New Smash Bros for WiiU

[Conviction]

Just don't sign up for the leaderboard. Lol. Making optional crushes Sakurai's problem.

Resetting leaderboards (obv) gives other chances to catch up/be in the race if they've fallen so far in the current ladder or joined said ladder late.

 

[Starphoenix]

N!!!!!! :.D

Why will my "D" not capitalize?

 

[nLiM8d]

The overall decisions that urk the best of us can be described as follows:

Its finals week, you did your best. More often than not you could have done better. But who cares you met the minimum requirements.

STARSSSSSSSSS

 

[Conviction]

Ibsssssssssssssssss

 

[nLiM8d]

Don't you mean, Abyss?

Oh the conceit of Kuma! You're just too good aren't you?

 

[Big-Cat]

I really like that idea. I'm good at the game, but for personal reasons, I have to take a hiatus from the game. This resetting thing would work as the top players are within my range in the leaderboards.

 

[Conviction]

Tales of Iblis?

 

[augustoflores]

that's why we, the americans, need a healthy relationship with nintendo, not seen since minecraft... i don't like reggie fils aime... he does not deliver right.

oh, and apparently, Gamestop approached nintendo to localize xenoblade... i hate to say this, but... thank you gamestop.

 

[Conviction]

@Kuma: Exactly,

So counter points to Sakurai's concern.

1) Don't sign up
2) The leaderboard restarts ever so often so you can alway have that fresh to start to catch up, especially if you've made progress since the last ladder

 

[Starphoenix]

Somehow I have the feeling Sakurai is going to allow for more of the things he excluded with Brawl like leaderboards and voice chat.

 

[Conviction]

Yeah, idk how come voice chat wasn't available. Just mute bad-mouthers.

Personally I enjoy trash talkers though, so I can trash talk back and then if I win it's even more sastifying and then I lose I just laugh it off.

 

[augustoflores]

well... voice chat on limitations... there still shouldn't be voice chat with random people... this is nintendo here.

 

[nLiM8d]

How could you not like Reggie?

[COLLAPSE="Isn't he just adorable?"]

[/COLLAPSE]

 

[Big-Cat]

That's one thing I've been wondering. Sakurai has mentioned several times that he had a bunch of ideas that he had to skip on due to time constraints. I'm rather curious as to what they pertained to. I wonder if it could have been chains or something, but because it meant balancing a brand new, somewhat unprecedented system, that he would have to take away time from the SSE. We may never know.

His hair is uneven. Auto-fail.

Most likely we will see those ideas come to fruitation this time around hopefully!

 

[augustoflores]

chains.

oh you.....

Edit... this awesome drawing... would you like link to look like this in a future zelda title?

Spoiler

 

[nLiM8d]

That was worth a laugh right there, thanks for pointing it out Augusto

Picture's cool yo

 

[Big-Cat]

Hey, I love chains, and I think it would make Smash interesting to watch again to say the least.

I just hope Sakurai prioritizes everything this time around. If he really wants to do another story mode, why not include it as free DLC AFTER the game's release? Tekken 6's story mode was added for the console version and the arcade version had come out first.

And no to that Link drawing. I'd rather see more stylistic approaches to game artstyles instead of the realism people seem to love. I actually like Tekken 5's graphics over Tekken 6's and they're a generation apart.

 

[augustoflores]

you no like shoulder armour?
too much cloud?

 

[nLiM8d]

Are you talking like RAAM's shadow that had story mode in DLC?

That seems rather pertinent for unlocked characters' Story mode segments (POV), as they are sort of the latter end of development.

I'm not liking the face.

What's RAAM? My point though is that they need to focus on the multiplayer. The story mode and extras should be stuff released AFTER they're done FOR FREE. The game, though, should have enough features to satisfy people, so things like the trophy list should be taken care of by release.

 

[Zzuxon]

a resetting leaderboard... woah... mind=blown...

@zuzu... leaderboards.

Leaderboards? YES. SSb4 online should be like an upgrade of MKWii with DLC.

 

[augustoflores]

ohhhh.... yeah, i didn't like the face really either... but how about the costume?

 

[Conviction]

Leaderboards? YES. SSb4 online should be like an upgrade of MKWii with DLC.

Only problem is MKWii's rating system wouldn't work all the well in brawl. Everyone is not going to want be tied for 9999 BP. People are going to want a clear first placer.

This

@Kuma: EASY! Just make the leaderboard go by seasons. It resets every season change. Fall,Summer,Winter,Spring leaderboards. You can choose to sign-up for any of the leaderboards, during anytime of the leaderboard, or just not participate in the leaderboard at all.

/taking notes from AllisBrawl

is a lot better. Although I could see them using MKWii's special events like things in SSB4 and also they should add the records for Multi-man, Race for the Door (whatever that was), board the platforms, character specific target tests, and homerun contest. Those leaderboards should never reset though.

 

[nLiM8d]

Google Frenzy!

RAAM's |S|hadow (probably should have capitalized the "s") is a DLC Story Arc add on for Gears of War.

I'm a bit more inclined to your suggestion of free DLC story mode though. It sounds much like a work in progress type organization which gives off a more community feel (something that has grown on smash ala Melee). These are like pseudo essentials, which aim to expand, not necessarily enhance, which should be free overall.

(feel "free" to correct as I might be off on what your saying as of my last reread XP)

Well, there should be tweaks, but I think that Nintendo did MKWii's online really well. They should think about this when doing SSB4's.

 

[augustoflores]

i don't think he would do dlc... sakurai would be doing other stuffs after smash 4 comes out... after all, Sora Ltd. is just 2 people. after the game is done, everyone he hired will depart for whatever they want.

 

[nLiM8d]

Either the DLC approach or wait for many many years to get anything close the perfectionist edition.

Smash has thrived through the WIP community scene man, such should be catered to (with "enough" options to do so).

 

[augustoflores]

i think id want the homebrew channel if he doesn't deliver what i want. do you think they will crack down even harder this time around?

 

[nLiM8d]

Not until Nintendo considers dedicated networking. Otherwise its all yours to toy with (ie destroy)

 

[Shorts]

I heard about getting rid of friend codes, but didn't hear nothing about Sakurai never wanting to add in Leaderboards

Oh, he had a reason for not adding them. I forget what he said, but he did say something. It was in an article I was scanning through a few days ago.

I hope they don't plan on just making the Wii U as powerful as the PS3, totally defeats the purpose of being a "next gen console"

Of course not. Nintendo is the most revolutionary company out of the three major console sellers. I mean, Microsoft and Sony jumped on the motion sensor and Avatar bandwagon after Nintendo had so much success. Wii U will be the same thing. Plus, it's Nintendo. You know, Pokemon, Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda? On top of that, the Wii U has so much support from third party companies. It's pretty crazy. I would never expect too see some of the franchises that are moving to the Wii U actually be on a Nintendo system.

The Wii U is going to be what the Wii should have been. Not saying the Wii is bad, just not up to snuff with it's contenders in some respects. In a lot of respects though, it surpassed them. Graphics aren't everything.


As for DLC, don't expect it. Just, don't. Sakurai was (as far as we know) NEVER planning for it to happen on the Wii, nor COULD it happen. (So says him)

@shortie... i already posted the direct quote from sakurai about the leaderboards.

 

[nLiM8d]

When will we see more details about the rolling western?

3DS is doing a lot of dragging man, remakes / ports of VB games up in the air. Hype excite is a mother!

I would seriously enjoy knowing that people get the chance to enjoy the games I did back in the day.

 

[augustoflores]

Q1 2012...

 

[Shorts]

Yum! Amazing mirror for shorts. Also excited for the WarioWare games~ AND, you cant get those games unless your an Ambassador. Which I am.

I also found a tasty Toise treat.

Wario is much, much further removed from Mario than Yoshi's games are, that's why the characters there are more important. Yoshi games still have all these Mario elements (particularly Mario and Bowser themselves), whereas Wario games have their own thing going. Context wise, Syrup's the same as King K. Rool rather than Kamek.

As for Mona, she's the most popular character in the series and one of two characters to appear in every single WarioWare game so far. She also gives off something of a "second-in-command that does more work than the boss" kind of vibe whenever she interacts with Wario. That and no one else seems to interact with him at all.

Toad's appearances are mostly supporting roles in the main Mario games, whereas Mona's essentially THE WarioWare character (not counting Wario himself of course).

When people think of Mario games, they always think of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser. Do they think of Toad? Some do, thus Toad is arguably important to that series (though I personally think he's not important enough in this case, and that's coming from a guy whose only owned Nintendo merchandise ever is a Toad plush).

When people think of Wario games, they usually think of Wario, Syrup (for Wario Land) or Mona (for WarioWare). They might think of some of the other enemies from Wario Land or the other WarioWare characters, but those two stand out. That's why they have a chance.

FINALLY!!! EPHRAIM HAS A CHA-no he doesn't... :'(

 

[---]

Wi-Fi? I'm not expecting much other than lag fixes, at the most I'm hoping for is more options like being able to fight 2 on 2 instead of always having to have a 4 on 4


It's nice to see those ambassador games, too bad I already own most of them. I'm surprised that there's no Pokemon or Golden Sun though.


As for the Wario discussion, I have to agree with those Toise quotes. While like anyone I do doubt another Wario rep, if it does happen it sounds like another cat fight is going to happen.

 

[Big-Cat]

I think Toise summed up the Wario characters quite nicely.

And yay to the VC titles coming out tomorrow. I've been itching to play Fusion again!

 

[nLiM8d]

Subsidiary companies usually get the shaft. (So to speak about some of the major link up GBA titles)

Nice taste on Fusion M8. What an addicting game.
