Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

Has anyone bothered to hypothesize what the ridley stage boss will actually do? Clearly, he'll attack people, but what's the benefit to defeating him, other than having the attacks stop?

Well, we still don't know a whole lot about stage boss hazards.

Yellow Devil basically turned into the Bomb from Star Fox. It's possible all bosses will simply detonate in this manner. Hopefully some of them have fancy death animations, and I wouldn't even mind if they turn out to be large versions of existing items.

For instance, I would like to see Ridley fly up into the air after taking X damage, only to come crashing back down onto a 1/3rd of the map. Sort of like an oversized warpstar.

That's pretty good.

That said: I don't see him exploding, so I don't know what he'll do. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out something that would benefit 1 player and harm the other 3.

Whoever hits him last doesn't turn into a sniveling, frightened, baby version of themselves when he roars.

man I forgot all about that stupid theory
 
Perhaps once he is defeated he flies from the background to the foreground to exit, ala Super Metroid, but when he passes the fight he grabs one of the fighters to insta-KO them. The fighter he chooses would be whoever is winning, excluding whoever got the final blow on Ridley. Or, alternately, whoever did the least amount of damage to Ridley when he was out.

Ganondorf will be next, with a completely new moveset.

I think almost everyone in the world wants this, but I'm still not counting on it :/ SURPRISE ME SAKURAI.

It'll probably be a retweak. Smash 4 Bowser at worst (as in, mainly cosmetic changes), Smash 4 ZSS at best (One special and a few normals changed).

From the 30 characters he's shown so far none of them have been a clone. Maybe this time around he wants to limit the number clones so Ganondorf will probably get a new moveset.

So I think that due to the Ike hype we're missing something... easy... to see.

Remember the Cap. Falcon madness?
Don't you think they could use Ike "base" to create the character?
Since they did something similar with Snake in Brawl right?

We can ALL HOPE, but, also, clones have typically been 'unlockables'.

What? What madness?
Ike BASE? Like, clone Ike into someone else?
What did they do with snake?

What did they do with Snake? His moveset was totally unique.

My 56 character roster. At this point I don't think 56 is crazy at all. Didn't have the Rhythm boys though so I just slapped in the Wrestler to represent Rhythm Heaven.


I can't imagine anyone being upset with that.

I only imagined Snake being cut only because I just don't know how Sakurai and Kojima are jiving right now. I see Mewtwo coming back and Roy as a big possibility as well. Also not that there are any true patterns but again I think we are due for 2 Retro characters, one of which could be our seemingly obscure WTF character. That goes to Sukapon despite Sakurai thinking he was too obscure in the Melee days.

With Donkey Kong back in full swing and pulling in great numbers for Retro, 2 characters for it's franchise is plausible. It will be like getting Marth and Roy in Melee or MetaKnight and Dedede Brawl.

16 Brand new move sets compared to Brawls 17 or 18(depending on how you look at it).
 
Is Anna a pick everybody aches just because she's finally playable in Awakening? What about Lyn if she wasn't confirmed back as an Assist?
Awakening is the only FE I've played but I think a lot of people want her not only because she became playable in that game and was given a fighting style and stuff but also because she appeared in a majority of the past Fire Emblem games (albeit as a guide or shop owner).

I think it's also because she's female and has red hair as opposed to another blue haired Lord. She's also got potential for a moveset since she instead wields a sword backwards and can also heal others. I think one of her upgrades allows her to wield bows also. And just overall she has a visible role in the game and has a lot of charm. But that's just me, I'll be happy with whatever they decide to throw in.

For all we know these two Lords may be the only two we get. A magic user would be really cool though. I can imagine their attacks would look awesome.

No I mean his 3D model, it looked like they were really the same just different skin and playstyle which I guess makes the transition to another character more easy.

so maybe Cap. Falcon will play like usual but he will have a "body" type similar to Ike,
you get what I mean?
It's kind of a smart way to cut down costs I guess from a programmer perspective.

Yes, you're right but their 3D models were almost the same, just different skin and moveset :)

Huh... Toon Link? He still seems to mostly share a moveset with Link.

Ganondorf's model in Melee had the same proportions as Captain Falcon's, but the model itself was different, just compare their trophies. In Brawl, even their proportions aren't the same.

I'd argue that Anna is a more important character to the series, even before she was playable. If we were going to grab a lord from FE7, it should be the best one, Hector.

Your in for a treat then. Fair warning tho the game is hard even at normal mode. It's actually the hardest one released outside of japan

Awakening from what I've heard is Fire Emblem for casuals (Even on classic mode) so I had a feeling RD will be much harder and require a lot more thought lol

I don't really know what you mean, lol. They probably had the same skeleton but so do all the humanoid characters really.

er....Shadow Dragon H5 and Awakening Lunatic+ is some top level bullshit
but yes for your normal modes, Radiant Dawn's is the hardest, though this isn't really fair because it's actually Japanese Hard Mode (also International Hard Mode=Japanese Maniac Mode)

Ike's poses give me Guts/Berserk vibes

This isn't the first character to give off manga/anime vibes, right? Tons of jojo stuff in zelda/little mac. Anything else anyone spot? I only watch/read One Piece, so I wouldn't be able to pick up anything else.

Beating Ridley or any boss turns them into a massive explosion attack for the person who landed the final hit

All boss hazards being the same is a little lame. I hope sakurai is above that.

That's what I was trying to say, almost the same skeleton.
I remember reading in the brawl skins and mods forums quite some time ago that they were "almost" the same which was easier to implement in the game.

Kind of weird since I don't remember very well, but we can only wait then to E3 and see who else pops up

Ike's poses give me Guts/Berserk vibes

He needs a black alt and I'm happy lol
 
It is kind of funny how everyone was expecting Toon Link to be significantly changed but he seems to be one of the least altered characters moveset wise so far.

I still have hope they give him a new Final Smash.

I still have hope that most veterans have new final smashes. I really want them all the be pulled directly from their own games, and not made up to be similar to some street fighter super move.

Ike's section of the game is the easiest while the new guys (the Dawn Brigade) have the hardest ones, some balance that game has

Awakening is for casuals even on hard.

Radiant Dawn also has more chapter objectives then "defeat all enemies". Theirs certain parts where you can get screwed over easily. It's awesome

Tip: Offense is your friend and Haar :)

FTFY
