My thoughts...
* Players will be able to choose from multiple control options. Main focus is on GC controller, and Nintendo is currently considering redistribution of them. (Good, I can’t find wavebirds anywhere. I hope this means I can just use the remote and nunchuck, he wouldn’t say.)
This guy has to be kidding. The Wiimote is the worse controller ever, and he wants to play Smash with it?
* No motion-sensitive controls in main game. (Does that mean mini-games etc. will?)
This is actually year old news.
* Game will feature no more than 50 characters. (Gee, thanks a lot. I didn’t know that already </sarcasm>)
So they went from 40 to 50? I wonder who the new tenish character are. Who ever they are, they must of been picked from those fan choices or whatever, while they probably already had 40ish planned.
*“Since there’s a huge fan-demand for online play, the game will almost definitely feature it. That’s the plan. We pay a lot more attention to the fans than you would think, and we think it would be pretty dumb to ignore it. What’s funny is if we had never addressed the rumor, people wouldn’t be so expectant of it as they are.” (Thank god, hopefully an end to the “This better be online or I’m not buying it” stuff.)
Also year old news.
* They wouldn’t tell me any new specific characters. (Just thought I’d get that in there.)
They suck! >.< Then again I wouldn't trust you anyway.
* “Fans will be extremely pleased with the quality and number of characters we’ve brought around, as we made this very much a fan-desire project. There won’t be anymore ‘clones’ (just thought I should mention, he did the finger quote thing, and I literally lol’d) either. There are definitely characters that will be huge surprises too, one of which happens to be my absolute favorite.” (Thanks for the cliffhanger. Wait…so no more clones? What about…)
Not sure if this is commonly known or not (since I only heard/read it once, and never found the source again), but this is also year old news to me.
* Not all characters will return. The original smash bros. will. (Oh…bye Roy (one of my mains.))
Also year old news.
* Alternate Costumes/Color Schemes will be included. (Hot sauce. I’ll take white Zora Link please.)
While the colors are more along the lines of "No **** Sherlock", I was hoping for some costumes, so I hope this is true. Dr. Mario, Wario's original outfit, FD Link, maybe OoT and TP Ganondorfs, ect.
* No comment on third parties. (**** you.)
Agreed.
* The game has been made “more balanced”. (Cool. No more tiers? Ummm…idk if I like this yet.)
Isn't this also year old news?
* No comment on N64 like intros. (lol)
...I didn't understand this.
* No comment on “advanced techniques”. (I’m mediocre at that stuff anyway, so, I’m neutral on this.)
God I hope there aren't any super hard one's like Shuffles and wave dashes, otherwise online play will be very hard and impossible for me, because I been working on those 'advanced techniques' for years, and still no where near pulling them off well (except Slow-Mo mode).
* There will be new items, and some have been taken out. (Bob-ombs confirmed, don’t worry.)
Old items removed? Only one's I really hated were Cloaking (only in CPU battled since they always knew where you were, while I had trouble finding myself), Lip Stick, Flipper (I want the bumper back dammit!), and Party Ball.
* Super Smash Attacks are not immediately activated, can be reserved. (Well, now that I think about it…duh.)
Really? This is new news to me.
* Adventure mode will be much larger, classic mode will be featured. (No word on if chars. Would have individual stories)
No **** on Classic mode. And the larger Adventure mode was another duh, considering more characters and all. But I do hope they work on it a bit (like adding hidden characters in Adventure mode as enemies once they are unlocked and such).
* Will include more game modes, some from N64 will return. (Due to popular demand, apparently.)
Wait, there were modes in the 64 version that weren't in Melee? Why don't I remember this? I seriously need to dig that game back up some day...
* Events will be included. (I love those things, so to me it’s awesome.)
That makes one of us. While they are invintive, they were also annoyingly hard. Took me a **** month to beat them all, mainly the event involving Pikachu with two Pichu's as allies.
* This game is scheduled to release this year. (My guess is Fall.)
Week or so old news. At least it's not year old news like the rest of this crap.
* No comment on shoot the credits.
Who cared?
