Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 6: Final Destination confirmed for not fun

My buddy's been complaining about the idea of Mii in Smash. I don't think it's so bad, unless you have an irrational hatred of Miis. They've done a lot of things by now and can easy come up with moves that are genuinely cool.

They've used bows, spears, and swords. They've used a variety of magic spells and weird guns. They've piloted spaceships to blast away space pirates. They've done kung fu while wearing Pikmin suits. Oh, and there's Wii Sports too.

I hope their final smash turns the arena into a dream from Tomodachi Life. Weird shit just starts happening, like a giant Mii appears in the background and punches at the screen, lol.

I feel that their artstyle clashes with pretty much everything except for plastic. Also, they have no "character". That's by design because they're both customizable and focus-tested to be as inoffensive as possible.

I also don't care to see another player's Mii in a game. Breaks any semblance of a coherent universe, even one as wacky as Smash. "Oh, there's Mario fighting Charizard... and there's Bill. Hi, Bill."

I don't think it's a big deal if they make it, but my preference is for their exclusion.

I think an "actual" Direct for April would be nice, even if we might not get any Smash news (tho I hope we would). There's 2 more months between now and E3. I'd enjoy if they put out some smaller news/release dates for games we know are coming in that Direct.

Also, if they're going to show Zelda Wii U at E3
and maybe a teaser or trailer for a new Metroid, pls Nintendo
, I imagine a Zelda-related newcomer or something
like a Ridley reveal
to happen there.

I almost think a Direct for April is necessary, because if E3 is when Ninty stands to unleash details for their big guns like Zelda U, Smash 4, X and etc., what place is left for "smaller" games, like Zelda Musou/Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2, which stand to come out in Japan (at least) some time this Summer?

Better to let these games have their day earlier on, then have them completed overshadowed.

that dk up with no knockback looks goofy as hell lol



Also, I'm done exams. Praise Sakurai. As a result, GIF OF THE DAY will be making a return.

However, I'm making some changes because I think it'll be better this way.

-GIF OF THE DAY will no longer be daily. Because...

-GIF OF THE DAY will only happen on days where I deem Sakurai has given us FUCKING NOTHING. The reason being pretty simple: I'll post a gif on a slow day, and people talk about it. I post a gif on a day where, say, Rosalina gets announced, and no one is really paying attention to the gif. Which is fine :p

Basically the point of GIF OF THE DAY was to create excitement when the thread got slow. Instead of wasting gifs/cool moments on days where everyone is occupied with new stuff/announcements, I'll just post them on slow days.

tl;dr: sometimes sakurai actually announces shit. I won't be posting a gif on those days.

That means every Saturday and Sunday is a GIF day, it's got my guarantee.

THIS THREAD HAS BEEN SEVERELY LACKING IN KNEES

So the first GAF tourney... custom moves are banned, right?

Yes, I'm discussing rules before the game is out. We're all just waiting anyway!

Well, Did Sakurai said that we could report them? I saw the list but I'm not sure if taunt parties are on the list?

Oooh yeah. I forgot about the reporting thing. Haha. Taunt Parties are basically on the list.

UR 2 SLO UR 2 SLO UR 2 SLO UR 2 SLO!!!!

No. NOOOOOO!!

I never experienced a taunt party.

Custom Moves are for local only. (so they can't be used for online mode)

Thought it was online as well, with friends.
 
I'm going to miss taunt parties because now matches won't turn from free-for-all to 3v1. I remember joining and waiting until sudden death to kill taunters, it was great.

I'm just glad I can get one on one matches in For Glory. That's all I really wanted out of Brawl.

Also Palutena's Temple is one of the better stages, up there with Mario Galaxy and Wily Castle imo.

DK's Up Special is now slanted when used on the ground. GIF is slowed down when it hits Mega Man.

Ah, I remember they showed DK's up special in the first trailer last year. I really hope that attack doesn't end up like that at all. At least make the last hit have some sort of knockback!

So Gamexplain just posted a size comparison of Palutena's Temple against Hyrule Temple and New Pork City. And holy crap, PT is huge! I have a feeling it's going to be a pain online

I freaking love this stage. What it looks like it'll do as a big stage is that each section will kinda be like its own "mini-stage". Kinda like in Hyrule Temple how the main places to fight people would be the cave, the top right, and the top area. Each area is more distinguished with their own small layout and architecture. This is truly Hyrule Temple 2.0 that New Pork City failed at doing.

Oh really? someone told me that it was local only; since Nintendo Direct don't really provided subtitles so I probably missed that out.

I always win against taunters because most of time they are terrible players.

Pikachu Shapeshifts!

While this was a thing in previous games as well, it would only take place in the beginning of it (and the beginning of the second part). Pikachu now no longer leaves a trail, but is instead super skinny when moving.

--------------------------------------
The best way to deal with taunt parties is to do one match and eventually get to the end. Then on the next match, choose one of the characters the other people used and choose the same alt color. Then attack only the person who has the same character as you. That will confuse the others and then they will actually fight lol.

Ok what's with Mega Man not flinching in that gif Daboss posted? Donkey Kong doesn't have much going for him as far as flash and spectacle, so this move better do all it can.

Been beat by now, but they specifically said "online with strangers," just to add to the confirmation.

Online with strangers? Please elaborate more on that? Like Random matches? I thought people were clarifying that it's online mode with friends only or what?
 
Maybe there is some new mechanic in the game that gives you an iron stance for a few seconds? For most of the attack the player just stands there and takes it so maybe it's a bug?

Sakurai specifically said you cannot use custom movesets in For Fun or For Glory, but those are matchmaking playlists for playing with strangers, you can still do custom matches with friends online and the wording makes it sound like you can use custom moves in custom matches.
EDIT: Just watched it again and he outright says you can use them online with friends.

Ah but see I am a terrible player, especially against 3 players ganging up on me.

In any case, winning that way still seemed to piss them off. I'm pretty sure if the Wii had a messaging service, my inbox would be full of death threats and such. It's a shame really, I always kinda enjoy getting those from playing video games.

I posted it above, but since some people use "View First Unread", posting it again. This is a GIF from the initial trailer that J@hranimo said had DK's Up Special as well.
ibsAO2cbnyshyt.gif

Of course, this is old and that is new. We even see Link's old dash attack being used here.
Ignoring DK for now, another thing that caught my attention here is that Mario was able to air-dodge rather quickly after getting hit here.
That was a low knockback attack. Mario was at a low percentage in damage.
