Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

Wii Fit Trainer was a perfect addition, don't know what everyone's getting worked up about. She isn't obscure at all (everyone may not know her specifically but they should know Wii Fit) and adds diversity.

Do you guys really want a predictable roster of K. Rool, Isaac, Shulk, etc. as the only newcomers? If so, fine, but that would be boring imo.

Shulk and Isasc... predictable? I thought the better example would have been Mewtwo, Palutena, Ridley and Little Mac. Haha.

 

[iam8bit]

Not exactly.

F-Zero anniversary is pretty relevant.

Huh?

Is "F-Zero Anniversary" a game? I don't get it.

They meant F-Zero's anniversary.

 

[iam8bit]

I just the hope the "For WiiU / 3DS" won't appear on the actual cover. I like the fact that it's simply Super Smash Bros.

But, that's the title of the original...

I really hope they change the title actually. They did it for Mario Kart 7, so it can happen.

They meant F-Zero's anniversary.

Why would he bring that up, though?

I was talking about Falcon's design (and F-Zero stages) having no new games to draw inspiration from, since the last F-Zero game was released before Brawl.

That anniversary mention was so random.

 

[Kapus]

How were Ice Climbers important to Nintendo? Were they very popular in Japan or something?

I think they might have been the first IP they owned or something. Don't remember.

Personally, I think it's good to branch out to more obscure and retro characters every once in a while (each Smash game after 64 has introduced two retros to the roster). I think it makes the roster more colorful, varied and interesting. It gives a chance for older and lesser-known characters to step into the spotlight and shine for a while. This is a celebration of all things Nintendo, so why not?


Also, how on earth did this topic shift to this conversation, anyway? This is about daily Miiverse pictures.

You know, I said it at the time, and I'll say it again.

I think WFT's inclusion was not based at all on her/him as a character, but more as the moveset they could create with that character. I imagine one of the developers threw it out in a spitballing session, and the team started thinking about workout moves as a moveset and thought it would be funny and fun to play with.

In other words, I prefer to think of the character's inclusion this way: The character was chosen specifically to be fun, rather than as an "important" character for Nintendo... and honestly? I agree with that decision. WFT looks hilarious to play as, and is definitely a unique character, in terms of moveset. While I agree that it was a crazy left-field decision, I think it was a positive sign of the choices they are making in development.

That's just my $0.02

That is the thing though, he was tolerable in Smash 64 and Melee. He was my best character easily. The second I tried Brawl's iteration I knew something was up. Luckily I didn't spoil anything when Brawl was released in Japan. I was super surprised at Toon Link being in the game, he was literally my knight in shining armor.

Links Spin in Melee was godlike.

The idea behind smash is pitting your favorite Nintendo characters against each other, and fighting games are literally about the characters. WFT is no ones favorite outside of Smash, and no one really wants to see "ohhh Im so pumped to see WFT versus Ganondorf. SO classic." I think that basic idea has been lost over the years. Not that its an overall BAD thing, but it doesnt help its case either.

I don't disagree with the overall statement of your post, but nearly every fighting game has extreme left-field characters that nobody would have wanted... Mokujin or the bears in tekken, take your pick (hakan, Dan, Seth, Charlie, etc) in SF, etc etc. (Note, I like some of these characters, and am not trying to flame them... just saying that, on paper, these chars aren't appealing)

Now for Smash, yes, the overall point is "Nintendo's all-stars battling each other". but at this point, we have most of the super-important characters already included... characters beyond this point are practically based on opinion of whoever people want (Although I truly think Isaac was robbed to have not been playable previously). So if the developers decide to include a character (who was in a game that brought them a TON of sales) simply because she/he will be fun to play? I'm ok with that... Obviously, you want to grab other characters that are more important to actual gamers (hello, Megaman), but for 1 or 2 random fun-time characters to be included is not a misstep by the developers, imo.

Well... we are still missing Toad.

 

[sWiTcHeRoO [疾~斬]]

Mario has so many reps though (if you count the DK, Wario and Yoshi sub-series that is).

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Sakurai doesn't so neither should we.

 

[APC99]

So, we got capsule redesign... more hope is given to Toad fans everywhere.

I'm hoping that this means November will be an eventful month, considering Nintendo's top 3 franchises had/ will have releases in October and November. Hopefully we'll see 2 characters a month from now on.

In terms of Tekken its a little different because all of those characters are original and made FOR that game.

Yes I do see what you mean and there is only so many characters you can pull from, but they havent done so to this point as well as they could have such as your example with Isaac. Im all for a silly character, maybe 2, but some arent even that. ROB, Ice Climbers, Lucas, arguably Game and Watch and Toon Link, and Snake are all non-joke characters that no one particularly looks at and thinks (in terms of Nintendo at least) "it would be cool if this character fought this character" and were added for the sake of "diversity" and such. Or like Pichu, arguably Young Link, and Dr Mario in Melee. You dont lose anything by adding more important or demanded characters. The only time this wouldnt really apply is with characters like Marth and Roy who were sort of inching their way into their American debut.

This month has been very good so far.

Just wait. Tomorrow we'll have a stupid picture. Which reminds me, I hope to see Princess Peach or DK tomorrow.

I am not seeing the correlation. How does this give hope to Toad fans?

If he had time to change the capsule design he can have the time change peach's moveset yada yada yada.....

 

[ChickenWing13]

Huh?

Yeah its a re-release of F-Zero (SNES) on WiiU VC

I believe it is part of the Famicom 30th anniversary.

How does this give hope to Toad fans exactly.

Many people believe that redesigns mean a redesign of Toad to Toadsworth, or a new move entirely. I'm skeptical on that particular opinion.

 

[NitrusVirus]

That Toad **** of all things is grasping at straws at this point. Im excited to see the new Beam Sword design, and hoping to GOD the Golden Hammer gets ****ing nixed.

People think since they redesigned the capsule since it's first appearance in the game, they'll change Toad to Toadsworth so Toad can be playable.

But isn't that the point of an item?

 

[Autumn ♫]

Even without the change of the Capsule, I still supported Toad, so I have to say, I'm impressed with myself.

 

[TumblrFamous]

I'm liking new and returning items, but I generally play with items off, so it doesn't bother me (though I'm excited to see the Beam Sword and the Warp Star). I'd also like to see some more Final Smashes. I don't care if it's Megaman's or Villager's just some returning ones would be nice.

I do agree that the Toad idea is a bit farfetched at this point. Though there is a possibility that he may include the Blue Toad as a character, I guess. Like, Peach's Toad Counter represents the servant Toad, while the playable Toad represents the race, I guess? I dunno, I'd rather have Jr. or Paper Mario (or realistically no Mario newcomer at all).

Megamans FS should be his big robot form from MvC lol
I play with items on and off depending so Im on both sides of the fence.

[BluePikmin11]

Items are quite meant to be overpowered and fun, in my point of view.

I dont care about that, I mean get rid of the gold hammer because it was stupid and pointless. They nerfed the original hammer and made an OP gold one. Like, the **** was the point of that? Waste of an item. The single hammer was fine and great on its own. The fear the original hammers invoked in foes in Melee and 64 was CLASSIC.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Wait till we get the Ultra Hammer.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Agreed.

When I was younger, I used to be amazing, or I thought I was amazing. Then I decided how much different it'd be when I had items off. I sucked, so I decided to toughen up and get better at the game. It was difficult for my child brain to process that the items gave me an edge.

 

[NitrusVirus]

Wait till we get the Ultra Hammer.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

I just typed up a rather large post, replying to a lot of all of your posts, and exposing a few of you, (one of you in particular), of being infuriating morons. However, I refreshed the page to find that my post had never gone through, and like the infuriating moron that I am, I forgot to copy it. It's lost forever.

In summation, WHY THE HELL DO YOU COME HERE EVERYDAY AND CALL SAKURAI A DUMBASS, ON A SITE DEDICATED TO THE APPRECIATION OF A GAME SERIES THAT WE WOULD NEVER HAVE WITHOUT HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE?

If his decisions are so bad, go to Japan and take over development. I'm sure you're more than qualified. But you better be fast, after all, the game comes out next week, and the 18 characters we have now are all we're gonna get.

People want more. By nature we're egotistical selfish monsters who trample over everyone in our paths. It doesn't excuse the behavior, but all people want are things that only benefit them.

Maybe Viridi wasn't all that wrong in Uprising...

Lol so much .

@morbid he's probably directing it at that one dude with the ridley avi, that was complaining about the lack of good updates. If its at me (which it isn't) but if it is.... lol way off base man....

chill out dude its the internets... people say dumb things, don't let it get you worked up, its bad for you i hear.

 

[ChickenWing13]

Why would he bring that up, though?

I was talking about Falcon's design (and F-Zero stages) having no new games to draw inspiration from, since the last F-Zero game was released before Brawl.

That anniversary mention was so random.

Oh my bad dude.

I thought you were implying something along the lines of "Falcon aint gonna make the cut bcuz of no game promotong after brawl."

Sry to confuse you =P
