Comedic: The worst thing that could happen in SSB4

[TheTTimeLives]

Just a fun little thread.

Honestly I remember thinking when I discovered that there was no L-Cancelling and wave-dashing in Brawl that this was the end. I was about half right but still I love Brawl.

So scenario...

Were about 3 months out from release and Sakurai gets interviewed..

"Mr. Sakurai, you stated a few years back that in your mind Melee was the best game in the Smash Bros series. What made that game the best in your mind and what can we expect for Super Smash Bros (Colosseum? Murder Suprise Battle Supreme? Punch Face Horray Time!)?

" Well when I look back I realize a lot of things. Firstly, Melee is really hard. Their are so many different buttons and I don't know when I'm supposed to press them! So I decided, if it's too complex for me, than I can't expect everyone else to have to learn it either. So what we did is we simplified. No short hopping, no tilts and no specials. Basically you have jab, smash, shield and grab and you just have to play the game like that. Also if you press all the buttons you get Donkey Kong Punch. People seem to like charge moves so we just gave every character that punch. It's really quite spectacular."

" ......Thank you for you time Mr. Sakurai (promptly drowns himself in nearby public restroom toilet.) "

Yea that would be the worst thing in my mind.

What do you guys think would be the worst thing that could happen/be-announced for SSB4?

 

[Banjodorf]

"Unless your character is hit by an opponent every 5 seconds, you trip continuously until your opponent manages to hit you."

 

[Gene]

I could list a few things:


1. Air Tripping

2. Land Tripping

3. That tired mechanic in Kid Icarus Uprising when you run for too long.

4. On disc DLC, Capcom style

5. Friendcodes returning for wi-fi

6. Gameplay is slower than brawl

7. Ganondorf still plays the same

8.

 

[DxBOY15]

^ Yes, Krystal would be a nice addition to the Star Fox team!

I sure hope the programers take out the stupid gimmicks like tripping

 

[Gamingboy]

"Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu are overexposured, so I'm replacing them with Stanley the Bugman, Tingle, Cappy and Bidoof, so that they can finally have their time to shine."

(Apologies to Stanley the Bugman, Tingle, Cappy and Bidoof fans out there)

 

[BluePikmin11]

Hasn't it been stated there would be no friend codes at all?

 

[Hypercat-Z]

The amount of characters is the same of Brawl but more than the half of the old ones has been cutted to make room for the new ones.

 

[Tweezer Salad]

Items are mandatory with no way to turn them off and are always set on high and smash ball drops are increased even more from the last game.



also dragoon parts are always dropping

 

[Gene]

^ Yes, Krystal would be a nice addition to the Star Fox team!

Ikr?

Too bad she would have to compete with SF characters like Tricky and Andross for a roster slot.

 

[DakotaBonez]

The only way to unlock all the good stuff for Smash Bros Wii U is by purchasing Smash Bros 3DS also.

I really hope the two games are standalone from eachother. Would be cool if they were the same game and ya could transfer save files. Not sure what 3DS capacity is.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Max capacity for a 3DS cartidge is 8 GB. I doubt they'd have any difficulty fitting character and stage data on that. The one thing that would likely be troublesome would be music, but that would likely be compressed more for the 3DS.

 

[Carolus Rex]

The worst thing is always characters that don't belong in any possible way like Naruto, Goku or Batman. Those are the worst thing, period.

 

[PMS | LEVEL 100 MAGIKARP]

The game isn't compatible with game cube controllers.

oh wait

 

[Diddy Kong]

Items are mandatory with no way to turn them off and are always set on high and smash ball drops are increased even more from the last game.

Don't joke about that. As in Smash 64 you had to unlock the 'ability to turn off items'.

No really, not ****ting you...

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Don't joke about that. As in Smash 64 you had to unlock the 'ability to turn off items'.

As I recall, Smash64 also lacked a Socre Display option.

 

[Platsy]

Fans have a larger hitbox and faster attack speed.

 

[Kink-Link5]

Max capacity for a 3DS cartidge is 8 GB. I doubt they'd have any difficulty fitting character and stage data on that. The one thing that would likely be troublesome would be music, but that would likely be compressed more for the 3DS.

Or just have fewer tracks in general. There does not need to be a 200 tracklist by any means, and even with all of its .brstms, Brawl hits in at about 8.6 GB. A smaller tracklist would be the simplest means of keeping game capacity met.

As for the thread, there are plenty of things that would be "the worst" that could happen for the game.

Like it being canceled.

Or removing every character except for Olimar.

If you're looking for somewhat more realistic choices that could be made:

-Running Stamina system as implemented in Kid Icarus, or even something like what Pokemon Trainer has applied to all characters: "Oh you haven't died in a while; well let's just go ahead and weaken your character for you."

-No item switch

-Removing of options in general, regarding both gameplay and game modes

-Incompatibility with the Wii U pro controller

-Further attempts to increase longevity and remove any semblance of momentum in the game (Although manageable with the damage ratio option, it is suboptimal to have to be forced to change a fundamental part of the game engine to have something of an acceptable lifespan)

 

[Diddy Kong]

Some things I thought of:

-Heavy imbalance in the roster (again).
Don't balance the roster in a Free For All setting with items on. PLEASE DON'T.

-Item play cannot be turned off.
Like in 64, or worse.

-Subspace Emmisary returns as basically exactly the same thing.
Same plot, same nameless enemies, same weird physics, same time wasting. Everything.

-Stamina in any form possible like how Pokemon Trainer has it.
Mentoined above by Kink-Link5

-More stupid character gimmicks as Lucario's Aura.
Not saying Lucario himself is stupid, but found the concept totally offputting.

-No newcomers at all.

-Slower gameplay than Brawl's.

-Faster gameplay than Melee's.

-Button mashing is encouraged.

-Tripping makes a return.

-Same WiFi modes as in Brawl.

-Friendcodes.

-Weird controlls that don't suit Smash at all.

-On disk or paid DLC content

-Stage Builder is the same as in Brawl

-Master Pieces return


-Stanley the Bugman and DK Jr are the 3rd and 4th Donkey Kong characters.
I'll rage.

-Mewtwo won't return.
Or if he does, he's exactly the same as in Melee.

-Falco is still high tier +, and Link, Yoshi and Ness keep sucking.

-Heavy characters stay sucky for the most part.

-Ice Cilmbers can still wobble everyone to death.

-Chain grabbing infinities like King Dedede's on DK are still in the game.

-Unwinnable matchups.
:metaknightbrawl: vs :ganonbrawl:

-Ganondorf stays a clone.

Spoiler

-Sheik is not replaced by Impa

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Spoiler

-Sheik is replaced by Impa

Fixed just for you.

For the record, though, would you be fine if Impa got in and Sheik stayed?

 

[Frostwraith]

Tripping returns with higher chances.

My Music feature is removed.

Mewtwo and Roy don't return. (I can bear with this one.)

The game is glitchy as hell.

Further removal of bonus stages in Classic Mode.

Spoiler

Sakurai: *laughs*

 

[Diddy Kong]

Fixed just for you.

For the record, though, would you be fine if Impa got in and Sheik stayed?

Yes I would. Probably. Actually, it seems like the better option, just not very likely.

 

[volbound1700]

Sakurai creates a character that is very unbalanced and can spam the same movers over and over again and defeat other characters... oh wait nevermind

Sakurai cuts half the roster from Brawl including Sonic and Snake and replaces them with Kid Icarus and Tekken characters.

 

[Dark Phazon]

I can name sooo many its scary..enough reasons to not get your hopes up..

[But diddy explained it the best already..]

Majority cut for newcomers

Still sucky online

Tripping return

4 Starfox characters

Lucario & 5/6 gen (no mewtwo)

Subspace emissery part 2 litreally...

Anthony Higga or No new metroid char (no ridley)

Ganondorf having little to no changes

Final smash system not changed at all..

Ugh..if i sit down and think i could easily name 30+ but thats long...

The most worse would be

Sakurai: *laughs*

 

[Gamingboy]

Actually, Sakurai will be replacing the entirety of the roster with Bidoofs, who will all wear different hats. Play as Bidoofs dressed as your favorite Nintendo All-Stars!

 

[GetBentSaggy]

By making it just like PSASBR.

 

[Gene]

Smash 4 gameplay ends up turning into the Outfoxies because Namco is involved.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Sakurai wants the Call of Duty audience, so he turns Super Smash Bros. into a first-person shooter.

Alternatively, a dating sim where you fall in love with Wario.

Hmm... the GTA San Andreas 'Hot Coffee' mod with Wario?

 

[Hypercat-Z]

Good: Simon Belmont is in the game
Bad: ... But he is designed after his Captain N The Games Master version
Worse: ...And he's a gaysh clone of Zero Suit Samus.

Good: The game is excellent
Bad: ...But is released on the sunset of the console
Worse: ...And is not released outside Japan because it came out too late

Good: The game has the anime character you wanted
Bad: ...But he/she is not present in your localized version of the game because of license matters
Worse: ...And has been replaced with Jar Jar Binks

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

No combos.

 

[Fastblade5035]

I can think of a few:
Tripping is much more common
Tingle, Waluigi and Jiggz are the only characters
No stage builder
Only 1-2 songs per stage
Slower than Brawl and 64
Every character has dialogue
Only jump and punch work
The only third party character is Big the Cat
Bidoof, Zubat and Ratatta are the only enemies in story mode
Er... that's all I can come up with for now.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Ok..some of these stuff or not even realistic suggestions..or it doesnt matter?

Anyway check the link below.
if that happens then it would be the worse thing ever nothing could be worse.

[colder_than_ice]

The game gets cancelled in favor of another new super Mario bros game.

 

[FalKoopa]

The worst thing would be for Sakurai to suddenly fall ill and the game to be cancelled.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Or he *laughs* ditches the project AND nintendo and open a daycare centre for cats. or joins Sony.

 

[Banjodorf]

It's not the worst thing, but I'm still on board for that stage with Sakurai's smiling face in the background, where you trip every 20 seconds. That would be the most hilarious thing in the history of ever.

I heard Landmaster was Top Tier.

[Norm]

Sakurai having gone through a bad break up changes Super Smash Brothers to Super Smash Bros before Ho's.
