Social Smash 4 Social Topic 2.0

[Robert of Normandy]

In Canada, you have the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party as the primary political groups (followed closely by the New Democratic Party). Easier to remember where they stand, this way.

I'm horrendously uninformed when it comes to political ideologies; the level of my ignorance is probably embarrassing. I'll need to figure out where I stand on all these political/economic/social issues at some point.

In any case, thanks for the informative reply. Let us now resume the Great Discourse of the Smash.

Always happy to help people stay informed!

Can't say I know a thing about Canadian politics, but if you have any questions about American politics, feel free to ask!

So, what are people's hopes for this coming week? So far this month we've got a new character, an assist trophy, and a new stage for the 3DS. I'm hoping they don't snuff Tropical Freeze altogether simply because it's not the Japanese release of the games and show something DK related.

Yeah, I'm hopeful we get a DK:TF reveal.

....I don't know.

I've never been the kind of person to try and predict Smash stuff for the week. Revealing Diddy shortly after Mac would be cool.

I mean we got Zelda a week after we got Rosalina.
I don't see why we can't get a DKC character next week Friday after getting Little Mac this week

It has been a pretty good month thus far, hasn't it?

I've seen mumblings about a Diddy(and Dixie?) confirmation on the 21st (though I forget the reasoning). Getting two characters a month isn't impossible, even with Newcomers (Rosalina+Zelda in December, Dedede+Lucario in January).

It'd be nice to get at least something DK-related before the end of the month. We don't even have confirmation on a DK stage yet (because one of them is Gangplank Galleon).

 

[Metal Overlord]

I know I'm late asf on this, but ayyye Little Mac made it in!! turn up!! lol

I can't wait til we starting getting info on the modes tho

DKC:TF is released in NA and Europe on the 21st.

 

[mimgrim]

I'm gonna go out on a limp and say Ness is going to be the next character shown.

Just a feeling. :L

Little Mac with Isaac (as an AT).
My bet for next week.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I'd love at least a DK stage to celebrate Tropical Freeze.

At most and being greedy I'd love a stage, Diddy, and Dixie. Also K. Rool and Cranky.

But you know what they say about greediness.

 

[Fatmanonice]

I honestly think two characters a month will be the norm until at least E3 because there's still a ton of characters who are pretty much guaranteed to come back that haven't been shown yet.

 

[Thirdkoopa]

Knowing Sakurai...

"We're three months late on this? Please understand."

What's good homie?! Haven't seen you in a minute!

Yeah, the only mode that has been hinted at aside from the multiplayer, is the single player. And we only received only 1 daily pic talking about that.

 

[Johnknight1]

Yeah......**** Oompa-Loompas!

AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE
BECAUSE STONE COLD THE MEN OF MOONKNIGHT (LEADERS) SAID SO!!!!

 

[Fatmanonice]

Little Mac with Isaac (as an AT).

Oh god... that'd be devious on a whole different level. There's no way Sakurai would be that ballsy.

Lucario was technically revealed last month...

Thankfully, this is the shortest month of the year.

I just been outcheaaaa lol but yeah homie I been good, what about you though?

and yeah, with Subspace Emissary gone, I wonder if they'll just bring it back to what Adventure Mode was like in Melee, or if they got something completely new up for it

 

[Sehnsucht]

Like others, I suspect we'll have an Adventure Mode-style campaign. You'd have periodic side-scrolling levels (more Melee than SSE), but you'd also have actual bosses (like in SSE). And of course, you'd have your actual matches interspersed throughout.

In this scenario, the stages, bosses, and matches would likely differ between systems, so as to better reflect console VS handheld history.

And the Dragon King is the secret final boss.

Me? I'm cold as ****! New Jersey looks like DK island with all this snow! 12inches dropped since yesterday and today.

*Drake voice*
But ***** we made it! Little Mac looking majestic!
I'm still hyped up from yesterday!

I'm really hoping for something similar to Adventure mode in Melee. I don't want to play through generic environments loosely based on franchises like we did in SSE.

 

[Johnknight1]

Believe in the lego people?

I believe they taste good to 2 year olds. #Food

 

[TheLastJinjo]

So that was a cool Nintendo Direct. I was kind of enraged by the announcment of yet another Nintendo game that uses the "Big brother beats the game for you" system.

So that less experienced players can have a fun and safe experience

I also hope that when I play Mario Kart 8 I don't end up facing off against all Koopalings.

 

[Fatmanonice]

And then it was Rosalina and Zelda before that in December so it stands that this is probably the case anyways. So, if this is true... we're likely going to get at least 7 people before E3. One of those will probably be a newcomer because we get a major Direct about every 2 months so that brings it to 6 veterans. In my opinion, these are the "obvious" veterans left (meaning it's almost impossible that they'll be cut):

-Wario
-Metaknight
-ZSS
-Diddy
-Ice Climbers
-Yoshi
-Captain Falcon
-Ness
-Falco
-Ganondorf
-Mr. Game and Watch

Definitely a lot of people to choose from...

 

[TheLastJinjo]

BTW, The kazoo music in the "Yoshi's New Island" trailer gave the perfect feeling of "We don't give a ****."

 

[MSmariosonic]

Somehow I feel like my comments are the most random.

 

[andimidna]

It's a reference to when Little Mac was revealed as an assist trophy:

http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/assist/assist10.html

Samus is 6'3 so she's abnormally tall for a woman while Little Mac is abnormally short for a man (I think he's even shorter than Mario).



Peach could be an actual peach and people would find a way to sexualize her.

I hope Ike is revealed on February 22 and has a reference to that assist reveal for Brawl.

Didn't you hear? Little Mac is replacing Captain Falcon.

Given how insanely fast Mac is in the trailer, he can probably compete in the F-Zero Grand Prix on foot.

Tbh, with the exception of Smash Bros, Kart, and X, I was very underwhelmed and disappointed. But all I wanted was a new character for Smash, and that's what I got, so I'm satisfied.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Well there's somebody I haven't seen in awhile. XD

Hey there, dude. ¦D

Well, the 22nd is a Saturday, so...

What about Bayonetta 2? That trailer was sick IMO

Well, the 22nd is a Saturday, so...

Fine, 24th... or 21st...
Either way,
Gimme Ike.

lmao I swear! my ***** over here it's like Icicle Mountain in this mf lol but I ain't trippin

but yeah I feel you on Little Mac, maaan I'm honestly really happy with the character selections so far; I don't even care who gets in at this point

and yeah, on that single player mode tip, I really hope the Smash squad come through for Events this time, I used to be all over them in Melee

That kazoo was catchy, man! :D

A stage. Please.

 

[Metal Overlord]

Well there's somebody I haven't seen in awhile. XD

Hey there, dude. ¦D

lol wassup! yeah it has been a while

 

[Knight Dude]

What just happened? Politics in Smashboards. Eh, whatever. Glad I missed it.

Abuse to animals. Boycott Smash 4.

To be fair, Sonic had it coming. What with all those sub-par and or terrible games released recently. Colors and Generations were cool though.

Yeah. In a good way.

That kazoo was catchy man! :D

Oh hey, you're a mod now.

 

[Thirdkoopa]

Have we even had a DK Stage? Asides from "That one in Smash 3DS that we still don't know is or isn't a DK stage"

Heck, a lot of franchises haven't had stages. I'm looking at you, Star Fox and Kirby
