Big Black Fighter Fridays, everyone!

I like how the weight/size of your Mii carries over into Smash. That's something a lot of people wanted, since I think that also carries over to Miis in the Mario Kart games.

It's just a shame that they can't be used "With Anyone"

I've seen, like, one today in this thread. It's a non-issue at the moment, really.
Ridley is so big, Mods won't even bother removing the Big Jokes!

...

I'll be quiet.

Anyways, I am surprised in how people reacted to today's pic. :/ We finally know the Miis will have different sizes, which was a big deal BEFORE the Miis were revealed. Now people call this a Filler..?

Yes. Miis will be banned in tournaments. Oh no.

We already suspected this. Let's at least have fun with them in our casual gametime.

So anyone who dislikes Mii's is boring?

That's a loooooooooooot of boring people. :troll:
Nono, anyone is allowed to not like them for whatever reason.

You alone are the boring one. I meant it especially for you. It's just how much I care. <3

Enjoy your infraction.

In all seriousness I'm completely over the Mii's inclusion. I just don't understand why they're getting so much special treatment over the other Nintendo characters. I would have preferred a single, focused moveset as opposed to 3 separate fighting styles as well as all of the other shenanigans.

That's easy. Because that would've been the bland and predictable thing to do.

And well all know Sakurai won't stand for that "predictability" ****.

Bummer about this update. I was really excited about seeing Bill Cosby in tournaments. Damn it Sakurai, you got carried away.

If this is the closest we're going to get to a heavy weight newcomer I'm going to get rather pissy. I'm also a bit tired of Mii updates already, probably because I dislike them, why don't Pac-Man or Palutena get some updates? And that takes a lot for me to say because I don't even like them either.

That's interesting... and kinda inconvenient. Mii Maker is absurdly slow so we really just can't use it in the middle of a tournament. If the Miis have three preset sizes like Mario Kart, we can just have pre-made Miis on each set-up to accomodate this character. By this character I really mean these three characters; suggesting we ban Mii Fighter if it's at all possible to avoid is really not reasonable since it's three entire characters which is a really large and profound chunk of gameplay (if it were Mario, Link, and Pikachu, no one would question how clear it is that banning these characters is a very last resort action). If it's really some continuous spectrum and the game doesn't offer a default, we might have to just agree on a forced standard (IMO the best solution there would be default Mii size parameters out of the Mii Maker), and we'd have to rely on good faith in people preparing set-ups not to doctor Miis to alter gameplay though we kinda already do that with Brawl and Project M given that it's really easy with current tech to load up doctored files for either game to give yourself a sneaky edge (though I've never heard of anyone actually doing it in a tournament).

I'm kinda thinking with all of these customization features and the unrevealed 3DS connectivity that maybe this is the connectivity feature: importing all of these settings saved on a 3DS to the Wii U on the fly. That would make setting a million fine parameters on Miis or picking out super specific customization stuff really fast and easy in a tournament setting though perhaps it's not reasonable to suggest people drop the $150ish to buy a 3DS and copy of smash 3DS to enter Wii U tournaments and not be at a disadvantage. This is kinda a second picture in a row showing something that is kinda not so great, but we'll see how it plays out when we have everything in our hands I guess.

While this is a cool feature, I think that being able to alter their height/weight during the fighter customization process would take it another step forward. Sure, it's nice to have their physical characteristics carry over into the game, initially. But if my Mii's a big boi and I want him to be more speedy, then I think it would be great to be able to alter that in the game and not be stuck with having to change my Mii altogether in Mii Maker.

As Mii Fighters won't be available in online, and the assumed issues of having to remake them every time, no standard default (we may not even allow custom moves in general, how can we create a standard Mii without defaults? [Palutena apparently will be the same problem too ;\]), it won't be hard to convince me that they shouldn't be legal in tournament play.

I'd much rather let Sakurai go "nuts" on things that don't have any place in competitive play to appease different audiences. You could do custom fighters in Brawl in single player (well with a sidekick if you had one) and obviously would've liked to have it taken to the next level. Doesn't mean we need to make it apart of competition.

There should be more leaks like this though. Easily/immediately de-bunkable ones that at least keep me more interested in each upcoming PotD.
Hey I have a friend that told me that Ridley would be unveiled as a boss on Pyrosphere on Tuesday of next week.

How's that? :alien:

Sure is a lot of effort being put into customizable stuff you can't even use online against anonymous players. Seems like a waste.

I agree with Senator @ Shaya Shaya , I doubt Miis would be used competitively. The competitive scene doesn't make up the entirety or majority of Smash players. I for one will definitely be using them when not playing "competively."

Shoot, accidental double post. I'll need some big boi moderator to please give me a warning and a PM and delete this post ASAP.

Oh thanks Mahou Shounen @ Shaya Shaya for the merge, do you dislike the connotations "Senator" carries or do you simply find the titles you listed below to be superior and more fitting for you? I'm guessing it's the latter, but if it's both I find that understandable. :p

There really should be a "For BANNED" mode in anyone online, that only allows custom aspects of Smash 4.

That would fix everything!

Hilarity would surely ensue when people get online banned from For Banned mode.

But yes, I like the idea of a mode that allows custom aspects online with strangers. Would need a different name though.

Every Wii U has default Miis. You can access them in games like Nintendoland. At this point though I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.

Miis themselves have so little to customise, that they're just full of *. LOL and I saw somebody there say, that people who don't like miis are boring. RIGHT.

in other news
did we get anything noteworthy this week? i mean... Link's palette swap was cool and all but... this is like a last-July style week. literally nothing to make me want to play this game was shown off this week.

So what happens if Nabbit shows up on Mushroom Kingdom U in the Japanese exhibit?

Or, clouds forbid, Pyrosphere is playable.
Judging from the website it seems it's only the 3DS version that's available, so neither will happen.

The biggest reason Mii Fighters aren't used in With Anyone mode is in order to avoid copyright issues with any characters outside of the realm of Nintendo. It really doesn't have anything to do with gameplay.

I don't see what the big problem with Miis is. They have always been customizable, and that isn't changing in Smash Bros. Brawler, Swordfighter, Gunner. You can customize their fighting types. May be a little surprising, but expected. Their height and weight affect characteristics. Not surprising at all. Customizing special moves. With the new customizing characters mechanic, this shouldn't come off as surprising to anyone.

I also don't understand how them not being available against anyone makes them a waste. Smash is played across the world with friends locally, so this isn't a waste at all. Many people will be creating crazy Miis to play against their friends locally. Sakurai has effectively transferred the deeply customizable personality of Miis into Smash Bros. Just because their moves can be customized more doesn't they're getting more attention.

Some of you really need to chill.

I honestly doubt that is the reason. Nintendo couldn't (or at least shouldn't) get sued for something the user base creates.
Should Sony face copyright issues everytime someone makes a Super Mario level on LittleBigPlanet? No.

And Nintendo didn't seem to worry about using the likeliness of Elijah Wood, Ice-T and Shinya Arino in the Mii trailer. Why would they worry if people used Master Chief or Shrek Miis?

No. I can't find the article, but that was a big reason Miis aren't included against anyone. That wasn't my main point regardless.

I know it wasn't your main point, but my point was focused on that point.

Point point point point

Anyone think we'll get a character in a PotD next month?
