What type of DLC would you want?

[Wyntir]

Perhaps they can do stage packs that include 1 character. Have this stuff tie to your nn id so u can dl multiple times in case u own more than 1 wii u. Plus I believe the DLC should be cross buy between wii u n 3DS.
For character DLC, could be tied in with amiibo.. If u buy one, a dlc code will be located inside. Just some ideas.

I wouldn't call them clones. I refer to them as re-skins.

Reskins have no difference in stats. Compare Roy to Marth. The two play very differently, even though there's basically only very minor changes between the two.

 

[SS-bros14]

Also, maybe a character appearance customizer and/or custom move DLC would be cool.

Re-Skins are another term for Costumes, meaning that stats are left unchanged.
Clone Characters have different Stats and Properties.
Honestly, there's no shame in being a clone character, regardless of what people say, unless being a clone doesn't make sense for that character (Ganondorf) or all the reps for a series are clones (StarFox).

I would LOVE a Colour Editor akin to Soul Calibur IV/V or Street Fighter x Tekken so we could create our old custom colours for default and alternate costumes. That'd be amazing.
I'd definitely make a Princess Hilda colour for Princess Zelda and Red/Yellow colour for MegaMan akin to his various Fire-based Weapons and what was one colour in Marvel vs Capcom 2.

The thing is people on miiverse go saying clones meaning EXACTLY the same.They go saying that characters with different stats are "semi-clones". LOL that's just a fan based term used for demeaning the characters' purpose.

How about character creator. That would make hackers who mod their smash games really happy.

Yeah..but people on MiiVerse are stupid..I'm normally not so blunt, but for most of them, its true.

A character creator is a bit much, since Smash Bros. is meant to be a celebration of Nintendo characters, unlike games like SoulCalibur, and would kind of take away some of the point of the game.
I think the various custom moves are enough for customization.

Or a more creative stage builder where you can develope your own stages and share. Hackers have done this with brawl.
People on miiverse make me want to smash my 3DS to bits and burn it down because dealing with people there is so FREAKING frustrating.

Eh, I'm sure just changing skin tone, color, and hair for a character wouldn't hurt for a character creator.

Totally irrelevant to the topic, but Wolf isn't a clone, he shares 2 specials with Foxco, and that is literally it(not counting Final Smashes because items).

Anyway, I am against paid character DLC and stage DLC to an extent. I understand there are ways to make it reasonable, but I'd much rather have free characters and stages but paid everything else, because I'd gladly pay for a pack of cool costumes if they gave me free characters. Hell I'd probably want the cool costumes regardless.

 

[LoboRundas]

The ideal model for DLC would be paid extra costumes and only aesthetic stuff, and free characters/stages.

 

[DevaAshera]

Wolf is a clone, just far more different then Falco is.
Wolf's specials are a Blaster, a Reflector, a FireFox-style Up-B, and a Fox Illusion style Side-B.
The Properties are changed, but they are still derivatives. His moves are also all derivatives, even if they appear different. Like instead of Kicks, Wolf has Claw Slashes, but they have about the same range and effect as Fox's kicks do.

I respectfully disagree, I think the best option would be to do an Ultra Street Fighter IV DLC Upgrade that is incompatible with standard Smash Bros. 4 unless an option is chosen to Disable everything about the Upgrade, but compatible with all who upgraded, then we can have characters for those who want them, but not for those who don't and those who don't will never have to see them or learn them for online.

I'd say the nB and >B are different enough to where we shouldn't consider them despite having similar aesthetics.
I don't know where you got that second thing about his A moves from. In my experience that's not true. I'm gonna need frame data on that.

 

[Khao]

Honestly, I think the only DLC I'd pay for is characters.

Stages? Only if they're really, really cool in every way possible.

Items? Bleh. I like playing with items, but even Melee already has far more items than I need. It'd have to be something completely game-changing for me to even consider it, because yeah, even when I do have them on, I only use like, half of them.

Alternate costumes? Screw that. No matter what they are, I'm not gonna spend money on minor aesthetical changes.

Playable characters?

I think I'd get them in a heartbeat, no matter who they add. Or, you know, as long as they got not-cloned movesets and their price is not ****ing ridiculous.

The one thing I'm scared of is them charging you twice if you want to get a character on both versions.

Not at all, most of the A attacks are completely different, not even sharing range and effects. Smashes, aerials, tilts, almost everything is different. He just looks similar, but he isn't a clone at all.

Nah. I stand by my point. If you have updated the game (which you probably should, because with patches and free characters would probably come bugfixes and balancing) you will be able to play with people that did too, if you didn't you won't. It's something really basic, the game checks the version you have, and if you try to join an earlier/newer version, you can't join.

 

[SteelyNeil]

I hope they don't do any dlc at all - it's an incentive to make the final product as complete and robust on its own as possible. No "money for characters", just a good game from day one.

 

[Oz37]

I selfishly don't like character DLC. If I don't have it, I feel like I'm missing out, but I don't want to shell out the extra dough. Additionally, I'm afraid that DLC characters would never feel like part of the true cast. SSB is such an ensemble piece where you really feel like all the characters are part of a "family", and I can't help but suspect that DLCs will just feel tacked on.

Personally, I wouldn't mind DLC for extra parts/pieces for Stage Builder and Mii Fighter costume customization. Alt Costumes are also a fine choice. Basically, I think DLC should truly be "extra" content, things that are nice to have but don't really affect the game build.

 

[DevaAshera]

Okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt there, since I haven't tried Ultra online yet, but I know Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition had a toggle for 'AE' and 'Super', since I played several times with people who had it when I didn't.

Now if you're only talking about the non-paid Updates, then those didn't include any character data at all and were required for Online to even work in the first place.

Regardless though, the option would still be there where people could get the DLC but people who didn't wouldn't even have to see it.

We already KNOW the games are going to be as complete and robust as possible because Sakurai said so, he stated he wouldn't consider DLC until AFTER the games were finished, not before.

The games will be GREAT from Day One regardless of if DLC is included or not..people need to stop this dumb idea that DLC is something that is taken out of the game, if its done as it should be, then its EXTRA, Additional content.

I mostly want it just so we can have cut characters or unfinished character brought into the game to make it the most 'complete' Super Smash Bros. roster by having every single previous Super Smash Bros. character.

 

[200X!!]

A big one under "other" for me is music. I remember reading the 3ds version would only have two songs max per stage. I want more!

I honestly think that was just due to lack of space on the 3DS Cards..DLC Tracks could solve this since they'd be saved to the SD Cards.

Right, exactly. I will happily fill my entire SD card with more music for SSB if it's available. :D

Pretty much how I feel..I'll go out and buy a 32gb SD Card just for Super Smash Bros. DLC if any gets announced lol.

They're just talking about if music DLC came.
Personally, I almost always play with volume down or don't pay attention to the music, so I wouldn't buy music DLC.
If there was stage and/or smash run DLC though, I'd probably shell out some cash.
Or of course a character appearance customizer would make nice DLC that'd I probably buy...

Aw, now see, SSB3DS is one of those games that I'll have to have my headphones around at all times. I gots to have my music.

As for the topic, what about additional trophies for free DLC? Like, we get new puzzles for Mii Plaza for new games every so often, so why not new trophies as new games come out?

How about new parts for stage builder.

That'd be cool, but stage builder might just be a WiiU exclusive, but it'd still be good for the WiiU version.

3ds is capable of doing that too. But it might have a different style.

 

[SS-bros14]

It can support it, but seeing how the 3DS version has a lot of exclusives, I think he'll give the WiiU stage builder.

 

[RPGatWill]

Well the 3DS if it had a stage builder would need to be able to share those stages, which means yet another online feature. I'm not too sure of its chances in the 3DS version, though I can't deny it obviously since the game isn't out.

 

[200X!!]

Aw, now see, SSB3DS is one of those games that I'll have to have my headphones around at all times. I gots to have my music.

I am absolutely the same way, but really with any game. I find I rely pretty heavily on audio cues, so if I can't hear my game, I get super anxious.

 

[DevaAshera]

I personally think that, with how much is already in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, that Sakurai will put the Stage Builder on Wii U...I can't help but feel Sakurai already has the 3DS Cards full to bursting with all this content that we know of and whatever else that we don't, which is also likely why each stage only has 2 Songs Each, unless DLC comes into play.

There's also the possibility that stage builder may be cut.

I think it wont be cut because theres so many 3ds games that have stage builders why not smash plus its probably already in the game.

Mostly because of all the things already being shoved into the game on its own, thats the reason I think Stage Builder may be out.

As for why it may be cut, well, it wasn't really used all that much from what I could tell in Brawl..mostly due to few options to make the stages look like they came from different game series.

 

[Crome]

I'm all up for a thatching except characters. But if there are dlc characters, oh well.
