SSB4 Theories Thread

[RODO]

Thought this would be a cool thread to make, and I feel like there are a lot of theories thrown around the Leaks thread that are usually off topic. This could be used for things such as the smoke trails being hit stun, why Sakurai chose certain newcomers, what the Wii U and 3DS connectivity will be, etc. Have fun!

 

[Xigger]

I wish I made a list of theories BEFORE they were announced, but here we go:

• Final Smashes will be a part of Custom Move Sets.
• The Smash Run stats will be a part of Wii U connectivity, but will be used to unlock Custom Move Set moves.
• The CPU difficulty will be influenced from Kid Icarus Uprising (lots of KI:U influence)
• The scrapped Ditto copy ability from Melee will return, thanks to optimized CPUs
• Here's one: the playable Pokemon are secretly Sakurai's Pokemon X team.

What do you mean by "scrapped Ditto copy ability"? I haven't heard of that I don't believe.

 

[soviet prince]

all characters are actually just dittos

If you've watched a Youtube channel called DYK Gaming. There are Smash Bros.videos. In Melee, there was code for Ditto in the game, but was scrapped.

· Triforce Slash won't appear again. Toon Link will have it's own Final Smash and regular Link will have a Fi "masterswording" attack. That trophy was a hint.
· Snake won't show up this time. His moveset, though, is so special and original that Saku does not want to loose... Solution? Advance Wars character (Andy, probably).
· Meta Ridley is too big. That's why he is a stage boss. But regular Ridley is not THAT big...
· Alt. costumes will be a constant in this game. Paper Mario, classic Sonic, classic Pit, other Link versions...
· That Tiki trophy seemed to say: "bye Ike, hello Chrom".
· I think Palutena, Ridley, Chrom and Shulk are the only newcomers to be announced.

Ditto was meant to be a Pokemon in Melee but was scrapped. You can have it appear through hacking but all it does is say its Japanese name Meta, spin and disappear.

 

[MySmashmains6]

Everyone from the Brawl roster will return.

 

[QuickRat]

Hm... Even Snake?

 

[LOGIA666]

I hope so. He was my main in Brawl/Project M.

Wow that's interesting lol

 

[MySmashmains6]

Yes, even Snake. The only reasons I can think of harming Snake's chances are licensing issues and time constraints.

Yes, that's my opinion too. I think he could be replaced by an Advance Wars character. I mean, that moveset was unique. It was perfect. And most of Nintendo characters wouldn't fit such a moveset... Except for Advance Wars people...

I kind of feel like Sakurai would want Snake back but that Nintendo wouldn't. Kojima isn't showing the much love lately unfortunately.

Well Kojima has said he wants to see Snake back. There is also the fact Raiden's voice actor mentioned voicing Raiden in Smash Bros. but that his role is different to other games.

Raiden in Smash would be sick.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Raiden in Smash would be sick.

The way he described it, it sounded like Raiden was part of Snake's codec or an AT.

 

[QuickRat]

Call me "conservative" or "classic", but I don't like characters, assist trophies, stickers, stages and stuff from non-Nintendo games.

Pfft, conservative Smasher

Oh well :/

I am sorta like that as well, but I guess I'm just used to it at this point.

Eh, depends on the third party character for me

Anyways. I have no idea who's getting cut besides Pokemon Trainer and maybe Jigglypuff.

I'm pretty sure Pit's final smash change and psuedo-palutena means that Palutena's definitely coming to the fight.

Also I'm guessing the roster's gonna be in either the late 40's or early 50's

 

[RODO]

Does anyone have any ideas about the "stuff we might have missed" that Nintendo was hinting at in the trailer?

 

[abrinx77]

"Stuff we might have missed" could refer to literally anything. There were plenty of hidden details in that trailer that weren't particularly pointed out by Sakurai. Things like the dragoon piece showing up on the Halbred, Samurai Goroh being an assist trophy without being mentioned, the possibility that all of the Pokemon in Charizard/Greninja's trailer were all Pokeball/Masterball Pokemon even though some of them weren't specifically shown off. The running theory though, is that the four trophies shown off during the Trophy Quiz section, were hinting at four possible newcomers, one for each of the series represented by the trophies. Chrom, Gihrahim/Demise, Palutena, and Ridley.

 

[ImaClubYou]

This games animation style gives a lot of emphasis on style like Bowsers unnecessary spin on the Up Smash or Zero Suit Samus upside down rising kick. I feel this game will be super flashy making Melee Falcon standard and Ssb4 Falcon something eyegasmic!
