My guess for Hero's Classic Mode before he releases

A Fighter Draws Near!

Theme: Hero fights characters that look monstrous in a way.

Stage 1: Kirby

Stage 2: Bowser

Stage 3: Wolf

Stage 4: King K. Rool

Stage 5: Koopaling Horde Battle

Stage 6: Ridley

Boss: Rathalos. A reference to Dragon Lord, the 1st and most iconic villain of Dragon Quest.

Honestly, the Hero is a character that could have any boss at the end.

Rathalos as a stand in for Dragonlord (although it would need Robin as first phase)
Marx as Malroth
Ganon as Estark
Dracula could be Dhoulmagus/Orgodemir
Galleom could count as a Killing Machine
Giga Bowser as Bjorn(cant think of any better one)
Master and Crazy hands as Mortamor

I’m still wondering what Banjo’s classic mode will be, duos were already done.

Maybe characters with big roles on the N64?

They could use characters that reflect the levels and bosses from the BK series.

Im thinking that if no bosses are added, Galleom or Marx could be used as the pair bosses. Galleom as a stand in of the final boss in Tooie and Marx as the stand in of Kazooie since I think Marx is close to Gruntilda.

Sup again. Went to watch 3 episodes of Stranger Things. Have I been missing anything?

...So wait, Rabbids and Steve(Minecraft) work as suggestions? I'm cool with that~

 

[Wademan94]

So does anyone wanna indulge me in discussing ideas for a new Paper Mario game since I brought it up earlier? I’m kinda in the mood for it. If anyone doesn’t remember the ideas I brought up earlier I’d be more than willing to link them again.

You reminded me of how much I need to get into DQ lore. At least so I can get names down.

Anyway, anything particularly interesting going on right now or nah?

Bring back the gameplay we had from the last two games is a good start.

Don't get me wrong Super Paper Mario was decent in its own right but IMO didn't compare to the last two whereas the other two after Super Paper Mario was eh...

Aside from us weighing in each Smash installment, debating Classic Modes for the DLC fighters, Snake realizing she made a huge mistake asking the thread for anything and me asking you guys to indulge me about whatever idea rotates through my brain at the time, nothing much.

That’s what I’m planning on doing, returning to and improving the classic formula though I do wanna potentially expand upon any interesting ideas the later games had as long as they’re able to fit. Did you see some of my ideas I shared before?

Why bother making a new one when V is consistently still near the top of monthly best-selling charts almost 6 years after it's initial release

[Shadowwolflink]

All right. Just for fun. I want to put together a rediculously huge smash roster. I’ll put together a mock select screen in photoshop. I’m taking requests so let me know who you want to see join. Remember, realism is thrown out the window so request away!

Shantae
Rayman
Cuphead
Waluigi
Glover
Bonk
Amy Rose
Phoenix Wright
Morrigan

Apparently the initial roster of MUA3 is 35 characters.

Spoiler: Last one is kinda obvious in hindsight.

Loki. RIP ANTS.

Since Doom is likely to be in the F4 pack, I cannot wait to put Doom, Loki, Magneto and Venom all on a team!

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Like everyone else said, 4 out of every Smash game has pretty much become the black sheep of the franchise now.

1. Everything new in modes and mechanics that 4 has brought, Ultimate already does now and even better.

2. The Base Roster was underwhelming. While there were some good hits like Shulk, Mega Man and Pac-Man. It still wasn't that good IMO. And then you had characters that people loved that were cut like Lucas, Snake, Wolf etc. DLC did fix this a bit with bringing back some vets but Ultimate brought everyone back.

3. The fourth game in general was too focused on the current Product Placement side of Nintendo's products. It felt more advertisey compared to the other games. I mean Lucas and Wolf got low priority because they didn't have a new game out at the time. And most of the new stages were from the newest consoles. Ultimate instead balances this with bringing ballot based characters and more casual friendly characters here as well bringing everyone back. Ultimate definitely was hitting the mark of being a celebration of the series.

4. Bayonetta's and Cloud's addition pretty much broke the balance of 4. And the final overall tournament of this game pretty much sullied 4's reputation at this point.

It's quite shocking to see, given how divided the Melee loyalists vs. Brawl loyalists were in the late 2000s and early 2010s. While I don't like how competitive Brawl feels, it's definitely unique and I like the single players modes a LOT, and there's a lot of love placed into the game. Love was placed into Smash 4 as well, but it does feel like the most forgettable one in hindsight; by far. Now then...replies.

1. Totally agree. I recently tested out Mario in smash 4's training mode, and I'm like "woah...these mechanics feel weird now."

2. I think DLC was a good choice...at first. Bringing back Lucas and Roy and all was good, but toward the end of Smash 4's life they could've utilized the DLC additions better.

3. Yeah, I get ya.

4. This is the point that resonates with me the most. The competitive balance was a big step up from Brawl at first. Sakurai used balance patches, and while they definitely weren't perfect (#BUFFTHEPUFF), overall the competitive balance was not too shabby for the first half of the meta's life. But then...they didn't know how to balance Bayo and Cloud properly, and they ruled over singles and doubles respectively. It seems like they learned from their mistakes, and Ultimate is FAR more balanced. Aside from Mac and Kirby (and possibly Plant), every character seems playable. And, the top tiers don't feel as strong as they were in Smash 4. There isn't really a clear best character (Joker has the best player overall, Pika has the best theory, Peach and Snake have a lot of well-known players and huge player-bases, Wolf can counterpick against pretty much everybody, etc.) and it's really nice to see that Ultimate is in an excellent trajectory at the moment. Smash 4, on the other hand, just faltered and fell and deteriorated mid-2016. Then, when the #BayoGate happened at Frostbite 2018...it was all over.

apparently someoen said he got his **** stright after finishing an Island first insted of leaving in the middle of it in progress so Imma see if that theory is right

Good luck!

My ideal Paper Mario would have a lot of the platforming elements from Super but still be an RPG like the first two.

Sticker Star and Color Splash actually did a decent job of creating the type of game I envisioned. Just change the setting to something more gritty like TTYD and bring the orginal battle system back.

Every time I try to remember any Smash's main theme, the Melee theme just overrides them all. I can do the Brawl one if I sync it up to the reveal trailer in my head. I think my wiring is a bit off.

Was bored so I browsed the comments on a song from Touhou Project.

One of them was someone quoting how someone said "ZUN stole this from Geometry Dash".

I then went back to listening to DQ music.

On to another topic though, did we see similar server maintenance like last night’s prior to the Joker and Plant updates? And if we did, how long before the updates hit did the maintenance occur? It seems like we could have a valuable lead on our hands.

Well there was maintenance the exact time Joker released so... could be anytime between now and the end of Summer.

Funny how Microsoft managed to turn a complete 180 on the public perception of themselves and the Xbox brand. A few years ago around the launch of the Xbone they were a laughing stock and now they're arguably one of the most well-respected publishers/studios around.

Nah, I remember it but it definitely doesn't stand out at all compared to the others.
Melee's theme is still the GOAT though

Ah please mama
Gimme the booze
So what's it 'sposed to mean
If I pee a tsumani?

Hurry mama

Or we get mad
And feed cheese to the cat.

Sorry. Had post what the beginning lyrics of Brawl's Final Destination sounded like not just to me, but to others.

My ideal Paper Mario would have a lot of the platforming elements from Super but still be an RPG like the first two.

Sticker Star and Color Splash actually did a decent job of creating the type of game I envisioned. Just change the setting to something more gritty like TTYD and bring the orginal battle system back.

I basically wanna take the best elements/elements with the most potential from each Paper Mario game and expand/improve on them so long as they fit. Here’s some of the ideas I had for it:

So to start, I want to return the series to its traditional formula with some potential QOL changes but I also wanted to incorporate and better flesh out some elements from SS and CS that have potential.

The partners would return and instead I wanted to limit the number of partners to around 4 or 5 but they’d be much more fleshed out in terms of story relevance, personality, moves inside and outside battle, etc. One such partner I had in mind was a female Reznor I’ve named Rezqueen who’d have a number of abilities and attacks with her horns, fireballs, strength, etc.

The companion character(s) I have are a duo of a magic sentient sketchbook and pencil (who communicate through written dialogue) that potentially belong to the main villain and get separated within the story, Mario has one, Peach has the other. It’s here where I’m thinking about turning this into a story where Peach gets her own side with her own gameplay, battles, partners, etc. (Two of Peach’s partners would be a Toad retainer and Daisy)

A potential villain I have in mind is an artistic sorcerer/sorceress who becomes interested in Bowser and his forces and decides to make him their muse. The sketchbook and pencil see their user becoming obsessed and making dangerous creations and decide to try and stop him/her.

Some other stuff I forgot to mention is that the classic badges would be back but visually resemble the stickers or cards that the characters would have placed in their dedicated pages in the sketchbook so it’s more visually changed than anything.

 

[Ura]

I mean I remember it just fine. Meanwhile 64 is an absolute blur.

64, for me can never be a blur because it was literally one of the first games I ever played.

Hell, I remember fondly the first time playing the game as a 5 year old. It was in the Fall of 2000 and I was eating Pizza in my living room watching my siblings play. DK was my main during those days (64 & Melee) and I thought I was the best player in the world beating Lvl 1 CPU's.

I don’t remember it. I remember Brawls, 4’s and Ultimate’s. But Melee and 64. Nope. I’ve listened to them. Just don’t remember them.
