, with a stage list, which basically makes it seem like the Wii U version will be the best thing ever.

And that's why it's not true, lol.
 
That and it's STILL missing the Ice Climbers.
 
And the Ridley wing thing just sounds goofy.
and every list with Mewtwo, Ridley, and Dixie is instantly fake anyway.

Haha... of course, the only option that cannot be used at the moment magically unlocks Ridley, Chorus Men, Mewtwo and Dixie. And random Impa. That's not even fake, that’s super-fake.

I think the real nail in the coffin is the return of unique break the target stages. Fuck new characters, that's even better, it's just too good to be true. And a Bowser's Castle stage? You mean the stage people have been asking for since Smash 64? I refuse to believe Sakurai would actually listen to fans, that's completely absurd!

I'm not even sure how much of that was sarcastic, I just want it to be true so badly yet I know it's not. :(
 
Also implying that Sakurai wouldn't use it as an excuse to throw MORE KIUprising shit in the game. I LIKE KIU, it's just it's WAY over-repped.
 
That’s why you know its fake: It's everything you wish for, and also the last possible chance to get it.

If Lab 0 would announce that they would release Annie in two weeks DDB would be the first one to call fake. Because he knows.

Nope.
Nope.
Noooooope, never.

Sweet Jesus's Pointy Nips I need this stage

I doubt any of you have played Endless Ocean or EO2 (my favorite Wii game of all time besides Brawl) but like, imagine a stage where there's A GIANT SQUID AND A SPERM WHALE FIGHTING and then a MUTATED GOBLIN SHARK ATTACKS AND SHIT AND HOLY CRAP I LOVE THESE GAMES

If you see EO2 for cheap or used or have a hacked Wii, play it. It's actually such an amazing game. YOU CAN TAZER SHARKS.

I hope that "nope" is "never going to happen" and not "a bad idea" type nope.

Cause son I will cut you

Now that I think about it, the real most ridiculous thing from that leak is every franchise having at least 1 stage. You know, the thing that should be a standard yet has never actually happened in a Smash Game. Even ROB and Duck Hunt have stages!
 
i think Duck Hunt will get a stage on wii u tbh

not having one on the 3DS made me suspicious
 
About the ice climbers thing.

It's sad and a tad frustrating, but if the game can't run decently with the most stressing situation possible, the situation must be addressed.

Sure, 4 ice climbers in the nintendogs stage should be extremely rare, but what if it actually happened once? what if in the tests the framerate dropped to 15 or 20 fps IN A FIGHTING GAME

I can understand the character being axed from the 3ds edition, and since they want both versions to have the same roster, it was a painful, but honest decision

There's just one thing.

There's still been a number of times where the game lags regardless of who's on screen.

Yeah...

But It's better to have it be some of the times instead of all of the time
 
I'd believe it's better with 52 characters instead of 51.
 
so, I played the demo for the first time and I gotta say,

Link is really good in Smash 4. I really like it.
 
Really good or really good for Link? These are entirely different things

Honestly I think Link is one of the best characters in the demo, if not the best.
He's certainly the easiest to use.
 
Having Town & City and Smashville in the same game is the most redundant shit ever.

But that'll give the ultra-competitive community two stages to play on! That's like, half of what Melee has!

But yeah, kinda redundant, especially considering both's FD version will be the exact same basically. The backgrounds are nigh identical.

Take yer pick kiddo, 480p Animal Crossing stage or HD Animal Crossing stage.
 
Clearly you haven't played Mario or Villager.

I've been playing on all random for the entire time I've had the beta, I've played every character and I really think Link is one of the best.
Villager's good, but his side smash range and grab startup are abysmal, his pocket thing takes some very precise timing with actual enemy projectiles and in battle royale matches it's very hard to focus on when an opponent's tossing out a projectile while also making sure no one's attacking you while you're focussed on positioning and timing, and he's so light that his ZOMG godliek recovery isn't that impactful on gameplay.
And Mario doesn't have all that good launching power outside of his side smash, which also has poor range compared to Link's.

He can combo into his up B from a throw though?
dthrow > utilt a ton > uair > uair > up b
Honestly though debating tier lists at this point is the stupidest shit. I see tons of potential in villager. If his down B doesn't have ridiculous exploits to go with it in the next couple years I will be very surprised.

So, just because people are saying it's too early to make a tier list because "lol demoo" and "5 characters, lel", I'm going to make one anyways.

Amazing Tier:
Villager
Mario

Good Tier:
Megaman

Eh Tier:
Pikachu (Only thing he has going for him is Thunder spawning on frame 1 much like Snake's Grenades)

Link Tier:
Link (Face it... it's link...)

Link got a LOT of improvements but honestly he's still utter garbage. Though his bombs explode sooner though, and off stage has a LOT more room so using the bomb explosion technique to recover your upb is waaaay more useful. Villager is absolutely amazing imo. He has all the tools for keepaway and mind games and grab isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. All the throws are potent and kill at around 150% anyways. I gotta give it to Mario though.... They reeeeally buffed him up quite a bit. His fireballs are far more useful now that they bounce in a fixed pattern. FLUDD got a buff, combo ability greatly increased, down smash is WAY powerful now especially with the new physics (Horizontal knockback is the best kind). I suggest not trying to kill with side smash at really high percents because downsmash does it faster.
