Roster Discussion Thread (Closed)

[W1nedown]

I gotta throw my two cents in! Ghirahim is going/should be in this game. I mean he already has an fabulous moveset, Hes the trending villian in the loz series and ganon is boring! Sure he has a motive n all but how many times do play with him in brawl...
Honestly when u pic up the sticks an fight ur friends in brawl, "I think everyone knos where im going with this!" but you want the game to be as fast paced as possible like something in DBZ, only with nintendo cast!

 

[Frostwraith]

@~automatic: I didn't mean the ones here. >_>

I meant the incoming ignorant obnoxious ones, opening countless support thread for MLP characters here.

 

[~automatic]

Yeah I know, I'm just +1ing since I have the day off today, lel.

 

[Banjodorf]

Krystal supporters where also quite... Flamboyant so to say. Next to Ridley supporters, they appeared to be the most fierce. Diddy's thread was also full of trolls, but Johnknight and I pretty much got rid of them all. No contest! Lucario's fanbase was also quite enourmous. Ike's wasn't though from what I remembered.

Y'know, another thing Brawl taught me was that obvious choices are often exactly that.

(Brawl gave us MK, Dedede, Diddy, Lucario, Olimar and Pit, who iirc was the "Retro character choice" from back then.)

We also got some surprises, but that's just the way of things. Here's looking at you, R.O.B. and PT.

Now, if they keep up the trend, which hopefully they will, I'd say SWF's top 5-6 will once again be chosen. Yay?

 

[Diddy Kong]

Now movimg to the next topic: what will you do when your most supported character gets in? If K.Rool gets in, I already said I'll be buying rum, drink it and share my drunken joy. Dunno what I'd do if they'd reveal Mewtwo, Impa or Anthony Higgs though.

 

[ChronoBound]

Mewtwo is extremely likely to return though.

 

[Frostwraith]

I really want Mewtwo back, alongside Roy.

Sakurai would drop a massive bomb if he decided to reveal these two, even if they are meant to be secret characters.

 

[Banjodorf]

What will I be doing when/if I see K. Rool in the trailer/on the dojo?

First, I'm going to do a lap around campus, PROBABLY naked. Then I'll down a bottle of rum, because that sounds great and rum is delicious. Then, in a drunken stupor, open up 100 "K. Rool **** yeah!" threads in his newly-opened character forum. Edit: ...and try not to get banned.

And then sleep soundly in Smashland for the first time in years.

What a day...

 

[Diddy Kong]

Black rum is my favorite though. Good to know I won't be alone.

But whoa, what to do if Impa and Anthony Higgs get in...

 

[ChronoBound]

I really want Mewtwo back, alongside Roy.

Sakurai would drop a massive bomb if he decided to reveal these two, even if they are meant to be secret characters.

Me too. Me too...

 

[Croph]

If Roy gets in I'm literally going to cry. :')

 

[Banjodorf]

@Croph

I feel you, man. I feel you.

It was my reaction to Olimar's reveal pre-Brawl. I think that was the greatest day of all time. Ever.

 

[Frostwraith]

My hype builds every day that passes.

What if they announced a worldwide release for SSB4?

 

[lobotheduck21]

What fanbase is gonna be the "fierce" fanbase this time around

For some reason I'm thinking ghirahim

Oh it twill be the most glorious day if Isaac is announced

 

[Diddy Kong]

If K.Rool AND Dixie get in, I think I'll be overjoyed.

Diddy's reveal was whoa... Heavy for me! I shouted out of joy, and it was so early in the morning. Loved his design, and still do. Also remember it being a very sunny that that day.

The Dojo in general was awesome though. Wish they'll re-open it, but only a few months before release.

Ridley and K.Rool are probably the biggest support threads right now.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I really hope a one shot zelda character isn't fierce

We had plenty of one shot zelda characters that people wanted to get in last time, and none of them did.

Midna, Zant, wold link.

Zelda fans are fickle and bandwagon-y

 

[Oasis_S]

Loved his design, and still do.

I always thought he looked really ugly in Brawl.

This is awkward.

 

[Frostwraith]

Sakurai better not disappoint us.

I really want Ghirahim, Mewtwo, Roy and Dark Pit (separate character or not, I don't care). Toon Link better return too. I loved Wind Waker too much to not have Toon Link in SSB4.

And I would be overjoyed if they announced a world wide release... we Europeans often get to wait longer. And have everything spoiled...

 

[ChronoBound]

I always thought he looked really ugly in Brawl.

This is awkward.

I would like if Smash 4 went for a less realistic artstyle, or was cell-shaded. The realism in Brawl for a mostly cartoony cast got creepy.

 

[Frostwraith]

Not to quibble over details, but I think unfitting is more accurate.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

The ONLY games I thought looked good in cell shading was the DBZ and Dragon Quest games

 

[Diddy Kong]

I think they'll be going for a slight more cartoonish style as well.

I thought the new Street Fighter looked cool as well.

 

[Frostwraith]

Fire Emblem: Awakening doesn't look bad with cel-shading... and Wind Waker's artstyle is just beautiful.

 

[Croph]

Yeah, I'd love a more cartoony appearance. I'd say cell shaded but I'd be biased cuz I love cell shaded games. Okami's style is gorgeous. <3

 

[Banjodorf]

Y'know, I forgot that Europe basically had to wait until Summer of '08 to get Brawl. I remember we had "Eruope" forums for people to go who didn't want spoilers.

Sad times for you guys, man

Hopefully that won't happen this time, and, like with Pokemon X&Y, they do a worldwide.

@Psycho

Sure, those Zelda character support threads didn't work out and were kind of odd, and sure Ghirahim has an importance similar to Zant's, but come on now, he has so much personality! (That's my reason for supporting him anyway, regardless of realism, it's still awesome!)

 

[Diddy Kong]

Yeah being European sucks. Sometimes. Euros are ****ing expensive man.

 

[Frostwraith]

But makes importing from the US really cheap! UK pounds are even worse... >_>

If they could do an almost world wide release with KI: Uprising, I believe they can do it with SSB4. Pokémon X/Y will also be worldwide release, so there's no excuse this time.

 

[Oasis_S]

I would like if Smash 4 went for a less realistic artstyle, or was cell-shaded. The realism in Brawl for a mostly cartoony cast got creepy.

It would be neat if the Wii U and 3DS versions had different visual styles. Realistic on the Wii U, and cartoony on the 3DS. Not that the 3DS can't handle "better" graphics, but you wouldn't be able to notice any of those little details on that screen. I would say even trying to fit them in would sort of... "muddy up" the visuals and be distracting. I QUESTION THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS IDEA THOUGH, considering how much extra work that is. We'll probably see a lot of borrowed assets.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I actually did that! Imported a US Brawl disk with a Freeloader. But with a later update, like a year and a half later, the Freeloader didn't work anymore. Still, got a EU disk later on so it was no problem.

I do remember that the US version was kinda darker though.

Pounds are the worst yeah! Damn, does the queen of England not have money enough already or something?

 

[Big-Cat]

I think they'll be going for a slight more cartoonish style as well.

I thought the new Street Fighter looked cool as well.

Street Fighter isn't that great until you get to the characters added in Super and SFxTK. A lot of the Vanilla cast look simply weird when you get to looking at them. Chun-Li's manhands and to a lesser extent face, Abel's steroid-injected biceps, Viper's burger ****, Blanka's stomach animating like it's all flab, Ryu and Ken's EVERYTHING etc. Super is a bit better, but they always have to give the barefoot characters big feet for some reason. SFxTK though, especially with the Tekken characters looked pretty good though Nina could've used a less pink skin tone and Lili could've looked a little less derp in the face. Part of the problem stems from them trying to emulate SF2 too much in the art style. Bengus' drawings simply don't translate to 3D models that well which is why the Marvel models were a vast improvement.

On a minor note, the artists for those games could never seem to make up their mind on whether a character has nipples or not (real random I know). Some characters have then while others don't. I'd like to see some consistency here.

For Smash's art style, I hope they go for more of a Final Fantasy or Tekken route in regards to details. Keep them animated realistically, but don't go turning Mario into a real life person at the same time - both FF and Tekken have a slight anime flair to them as can be seen in Lars and Alisa.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I kind of liked Abel's original concept art better than the character we got.

He seems kind of generic.

His concept art he was a teen boy that looked like a girl

 

[Frostwraith]

It could actually work nicely. I don't know if Sakurai will want to pull the graphics to their limit.

Considering how Brawl looks, I am willing to bet that Sakurai will want to push the Wii U to its limit, with the 3DS having graphics on the same level as Kid Icarus: Uprising.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I liked Wang in Tekken. Could actually beat people with him who've been playing Tekken for years.

 

[Big-Cat]

I would've liked that too. You can blame the dudebros for that one just like you can blame Gamearts for everything.

****ing Mishimas are a pain in the ***. Solid attacks and have better means of approaching you. At least they're telling me to approach in a less rushdown way. Jacks on the other hand are telling me to bait and whiff punish which is what both my characters excel at.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Oh dear God why you had to remind me how I hate to be an European

It sucks to be an European gamer

It just sucks

IT SUUUCKS


You guys got Xenoblade anyway

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It sucks worse to be an Australian gamer.

They have jacked up prices

Apparently sex and violence is really strict there, but they are allowed to publicly make racist comments. A lot of things are banned

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Ah, that too. I think it's even worse in Australia if I'm correct.

 

[BKupa666]

When K. Rool gets revealed, I will take great pleasure in doing two things immediately. First, I will post a "K. Rool's reaction to being playable in SSB4" to contrast with "K. Rool's reaction to not being playable in Brawl." Second, I will go to GameFAQs and jauntily taunt Gohansephiroth, DustofDryBones, and everyone else who preached about how "unlikely" he was.

Then, all the Kutthroats can settle down and drink their rum in the newly-opened K. Rool character board.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I prefer whiskey actually

 

[lobotheduck21]

Ginger Ale for me (underaged)
