Zebkeet here with another two questions. Which version do you think will be more popular in either fun or competetive play and which smashers will return to play Smash4? Post below this and more.

I think Wii U will be more popular competitively because of the controller scheme. A controller feels much better than a handheld for a fighting game and replacing a controller is MUCH cheaper than fixing a handheld. Plus you can more easily stream the console version and thus building hype. Just a side opinion here but if they released a special edition of smash bros 4 with a GC controller Wii U pro controller then I would immediately drop whatever money they want for it. GC controller just feels too good for smash bros.

Oh and this is all assuming Smash 4 has enough competitiveness to be played that way.

Tourney rules, as neutral as possible stages. Meaning no walking off to your death, no moving stages where the camera can kill you, no stage hazards, and so on. No items and probably a 3-4 stock 8 min game. 2/3 and 3/5 pretty standard stuff.

Not sure who in the pro scene will return, but honestly I am more concerned about the game having competitive value first. I'll worry about other players later. I just want to be able to have a new game to play. Melee > any future smash bros game but the same can be said about MvC2 > all other MvC games. But UMVC3 is the thing played at EVO. I want smash to be able to move on like all other franchises.

If you mean characters, Jiggs, Ice climbers, captain falcon are all pretty much guaranteed or very close to it. There might be a second fire emblem character and maybe a Xenoblade character(though this one is iffy because Xenoblade is kinda new for Nintendo). Ness probably will be back too.

I'm just taking a wait and see approach to smash 4. I'll get the game yes, but how long I play it will be determined by if it has enough competitive value. I used to play ganondorf and roy in melee + a little bit of marth and capt falcon so I'll check out the fire emblem character(s), ganondorf(if he is still there), and good old captain falcon. I hope falcon has a good knee of justice.

My planned mains are in my sig.

As for the competitive scene, I feel this game has the potential to be the best yet.

Well Toon Link looks to be the same as Brawl, same with Mario, so they'll probably still be on my list. I also kinda wanna try out Bowser, because with his new speed he seems intriguing.

As for Newcomers, Little Mac and Mega Man seem right up my alley.

I will have to try all veterans as well as all the newcomers in order to decide which character(s) I plan to use, once the game comes out.
Very good point. I plan on using every character at least 10-15 times before I can give them a final judgement

I don't play competitive...well...play. So, I'm not gonna answer that. However!

My mains will be...

Marth, Sheik, Villager, Zero Suit Samus, Toon Link, and Greninja.

I feel like there was another thread like this one...

However, since I don't want to spoil the mood! Characters that look right up my alley to consider maining: :4greninja: :4charizard:

I'm big on characters that are either fast and strong, but not TOO gimmicky, or heavy and interesting. Right now I'm waiting to see Ganon, Palutena, and maybe hopefully please Shulk before I make a final decision.

Gonna have to give Mac, Mega Man and Villager a spin too.

I'll just go down the rows in order. Then I'll switch around between mains and other characters for a while.

I have mains, but I love playing with every single character. I'm super pumped for Smash. I'm already prepared. Just gonna play the poop out of it.
