Super Smash Bros 4 (Wii U/3DS) Topic

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I've got a Game Boy Advance SP, A DS, A Wii (needs fixing) and a Wii U. I'm looking for platforming or an RPG that isn't overly expensive like Xenoblade Chronicles.

Sonic Chronicles could work. I doubt you can find either Golden Sun(GBA) game for cheap, but Dark Dawn is fairly cheap and pretty easy to play for the DS. I'd recommend the GBA ones, though. See if you can find the remakes of the Super Mario Bros. games on the GBA. Classic Series or otherwise. They're pretty good. Sonic Rush Adventure is a really good platformer as well. It's also far easier than the first Sonic Rush and less annoying for playing as Blaze(getting past her first level can be ridiculous...). If you like part-RPG games, there is Sonic Battle, being a Fighting/RPG. Sonic Unleashed and Sonic & The Secret Rings also has RPG elements with the ability to level up stats, and they're fairly good games, IMO.

...Note, while I do not personally like Sonic Unleashed, it's quite accessible and I still think it should be tried out. There's also Sonic Colors for the Wii and DS.

If you do get Sonic Unleashed, save yourself some pain and get the PS3 or 360 version. NOT the Wii/PS2 version.

That, or just say "screw it" altogether and get Generations for the PC and then use the Unleashed Project for a better version of all the stages. XD

Sonic Generations is the best 3D Sonic game I've played/seen since Sonic Heroes.

Though, even Sonic Heroes got pretty stale because it made you replay the story 4 times using different "teams" which were just skins of each other with specials that do the same thing despite having different animations.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I don't like Mortal Kombat too much cause most characters have a similar moveset. And if there's any differences, it are annoying ones like Scorpion's 'GET OVAR HEIR!' or that Ice Dude's icey stuff.

MK2 is probably my favorite MK of them all. Great cast, a hilariously broken-silly engine, and sooooooooo much nostalgia. I used to do silly **** like Baraka's Slice and Dice infinite for dayyyyyyyyys.

...You and I are like the same person, I swear. XD

That's exactly how I felt when I first played Generations. Unlike most, Heroes is actually my favorite of the 3D console games. Generations now ties with it (PC thanks to mods that let me use other characters and new stages) and the Adventure games, Unleashed and Colors all tired underneath it.

I understand why people would think Heroes got stale in that sense, but I absolutely enjoyed the fact that the teams were set up how they were. They did have their slight differences in how they did attacks, though. Other than that, yeah, they were pretty much the same. In hindsight, however, it's better than how 06 turned out or like the current Solo Sonic era with no one else to play with at all. >_>

specials that do the same thing despite having different animations.

Actually each team attack had a different effect.

Team Sonic's causes Sonic to have a buffed homing attack.
Team Shadow's freezes time.
Team Rose's causes invincibility and shield.
Team Chaotix's adds 10 rings per kill.

In addition to this, Knuckles had his own rapid punching melee attack that no one else could do if you kept making the B button without holding a direction.

Also, after Team Sonic does Team Blast, Sonic can use the Light Speed Attack if you jump and hit B until the red bar goes out.

I believe you are right now that i think about it. It's been a good while since I played. Then again that's why the internet is here to check.
I did think Team Shadow's special froze time, but second guessed myself and thought i was getting that mixed up with Shadow's special from Sonic Adventure Battle 2.

One thing I do remember was me liking that final boss.

 

[mimgrim]

So, anyone here wanna talk items with me? Been thinking a lot more about them lately having completed some research on "Smash PR" and needing more reading to do. Do any of you think items might get a fair shot this time around especially with how many newer/casual players the 3DS might bring?

While I'm not against ISP, I don't care for most of the items in Smash games. Believe it or not I find most of them incredibly boring to use. In fact the only items I like are Mr. Saturn, Peach's Turnips, ZSS Armor Pieces, ect... Basically items whose sole reasons are meant to be thrown while the items having different properties. The reason I find only those kinds of items fun is because Imo they add a certain strategic depth that I find other items lack. So if we got more items like that I wouldn't mind SP, but otherwise I won't go near it with a ten foot pole. I'm weird.

Anyone a fan of other fighting game series? I always liked Tekken and Mortal Kombat, I like the Soul Calibur series too. In fact Tekken 3 was the first game I ever played. Because I got into Tekken, I played Soul Calibur 2. But I do wish to get more familiar with Street Fighter someday, I've only played a couple of the games, and even then, I don't own them anymore.

Eh, I've tried playing other fighting games. I jut don't like them. They don't feel comfortable for me and for the life of me I cannot perform combos in those types of fighting pass punch>punch>punch, kick>kick>kick, or punch>kick>punch. Like seriously. I've tried SF, Tekken, and DoA (ones I can remember playing anyway, there are probably more). Of those games I think I like DoA the best, but that was probaby because of the big bouncy **** in those games. :L

Oh and I guess the Naruto fighting games to, I have played them and found them to actually be somewhat comfortable and fun. But ever since falling out with the anime I, with the current internet at my place it isn't really good to watch videos, fell out with the games. Once I get the chance to get back into the anime I will probably attempt to get back into the games.

But otherwise I just can't find a more "traditional" fighting game the is comfortable, unless the Naruto fighting games count lol.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Did love that final boss

Metal Overlord?

Meh, the boss itself felt kind of rushed and lame. But the song "What I'm Made of" is probably the best song in the game.

Eh, I had fun with the fight.

But song is what made the fight as good as it was for me. (No pun intended) So much energy. So much hype.

I basically consider it Super Sonic's vocal theme.

 

[Moon Monkey]

I liked his design. I did find his in game battle tactics a bit lame, but it was a Sonic game so i couldn't really say i expected much

I liked all of the 3D Sonic songs and cutscenes (Sonic Adventure 1 is questionable)

They didn't get cutscenes right until around Sonic Unleashed was released.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

SA2 was close, though. Still had some wonky animations, but they were still enjoyable.

Unleashed easily still has the absolute best opening cutscene in the series, though.

 

[κomıc]

That's the Dreamcast for you. Speaking of which, I want Power Stone 3. It was a massive disappointment when no PS characters were in MvC3. Falcon, Wang Tang, Gunrock and Ayami would have been perfect reps.

Despite what I think of the gameplay, I thought Sonic 06's intro cutscene was pretty good.
But Sonic really seems out of place in settings where humans are involved (excluding Eggman)
But in terms of capturing that Sonic cartoon vibe, Unleashed hands down.

 

[Knight Dude]

This is extremely late, but congratulations on your baby boy!

As a question to all of you, if they introduce a new mechanic this time around (such as the Final Smashes in Brawl, dodging & new moves in Melee, etc.)?

I kind of always wished either X or Y had its own set of moves. Having two buttons to jump on top of being able to use the joystick, seems a little....excessive to me. That's why in Brawl I had it so that the Y button was for grabs. Other than that I think that a A+B special attack would be cool too.

Honestly, the opening and ending to 06 were, funny enough, the best parts of the game.

Well, that and when Shadow stopped time just to kick Silver in the back of the head. That was pretty funny. XD

Are there any pros that have a passion for shipping?
I can't find any, whenever I ask about anything like that they just ignore muh questions

Could probably help you.

I'm no pro but I'll try to help the best I can. The shipping of goods and junk shouldn't be that big of an issue. What's the problem, dude? Need to know how many stamps you put on a package? Wait....did you mean the other kind of shipping?

 

[Oasis_S]

I bet Monk is a Scrub at Shipping. Probably doesn't even Shed tears over his Ships.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Wait....did you mean the other kind of shipping?

I believe its the other kind, since I think he's the one that pushes Zelda X marth i think. (correct me if i'm wrong monk)

Well of course he wouldn't cry over his ships. Those ships just got a fresh coat of paint, and the tears would leave stains on it. I mean you don't plunder the seven seas on a dirty boat, that's stupid!

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Now for something completely different:

This is the greatest video in the universe.

Scratch that. It's not just the greatest video, it's the greatest THING in the universe.


On another note, I'll be disappointed if no one recognizes my new avatar.

I paint them Mountbatten pink so they're harder to see at night.

ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?!?

Why do we say things that are so self-evidently wrong for the sake of hyperbole? Pacific Rim is a cool guy.

Ding ding ding we have two winners here!

I watched it for the first time tonight, loved every second of it.

What's wrong with you, why did you mess up Marth's name by capitalizing it. Do you have something against D/s relationships. Zelda can femdom just fine I'm sure.

Jerk.

You have to pay to unlock things in the game, and there is no other way to unlock it

Instead of "Complete this to unlock character" with microtransactions it's "Pay $15 to unlock character"

Microtransactions are purchases of in-game content with real money. It's supposed to be small purchases but Rovio didn't look up the meaning of "micro".

 

[Vintage Creep]

So it's DLC only it's already included in the game? Pretty disgusting. Why is it called microtransaction lol? Seems such a formal name for something related to videogames.

A lot of micro transactions are crap like paying $1 to get a power up, or $1 to get extra lives which you could get normally.

Because I got into Tekken, I played Soul Calibur 2. But I do wish to get more familiar with Street Fighter someday, I've only played a couple of the games, and even then, I don't own them anymore.

Mainly Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur for me (though was disappointed with SC5 for various reasons), off the top of my head. Like me a bit of Virtua Fighter, Dead or Alive (not for the sex appeal, mind you) and Killer Instinct too (before M$ happened, anyway). Then there's some of the DBZ fighters if you count those.

Fan of Soul Calibur. I'm only missing Soul Calibur V so far. Played and own the rest.(the only re-release I have is Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny.

I got nearly every Mortal Kombat game, but no re-releases as well as the original.(unless you include the original Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I never got the updated version of Deception, and I truly never plan to. Armageddon gives me all I need~)

Of course, I own all the SSB games. I have a lot of N64 Fighting games, including niche ones like Flying Dragon and Dark Rift. Man, the N64 had a lot, and they were honestly pretty fun~

Damn, didn't know you were into all those other series too. Just got a lot more respect from me as a fellow gamer.

Updated version of Deception? You mean the one on the PSP? Yeah, who needs that. Goro and Shao Kahn being exclusive to the Gamecube version of Deception was all I needed at the time, in addition to Armageddon. Armageddon I found to be a step down from Deception though (as a whole). Suffered from too many characters, which resulted in lack of other things, etc., but I did like playing as certain bosses that you wouldn't get to use in the other games like Onaga. After the novelty of that wore down though, the series kinda became a joke with the experimental failure that was Mortal Kombat vs DC (R.I.P. Midway), until MK9 came around, which was competitively competent and balanced in comparison to like... all the previous titles.

On the topic of N64 fighters, was Fighter's Destiny one of the ones you played too? Wish I had gotten to play the one for Xena: Warrior Princess back in the day (yeah, was a big fan of Xena and Hercules's shows) that was also on the 64.

Heh, as for the SSB games, had 'em all until I eventually donated my N64 cartridge of the original to the breakroom of a school/company that I go to some months or a year ago. Unfortunately, the SSB64 game I donated got banned after awhile because some people in the breakroom weren't able to be a good sport when they lost at it/were overly competitive. Typical (makes me glad I didn't play Melee that much while there and that I still kept it at home).


Also, yeah. Screw microtransactions.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I've played Marvel VS Capcom: Clash of Superheros and Mortal Kombat II at arcades, but aside from those two I haven't played any fighting games other than the Super Smash Bros. games.

I am interested in other fighting games however, and I'd play them more often if I could.
