I honestly hope that it is something a little more interesting than just a beam. Hopefully the whole thing is a cutscene, like Falcon's FS.
Right? And for a Final Smash this was way more than I would've asked/hoped for, I was thinking at best Mega Man might receive a Rush Armor upgrade as a Final Smash and function similar to Yoshi's Final Smash. But not only do we get one Mega Man, we get ****ing five of them!
No, the Final Smash is awesome. I didn't expect anything new either. I hoped, but that was it. He could've named it for us. The actual Miiverse post seems like he could be hinting at the name "Legends Unite" or something like that. But beyond that, it was just a picture from the Direct with the only thing he did was list who was on there... something people already knew. It was still nice to do in general for those who don't, mind you.
Yeah I totally agree. That and just the announcer in general for Brawl was suuuuch a step down from the last 2. I hope for Smash 4 the announcer really gets some "oomph" back in it. Overall Brawl had great potential but the execution was kindof sloppy. Its more like a simple Melee expansion that never really went anywhere. Subspace, the music, and stage creator were big ideas that took big steps foward, but besides the music they all fell short of what they hoped to be. Subspace was shallow and bare-bones while stage creator was far too limited. Yes Brawl did do a lot of good things, but overall a lot of things in the game can be explained as "this is good but really fell short". Smash 4 tho already looks to be a MASSIVE improvement to Brawl, and Ill probably end up playing it for years rather than getting rid of it like I did Brawl lol.
The difference here is it's the same information we saw. It's information that we absorbed within seconds of watching the Direct. And it just keeps coming night after night. With the filler fest of October there was always a chance of getting something great, with this we know it's not just going to be nothing, but it's nothing we already know. It may not have killed the hype for the game in general, but it has killed most of the hype the Direct generated. For me anyway.
Yes, I think it would be quite jarring and odd looking for them to suddenly cut out of the cinematic, and then the 5 of them start shooting beams all over the place.
I was only making a general statement that was directed at no one in particular. I know there are many here that feel we have no right to complain about any lack of information regarding this game.
Yeaaah, the Melee announcer still gets me ready to put up my dukes! Whether he says "TIME!" or "Home-Run Contest!!" I'm excited. The Brawl guy... I'm not sure why, but he really was a let down, huh? Can't put my finger on why. Can't be the robotic kinda filter Melee guy had, is it? Not sure. And yeah, agreed. I hear wayyy too many people and studios worked on brawl and things got chaotic, cause some people worked on something and others tried to build off of that without fully understanding this or that, so eh... But I am so glad that subspace is not returning! I'm all for creative new enemies, but...why not use enemies from aaall these franchises ya got together? And why go to generic areas like "The Lake" when you can go to Hyrule Castle or the Pokemon League? I'm sure the Wii U exclusive mode is ganna be a blast, Smash Run on 3DS already looks more fun and awesome. Stage builder could easily be better. I'd like to add backgrounds from other stages or draw my own maybe, I dunno.
I always guessed the green alt is supposed to be Quint, a boss from Megaman II(the gameboy one) who is an evil Megaman from the future, and thus is mostly identical to Megaman with some minor modifications like Protoman, so he makes a lot of sense as a palate swap. Or it could be sniper Joe like you said. Or they just wanted a green color and it doesn't mean anything.
No thanks
The melee announcer quickly became memorable the way he says "camera" or "super sudden death" really just want you to play the game. The brawl guy on the opposite does NOT become memorable. It's like the melee voice is yelling (but not too much) while the brawl voice is almost talking normally which makes no sense. oh and he doesn't yell super smash bros which was also great in melee. Hopefully, this one will be better than the brawl one.
Yeah... Brawl announcer sounded really generic somehow. Hope this new guy is exciting but doesn't yell to the point where he is overdoing it! If only we got dojo updates instead of pics, I'd love to hear the announcer already! Hopefully they have one in a demo at E3.
I think it was that the Melee and 64 announcers were just that:announcers, that and they had mad voice reverb that made it 10,000 times more amazing. The problem with Brawls was his voice was too plain, with no effects, and he sounded more like he was trying to imitate an epic announcer rather than just being one. Personally I didnt like Subspace at all for the exact reasons you said, but I liked that it existed because it gave future games a foundation to build on. Unfortunately that was squandered. Yeah the themes and backgrounds for Stage Builder were too limiting. To be able to import your own, use ones based on established franchises, or just have a larger selection of basic ones would have been better. Another problem was that walk-off stages werent possible, you could only make floating stages. Granted you could exploit it and trick it into having a walk-off on the right side but that was it and only worked with small and sometimes medium stages. I could go on forever about stage builder improvements lol
As I previously said in an earlier picture, the Beam Sword features a color gradient! Here's another picture of it!
No no no.
HELLO! :D
I don't even have a problem if they're from the Direct, just as long as he explains them more than he already did.
im new in this place lol.
You look pretty old to me.im new in this place lol.
I kinda meant new screenshots as in with stuff we haven't seen in the direct/ press pics.
But... you have over 200 posts. XDim new in this place lol.
I kinda meant new screenshots as in with stuff we haven't seen in the direct/ press pics.
well only recently I have been here and around the wii u dicussions....You look pretty old to me.
I also hope we get something new. But i really don't think were going to get anything worth real mention anytime soon. Well i hope not. but it seems so.
Yeah, I think so... I suppose you're right but I feel like I'll be pondering and comparing why Melee atmospherically immersed me so very much. It isn't just nostalgia is it? It was my first console game, but only after I saw the mysterious Smash64 at a summer camp and witnessed unlocking characters and Master Hand! Subspace, might've been exciting the first time, but I remember wishing the levels were shorter to watch more cutscenes even then. Looking back, now that I've been awarded with all the cutscenes and characters, I would really never go back and do it all over again, whereas in Melee, I take out my memory card and find joy in adventure mode and unlocking characters all the time! Sometimes I see how fast I can get em all, besides Mewtwo and G&W I guess XD
Well when else do you think Meta Knight could be announced?
E3?
Isn't it the 22nd anniversary of the Kirby series?
I really don't think E3 will have any veterans announced because ... well my reasoning is just a bit above. Basically, they have to start with a bang (newcomers) and any veterans after that will just be overshadowed. They really get their time in the spotlight during pic of the days. Random date? Maybe... but that doesnt seem as reasonable to me than at the end of this week with a Kirby title release.
Well E3 last year screwed up showing off all those veterans. Why can't Meta Knight just be shown in gameplay without actually having much focus like the veterans in the direct?
