Hey everyone,

I am trying to convince a friend to get a Wii U for smash bros (I have one and preordered) and he believes smash 4 is nothing but a HD version of brawl. If people could list changes big or small I would like to use them as an argument that they are not the same game as I have tried the 3ds version. Feedback would be appreciated!

Show him the 50 points direct. You don't even need to say a word. Just let him watch all of the direct.

If that does not make him want to buy SSB4 WiiU ASAP, nothing will.

These are my top 3:
1. Lots of new characters (14+ I think)
2. They game overall plays faster than Brawl.
3. The online multi-player options are bigger. 1v1? That alone sold it for me.

• Tons of new features
  • 8 Player Smash
  • New and improved Stage Builder
  • Overall improvements with online play (For Fun and For Glory)
  • Custom moves
  • Smash Tour
  • Master/Crazy orders
  • Redone Classic mode
  • Other new modes like trophy rush and target blast
  • Ω Forms for every stage
• Overall better gameplay than Brawl
  • Speed of the game is faster
  • No random tripping
• Cool new characters and stages (and more on the way)
• Amazing soundtrack and gorgeous graphics

Well, I would recommend talking about the competitive aspect and how it has been vastly improved upon and will continue to be improved through balance changes. Tell him about the expanded roster, custom moves, and overall how these characters feel. You should especially talk about the stages since many of them appear to be legal stages and fun ones at that. For more casual players, there are still a good deal of illegal stages and the items are spectacular, especially the Final Smashes. It is an overall fun experience packed with content.

Hey everyone,

On second thought, we don't need those people (just kidding)

Pretty much this. The direct is hype personified.

Wow, I can't thank everyone enough who responded to this thread. Really thankful for this guys, will take all of your suggestions. I'm gonna take this guy to GameStop very soon!

Just give him the controller & let him play for a bit. Then he'll know for sure it isn't a brawl clone. Better yet, if he's a casual, let him play as Little Mac. He'll think he's the best.

 

[LordVacation]

So that's what he thinks without watching even a second of gameplay, I'd assume?

 

[Mysteltainn]

Get him to watch the 50-Fact Extravaganza. If he's still not interested after that, then you may just need to part ways on the issue. Comparing this to Brawl at all seems to tell me that he hasn't watched any gameplay though. Also, Brawl is more or less dead since the online was taken down months ago... Aside from the SSE, there's really no reason to go back to it any more IMO once Sm4sh releases. Even the character cuts are debatable, since we may very well get them back through DLC (although the Ice Climbers are questionable).

That video does so much to promote the game and differentiate it from both Brawl and the 3DS version that he'd have to be in denial to keep his opinion after watching it.

Yeah the 50 facts extravaganza will be a win or loss.
