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

[Gunla]

Ice Climbers in the form of a Pic of the Day, maybe, but I can only see newcomers revealed in trailers. Unless there's a Nintendo Direct (which is kinda not looking that way right now), I doubt Palutena right now.

It's a little late for a Nintendo Direct, but the December one was announced a day before. If nothing shows tomorrow for a ND, don't expect a newcomer. They are saved for the hype moments that are NDS.

I didn't think the RPD thread would permanently close this time. I apologize if I did anything wrong.
Also, if it's ok to post a roster here, how would you feel if this was the final roster:

Spoiler

Newcomers:
1. Megaman
2. Villager
3. Wii Fit Trainer
4. Rosalina
5. Pac-Man
6. Little Mac
7. Mii
8. Palutena
9. Dr. Kawashima
10. Chrom+Lucina
11. Diddy+Dixie
12. Takamaru
13. Ridley
14. Shulk
15. Duck Hunt Dog

Meh its okay. Reducing pokemon count whilst adding no new ones is kinda lame imo since I'm a huge pokefan. Also would reall like it if k. Rool was in the game. He is important to the series of dk as a whole. As always I support pacman, shulk, and ridley so thumbs up for that.

Ike and Lucario need to be in this. BUT BRAVO FOR NO SNAKE. GOOD RIDDANCE TO HIM.

Not sarcasm either

Hi guys. Came here cause I'm not sure where else to go...can't believe the RPD thread was locked.

Roster Prediction Discussion Thread locked... sorry if I did something wrong. But I guess everyone did.

...Refer to my first post on this page.
I don't think it's going to help to keep noting so, only make things possibly worse.

@ BluePikmin11 The roster is certainly alright. Though the cuts are not my savvy.

If this thread keeps going on the same way it's been going, it might suffer a similar fate.

I think we should take it as a lesson perhaps to improve the ways we discuss.

Just wait till the Roster Prediction and Characters Discussion Thread opens.

 

[mimgrim]

Well, how we all doing on this fine day? Anything happening? Also don't be surprised if this thread jumps in popularity for the time being.

I knew it would happen eventually. I'm honestly surprised it didn't happen when I use to frequent it.

 

[ZeldaMaster]

But this thread as created by an admin... so....

I achieve to follow the guidelines exactly so. This is less about the rosters, moreso a general social discussion. People need to adapt. Any thread can get locked.

You can go step on a Lego. I don't understand the unfounded bias against Snake, we wouldn't have Sonic or Mega Man if it weren't for him. Snake is way better anyway.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

The Roster Prediction Discussion thread went through quite a lot of hell almost every single day, unfortunately.


I was afraid it would get locked sooner or later..

this isn't the roster prediction thread.

you should pos- oh wait....

I'm really surprised by the lack of Pokemon content this far, the only things we know are that Pikachu is playable, Xerneas will appear and the pokeball item will return.

No 2nd rep, no stage and not a single pokeball pokemon other than maybe Xerneas as been announced.

I know that it's hard to work with Gamefreak, but it can't be that difficult to choose a stage or a few pokemons who will appear as pokeball pokemons.

They must be waiting for the release of Pokemon Bank

So, we've managed to kill two threads now.

I remember talking with Venus about this earlier.
We assumed that it was likely due to contracts and Game Freak and the Pokemon Company. Sakurai has those filler pics for a reason, simply to spread out the hype.

Which is why I hypothesize now that Chrom is very likely.

Not exactly. Unlike the RPDT, this thread is a social thread, therefore having more leniency towards off-topic discussions.

 

[Deleted member]

What constitutes "off-topic" in a social thread?

 

[Gunla]

The limits of this thread are likely to be tested, I assume...
Hopefully it stays an assumption. Though people are likely going to come here or other threads.

What constitutes "off-topic" in a social thread?

The OP asks that this be general discussion, not specific character discussion.

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

Well, glad I wasn't a part of the thread's death.

Either way, I've been trying to find more about Palutena, though there isn't much left to see. Personally, I believe that she's in. Is that what we've come to agree on, or is there still a discussion? Because it doesn't appear there is anymore...

 

[Frostwraith]

As long as the same bull**** that happened on the RPDT doesn't happen here, everything should be okay.

 

[---]

The Roster thread's closed now? My condolences to Scoliosis Jones, who I know wanted more out of that thread, but at the same time good riddance.

Also means that the New Smash Bros for Wii U thread still has the most pages and is still the King of Derp.

I'm not really sure that today's pic does any justice to her at all. It neither confirms or disconfirms her.

Absolutely in this manner. The RPDT turned into a warzone fully near the end, I mostly stuck to my other threads, like this one, after such.

Yeah, but it's still called Super Smash Bros 4 Wii U 3DS Topic, and I can guarantee you (not really) that there isn't anything Smash related on half of the pages.

Figured these would both be interesting things to look at.

Welp, right after these two, THIS shows up.

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/01/29/nintendo-we-havent-been-targeting-children-enough/

And Iwata proves once again that he's learned ABSOLUTELY NOTHIIIING~! =D

This should prove interesting. ¦D

 

[Hotfeet444]

Well, I just talked with Scoliosis, and he's actually not that upset about it. Turns out he was told about it a day ago that said locking was going to happen. Oh, and Noah is finally banned for good as he was accordingly responsible for a huge majority of said thread's issues. So yeah, Scoliosis is doin good. Man...I wish I could be that positive.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Can y'all just accept it was closed? It's not surprising. I find it funny, really.

 

[TrainerLITTLER]

I'm not really sure that today's pic does any justice to her at all. It neither confirms or disconfirms her.

That I can agree on, which is why I'm still debating it in my head. I feel that it can be considered a slight confirmation, but really isn't a de-conformation in any way. It's just a statue; if she were de-confirmed, it would be her. Not to mention again that, somehow, the statue shows that she is watching. Waiting, maybe?

 

[Gunla]

This, please, now. Dwelling on this won't really do much for us at all.

It isn't a deconfirm because she's not specifically called by name, unlike Viridi.
It's not a confirm because we don't see the big sign.
It's pretty much just like Ridley.

They are certainly in dire straights at this point.
Those losses are driving Nintendo insane, after all. Though I doubt Smash will be affected. Or it could get delayed to have more content. Either or.

Whoa, harsh ban.
My condolences to Saturn's friends here.
Louie G. is not going to like this.

That better be a mistranslation....

Someone get a Japanese speaker in here.

Please translate the Japanese text.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

"We have not done enough to attract children."

Have you checked the Miiverse lately Iwata?


In all seriousness, that's just ridiculous. Nintendo is getting more than desperate at this point.

 

[mimgrim]

I really don't understand why Nintendo doesn't realizes that now their main demographic is teens to adults now, because the original kids they promoted to are now older.

I hope they get it through their idiotic heads that they need to target the older audience more not the younger. They already target the younger enough as it is.

 

[Bowserlick]

I hope Smash 4 is released before Nintendo goes under.

As I stated before, the desperation is likely due to their losses.

Ah, that old thread. Good times, good times. How many times did that one get locked again?
