It's more likely that this is a sign that the game probably won't be out for a long time and that it's going to be awhile before we get any noteworthy updates.Welp, I guess this means our wait could be up to 18 months until the game comes out.
The wait for Brawl was about a year and a half, if I remember right. May '06 to Jan-Feb '08.
I hope. This game needs to be perfected. I would be really worried if it was coming this year, I hope it comes later than ever in 2014.
I don't think it says anything like that. I think it's Sakurai saying that the game is not complete and will need more time until release.
I honestly don't want Krystal in, sorry. Star Fox doesn't need four reps. Not a bad roster overall, though I think it gives too much attention to existing franchises instead of bringing in a few more new ones.
This seems very likely to me. I really hope that Nintendo might even push for the Wii U version to release first if the 3DS is holding it back.
Except this would contradict the fact that the rosters (and the gameplay is implied) are to be the same for both versions. If they can't get the ****ty transformation gimmick (assuming they don't improve it) to properly work in the 3DS version, then split them up on both versions. Most people tend to play only one of the characters in each of the groups anyway. For most, the playstyles remain intact which is what really matters in the long run.
I think changing their gimmick will be the answer. I think making them like a mix of Eddie and Millia Rage from Guilty Gear might be something really appropriate for them. Under this gimmick, Nana and Popo are always together except for one situation where one move can separate Nana for a more deliberate and easier desyncing. Then, they can have Millia's Ring turned into Blizzard Ringe (picture them spinning while doing their Down B) for evil okizeme setups.
Who knows, there is TGS later in the year so we might see at least 1 new character by then. Not to mention we will have those Nintendo Directs sprinkled along the wait, so we might even get updates and reveals from that; and if the coverage on Pikmin 3 is any indication of how much screen time Nintendo give their games, we might be looking at 3 Directs that show off 5 to 10mins of gameplay for SSB WiiU/3DS
Nope.
No, I think they should just be reworked. As I mentioned, something like Eddie from Guilty Gear might work.
Rhetorical question time: What if it's that what Sakurai has in mind and is giving him trouble?
Simon Belmont as the new Konami rep. I absolutely want to see a reunion of the Captain N team.
Excellent question now that I think about it. The big difference between this and the current Ice Climbers is that Eddie's shadow is 100% manually controlled, with no AI control whatsoever. Eddie has been on PS2 and Wii consoles which is roughly how strong the 3DS is give or take. Though I can imagine the issue arising if there are more than two sets of ICs.
Would personally love it if an Advance Wars character were to inherit Snake's moveset. I doubt Sakurai will think of it though.
Exactly. The key difference is that GG has up to 2 characters, while Smash has up to 4 characters. That's twice the amount of characters.
Pretty much. Phase 1: Waiting for the official reveal. Phase 2: Waiting for the dam to break info wise. Phase 3: Countdown until the actual release.
You're missing the first point I made though. Nana is greatly AI controlled unless you desync (or something like that) while Eddie's shadow is entirely manually controlled. It takes more processing power to run an AI than to manually control something. I can't remember if I read this in college or somewhere else (probably the latter), but there is a lot of processing power involved in having several AI behave independent of one another. This was actually one of the reasons why the stampede scene from The Lion King took two years to make.
Thanks for the 15 hour old news.
That "Dojo-business" of which speak has already started actually. We had a new image yesterday and today.
Yes, please. All of this. None of that over-anime crap from the Castlevania fighting game (name escapes me).
I don't think this rules out alternate costumes, it just says that the customization won't be costume related.
I see. That's more or less what I thought, but I could have worded my post a little better.
Well that sucks. I guess we'll be stuck with smaller connectivity. Also, no alt costumes = booooooooooooooooo!
Sakurai said alt costumes ruin what makes each character different. That's a pretty stark rejection of alternate costumes, sadly.
I think it might be custom costumes...
