COMPLETELY different... dont try to pull that crap.
smash run does not have exclusive characters in it that 3DS users get to play as... you're trying to compare a simple mode where we run around and beat up various enemies to something like a hypothetical mode on wii u that would add several characters to the roster for wii u only?
dont even... just... dont freaking even compare the two, because that is total BS logic.
besides that, im sure wii u will have its own exclusive modes, but NOTHING like that.
both games already have different stages, trophies, etc... different modes is gonna happen, most likely... but do NOT use smash run to justify some twisted thought that the wii u version should have a playable ridley and 3DS not have him.
uurrgh!
i am about done with this place, the amount of foolishness i find here is just as bad as gamefaqs and miiverse, at times.
i'll see you guys when ridley is confirmed playable.. FOR BOTH VERSIONS... until then, im saving myself any further harm from overexposure to this kinda crap.
so, see you guys later... i need a long break from this topic, and from forums in general.
...Did you even read my post? (whom's first sentence was completely facetious by the way, but I guess I'll have to get serious now)
I'm genuinely asking because I never insinuated that Ridley, or any character, would be an exclusive "character" to any version of Smash 4 rosters, as it has already been confirmed that both versions will have the same roster. My post had
nothing to do with exclusive characters/roster; I was only talking in the context of the hypothetical scenario if Playable Bosses
mode (keyword) on the Wii U became a thing that it would be an mode exclusive to Wii U, in similar vein to how the Smash Run is an exclusive mode to the 3DS; it had
nothing to do with each version's roster.
Playable Boss, theoretically, are fundamentally
completely different in about every way imaginable compared to characters: their limited to one stage, limited in moves they have, the abilities they can perform, they are "outside" established mechanics of Smash fights (Bosses would have HP, no ability to use normal or "special" attacks, no tilts, smash attack, no jumping, aren't KO'd from being outside the Blast Zone, no need for recoveries since bosses won't have any knockback at all,
nothing), and cannot be used in any other mode (for example, if the Yellow Devil was a "Playable Boss", all he could do is move from end of the stage to another firing stuff, and self destruct if I remember correctly,
been a while since I've seen a Yellow Devil in action).
You can't select them on the screen, their not balanced for the roster (they are not part of the roster!), and their sole existence is just to mess with the 4 players in the arena.
They aren't comparable to characters at all. Having them playable would be a
mode, like every other mode (target whatever, Smash Run, etc.) that could very well be
exclusive to the Wii U if they felt it would push it sales (hopefully they don't do that. Also I should note that Playable Bosses is
very unlikely to happen). Exclusive playable boss mode or not, the roster and playable characters featured on both the Wii U and 3DS would be the same. Playable Bosses aren't "characters" in any way, as they share very little to no similar mechanics to playable characters. They would be a dumb gimmick that could make a player with the gamepad a glorified stage hazard that can do
very minimal actions and **** with **** every once in a while.
If Sakurai/Nintendo are dumb and actually decide to implement Wii U gimmickery, and that implementation just so happens to take in form of being able to mess with Stage Bosses (or any hazards on the stage in general), then that will be a
mode exclusive to the Wii U one. The "[insert mode here] can't be exclusive to [insert version here] because its not fair to [select version here] users" is a fallacious argument because we
already have exclusive content to both versions; there would be no reason why it couldn't be an exclusive mode to the Wii U.
Your post seems to insinuate that I was talking about characters exclusive to the Wii U. If so, then you
completely misconstrued what my post was trying to convey. I wasn't talking about
characters, I was talking about a
hypothetical mode, which is something I thought was overt in my post
.
Specifically, if Ridley is a playable character, he will be playable in Wii U and 3DS version. If he, along with the Yellow Devil and whoever, end up as playable
bosses, that would be an entirely different, gimmicky entity that would be exclusive to one version of the game.
