Nintendo Direct Coming On June 11th.Count Down Thread Day 00

[Johnknight1]

What about super smash bros. dynamite?

I never really thought of that title before, but it actually sounds really good.

Think about it, dynamite explodes, and smash is an explosive, crazy, and fireworks-filled game.

Dynamite also is a classic cartoon "weapon" of sorts, and smash is extremely cartoony, unrealistic, and just over-the-top crazy.

That makes it literally, figuratively, and comparatively a great title.

Like Johnknight1, I'm a big fan of Clash. I really do think that it's going to be the name of the next title.

Clash just freaking sounds epic. So does Thrash. Both are 5-letter words (like Melee and Brawl), and neither of them have a "M" or a "B" in the start of the word.

Though I also like "Revolution", but that'll never happen.

That sounds like Smash is changing, which inevitably it isn't. If any game should have been "Revolution," it should have been one of the previous 3 games.

T-H-R-A-S-H
I count six. =P

 

[Hero_of_T1me_1997]

Super Smash Bros Electric Boogaloo

Lock it in and prepare for it

 

[Starcutter]

i'm just going to call it either super smash bros 4, or super smash bros. Universe until E3. but another possibility could be rumble.

 

[Banjodorf]

I think Universe sounds the best if you ask me! It seems like a fitting name for a game that'll now incorporate so many different characters and universes.

Sorry, I meant Trash, which will be the mobile phone smash bros knockoff.

 

[AnOkayDM]

Sorry, I meant Trash, which will be the mobile phone smash bros knockoff.

OHHHH like The Legend of Smellda or iPokémon?

 

[Knight Dude]

So I just looked through the whole thread just now and, I gotta say, Goku is not needed in Smash Bros. Mind you, I'm a HUGE Dragon Ball fan, but no 4th party characters are needed...like at all. If I want to beat the crap outta people with Goku, I'll play DBZ games, SSF2, or Jump Ultimate Stars. Besides I'm hoping for Megaman and Heihachi anyways.

If we are talking about a name for Smash 4, I'm thinking Battle, Rumble, Clash, Scuffle, or Combat/Kombat. Kerfuffle would be an even better name.

 

[κomıc]

I think Clash is likely... Though, I used that name for a comic book I made featuring my comic book characters several years ago lol

Everyone thinks the next game will be called Universe, which is possible, but that really doesn't fit in with the past games Melee and Brawl in terms of naming. And wasn't the first Smash Bros. called Battle Royale in Japan as a subtitle?

Anyhow, can't wait for that Nintendo Direct. I'm going to have a box of tissues ready

 

[AnOkayDM]

Goku? More like Noku.

I don't think it'll be called Universe. I wouldn't be shocked, but I think it'll stick with the trend established by the previous games. Clash or Rumble, probably. Maybe Showdown. The more I think about it, the likelier Clash seems though.

 

[Johnknight1]

Sakurai said there will be only video game original characters to appear in Smash Bros, let alone be playable. Therefore, Goku, Superman, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Jesus, Captain Jack Sparrow, and George Washington all cannot be playable... sans as a Mii if Miis are playable!!!

Also, there is no way in hell the title will be Universe. That's just an awfully generic name someone made up for that ridiculous rumor.

OHHHH like The Legend of Smellda or iPokémon?

No, the crappy mobile phone Pokémon game is not iPkémon. Nope, it's called Digimon!

And this is why Mii should be in... so I can play as Astro Boy in Smash!

Seriously, Sakurai should make this happen.

 

[Johnknight1]

You be Astro Boy, I'll be George Washington, and possibly two other people can be Spider-Man and Ozzy Osbourne.

It will be the match up everyone wants that everybody didn't know they wanted but they actually did.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I call Spidey!


I am disappointed at the lack of Jesus though.

Jesus Mii for SSB4!

 

[Banjodorf]

Psh. I'll just use my Kanye Mii, and then I'll be the greatest smasher of all time. Of. All. Time.

 

[Knight Dude]

Can...can I be Vegeta? Or how about Spawn? Abe Lincoln maybe?

 

[Vintage Creep]

I have only two Godzilla movies left, and tomorrow I'll probably watch the entire new season of Arrested Development. I guess I'll play Xenoblade for the rest of the days. It's like damage control at this point.

 

[Johnknight1]

Ozzy Osbourne, Jesus, same thing.

Can...can I be Vegeta? Or how about Spawn? Abe Lincoln maybe?

Only if it's a 6-player game.

 

[Phaiyte]

Zelda 2 is not a hard game.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Another day down, and just slightly over 2 weeks left to go. Prepare yourself! *pun intended to Ike*

 

[Vintage Creep]

I'm looking forward to May 29 too anyway. Sonic The Lost World looks amazing.

 

[AnOkayDM]

No, the crappy mobile phone Pokémon game is not iPkémon. Nope, it's called Digimon!

Ooooooh. Ouch. Burn. Them's fightin' words.

Not to me though. =P

 

[Ghirahilda]

 

[Knight Dude]

Is body ready? No its not. Because no matter how much you think are ready, the hype will rock you to your very core. Your. Very. Core.

 

[Fixations]

It's funny looking back, when the game was mentioned at e3 2011 and people speculated we were getting information 2013, it seemed like an extremely long time for me. However those two years flew past quickly, and it's the two week wait till June 11th that's killing me x.x

 

[Deleted member]

My roster prediction is:

Wolf, Snake, Lucario, Pokemon Trainer, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, and R.O.B. and Ike will be cut.


-Even though Pikmin 3 is coming soon, Olimar is way to iconic to cut, and will probably even feature in Pikmin 3.
-Sonic will stay 100%
-Even though I will get hated for this, I'd really like them to give Jigglypuffs slot to Igglybuff. They could be really creative with this and make Igglybuff evolve while fighting, and become Jigglypuff, who that can evolve into Wigglytuff after taking more damage(or randomly pulls a moonstone).
-Also I'd rather them swap lucas out for Kumatora, just to have another girl in the mix.
-Finally, it'd quite interesting if Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf could Up Taunt to swap into their respective Toon forms. Dual wield scimitar Toon Ganondorf, Toon Link, and Zelda becomes Toon Zelda/Tetra.


The Most Likely Newcomers being (Note I put a Star beside on who I think will go through):
-Chrom*
-Tharja*
-Lyn
-Black Shadow
-Palutena*
-Tom Nook*
-Waluigi*
-Little Mac
-Mewtwo (Who can Swap Between Normal and Awakened Form)*
-Dixie Kong*
-Issac*
-King K Rool
-Fawful
-Shulk

Everyone thinks the next game will be called Universe, which is possible, but that really doesn't fit in with the past games Melee and Brawl in terms of naming. And wasn't the first Smash Bros. called Battle Royale in Japan as a subtitle?

Here are the English and Japanese-translated-to-English titles:

English // Japanese
Super Smash Bros. // Nintendo All-Star! Great Melee Smash Brothers
Super Smash Bros. Melee // Great Melee Smash Brothers Deluxe
Super Smash Bros. Brawl // Great Melee Smash Brothers X

Considering the second game adopted "Melee" from its predecessor's Japanese name, had this trend continued, Super Smash Bros. Brawl would have been called "Super Smash Bros. Deluxe". Brawl is a better name than Deluxe. Brawl's Japanese name ends in X, a single letter. What system also ends in a single letter?

There's a chance the next game will be called:
Super Smash Bros. Universe // Great Melee Smash Brothers U

Id like it if it ends up being Universe. I like Deluxe two.

 

[Knight Dude]

I dunno, I'm not too big on Smash 4 for being called Universe. It's not the worst name, but not that great either. I guess I don't care for it much since it more or less breaks the naming theme we've had for the last two games. I feel like that the title should be a synonym for fighting. Stuff like battle, rumble, clash, conflict, struggle, heck even kerfuffle. Though like I said, Universe isn't the worst name either. You could argue that the name fits with the various Nintendo(and possible third party characters)being brought together to beat the crap out of each other.

 

[Hoots]

I'd bet most of my lucky pennies that the name will be Rumble.

 

[TewnLeenk]

What about Super Smash Bros Versus ?

 

[MasterOfKnees]

My roster prediction is:

Wolf, Snake, Lucario, Pokemon Trainer, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, and R.O.B. and Ike will be cut.

Pokémon Trainer is secured because of Charizard. There's no Pokémon who's even close to being as loved as Charizard by the fanbase, not even Pikachu and Mewtwo can touch him. Remove Charizard, and you might aswell remove Luigi.

I think R.O.B will stay in the same spirit that G&W stayed, and Wolf was already a requested character who has a moveset that's easy to make even more unique. Snake is also a very unique character, I see no reason as to why he'd be cut, especially since Nintendo's relation to Konami hasn't changed since.

Ike, Lucario and Toon Link are the ones at stake, and given that there's a new Wind Waker remake coming up Toon Link's spot might be secured. Lucario might end up getting booted for Mewtwo, though I find it a little unlikely, and Ike might suffer the Roy fate. Though Roy not being included in Brawl was more over for the fact that he was a clone and got low priority because of that, where as Ike is completely unique, and popular in the west.

They've imported the engine from Brawl, if they remove characters it's because they don't think they're worthwhile, not because of time constraints like usually.

It's likely, but is there any confirmation of this?
Also, how was the transition from melee to brawl?

 

[MasterOfKnees]

I remember an interview where he specifically stated the first thing they'd do is import Brawl's engine to the Wii U, which was iirc right after E3 2011, but I couldn't find that exact interview, this was the closest I found:

"Sakurai noted he would use Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a starting point and move on from there."

Not sure how the Melee to Brawl transition worked, or if it was even possible at all to import the Melee engine to the Wii.

 

[professor mgw]

What about Super Smash Bros Versus ?

Kinda plain. I think they'll go w/ something like Collide or Royale.

I know with Brawl, they got the assets from Melee to help them. Mario's stock icon from Melee is in the game.

Would be cool if it was true, but I won't believe any rumors, there's always a lot of bogus rumors leading up to E3, and even more so this year with so many iconic titles.

I love the silhoutte idea, but I doubt they're gonna go "all out" with the roster and just include as many characters as possible.

 

[SmashChu]

This rumor brought back my hype!
http://gamingbolt.com/super-smash-bros-4-to-feature-largest-roster-yet-releasing-in-2014-end

It's probably false. Rumors about Smash are usually wrong.

Also, it doesn't make sense that they are just starting coding on the Wii U given development has been going on for 16 months.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Different rosters for Wii U Version and 3DS Version alert!
