Super Smash Bros. to appear at San Diego Comic-Con (Special Surpise, but don't get your hopes up)

[Gene]

Twitch chat is "RIOTing". How pathetic considering no character was announced to be revealed.

You, and every other person brought that on yourself. Get rekt.

 

[The One Who Wrote This]

Oh, and another thing. Bowser NEEDS to be voiced by Kenny James!

 

[Deleted member]

Wow. People in the Twitch chat are freaking out just because there was no character reveal. Yeesh.

It's Twitch chat, what do you expect?

 

[Soul.]

This tournament was a good one, especially the finals and the part where Toon Link was against Luigi.
Now, I guess that showed that the 3DS version can be competitive, after all.

 

[Skyfox2000]

I think Luigi made it to the finals (not the grand finals, the one before it), where he lost to Toon Link.

Do you know how far Sonic got? Youtube wasn't working for me?

 

[Senario]

That grand finals really shows how different Smash 4 is from Brawl, and ledgeguarding is still a thing guys, it ain't gone at all. Not that Brawl was bad, but Brawl was pretty boring from a spectator's standpoint.

More interesting, I hope more characters will be shown to be just as good. Not enough skilled players have gotten their hands on all of the characters of the game, and much less have done so in a somewhat competitive setting thanks to the four player free for alls with items that exist for Nintendo's events.

 

[StarLight42]

Bowser wasn't garbage in Brawl.

He was.

Also If they aren't going to show anything interesting then please don't tease "special surprises".

 

[Mega Bidoof]

What's this "Red Robe" thing that people are taking about?

 

[Turokman5896]

You, and every other person brought that on yourself. Get rekt.

He's saying they shouldn't be rioting...

 

[Johnknight1]

So sad our boy Raikou/Rei lost in Grand Finals (he won Winner's Finals) after a DOMINANT RUN.

I've known him for a good while via various mediums. He's played Brawl competitively for many years. He's a great dude.

But I'm glad my fellow Cali boy Larry Lurr, who is a top player in Melee AND Brawl, got his moment to shine in the sun. Plus from what little I know of him from the little I've talked to him at tournaments he seems like a pretty cool dude.

Overall it was a fantastic finals. Neither character camped, and while both of them had plenty of holes in their game, considering how few Smash 3DS (or Smash WiiU for that matter) matches they had under their belt, they both did a fantastic job. They also kept it close every match.

Also, Raikou/Rei gave us this gif...

 

[Ehn Jolly]

To be honest though, this tourney showed that the 3ds Smash is going to be just as solid as the Wii U version. We saw some very high level gameplay that didn't at all feel like it was hampered by being on the 3ds, very solid mechanics and a lot of fun matches that show this is going to be worth investing time and effort into.

A character would have been cool, but what we learned is that this is going to be a great addition into the smash family, and should be welcomed with open arms.

 

[TTTTTsd]

I fail to see that Grand Finals as nothing interesting. I thought that was quite a special surprise, seeing Smash 4 look so....AWESOME after that tournament made it kinda flip-floppy.

 

[Ryan.]

Do you know how far Sonic got? Youtube wasn't working for me?

I don't, sorry. I wasn't watching for quite some time and didn't see him at all.

 

[Metallaeus]

What's this "Red Robe" thing that people are taking about?

Larry got a red robe for winning the tournament, it's like the ones for the invitational but it's red instead of blue.

 

[Skyfox2000]

Does Anyone know how far Sonic got?

 

[Veggi]

I think Bowser is a good character in this game, but I think the two Bowsers got into Grand Finals because they were obviously much better players than everyone else at the tournament. I wouldn't say Bowser is a super good character yet.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Fair> trade Fair > F-tilt . Good **** Larry.

[Metallaeus]

I honestly disliked how people were calling out Bowser as just an OP character, but twitch chat is cancer, so whatever.

 

[Minato Arisato]

Looks like you missed that Sheik, there.

 

[JabbatheHutt]

you missed sheik. this image is now illegal in china

 

[Mistress Nicole]

Gotta love that random Sheik in there.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

LOL at Sheik

 

[Wyoming]

Good show! After a pretty terrible start this event really redeemed itself with time.

Bowser looking good! Unbelievable how the invitational players had him down as bottom tier after watching that. From the looks of it he'll be viable for the first time ever, but of course we never know...maybe will someone will counter him hard? With that said, I really like how balanced the cast looks. Hopefully it stays that way.

Also glad we didn't get a reveal, that means more hype for the POtDs. Unbelievable that people thought it would happen. No warning from Sakurai = no reveal. Simple mathematics.

 

[gamer8]

I don't, sorry. I wasn't watching for quite some time and didn't see him at all.

I saw Sonic in like one match but he didn't win. I haven't really seen people pick Sonic much in the Wii U version either surprisingly.

 

[Mega Hawlucha]

Does Anyone know how far Sonic got?

I don't even think anyone bothered to play him...at all

 

[Turokman5896]

This^^ it's clear bowsers beastly, but those two were miles better than the competition in 1v1s

 

[Moon Monkey]

Boswser only no items Battlefield. Welcome to Smash 4!

 

[JabbatheHutt]

No warning from Sakurai = no reveal. Simple mathematics.

Tell that to Pacman.

 

[majorasmaskfan]

So they are going to show game play of the 3ds metriod tomorrow.

 

[Skyfox2000]

Tell that to Pacman.

and Wii Fit Trainer.

 

[Turokman5896]

Tell that to Pacman.

The clouds man, the clouds!

 

[ryuu seika]

That was a great show and I love what I'm seeing. In every match, even when it was somewhat defensive, the gameplay was action orientated and at a good pace and it felt a lot like how I, personally, play Melee*. The only thing that disappoints me is the loss of range on Kirby's projectile. The move is now entirely useless offensively.
Loving what they did to Bowser though, he seems pretty OP when on a stage that doesn't favour projectile gamers**. Staring him down with a close quarters character is going to be scary!

*I'm not saying the games are anything alike, simply that this game looks to promote a style of play more akin to mine than I have seen in previous competitive environments.

**This is not the same as OP overall, just that Battlefield hardly seems neutral in the Bowser v Sheik matchup.

 

[LIQUID12A]

We still have 2 days for special surprises. So I wouldn't give up just yet.

 

[Senario]

I can't remember, were there any actual true combos? That aren't part of the same jab combo I mean. I remember a lot of attacks being thrown out but not a lot of linked moves that didn't have the opponent recovering into a neutral state after.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

So they are going to show game play of the 3ds metriod tomorrow.

Why would they?

Plenty of legit two-piecers, at least. That Fox dash attack into uair seems to be legit, for example. Also saw a lot of combos that happened because multi-hitters were interrupted by landing on a platform.

 

[HipsandChips]

So I just got off my job and whatnot, how does a brohva watch this?

Well it is something. I want to see longer combos as people play. Two piecers is great and all but when you get into 3-4+ combos I find that really exciting. That isn't to say the game wasn't played well today, it was. Carefully watching to see how it goes.
