While everyone is complaining about Vectoring, I'm celebrating Bowser Junior in Smash 4 still.
I'm still on the Blue Bomber hype train. Because the greatness never ends. But Bowser Jr. is easily one of the most interesting new characters in Smash 4.

I am not with the times
The most recent game I have is Guacamelee on my sister's Wii U and Pokemon X on my 3DS
I don't even have Mario Kart 7/8 or 3D Land/World
I want 3D Land tho
But I had no money for the eShop Smashing Sale at the time
Or now
I'm broke
Anyone care to donate?
3D World should take priority if you ask me. I have 3D Land, and it's solid. But 3D World has way better bosses and more variety in it's levels.

Oh, so that's a thing that I got then. Well, that's a thing I guess

What I'm really excited about is new tracks. Link is cool, but I believe tracks are at the heart of Mario Kart (though it could be items depending on who you ask).
Yeah. Tracks are the best part of Mario Kart. Not to say the idea of running people over with Mario or Shy Guy isn't cool though.

I want to see Mute City and be upset Captain Falcon wasn't one of the DLC characters for MK8.
What were you thinking, Nintendo?!

Don't worry. He'll be in the Smash DLC Pack with Sonic and Dr. Mario/Pikachu. :troll:

And I have been happily drinking all the tears of people who wanted Bowser Jr with his paintbrush.

It's weird how the last 2 games Captain Falcon was in aren't even F-Zero games. He really should be DLC character. He's an insanely popular character thanks to Smash. Falcon deserves to leave racers in the dust once again.

Thinking about it, the only place where there's really Sakurai bias on Kid Icarus is Smash Run.

[collapse="Breakdown"]Characters - Around 3 characters is what I believe to be perfect representation from series with lots of characters. You have the two most important characters and one less important but still noteworthy and relevant character. This is one of the reasons I'm upset with Lucas and Wolf being cut since they brought something from their respective series that cannot be replaced. Lucas was the protagonist of his game and Wolf was a recurring foe from his series, after all.
Stages - 1 stage per version. Nothing really wrong here.
Assist Trophies - 2 like many other series. It's an okay number when major series like Mario, Zelda and Metroid get more and EarthBound has 2 as well.
Items - 6 items isn't bad. Mario, Zelda and other series also have a lot of items. Plus, KIU's items work really well in Smash, which can't be said about some other series' items.
Smash Run enemies - This is where Sakurai went overboard by having a bigger number of enemies than even Mario.[/collapse]

And I have been happily drinking all the tears of people who wanted Bowser Jr with his paintbrush.
Clown Car Bowser Jr. in Smash is one of the best things ever.

(He still uses the paintbrush for the Final Smash. :p)

By the way, speaking of Mario Kart 8's DLC, how does it work for online play? I mean, not everyone will have DLC content, after all...

I'm guessing the DLC content will be put in the game with a patch, and paying for the DLC will simply unlock it. That way, you can still play on stages you haven't paid for / see characters you didn't pay for but cannot use those yourselves.
And before that, you'll just have every single menu remind you that there's DLC you can buy, along with characters icon taunting you in the character select screen.

Johnny Bravo confirmed for Smash 4. That's what's going on. :troll:
It fits to me because Johnny Bravo was a playable character in that Super Smash Bros. plagiarizer Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion (although he was only playable in the XL edition).

Now I want to play that game again.

Like in a lot of fighting games that have DLC, there's probably a patch update that at least allows you to fight against these characters. If I'm not mistaken, MK9 and Injustice had done this method. Tekken Tag 2 might have as well. I see Mario Kart having a similar situation.

But what about the new race tracks? There's either 2 ways they can get around that:
  • The new tracks will not appear within an online group if one of them hasn't bought the DLC pack.
  • They keep racers segregated on servers so that they get paired up so that whole groups will have either DLC, or non-DLC.

Seems kind of shady to put the content on a patch, but the content is still locked away. It's a bit like disc locked content, except not as bad, but I guess it's the only way online play can work.

Seems like Smash could do the same thing... DLC in Smash 4 could be great. They could bring back veterans like Wolf, Lucas and Mewtwo or release some newcomers that would advertise new games like Splatoon or Xenoblade Chronicles X. Potentially great marketing strategies.

Honestly, that was a really good game. It was by far the best Smash clone to me.

Just finished my first Let's Play! Just for S&Gs I made a memorial of all of my fallen Pikmin. LMAO

Now I need another game to help last me these next 2 weeks... :urg:

I would say it's mostly for the sake of compatibility. That way everyone can at least play together. And yeah, Smash 4 DLC could be cool. Hopefully if there's any new characters, they'll be fun to play as.

I'd say Jump Ultimate Stars is the best "Smash" clone. That game was legit. It's not every day you get to Kamehameha the Death Note guy in the face.

Well, the other alternative is outright stopping players from playing with those who bought the DLC (be it characters or races). It would end up in a huge split between the two communities, and it's a pretty awful outcome, all considering. Same for Smash in a way : could you imagine people with DLC characters unable to play with people who didn't buy them? The online would be a complete mess.
As for DLC characters, I just hope Nintendo has plans with the Mother series to justify Lucas being DLC, I'd love the little guy to be back, since most of the others cuts (barring Ice Climbers) would be shoo-in.

So I just noticed that the demo remembered what costume I last used for each character even after I turned it off.

I don't recall anything like that in the previous Smashes. No need to swap over to female Robin ever!

Probably very late on this.

Amen to that! Sure, it's not all that polished, but it's pretty dang impressive/great SSB rip-off (especially being made by a nobody company) and love it SOO much!

Captain K'Nuckles is too stronk. I set up those little statues, the player runs into them and gets stunned, and I smash them right in the face. Good times.

Kamehameha is not good enough punishment for Light Yagami. Dropping Dio's Road Roller on his face is much better.

**** Light Yagami.
