The Solid Snake for Smash DLC thread! Such a lust for Smash news....WHOOOOOOOO?

[cmbsfm]

My best story is that I beat boss battles on intense with Snake...

At the end I was just like.

I pulled off coop all star with him.

One time I cracked under tourney pressure early on in my smash career and shield dropped two grenades on myself and blew up my shield. Then accidentally paused in the button mashing to escape the stun. On stream.

It was great.

I actually have a pretty recent story myself.

I've been interested in competitive Smash for around 4 years now. I consider myself to be somewhat decent at the game, and though I play all the Smash Bros games pretty often, I always play against the same group of friends. So last month, my brother convinced me to join a Project M tournament him and his friends were hosting. Since I've never been in an actual tournament before, I thought it would be fun to join. The tournament had a winners and loser's bracket, but only one round to keep the tournament going quickly. Most of his friends had high level knowledge of competitive Smash, so it wasn't going to be easy. I of course decided to use Snake only for the tournament.

The match went extremely well, my opponent was one of the only people who joined the tournament without any PM knowledge, so it was an easy 4-stock. My next match however, was a completely different story. My opponent was a Marth who was basically on-par with my skill level. The match was very tight, and with this being my first tournament, I was very nervous. When we both had only 1 stock left, I was getting ledge guarded pretty hard. I was loosing all of my composure, and before I knew it, I Cyphered under the bottom platform of battlefield, towards my death. I felt a little embarrassed about the ending, and since there was only one round per match, I couldn't redeem myself unless I could come back in the losers bracket.

So after that match, I was determined to make a comeback. I managed to win my way through the losers bracket, until the losers semi-finals. I was once again matched up with the same Marth that dominated me on my last stock. I was mostly over my tourney pressure from the first round, and I was super determined to win. The match was even tighter than the first match against the Marth, but I just barely won that match! It might not seem like much, but that match felt so worth it. I ended up loosing the tournament in the losers final to my brother, who ended up getting second overall in the tournament, but that didn't matter, because that was my first tournament, and I actually did ok! And after that tournament, now I want my main back more than ever Dx

If a video exists, I'm afraid I don't have it.

Completely unrelated to the picture, but that was the first thing that came to mind.

So yeah, Konami has pretty much admitted they're no longer a console game developer anymore.

After "firing" Kojima, Konami became dead to me. I am buying MGSV:TPP, and if they were to remake MG games using the Fox engine, and are good, then I would buy them. Other than that and Virtual Console releases, they are dead to me.

The same goes for me...I just hope that this doesn't hurt Snake's chances to come back...
C'mon, Nintendo! You've already saved Mega Man and Bayonetta, now save Snake!

Well Konami is ****ing dead. This significantly lowers Snake's chances.

 

[Mikegamer0608]

Do you guys think Sakurai knew about all of this with Konami going to ****?

 

[Mikegamer0608]

Konami is not looking to good. A lot of gamers are not happy.

 

[CaptainCrisb]

Oh man.... that's so unfortunate to hear about Konami. Hopefully this doesn't affect Snake's chances too much (before everyone starts tackling me, I'm well aware that there are many reasons why it doesn't, but I'm just sayin)

 

[FeenieTheTrite]

I don't think this would affect Snake's chances too much. Sakurai stated that he wanted to please as many fans as possible with DLC, and he's probably aware that Snake was a very beloved character in Brawl. I don't think Sakurai wanted to get rid of Snake considering how much love was put into Snake's moveset and original content in brawl. Though from a marketing standpoint, I can see why adding a character from a dying company might be a bad business move. But with Sakurai being a Metal Gear fan, maybe he will take this opportunity to give one big salute to the franchise, as it might not be around much longer after The Phantom Pain.

I hope they release one for Phantom Pain like they did Ground Zeroes. I loved having the iDroid in the palm of my hand.
But if it is a cashgrab, nope

 

[JamesDNaux]

Well this definitely sums it up.

I have a recent Snake story to share as well. Though its not Brawl related, it was a dream I had that involved Snake and Smash Bros. I was going to share this yesterday, but I didn't want to suddenly kill the Snake Story streak with a tragic one.

In this dream, SSB3DS suddenly had a version 1.08 update. I had no idea what it did.
Then I had a match as Mewtwo against Ness. Suddenly...

"CHALLENGER APPROACHING!"

I set the 3DS down to scream. The shadow belonged to Snake.

When I could finally bring myself to start the match, I saw that the Snake I was fighting was actually Big Boss in his MGS3 sneaking suit, and I recall him still using the RPG as a side smash. I managed to defeat him and unlock him, praising Sakurai for giving Snake such a sneaky way to join the roster (and, you know, a free dlc character).
Only thing that didn't make sense was the stage I fought him on was Lylat Cruise, which A) wasn't in SSB3DS. B) Isn't his home stage. But that was an afterthought.

Now, the tragic part of the dream? I woke up. And it took me a minute to realize it was only a dream and Snake wasn't in Sm4sh.

I basically felt like everyone does when they listen to this track after that.

How to become worst than EA, Capcom and Ubisoft combined in less than 2 weeks

Sega still said they were sticking with consoles, they aren't leaving, Konami just flat out said we were done after MGSV. Any game we have on consoles will either be a re release or a Metal Gear Homecoming and Downpour

 

[Zajice]

They're honestly shooting themselves in the foot. I don't see mobile being the future of gaming, and in a few years, people's interest in freemium no-effort mobile time wasters will dwindle significantly. The mobile market is oversaturating with stupid high amounts of garbage and cash-grabs. It's looking like an accelerated 1983 video game crash. I don't know a single person who's paid money for any mobile game within the last 3 years because it's not worth it, and eventually, even rich people will feel like it's a waste.

 

[Metal Shop X]

After all this good game that Konami have do over the years and now they just decide like to say to all of their fan they won't make game anymore on console/PC? Man, there is better way to commed a suicide. Or at least, you know, NOT SAID AT THEIR FAN TO GO TO HELL?! Really, i don't know the logic behind it. The mobile will never permet to Konami to survive, that's just like create is own tomb. Mother of god...Snake, you have to return here before it's to late!

So many amazing IPs gone to waste. I mean, not Konami went down, they took Hudson Soft with them (though ages ago).

Yeah, Konami has have a bunch of IPs go to waste.
I hope they find better homes. ._.
Especially Silent Hill and MGS.
Who would you prefer they went to, however?
My choice would be MGS and Silent Hills = Sony, while Everything Else = Nintendo.

I think we can all agree that the real loss here...

The kid-friendly franchises should go over to Nintendo while the mature ones go to Sony.

Then again, Nintendo hasn't shied away from mature games, so it could go either way.

 

[Zajice]

Everything Nintendo. All of it. It'd be nice to have some dedicated mature franchises. And Nintendo's the least corrupt of the AAA modern game devs.

Also I want Kojima to make a Zelda game.

Actually, on the topic of dreams, I also had one about a month ago. I was going to this big horror play and I got to sit by Sakurai himself! He didn't really say much, but sometime after he pulled out his 3DS and began to play on this new stage. I actually still have it in mind and it was actually pretty creative (maybe I'll have to pull it out sometime for one of my own stages) and I look on the bottom screen and there I saw him: Snake in his glory. I began to freak out and Sakurai told me I couldn't tell anyone or something. He went to the character select screen and there were three pages of characters in the roster. Yes, 3 pages. But most of them were Pokemon and from that point I realized I was dreaming haha. Those dreams are always pretty silly.

 

[Twin Shot]

How funny would it be if Konami ended up selling their IPs and Nintendo actually bought up Metal Gear?

Even if Konami still owns the Metal Gear Franchise and leaves the industry, they could still farm out Snake for Smash. I think any deals that needed to be made to include our sneaky hero may have already been made prior.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Well, seeing as how Nintendo doesn't shy away from Mature games like MGS nor horror games like Silent Hills (a la Fatal Frame), I think all IPs going to Nintendo is the best idea.

Not necessarily stick with them, but mobile is now sega's main focus.
We'll still get sonic games on consoles, but that's about it.
