Wow... I think I'd just sit and cry for a few days, and never step foot outside my room. Eventually, all my tears will have drained out and so I would no longer be able to cry. I'd then go resume my place in society, wearing a plastic mask over a face of pure depression.

Metaphorically, of course.

While I do have 64, Melee, Brawl, and PM to enjoy my time with, I would be disappointed if SSB4 got cancelled. While those games have fun gameplay, I won't be able to play as Little Mac or Mega Man (or even potentials like Shulk and King K. Rool) unless I hack Brawl and that wouldn't be satisfying.

I can't see this game get cancelled, especially when it's a game that the Wii U is depending on.

SSB4 would be burried, and millions would come to it's funeral.
But then Sakurai rolls out SSB5, and everyone forgets about 4. Then SSB4 fades away like every other cancelled game.

But suddenly, the burried files of SSB4 become self-aware, and angry that everyone forgot about it. The files use an advanced tech engine installed inside (originally with the intent of having the best physics of all Smash games, even better than Melee), to take over the world and kill most humans.

But luckily, there is a Resistance, known as Smashboards, made of the surviving humans. Their leader, Bidoof Connor, constantly keeps the humans out of harms way from SSB4's robot army.

SSB4 realizes it needs a way to stop Bidoof and Smashboards, so it sends one of its Planned Newcomers to the past, in order to kill Bidoof's computer, the day before the Mega Bdioof account was created on Smashboards.com.

What is this newcomer, you ask?
It was named R-1000, or as you may know it as......


The Reggienator.

Have a moment of silence for the Wii U, then go whistling off into the sunset with the knowledge that Lyn can be in P:M with no issue, in addition to possibly Mac, Ridley and/or the other newcomers bar perhaps Megaman, all the while feasting upon the tears of the Chrom fans who 'knew' his inclusion in Smash 4 is a 'certainty'.

Of course, this is pointless speculation since guess what? Companies tend not to cancel games from popular, console-carrying franchises that they have been building up the hype for for two years. If Sakurai himself were to walk off the project tomorrow, they'd replace him. This is the only game that can possibly save the Wii U. Frankly, Nintendo would be willing to go to absurd lengths to see it out by 2014's end.

DONT BOOHOO ME!!!! I take sixteen credit hours, and I just got done with three midterm exams.
I do too, and I work, it would still suck to me if smash got canceled You ain't gotta front bruh.
Except:
1.- It may be good, but it's a hack.
2.- Doesn't have Megaman or Ridley.
3.- Has Roy (That's a downside).

We need a game that makes the Melee fanbase move on.
I'm still gonna play Melee. I still play a lot of old games. I like Melee for what it is, not its age.

If it was cancelled i'd probably just boohoo that i didn't get to play as mega man and go back to project M/MK8

If it is L cancelled i will cheer for joy because it will take only half of the rest of the development time.
Lmao!

I could care less! I'm a college student, I have a job, and Sakurai has been disappointing me about the new smash from the start, except for MegaMan.

SPOILER ALERT: College is REALLY HARD WORK!!!

Sorry, but you were basically asking for this.

And yeah, many of the people I know on here are in college, and have had doing mid-terms while still anxiously awaiting SSB4. No offense though.

:I I wish I could permadislike this post...SSB4 IS THE REAL SMASH GAME. The Wii U's fine for this new Smash, and I really doubt that the 3DS is holding back the Wii U version, since we've already seen that it can manage characters like Rosalina & Luma and it'll have completely different stages. Sakura also said at some point that the 3DS version could come out later.
This ain't one of those "I wish Smash 4 was X" post. This is a hypothetical response to give a reason to something that everyone knows what would never happen. Of course, Smash 4 is the real game. But if it was cancelled for any logical reason... it wouldd have to be for another Smash game.

As for the Wii U/3DS game debate... The 3DS may not be holding back the design for Smash 4, but it's fact that Nintendo could do more with a Smash game developed just for the Wii U as opposed to the Wii U and the 3DS. It's all about design choice. Look at Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword. TP was designed for GC and Wii. Skyward was designed for Wii alone. Skyward Sword could push the Wii to it's limits because that was its design. TP was designed with the GC in mind. It wasn't meant to put the petal to the metal for the Wii. But that is perfectly fine. That was a design choice.

But what that means is that a Hypothetical Smash game designed just for the Wii U would be able to do more then Smash 4 (the game we're getting). Why? Not because "the 3DS is holding it back" but because the design isn't mean to utilize the Wii U's full potential. Smash 4's design philosophy is more about "cross play" then it is about bringing us a beautiful "high-quality, super powerful Smash" game. But design choice in this instance of it is like beauty - in the eye of the beholder - and unfair to call any version of it "wrong". Just like how an opinion can't be "wrong".

There is no denying that the Wii U has a stronger processor and can handle more pixels and renders then the 3DS and that is why some fans (including me to some extent) would want a Smash game that would take advantage of that. But it's totally Nintendo's prerogative to focus on the cross system gameplay and connectivity. So is a possible HD Super Powerful Hypothetical Smash game possible for the Wii U? Totally. Will Smash 4 be that game? No. Is the 3DS the reason? It could be. But I bet the real reason is that Nintendo doesn't want to make that kind of Smash game. It's their design choice. It doesn't mean Smash 4 will be a bad game.

Of course at the end of the day, this is all about what would happen if Smash 4 was CANCELLED. And it won't be. Delayed? I'd bet money on that to be honest. But never cancelled. :) I could hope that Nintendo would make a Smash game that was designed more on pushing it's home console to the limits but that's not happening right now.

But I'm not going to pretend that a future Smash game on a Wii U could do more, couldn't render more then what Smash 4 has. That it couldn't hold data for more characters, more stages then the 3DS if the developers wanted to go that route.

I don't know how this Smash isn't super hidef...the character models and the stages look amazing.

Actually, Sakurai confirmed that there is no cross play between Smash on 3DS and Wii U. They're being treated as two different games, so I personally don't see a reason that the Wii U can't be ultra awesome.

And if Smash was cancelled, I would be very sad.

I'd write an extremely long and convoluted rant and send it to Sakurai.

Arrange an operation to steal all remaining files of SSB4 in their current build, learn the coding language and programs of the game, and get a community of Smashers to develop the game to completion with me. Now, doesn't that sound better thank throwing your life away or regressing to Melee?

I would be disappointed, but then I would get over it and play other games I have.
But I would only get over it after I ding-dong ditch Sakurai's house several times.

Im confused when people say this....was project m playable online against other project m users?
You can play Project M online actually. There's even a WiFi safe version of it. Of course come May it becomes kinda iffy because Nintendo disabling it's servers for its games. But there is always Dolphin netplay for those who have that.

And of course there is always offline play if there are people in the general area who play it.

Then when you draw him a good distance away from the door and out of sight, smack him over the head repeatedly with a Wii Fit Balance Board.

Unlike most on this forum Im actually involved in the melee scene so I don't bother with online.
Hell, I'm from the Brawl scene and I don't bother with online.

I would play Melee. That's what I did when I found the disappointment that was Brawl (Not trying to start a flame war, just opinion).

I would be quite let down. We have a lot of characters and stages announced to look forward to playing, seeing all of that vanish, never to be seen again would be disappointing.

However, it would not be the end of the world to me, nor would I regret purchasing my Wii U. I have been more hyped for Mario Kart 8 from the beginning either way.

Um, I didn't expect such a stupid thread to get so many responses.
It seems like a very questionable decision to create a thread that you - its creator - think is stupid. I'm new here, so maybe it's not my place to say this, but this kind of uninspired post seems to just clutter the forum. All that aside, the poll options are pretty childish.

Either way, I'm gonna take the bait and answer the question regardless. I would have mixed feelings about the cancelling of SSB4. On one hand I would be relieved, because as it is now I am concerned that a new (and likely inferior, in my opinion) Smash would deliver a near lethal blow to Melee's once again growing community. On the other hand, SSB not getting any new titles removes all chances that Nintendo hits the nail on the head and creates a game that (again, in my biased, Melee/Project-M Supremest opinion) could surpass Melee.

I'm talking about competitive Brawl tournaments when I say scene. If that's not your thing, that's cool with me. Its pretty much playing against long-distance players in Melee because not a lot of us want to bother with the netcode and limited multiplayer options. I think we can both agree SSB4 should fix these issues.

Well, the idea just simply came to my head, so I wondered what other people would think about it. Almost as a way to see people's opinions on the game and if they would actually care if the game was non-existent.

Also, the poll options were intended to be silly and childish.
No offense taken. ;)

In conclusion, this is more of a joke thread than anything.

Ohmahgerd the butthurt posts from miiverse would make me wanna keep my wii u just to view them. But I would sell it soon after. Seriously I could buy a ps3 with the cash I made and enjoy the fighting games I missed last gen.


Man D-idara why ya gotta make this another flame war thread.
Except:
1.- It may be good, but it's a hack.
2.- Doesn't have Megaman or Ridley.
3.- Has Roy (That's a downside).

Im glad to see that your complaints about project m have finally shifted away from the gameplay and now yer just complainin about the lack of your favorite characters, this is a small step in the right direction. Also, I think that alot of the fanbase forgot about melee when project m came around anyway. Except for the european fanbase which unfortunately still can't enjoy this mod. Wait, is that why you hate project m? Do you have a PAL territory copy of the game? You poor poor soul.
