Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
Yeah, pretty much.
Draw/sheathe/iaijutsu-inspired stuff in general is pretty much my most wanted mechanic to a character. I think Project M Ike has something like that, but it'd be nice for an 'official' character to own something like that.
Like Lyn. ;_;

One of the things I didn't like about Melee's artstyle was that "rubbery" look a lot of things had.
I especially hated how Yoshi looked.
Amusingly enough, I was talking to a friend earlier about just how much I preferred Yoshi's look in Melee. In general I like Melee's look a lot better than Brawl's, although Smash 4 is looking to be my favorite.

Has that petition for putting Reggie in SSB4 reach its goal yet?
Agreed; Falco's art style change actually worked well for him, since he never looked much like a real pheasant in the first place.
There were aspects of it I could appreciate, like the bone-like details in the spinal plates, but at the end of the day, he's better off now than he was in Melee and Brawl.
Amazing how hideous Melee Pikachu was.
HOLY SHIT, small differences that add up to a much better design, agreed. Smash 4 Pikachu is BEST Pikachu.
6 out of 39 (disregarding Roy) is a lot though (15%), I'm all for characters like Takamaru, who should be rightfully portrayed as a samurai; Ganondorf as a swordsman though would be a waste, there's already plenty of characters more fit for the swordsman trope.
I feel like you could easily take a "heavy magic character," lump him in with all the laser projectile characters from the Smash games, and say we have a metric fuckton of that type too.
And I'm still not sure we have a ton of real swordsmen-types when a decent portion of them (like Pit and Metaknight) aren't really traditional in their movesets and another handful (Toon Link and Roy) are clones.

I don't think it's that bad comparing to last two OTs since they were moving pretty fast, right? I'm not sure since I felt that this thread move pretty normally.
I don't think so.

Though Sakurai may think there are too many FE characters relative to the series' popularity. Of course, one could argue that there are also too many Pokemon characters assuming Jiggly is in the game (though not on popularity).
Wow, Brawl really desaturated the colors.
That's just Pika with a Light Ball equipped.It's all about that longchu.
Star Fox 64 had levels that were huge pastiches of Gundam and Independence Day. The original was inspired by Thunderbirds. Star Wolf may be named after an old Japanese show by same studio as Ultraman. It shouldn't surprise people that it reminds them of older sci-fi.
If I recall correctly, they're tied to the same button. You throw shurikens unless you're close enough to use a sword. In Samurai Warriors he's probably mostly a swordsman.

See my post above, also we're probably getting Chrom and Shulk if the leak is true, maybe Takamaru too, so we have all the swordsman bases covered.

at the equivalent time in thread 6, we were at page 45 (on 50 ppp)
and assuming the current rate continues, this thread will be done in 20 days, same as the previous thread even with the Direct boost

Didn't takamaru primarily fight with shurikens and not his sword?
As far as I know, nope.

Systems like these are problematic because fast movement can make you get the wrong attack.

So basically, if Takamaru is confirmed I have to blame him for Saki not being playable. Thanks, Sakurai!

It's hard to say since we have few games that are based on different gameplay.

Edited: Sorry about double posts.
I know you were being sarcasm but why Takamaru?
Ah, that's interesting. I'm surprised that you didn't do poster summary like you did last thread.

Both Sin & Punishment and Nazo no Murasame Jo operate like that. You use your sword if you're close to the enemy (or projectile in the case of the former) and your projectile if you aren't. In both cases, you're mainly shooting people down.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Wolf is clearly a villain until assault where he could be considered a antihero, the whole point of wolf is to be fox's vergil, aka his equal in most areas and the opposite of fox.

Shooting from afar/slashing from near is a reductionist description of gameplay in Sin and Punishment.

I might tune in now.

I feel like hit em up close and shoot em far away is like the most basic design for any game ever

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Also when he's in the air.
It all died when the 3DS date was way sooner than expected.
See while this might be true:
When you add this bit, it's actually a lot more limited in scope considering that Link, Marth, and Ike are the only "pure" representatives of a given type of bladed combat. Furthermore, other fighting rosters manage to have a large number of sword wielders while making sure that they're all immensely unique from one another. Guilty Gear comes to mind very fast.
Mind you, I'm not arguing for Smash 4: All of The Swords Edition, but I would like it if some people could respect the potential another 3 or 4 individual bladed fighting styles could bring both in look and application versus the defined ones we have now.
Wow, Brawl really desaturated the colors.
It's one of the reasons why I'm really glad I found the Smash 3 texture mod:
The Brawl models weren't bad by themselves, but these new textures just make them a joy to play with. Can't wait for the full collection myself.
I always felt like Star Fox would have made a great test bed for a Nintendo online co-op franchise. Basically, you take the single player campaign of the 4 games, add drop in/drop out online co-op where each of the four pilots is another friend and codecs are essentially them screwing around or reacting to something on screen and go from there. You could take it further with multiplayer modes involving different 4 person clans claiming a flag like StarFox or StarWolf and going at it in dogfights, maybe a ROB4 mode where one person's in charge of the Great Fox and the 4 folks have to defend it, and other such things. The main game should always try to retain that arcade like rail shooter pacing but just expand in size to accomodate longer playing times and content sensitive players. Maybe they could make each one of the maps multiple chapters long and give options to tackle them with one of the other means of progression like the tank, sub or on foot (as long as you handle them with more care than in the past they could work).
But I'm just rambling some ideas out.
It's going to be really interesting to see which direction they take Shulk in. Chrom however just feels like another "compulsory main character we have to use because he's newer" who'd only serve to replace one style (Ike's) with a similar one without the impact.
His nose got smaller, his muzzle crunched together into what looks now more like an allergic reaction to a bee sting, while his skull got taller.
In other words, Fox looks like Sakurai now.

Sorry for a probably redundant question, but I've been following this thread more sporadically than usual the last few weeks. So, what is this leak and why are people thinking it's plausible?
The person who "leaked" Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, and Mega Man prior to last year's E3 is now saying Palutena, Chrom, Shulk, and Chorus Men (Rhythm Heaven) will be playable.
I've been watching most of the day. There was some really hilarious stuff with M2K essentially holding a Items If You Like/Low Tier Only/Any Stage You Like set with some guys passing by. Onett is clearly counterpick tier. :lol

People just stopped talking about it because we got overloaded with information from Smash Direct.
Well, it came from same leaker that leaked Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Mega Man, Mii, Pac Man and Villager.

Anonymous guy sent a mail to Sal Romano (Gematsu) before last E3 with a list of newcomers: Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, Mega Man, Little Mac, Mii, Pacman.
He sent a new list before the last direct: Chrom, Palutena, Shulk, Chorus Kid, Pokémon from X/Y.

I'm expecting 0, but 1 or 2 more at the most. 12 newcomers is a reasonable amount, especially with how some veterans are basically newcomers at this point.

I want to say, including Rosalina, maybe 4-5?

That's it for newcomer roster. Yep, that's how low my expectation is.
