DK stage please!

I love unlocking things. It makes playing the game more fun. There's nothing more satisfying using a character you worked for, rather than simply selecting them.

 

[andalsoandy]

I'd rather they let Luigi be starter this time... people complained that most of the unlockable characters in Brawl were veterans... when most of the unlockable characters in Melee were newcomers.

Semi-Clones are typically unlockables, FYI.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Because characters don't have unique stats, there is just light, medium and heavy weight. They are essentially just reskins of every other character...

That doesn't mean they can't be unlockable.

 

[MasterofMonster]

I really don't see why 'unlockable characters' would be a 'thing in the past' just because some other Fighting games doesn't have them. Makes those fighting games very un-special, imo. Saying unlockable characters ruins the game is like saying 'not being able to play the Final World first in Mario is not fair!'. So, yeah, unlockable characters will still be here. ^^

But on topic. Pic should show up any second. Or with my luck, right Before I posted this.

 

[DragonRob20]

Am I the only one who thinks unlockable characters are an archaic design choice? I think we should just have the full roster from the get-go...

I actually agree with you. Seems every new fighter now is taking that page of "HAVE EVERYBODY FROM THE START!"

Super Street Fighter did it, MVC3, Tekken tag Tourny 2, Injustice, ect. Smash is somewhat leaning towards that too with some of its character reveals like Luigi, Toon Link and Marth

Semi-Clones are typically unlockables, FYI.

Lucas wasn't unlockable...

 

[Kenith]

Well, it's a proven fact (well, maybe not fact) that people get more enjoyment out of things they work for, or things they've accomplished. So unlockable characters do make people happy in that sense.

I, myself enjoy them. But I could easily see why they could be omitted.

edit: But why are we talking about unlockable characters here?

 

[PLATINUM7]

Because characters don't have unique stats, there is just light, medium and heavy weight. They are essentially just reskins of every other character...

They have stat bonuses. I MK Wii characters would have stuff like a bonus in handling or a bonus in drifting that would be different to other characters. Before they would even have unique karts.

 

[andalsoandy]

Jet Hammer Pic.

Eh.

 

[Dairz]

EDIT: CURSES. *STARES AT @ Dairz *

Anyways, I agree with you. Unlocking characters is like, the ultimate hype my first time playing a smash game.

Pic of the day. So far, which attack can blast away enemies the most dynamically… Is it King Dedede's fully charged Jet Hammer? Nah, it can't beat the K.O. uppercut. You can damage yourself by overcharging this attack, so watch out.

Lame....

 

[andalsoandy]

Lucas wasn't unlockable...

Ness was. One of them usually is. Jigglypuff was in 64, Falco was twice, and Ganon was twice.

 

[Xaltis]

So technically Dedede just got a little nerf?

 

[Silvera]

This is random.

 

[Radical Bones]

K.O uppercut is stronger than Dedede's Jet Hammer. Pretty boring picture. Luckily, Naruto is out so I have something else to look forward too. Wednesday's rock.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

The phrasing is so awkward....

 

[Starbound]

Dat Pikachu

It looks like Dedede passed gas and Pikachu got KOed.

Agreed, I would much rather have some of the roster locked at first, because I always feel so accomplished every time I unlock a new character that I wanted to play. Having every fighter unlocked at the start makes me feel a bit like... I have nothing forward to, you know? That's one thing I feel modern fighting games have really lost touch with - having characters added on by dlc and expansions feels too corporate and unnatural.

 

[praline]

So technically Dedede just got a little nerf?

No I'm pretty sure he could damage himself in brawl from it too.

 

[Arcadenik]

Ness was. One of them usually is. Jigglypuff was in 64, Falco was twice, and Ganon was twice.

Ness and Jigglypuff aren't clones... I thought we were talking about clones...

 

[PLATINUM7]

I think I need help. I looked at the pic for about a minute before realising it was a new PotD.

 

[Kenith]

Lame....

Ha ha, we are all so spoiled. Get three new bits of consecutive info, two Assist Trophies and a stage hazard, and detest anything less.

 

[Sehnsucht]

I sometimes damage myself by overcharging my Jet Hammer.

When playing Brawl, that is.

 

[Forcerounds]

What nutritional supplements does it take to be able to punch harder than a rocket hammer's impact?

In b4 chocolate.

 

[DragonRob20]

What a lame PotD.....This is honestly why they need to bring back DOJO! I never felt disappointed when he updated stuff like character moves, detailed stages and MUSIC!

 

[BeatNinja]

Yep, meh picture. Jet Hammer was always Dedede's worst special.

K.O uppercut is stronger than Dedede's Jet Hammer. Pretty boring picture. Luckily, Naruto is out so I have something else to look forward too. Wednesday's rock.

Lookin' forward to One Piece?

 

[JamesDNaux]

Well, I got the king part right at least.

 

[Radical Bones]

Simply from a grammatical point of view, this PotD is a mess.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Boring pic indeed,
I think he just means a fully charged one of those is the 2nd strongest move in the game, after that KO uppercut thing. I'm still not interested in it really.

 

[andalsoandy]

Ness and Jigglypuff aren't clones... I thought we were talking about clones...

Jigglypuff was a semi-clone in 64.

Lucas is technically a clone of Ness, but Lucas was kept as a starter in favor of giving Ness his unlockablility status back. Either way, one of them was unlockable while the other was not.

I don't wanna go even more off-topic here.

Pic was lame. I'm going to bed.

 

[Arcadenik]

Nothing to see here... King Dedede's Down+B didn't get nerfed... Sakurai just said that Little Mac's neutral B move is stronger than King Dedede's Down+B...

 

[Xaltis]

No I'm pretty sure he could damage himself in brawl from it too.

No I don't think so. Then there would be no point to showing this picture, and Sakurai telling us it could damage you.

 

[Kenith]

I sometimes damage myself by overcharging my Jet Hammer.

When playing Brawl, that is.

I enjoy how that sentence can be read in two different ways.

 

[andimidna]

The phrasing is so awkward....

Read the words after the ellipsis like it's part of the same question.

 

[Radical Bones]

Lookin' forward to One Piece?

I'm so excited this week. Hopefully we've gotten all the talking out of the way for a few more weeks, there's a lot of fighting going on!

 

[gamer8]

We already pretty much saw this with Dedede's release pictures... Oh well. Hopefully something exciting at the end of this week. When is that Yoshi game coming out?

 

[andalsoandy]

No I don't think so. Then there would be no point to showing this picture, and Sakurai telling us it could damage you.

It did do damage to Dedede in Brawl.

The pic was pointless.
