Smash Wii U & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - October 29th

[Smashboards]

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. Classic mode in the Wii U version is set up like a battle coliseum with multiple fighters teamed up with each other. Move your trophy and join in anywhere you want. You can see faint images of stages on the platform--the number of fighters clustered on those images indicates the number of fighters you'll face. As you can see, this feature leverages the fact that the game supports multiplayer with up to eight players."

He also posted a second picture and comment: "After each battle, the fighters that lost get blown away!! The fighters remaining on the field will once again team up with other fighters on the field. You can actually choose fighters you've blown away to join your team in team battles. A rival will always appear in this mode, and the longer that character survives, the stronger it will get."

Hey Sakurai, how about that newcomer trailer for Duck Hunt? We all know who and who isn't playable and we have been knowing for more than a month now! It's not like there's anymore nasty leaks spraying across the internet that will ruin the suspense!

 

[zanryo]

Wow 3.9 difficulty scrub
Wut

 

[Chazman2000]

So we can just beat the rival straight away? That kinda sucks. I was hoping that the rivals the last one you beat, before Master Core of course.

Also anyone realized they revealed Jigglypuff, but haven't put her on the website... Woopsies Sakurai.

 

[Meis]

I still have no idea how to play this

Yeah I hope this isn't the case. Maybe the rival has powerups that makes it more challenging no matter when you face it?

 

[LIQUID12A]

God these freaking POTDs are not worth it now.

 

[Squii The Fish]

T-thanks Sakurai... This.... pic of the day cured my meat. Now my family can eat... Hahaha I spent all my money... on

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

God these freaking POTDs are not worth it now.

Sakurai obviously took an arrow to his knee so his adventurous PotD days are over.

 

[Masonomace]

Apparently is goku, she instant transmissions where is. . .

After each battle, the fighters that lost get blown away!! The fighters remaining on the field will once again team up with other fighters on the field.

So you're telling me that this could only defeat & that's it. You can't even defeat all 3 of them?

You need to U-throw more Kirby.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Sakurai obviously took an arrow to his knee so his adventurous PotD days are over.

You got the place wrong though, since the injury obviously afflicted his shoulder more.

He did, however, jam many arrows in the metaphorical knees of supported characters. See: Ghirahim, Takumaru, Ridley, Chrom, and God knows how many others.

B..b...but DLC makes all those characters p..possible! It's DLC!

Chrom-Robin's Final Smash, plus he's in Robin's victory pose, the intro to the Wii U version, in Pautena's convo about Robin, an online avatar and a trophy. Yeah, he's not happening. Anything can change? Well EVERYTHING would have to change.
Ridley-The months teased stage boss and a damn fine one at that. At this rate I'd be surprised if he happened.
Takumaru-As it stands, not happening. Maybe he'll get the Little Mac treatment next game.
Ghirahim-See Takumaru, except less likely because Zelda has more games coming.

But let's not derail the POTD into strawgrasping, good Venus.

 

[Yuritails]

Eh, I prefer the classic mode in 3DS.

 

[DeFighter97]

The 3DS version is a Choose-your-path style, while this version is Skill-based.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

This seems like it'll turn chaotic in a heartbeat. I do wonder what you must do to fight Master Hand though.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

This looks awesome, I just wish they hadn't called it "Classic" mode because it's anything but. Still excited to play it either way.

 

[Deleted member]

Eh, it alright.

 

[kirby_queen]

Player 1 is Kirby. Awwwwwww yeaaah B)

 

[Modular Zeal]

The 3DS version is a Choose-your-path style, while this version is Skill-based.

Yea, i feel like there might be ways to make it easier and harder (other than the scale you choose at the beginning)

 

[Strofirko]

The funny thing will be people expecting new stuff from POTD even after the game releasing.

 

[BobEugCox]

I think this mode looks really fun.
I can't wait to play it co-op with @Altern. It'll be fun to see who get's booted off, and who randomly interrupts a match + I LOVE the idea of having a rival.

Seems appropriate that Palutena is the rival in these pics, because =PAIN IN THE REAR. (She's one of my least favorite CPU players to face along with &)

 

[WinterShorts]

The funny thing will be people expecting new stuff from POTD even after the game releasing.

Well IDK maybe people are expecting something like "Surprise! You can also play the game with Melee psychics." Then again, Mewtwo's confirmed, Ridley's deconfirmed, we have the 3DS version, and almost everything else was said in the 50-fact video. What more needs to be said?

 

[LordCQ]

But why is it called Classic if it's completely new?

 

[Diamond DHD]

This is just my own opinion, but I swear classic mode gets consistantly worse in every iteration of Smash Bros. 64 did it the best, Melee was pretty good, Brawl was okay, 3DS is meh, and this ain't really classic mode at all. It might be pretty good, but I dunno about it right now, and it's certainly not classic mode, no matter how you look at it.

 

[KatKit]

I'm still trying to fathom how 8 player will work. We like... take turns? They'll split us up for team battles or something. I'm kinda clueless. Sounds interesting though. Would be awesome if all players got to fight the boss together.

Afaik, there is no 8 player for classic mode. Wasn't 2 human players the limit?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

CLASSIC MODE HYPE!!!

2 human players, 6 CPUs

 

[TurnUp]

Also anyone realized they revealed Jigglypuff, but haven't put her on the website... Woopsies Sakurai.

She had a Wii U gameplay video slide too, the one where she puts two people to sleep and rests with them.

She looks very good, she's also not an unlockable in the Wii U version.

 

[Orngeblu]

Will the character that join your team after you knock them out, suck, like in 9.0 Classic Mode Team Battle on 3DS? :')

No really, then it would pretty much be useless to team up on 9.0 because they're literally a level 1 CPU.

 

[WaveDashCash]

Everything I once knew is gone...

 

[Deathcarter]

I love how this mode looks! Looks like oodles of fun!

....but Sakurai really needs to read a dictionary and read the definition of "Classic". This mode ain't the Classic mode I grew up with that's for sure.

 

[aleckermit]

I'm not too happy about this "Classic" mode or the lack of a Melee-style Adventure mode. Linear progression up to Master Hand was pretty fun, it felt like you were really taking on a Nintendo character on their home turf, but now it's just a big random cluster of fighters on a board. And instead of spending so many resources on character reveal cinematics they could have used the CGI team for Adventure mode cutscenes.

Overall it seems that there are a lot of smaller modes and no big modes. Still gonna be a great game, but I wonder if any of the single player modes will leave memorable impressions down the road.

 

[MajinBuu272]

to tell ya the truth...
this new classic looks better and more fun that the other classic modes we have had so far...
i mean the others versions would get repetitive... follow the path, do 12 battles, break the targets, race to the finish... same stuff every time...
I'm glad that this improvement was made

 

[Zad]

8 Player multiplayer!

 

[MajinBuu272]

8 Player multiplayer!

that's another thing that makes it better and more fun.

 

[Code Bread]

God these freaking POTDs are not worth it now.

omigosh im so sorry

^
Except 3ds Classic wasn't just meh, it was pretty bad.
Hopefully this Classic proves us wrong, but it still won't be Classic mode.

 

[GymleaderBen]

Even in smash bros we find the character outed by many cliques that want him dead.
I'm back in high school and its awful

 

[DeFighter97]

Well in my opinion on the 3DS version is when that if the player chooses the wrong path that they didn't want to go to, they'll have to fight that opponent.

 

[Aninymouse]

This still seems kind of confusing. I guess Master Hand/Core just kind of crashes onto the board at the end, like a giant trophy? That'd be interesting! Master Core's new Fortress mode seems pretty sweet, too. Since, you know, Master Hand is kind of Spam Air Dodge: the Experience.
