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

[Big-Cat]

Also, only Zero Laser is similar to the Shinku Hadoken.(I may be off on the spelling or name, I have no way to play Street Fighter IV at the moment)

It's spelled Shinkuu Hadouken (really minor I know), but you did have the name right.

The majority of the Final Smashes were at least based on something of the character or their games. Link's was very likely based on a mix of Cloud's Omnislash and Link's finishing move in OoT. Samus' was based likely on both the Shinkuu Hadouken and the Phazon Beam from Prime. Zamus' was probably based off of Super Metroid's Crystal Flash.

@Ove
Metsu Hadouken is Ryu's Ultra. Shinkuu is his super.

How do you people feel about the art style for Fire Emblem: Awakening?

Chrom or Krom (pictured below) is the protagonist of the upcoming Fire Emblem title. I know many speculate about his inclusion in Smash so I'm including him in this post.

Would you prefer this new art style used for Emblem characters in the upcoming Smash games or would you rather stick to the less JRPG-ish art style?

I think the characters already in Smash should have their classic and Awakening designs as selecteable costumes. Except Ike's, because his redesign is garbage.

 

[Big-Cat]

Ike's Awakening design is crap. Radiant Dawn or GTFO.

 

[~automatic]

Yeah, not only is Ike's redesign is terribad the armor he was given makes him look more like a lord or knight rather than a mercenary; not to mention that he also looks a bit too thin imo. Lastly, I don't get why he has a sword for an arm.

I really like Marth and Lyn's appearance in this art style. I'm not too crazy about Roy's appearance but it's still pretty cool.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I like Roy and Lyn's design.

I never liked the character of Ike anyway, so I didn't care his design sucks

 

[FlareHabanero]

Something about Lyn's artwork throws me off for some reason. Maybe it's the tiny feet or that facial expression, or something.

It's the feet.

 

[Big-Cat]

Yeah, they need to be bigger. Her right foot is too small for how close it is to the viewer and the other looks like it's too far back.

 

[Croph]

I agree that the FE reps should have both classic and their redesigns. But omg, Awakening Roy. (*¬*) <3

Yeah, about Ike's redesign...It's in a weird perspective and he does look like he has a sword for an arm. That's not true...right? I mean where's the guard and hilt? Maybe I'm just not seeing them...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Ike should totally cut off one of his arms and replace it with a sword

 

[FlareHabanero]

But that would be kind of inconvenient.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Ash did pretty well when he decided to replace his arm with a chainsaw.

Team rocket never messed with him again

 

[Big-Cat]

The alternative would be to have a sword equipped on top of his arm.

 

[Jaedrik]

Hmm. . .
Twilight Princess and Awakening Marth and Zelda would go good together. . .
And OoT and Shadow Dragon make sense in the same capacity as the other pair. . .
I'm so conflicted, especially when writing this fanfiction, gah. I need to play way more Nintendo games, stupid new computer =\

And I like the idea of a Katar (or other arm mounted or push blade) character, any of those in the Nintendoverse? (oops, probably a question for char. discussion.)

 

[---]

I can live with the main art of FE13 but the DLC art I dislike in general. I liked how FE in the past didn't follow the JRPG trend with it's art (one of the reasons Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior don't appeal to me).

As for the DLC stuff, they're not going to be used anyway. It's a radical departure for those characters, each character has a completely different art style and would (they already do in FE13) clash together, and either way they're in generic clothing for the classes you recruit them as. Honestly I'm not sure if we should be calling them redesigns to begin with.

For the record, the DLC art was done by a different artist each one. Roy's is good, but a bit too Squeenixey. The official art for the non-DLC looks pretty good, I like it.

Also THIS:

Ike's Awakening design is crap. Radiant Dawn or GTFO.

Ike's is garbage, he should get his superior RD gettup. Lyn's is ok, minus the coat, I don't like her face though, something feels off about it.

Oh, and FE has always had an "anime" Art-style. If you look back at the FE games from the early 90's the art-style of those games followed the popular art-style in anime of the time.

 

[FlareHabanero]

You know at this point, I'd rather see the content being more polished at this point then actually seeing how much content we get. Brawl proved that having a lot of content is not good enough.

 

[vicgur]

The only problem I had with this artwork of Ike is that his position and the perspective make him look oddly thin and weak.
I think, if someone changed the style of the artwork to something more traditional, he would look a lot more awesome.

Spoiler

But I like RD's better, anyways...

Spoiler

Roy is much better than before, tho

The different styles of artwork kind of got me too. Like you said, Ike looks so thin...

 

[Wario Bros.]

I actually like Lyn's and Ike's designs (and Marth's is good but not great). Roy, my boy in Melee, however, I'm not a fan at all for his Awakening design (Melee/The Binding Blade had it better)

 

[Metal Overlord]

If Ike gets into Smash with that design, then Imma have to smack a *****

That is one of the worst redesigns I have ever seen for a character

New Nintendo Direct tomorrow. Anybody hoping to see Yoshi Wii U?

Another rumour.

 

[Baskerville]

@Star
I was just about to post that.
I'm not expecting anything big so I'm not too excited, however you may never know.

 

[Deleted member]

It'd be funny if they revealed the Yoshi's Land Wii U and that "Debu" really existed.
I wouldn't hold my breath on that, though.

Is it specifically for Wii U, or is 3DS going to be featured as well? I still cling on to hope that there was some truth to the "Mach Rider Unchained" thing and hope it (or something like it) will be shown off...

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509417

Two Directs in one month, we certainly are lucky. If this keeps up I'd wonder why Nintendo even bothers to go to E3 anymore. lol

Anyway I'm just betting on Pikmin 3 and Game & Wario stuff, maybe the newly announced Resident Evil Revelations port.

EDIT: Bummer, I have class at the exact time it begins. At least it's a test day so I can maybe speed through it and get out early. lol

 

[vicgur]

I don't know what to expect, especially because it looks like it's exclusively a Nintendo of Europe Direct...

If it was really gonna reveal BIG new games, it would be something more worldwide...
That's what I personally think.

Erm, no. NOA and NOJ are hosting direct as well.

The crap if that happens...

It is specifically for the Wii U. Nintendo is going to show off new first-party titles and services. However, Nintendo's idea of new games consist of Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition, so, we will see.

BTW, here's this rumor.

Ah, so no chance for Mach Rider Unchained, then...
And if it's specifically Wii U, then I doubt anyting on Smash would be shown.

Not really looking forward to this...

Well, we'll probably hear more about Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 and Game and Wario; alongside whatever new games Nintendo decides to reveal. Still betting on Yoshi if anything,

 

[Deleted member]

Wonderful 101 looks pretty good, but doesn't seem like it'd be my forte.
Game & Wario, unless it's some reveal that Waluigi joins the crew, I am rather indifferent on it. The games are interesting from what we've seen and heard, but it doesn't really excite me.
I DO want to see what kinds of Pikmin there will be, though...

There are flying Pink Pikmin that have yet to be "officially" profiled yet.

 

[GTZ]

what ever became of the Banjo Kazooie rumor going around that Nintendo sought the rights to the Banjo Kazooie characters. Do you guys think the bird bear combo would work well for a smash game? I also do like the idea of that Dillon armadillo guy possibly getting a spot, we need more original characters. and of course, like I rant and rave about.. put EFFING k.rool in smash already.

next to Ganon, k.rool is one of the most maniacal and dark villains in Nintendo history.,

I know, but I want to see MOAR. More than the Rock Pikmin and "Magenta Pikmin". [/selfish]

Is there more? I know Miyamoto had said there would be more Pikmin, but considering Pink, White and Purple Pikmin have yet to be unveiled, I've assumed they are what he was referring to.

EDIT: Think we just got our first hint on Monolith Soft's new game, which might be shown off tomorrow considering to a recent tweet by the wife of the producer of Xenoblade has told people to watch tomorrows ND.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Whatever Monolith Soft is going to reveal, don't expect a sequel to Xenoblade. Just saying that so people don't become disappointed.

Granted it IS Monolith Soft, so expect similar quality at least.

 

[Gamingboy]

The direct will probably be nothing too special, more along the lines of pretty neat but hardly "OMG, WTF, HOW DID WE NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS" material. So no Smash trailer, no sudden announcement that the Mother Trilogy is coming to the West/being remade in the East, no HD Zelda and no announcement of a big 3rd Party exclusive (well, maybe a 3rd Party exclusive, but I doubt there will be another Bayonetta-level announcement that will cause the hardcore bros to freak out about having to maybe actually have to buy the Wii U).

I'm guessing it'll be release dates and mini-trailers for some of the first party things, maybe one or two new 1st parties being revealed (Yoshi, for example), possibly some of the casual games like the new Wii Fit, maybe the unveiling of the Wii U VC , and perhaps, at most, a brief reference to Smash at the end where Iwata just casually mentions games we already know are in the development but haven't been shown yet.
