Smash 4 Social Thread 3.0

[Jason the Yoshi]

Here's the plan, after my class today I gather TONS of moulin helmets and then go on Lana's route

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

Made me think of this

 

[Kenith]

UGH, I need that Direct announcement already!
The suspense is killing me.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

UGH, I need that Direct announcement already!

8 Player Smash is confirmed.

Watch me.

It could be anytime really knowing Nintendo could be next week could be in 3 weeks.

I can see there being one next week. They've been doing them bi-monthly quite consistently lately and this is around the time I can see them hyping up the Wii U version.

 

[StarBot]

I didn't know they're making a Direct...

Hmm...

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Holy crap, Captain Melonhead is a real superhero after all and he isn't bald.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Dang, I missed my 6000th post.

 

[D-idara]

I killed Wario and blew up his bike at the same time and Smash 4 crashed.
I have no idea what actually happened but I'll just attribute it to that.

So basically, supernovas make this game crash and burn?

I think so maybe? It could have been something entirely unrelated but I think it was probably that.

 

[Kenith]

This is the best mashup ever created:

And yet another reason why Junior is better than the Koopalings.

 

[Blargg888]

Good morning guys! What's going on?

 

[Deleted member]

Good morning guys! What's going on?

Morning?
...**** I should probably go to bed.

 

[Blargg888]

Morning?
...**** I should probably go to bed.

8:52 AM here. Yep. Morning for me.

 

[Knight Dude]

So, what's going on today? Not much yet I imagine.

 

[Kenith]

And yet another reason why Junior is better than the Koopalings.

The chorus kills me every time.
"I'm gonna knock you out!"
"Ha HA!"
"Mama said knock you out!"
"YEAH!"

This guy is a genius.

Ah, did Sakurai finally reveal Game & Watch on the website? Heh, he-

@ Bedoop

If I see any of you, in any capacity, try to pull that **** you did earlier to cause this mess, I will figuratively have you drawn and quartered.

I will not tolerate it. You will be finding yourselves off this website much quicker than D-idara ever would if you think it's amusing/funny to do this crap.

oh and this applies to anyone else. Seeing as people are seemingly making a habit out of it.

Don't bother replying or attempting to justify any of it. I'm off for now, sorry to everyone else for this footnote.

Wow. The one night I decided NOT to use my computer, everything goes completely wrong. Now I'm glad I wasn't available yesterday.

 

[Staarih]

Man, I sort of hate Smash Run. It's really giving me a hard time or then I just suck royally. I don't really enjoy it at all haha! Winning with every character isn't going to be a treat, luckily it only takes like 5 minutes to clear a round so it's not that bad I guess...

I'm glad I went to sleep before all that happened.
Jeesh, what has happened can't be undone, I guess. :\

As much as I enjoy Smash Run, it has a lot of issues. I feel some of the Smash Bros gameplay elements doesnt translate too well there. I would honestly write a huge write up on the game design faults and how to improve Smash Run if anyone is interested. It's fun for me to analyzing game design, it's something important to me!

 

[DraginHikari]

I actually like Smash Run... though part of that might be that Smash Run fits perfectly into my breaks at work where I can slip a game in here or there without much commitment.

I just get frustrated when I'm constantly knocked back and forth between fifteen enemies up to crazy percents, unable to control my character or kill the enemies. It's like a shortened version of SSE.

This is exactly one of the big issues I have with Smash Run. The knock backs does not translate too well into this type of game mode. The fast pacing and the whole explore around the huge dungeon destroying foes in your way just does not mesh well with strong knock backs. It hurts the pacing and make the experience overall frustrating. I think what should've been done is replace the damage % system with Stamina HP. It'll give the game less reasons make you get knocked back too far and the enemies' combat would focus more on just depleting your health.

I don't see the problem with the knockback.

 

[RamOne]

Let me just say I'm happy I'm in an entirely different timezone making me miss last night.
And I like Smash Run. I just wish it had online and the option to choose the final battle before you start.

@ Kenith : That would be cool. Free is always nice and if it has different announcer calls, it would be perfect. As long as it makes sense and not something stupid like Mr. L.

 

[Kenith]

What do you guys think of clone characters or alt costumes being free DLC?
Like Black Shadow, Toon Zelda, etc.

 

[Naoshi]

I originally didn't mind it but it gets too frustrating when I want to pick up a bunch if items that expires quickly. My other issue is that theyre sometimes too strong, making me too open for attack and unable to do anything for a bit. It doesn't help when enemies spams their attacks on you a lot.

 

[Radical Bones]

Yep, I 100% agree. It's exactly the same problem as the SSE. No game is fun if you can't control your character. Some of the enemies are the wrong kind of annoying, like the Devil Car, Koffing, Mimicutie and Crygonol.

Do you equip powers?

SSE never had that problem though.

I'm all for it, just so long as the choices would make sense as clones.

 

[Cobalsh]

Smash Run is all right, I honestly think it's better with friends, especially if they're having a bad time. All you hear is, "Damn it. Damn it. DAMN IT! ****! *dies* Sonuvabitch!"

Those are my favorite times.

 

[Naoshi]

Do you equip powers?

Yep, I'm speaking of general for that mode though. It's more or less that I don't like the flow of the combat, it doesn't really mesh well.

Protoman and Roll costumes, that would be pretty sick. Of course, there's always Ms. Pac-Man too, I know a lot of people wanted her to be a costume as well.

It's so annoying doing a 5-minute run for a final battle where stats hardly even matter. Or having, like, triple your opponents run/jump stats and all being worse off.

If I could know exactly what happened yesterday because I just have no idea, then maybe I'll understand this tag.

Like the only thing I know is that a sort of argument went badly on clones, didn't want to read everything so jumped to the last page and it apparently was a good decision to not read it.

But seriously, did it got out of hand like this?

"Cool, I got a ton of Attack and Defense power-ups! I'm unstoppable!"

FINAL BATTLE: RACE TO THE FINISH

"Well, ****."

 

[Naoshi]

Alt costumes is a very tough thing to do without making it feel too artificial. Like... idk, I'm never really a huge fan of different characters becoming Alt Costumes for other characters most of the times. Because then it'd never felt like I'm genuinely playing as them. In some cases it does work though like Alph for Olimar considering they both do the same exact things with no gameplay differences, and with Bowser Jr and the Koopalings since you're really just piloting the clown car.

But I cannot really see Sakurai go making random alts for other characters, I feel like say... Knuckles or Tails as Sonic wouldn't feel right because they all have different defining abilities or Waluigi being a Luigi alt wouldn't make sense either since their personalities (which is reflected on Luigi's moveset) and their height/body shape (meaning diff hitboxes) are completely different.

"Cool, I got a ton of Attack and Defense power-ups! I'm unstoppable!"

FINAL BATTLE: RACE TO THE FINISH

"Well, ****."

Ugh, yeah, I hated that as well. I wish they'd warn us in the middle of Smash Run on what the Final Match going to be. They sort of do that sometimes, but not every time...
