Smash 4 Social Thread 3.0

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

Xenoblade Chronicles music is just so good.

Mechanical Rhythm sounds really great and is one of my music picks for Smash Run.

Im hoping WiiU version has even more of it. That soundtrack is so amazing.

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

WALUIGI PINBALL, NOW, NOW, NOW!

Also, I love how Sakurai's definition of exciting is something everyone has already seen and some people even hate, at least he's throwing the hype-killer early...

You must be a blast at parties.

Right? Colors would be based off from franchises color (i.e. Red and White for Pokemon), Icons would have textures from franchises (ruin-esque icons for Zelda), and music with a franchise flair (a Mario-version of the theme song).

Why aren't we funding this?

And now, an anime/manga avatar.

I really like how the story of Blue Exorcist is going now. Same goes for Attack on Titan. The wait for the next month is painful!!

Damn, it's been a year since I've started being more dedicated to anime and manga. Time surely flies.

I wonder if the DH/DHD trailer will be as exciting as the rest.
Personally, IMO, Little Mac, Megaman, Robin, and Miis had the best trailers.
Rosalina, Greninja, and Shulk had pretty good trailers
Pac-Man, Palutena, and WFT had alright trailers

 

[Frostwraith]

Best trailer was Robin, hands down.

Overall, the trailers were pretty great, but Robin will always be the best trailer, given the sheer hype I had during it.

As much as I like Robin's trailer, I must say that the one I got the most hype for wasd actually Little Mac's. I just loved the design, the music, it's so good!
Robin's is definitely up there though. Were it not for Robin and Lucina being in Smash 4. I would have never bought Fire Emblem Awakening. And yes, I bought it on the same day, without looking into it, mere hours after the trailer. It was a spur of the moment decision, and I don't regret it.
Megaman's trailer was really epic, I don't think I need to explain why.
Miis had Iwata vs Reggie. 'Nuff said.


On a separate topic though, am I the only one who really wants a Pokemon Ranger 3ds game?

Its kinda wierd the character I had least interest in had the best trailer out of all... except maybe Megaman. Megaman was hype.

But lets not fool ourselves, the reason it was so hype was thanks to Captain Falcon. If it was anyone else, it wouldnt be nearly as good.

Nope, my hype in Robin's trailer was Robin himself, Lucina and all the Fire Emblem greatness.

Have I made it more obvious I'm a big Zelda, Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus fan?

Captain Falcon was a predictable character anyway, so his return wasn't anything special for me. As cool as he is, he's a bit overrated.

Prior to buying FE: A, my hype was for CF only, re-watching the trailer after playing FE: A, my point of view changed entirely.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

The hype I got from that trailer was the lack of Chrom as a character and Robin actually making it in

Though I didn't care for Lucina one bit

I suck at Robin though

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

So here I am sitting in my apartment alone. It's night. My wife is out with a friend who is visiting after a years absence so I am enjoying so quiet time by myself. The kitten is with me; sleeping. We have the rabbit in the other room but he is fairly quiet.

Well, I am watching TV and doing some artwork/catching up on some work when I heard a door slam. It is kind of windy so I thought it was just the wind so I went and checked the doors and such but the only door that is a "door knob"-type door is in the shower area and none of the windows there were open. So I closed it and made sure none of the windows were open.

20 minutes later, the same door slammed again. I went to go check on it and the same door was still closed but I know I heard that door slam. I tried to force it open but it was closed tight so a rogue wind couldn't of pushed it open. It hasn't happened since and it's been a while. The family downstairs tends to be a bit noisy but I knew the door slammed twice and was in my apartment. This is after my wife heard a guy laughing at 4 am when she woke up in the shower room but she said it sounded like it was coming from above but we live on the top story. Also a few days ago, I woke up in the morning to find the window I had closed wide open and I know my wife didn't open it after I closed it. I am not sure what to make of this. I am not sure if I believe that there is some unseen natural force in my apartment but it is a strange occurrence.

I do have an over-active imagination and tend to see things that I know I am not actually seeing. It usually happens when I least expect it. Like one time, I went for a walk and got the feeling someone was following me. I turned around and sure enough saw a strangely tall figure with glowing white eyes about 10 feet behind me. I blinked and it was gone so I have no idea what spurred that vision. I have had them for 15+ years now and I have always thought it was just my imagination and never really seriously attributed it so something supernatural. I have thought about it and even went to see a psychologist about it at one point but nothing came from it. Not jumping to conclusions but it is a bit unsettling. The fact non of my pets freak out and hiss strangely is a bit of a relief. But my kitten is a dumbass. Cute but a dumbass.

 

[Frostwraith]

Tomorrow will be painful...

Having to wait until 11 PM for the Direct in a long busy day. It just had to be on a Thursday.

Prior to buying FE: A, my hype was for CF only, re-watching the trailer after playing FE: A, my point of view changed entirely.

I had played FE:A roughly a year before the trailer and Robin was one of my most wanted characters for Smash 4.

 

[Blargg888]

The hype I got from that trailer was the lack of Chrom as a character and Robin actually making it in

Though I didn't care for Lucina one bit

I suck at Robin though

When it comes to characters I like using, it's all of my previous mains
Pikachu, Toon Link, Luigi, Kirby, and G&W.
The New characters
Robin, Megaman, Pac-Man, Shulk, Miis, DHD/DH
The clones
Lucina, Dark Pit, Dr. Mario
and there are certain characters that have changes made that really appeal to me
Charizard, R.O.B., Bowser, Wario
I never thought I'd like R.O.B. so much. He's really fun to play as.

 

[Staarih]

My favorite trailer was Rosalina's. The "wait, Kirby's in MK8?" fake-out was brilliant and really got me good (the flaming cross didn't occur in the Direct stream I was watching). Greninja's was OK too with the Mewtwo teasing revealing solo-Charizard as well. I wasn't too fussed about Robin's trailer, as I'm not really into Fire Emblem, but it was indeed surprising to see Chrom not make it.

Am I the only person who could tell it wasn't Mewtwo?

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

In my opinion Robin's trailer was the best. I was so hyped for Monado Monday and Shulk, and then I see Chrom. At that point I was expecting both Chrom and Shulk, I was so hype, until I saw Robin. I was so giddy, and at the same time I was finally happy for a "sword and sorcery" character.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

I'm pretty sure I must've watched Robin's trailer like 30 times over the course of a few days. I was so hyped.

 

[Frostwraith]

My favorite characters to play as:
Obviously obvious choice, no? His buffs made him even more awesome to play as. My #1 choice for punishing any fools that dare to stand on my path!
Still getting used to him, but sword and magic combo has always been appealing to me. His bronze sword lacking some range is the only thing still troubling me.
I really like playing as him in this game. The changes from Brawl were greatly positive. A pretty versatile character.
Plays nearly the same as Pit and was one of my most wanted characters, so yeah.
Fast and quite strong too. I'm liking him more and more. Plus, he's a Dark-type Pokémon. I've always wanted one of those in Smash. He was my starter in Y, so...
Has been a favorite of mine since Brawl and he doesn't seem very different in this game, so yeah.
One of my favorite characters in FE:A and plays nearly like Marth? Instant favorite. I actually play as her more than I play as Marth. She's that awesome.

Other characters gaining my favor:
I'm liking her mechanic and some crazy stuff you can potentially pull off.
I'm getting used to his moves and the Monado Arts. You can say I'm really feeling his play style.

Honorable mention:
Buffs from Brawl make her an actually playable character. She was my worst character in Brawl.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

The Psuedo-Direct Legendary is airing here on Friday at 7 am. Luckily, I don't have to be into work until 8:30 on Friday. Unfortunately, I have a presentation to work on that I have to give on Friday afternoon. Thankfully, I don't have any Junior High English classes tomorrow so I can work on it then so I can watch the trailer. Sadly, I won't be home until 10:30 tomorrow night as I have my adult English class from 5 to 9:30 and won't get to sleep until 1'ish most likely. Amazingly, the class pays me $250 a week to basically have English conversations with the workers so it's easy money. Hopefully, I can get some sleep, wake up early, get ready, and watch the Smashing 50. Frighteningly, that door slammed again.

 

[Blargg888]

I actually really like Dark Pit, but I hate using normal Pit. I'm not really sure why.
Also, YAY!
900 posts!
Almost to 1000...

 

[Berserker.]

You can say that Frostwraith...

IS REALLY FEELING IT

HAHAHAHAHAH *shot*

 

[Frostwraith]

@ Venus of the Desert Bloom Have you considered that you could be suffering hallucinations for whatever reason you may not know? You may have some brain-related problem that you may not be aware of.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I like to play as the following:

My main in Brawl and P:M. I really, really really like Zero Suit in Smash 4. Very happy with these changes.
Marth and Roy fan since Melee. Never played Awakening but I like Lucina.
Never played the Zard back in Brawl but started to pick him up and I love it
Palutena isn't that great of a character with beyond horrible default moves but I like the character and I like playing as her.
My previous main in Brawl and P:M. I like the Phantom Slash but I just don't like this adaption. I still like her though but she lost out due to ZSS.
I often used Shielda as well. I like Shiek a lot and used him/her back in Melee. Bouncing Fish is a fun attack.
Ganondorf is my all time favorite villain so playing as him is kind a thrill for me despite his uncreative move set.
Bowser Jr is a fun addition that I have given a spin on several occasions.
An old favorite from Brawl that still keeps on kicking.

@ Venus of the Desert Bloom Have you considered that you could be suffering hallucinations for whatever reason you may not know? You may have some brain-related problem that you may not be aware of.

Yeah, I have considered this and even had a CAT scan before but nothing was found considering why I have these visions. It was back in HS so maybe things changed? At times, I see just shapes and shadows like I have my glasses off. Sometimes they are crystal clear. I also have very bizarre and detailed dreams when I sleep. A couple of nights ago, I had a dream that there was a massive earthquake where I lived and I was trying to get my wife and her family out before the tsunami hit. However, we couldn't out drive the waves and I tried to save my mother in law but she got swept away from the car. We somehow crashed into a house and were able to climb out of the house. The sun was setting and it made the entire flooded area look like blood. Entire houses and families were going under the waves in my dream. A helicopter arrived and gave us a rope and we managed to grab a hold and pulled us up. I remember calling my family and telling them the sad news.

I also had a dream I was being stalked in my house (when I was in high school) by a feathered crocodile named Bartholomew and he spoke with a Cockney accent....

Loving the new Rin avatar btw.
If I had to pick favorite characters I'd say:
: I stay loyal to Link and Kirby, but he's not as fun as Link. Depends who I'm playing.
: Love Goetia and Arcfire Wall. Fun to play with in team battles and free-for-alls.
: Link is so much more fun to play in this iteration, with customs on it's hell for others in free-for-alls. Dem power arrows.
I occasionally mess around with Little Mac and Mii. I'm thinking of picking up Pit.

 

[Frostwraith]

Forgot to mention how I like much more now thanks to the buffs. is still great to play as well.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

My favorite characters in this title

- A pretty obvious favorite, she brings a lot more to the table than the other two clones, that and her voice actor is also the one for Blaze the Cat.

- My 2nd favorite this time, at least he's a better play nowadays, that and he's just becoming more friendly with Nintendo.

- Childhood laugh idol.

- Best Retro Character EVER.

- What can I say? He's my favorite pokemon.

And fixed your post as well.

 

[Knight Dude]

As for the characters I used the most so far. A top ten of sorts. Honorable mention goes to Fox. But I haven't used him as much this time.

: Mega Man's my main. Pretty fun to use in most situations. There's some cool stuff you can use with the Metal Blades and Crash Bombs. I like that he's got some heaviness to him, makes him harder to launch than most of the others I use. Can't forget the Rush Cancels.

/: I've always used Mario in Smash, he's the Ryu of the game. Simple and fun to fight with. Can't decide which version I like more.

: Samus is another really fun character to me. Though I find it a bit harder to get kills with as opposed to Mega Man and Mario. I'll need to get better.

: Sheik's still cool in this game. Not too sure if she's nerfed or not, but I don't care too much. The grenade is pretty fun to use. But I need to get better with that Down-B attack.

: Another one of my favorites. He might be slow as hell, but he gets the job done. Fire Hydrant shenanigans are pretty great. And c'mon, he's Pac-Man.

: Rosalina is a bit hard for me to use properly. But she's one of the more interesting characters in this game.

: Even though he's the Flowchart Ken of this game, I still like Little Mac.

: Ganon is still a beast. Feel good to send fools flying bruh.

: Surprisingly more fun in this game than in Brawl. I think it's the recovery attacks.

: He's pretty fast compared to his Brawl Version. And he still feels just as strong too.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

• We've found data within the game itself that hints towards DLC.
• Namco hired for "Smash 6" quite a while ago.
• You surely must understand that the "year" statement was an exaggeration. They work on many at a time.
• Sakurai has contradicted himself many times.
• The Wii U version might just come with more characters right off the bat.

Now I know what you're thinking, "but Sakurai said the rosters would be the same!" Think about this:

Sakurai made two separate statements.

1. The rosters will be the same.
2. The 3DS will not hold back the Wii U version.

Now, according to the man himself, they made the Ice Climbers, they worked fine on the Wii U, but the 3DS caused them to be cut. But wait, that means he lied about the second statement. But if they are Wii U exclusive, then the first statement is untrue.

The point being, Sakurai lied no matter the outcome. We're not going to not get characters just because Sakurai said so.
If that makes any sense.

As Vaanrose pointed out before, he said the 3DS will hold back the Wii U version in terms of the roster at best. So he didn't contradict himself. Also, he gave us DLC via a first day new Mode. He clearly worked on DLC already before release(and calling a new Mode a "patch" is ridiculous. That's not what they're for. They just fix errors/exploits/help balance the game. A new Mode is regular DLC by all classic fanon definitions full stop.

Little Mac is easy to deal with using air dominant characters.

I've once made a Little Mac player rage quit when I owned him as Dark Pit.

I didn't know that about Lucina. Great now every time I play a Lucina all I'm going to be thinking is "MAKA CHOP" and "Come along Gluttony".

I've once made a Little Mac player rage quit when I owned him as Dark Pit.

Against the few Little Mac Players I went up against, I didn't really need to stay in the air. Just constantly shoot at him. And when he does get too close, then I actually jump somewhere.

I didn't know that about Lucina. Great now every time I play a Lucina all I'm going to be thinking is "MAKA CHOP" and "Come along Gluttony".

She's also the voice of Chun-Li, Black Widow and Kid Trunks. Laura Bailey is her name I think.

We're both right. Laura Bailey voices Lucina, Blaze the Cat, AND those characters you've mentioned.

But it terms of actual gameplay, Doc does have more to offer. Different Down-B and Down Air from the original Mario. The pills and Super Jump Punch are also different enough from Mario.

From a gameplay perspective, Lucina just lacks the tipper mechanic.
