Topic: Super Smash Bros. for WiiU (& 3DS)

Snake can go **** himself, Megaman's the real deal.

Ehh, Snake fit surprisingly well. He was an awesome character in Brawl. Other characters deserved a roster spot more, but I was pleased with Snake's inclusion. I hope he's in the new one.

I'm totally digging Wii Fit Trainer. She's exactly the kind of character that should be in a Smash Bros. game because Wii Fit is such an important gam... software for Nintendo. This is what Smash Bros. is about. I hope some of the Find Mii enemies show up in the game somewhere.

[Soren]

Sakurai totally sold me on Wii Fit Trainer...damn.

[Ian Sane]

Wii Fit Trainer is no less silly than Mr. Game & Watch.  My only objection to her is that she comes from the Wii Series, which I would conveniently like to pretend doesn't exist when playing a celebration of Nintendo's history.  But they've had Yoshi's Story **** since the first game and had the DK Rap in Melee.  You have to take the good and the bad.

[Adrock]

The DK Rap is glorious. You shut your whore mouth.

[Shorty McNostril]

Is there anything new in this game besides a few new characters?

[Seacor]

There is already a Smash Bros Wii U thread.  Can a forum moderator please "merge" these 2 topics?

Bah. That thread has had its day in the sun. If people still had things to discuss in it, it wouldn't have become inactive. New thread for new conversations. Welcome to the new NWR.

[Adrock]

I know it was probably just a throwaway cutscene for the trailer, but the part where the Animal Crossing Villager gets a Smash Bros. invite could have plot implications. Maybe the characters are actually from their respective worlds now and not just trophies that fight. I want a whimsical, lighthearted story, goddammit! ****.

[stevey]

The best news so far is that they finally fixed Bowser from being too slow and unplayable. And it only took 3 games to do him right.

Ehh, Snake fit surprisingly well. He was an awesome character in Brawl. Other characters deserved a roster spot more, but I was pleased with Snake's inclusion. I hope he's in the new one.

Oh I still think Snake should stay in the games because he's a great character with a unique moveset.  My comment was more about how this reveal is better then Brawl's since Mega Man is a much more important character to me then Snake and so this trailer was better then Brawls because Mega Man > Snake.

Seriously, we know have Mario, Sonic and Mega Man together in a game.  That's basically the holy trinity of classic gaming for me right there.

[Adrock]

The trailer for the new games was better than Brawl's by default for more gameplay footage. We all know what Smash Bros. is about, but it's still nice to see how far along the game is.

Mega Man has me far more excited than I was for Snake (I was way more excited to see Pit and Wario) even though I actually like the Metal Gear Solid series more than Mega Man.

[Mop it up]

Soooo... Any chance we'll get Bomberman? Along with Mega Man, Bomberman is the other third-party character who has a good history on Nintendo platforms.

[Luigi Dude]

Soooo... Any chance we'll get Bomberman? Along with Mega Man, Bomberman is the other third-party character who has a good history on Nintendo platforms.

Depends on if Sakurai wants him or not.  He's more then likely the one who went after him because I doubt Capcom cared.  Well right now Konami already gutted and murdered Hudson, and has shown no interest in any of their IP's including Bomberman.  I'd imagine if Sakurai wanted Bomberman they'd allow it, but that will depend on if he wants him.  Maybe if enough fans wordwide demand him he could get in like Sonic did for Brawl, but that could be hard considering Bomberman popularity isn't anywhere close to that high.

But I never thought Mega Man would get in because the classic series hasn't been popular for a long time but he did.  So maybe Bomberman could have a decent chance.  Of course if this game is only going to have two third party characters like Brawl did, the second third party is more then likely Pac-Man because of Namco's involvement.

[Spak-Spang]

Wow, Nintendo should just buy all of Hudson's IPs if they were just thrown aside.  I would love Nintendo to get those IPs and the rights to make new versions.

[EasyCure]

Regarding MegaMan's vast array of moves, I personally believe everything shown was a combination of moves; specials, smash, and regular attacks. For example Hard Knuckle looks like a nice arial smash, such as Ness' Down-A. The flame attack looks like a ground-based down-a smash (like Samus' but covers both sides).

Since Smash Balls appear to be back, I wonder what MM's would be.. shouldn't be another super charged shot (ala Samus) so I was thinking.. Rush Power Adaptor? Am I the only one that played MM6 and 7?? I feel like a rush/beat/auto super combo is too played out.

Also, if Rush Coil is his recovery up-B move, how would that work in mid-air? Perhaps Rush Coil is an item or assist trophy..

So many questions!

[Adrock]

Ha, I'm glad I made it in your sig.

No idea what Mega Man's Final Smash could be. Rush Coil probably works like Sonic's Up Special where the spring just appears. I wonder if Bad Box Art Mega Man will made an appearance.

I just realized there's a pretty good chance that Nintendo is culling interest in DLC characters from the Super Smash Bros. Miiverse Community.

[Caterkiller]

So like Shaymin mentioned in the wrong thread the next characters said to appear tomorrow are Mii(yuck), Pacman(hey cool), and Little Mac(YABADABADOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

This came from a guy who posted on Neo Gaf on the 9th. He said "his unlikely prediction" would be, Animal Crosser, Mega Man, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Pacman, and Mii.

That is just too specific! Especially with the boxing ring already revealed I think we can expect these new characters tomorrow.

That's 6 brand new series representatives! Brawl had like what? 6 as well if you count Wario and that was only after you had the game and unlocked everything. These 6 are all initial reveal new comers! That is nuts! As much as I used to hate Mii's before Miiverse and don't want them as a character now, I could see Sakurai doing some awesome stuff with them. I trust the man.

I expect 6 to 9 more new characters from existing franchises after these first 6. Mewtwo and Dixie will be in that 6 to 9 so count on it. As for Ridley I honestly think his chances have increased greatly. Sakurai hinted in 08 that basically he never once thought of Ridley playable saying he would be "impossible" and then following it up with "well if we really worked at it we could probably do it." I know that sounds more negative than positive but after going back on his word concerning the animal crossing series, it's open season for everyone now.

The Animal Crosser wasn't considered because the series didn't lend it's self well to a fighting game. Sakurai's paraphrazed words not mine. With the complete turn around and the inclusion of the super nonviolent Wii Fit Trainer, Sakurai's ideals about what constitutes as a playable character have been flipped. I think this bodes well for Ridley supporters like me.

I mean Ridley is often seen as a character who just couldn't be done right? There is more controversy over him than any other potential newcomer. He might be seen as more of a WTF character then WFT. I think Sakurai is going to capitalize on this especially since back in Brawl he really wanted more Metroid representation but had to resort to a 2nd Samus.

[Adrock]

I like Ridley. He's probably my favorite Nintendo villain. I'd still rather see Dark Samus.

Two years ago, when Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U was announced, there was talk from Iwata and Sakurai about how the games would connect to each other. The 3DS would be a more "individual" experience where players build up a character then bring it to Wii U. If they stick to that, Mii is an easy choice and it could have storyline implications. Iwata mentioned that focusing on raising character levels would make the game lose its instant play quality, but I think it can work in a single player story mode. Having that built-up Mii in regular multiplayer matches would risk severely unbalancing the game so there could be a Mii with static stats for regular matches and a different mode for a personalized Mii.

I don't know if I would use Mii as one of my main choices, but I think it should definitely be in the game. No Nintendo character should be off limits. That's not in the spirit of the series. All those Special Streetpass Miis could show up in the game as enemies. Then, haters nationwide would be able to live their dream of punching/blowing up Reggie and Iwata.

[MagicCow64]

Blag, I was really hoping the Wii Fit Trainer took the Mii bullet this go round. But I guess it was never realistic to expect Miis to NOT be in this game.

[Adrock]

Sakurai Officially Confirms No More Tripping

I'll post a celebratory gif when I get home from work.

[TJ Spyke]

Meh, the whiners didn't like it but tripping was never a big problem.

[Adrock]

You're literally the only one who didn't mind it. Good for you, but for the rest of us, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

[ThePerm]

I wanted to play as Mii's in the last game. They should throw bowling balls for sure. Not having Pacman would be a totally missed oppertunity given namco is developing the title. However.....Namco opens up a ton of possibilities.

Still. If they are going to have Megaman...might as well throw in some Capcom characters.....

[Adrock]

Celebration gif as promised. Yes, it had to be Liz Lemon.

[EasyCure]

@ad rock: glad you pointed it out. I felt bad when I realized I didn't quote the poster of such an awesome joke but by the time I updated my Sig I forgot which thread I was in. Damn you tabbed browsing!!

As for Rush Coil, I guess you're right but I feel like that would ruin how perfect everything else we've seen about the character is. From his signature jump to his death 'solo soon, to make Rush Coil work in midair just seems so.. Off.

I'm still hoping his final smash is Rush Adapter themed. I feel like not enough people have played 6 and 7 so it would be the perfect little obscure reference that Smash is known for.

Yesterday i thought of how cool it would be if his final smash was turning into X and unleashing hell with multiple charged shots or even a nova strike.. Then it just made me drool at the thought of how cool a separate X character would be.. ****, let that be one of megas skins or even a clone! If they can do fox falcon AND wolf, why not at least an X clone (because, you know, also including Zero would cause the world to implode).

I need to stop getting my hopes up..

@catterkiller: I kept wondering why they were in a boxing ring.. Biggest DUHHhhh moment I've ever had lol. Thanks.
