New Smash Bros for WiiU

[Big-Cat]

I've heard the reviews are full of double standards in some cases. What may not bat an eye in Call of Duty or Uncharted will be given Hell in Zelda. Then there's people complaining about the controls.

IMO, I can't go back and play the older console Zelda games after this. How they streamlined the item selection and everything else is just amazing. The older games just seem inefficient. Story's great too. Currently, I'm in the fourth dungeon. Backtracking's not that bad as the difficulty of baddies goes up as you go through. Not only that, but the bird statues make it a lot easier. Not as quick as OoT's warping, but you do have more options. The only thing I think could use some work is the harp playing, but I think that's me as I've gotten better with it.

 

[Zzuxon]

Oh yeah someone brought something interesting over at Gamefaqs a few months ago... what do you guys think of a Hotel Dusk rep? I don't think it's a very well known Nintendo game but I heard it was pretty good.

On the topic of surprise misc. charcters, what do you think of the fossil fighter? I think either of those would be great DLC characters, and regular characters in SSB5.

 

[Conviction]

I'm doing the Chandelier Sidequest atm

Amazing game, the old ones do seem, weak compared to this now.

 

[Starphoenix]

Hopefully I will be able to pick up the game tomorrow. Looking forward to it if I am able to land a copy.

 

[---]

Meh, I'm not a big Zelda fan at all, I've just never really enjoyed them, except for the Original and Minish Cap.

Do you need Motion Plus to play SS?


It also seems everyone's getting new avatars, I might as well too.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Motion Plus is required. If you pre-ordered it, you get it free. If not, you'll have to buy it. They're not too pricey.

 

[Conviction]

Well me and Augusto's avi changed was planned.

We are just waiting on the others to follow through.

 

[Starphoenix]

Motion Plus is required. If you pre-ordered it, you get it free. If not, you'll have to buy it. They're not too pricey.

Yeah, it will be cheaper to just get the add on versus an entirely new Wiimote.

Well me and Augusto's avi changed was planned.

We are just waiting on the others to follow through.

Well I joined in after seeing the off topic thread in the SSB4 group.

Where is it? Technically, I already changed my avatar.

 

[---]

@SSBF: Probably in the other SSB4 group, we're not members yet so it's something we don't know about anyway.

Oh well I was planning on changing mine soon anyway, the Zero MMX joke has run it's course.


Did anyone else see the Sakurai Samurai news?

I did and it looks to be a good game.

Pretty much. Although you can buy the Plus parts separate now, I believe.

I can't think of much from that game. Sorry.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

@Try-Hyphen: Well, it doesn't mean Takamaru will never get a new game. He still could.

Then again, we still could get a new Quest game, but eh.

 

[---]

Oops I miss read the article, it never decomfirmed that it isn't Takamaru, so there's still hope.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

F'ing. Sweet.

That gives hope for a Samurai! ...Admittably, I'd like Goroh either way.

 

[---]

Takamaru would be way different than Goroh.

Takamaru, IMO, is more like a ninja than a samurai, with all of his projectiles.


Besides who wouldn't want an epic Samurai fight between the two?

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

To be fair, how often have we seen Goroh fight anyway? That's why I wouldn't say they'd be same or different.

And I would.

Then again, any Samurai would be sweet. Well, except for Samurai Pizza Cats being Anime only.

 

[Aurane]

Samurais? Kat and Ana for Sm4sh

 

[augustoflores]

i have a strong feeling that takamaru's appearance will not be what he looked like in samurai warriors.

i don't particularly like the captain rainbow/sakura samurai look, but we'll probably get that.

of course , i may just have a bias for the Koei design because i freakin love Dynasty Warriors character designs.

 

[---]

Either that or a redesign like Pit.

But I'm still betting on his Samurai Warriors look.

Super Smash Bros. 4's Top Roster Candidates v2

Super Smash Bros. 4 has been announced and the one thing that pops into almost everyone's head is which character they want to see in SSB4. Another thing that the fans are curious about is who are the most popular roster candidates. This should give a good insight on what the fans want to see and who are the most popular candidates.

In order to participate, post your votes via thread post and I shall go through and tally the numbers. Each day, you are allowed to vote for up to five candidates (only one vote per candidate) until the voting has ended (you are free to vote for a different candidate the next day). Then whoever comes out on the Top 20 will be in a showdown of who is the most wanted in which the Top Five will be declared the "Most Wanted Character" for SSB4. When this come, you only get to pick one candidate.

Rules:
1. Follow the rules of the site. I cannot stress this enough.
2. Respect the choices that others have made. You may not like a character's choices, but you do not have the right to flame what the person choose. They made the choice and it stays.
3. You are free to suggest additions to the roster, but if they have not appeared on a Nintendo console or did not appear in a video game, I will not add them to the list. Note that I will not restart the day just because I add a character.
4. Don't vote a character because you expect them or to troll the roster. Likelihood =/= what you want. Understand that this is purely for what you want to see, not what you think is likely to happen. And if you think trolling the poll is a good idea, not only will your votes be taken away, I will also report you for trolling.
5. Since this place is on GameFAQs, Smashboards, and Youtube, I hold you all to a honor system in which you only vote in one of these places per day to make sure the results are accurate.
6. Only one vote can go to a single candidate in a day. That means you cannot vote x2, x3, x4, or x5 for a candidate, you have to pick someone else for your vote. That said, you do not have to use all five votes, although it is recommended you do.

Failing to comply with the rules will result in losing your votes and the ability to participate in this poll.

[COLLAPSE="FAQs"]How long will this round last?
This will be from December 1st at 6:00 PM CST to December 31th, 2011.

What about for the Top 20?
That will be from January 1st, 2012 to January 31th, 2012.

Will you provide updates as the thread goes on?
Yes and they will be daily.

Where are you hosting this event?
In here, GameFAQs, and Youtube.

Where will they be at?
Smashboards will take place in the upcoming user blog dedicated to it. GameFAQs will have threads dedicated to it, and Youtube will be on the video that starts the contest.

Blog sounds good. Who's "My Unit"? Or is that for write-in votes?

My Unit is basically the male or female counter partner that you create in FE12 that plays an important role in that game. I don't think he is getting in nor do I want him, but I know a certain someone does.

Ah, gotcha. Might be a similar sense to how Pokemon Trainer is named by his class then. Sweet.

 

[Doug31]

Should Sylux be on the list? I thought a lot of people wanted him.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Should Sylux be on the list? I thought a lot of people wanted him.

He's the only hunter I've heard of with any fanbase. I think most of the hunters have less popularity in general due to being too similar to Samus.

Clones are not the most popular in Smash, soooo...(that's my personal reason for Ridley over Sylus, even Dark Samus). But eh.

Not sure why he's not.

 

[augustoflores]

before smashboards, i did support sylux... but now... ehh...

also, i drew up a moveset for Dark Samus... she does not play like Samus at all... it's centered on her up B i made for her mostly... i made it cause i've been playing Metroid prime 2... so the moveset is based on her from that game... don't know what she does in prime 3.

oh, and i love variations... i have suggested Donkey Kong and Peach get aerial down B's... but for Dark Samus, i made it where Up B makes every other B move do a variant on the regular B moves.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I misspoke. I like Dark Samus and Ridley over Sylux because they wouldn't be clones.

Oh, do you mean Down B's in the air? I agree. I think it's silly they don't. DK could have a roll attack, and maybe Peach could adopt the classic Mario Party buttstomp?

 

[Berserker.]

I also heard about the new Mario & Sonic game. They announced 20 characters. What I find odd is that Waluigi is playable before Toad.(and so is Bowser Jr.) Makes you wonder if the "deserving" argument really holds much water. No Diddy so far either. Or Rouge.

I also find it weird that Waluigi and Jr. aren't in MK 7.

Wait until someone says that spin offs aren't a factor in inclusions then both points are shut down.

The deserving argument holds no water btw. It's only dependant on Sakurai, nintendo, popularity (A little) and importance to nintendo and to the respective series. Deserving is seriously subjective and I doubt that Sakurai would give a damn about it.

OH and also (If you were wondering), Toad has much more than being "deserving" if you were thinking about..... Ah screw it. Why do I have the feeling that you're trying to shoot down Toad into an unlikely candidate? Just asking falcon

Gameplay topic: Only thing I want are smash specials. Ya know.... Like if you click A + B, Mario will throw out a powerful and bigger fireball or something.

[collapse=Wolf]
Forward B - Ravage

Wolf lunges and rapidly slashes forward. Each slash deals 3% damage making a total of 15% damage. This move has high priority. (Kinda resembles to berserker barrage I guess)

Down B - Claw spin

Wolf does some circular motion slash attack. YA KNOW.....Like MK's nair except he uses his claws. It deals 10% damage. It's great to use in the middle of combos. This can also reflect by the way...

Up B - Rising claw

Wolf rises upward and slashes. It's like Marth's up B except it's safer in the ending lag.[/collapse]

 

[Oasis_S]

OH and also (If you were wondering), Toad has much more than being "deserving" if you were thinking about..... Ah screw it. Why do I have the feeling that you're trying to shoot down Toad into an unlikely candidate? Just asking falcon

Hyperfalcon is HyperDisagreeable.

It is equally fun to imagine Dixie Kong's palette swaps as it is Toad's.

 

[Berserker.]

No one says "Do some research" anymore..... D:

By the way, what do you think about my Wolf revamp?

 

[Oasis_S]

For the sake of FLASHINESS, it'd be neat if he stood still for a moment, you saw a little TWINKLE in his eye like some anime junk, and he kind of APPEARS a certain distance away in whatever direction you had pressed to deliver a BIG SLASH. A lot like Lyn, actually. For an... Up Special I guess.

I'm not really expecting any changes though.

 

[Berserker.]

HMM.... Wait.... Does this have some noticeable ending lag?

About the changes, I'm not too but I have fun doing this.

 

[Oasis_S]

Probably so. Would also put you into a HELPLESS STATE.

 

[Zap tackle]

I also heard about the new Mario & Sonic game. They announced 20 characters. What I find odd is that Waluigi is playable before Toad.(and so is Bowser Jr.) Makes you wonder if the "deserving" argument really holds much water. No Diddy so far either. Or Rouge.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that the reason why Toad is not playable in the Mario & Sonic Olympic games is because the developers want to establish him as one of the main hosts alongside Cream the Rabbit. I'm pretty sure that if they wanted him to be playable they would have done that by now anyways. Regardless, Toad had the role as the Party Mode host since the first game (like a tribute to Toad's role in the original Mario Party games).

However, Sega and Nintendo did not forget about Toad as they still allow you to unlock Toad as a costume for your Mii in the London 2012 Olympics.

 

[Berserker.]

GASP. That means he's punishabl---- Well... There's always the forward b I guess (Not that it will happen though).

@Zap: Don't worry Zap. There's always MK 7 where Jr. and Waaaaaluigi isn't in (If we go by his logic). And guess what's more liked? Mario Kart or Mario and Sonic?

@HF: OH and one more thing about spin offs, isn't Toad playable in spin offs also :U ? I MEAN... The legit ones mostly? Like MK 7, Sports games and Mario Party (Sort of). This time, don't try using the excuse, "That's not Toad! It's just a colored red/blue/yellow Toad or some other generic Toad" just like how you say that in other Mainstream games like Mario Galaxy, Sunshine and Super Mario Bros (Even Sakurai thinks Toad appeared here..... and nintendo). In fact.... I'm betting everyone has the notion that Toad appeared in every Mario game even without thinking about the whole color thing. LOL. If you're saying Waluigi is more important than Toad then you're practically saying that he's more important than pretty much the cast in the spin offs

 

[Zap tackle]

^Mario Kart by a long shot of course! :D Thanks though Berserker.

Though it doesn't seem that the London M&S got much attention from what I have seen.

 

[Berserker.]

Hmm... Seems like the thread became quiet....
