Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments

Hmm. What are the odds Sakurai has also been helping develop Kid Icarus U?
I think Sakurai is dedicating all his time towards Smash. Especially with his condition the way it is now, I don't think he's going to juggle any more games and he's going to go on a well deserved vacation after this.
 
Does Samus' silhouette / armor proportions in this remind anyone of Chief's Halo 4-era armor?

Is that even a thing?
No, it's not.

I wish KI:U had been developed for the Wii to start with though. I don't understand how he thought, when designing that game, that the land sections were a perfect fit for the 3DS. IIRC the whole point of the project was 'make a 3DS game'. After playing S&P2, it just feels like KI:U is an excellent game limited by hardware/controls to just being a great game. Kinda like DKCR. At the same time, I don't really care about remakes because they're just remakes. <.<

So, do we have any comparisons of this Viridi with the KI:U Viridi? I'm wondering if it's a straight port or not.

But yeah Pit Codecs are a must. Chatting with Palutena/Viridi/Hades, cameos from other guys, I'd be all over it.

That 4chan rumor's gotta be BS because he said they just sent them character art with no explanation. Like it's supposed to be a guessing game of who's playable.

Way over 24 hours and no deciphered shot.

Legit it is.

Fake until proven real. Less disappointment.

I do believe there's a fairly good chance that Ike, Lucas, Wolf, Lucario, and R.O.B. will all be cut, so I left them out of this roster.

You know, I kinda sorta get the others, but I don't see why people think ROB will be cut. The idea seems to be based on ROB's apparent reception among fans, ignoring his place in Nintendo's history.

It's kinda like how people expected Other M not to be represented in this game because it wasn't received very well by fans. Look what happened there.

I don't think that rumor is legit since he told us where he work at. People would hunt him down if it's true. I put italic on characters whom would be more likely to be assist trophies.

Stating where the leaker works pretty much confirms it as fake, but if it were real I think having arts asset for only "Wonder Red" would most likely indicate Playable character rather than Asssist, since I don't see why they wouldn't just put all 7 as assist as opposed to only Wonder Red.

I think Lucario is totally safe too. Dude is still being pimped hard in X/Y and he he was in the teaser for Pokken Fighters.

The same direct that reveals Pokken Fighters
to be something completely different from what we expect
will be the one with Lucario in Smash.

Lucario's probably my least favorite Smash character though. He just feels like some random Pokemon, same as Puff or Pichu. Unlike Puff though, he hasn't been in the series since the first game. If for some strange reason they had to cut exactly one character, he would be my pick.

'Tis true. Just think of what could have been:

Le sigh.

Only concern, though: why the hell does she look so pale in Smash? Something about her makes her look zombified...
That's because she's like a "projection", a hologram in a way, that's how she appears in the game, since she is the only god who never physically appears, next to that one old guy.

Yeah, I remember a bunch of people being damn sure that Mr. G&W wasn't going to return for Brawl because he was a stupid gimmick character that no one liked, and yet he made the cut, so it seems likely that ROB will make it in to SSB4.

But he isn't just some random pokemon like jigglypuff or pichu. Lucario in Pokemon X/Y had a significant role in the game.

If ROB doesnt come back, smash is dead to me. You better come back ROB.

(I am scared, but not much)

No one likes Mr. Game & Watch? I don't want to live on this planet anymore, if true.

ROB, Falco and Mr. Game and Watch are my mains.
Not that I can play well with any of them.
two of those three are some of the most interesting characters Smash has been home to.

I don't hate him. I just don't really care about him.

Two old guys actually. Dyntos and Poseidon never actually show up.

Huh, okay. I haven't played it since release, so my recollections of the game are a bit fuzzy. Thanks, though! Hopefully she looks a little more lively in motion, at least.

Ok, can someone be gentle enough to fill me in about what's going on?
What leak? Why is Sakurai trolling? Why is everyone so crazy about that 3DS pic with Viridi?

There was a Palutena "leak" yesterday which is probably the most convincing leak so far besides the old WFT one. People think Sakurai is acknowledging it somehow with the Viridi pic.

The Palutena "leak." Some people think it's a bit fishy that after we got some moderately convincing images of her in the 3DS version that he'd show a picture of Viridi on it.

But chances are it's just a grand coincidence.

I see, thanks.
Said Palutena leak is still available?

Edit: nevermind, I found it.
It looks fake to me, I don't know why tho.

Mr. Game & Watch really is a great character. I do hope he returns.

Though, he's not as fun as I want him to be. He has a lot going for him, like extreme power in some attacks, great recovery, decent speed and surprising disjointed range, but it's pretty stressful playing him for some odd reason (even though I do consider myself a semi-decent Game & Watch player).

I've been playing most of the entire roster in Brawl lately as I have nothing better to do, so I've really got to know which characters suit me more and which characters I don't click with (no matter how much I want them to). I consider Marth, Ike, Ness, Wolf and Kirby the most fun to play.

Does anyone else feel this way towards some characters? Like any you'd love to play but you just don't have fun playing?
