You wanted us to show you a fighting game with Cloud and we heard you!
It must be stuck in the infamous Nintendo queue of "so obvious and desired that we won't do them" DLC/updates, together with playable Octolings and a co-op vs enemies mode for Splatoon, slopes and more level themes, enemies and a playable Luigi for Super Mario Maker and more maps/course for Nintendo Land.
...
Sigh...now I've made myself a bit sad actually...

Would be cool if Snake coming back would be a big deal once again, and not just a quick port over. But i'll take quick over nothing like I keep saying.
Sakurai was playing the long con. He was a sony agent all along. All nintendo versions of smash will self destruct.
Are you saying you dont like having to fight the stage itself more than your opponents? Fucking casual.
But no really Magicant would be perfection without the Flying Men.

I don't see why Gamestop would only be getting DLC pak 4 if a new one were coming out this week after the broadcast.

The way Sakurai said to watch the Direct to find out how they got Cloud into Smash makes me believe he's the ballot character. Why would they need to explain why a character got into Smash? It's interesting, certainly, but not something you advertise a Direct over.

It would really hype me if they gave all the new characters alt moves. Haven't kept up with competitive play but I assume (some?) tournaments allow them?

Most do not, after EVO showed they didn't really add anything to high level play, compared to the amount of effort to implement them.

I seriously hope people won't think the Broadcast and PM's ceasing are related.

The PM subreddit last night was a cesspool of people blaming Nintendo.
I asked this in the NX thread, but I realized that it'd be just as relevant in this thread. Do you think that the NX Platform will see a Smash 4 port with all of the DLC included? Assuming that Smash 4 DLC development ends this month, Sakurai may pursue a passion project after a possible (well-deserved) break. If that happens, the NX Platform would be left without a Smash game for at least 5 years unless Sakurai either goes straight to Smash 5 or lets someone else take the reigns as director. That's why I think Smash 4 will see an NX Platform port, but I'm curious as to what you guys think.

If a port to NX happens, it will be without Sakurai. What I womder is if it would include the content from 3DS or just be based on Wii U.
I do not believe such a game would have much more content.

I mean, I really hope so. Some people would rather BC, but in this case, I definitely would prefer a full transfer. I don't think you can deny, for the interest of longevity, that it would be better to have the game on Nintendo's newest, most ambitious hardware.
MY. MOTHERFUCKING. PEOPLES.
Edit: Imagine a trailer for Takamaru happens out of the blue and he's voice by Phil Lamarr.

I don't see any reason for them NOT to port it over. It's potentially a decent chunk of money for a comparably small investment, especially if the NX succeeds in sales where the Wii-U failed
...wait, you're still a junior member? wut?
What a great era that we live in where this kind of awesome shit happens.

Alright. Good to know. They really should have handled the custom moves better in general. Having to unlock them is sort of fine, but it shouldn't have been so cumbersome and luck based.
Long story, I don't want to derail the thread with the details. But I do agree on porting it over to at least give the NX Platform a Smash game until Smash 5 is done.I don't see any reason for them NOT to port it over.

Not new, but in the future ... so not like cloud, but in the future when they release the ballot characters RIGHT ??? ¬¬

Not if Smash 4 DLC ends this month. She may have to wait until Smash 5 if we are approaching the end.

Talked about this before but I'll never forgive Sakurai for basically screwing Palutena over by making all her best moves custom shit.
The most he could do for her is at least let her use her customs even when customs are off IE the Mii Fighters. It's just sad the way they hyped up her fully unique customs and now there's no way to use them outside of some tourneys in Tourney Mode. Otherwise, there's not much of a reason to play her outside of character loyalty. Tragic.

I actually haven't played Project M in forever but I'm really saddened it's all over now. Best of luck and wishes to the PMDT in their upcoming endeavors.

I always misread his name as 'Matt Bozo' ^.^;
The Miis, Custom moves and Palutena are a total mess. I have literally no idea what the heck they were thinking with them but it just all feels so half-hearted or ill thought out.
I mean, as far as customs go, I think the miis are actually the best implementation of them, but they messed up the miis by not allowing them on for glory or giving you an easy non-3ds way of transferring them locally (though i guess we can at least upload them now, which is something
)Palu obviously doesn't have those limitations but despite a few interesting factors her selection special moves leave a lot to be desired (worst. counter. ever) and some of her normals verge on useless.

Custom Moves should not have to be unlocked. If part of the smash broadcast was that everyone would have them unlocked in the newest update. That would be quite nice.

They'd have to tweak a few of challenges if that was the case, I don't know if they'd want to bother.

What I don't understand is why Mii Fighters or custom specials in general are excluded from For Glory completely and yet they're available for use just fine in Tournament Mode. All they simply had to do was make them their own toggable options, letting them be available in With Anyone while making them optional so that way some folks won't get "offended" by seeing a Hitler Mii or whatever.
I don't know, I don't like waiting like 15-30 minutes each in Tourney Mode just to play as a non-gimped version of my main.
I was thinking the way they could handle things would be having an in-game shop of sorts to get most customs (like with Trophies) while also on the Eshop having a purchasable (for like a dollar or less) unlock code that unlocks everything by default, even the customs from challenges.

I don't expect it. Everyone keeps thinking we're gonna get ports of these big titles, but fails to see what benefits that gives us besides "continue the DLC!". Or to add back Ice Climbers because they have an odd belief the portable is going to be as powerful as a Wii U.
With Smash being Sakurai's baby, and failing to gain a ton of traction for the Wii U, I fully expect there to not be Smash for the NX at all and instead to get a different title on the system in order to not create fatigue or a split base. I expect a new fighting game title, maybe Nintendo vs. Capcom played like Smash. It's really where the series will probably move to, without compromising Smash at all and leaving it open to have a more Nintendo focused title years from now.

So you think that there's gonna be no Smash game on the NX Platform? That's bit risky for the NX Platform & would severely hurt the platform's chances at success. At this point, a Nintendo platform with no Smash game is like a Nintendo platform with no Mario game. I'm pretty sure that Smash will continue with or without Sakurai.

There is a post that had 4 same characters that Spainkiller mentioned. It was posted way before Spainkiller mention anything about it.

I think it's probable. The install base of the Wii U is very small, and I could see them using Smash 4 Complete or whatever to use as more incentive to pick up an NX especially for people that didn't get a Wii U. Considering how much Sakurai has (and is) putting into this project, I could see them try to get as much mileage out of it as possible. Add all the DLC from the start, some more stages, music, hell even a character or two (Ice Climbers finally made possible, another biggie 3rd party rep) and sell it for 40 bucks and you've got a big title.
I don't see how. The Wii U didn't see a huge success with it, and getting a port and splitting the base for esports wouldn't be great. They need new games to get people to buy in.
We will get a game that plays like Smash without the Smash name. I think Nintendo vs. Capcom is the likely choice, but it could go other ways.

A smash is gonna happen on NX. Yeah Sakurai is a vital piecem but even if he was for some reason not to return. I'm sure there is someone who can take the helm at this point. Especially with such a huge base to work with now. The majority of the work is done.
