Top 3 Things You Want In Smash 4

[Lazurwolf]

1. Great online (Better servers, features, and modes to play)
2. Patch system
3. Lots of PLAYABLE content.

 

[Maha Ishaq]

Good online..
Balanced..
Physics closer to Melee than Brawl...

 

[fenyx4]

1. Classic Stages (from all Super Smash Bros. games prior to SSB4, and as many as possible. There are some exceptions that can be left out IMO, such as Sector Z (since Corneria's implementation of the Great Fox is fine and essentially serves the same purpose, although I wouldn't mind if Sector Z's background elements were re-used on a stage with a different platform layout) and all of the Battlefield clones from Melee.), coupled with a robust Stage Builder.
2. Great alternate costumes and palette swaps (especially Magical Armor Link (red) and Zora Suit Link (blue) from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)
3. MewtwoIsaacRidleyKingKRoolTailsKnucklesAndZoroarkAmongManyOtherNewcomers

 

[DrizzyDrew]

1 decent online...anything is better than brawls with a better system than the fc
2 alternate costumes
3 better stage buider/easier way to share and play stages with friends online

 

[Davidreamcatcha]

Either Snake returning or someone getting his moveset.
Better online, possibly lobbies but definitely better matchmaking (with the option to have a 1v1 matchup as well)
Wario being more Wario Land-based. (While something similar to Project M would be amazing, just a ram side b would make me extremely happy).

 

[LF2K]

1. Better online. Less lag and more options when playing against strangers.
2. Alternate costumes. Dr. Mario, Mega Man X, Female Villager, to name a few.
3. More diverse Final Smashes. PK Starstorm and the Landmasters shared between characters isn't fun.

 

[Simensis]

1.- Alternative costumes
2.- Better online, with new options, like making online tournaments
3.- Snake returning

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

1. Mario
2. Sonic
3. Mega Man

Huh. Guess I'm all set. ¦D

 

[SirGalvan]

1. More remix music
2. Give us some N64 stages in HD
3. Palutena playable

 

[Yitsul]

1. Melee's Fast Pace
2. Melee-esque Adventure Mode
3. Giygas Assist Trophy

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

1. Great online
2. Mewtwo (playable)
3. Ridley (playable)

I can very easily see the first two happening, wish I could say that about the third.

 

[GreenReaperGod]

1. Megaman
2. No tripping
3. Rainbow Road stage

oh wait.......

 

[Zuby]

1. Random character switch
2. A better variety in stage design - but still making them playable
3. Lots of Kid Icarus content

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

1. Ridley
2. Mewtwo
3. Better online mode

 

[ZombieVito]

1.- Mewtwo
2.- Snake
3.- Great Online.

 

[Delicious Tears]

1. Tears
2. MOAR TEARS
3. Street Fighter Cartoon M. Bison, even if it won't happen

 

[Deleted member]

1. Improvements made over online battles
2. Stage builder with more features like custom backgrounds (At the cost of being unable to share it)
3. Alternate costumes

 

[Admiral Pit]

1: Much better online with less lag
2: Better balance
3: Playable Palutena (who hopefully is in lower-high tier).

 

[Dianostique]

1. Great online with ranked game maybe?
2. Melee Physics
3. Nintendo supporting tournaments and competitions

 

[asia_catdog_blue]

1. Alternative Movesets
2. A Better Stamina Mode
3. An Item Shop

A. Mini-Games
B. Unique & Interesting Trophies/Stickers/Stamps/etc.
C. An Improved Archives List.

 

[Meis]

1. Character customization. Like Skins, but from other franchises (like Link with Mario costume, etc.)
2. If there is no Story Mode, then a really good game mode where Characters can interact with the others in a cool way.
3. A really good Online Mode, with Tournaments and Stuff

 

[nat pagle]

1. Alternate movesets or just aerials. Recovery customization would be good too.

2. Speaking of recovery, not giving already great characters amazing recoveries. MK does not need multi-jump, 2 glides, and 3 other recovery specials.

3. Lobby system for online. You set the rules, let people join your game. If they don't like it, they can make their own.

 

[DrizzyDrew]

1.- Alternative costumes
2.- Better online, with new options, like making online tournaments
3.- Snake returning

old snake alternate : 0

 

[Renji64]

1. Good Gameplay Closer to melee than brawl and the game to be enjoyable for melee heads.
2. Get Netcode
3. The game to not be defensive as brawl was and be more offensive.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

( doing this again)

1.Palutena playable

2.Dixie Kong playable

3.(totally not going to happen but its always been at the back of my mind.) Mona Playable

Other than characters though....

1. The game to be finished and released tomorrow.

2. a kind of online leaderboard to find the best players and challenge them.

3. faster and more technical gameplay( well at least more than brawl)

 

[Xiloh]

since 85% of you keep repeating the same thing over and over
I'm gonna hang by a limb and say:
1. Dash jumps
2. A mode or setting that has each preceding Smash engine (64, Melee, or Brawl gravity) as well
3. A Final smash for every special: B, ^B, <B, vB, >B
4. At least one Newcomer from every Veteran Franchise along with stage, music, etc.
5. Toybox style selection menus/ with rotating Fighter stance in the 'Combatant Selection' screen

6. More intuitive ways to block/dodge/maneauver/manipulate spacing etc. (No more talk about wavedashing, while I see and use it myself if the moment and competition calls for it)
it's just so unnatural, the tripping animation could be used as a manuevar/dodge and would look more aesthetically pleasing than sliding across the ground

7. Bring the Nintendo world to life with better character interactions: taunts, team smash attacks, multiple grapples, etc.

I should probably stop, I could go on forever, really need to contact Sakurai himself.....

 

[王女 クマトラ]

Tetra, Bayonetta, Kumatora, or Amy Rose and I'll be happy. Better online would be nice, and I'd be disappointed if it didn't happen at this point considering how solid all the 3DS games like Pokemon are with their online, but honestly if it sucks I won't be /that/ mad. But disappointed, yes.

 

[Silvalfo]

1. An online mode at least 9001 times better than brawl's.
2. THE 10-FRAME BUFFER! Or at least a 5-frame one.
3. Captain Falcon being competitively useful.

3. The Zelda Trio not being horrible

[Hammer B]

1. A better online experience
2. Bigger stages and better camera control
3. Less clone and/or semiclone characters and more original ones.

 

[Dott]

1. Physics and power more like melee (well, attacks with more pawa than brawl).
