Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - August 25th

I like how Mario gets more upset the higher the intensity. Kind if wish it would change based on what character you're playing as though.

That's always going to be Mario?? That's kinda stupid.

 

[WinterShorts]

Only 7 levels in classic? The past games have had like 11 or 13. Sure there's multiple pathways, but man classic mode will be quick.

SSJ 4 Gogeta final boss confirmed.

 

[MM720]

For the intensity boss change I'm sure it will be one of the following things:

1: Master & Crazy Hand

2: Tabuu, Galleom or Duon

3: Hades from Kid Icarus Uprising (because troll Sakurai) or some other major villain from a Nintendo franchise (Demise, Porky, King Boo, Black Shado and such. Maybe it will depend on the character?)

4: New Character that acts like Giga Bowser from melee (powered-up form of an existing character or brand new boss like the subspace guys from brawl). Giga Bowser himself probably won't be a boss since he's a final smash.

 

[SvartWolf]

Did y'all forget about the Music section being updated? Sakurai is delivering already!

dang, you beat me to it...

I though that this update was too boring,so I checked the brand new music section and surprise.

The nintendogs tune is surprisingly good

 

[WooMooWooWooMoo]

0² from Kirby 64 would be a sick nasty final boss fight.

 

[DrizzyDrew]

crazy hand confirmed...ORR maybe just maybe...THE POWER GLOVE AS A NEW HAND BOSS! calling it here!

 

[liets]

Maybe you have to fight Master Hand and Crazy Hand together like in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror.

...Or like in Super Smash Bros...

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

UGH I freaking hate the gold challenge thing in Kid Icarus. I HATE getting punished for losing and than having to start at an easier level. It's so infuriating. IF I want to keep tying to play the game at the difficulty level I choose until I master it, than I should be able to. Not limited and knocekd down a level. I really didn't like this feature in KI and never finished the single player of that game. Probably because or something like this.

I just don't like being forced into a mode I didn't originally pick. It's like picking a game on "very hard" you die, lose your gold, and the game tells you "no you're going to play this on medium". WTF I didn't pick that.

I dunno. I can't be the only person who found that problematic.

I actually like it. That system is the perfect balance between casual players who just want to have a nice stroll and those who look for a difficult challenge. And the intensity lowering to punish you for dying actually encourages you to play better on your next try by being more careful and advancing strategically; it also avoids discouraging lesser players to give up due to the high difficulty; not to mention that by succeeding you get generous rewards depending on how much gold you put. This is basically the game's way to tell you "What's that? You wanted to clear this on the highest difficulty? Well then, you shouldn't have died there buddy. Git gud, son".

 

[RPGatWill]

So at the end waits master hand, but if you change the intensity he might change into something else.

Seems most likely to switch between him and Crazy Hand, and maybe at the highest difficulties you fight both of them at once. That would be my guess.

 

[PlateProp]

"Fiend's Scale"?

So...we're bargaining with a Demon?
That is so Frackin Metal.

Suddenly you realize that Smash is now in Shin Megami Tensei and it all makes sense

 

[DavemanCozy]

I would like to see normal bosses (Ridley, The Emperor, Yellow Devil) as mid-bosses. That would be cool

 

[ShaDoW4408]

Didnt we get something exactly like this not to long ago? If so whats the difference?

Nah the section about the classic mode was added to the website, but Sakurai himself never poster a PotD about it explaining it. Admittedly his explanation is just vague hints and riddles, but then again this is the man who posted nintendogs like five times so...

Mmmm i knew this had to be similar well thanks for the confirmation guess only difference is Sakurai made a PotD.

 

[Bedoop]

Time to tip the Fiend's Scales?

 

[A_Phoenix_Down]

That's what I'm seeing happening. I'm hoping to see something like:

• Metal Mario (Metal Bros with high intensity)
• Ridley (Meta Ridley on high intensity)
• Dark Pit / Dark Link combo with a different and/or stronger moveset than the playable Pit and Link (perhaps even the ability to use ALL they're moves including default and custom moves)
• Sigma
• Mini-Hands in the form of a "Yoshi Team" kind of fight
• Some kind of Legendary Pokemon (Rayquaza was a good one in Brawl)

Regardless, I'd like to see much more creative boss battles

 

[Raph_the_Great]

I agree

Just remember that the character unlocks come after the Master hand/Crazy Hand fight. Like in all other Smash games. They wouldn't have it instead of.

Probably a logo for a different type of non-Smash event, since it has a trophy above it. It's probably a quick minigame for collecting them or something.

It's Mega Man's Logo, with a Kremling trophy above. probably meaning that you get the trophy if you beat him.

And Damn! The Music in this game is Frikkin Awesome!

 

[sWiTcHeRoO [疾~斬]]

That probably makes sense too. I mean it does look like it, but you'd kinda thing the hole at the gear's center would be at least barely visible.

 

[LordCQ]

I was hoping for something like the "Destined Battle" from Soul Calibur 2... Y'know, Mario vs Bowser, Link vs Rafael Ganondorf, etc.

 

[bkslider]

I hope the intensity means higher computer level rather than just more health for bosses and stuff.

As far as we know, the levels range from 1 to 10, where the scale goes from 0 to 9. It could match up (0=lv 1, etc), but I feel it's a bit unlikely.

Also, I like the idea of the demon being the intense boss.

 

[Enchlore]

I'm thinking that the Fiend seen in the intensity screen is the secret final boss.

 

[ShyKChan]

I definitely like the alternate final boss thing. Guess I'm gonna be playing Classic a lot now, just to see all the possible paths and bosses!

 

[KatKit]

Imagine if you had to fight all of the stage hazards afterward.

Actually... semi off topic... did boss battles return? I'd love to fight Twin Rova.

I disagree. I feel like it's added grinding to get those coins back when I could just be playing the level again on Very Hard. I REALLY hated this feature and I'm really disappointed it's returning. I may not even play this mode because of it. :/ It really kept me from finishing KI Uprising and it's a shame that I know and predict it will do the same for me with this game. I understand getting better but everyone's skills are different and improve different. I like to just keep doing the mode I'm playing until I get it right. If I get knocked down to another mode is REALLY discouraging. It might work for some folks but it will definitely turn others off.

It's just gonna be the very hard mode with lvl 9 enemies. No difference from brawl or melee so I don't see the problem.

The rewardsystem sounds fair to me. If you want more it'll cost you more. Like gambling. Just be aware of your skill level. You don't HAVE TO choose the highest level. That's the brilliance of it.

I suppose but I like the choose as high as I can go and fear I'll be knocked down to start else where. I can see where the system will be rewarding for some but I think for people who like to keep at it even when it's tough, it'll be a punishment or repetition. Maybe I'll appreciate it more since this is Smash and NOT Kid Icarus Uprising. It's different gameplay and maybe I won't have the same problems but I'm super cautious and still wish it were like previous versions.

That or I guess I can play Smash Run more.

that's right. It's a totally different game. The reward feels different. It's a fighting game, not an adventureaction shooter whtvr kid icarus is.
