I made this five minutes ago and I can already tell that Smash 4 will be the best Smash game:

 

[Bomber7]

No tripping. No buying. #trippingforSmash4

 

[link and ike lover]

Izaw has been inactive for 3 years or so now, I believe

He had a very disent Link. ^-^

Finally got to sit down. Long day at work! No school tomorow (again), and well, I might just stay home and relax instead of going in for my manager. >_>

Good u deserve it. LOL

Thank's for being so dang clear, Sakurai :|

Yeah!!!!

"Oh, I don't listen to players who enjoy my game competitively, but all I do is talk complex strategy on my Pic of the Day page."

TBH, from what I've seen of the items I really like the direction they are headed. This time around they seem far more about zoning and strategy. Will they find use in truly competitive Smash? No. But for more casual leagues like the one I'm running at my uni, the items will add a lot of layers of strategy. It'll be quite fun.

I seriously cant wait!!! Im gonna definetly be maining link!!!! Link is da best!

 

[Rizen]

I hope Link has reddish brown hair in the next Zelda. I didn't like when they made him blond in OoT.

 

[Bomber7]

They did it for sex appeal. Blondes are much sexier than brunettes. Unless your name is Bomber7, then you aren't bias more over the other because you'd tap both of those.

 

[Naroghin]

I would only tap brunettes. Brunette, singular; my wife is brunette.

My head is brunette but my beard is red :S

Red? Wow that would look weird but in TP he had brownish blond hair.

What is Brunette if it's a race im Muslim

 

[Anonano]

No, brunette refers to hair color. Brunette = brown colored hair. Usually darker brown, but I think it's come to mean brown hair in general.

Epic! Link with the tryforce

 

[Rizen]

Red hair is the sexiest. Just sayin'
I usually like game characters to look realistic and/or traditional. So for Link and Zelda I prefer that the keep their brown and blond colors, respectively. It doesn't make that much difference though.

 

[Heero Yuy]

Their Twilight Princess designs were perfect. 'nuff said.

 

[Zane the pure]

Whoa, I must've missed something if LordXavier has really become best Link. I would wager to say he's one of the most active considering Ramin plays marth, AeroLink moved to PM and Scizor still counterpicks meta knight. Man, when was the last time I heard from X anyways, he must've really stepped up...

 

[Rizen]

LordXavier is or was PRed 2nd in RI using only Link according to this
http://smashboards.com/threads/power-rankings-directory-updated-6-9-2013.278504/
http://allisbrawl.com/group.aspx?id=14488
I think that was from 2013, idk. He probably was the most active Link at the time.

Edit, Lucario's back:
http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/lucario.html
(Hopes for Mewtwo dim)
Sakurai increased the aura influence because Lucario wasn't OP enough in Brawl.

 

[TropicalTaco]

Still no Mewtwo?

Fail...

 

[Zane the pure]

I was really hoping they would get rid of Aura as a mechanic. That sort of gameplay design really doesn't sit well with my fighting game sensibilities...
Why reward a character for getting hit, and why make them puny without it? Whatever, I like Lucario and I'm glad to see him return.

 

[Rizen]

In Japan players aren't allowed to run away and timeout. But with western rules the aura becomes more of a cheap element :/
I think Sakurai just wanted to stop fu///rries from rioting and revealed Lucario, lol.

Edit, I've been pretty good about exercising daily except for 2 days. I'm going to try to sketch a day too even though atm all my stuff is packed so this is just a pencil sketch on my desk (while watching a speed run of Darksouls and Darkwing Duck) with no model.

 

[Anonano]

I feel like the character in your picture is shouting "SAKURAAAAIIII!"

I always disliked Lucario's character model in Brawl, and it looks like little was changed in the move to Smash 4 (although the model looks cleaner overall, not to mention texture quality which should be a given). @ Rizen it's hard to say that buffing the aura mechanic is making him OP given we don't even understand the game engine and mechanics, ha ha. He might be the most underpowered character in the game without super buffed aura mechanics.

And that's the kicker to me about all of this, is that despite the idea that getting hit might offend some fighter gamers' sensibilities ;P Lucario turned out to be one of the most balanced and middle-of-the-road characters of Brawl. So I'm just sayin' don't call anything on the game yet. Still hoping for a top tier Link.

Also, I love Lucario and I am still hopeful for Mewtwo.

Gingers steal souls; brunette's are best!

I'd be happy with just a mid-tier/upper-mid tier Link. I think part of the satisfaction of being successful with Link is knowing the odds are stacked against you. Kind of plays into the element of courage in his personality (though a little balancing would make playing a lot less frustrating, too).

I didn't know my beard could steal souls! Gotta try this out sometime.

 

[Bomber7]

I saw someone post on facebook either yesterday or today that Sakurai is THINKING about adding MewTwo.... God please let him make it.

 

[Rizen]

Sort of like Mario's hair is brown but his stache is black.
Thank god for beer; without it the Irish would have conquered the world by now.

That's epic and i go to the gym too!

That would be very interesting! Everybody would be all hyped!

[Bomber7]

So yeah, for about the 100th time, someone (the same person all 100 times) in my smash community has tried to take the community by the reigns and get it organized. They asked for someone to come up with a banner for the facebook group and I came up with this.

It was highly approved of, but I'm pretty sure it got ignored by the guy who called for a banner to be made. I was gracious enough to bother putting Louisiana Smash, just so people would know what it was for.



TL;DR - I'm da best.

 

[Anonano]

I just wonder what will happen when said person decides to visit this forum and sees all of your venting/bragging here, ha ha. <3 bomber

Lol, I dunno, I just think it's flawed design. IMHO a character designer should focus more on how a character's tools and abilities help them hit more and get hit less rather than rewarding the player for taking hits to buff their character. I don't recall saying Lucario was OP, but maybe you meant someone else.
Lucario's biggest weaknesses in brawl were a bad recovery, average weight, and lousy kill options without aura, but he was a pretty good character despite that because of his solid moveset with decent frames and a host of very clever players making use of his lesser known tactics.

I just think they should give lucario a general buff treatment and improve his recovery offensively, and call it a day without dumb % mechanics
<3 Ano

EDIT: What up with all the drifloon smilies? ?

 

[Anonano]

No, I was just mentioning that he tends to be a pretty well balanced character. I never said that you said he was OP or anything, ha ha. You were just mentioning that its a weird mechanic and I just wanted to point out that weird as it is (because I agree with you that it is really weird) at least it worked. I feel that the aura mechanic really isn't all that fitting for the pokemon, but it's at least a new and different take on game mechanics. What I'm really interested in is what kind of mechanics you could do off of an aura-like mechanic. Technically get up and rolls from the edge have a damage mechanic that affects them, and so will just being on the ledge in general in Smash 4, so I'm really interested how that will affect Lucario. It could be that his huge buff will be negated by having less safe options even on the ledge at such high damages. I guess it'll just come down to his moveset and attributes in general at that point. *shrug*

 

[Rizen]

Up here I said Sakurai was boosting Aura power because Lucario's Aura wasn't OP enough, based on a comment about a daily pic.
http://smashboards.com/threads/le-lazy-lurking-links-listen-laugh-lounge-♪-。.254551/page-164#post-16280157
That was more me joking because Lucario is pretty rounded and Sakurai is buffing him. Similarly, Sakurai is buffing Marth's shield breaker. It's silly.

I actually don't go to the gym but I hike/walk/jog a lot and use hand weights and do sit ups. I had a nice 2 mile walk just now It's very slick and cold out.

Hey Ano, what's that character in your avatar?

 

[Anonano]

It's fanart of the Avian race from the new indie game Starbound.

I lol'ed when I saw it and thusly it became my avatar.

 

[Naroghin]

"EY I'm floOYin' hea!"

I would wonder why someone would be searching my name in a forum query in the first place.

^Vindictive ex-lover maybe?

Here's my sketch for today:

 

[Heero Yuy]

If Smash 4 Link's Dair is now a spike, does that mean Link will have his own Ken Combo (Fair --> Spike --> Instant KO yaaay)? It has to be set up with the Bair assuming his moveset is the same as the previous Smash games. Can be done with Falco in Melee as well as Wolf in Brawl.

 

[Naroghin]

I think only sweet spotting it out of the gate achieves a spike; that is, if they kept it in the first place. It would take spacing but I think you oculd totally get solid Ken combos off it.

 

[Rizen]

Judging by how few true combos Brawl has I doubt SSB4 will be a combo based game. Technically most things that are 'combos' can be escaped with good DI/SDI or teching the ground to prevent locks. The only truly inescapable combos are after a lock has been started and things guaranteed from grabs like CGs and release tricks. Banana infinites require a tech chase if I'm not mistake.

TBH I'm not excited about the possible Dair spike. If it lasted the whole 50ish frames of attack it could be an insanely good intercepting spike to KO but just at the start the spike's less useful. If Dair last as long as it does in Brawl Link would have to jump offstage>time Dair so the early spike frame hits, which makes him vulnerable, than wait out the attack and lag with a lot of risk while dropping offstage. The reason Dair is good is the long lasting attack wall can be started early (starts frame 13, not exactly a quick aerial) then moved and it beats or trades (better trade) with most aerials and outlasts dodges. Frame 1 Dairs usually hit from above the stage and are better to launch up with crazy power.
IMO better Dair buffs would be to have it always bounce even if FFed, not cause auto FF when started when not rising and give the landing lag a wind box like TL's Dair has.
Bair would be the better spiking aerial, a little like Lucas'.

 

[Bomber7]

^Vindictive ex-lover maybe?

Shhhh... we do not speak of her.

 

[link and ike lover]

It would be pretty cool if Nintendo put Demise in smash4. Anyone agree? Im going to be definitely maining link in smash4 like I did in the past 3 smash games. Hey who took a picture of me!!?!?!?!?! JK LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rizen]

Demise would be a cool alternate Ganon costume. I hope they rework Ganon to not be a CF clone anymore.
I'll always main Link for bad better or for worse.
A nice thing about maining Link is at least he's guaranteed for every smash game. I'm wondering if Wolf and Ganon will return and how they'll play. Both have high chances so I'm not worried. Lucario, TL and Ike were who I guessed would be least likely to return and 2 of them have already been confirmed.

 

[Anonano]

I'll be around if anybody wants to wifi in the next couple of hours.

EDIT: Do any of you play XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within? The game is awesome. It is very detailed. And it is very ragequite worthy when you group units around a uberpowered alien mechaniloid to get perfect accuracy shots, but forget the minor detail that it explodes upon death.

Very ragequit worthy. Very awesome.

I guess what I'm asking here is whether any of you can feel and understand the pain of XCOM. Oh, it is a glorious pain.

 

[Mr-R]

I still play link, I don't have any tournament accomplishments with him in regular singles but I've won alot of MM's against notable players with him. I can post a list if anyone is interested

 

[Naroghin]

Um, I'm fairly certain everyone is interested.
