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

Ah, I see everyone's worried about the Ice Climbers issue. I'd highly doubt they would get around such a problem.

Yeah, honestly, it's Nintendo... look at Galaxy, that game looks way too good for that hardware. They are masters of efficiency most of the time (although I just read that brawl was inefficiently packed...)

 

[Oasis_S]

They'd be loaded pre-match, that's the thing. Can't load them during gameplay or it would lag.

In terms of 4 ICs at once, they would share the meshes in ram so it'd be just the one mesh (storing each IC or each pkmn trainer would be redundant). Texture wise, if they store the textures seperately that would be a a lot of ram, but if they're smart they'd do some kind of recolor post processing on the one texture, meaning 4 ics would be 2 meshes and 2 textures (if popo and nana use different meshes, i'm not sure).

I bet they could make Popo and Nana share the same model. The only difference between them is their hair, and I think you could easily model both styles onto the same model, but which one was visible would depend on the texture.

 

[psyniac_123]

Nope.

That's an issue with alpha sorting, some hardware has trouble doing a texture with alpha channel in front of another texture with alpha channel, in this case fox's texture over the little dust effect.

Those transparent polygons are a *****, man.

Hey, these are pretty funny. Yeah, haha, I guess they caught on... the Ridley one was really funny, let's see what else there is, oh this one is good too, haha, and hey look, there's-
--wait--

[MatthewSwain9]

Thats ****ed......

**** EVERY THIRD PARTY CHARCTER! lol thats sakurai

 

[woodsta]

Has anyone seen a fastfall in any of the footage? Imo that's one of the most important things regarding the pace of the game

 

[lobotheduck21]

Soooo what has been going on the last 3 days

Edit: post 1313, two 13s...does luck add or multiply

 

[colder_than_ice]

Anyone want Isa Jo to be playable?

 

[lobotheduck21]

Rather have saki, but I doubt either is getting in, and I wouldn't care that much either way

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Dem trolls.

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

**** EVERY THIRD PARTY CHARCTER! lol thats sakurai

How is that Sakurai? He had Sonic and Snake in Brawl, and now MegaMan.

 

[Jonny Westside]

So like, I'm on the hype train for a melee-esque engine in the upcoming Smash Bros. title and I was wondering if we (the community) have started a trend to get Sakurai's attention about the popularity of Melee. Perhaps massive amounts of tweets to his Twitter account regarding the fact that Melee is the only Smash Bros. game to make it to Evo 2013 since 2008 I believe?

Using this fact we can let him know that we still love (and overall prefer, let's face it lol) Melee to this day 12 years after it's release.

It's already shown to be a midway between Melee and Brawl, meaning it's faster and probably less floaty.

 

[MatthewSwain9]

Guys watch this, this is hitler playing classic games is soo damn funny-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmASDp7w-VY&list=FLCk2O7LuCqZYrbWIYmaq_2w&index=1

 

[The Black mage]

For no reason at all, here's a pic of Blastoise. And a reminder of how awesome he'd be in he was in Smash.

Don't deny it. The 10 year old inside of you would scream like a little ***** if Blastoise got confrimed.

Again with the blastoise...

 

[Terrazi Terrajin]

How is that Sakurai? He had Sonic and Snake in Brawl, and now MegaMan.

And soon to be Pacman.

Probably less floaty is not good enough D:

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

We don't know for sure. We can't play it and see. Just be glad that it's faster for now.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

And soon to be Pacman.

Maybe.

It could be any other Third Party, or no more besides the three that's already been in a Smash Bros. game. Namco-Bandai is being given zero special consideration.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

However, the logic that Impa should be a Sheik replacement is deeply flawed

I agree. The new Sheik should be Ghirahim.

 

[FalKoopa]

I agree. The new Sheik should be Ghirahim.

Zelda transforming into Ghirahim would be interesting, to say the least.

 

[~automatic]

Don't deny it. The 10 year old inside of you would scream like a little ***** if Blastoise got confrimed.

My inner child went ballistic when I saw Charizard as a playable character. Then lament struck when I saw he was part of the lamest, least practical Smash character ever.

Blastoise would be a nice consolation for Charizard so I'd be hype for that.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I disagree, the new Sheik should be Kirby.

 

[~automatic]

I disagree, the new Sheik should be Kirby.

I second this.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Late seeing these but

Here's a collection of fake character reveal screens for your entertainment.

This one is so wrong... Poor Hanako..

It's one of those things that you really shouldn't laugh at, but you just have to.

 

[Croph]

I do.

Would be a smexy addition.

 

[MatthewSwain9]

Well anyway whos excited for the new update tonight? Only like 4 in the morning lol thanks japan

 

[FlareHabanero]

Hanako reminds me of bacon. Bacon is delicious, but not healthy. Unless it's turkey bacon, but that's not as delicious. Sausage is good though, especially with a omelette.

 

[Metal Overlord]

New update? Badass

Lol my power just went out though

...Did you just compare Hanako to Asage?

Well, its date is June 17th, so it's news.

Looking like an interesting read! Thanks for posting.

Mine did the same for like a split second around midnight this morning.

 

[Starphoenix]

Are we really back on Impa people? Really? Okay, how about we get off of this subject and try discussing something else.

I've been thinking a little bit more about what WiFi features should be implemented into the next game, and I think these are the most reasonable:

- Create a streamlined process for adding NNID users. Friend codes are gone for the most part anyways.
- Allow for users to restrict match searches by region. This will go a long way in managing online lag.
- Offer ranked and unranked battles. Players can use their tags to evaluate online match performance compared to their offline statistics.
- Offer 1v1, free for all and team battle modes.
- Allow for two local players to engage in online team battles. That way if little Johnny and his sister want to team up online to battle other players they can.
- Allow for 3-4 stock matches with a five minute time limit (maybe shorter).

Anything else missing?

 

[Frostwraith]

Taken from that article:

"Whether it's a minor character or a character that is one of the most highly skilled and most played," Sakurai said, "if that character is removed from the game, the people who live for that character in Smash Bros. are going to have their feelings hurt.

"I think we have to really consider that, so I take a very serious, hard look at that and have empathy for the players who look for these type of characters when we're making these decisions."

That decision-making process starts with Sakurai forming his own thoughts, but also factors in various surveys, he said. From there, a list of candidates is refined by evaluating their contribution to the game's roster: "What is the uniqueness of this character? What does this character bring into the Smash Bros. universe? What do they have that other characters don't? How do they complement or contrast other characters?"

It's a must read, guys.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Interesting article.

[Holder of the Heel]

Although there wasn't really much anything new regards to Smash 4 in that article, I really enjoy reading about what goes through his mind.

Hanako reminds me of bacon. Bacon is delicious, but not healthy. Unless it's turkey bacon, but that's not as delicious. Sausage is good though, especially with a omelette.

Hanako makes me think of bacon and chocolate. The Katawa Shoujo community has absolutely ruined that character for me.

Also for the record, Rin is best girl.
