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

[Johnknight1]

Yeah, the way Tekken plays it should be slower. As for smash, I'd say it depends on the engine and overall game speed. If both games are about as fast I think they'll be (around as fast as Smash 64), then I think 4-6 frames sounds about alright to me.

Oh dear god. If Smash 4 was as slow as Smash 64, I don't think I could play it.

Dunno if this has been posted already

 

[FlareHabanero]

I believe that was mentioned a while ago.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if the online capabilities were greatly improved. Everything else is very finicky, considering it's a rumor and all that.

we'll just have to wait and see... I the meantime, all we can do besides waiting is speculate.

better online is necessary, Brawl suffered a lot with the lag. even though I play the game well, I suck horribly at online because of the input lag. I've experienced times which the game was near unplayable.

 

[SmashChu]

So pretty much, I (mostly) sided with SmashChu. I guess that makes us an AXIS OF EVIL! Que the music of the newly formed evil empire! Now start my BAMF theme music!!!

AWWWW YEAH. I always wanted an axis of evil.

Also, this might be relevant. New Rumor.

 

[Pyra]

After several months of being absent from the forums, I come back to find that I missed absolutely nothing in Sm4sh development. Or maybe I'm missing something.

I don't know. I'm slightly disappointed.

 

[FlareHabanero]

New Rumor.

Again, already posted.

At this rate the rumor is going to be older then the trilobites...

Bottom of the comic.

Guys, that rumor is just taken from the big dump of info from the Dual Pixels website. It's false. Now, I'm willing to bet we will get some Super Smash Bros info from E3, but a demo and the rest is just over reaching at this point in time. Curb expectations folks. E3 will be here soon enough. All I can tell everyone is stay tuned, it will be a doozy next year.

I think a compromise can be made in regards to characters:

Have two options; one for those who want all characters from the start and those who want to play the game as normal and unlock every character.

@Starphoenix: One of the things I've learned while discussing this game is not to get emotionally invested in an argument.

Good news, everyone! Nintendo has announced on their Facebook that there will be a Nintendo Direct tomorrow at 9 AM PT for their games coming out next year. Hope they slide in a Smash Bros. trailer or SOMETHING.

And it's during college class...

Hopefully, I get out of class getting some good news.

First thing that came to mind. Probably what was intended.
Sadly, I will have to miss this Nintendo Direct, as I have a Final around that time to do.

Blast and I have a job interview at that time. I doubt it'll be Smash, probably just the games that'll be out in late December, and Q1 2013 and maybe the eShop updates.

That's exactly what I intended.

Lucky for me, my next final after today isn't until Thursday, so I can take a break and watch it at lunchtime (since it's be 11 AM).

I wouldn't get my hopes high... :|

but anything's possible, so I'll look forward to it.

hmmm... the European version will be tomorrow at 17h00 GMT (18h00 CET)... lucky for me, I'll be done with the classes at that hour. ^_^

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Usually don't watch Nintendo Directs because I don't have time but if I'm lucky I might catch watching this while it's 9 PM in Finland. (-l<>l-)

9PM in Finland means 7PM here. I'm sure that by that hour, it might be already over, but you can always watch as many times as you like after the live stream, so there isn't much to worry.

 

[Baskerville]

Its not gonna be Smash. I'll be at home anyway to watch it but they're probably going to show things we've already seen.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

9PM in Finland means 7PM here. I'm sure that by that hour, it might be already over, but you can always watch as many times as you like after the live stream, so there isn't much to worry.

So let me see, I should see this between 6 PM - 7 PM to ensure I can catch up. And I'm gonna watch it live. It's been determined.

hmm... you're right.

Nintendo Europe's site states that Nintendo Direct will start at 5PM GMT (UK, Ireland and Portugal). Finland is EET (GMT+2), so if you want to watch it live, it starts at 7PM in your country.

keep in mind that Nintendo revealed Namco's involvement in Smash during a Nintendo Direct. heh, even if they don't reveal anything about SSB, they'll likely show something about Fire Emblem: Awakening or Pikmin 3, two other games I'm looking forward to.

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

I think it's too early for Smash 4 to be revealed, and I'd rather have it announced in E3 rather than Nintendo Direct. They could just give us some brief information about the game rather than show how it looks like. Other than that, it might be Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, and mainly some other 3DS and Wii U games that will be shown for it.

 

[Pyra]

Strange word choice. I think you mean discussed. It's already been revealed, silly willy.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Toasters, I think CIC though meant that it won't be showcased fully out this early. There's been mostly info which can be intepreted many ways due how vague it can be at times.

 

[Ninka_kiwi]

I doubt we will be getting a trailer for Sm4sh, I'm expecting them to mention it like that one Nintendo direct to say something like, Hey it's still in development. I just want to see some screen shots at the least >.<

 

[Pyra]

I realize that, but I don't reveal should have been the word.
Or maybe I just need more sleep.

I don't care if they show screenshots, a trailer, or just say "____ is in the game" in vague riddle format. I just want a mention or something at the very least. I'm not picky.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I have no hope or expectation at all for getting any new info on Sm4sh at the Nintendo Direct (even though such a thing has happened a few Nintendo Directs ago and the fact this Nintendo Direct will cover both systems that Sm4sh will be on.)

What I'm really hoping for is some Pikmin 3 news since the Nintendo Direct will cover 2012 to early 2013 games (Which is in Pikmin 3's scheduled release date range), it's my most anticipated Wii U game, and that E3 was the first and ONLY time we got information on that game (which is making the wait even more painful to bear through). If there is no Pikmin 3 news then I'll be pissed.

 

[~automatic]

I wanna know what the fate of the red 3DS will be. I read it's being phased out in Japan and I'd like to know if that happening here in NA.

 

[Opossum]

Well everyone, with the Nintendo Direct, just do as we've been doing for well over a year now: plan for the worst and hope for the best. Who knows, we'll likely get nothing, but maybe we'll get a hint or something.

 

[SmashChu]

GOOD news everyone!

Hey, at least the Wii U is involved in some way. Maybe there is a chance.

 

[Frostwraith]

it'll be about both Wii U and 3DS... guess what game will be released for both systems...

 

[Big-Cat]

I'm not counting on any Smash info, but it'd be nice. I would like to see more Bayonetta 2 and more Animal Crossing. Funny how that's technically the fourth game and look how much it changed.

 

[Metal Overlord]

I don't expect a single new detail on the game until E3

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

Strange word choice. I think you mean discussed. It's already been revealed, silly willy.

Well, the game was only confirmed in E3 so technically nothing about the game has been revealed considering there's no game footages yet. xD

I also doubt Pikmin 3 would be shown in Nintendo Direct but at least mentioned. I heard they're still polishing the game up even though the game already looks amazing. I might be wrong, though, but let's keep our expectations low since they tend to be high on every Nintendo Direct.

 

[Frostwraith]

17 hours remaining for Europe...

if not Smash, then I'd like to see footage from Pikmin 3 and Fire Emblem: Awakening.

but I wouldn't raise the expectations too much... overhyping is not a good idea.

 

[~automatic]

Is this Nintendo Live going to be in Japanese?

 

[FlareHabanero]

Is this Nintendo Live going to be in Japanese?

Yes, same time as the Europe one.

 

[BKupa666]

As of now, the game has been in development longer than (I believe) Melee and Brawl prior to the reveals of their trailers. I doubt this event will yield much of anything, though how awesome would it be to get the trailer out of the way here, and give the alleged demo facetime at E3??

hmm... let me check...

Brawl's development began in October 2005, and we got a trailer at E3 2006, in May of that year... I remember it well, six years ago... time surely flies...! anyway, from October 2005 to May 2006 are 7 months.

SSB4's development began after Kid Icarus: Uprising's ended development, which we can assume either as February or March 2012.

so, we are already at December 2012, as such if we assume the development began in February, SSB4 has already 10 months. if we assume March as the beginning, then, development has already taken 9 months.

conclusion: SSB4 has been in development for more time between Brawl's start and Brawl's reveal at E3.
