New Smash Bros for WiiU

[Metal Overlord]

Coming from someone who would like Mii's in Smash, I wouldn't say that Mii's are important characters to put in Smash 4 based solely on the fact that their series is popular. There are better reasons to put them in than just sales (since they'd basically function as the "customizable character" of Smash and that they are pretty much synonymous with the newer-gen Nintendo consoles, being the Nintendo equivalent of Avatars for the Xbox 360). Smash may be about featuring "Nintendo's All-Stars" in a fighting game but that shouldn't be an excuse to shoehorn in characters just because they're popular

Pokemon in 64 = Miis in Smash4

 

[Starphoenix]

I would say that title goes to the Miis.

I don't think you can argue with the fact that the Wii series is the third best selling gaming franchise of all time. Metroid definitely isn't, and Ridely isn't a large reason for the Metroid sales, like the Miis are for the Wii series sales.

I still think you're thinking too inside the Smash Spec bubble if you consider Ridley the most important, not yet playable character, and not the Miis.

 

[Shorts]

^^^^ Now that Star has my back, you have to agree with me

 

[Deleted member]

Ah, but Miis are not characters persay, but merely avatars.
So Ridley technically is the most important character not yet playable, but Miis are still pretty damn important and should be in as well.

Also, I doubt the Miis were what made people buy the Wii series games. I would think that the fact that Sports was released alongside the Wii helped, which in turn, influenced purchase of Sports Resort, and then Play having a free Wii Remote...and then Fit promoting the idea of losing weight in a fun way (mostly purchased by the older generation of people), etc.
So yeah, to say Miis were what sold the Wii series is just as true as saying Ridley is what sold the Metroid series.

 

[Oasis_S]

Yeah, well, people actually want Ridley.

You know what he means. No need to be so literal. Just let it be, don't think too hard about it. Makes things messy.

Yeah, well, people actually want Ridley.

Apparently not Japan.

It's a shame though that Miis are too "casual" in the eyes of Sakurai...

Cuz if Miis were in the game, and so was a character I hated, I could beat that character's face in with myself.

Kind of like I can do in Super Smash Bros. Crusade, but with Porky instead of myself. (I voice Porky)

 

[Conviction]

I'm sure everyone accepts the fact that Miis are a huge possibility, just most rather not think about it. XD

 

[Shorts]

Apparently not Japan.

Or Sakurai

 

[Deleted member]

Or Sakurai

He said that Ridley can be done if effort was given, but he'd be on the slow side.

With Miis, he just feels they are too casual.

 

[Lukingordex]

Miis at SSB4 is a great idea.

I only have brought SSBB because of a friend´s lie.He told me the Miis was playable at SSBB lol

It´s my dream to play as Amy Wine House(Mii) at Smash Bros. XD

 

[Oasis_S]

K. Rool confirmed since Sakurai hasn't said anything about him?

 

[Deleted member]

K. Rool confirmed since Sakurai hasn't said anything about him?

No....he's too big, silly.

Just like Ridley and Medusa.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I see Miis as simply avatars and not a major/serious/important character that doesn't matter if they are casual or whatever. Miis are just for fun. In fact, I strongly believe that the the customizable character for the 3DS version most likely will be a Mii (I'd use a Mii over a generic create-a-character feature)

Sakurai clearly had never thought of Ridley as playable material, prior to that interview. THAT is pretty obvious. Now let's see if he thinks of him this time around.

Well Oasis, it seems whenever Sakurai opens his mouth about a character, it's a bad thing.

The customizable feature will be stickers..

 

[Oasis_S]

"Genesect who?"

Then I guess Ridley AND Miis are not getting in, huh?

Or Ridley Mii for that matter.

As for the customizable feature, it's clearly said custom character that you can transfer, so....I don't think it will be stickers...

Yes, a custom character, as in a character you BUILD UP. I promise you, it's not the miis he's reffering to.

And no, they both have a shot, although I can see either of them not getting in pretty easily.

 

[Deleted member]

I was trolling. Hence the .

You know, I should start making a series of characters and why they can't be in Sm4sh. Being stupid reasons like "too big", as it's not supposed to be serious.

I'm taking suggestions. They have to be Nintendo characters only, though. Makes it more fun.

 

[lordvaati]

apparently this is a picture from Project Sora's lounge room.

I probably wouldn't look too deep into it, but what if they came up with arcade stick compatibility?

 

[Oasis_S]

"Customizable character" is so misunderstood. It is definitely not talking about a single character you customize.

 

[Metal Overlord]

Character customization for Smash

 

[Deleted member]

No one wants to suggest a character for me to give a bs excuse for?

 

[---]

I just finished Uprising. I can't say much that hasn't already been said in terms of characters I guess (not to mention I'd be me just repeating what I've been saying for months now ), I was surprised though to see that my prediction about the ending came true.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I probably wouldn't look too deep into it, but what if they came up with arcade stick compatibility?

Well, an arcade stick was made for the Wii: it was the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Arcade stick. It can work for Brawl since games identify the arcade stick as a Classic Controller (that Brawl supports)

 

[Pieman0920]

A thought occurred to me the other day that the WiiU version of Smash would likely try to use the powers system from Kid Icarus and have them activated via the touch screen on the controller. If that were the case, then a gamecube like control scheme would be impossible. And looking at that lounge, there are no gamecube controllers.

But that's something that was going to happen even if I'm wrong about the touch screen.

 

[Oasis_S]

STARPHOENIX. Do you see anything in Uprising that would relate to how building up characters will work in Sm4sh. Like, an analysis.

 

[Starphoenix]

Well, not entirely. He said there were more characters he wanted to include in Brawl, but did not have the time to. When asked about it further he wouldn't say because he might be saving those characters for a sequel. See, not always bad.

I have a few ideas, but Pieman would probably be better suited to answer your question. I'm looking at stage concepts right now.

If anything, that probably all but confirms Mewtwo and Roy...

 

[Oasis_S]

PIEMAN. Do you blah blah blah Star is lazy?

 

[Starphoenix]

PIEMAN. Do you blah blah blah Star is lazy?

It's called blah blah blah he owns the game and I don't. I don't even own a 3DS.

 

[Oasis_S]

OPOSSUM DO YOU BLAH BLAH BLAH STAR IS A CHEAPSKATE?caps

 

[Opossum]

Oasis' psychic powers are Strong.


And no, I too lack a blah blah 3DS.


Golden, do one for Muddy! I wanna see why he can't be in!:D

 

[Wario Bros.]

I have Kid Icarus: Uprsing. What do ya need?

 

[ChronoBound]

Apparently not Japan.

To be fair, Mii's don't come up much as playable characters either, and there is resistance to the idea there as well.

 

[Deleted member]

He is a filthy animal since he burrows underground. All of the animals in Smash are well groomed. Muddy would track dirt ALL OVER the carpet.

 

[Big-Cat]

As much as I'd like arcade stick support, the problem lies in the lack of analog support to differentiate between running and walking. There's also the lack of a second stick to act as C-Stick, but I feel the game can be changed somewhat to where it's not even required.

 

[Shorts]

I would like to think that he's referring to more than just Dixie, Mewtwo, Roy, Doc, and Toon Zelda / SheiknotTetra

Spoiler

Diddy's worst nightmare.

Imagine if the Zelda newcomers were Toon Zelda/Sheik and Toon Ganondorf.
