I just discovered a potentially mindblowing connection.

[Gregory2590]

The logo has a Fire and Ice theme.

Spoiler

>SSB4's final destination has a fire and ice theme(sort of)

Spoiler

3ds and Wiiu have red and blue as their corresponding colors, which can be related to Fire and Ice.

Spoiler

3ds version releases in the SUMMER while the Wii U version releases in the WINTER which is also corresponding with surprise: Fire and Ice.

Spoiler

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

DID SAKURAI KNEW THE RELEASE ALL ALONG?!

 

[NintendoKnight]

Tell me I wasn't the only one who thought of this:

Spoiler

Hilariously, searching up "Soul Calibur logo" on Google pulls up the Smash 4 logo.

Anyway, I find it amazing that the logos and FD and the release dates all correspond properly. Clearly done on purpose, but I'm glad you noticed it. I doubt I would've. And I look for stuff like this!

 

[Gregory2590]

Changed the first post to make it look less seemingly image heavy.

 

[DaDavid]

That's... pretty damn crazy haha. Won't work as well if 3DS FD is designed differently but still.

 

[PikaJew]

All I know is that I'll be playing smash by the pool and the fireplace this year

 

[Mypantisgone]

I noticed all this and thought it was normal, except the realise dates. This really intrigues me.
What does it mean? Is there something special? There's got to be a reason why the games are connected to such a point as having fitting realise dates.

 

[Fatmanonice]

That's... actually kind of genius if that was intended all along...

Wow... that makes sense! Sakurai, you sly son of a gun....

 

[Artsy Omni]

I think it's just a really neat coincidence. =P

I think the real reason that 3DS is red and Wii U is blue is because 3DS branding is red and Wii U branding is blue.

Pretty simple. =P

YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND

 

[Deleted member]

Wow... I didn't think about this at all...
I guess you can make connections on Final Destination and how the layout looks vastly different from both halves of the stage...

I must say that if this is intentional, then this is pretty freaking clever.

[Kirks21]

I cant stop laughing. Great find!

 

[FreeFallUp]

Personally, I just thought the Wii U logo looked like it had blue flames attached, but now that you mention it (and I look more closely at it)...

Yep.

Mind blown.

 

[Smash G]

Maybe it means Smash Bros 3DS and WiiU will be the first games with good supported cross-platform gameplay from Nintendo.

Imagine going on your WiiU and playing 3DS levels or 3DS levels on your WiiU. Or some players playing with their 3DSs as controllers/screens connected to the WiiU playing with others playing the WiiU version.

 

[ScottyWK]

But summer/winter in Australia/New Zealand. Poor Oceanic crowd being disregarded.

 

[Violenceman]

Charizard vs Ice Climbers. The ultimate battle is on!



- Fire & Ice
- Hailfire Peaks
- Banjo Kazooie confirmed.

 

[Bruce_Knee]

Spoiler

confirmed?

 

[SuperBrawler]

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Even the Greninja trailer centered around "red vs. blue", if not fire and ice...

 

[leprechaunlink727]

When I saw Final Destination, my first though was definitely "Namco made this **** look exactly like Soul Calibur and Soul Edge", but this theory works too.

 

[Xigger]

Reminds me of Pokemon's strategy of versions 1 and 2.

Smash Brothers Red and Smash Brothers Blue. Expect Smash Bros: Pikachu Yellow edition to be announced after release.

 

[Perguito]

Sakurai is Benjen

 

[Swift Fox]

Falcondorf confirmed.

 

[DeanAdamFry]

I did think this before but dismissed it because of one reason: the colours represent the console they are on.

Nintendo 3DS has red in the 3 part and Nintendo Wii U has blue in the U part so while this is all hugely connected I personally think it just coincidence and is now played along because of how much of a coincidence it is.

3DS version overheats.
Wii U version suffers from freezes.

 

[Poots]

Oh man, what if Master hand in this game is black and red, while Crazy hand is made of ice?

 

[CosmicKirby]

Well, as Kukusho pointed out.

Orange and Blue are complimentary colors. Having both featured prominently next to each other makes the colors pop more and catch attention.

 

[Pazzo.]

Smash Bros. Fire and Smash Bros. Ice versions.

THERE WE GO PEOPLE NO NEED TO ADD A '4' AFTER THE NAMES!!!!!

 

[Norm]

No a bad idea.

 

[NintendoKnight]

Smash Bros. Fire and Smash Bros. Ice versions.

I second that motion, actually. Or maybe just the color names. But definitely in that direction.

...You just put a strange scenario in my head now.
Master hand as the boss/leader of story mode in the Wii U version, complete with an ice(creation) theme about them.
Crazy hand as the boss/leader for the 3DS version, taking the fiery and angry approach.

Then your incentive for owning both copies of the game is so you can eventually make them both duke it out in a final event or something as a continuation of the smaller-scale story mode this game will have.

I discovered this too when I went on 4chan and NeoGaf.

Well, let's get it started then. Find someone who can photoshop, or make a thread about it! :D

 

[infomon]

I expect elemental effects to be much more significant in this smash. Finally. It was supposed to be that way in Brawl I think but they failed really hard, the magnitude of the effects were quite subtle, only really manifesting in the odd attack here and there.
