Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 14: Snake... had a hard life

Not open for further replies.
I still can't believe Shulk's officially been revealed. Still feels like it's just the realms of leaks and/or fantasy... but nope, if I ever need a quick pinch, he's right there, top of the front page.

I'm curious, is anyone not getting the 3DS version at launch?
I might not.
Already paid off both versions, so I might as well just pick 'em up on day one. Wouldn't be financially advisable to do otherwise, and possibly forfeit my money.

So no Shulk (internet tumblr etc) fanart in his reveal?
I'm sad now smashGAF we had some awesome fan art for everyone else ):
I've been keeping an eye on recent submissions to Tumblr with the "Shulk" tag (note: not all of it's SFW, or even SFL), and so far most of it's just text reactions, clips from the reveal trailer or screens from the site. Still, you do occasionally get something:

Wait, what was this about?

This.


There was some fair criticism/discussion throughout and it wasn't the worst competitive/casual argument we've seen but it was far outweighed by some dumb shit. At least it gave us this fun quote:

There's a giant Smash thread right over there where they circlejerk about nothing in particular and hold hands and sing songs about their favorite characters. I think both threads can work just fine

Don't Forget Dr.Kawashira got confirmed as AT.

Kawashima, but thanks! Also, the Pokeball Pokémon showed off in Famitsu (such as Zoroark) are on the site as well.

You saw the soundtrack announcement as well, right?
 
I stand there next to you, praying for his return every night. I'm still sour about that Greninja bait and switch. >_>
I'm starting to feel like I was the only person on the planet who didn't think it was mewtwo. I'm still confuzzled that people were screaming "OMG MEWTWO" as water formed in the hands. I guess maybe not many people noticed/felt it looked watery or something? The fact it was kinda being done from the darkness too made my mind jump to Greninja first as well :eek:

I still didn't think Shulk was that out there of a choice back in 2012 (I think he's even in my prediction roster where I stupidly swapped Pac-Man out at the last minute for Bayonetta), but I'm glad he's in all the way.

Also glad everybody still has their British voices, if only for how it sets Shulk apart from the localised FE and KI cast.

Uhh...this is a strange leap of logic...yet i can't it's accuracy lol.
 
Just gotta reiterate, best DLC

Lucas
Wolf
Popo/Nana or Ice Climbers
Rhythm Heaven character
Isabelle
Paper Mario
Dixie Kong
Mewtwo
Ridley
Punch-Out!! character
Tingle
Impa
Isaac
Captain Syrup
Andy w/ Units
Sami
We already know Ridley, Isabelle, and Tingle are in the game. Is there any reason why DLC would make them playable? Don't give me the Alfonzo excuse - you can't just summon "Isabelle" as an Assist only to have some other Animal Crossing character show up in her place.
 

This.

To be fair considering how all-over-the-place the SSB4 OT's can get when we're low on news, I think a Smash OT or an OT for Project M/Melee would absolutely help qualm the dumb casual/competitive strife that comes up now and then. Besides JoeInky, Anthony and a few others, I don't think we have enough people who're well-versed enough with that scene to keep up those sort of conversations in this thread since the rest of the regulars are (more or less) apathetic about it.

Complaining about people preferring to talk about what characters get in when that's half the appeal of Smash instead of specific mechanic changes, balance or other more nice topics is something else though. May as well complain most people talking about MK8 before release were more interested in the characters and tracks that got in over item balance or whether snaking still existed or not.

While it's beyond unlikely that Sakurai would convert ATs or bosses to playable characters, remember that R.O.B. couldn't be playable because he was an enemy, Toon Link couldn't be playable because he was a background character, and Dr. Mario wouldn't be playable because he'd never make it in over Mewtwo :)v)

I mean, it's not as if when you summon Tingle, the announcer screams Tingle at the top of his voice. Sakurai literally only needs to patch the game w/ Tingle DLC to change him to Knuckle or something. Isabelle? Change her to Tom Nook. He even makes more sense to be tossing fruit about (though the not-charging-a-fee part...). Both characters aren't ATs that you interact with, you only interact with things that they spawn. Therefore, it would actually be very simple to replace their Assist Trophy functionality.

For all you people have joined my tournament! Here are the brackets!

Super Bash Sisters Bracket

Noice! I guess since it's time to give up on Bayonetta being on-disc/cart, I'm thinking I'll be ZSS. Good luck, Great Gonzales!
And probably Cloudstriff/MisterWisp.
Also, quick question: Bowser Jr. was merely a disbelieved rumor when this tournament's rules were established, but now the Koopalings are separate characters; what happens if 2 people want to be Wendy? Does one just pick
Grandma Bowser/
Roy instead?

Looking forward to fighting you all, actually!

I think I'm pretty good at smash. But I've ever really only played with my friends.....I probably suck more than I think I do .

To answer that question, since I actually thought about it before. I basically made it a rule to where only if there is two available options for a female alt, then I'll allow them to be in the tournament. :x

Shit, does this mean if Wendy is an alt for Bowser Jr, she can't be used?

Me and Puff are gonna take you down scottnak
This is the most adorable threat I've ever seen. I hope you win just for that.

Is the Bash Sisters tournament gonna be streamed anywhere or should I just stay tuned to Smashgaf when it happens.

Also, Super Buff Brothers Brawl is happening when the Wii U version releases correct.
I will not take no for an answer!

It just doesn't feel right to have named characters be replaced by other characters, even if they do act essentially the same.
The same goes for alternate costumes - I feel that alternate costumes should still stay within character. As much as I love Louie, I wouldn't want to see any non-Olimar alternate colors for Olimar.
Your DLC list was missing Doshin the Giant, so it obviously isn't "the best possible."

Yep GAF Tourney we missed out though. Bracket is done. But don't lose hope. If there enough beach wear Alts I'll make that a tournament.

I'm sure not 100% of the participants will make it.

Rather than defaulting the win, maybe people who didn't make it in originally can sub in for them?

I dunno, i'm not making the rules, but it's all in good fun, so I don't see why not.
 
I'm also at a handicap since neither of my mains are female.

Are female alts elegible (robin, villager, wendy)?

Female Robin and Villager are allowed. ^^

Super Bash Sister's Post

What is the Bash Sisters tourney? Female characters only?

A tournament I made in honor of the many playable female characters in SSB4. :D

Hey, you can still go on the Replacement List, there is bound to be dropouts. :3

No troubled bat offered a reserve list .
I suppose it wouldn't hurt to add myself to it.
