A Proposition on names for SSB4 (Wii U and 3DS)

[Pazzo.]

We all know this simple fact since SSB4 was announced at E3 2013,
The upcoming Smash games appear to have no official names other than 3DS and Wii U. So while reading this thread, and reading Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice", I came up with an idea.

Why not call each version Ice (Wii U) and Fire (3DS)? This would satisfy some player's want for a name for each game, while giving a quicker reference to each version. Of course, this is completely unnecessary, SSB4 would be fine, but in my opinion, Smash Wii U and Smash 3DS is a little more awkward.

What do you think about these fan names? Have any ideas of your own? Should the games even have names? Discuss here, and post away!

 

[Protom]

I'd rather "Hot" and "Cool".
Though I really don't think the names will be changing.

 

[Snakeyes]

People who want an official name fail to realize that the current one is a clever double entendre.

Smash 4 (for) Wii U
Smash 4 (for) 3DS

There's no need for a change, it's perfect.

 

[RODO]

Smash 4 is fine with me.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Kinda hard to top "Melee"

Of course the Japanese names were different Melee being "DX" and Brawl being "X"

I like Phoenix and Dragon, but that's too much and has nothing to do with anything.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I like Universe for the Wii U version.

I got nothing for 3DS though. 3D Strikes? I dunno.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Would it be too cheesy to call it: Super Smash Bros Force?

 

[Pazzo.]

Like I said, it's not needed at all, but just a suggestion.

 

[Marxl141]

Remember when everyone thought it was Super Smash Bros. Strife? Hahaha no it's fine the way it is.

 

[ryuu seika]

...the Japanese names were different Melee being "DX" and Brawl being "X".

So XT, XG or GT seem likely. Maybe a Z but I think that's gone out of fashion lately.

I like Phoenix and Dragon, but that's too much and has nothing to do with anything.

Except for the colours which fit nicely with eastern mythology.

 

[mimgrim]

I like Universe for the Wii U version.

I got nothing for 3DS though. 3D Strikes? I dunno.

Usually when talking about Universe for the Wii-U, most people go with Dimensions for the 3DS.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

So 3-Dimensional Strife might work.

Keep in mind I like Universe, but it had nothing to do with the nickname people assigned to the 3DS version based upon Universe. They're both location/world-based, so I can see why the nickname came up. Never mind what 3D stands for.

 

[Pazzo.]

Universe and Dimensions for the Wii U and 3DS respectively is also a cool idea. Since the direction of talk seems to be going in discussing a name for the games, I'm going to change the OP.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

The name is fine with me. Though it is a little boring its fine with me Nintendo has always had a thing for naming games after the system they're on.

I'm pretty sure that was Sakuria's decision, not Nintendo's?

That said, it works. The For = 4 joke helps make it even a better naming scheme.

 

[ryuu seika]

4 = for is just laziness brought on by the age of text speak normally. Yes, it may be different here but that still makes it a lot harder to appreciate Sakurai's humour.

 

[A Lucky Person]

I'm partial to Super Smash Clash. The fan base could call it Clash and/or SSB4. It just feels weird not having the option to call a Smash game by its sub-name (like Melee and Brawl).

I agree, but people also refer to SSB as Smash 64, but most aren't still playing that even though it's getting popular.

But I'd still like to see fan names for each version.

Very true, but the first one and didn't need a sub-name because it was by itself at the time; it's different now that there's more.

"Bro, you wanna play Clash?!" sounds much better than "Bro, you wanna play Super Smash Bros. 4?!" It's nit-picky of me more than anything to desire a sub-name. I'll probably end up calling it "Smash 4" when I say it out loud.

That's what I was thinking actually.

I always type "Sm4sh" when talking about... well... Sm4sh xD Among my friends, we just say "Smash".

 

[Hameed Ziabari]

I just say Smash 4.

Like, its an extra syllable from 'melee' or 'brawl'

Most of the time its just Smash universally.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Super Smash Bros. Red & Blue

Super Smash Bros. Ruby & Sapphire

Super Smash Bros. Red Rescue Team & Blue Rescue Team

That's all I got.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

SSBU and SSB3D seem like appropriate and tolerable shorthand—or SmashU and Smash3D if one prefers.

 

[Chimera]

I like Universe for the Wii U version.

I got nothing for 3DS though. 3D Strikes? I dunno.

Super Smash Bros:

 

[BADGRAPHICS]

Cool and spicy.

Is it bad that I read "SmashU" as "Smashoooooooo" ?

 

[xpnc]

I really wish they gave it a subtitle so I don't have to call it smfoursh like a ******

 

[KoRLumen]

They do have subtitles!

"Hey buddy, you wanna come over and play For 3DS?"

Works for me!

 

[HenryZusa]

I think it would be nice if they were called 'Smash Bros 4 3DS' and 'Smash Bros 4 Wii U'
Yeah, with the number 4 in the logo instead of the word 'for'
They sound the same, yet it looks cooler.

The fire and ice idea sounds very good tough.

 

[onjai_x3]

Dead or Alive and Pacman & Galaga already took "Dimensions" on 3DS.

I like 4.

 

[Pazzo.]

"Hey buddy, you wanna come over and play For 3DS?"

Works for me!

I guess that could work too!

 

[Smash G]

SSBU
SSB3D

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

SSBU
SSB3D

I like it, because it's basically just a catchier version of what Sakurai has already given us. xD

 

[Ravio_Yo]

Hey buddy, want to play the new Smash?

OMGSODIFFICULT

 

[KoRLumen]

Hey buddy, want to play the new Smash?

OMGSODIFFICULT

The problem with that is the inevitable smash 5 lol

 

[Mega Bidoof]

The 3DS one should be New Super Smash Bros., because we all know how Nintendo likes to slap "New" on something and pass it off as a new game!
Amiright New Super Mario Bros and Yoshi's New Island?


Inb4 New Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
