Unpopular Smash 4 Opinions - share them here!

[byebye]

- 4player "for fun" mode is the true way to play smash. even competitively. we can minimize luck by repetition.
- 1v1 "for glory" mode feels like too SF to me instead of smash

explanation:

"for glory" feels like playing 1v1 mario kart with no items on GCN baby park.
it is a competition of perfect driving skill and good speed setup to win.
but it doesn't require other skills like item management and line management (as your driving lines may change depending if there are item boxes or bananas on the track).
and it breaks the balance of the karts making speed based karts more advantageous than handling / accel oriented ones.

in relation to smash. "for glory" 1v1,
it disregards other skills like item management, item mastery and stage mastery that one needs to excel in the normal mode.
also gives certain advantages to certain characters (i guess mac and megaman?) and disadvantage to some (e.g.rosalina's item pull move). it breaks the balance in place (like speed vs accel on MK).

Anna or Tiki should have gotten in Brawl before Ike.

I don't want NFC figures to be compatible with Smash.

Welp, time to climb out of my little shelter and say stuff.
-I'll only accept Takamaru if we get a stage with some of the music in it's original form.
-I'm probably one of the maybe five people out there that doesn't mind the idea of NFC Figures. However, whether or not I'll like them in Smash depends on how they're used.
-I'd rather have a quirky oddball characters than more obvious "popular" choices. Sure, I've wanted some big names too. But I've always enjoyed characters that I never knew get in. As it reminds me not only of how diverse Nintendo's history is. But also that "chances" don't really mean anything in the long run. Even if we say otherwise.
-I also prefer characters from newer franchises than ones from that are already represented.
-Ridley is a boss. We all saw him. And until Nintendo shows me otherwise, I'll believe so.
-I'll accept Mewtwo only if Jiggs is back as well.
-Speaking of Jiggs, I don't think she needs a moveset change. She just needs buffs.
-I believe that we tend to exaggerate chances more than they really are.
-If we're getting a Namco rep, I want Dig Dug.
-I hope that this time around we get more Sonic CD music than just "Sonic Boom".
-I don't believe the 3DS' competitive scene will be just a side thing or neglected.
-I still have a firm believe that Squirtle and Ivysaur still have a chance. They haven't been disconfirmed yet, we made that up ourselves.

Welp, back to me shelter.

I'd rather Ike stay and we get Micaiah instead of a third sword wielding blue haired lord to rep Fire Emblem.

Robin has swords and magic. Chrom has a shield and a sword. i wouldn't mind having these two in smash four.

Villager is a big enough part of nintendo to be included. Most people who disprove of him are just butthurt hardcore gamers that refuse to accept characters from casual games. if every game was competitive or aimed towards hardcore the gaming industry would SUCK.

People don't like Villager? What twisted reality do you live in?
Let's rename this thread to the "opinions thread". About half of the recent opinions aren't even unpopular.

I've seen a lot of idiots people who don't like Villager because they think Animal Crossing is somehow a lesser game because, well, I dunno.

 

[Ogre_Deity_Link]

Sm4sh will be poorer for not having Fierce Deity Link if he isn't included in one way or another (sans normal trophy)

Welp, might as well add one more to my list.
-I feel that Miis are going to be the ROB of SSB4 (implying they're in). They'll get yelled at by it's non-fans simply because they exist. And they'll get yelled at be their own fans if they aren't customizable. And God forbid they are, that's a whole other story.

 

[Mr.Seven]

I honestly believe Mewtwo will never return for another Smash Bros game ever again.

 

[Thirdkoopa]

This is exactly how I feel but replace "Speculating" with "Hounding over leaks"

They're so pointless at this point unless there's something to teal the truth between.

 

[Flaxr XIII]

- I had no idea people didn't like Charizard's Rock Smash. I freaken love it and I was really confused when I saw that Project M had removed it.

- Saying Project M is better than Brawl is like saying the Pitbull version of a song is better than the original. YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY THAT!!!!!

- I like Ike as much as the next guy, but if he gets cut for Chrom or any other potential Fire Emblem newcomer, I'd be all fine with it.

- Apparently Rosalina should have had a few more major roles before being considered for Smash, but characters like Waluigi and Daisy, who have had NO major roles should've been added instead? Seriously??

- Obviously, Smash need more villains, but the only ones I can see happening are K.Rool and Ridley. Ridley is pretty much a lost cause and... bleh I hate K.Rool's design.

- I found myself warming up to the idea of Miis and I had to slap myself in the face.

Well i right up project m and brawl more to be with brawl like the johnny cash song rusty cage, and project m being the superior cover by sound garden.

Smash FOUR opinions only guys.

SMASH 4 moderators take themselves, their positions, and this forum, way too seriously.

 

[J1NG]

I would be a-OK if Smash 4 had as many characters as Brawl, meaning that I am also OK with characters getting cut.

I am not opposed to player-chosen DLC characters because if you release a game with a full roster, someone is going to have a problem with it. DLC character slots helps alleviate that problem. I know that this sort of thing is just more work for the Smash 4 team, but the game was never going to be easy to develop in the first place.

Not sure if this is even an unpopular opinion, but I would love for Smash 4 to be continually updated after its release, akin to League of Legends.

I think that some franchises can be represented by a single character pretty soundly, and as such, I don't really care for the opinions of people who think franchises like Metroid and F-Zero need more representatives. I am more in favor of increasing the number of franchises included in the game. Precious few character slots...so many characters clawing for them.

I personally hate how the very thing that makes Smash great is what also makes it terrible.

 

[Ta1nted_4ngel29]

-Tourney players losing outside the tourney rules is hilarious.
-No items heavily gimps the game
-Items teaches you how to dodge better and be more aware of the surroundings
-Final Destination is the worst stage ever. period.

ANYWAYS.

An unpopular opinion:

- I'm glad Ridley didn't make the cut.

Because the one off comment here that does no harm, is the enabler for the "BRAWL IS BAHHHHHHUMBUG, MELEE IS FOR FFFFFRUITS and PM IS FOR GENETICALLY MUTATED NON-WOLVERINES", that distracts from the topic's real conversation, has to be cut at some point, and requires a lot more effort, for no real reason nor gain to anyone in the bigger picture.

Because Metroid totally isn't Nintendo's fourth biggest franchise and the only one of Nintendo's big 4 that doesn't have two characters, just the same person with two different outfits.

EDIT:
I don't know if this counts as unpopular...but...
- Celebrating the deconfirmation of someone else's favorite character as a newcomer seems kinda bitter and sick to me, celebrate when your wanted newcomers make the cut, but don't rub salt into other people's wounds, this has been specially prevalent with Smash4 speculation, and it worries me

You're right, actually. A lot of people like to do this and it's the "popular thing to do". :/

Anyway, he wasn't disconfirmed at all. But it doesn't look good Ridley.(alas, this seems to be an unpopular opinion despite being the cold hard truth. Until we get an actual confirmation on his role, well...)

I'd say 50/50...I mean, what's with all the mystery? Same with Wonder Red, he has been perfectly clear about every character not on the game as a newcomer.

I think showing Wonder Red as a trophy sealed his fate. He could pull a fast one on us, but he directly showed him as a non-playable role first. I hold little hope for him.

Ridley's not in the same boat. He never showed his role, despite hints.

Now for a far less popular one;

-Assuming Ridley is not in, and among the newcomers in the leak are true, and Mii is the only one, without characters like Medusa or Isaac(and assuming nobody else I like shows up...), I'm probably going to skip out on the game. I value the roster the highest, to be clear.

 

[A Lucky Person]

I don't want Ridley or K. Rool to be in the game.

Ridley's supposed to be a terrifying monster, but if he's scaled down he's completely unthreatening. "Bu...but Bowser!" Shut up. Bowser is, in many cases, not a terrifying villain. He participates in Mario Kart and even helps out Mario on occasion. He also canonically changes sizes to fit his given role, whereas Ridley hardly ever changes because he's supposed to be a giant, terrifying creature. Even if he does change sizes in Metroid games, he's still ridiculously large because he's supposed to be big and scary. Scaling Ridley down would change a large part of his character.

K. Rool hasn't been the main villain in the DKC games for years (so I hear). I also just hate his design. This one is definitely more of a personal bias, as I am a Metroid fan but am not at all a DKC fan.

That being said, fans who say that whether or not they're getting the game hinges on one character being in or not are childish. The roster will have a solid 50 (+/- 2) characters, and the one that you wanted not getting in ruins the whole game for you? I can say with honesty that if Kirby (my favorite Smash character) got cut for some unexplainable reason I would still get the game. Why? There will be ~50 other characters, and it's still Smash Bros.

It feels good to get that out of my system.

Although I disagree with the rest of your post, I agree with this. Likewise, if they add a stupid character (*cough*Chorus Boys*cough*), I will still buy it.

Samus and ZSS are completely different, so I don't get why people don't count ZSS as a Metroid rep. And how did you get that Metroid was Nintendo's 4th biggest franchise?

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Hey. No criticizing other peoples opinion. You know the rules. lol jk

Nah I get that, but sometimes things get shut down preemptively before there is any major conflict or even when it's just a joke thread or something. I mean, what's wrong with a little conflict? Sometimes things need to be resolved among your peers to reach an understanding. Running in there guns hot and slapping people with infractions and neutralizing the discussion, in my opinion, just enables people to continue saying ridiculous things in a more passive aggressive fashion. I feel like as long as no one is posting porn or something that compromises the integrity of the forum, it should be ok.

These part of the forums are over barred with censorship. Just loosen the grip a little.


@ IsmaR my point still stands

You can't change every opinion that you disagree with.

Forget about it. Soon the'll launch into how the Metroid series makes them feel and you can't say anything bad or they shout how you are a hater and how much they are ignoring you.

The worst part about it is that even if I explain my opinions, I'm probably just wasting my time in one way or another.

 

[Reality_Ciak]

-Jiggs won't be cut. She's far too important for that to happen. She'll be retired

-there is no "trend" to cutting one fire emblem character For another. It happened once. how can that be called a trend?

-pokemon should have 6 reps; pikachu, charizard, SCEPTILE, greninja, mewtwo, and I guess lucario.

-vaati should be in before ghirahim

-ganondorf can only be replaced by ganon

-digdug would be cooler than pacman

-snake shouldnt come back

-little mac, villager, and megaman are the best newcomers so far

-ridley seems likely to be playable

-original 12s can be cut, jiggs being the stand alone candidate.

-that one leak with chorus men is full of it and has just been lucky

-k rool is the most deserving unrepresented villian

-mario should get either bowser jr, paper mario, or lakitu (repping mario kart) as a "6th" (8th)

-impa should have replaced sheik now that they are separate

- 44-51 characters expected

- no dlc characters ever

- miis dont look like they're playable

-no more kirby reps

-starfox is an unpredictable mess

-ROB, G&W, and Wiifit Trainer represent hardware and are not that strange of choices

I just want to point out for the dozenth time this week, this thread is NOT FOR DEBATING AND ONLY FOR POSTING SMASH 4 OPINIONS. So yes, you would be "wasting your time" by arguing or actually trying to change people's minds. Likewise pointing it out/complaining about it is considered off topic/derailing the thread.

On that note, I'm gonna have to ask people to stop obsessing/reporting/getting upset over opinions they don't like. It's a ****ing video game, you don't have to take everything as if someone spit on your face and insulted your mother.

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

Greninja is proof that people do not know what they really want in a roster until they have it.

Lol, the thread has to be derailed just to keep people from derailing the thread.
And what exactly are we debating?
Greninja. I would still rather have Mewtwo.

 

[Pacack]

Ganondorf shouldn't have been added in as a last minute clone in Melee.

I know. Not an unpopular opinion. That's this next part:

Nor should he have been added in Brawl. Ganon should've gotten in there.
