Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Miiverse Update Thread XVI

The problem with DLC characters is that All Star mode couldn't be unlocked, in theory. Though I guess you're not technically "unlocking" DLC characters. I don't know. Sakurai crazy.

So from what I could gather before the other thread was locked:

  1. The Leak was real (duh)
  2. Duck Hunt Dog has a hilarious final smash where he summons 8 bit cowboys to shoot you.
  3. Bowser Jr can be interchanged with any of the Koopa children.
  4. Wolf trophy pretty much deconfirms him. Wolf was too much of a clone but Dark Pit is fine.
  5. Ice Climbers get the shaft.
  6. Ridley is still too big.
  7. No Chorus Men.
 
Would people honestly rather have Ice Climbers that a 3DS version of Smash 4?

It's a full featured *portable* Smash in 3D!

I'd take that over just about *any* character.

Absolutely. The Wii U version is what I'm going to play 95% of the time. I could live without the 3DS version easily.
 
Just saw a Fossil Fighters Frontier trophy in the Gema stream. guessing this will be the newest game (at least for the West) featured in the game

Gema playing classic with Lucario now. She has won with grehninja, charizard and Jigglypuff. Has she completed it with Pikachu?

Well, All-Star Mode is unlocked from the beginning, no matter how many characters you have. I guess it could just be expanded upon with each DLC fighter.

Yay Fossil Fighters! That came out February in Japan, so it's pretty new. Just glad that series got represented at all; I was kinda worried.

You've got it wrong. Wolf wasn't enough of a clone to get in. Dark Pit required minimal effort.
 
So, last time I played Pokemon X, I couldn`t battle online. I think it was blocked by the Uni.

What are the odds that I would be able to play this game online?

Dude. You haven't proven this.

It is possible it is likely, but stop saying it like it is fact until it is confirmed. There are many different variables that could make this statement completely untrue.

Sure it's not confirmed, but it's clearly very unlikely that there are going to be more characters. It's even less likely we will see free DLC at the release of the Wii U version.

You don't gain anything by expecting more, you will just end up disappointed if/when there isn't anything else. Accept the roster for what it is and in the best case scenario you can be surprised if we do end up with more characters.

I'll take a full-fledged Smash Bros I can play anywhere, anytime over a character or two every single time.

Yeah but you're still missing out on other factors that weigh heavily to me, the biggest being control scheme. Pro controller or Gamecube + series regulars that I'm going to miss? I'll take my Smash in HD please, thanks.

Don't get me wrong, I'm super pumped about the 3ds version and I'll get it at midnight if possible. It's just not even a question if I had to chose one.
 
Same here! It looks almost too good. I just realized that's Dungeon Man we see popping up at the bottom of the screen. Perfection! <3

Also, the Magicant theme is a medley with Eight Melodies, but I haven't seen anyone play on the stage long enough that I got to hear the piece. :/

Ah, makes sense! I wonder how it'll compare to the Melee version?

If Sakurai gets to sign your copy at the Press Start concert, tell him us Mother fans love what the team did with that stage!

then slap him on the wrist for cutting lucas :p

I really don't see character DLC happening solely based off the issue of character balancing. I'm sure Sakurai would want full control over the result of a character, and I see him really wanting to take a break with this game being done. I see stages and alt costumes as the most likely DLC (not really needing hands-on input from Sakurai), and I would be fine with that...

You're making a lot of assumptions here.

Namely, why wouldn't Sakurai be involved and why wouldn't it have been an anticipated part of his employment?

I think pretty much everyone would rather play Smash on Wii U than on 3DS.

Why couldn't it be unlocked? You don't need to have every character in Smash 4 to play it.
Plus, DLC characters could be treated as non-essential for All-Star mode, and either wouldn't appear in it at all, or wouldn't appear in it until you bought them.
Actually, you could argue the fact that you don't need to unlock every character in order to play All-Star as a strong hint towards DLC characters being likely.

List some examples, and that doesnt make it any less gross cause Namco has done it.

Im not saying its an impossibility even, Im saying its gross if that does happen and I dont want it to.

Tekken Tag Tourny 2 had some preorder DLC stuff that was released FOR FREE later along with other "brand new" characters.

That was cool in an age of Capcom ULTRA DLC re-releases.

If Nintendo is "holding back" characters (they aren't, if there are Wii U release characters, then those characters more than likely just weren't done for the 3DS release), by the time you'd even know of their existance, the game would be out and it would be a legit surprise and nothing you'd be deprived of because you didn't even know it existed until then..

It is like complaining that people are depriving you of your Christmas gifts today.
