Unpopular Smash 4 Opinions v2.0 - Read the OP before posting!

[Malcolmnex]

so i take back EVERYTHING said about dr. mario. did some play sessions with him and i was whipping pure ass...... forgot how good he is.

also i miss sse. i would love to see how this new cast interact together

 

[Substitution]

I have a feeling once the Wii U version comes out the 3DS will be pushed aside as if it never existed. Because the 3DS is apparently the "awkward cousin that no one wants to see or hear" of Smash Bros. Even though all it's really ever done is be there.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

A lot of the new palette swaps are ugly, or are too hard to distinguish in gameplay. Lucina's are probably the ugliest with those wacky and clashing colors, and there are three Lucario swaps that you wouldn't be able to tell apart on Final Destination. Those are just examples. The devs should have shot for "about four good color schemes" rather than trying to force eight onto everyone; they also should have prioritized pleasing aesthetics and accessibility over making references.

Unpopular opinion:I think dark pit looks pretty cool and hes gonna be my 3ds main

 

[GunGunW]

I like how easy all the characters are to unlock.

 

[Dr. Corndog]

The roster is great. I know, hating on a 49-character roster is the cool thing to do (how dare Sakurai not include my personal favorite character?) Hey, there are things I'd change if it were up to me, but the good far exceeds the bad.

PSA: Stop saying "I'm really feeling it" jokes. Its the most annoying thing ever next to Ridley jokes.

 

[aliensalmon]

Mewtwo is overated.
I don't like Pokemon Trainers in Smash Bros.

 

[Shaymikyu]

I like how easy all the characters are to unlock.

Ditto. I'm a busy college student and I'd prefer to have the characters to work with ASAP.

*I think some of the starters should have been unlockable or revealed later. They played the most hyped ones too early.
*I don't mind Dark Pit, or clones in general. I don't "like" Dark Pit, but I'm indifferent to him. I also like how clones let you try a moveset you might normally not. I've actually preferred some clones to the real deal, like Lucas and Falco.
*I wouldn't mind if Mewtwo, Ridley, or K. Rool were ever included in Smash, but I really am indifferent to it.
*I'm okay with there being 4 FE characters. Lucina was a last minute bonus, anyway.
*As happy as I am that my most wanted Mother stage, Magicant, has come to be, I'm really salty over how shafted Mother 3 was this time. That was actually my biggest fear when the hype for Smash 4 began.
*I'm happy for the 3DS version. I prefer handheld games and I can take it with me more easily to places. In fact, I've been wanting a portable Smash since Melee when my brother and I would hook up the GameCube in the back of our old van. I miss IC a lot, but I doubt the roster would have been much bigger if there was no 3DS version. Besides, I'm betting if there is another Smash a few years down the road, they'll return easily since all that held them back was technical limitations.

• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS is a really dumb title. Seriously, why not call it something in line with the last two like 'Super Smash Bros. Combat'.
• I like Miis.
• I don't miss Roy or Snake. Roy shouldn't have even been in Melee due to the fact HE HADN'T DEBUTED YET and Snake is really weird seeing along the likes of Kirby or Sonic.
• I don't count Professor Layton as Third-Party. To me he's like Wonder Red; second-party.
• I think Machamp is very likely DLC due to Pokken.
• I wouldn't have minded Falco departing in Wolf's place.

 

[Kenith]

The 3dS version of Smash should've never been made if there were going to be so many issues with it.
Not to mention it was a bad idea making a cheaper, portable version of Smash to basically compete with their system seller on a console they're trying so hard to save.

I have a feeling once the Wii U version comes out, Smashboards will become complete and utter chaos.

That is arguable not an unpopular opinion.

Wonder Red is a first-party character because Wonderful 101's fully owned by Nintendo.

 

[Sun & Moon]

Wonder Red is a first-party character because Wonderful 101's fully owned by Nintendo.

The game was developed by Platinum, wasn't it? If so, then Wonder Red is a third party character.

 

[Shaymikyu]

Forgot about the title. I agree that it's dumb, plus just confusing. I mean, if I go to look up the game, if I don't add the system name, it may bring up the original or the general series. I wish they'd just stuck with another fighting synonym. Even if it was going to be a silly one, it'd be less confusing.

 

[BluePikmin11]

The 3DS having issues with certain characters is not a big deal.

 

[JiNinja]

I dont like Lucina as a character, (not talking about being a clone, just her character in general from the Awakening game) therefore I do not like her inclusion in Smash.

Duck Hunt and bowser jr. don't look interesting to me. Nor shocking.

I believe Marth is the prettiest princess in the game. Forget peach, rosalina, and zelda.

 

[Shaymikyu]

My biggest grief over stages isn't Mushroomy Kingdom or the Yellow Devil or anything, but that they didn't bring back my favorite stage, Fountain of Dreams, AGAIN. I'd say "come on, Wii U," but Sakurai mentioned in a recent interview/column I can't find that it's hard porting over Melee data.

I wanted that stage so bad, too. It's my favorite tourney-legal stage. BF's look is boring now and yeah I know there are the Omega stages now but still lol

 

[Shaymikyu]

I liked BF at first, but playing it over and over in the demo kind of soured me to it.

I just miss the darker purple 64/Melee look with all the trippy backgrounds. It looks too bright and cheery now IMO.

All right, I'll change it then. Sorry about that.

 

[Zol]

are the following opinions unpopular yet?

Pit is a dumb character
Dark Pit is a stupid ****ing recolor
Sonic is lame and needs to get run over by a harvester

if not, then ****, i'm still in the wrong thread

Honestly the dark pit part isn't unpopular since most people hate dark pit from what i've seen

but I respect your opinion and I agree sonic can be pretty lame why sakurai did you make sonic lame

sonic was always lame rofl

The game was developed by Platinum, wasn't it? If so, then Wonder Red is a third party character.

F-Zero GX was developed by SEGA, the DS Starfox was developed by Namco, and Wonderful 101 was developed by Platinum games, but Wonderful 101's still fully-owned by Nintendo as an IP.

 

[YoshiSonic]

Why can't fludd be his own character?

 

[ErenJager]

I don't like separate characters appearing as alternate costumes, only in certain circumstances I feel it's applicable.
Only when that characters move set will flawlessly fit that new character. For example Olimar and Alph fits perfectly.
However Koopalings becoming Shadow Mario isn't exactly perfect... The same would apply to Metal Sonic becoming Super Sonic, Blood Falcon driving the Blue Falcon, Daisy summoning Peaches etc.

 

[DownWitDaWaveDash]

I dont like how brawl players are playing the game , not approaching etc

 

[Substitution]

I know this opinion isn't exactly Smash 4, but since it is very much in-grained in the Smash community I think it works.
I'm not too overly depressed about Brawl in the Family ending. Sure, granted, it was a decent webcomic I get that. But I also think as sad as it is, in my opinion it's better for something to end a memorable comic than one that continues but with a lack in quality (Spongebob and the Simpsons are good examples of great shows that just went on too long).

 

[Swamp Sensei]

They developed it but Nintendo owns the IP.

It's like when Rare developed DK games but Nintendo still owned them.

 

[Bearbuddy4]

I like how easy all the characters are to unlock.

thats interesting to see someone who thinks this way. I always like characters to be a challenge to unlock. It provides extra incentive and fun when playing classic mode aswell as other solo modes. I would love for it to be tough to get a new fighter.

example : to unlock toon link you must use every legend of zelda character and beat classic mode on hardest difficulty. stuff like that

hey man, we were excited when Avatar the last airbender was announced as a character, he uses his manado ...manato..and stuff. crap...im really blowing it.

 

[supercopper64]

Mewtwo is actually my most hated character in the series. I really don't get why people like him.
But hey it's just an opinion, a SMASH OPINION!
Thanks for reading :D

 

[Jaedrik]

I've got one.

Smash 4 is an inferior competitive game compared to Melee and Project M. Therefore, Melee and Project M have pride of place. Should there ever come a mutually exclusive decision between them and Smash 4.
No comment about 64. I just love that game in general.

How the Fracktail is this an unpopular opinion.

 

[ItsMeBrandon]

I dislike Greninja and Lucina being playable. Largely because I see them as overrated. I've played both Pokémon X and Fire Emblem: Awakening, and I do think that both Greninja and Lucina are pretty cool in their respective games, but beyond that I just don't really care for them, and I usually get kind of annoyed with the massive hype behind each of them.

In fact, I'm more okay with Dr. Mario and Dark Pit making it in as fighters. I don't know how or why they did, but I'm fine with them. I mean... I'm iffy on Dr. Mario since he's the same character as Mario, but I don't mind it much. Dark Pit I actually like as a character more than Palutena, so, you know, that's just how I look at it.

 

[Jaedrik]

...

Well, it depends on the people I'm around, I suppose.
My general impression of Smashboards is that the users who frequent it are generally hostile to this sentiment.
Then again, I only ever go in the Smash 4 forum, because it's hip and happening, and then sometimes the Project M forum, and there are a few skeptics there too.
You're probably right, though.

 

[Deleted member 269706]

Chrom would've been a better fit than Lucina.
MegaMan and Pac-Man are boring to play as.
Greninja shouldn't have made the cut.
Melee is the most overrated Smash game.

 

[RoflMaster]

Brawl was a lot better then Melee for competitive play and honestly I like using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck 5x more then the Gamecube Controller.

That first bit I'm pretty sure is proven to be the opposite by facts, and this is a Smash4 Opionions thread not Brawl opinions.


Vectoring needs to be patched out ASAP. Turns the game right back into brawl. Holding up is too good
Sakurai got lazy with this game
Sakurai needs to kill himself with work like he did for melee to make a more excellent game
