Subspace story was poop but the cutscenes were marvelous. I am hoping something got lost in translation and no story mode doesn't necessarily mean no FMVs.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

No, neither of them won't have a story. They will both have some sort of single player though, I'm pretty sure.

ah so just like going to stages just like N46 and Melee? something like that.

 

[Azure Dream]

Sorry, Azure Dream.

I would rather to have Massive Official Thread to keep uninformed pictures in the thread, rather than having new thread every single day over something that are not worthy to have a new thread. New Information = New thread. If it's returning items or something unworthy then they are belong in Smash Bros Massive Thread to spare moderators the headaches.

At long the daily image kept coming in, the thread is more likely to stick around for awhile until they are done with daily image.

I'm certainly not arguing for a new thread every day. Maybe a weekly picture wrap-up. But no, I agree we don't need a thread for "Fox looks surprised!" "Olimar is surprisingly large!" and whatever goofy things Sakurai poses next. But if there is big news, as it already happens, I think there should be individual threads. Overall, I don't see the point of the big OT at the second. When the game is closer to release, and actual information is coming out at an increased basis, maybe.

I can't really defend what's going on in OT4 since sometime it can be crazy with stuffs but there are good amount of information between November to January. I don't think it's community thread because it's constantly updated by daily images from the official site. Since you are getting off the topic, so please stick back to adventure mode or whatever you think of the content in the picture, and thank you.

The topic was shifted to "Why isn't this just being posted in the mega-thread?" I voiced my opinion of the mega-thread.

That's the most popular guess but all we really know is it won't be very similar to subspace emissary.

 

[KittenMaster]

I personally think the fact that it's confirmed that story will be much less emphasized in the new game and a screen shot of unfamiliar content is news thread worthy.

Ok so the 3DS version will get a sp mode but the WiiU version does not even though they are the same game?

Or do I have it backwards?

The 3DS and Wii U versions are different games, sort of. I expect they will run the same physics engine and gameplay, but have different levels to play in. So if the Wii U version does have a single player mode, it will likely have a different set of levels than the 3DS version.

There are individual threads for many information such as stages, characters, etc, but thread for daily images thread is just keep everything in control without over spamming front page with multiple smash threads. Mainly for pictures that are not important enough to have the thread to be created for. Also I would like to mention that I edited my statement to clarifying my statement but you got my old edits. I don't see any point to arguing about Mega Thread since you can chose to not follow mega thread and check front page for an updates (Image itself)

 

[Gazoinks]

Awesome. I liked Subspace Emissary, but I liked Melee's adventure mode more, and an expanded version of that has the potential to be awesome.

 

[Draconian]

Worst explanation I've ever heard.

Really? This is the same guy who put a random trip mechanic in the last game because he didn't want people to play it competitively and you're going with this as the worst explanation you've ever heard?

 

[TheCongressman1]

ah so just like going to stages just like N46 and Melee? something like that.

Probably. I hope there's a little more to it than that though. Even though SSE wasn't executed well, it wasn't a bad idea.

I just hope Sakurai isn't going to settle for the old mode without trying to evolve it.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Really? This is the same guy who put a random trip mechanic in the last game because he didn't want people to play it competitively and you're going with this as the worst explanation you've ever heard?

Don't forget about Port Mechanic. I just found out today about it and I thought it was stupid idea as well.

 

[Azure Dream]

I edited my statement to clarifying my statement but you got my old edits.

You edited it at least twice, I caught the first round, and your edits basically added "Stop it because I want you to stop." I've made my point, so I am stopping anyway, but it's not because of you attempting to order me around.

Edit: And you edited your reply AGAIN. I did not crop it down, that's all you originally said.

 

[Fiktion]

Wow, you are a piece of work.

I didn't meant to. I was trying to fix my bad english, and corrected myself on that since it came out so wrong. my apologizes.

 

[kittens]

Cool looking environment.

 

[Entryhazard]

It's a mystery to everyone.

It's a secret to everybody

yeah but was there actually any reasoning at all given behind these two

obviously aside from the generic "blah blah everyone's a winner don't want competitive play" stuff

(also I suppose because that quote in particular is pretty much nintendo.txt in a nutshell)

 

[Azure Dream]

Thank you for apologizing, IntelliHeath. I've never known you to have bad English before, so I did not take that into consideration. But I still think your tone translated just fine a few spots.

Wow, you are a piece of work.

No, I'm sorry, but I don't appreciate being badgered around, regardless if the person otherwise may have some difficulties with the language (which again, I've never noticed from IntelliHeath before). The posts were also being greatly expanded on with every edit, not simply small corrections and edits.

Otherwise, I feel I've made my point, and I'll stop arguing it here.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

The polished metal mixed with surreal organic bits makes me think Metroid.

it's Fiktion, also known as the one who avatar bets anyone who disagrees
just pretend you didn't read that

UGH, that's what it was. I couldn't remember.

 

[Fiktion]

No words.

 

[jakomocha]

I know I'm like the only one, but I really liked subspace emisarry. It was really cool to see all those characters "cross-over" like that, and the story wasn't that terrible especially for what it was trying to be. You could also play it in 2-player mode.

I'm gonna miss it.

 

[botty]

Sakurai needing a disclaimer to prevent panic that there might be a second coming of the Subpar Emissary has me in knots.

 

[SuperSah]

Joint first place.

 

[IntelliHeath]

He basically disconfirmed some kind of story mode that are similar to SSE but we are getting some kind of single contents tho.

It is more likely that we are getting Adventure Mode, and I'm pretty sure that we might get Classic Mode and All-Stars Mode back.

 

[Kouriozan]

I also liked Melee Adventure mode better than SSE.
The 3DS version really looks good, this can't be said enough

 

[Oblivion]

Don't forget about Port Mechanic. I just found out today about it and I thought it was stupid idea as well.

Port mechanic?

 

[IntelliHeath]

Port mechanic?

Here it goes.

P1 has more move priority on clashes than everyone else, P2 has more move priority than P3 and P4, etc.

Basically, the lowest port (player 4) doesn't take knockback from explosions like grenades during grabs. It's heavily beneficial to Snake as MK will take the KB because he's player 1 -- so Snake could drop a 'nade and grab MK and let the 'nade go off and Snake won't go flying but MK will.

It's a really, really stupid mechanic in Brawl.

Actually, it doesn't even have to be explosions, it's any move that deals knockback will have player 1 get knocked out of the grab and player 4 will just take the damage. It also matters for during throws as well, so if MK's Bthrow didn't have invincibility he would have been hit out of it and Snake would have just gone into the grab release animation.

 

[ramparter]

Maybe it's original and not based off a Nintendo franchise.

I'm thinking of Rayman...

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Here it goes.

That honestly strikes me more as a really weird oversight and not something they intentionally programmed in, but at the same time Brawl had tripping, so who knows?

 

[Anth0ny]

No story whatsoever, as Sakurai feels it's a pointless addition since people are just going to upload the cutscenes to YouTube.

Edit: Link.

ahahahaha fucking sakurai

what a guy

 

[Oblivion]

Here it goes.

Wow, that's amazingly retarded.

 

[Coolwhip]

Did we need a separate thread on this? It could have been mentioned in the massive official thread.

Anyway, interesting screenshot.

Did we really need this post? It could have been left to the mods to decide.

Anyway, *insert random attempt to be on topic*

 

[theprodigy]

ahahahaha fucking sakurai

what a guy

the Brawl Drinking Game™: every time you trip randomly, take a shot
hope you don't main Luigi

 

[elektrixx]

I'm gonna miss those sick cutscenes, but if it brings us closer to these games then I'm all in!

Unrelated: I played Brawl last night with a remote and nunchuk. It played surprisingly good. Online is still totally busted, so I found it strange I got into a game so fast.

 

[Phire Phox]

So I'm guessing Tabuu won't make a return

He was a way cooler villain than Master Hand

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Uhmmmm.

I dunno what to think, but that screen looks nice.

 

[Piers]

But what are we really missing that a good Adventure Mode (ala Melee) wouldn't fix? Really awkward "plot" told through pantomime? Utter fixation on the Kirby franchise the whole way through? There were some cute scenes, but it was hardly worth it.

Hopefully it won't be all set in "Generic Land" as well, with either generic or just Bowser minions. (Where was Ganondorf's troops, for example?)

I don't know if I could call Melee's Adventure Mode 'good' either - it had some quirks but it ultimately felt too similar in experience to Classic Mode. Some more mechanics or deeper gameplay mix ups would of been nicer imo. (Edit: or controversially, remove Classic Mode in favour of Adventure)

Saying that it did give Classic Mode the excuse for Trophies to present characters in their 'actual' game appearances which I missed

 

[Jackano]

I don't get the hate for the subspace emissary.
When you can't play often in local MP, that was the best thing in Brawl.
The con is that it has no replay value, because the best thing IMO was the cutscenes. When I have seen them all, I had no envy to replay them.

So I'm a little disappointed it is a regular single player mode.
I still hope to ear about the music. But Sakurai always deserve on that point, so I will keep faith until the end.

 

[Qurupeke]

Looks intriguing.

 

[Ushojax]

Surely a Metroid themed level?

SSE was awful and a waste of resources, a more basic SP mode is exactly what everybody wants.

 

[Majestad]

Looks really great.

 

[Riki]

Obviously the inside of The Bionis from Xenoblade.

 

[soviet prince]

reminds me lot like rayman

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I would have been perfectly happy had Subspace been an hour-long cutscene of characters fucking about together. That was the only decent part of that awful, awful slog.

 

[Robin64]

The massive thread is an inpenetrable place full of nothing but community chatter and injokes between the daily update of a pic. Every time I click it, I regret it. New info (and I mean actual info) being in a seperate thread is a godsend.

That place should really get put into Community over the weekends.

I agree. I thank the OP for making a new thread because otherwise I wouldn't have known. The main thread is awful for news to me and every time I decide to even read it, it's a mess.

 

[CriterionDog]

Where are people getting the Rayman obsession from? I played them and I don't see it at all.
edit: I would LOVE Rayman.

 

[kick51]

Cool, no cut scenes.

Subspace Emissary never stopped delivering the cringes. brawl is so overbaked
