They also announced a Shovel Knight one as well, by the way.
Most likely. They're part of the chaos and have been tweaked more than once to make it simpler. Latest game made them streamlined/faster to keep things going(though it's not like they were turned into cutscenes outside of new ones at best), but they feel quick enough to be like it at times.
No reason for them to be cut. They're fun if not for many characters' final smashes being outdated or not even touched in Sakurai's new way of wanting to give everyone flashy super moves over general stage-based chaos. Mario Finale has lost all of the hype it had back in 2008. Now I'd rather just have something else when every other character has an arguably better one.
I was thinking the reward for a full meter would be an enhanced special map for b so in essence all the specials would be enhanced though not to the level of final smash yeah that'd be too much lol
Indeed, and it's why I welcomed characters like Mr. Game&Watch, and even Piranha Plant, as the amusing surprises that they are.
Very much agreed, and this is exactly why I feel that third parties should be held to high scrutiny (that, and the fact that Sakurai has to specifically go out of his way for them far more than any character already owned by Nintendo). That said, I'm glad that most of the third parties present in Smash (though especially the playable characters) aren't some flash-in-the-pan recent trend that could completely fade away in a few years, but rather major icons in their own right that could legitimately stand toe-to-toe with Nintendo's absolute legends and have proven longevity. As I mentioned before, even the indie characters are significant in some way (and/or have deep ties with Nintendo, which is also something that Bayonetta and Banjo&Kazooie have going for them). The only one I can say I'm really iffy about is Joker, and that's mainly because he just happened to luck out as the current Persona protagonist, whom could prove to be just as expendable as the protagonists of the series entries that preceded him (though by no means do I think that the Persona series itself wasn't worthy of having a rep).
The battle royale mode could be like a side mode similiar to smash run.
As far as reputable sources went there wasn't any indication that leif was wanted. It was either marth and roy, or just solo marth.
The thing, as you mentioned, IS have shown they're not above changing and revamping elements of said game when it comes to remakes. Even stuff like mila's turnwheel radically changes up how you play echoes compared to the original and it doesn't strike me that the mechanics from both games are so fundamentally important they cannot be adapted or removed for streamlining (and thracia had some, eh, really questionable gameplay mechanics that probably needs change heal missing).
Same. And I forget if I pointed it out here earlier, but I think Smash just wouldn't work very well in a 3D environment. Smash has become reputable for being a mixture of the platformer and fighter genres (enough so that it pretty much codified several other attempts at such a hybrid), which makes sense considering that Nintendo's flagship franchise (as well as the obvious namesake to Smash Bros.) is primarily a platformer series. That said, I don't see Smash getting rid of the platforms lest it remove a major part of its identity. However, platforms are tricky enough to work with in a 3D environment even when making a single-player adventure game, let alone a competitive fighting game. Off the top of my head, the only game to even attempt such a thing was ARMS, and putting aside that game's rather lukewarm reception, it has something major which helped it kinda work: ranged attacks and grabs, something which not every character in Smash Bros. would have access to (though I guess to be fair, not every Nintendo character was capable of doing a double-jump along with some sort of semi-flying recovery move prior to the N64 game, either..... even then, it's not hard to see it being an expansion on the almost universal concept of jumping).
Eh, I dunno. I mean, I do get what you're saying about the gameplay being good, but I also think the crossover aspect, the ability to interact with and use these legendary characters in all kinds of situations, shouldn't be downplayed either. As somebody who friggin' loved Subspace (as well as Melee's Adventure before it), it just really annoys me when I see people saying that "core gameplay" is the only thing that matters in Smash, and that all the side modes of the past, not the least of which being a side-scrolling Adventure Mode, apparently deserved to be completely chucked out for Ultimate (a sentiment I've seen quite a bit of). Plus, let's be real: Smash generates hype over the inclusion of characters, not functions.
To be fair, it was a Super Famicom game being released all the way into the year 2000 (almost four years after the N64 released). I wouldn't be surprised if it sold as poorly as those late 3DS remakes and ports. Not only that, but it was a physical release of a Satellaview game, so there might've been people who already downloaded the game and didn't feel like double-dipping. Though, that's just my speculation.
Yeah, smash's current control scheme just wouldn't work in 3d... Everything else should work fine, although with dramatic alterations, but the directional attacks would be practically impossible to seamlessly implement. How would they work? Would it be based on the camera's current perspective? Would there be some alternate way to pull off the attacks? The switch could probably circumvent this as the control sticks are technically buttons in and of themselves, meaning that it could be one way to approach it, but it's something that's absolutely not guaranteed for future hardware, and would still be way less practical... Stuff like smash kart are of course people getting way too off track...
Bro, that's Rail Shooter, not Platform Fighter.Sakurai already made a 3D Smash Bros.
Pretty sure they were joking lol... Either way, it's not just a rail shooter lol, there are literally parts where you're fighting on the ground against enemies.. If it was a rail shooter, I doubt they'd give Pit two swords as well. Not a platform fighter, but smash would likely function similarly to that if it were somehow made 3d
2/3 of the game consists of on-foot land battles, and it basically controls and plays like Smash Bros. combined with a third person shooter.
Bro, it doesn't mean that's Fighting Game. It's actually Beat'em up or Hack and Slash when Pit fights enemies on ground
Which is why it was a joke lol. And I'm pretty sure it's not really either of those anyway. It's a combat centric 3d game, which is likely how smash would be if it somehow went 3d.
We're not having Smash Bros become Jump Force you take that **** back right now
no... and to f*** with the balance even more, they gonna add 150 characters like that other DB game.
Yeah, spoiler for the 3D Smash game like Jump Force.
Join date today? Check.
Indeed. Bring back the Smash Run map as a Battle Royal. (64 players teleport in. Players run around killing creeps and collecting upgrades. Map shrinks over time. Last 4 surviving players have a Smash match.)
Imagine maining Jonesy during Battle Royale Mode.
Tried it, couldn't stand it.
So that means that we're gonna leave SmashBoards, right?
Mila's Turnwheel is more like a QoL feature, it gives you an option to go back and redo plays without restarting and is a very appreciated element, but it doesn't shake up anything major of the original formula that made up Gaiden. Nothing that was baked into the core of the original was removed, even if it was to the detriment of the game they kept them in. When it comes to the core mechanics of the game IS has not shown they're willing to massively change how they originally worked. If things like Gaiden's loathed map design was kept with little changes, there's not a strong chance they'll change anything major about FE4 or FE5's gameplay, especially when they're baked into how they play and how they tell a story like the large maps for FE4.
Is it going to plagiarize metal music from actual artists just like Budokai did too?
You say that like ripping off preexisting songs isn't common in video games. Remember that whole thing about Earthbound supposedly not being able to be on the Wii VC internationally because the New Age Retro Hippie theme was too close to Johnny B. Goode?Is it going to plagiarize metal music from actual artists just like Budokai did too?
I assume you're talking about the way Shock Spring Jump works (whereas Kazooie immediately jumps off the pad as opposed to doing a short hop first like in the N64 games)?
Yeah, you're probably right. Heck, Grunty's Revenge never even released in Japan.
Okay it's good someone checked the source on this because yeah I don't see any concrete evidence for Leif. These sorts of things get tossed around so much on forums and such that I forget where they came from.
The fact that they're willing to introduce new elements that help to faciliate the gameplay is fairly telling, and even if they maintain certain elements such as the maps (as you mentioned), there are other things that affect interaction outside of battles (interactive enemies in dungeons, supports) and combat-related effects (fatigue, combat arts, rebalancing of weapons/skills).
