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

Keep talking about other games that aren't Smash 4 and this thread will get locked as well.

We can actually talk about general things here, just so long as it's smash related which we did. The other thread was only about the characters and nothing else, which we didn't. That's why it got locked.

Yeah man, Bowser's taunts in Brawl were so ridiculously uninspired, I don't even know what went wrong there. What was the deal with the one where he almost falls over? Dude.

That might be a reference to how you beat him by making him fall into lava in a bunch of games; you haven't beaten him because you haven't put him in a lava pit. I'll agree with you that it looked totally lame because it did. Btw, I found the chomping taunt to be the lamest taunt.

 

[Baskerville]

Toon Link's side taunt is the lamest by far

 

[Wario Bros.]

Toon Link's side taunt is the lamest by far

I can agree with that. It's better off as an idle pose rather than a taunt.

 

[~automatic]

I liked his side taunt.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Toon Link's victory animations are also lamest... what, catching pigs? That's what you do when you win? That was the most memorable, winning thing of Wind Waker?
Nothing like something more recognizable "win-pose" from Wind Waker? (Him jumping off joy back in the auction games in Windfall Island comes to mind.)

Sometimes I really wish Sakurai would just do more better job on more characters when using source material or even looking at it at all.

 

[Curious Villager]

Charizard should've have had a taunt where he spits fire skywards. Would have been a nice touch for him.

I always wondered why they never made him do that jumping for joy pose he always does whenever he beats a boss in Wind Waker for smash. I mean they gave TP Link his TP victory pose as a taunt. Would have been pretty cute to see Toon Link do his WW victory pose in smash too... :/

 

[Wario Bros.]

I liked his side taunt.

I like it too but I wouldn't say it's taunt slot worthy.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Kiwi:Yeah. Though I like the PKMN Stadium-throwback on Up Taunt. (Roars at the sky when released from the Pokeball).

Project M made Zard absolutely amazing BTW. I was also like one of those Charizard-fankids...

 

[~automatic]

Indifference is the ultimate offense so I think it's a worthy taunt.

 

[Deleted member]

That was Bowser almost falling over? I thought he was doing some sort of weird dance. No matter, I will still keep calling it the Koopa Dance.

 

[Croph]

For me, even though I rarely play him, I think Link has some of the best taunts. Dat classic taunt, the TP victory, Navi...they're all very nice. I also find Lucas' side and up taunts pretty funny.

 

[~automatic]

Yeah, I always found Link's taunts to be pretty cool.

 

[PSIguy89]

aha....taunts hmm? well first off i must agree that i too wish that Sakurai would pull more inspiration from the source material. also yes, Bowsers taunts did him no justice. as for other taunts ive though up before hows about a taunt for Sheik where she pulls out the Harp and plays a lil tune? or for Ness why has he NOT had his fuzzie pickles pose???

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Sonic has the best taunts. No joke.

Snake also needs more than just his box.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Do you guys think we need any more taunts that deal damage like Luigi & Solid Snake can do?

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Toon Link's side taunt is kinda lame. Would much rather him have the bottle taunt from Melee.

Snake also needs more than just his box.

IDK what it might be though. Maybe it could be the tank box?

Do you guys think we need any more taunts that deal damage like Luigi & Solid Snake can do?

That might be cool. I think TL's slashing taunt should be able to do damage.

 

[Oasis_S]

I get the feeling Kojima wanted him to smoke a cigarette for a taunt but Sakurai wouldn't allow it. So it was all boxes.

I think Kojima himself did work on Snake? Maybe he wasn't aware that there would be two more taunts. That's what I always thought happened.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

If Snake used any of his guns(i.e. his SOCOM, M9, etc.) I'd suggest a taunt would be for him to reload it. Maybe one could be him putting on his thermal goggles? His cigs are really the only other thing I can think of, and there's no way he could get away with that.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Speaking on taunts, I hope they make it easier to turn Samus into Zero Suit. I may have been doing it wrong but I have never successfully did the transformation on any of the 4 different controllers. Plus it needs to work the other way around too.

 

[Croph]

What would be really cool is if Snake could move around when he's under his box... stealthily sneaking around...

That would be cool, even if it were really pointless. Though I imagine it'd be useful if SSE2 had any stealth segments(which it totally should).

Even in that drawingI still can't tell what Slippy's gender is. And Fox's face looks more like an alpaca than a fox.

Also, only 60 days until good ol' E3 starts.

I gotta say, the whole thing looks really nice. Most people would probably think of Voltron or Gachaman. And yes, Fox looks a bit unusual, but the artist was probably going for a bishounen flair for Fox (when we know that's Falco's territory). Slippy definitely reminds me of the green guy from Voltron.

On voices, I didn't care for DK, Bowser, or Diddy's voices. I particularly enjoy their voices in the recent games. Much more lively and more of a sense of personality than just gorilla, dragon turtle thing, and monkey.

 

[volbound1700]

So who should be the final boss of the Adventure mode? Master Hand? Taboo? Mewtwo? Ganondorf?

What about Kim Jong Un and the heroes are trying to prevent him from blowing up Japan and Nintendo as he is threatening to do right now?

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

SSE2 could have so much ideas IMO. If they took some cues for characterization from KIU and FE:A and went to apply it even to the silent characters... hmmm...

I mean, I've always, always wanted to see more in-depth characterization of Mario outside of his games. He's so bland at times it's beyond ridiculous. And I can't get behind why everyone in SSE felt sorta bland as well (except Luigi and Lucas. And to some extent the villains.)

We should just have more in-joking from Nintendo itself, they don't seem to do that often outside of Intelligent Systems as far as I've seen. (and Uprising which might tell me that Sakurai's team might also try the same.)

Quite frankly, just about everyone in the game felt blank save for Snake, Lucas, Luigi, and the Starfox cast - we even found that Leon is more than likely into BDSM.

 

[volbound1700]

Someone proposed the idea of SSE2 where the characters cut from Melee seek revenge on the rest of the caste with Mewtwo heading the charge lol.

I don't think that would make a very good story. Especially IF Mewtwo is the only returning character

 

[Baskerville]

What characterization? Mario has been bland since Miyamoto created him.

 

[FalKoopa]

Mario is more of a blank slate. He does have a bit of characterization in the RPGs (specifically M&L series)

 

[Curious Villager]

Sometimes I feel people are being a little too harsh on Mario... Though Sakurai should really bring his usual upbeat personality back and not make him this "mr. grumpy man" they made him into in Brawl. He should smile more. :/

 

[FalKoopa]

Technically, Mario does smile in Brawl once: Right after his match with Kirby, while he waves to the crowd. Though he immediately switches back to his poker face a little later.

Well he should smile more often imo. I mean come on. What is this?

This isn't the Mario I know from his games, why does he look so unhappy? Did he already know that Sonic would make it playable and gets to humiliate him for free in the Sonic Join's the Brawl video? :/

Well I didn't really mean that Mario should always be like that, but I'm just curious to see if they would try it out since they made same for other characters. Well if they just thought of it. (-l.l-)

Also so agreeing with you there. Mario felt too serious and gruff to me in Brawl.

Was that me? It was more of a joke anyway lol.

My Ridiculous Ideas

Spoiler

Bosses

Mewtwo

Roy

Story Mode: Revenge of the Rejects

Mewtwo persuades Roy into joining him to take over the Smash World. The duo starts to wreak havoc and brings in reinforcements to help: Dr. Mario, Young Link, and Pichu. However, the sadistic presumed "kid" creates an evil embodiment capable of mass destruction, even more powerful than Tabuu. As the kid's mind slips into deeper insanity than what was seen in the previous installments, Mario & Co. need to beat Mewtwo and Roy, get them on their side, and stop the raging kid's creation from eradicating everything.

You'll battle Roy, then Mewtwo later on. After, they'll both challenge you to a tag team battle, with this music as the battle theme, with Eight Melodies and all.

May have been lol. I like it though for a non-serious storyline. Mewtwo, Pichu, Roy, and Dr. Mario teaming up to cause chaos lol.

Wouldn't that increase his weight in general though? And I always felt that theory was jossed since Adventures shows Krystal flying a ship at the very end of the game.

Oh, I found this this morning while looking for that Assault skin:

I saw this a while back, and I think it's pretty cool, even if Krystal looks like a rabbit somewhat.
EDIT: Read the original Tumblr post. It's actually Katt which makes more sense.

Well, the series was reworked by Rare during Adventures, also when Fox donned the boots and lost the robot legs.

I dunno, the whole "falls faster because robot legs" makes sense in my mind dude. It's not logical, but it sorta makes sense in the same way that Ice beats Dragon in Pokemon.


Also, if you want that Fox skin, its in KCMM.

Actually, akaik, we're allowed to be off topic ITT. That's why I sorta cut loose yesterday, because I was bored and had no shame...

Snake should have had


"Kept ya waiting, huh?" as one of his taunts... That's like his catch-phrase and everything...

P:M did a good job with Snakes taunts.

 

[FalKoopa]

I just checked the account details of the OP of the thread which was locked a while ago.

He was on a trolling streak and even insulted a mod.

I guess I've seen a glimpse of the ****storm that will come after E3. (>_<)

It took me a while to realize you meant SF Leon. I was thinking of Leon S. Kennedy from RE.

I was like... really? When did we learn that?

 

[Frostwraith]

"Kept ya waiting, huh?" as one of his taunts... That's like his catch-phrase and everything...

He actually says that in the beginning of each match. (While the announcer is doing the "3... 2... 1..." countdown.)

Brace yourself. What you've seen was the tip of the iceberg.
