Guess.
I suspect the Miiverse is going Bat**** crazy (in disgust) over the water Shiek reveal.

Still, any idea who is this XY Pokemon is?

so

little mac, a character that has only a flawless ground game, and his disadvantages are "good at nothing else", is guaranteed A-tier at worst

because that "for glory" mode uses the one stage that doesn't require much jumping, and only that one stage

Holy ****, did Sakurai just ruin smash?

I mean seriously, FINAL DESTINATION ONLY is he an idiot or something? No more switchable options like items on or off?

Project M wins the Smash scene, this is it folks.

I'll be for sure getting Smash 4 for my 3DS but as of yet nothing screams "buy a Wii U now!" to me.
And really, I'm buying it for my 3DS for the "Mario Kart" experience that it will provide as a great portable game. Not because it's going to be the next coming of competitive Smash.

It seems like in the FOR FUN mode you are forced to use items and in the FOR GLORY mode you can't use them. And FOR GLORY is all Final Destination with different backgrounds.

I mean it seriously looks like Sakurai misunderstood the needs of the competitive community and ruined what we loved about Smash.

So to slow down the hype train a bit.

"For Glory" Mode. Seriously? That's a joke that has been thrown at the competitive scene for years, and Sakurai made it a game-mode.

This man still hates us guys, clearly.


Edit: And I understand, while playing friends, you can make your own ruleset, but, its more the symbolic nature of this mode than anything.

Please tell me this is just a misconception and that Items On/Off isn't seriously restricted between the two modes (of which the second mode completely eliminates all stage factors, including more interesting pieces like platform layout). Like, I'll give some credit for trying but that's a major miss right there.

nah, it's still customizable. what we're talking about is the two public online modes, here. you can still do w/e locally, and ditto with friend fights, so if worst comes to worst, there's still some progress I suppose

tbh what I am more intrigued by is that the 3DS version runs at a full 60fps. well, uh, TECHNICALLY, items/assist stuff don't but fighters do.

3DS smash can be a real thing. hmmm

I like a lot of the things I saw, even though it is very Brawlish. I would definitely be more inclined to give this a try if I didn't have to use wireless Wii U controllers instead of a more gamecube-like controller.

If people think the update isn't great, I'm sure calling people ******* is gonna change their mind.

The best thing about this direct is that Ridley now has no reason to not be playable in PM.

But damn, Smash 4 looks great. Quite the upgrade from Brawl.

My only real concern was these two modes until seeing confirmation that they straight up just apply to online only. Because that would make absolutely no sense to remove customization from the main game. Other than that? I like the attention to character details (Link's back roll being a backflip makes so much sense) and some nerfed recoveries here and there. ****ing rocketboots ZSS is a thing.

It's never gonna replace Melee/PM, that much is obvious but I like what I'm seeing and I'm looking forward to exploring the game.

There was so much Sakurai trolling in this direct. Also lol@ Pong assist.

If this is the case then better start making private rooms/lobbies if there is any but yeah that FD all over that place was like WTF. HE had a good idea then kinda flew mud at faces as well and FD lol I haven't seen FD in tournies for brawl anymore it's all Smashville and Battlefield now. Melee I still final destination more but not as much.

Honesty be prepared to faced this future and if we are forced to used converters that may have lag to them and/or use wireless controllers for small to medium sized tournies and do it like the NRS and 3d communities especially for Tekken.
