Oh, so that's why. I heard rumors saying that a possible Mega Man/Leon Kennedy wasn't added due to Nintendo's bitterness toward Capcom for releasing RE4 for the PS2 when it was supposed to be Gamecube exclusive, or something along those lines. But still, reasons of time constraints seem more realistic.
It's been a long time since I've played that. It was a fun game, if a little awkward at times and I could see her working.
The D-pad on the GC controller would be kind of hard to utilize for movement. Maybe it's easier with the Classic Controller; I don't really use it, so I wouldn't know.
It was awkward on the N64 aswell and as such the game really aught to have used the control stick.
Hm...I think the main reason Mischief Makers used the D-Pad was because the whole dashing concept would have worked even worse on the control stick. you know, when you repeatedly click the D-Pad to dash? Yea, that wouldn't work on the stick, lol.
Does this mean Megaman has an even lesser chance of getting into SSB4? I know Capcom will likely continue the Megaman series without Keiji Inafune being present, but still... I remember reading that Inafune even wanted Megaman to be in Smash Bros., specifically Brawl, except he stated that Sakurai never asked him:
Those were my thoughts as well. Honestly, I wouldn't want Brawl to be the last entry, but if it is, then so be it.
It is because it was designed as if it was the last game in the series. Melee was even designed as if it was the last game in the series, too.
Despite working on it for twice as long, you can see a lot of stuff was taken out and that they put way too much time into the single player. As for the stage roster, while I don't like a number of stages, it taking up more than just the screen doesn't mean anything as it all as it really depends on the size of thumbnails.
Or, they could just simply add new pages for more stages, kind of like how Brawl, Melee, and Custom stages have different pages in Brawl. They could always have a palette to choose the series you want to play from, then select the stages attributed to that series/universe. The extra room available on each page could be used for a map of the course, kind of like the little "hologram" used on Melee's stage select screen.
You should know by now that Nintendo isn't in the habit of retiring highly profitable series. Calling it a day on Smash Brothers makes absolutely zero sense. You may as well say Mario Kart is at risk while you're at it.
Oh, well then there you go. Since Sakurai said that himself, then there's really nothing we smashers should fear. It makes sense too, since I'm sure there were a number of things they wanted to include in Brawl, but scrapped due to time constraints.
No, I mean epicly. SSB64 played well but the gameplay didn't have the epic feel to it that Melee's did. Thus, only Melee played "epicly".
And the single player prospered because of it. It's just a shame they ruined the rest of the game for it.
The story couldn't have really avoided that IMO but yes, it was an annoying and repetetive last level but execution isn't my point. It was designed to be epic and failed because of it. Epicness isn't something you can really make intentionally. You make games good and the epicness may or may not come with that. Sacrificing good design for epic design almost inevitably leads to a final product that is neither good nor epic.
They focused on air combos because people like air combos. I never said it was a good idea. This is another example of the aforementioned sacrificing gameplay in the hope of epicness that inevitably never happens.
OK, never mind me then. This near confirms its eventual creation.
You have to define "epic gameplay" for it to mean anything, you know.
I'm so getting the new Goldeneye. I really hope it lives up to the expectations we have for it. I mean, come on: it's Goldeneye with wi-fi! At least that's what the concept appears to be! X3Maybe he means characters decked in black clashing with katanas in gothic cathedrals.
I'm just looking forward to DKCR. Also who else is getting Goldeneye?
....And what does that mean? If you had said that about the original Smash, I would have understood maybe, since that game generally made it seem like attacks were hitting harder, even if they weren't really. There's nothing that I would say stands out as "epic" though in terms of Melee's gameplay that was lacking in the other two.
I wouldn't say it prospered. Break the Targets became stupid, Race to the Finish was gone, Classic Mode became redundant. All-Star Mode was too long - IMO that should've turned into Survival Mode, and once you were done with the stuff, you had no reason to really go back to it unless you were bored or wanted to beat and an old score.
Yes, it could've avoided that cop-out level. Tabuu (in retrospect, this is a really uninspiring name) could've not absorbed those levels and you could jsut beat him. If anything else, they could've designed the last level to be this distorted blend of the levels where it ended up having its own design.
They didn't have to make it floaty though. Look at Marvel and Guillty Gear. They do their combos in the air with one attack right after the other instead of launching someone away from them and they don't fall down so slowly. While I admit this would be different than Smash is typically known for, but this might've worked if implemented right.
Ok, point made. I meant that the upgrade to adventure mode worked out (besides the last level) because of the undue attention it was given.
