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

[~automatic]

I myself will try to unlock all the characters the old fashion way but it would still be pretty convenient for some TO who wants to bring several set ups to his/her tournament.

Yeah definitely.

Just thought of this idea: when you run into a Warning! Challenger Approaching screen on the 3DS version, the silhouette should zoom towards you and let the 3D effects blast in your face. I hope that happens.

That would be a cool thing to do but not everyone used the 3D feature. I know I didn't use it very often after the first couple of days with my 3DS.

Personally I hope unlocking content isn't half assed like it was in Brawl. I kind of want to experience the feeling of getting something new from doing a certain task again, not to get everything handed to me on a silver platter.

Anyone think we should have a proper survival mode? All-Star always seemed like a gimmicky alternative to it.

Make of this as you will.

 

[Wario Bros.]

"Soon" can mean pretty much anything these days so I'll just continue waiting like I have been since E3 2011.

 

[Moon Monkey]

Hmm... if a couple more rumors pop up aligning with this, then maybe i'll buy into it.

Same thing has happened with Wonderful 101. I would not be surprised if we got Smash 3DS around this Christmas or March next year with Wii U Smash 6 months to a year later. While I wouldn't bet on it arriving that early it is a little suspect that its listed on the eShop at all.

 

[FlareHabanero]

It would make more sense to have the Wii U and 3DS versions being released at least within the same month, mainly due to the connectivity features.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I do have the feeling this could be a mistake. This wouldn't be the first time Nintendo did such a thing.

 

[augustoflores]

If someone put you down there and keeps you down there then they deserve the KO.

I actually put myself down there after i use my crown of justice to smack a fox/falco to it's doom. when i get back i sometimes over-zealously overshoot the horizontal distance.

All-Stars mode is so ****ing boring... I hope it gets cut.

That's pretty much what I think. With Smash 4's roster, that thing will be so damn tedious that you'll only want to do it once.

I never cared for All-Stars mode so Idc what happens to it.

I'm a trophy-***** though so... yeah.

 

[~automatic]

Yeah, I only played through AS mode for the trophies as well. I beat AS on very easy with every character and then on very hard with my mains just because.
*shrugs*

I don't see AS mode's format changing but it would be nice to have some of multiplayer mode's options (i.e. turn items on/off, set random stage selection). Having a couple of ways of changing things up might make AS mode feel less like a chore to players who hoard trophies.

 

[Metal Overlord]

I liked the rest area in Melee, but other than that, never really cared for All-Star mode

Brawl's Single Player modes were just tedious in general. Mainly because of how repetitive they were.

Melee's seemed less tedious, since it was a different experience every time (aside from Adventure Mode).

Brawl's Single Player modes were just tedious in general. Mainly because of how repetitive they were.

The same can be said of the the other two title's Classic modes. Brawl's Classic mode just feels more repetitive than Melee's since you follow the same franchise rep order but with different characters as oponents. In 64 you fought the same characters in the same order iIrc. Melee did give you random characters in every match but it still followed the same gimmick (3 v. giant, 1v1, team battle, 1v1...) progression every time (which the other two games do as well).

In the end you have 10 CPU matches and the Hand battle which aren't as fun as playing normal multiplayer with someone else.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Single player mode was not exactly a strong suit for Super Smash Bros., barring Target Smash. I do like to play Target Smash from time to time as a test of character knowledge, trying to get the best time possible by using varies techniques.

 

[~automatic]

Yeah, Target Smash is the 1P mode I enjoy most.

 

[Vintage Creep]

For me AS just need to be cut or at least made not obligatory to complete the game. The idea of doing it with a friend to unlock two trophy in one session was good, but then there was an achievement in which you had to do it with every character alone... What's the point?
I'd made only Classic Mode this time. Just put the target test in it, done good this time. Maybe a return of Run to the Finish or Board the Platforms, just to change things. Not more than 6/7 matches and maybe two cutscenes at the beginning and at the end like every other fighting game ever. That and a new Adventure Mode like Brawl are more than enough for the single player experience imho.
Oh yeah and good, inspired, funny events. I'd made them more minigame-style actually than simple themed matches. You can check out the ones I put in my topic to know what I mean.

 

[Vintage Creep]

All-Star Mode was the best.

 

[DarkShadow20]

I'd rather them just scrap all past single player modes and give every character their own unique story with their own boss. Maybe about the length of Melee's Adventure Mode.

 

[FalKoopa]

All-Star Mode was the best.

Wut?

Brawl's all-star mode was extremely tedious. Even though I expect it to stay, I believe it will need tweaks to prevent it from being a chore.

 

[Sword_kirby777]

I like that idea of each character having their own stories...it would make for interesting stories. Of course, because they're all in the same game, I would imagine that there would need to be some kind of correlation, or something that could connect as to why they are all in the same universe. Well, imo anyway. I did like the idea of Tabuu in Brawl, it was an interesting idea, although it wasn't really well played out.

 

[N3ON]

Yeah, if All-Star doesn't change much it'll be even more of a chore in SSB4. I personally didn't mind it too much though.

 

[Wario Bros.]

For single player modes like Classic & All-Star, my biggest wishlist is to have a much, MUCH more interesting ending than a way too simple montage of character footage, a still image that can replicated with the game's camera mode, and then a generic/lame "congratulations" saying.

 

[Sword_kirby777]

Oh yeah...that was just sad all the way around. They could do so much for the endings. Take the Marvel Vs. Capcom games, for example, where each character has a small unique plot for after the boss fight. Even if the same boss is used for every character, the idea that each character would have their own reason for fighting, silly or not, would make for an interesting, and imo, compelling reason to play through Classic/All-Star mode with every character.

 

[Vintage Creep]

It would be nice if the endings would be similar to the games the characters come from. Not only the style but the interface too.
Something like with Prof Layton (if he's in) there's a little cutscene by Level 5, anime style, with Punch-Out!! we get still images like in the Wii version, for retro characters we have videos in 8/16bit, with Metroid a monologue from Samus, with R.O.B. an actual live action video during which he plays with a human player... Something like that would be extremely nice imho.

 

[Sword_kirby777]

That would make a lot of sense, those kinds of endings. I think it'd be an interesting way to break the fourth wall, if R.O.B. were to somehow be playing Smash Bros. with the human player, and R.O.B. is playing as himself.

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

Maybe something like Smash 64's ending, where it gives a REAL, completely new picture instead of easily replicated gameplay pictures.

That would be nice but I think we deserve much better as that would be the 4th time they did this and I know they can do better than that.

Very true, I just have no idea what the reward should be.

 

[vicgur]

Oh man, it's been some time since I last visited ol' Smash Boards. I should check that out!

All-Star Mode was the best.

But seriously. The thing I most hate about All Star Mode[and the Boss Rush mode] is that you have to beat it on Very Hard to get some trophy or anything like that, and there are NO CONTINUES for that.
I hate that.
Please Sakurai. Stop expecting me to be a ****ing God in your game. I wanna have fun while I get your collectables.

I wouldn't even mind about All Star, but that one thing just spoils it for me.

 

[Vintage Creep]

-.-

Again, I was referring to Melee's All-Star mode. I guess you didn't FULLY check out the thread.

That sucked too even if not badly as Brawl's. It was pretty much the same except the final part against Mr. Game & Watch and that there were less characters. Unless you're saying: "Well but it was Melee so it's better!!1".

Anyway vicgur I think there were continues in All-Stars mode. The Boss Rush didn't have them and in fact I used the hammer to get the trophy of Tank Galleom. With Charizard's Rock Smash though was relatively easy to get all the others.
The worst thing is that you had to do that with all the characters. So ****ing boring. Oh yeah and with Zelda twice, since you get two different trophies of her final smash! Bah.

 

[FalKoopa]

Melee's all star mode was bearable simply due to lesser number of characters. I'll be interested to see what solution they bring to make it better. Maybe like the final co-op event match, where we fight all characters in a row on battlefield.

That could work but it would be a useless mode in my opinion. Better scrap it or come out with something completely different.
IMHO Classic Mode, Events, Minigames à la Target Test, a new Story Mode... are more than enough really.

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

All-Star in Melee and Brawl was just tedious, Melee's less so because the order was randomized and there were fewer characters. Brawl's was just a hassle, but especially to get Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash trophy. Boss Rush wasn't too hard, but then again, I beat it on Intense with G&W.

 

[423]

this is a gut feeling, but they may do that for the 3DS port. Maybe. Either way, I think the 3DS will be more single-player focus, since that version is going to be more "personal". That would be cool.

Admitably, I never really cared about all-star either, and as much as it was useless, it kind of felt like a nice addition... But it does feel a bit of a drag when playing it.

If they did scrap it, do you think they may replace it? If so, with what?
