Gaming Everything We Know About Super Smash Bros. 4

[TripleSMoon]

I was obviously trolling up there. When SSB 4 comes out i will test it before . But i was really dissapointed with brawl (I became a competitive melee player after brawl as released, in fact i also played brawl but the engine was too slow for my taste, so i decided to play melee), and if you check Sakurai's opinion regarding the competitive community, i am sure i will be dissapointed with smash 4 (Unless Sakurai understands that a party game can be competitive and that a competitive game can be fun for casuals (Prime example: Melee))

My apologies, I couldn't tell you were trolling.

At any rate, It was just a week ago that I finally picked up a Wii, and naturally, a copy of Brawl (though I've played a few times before with friends), so I've been playing Melee since 2004 until just last semester (let a friend borrow my copy of Melee, and still haven't met him to get it back). And I agree, Brawl is just too slow. I mean, I like just about every other aspect of the game (thus far) except for the wretched loading times. And I especially like how just about every character feels "playable" to me now. Characters like Samus and Link felt to unwieldy and slow for me to effectively use in Melee (being a speed and aerial player, I always used Yoshi in 64 and Melee), but in Brawl they felt like great characters. But perhaps that's just me. Only time will tell, in the end.

If I'll buy a Wii U, I most likely get both versions.

Brawl isn't slow! Melee is too fast! But seriously, I played Brawl first, and then Melee. The high-speeds made it difficult for me to play, plus the fact I'm used to Wii + Nunchuck made the controls even harder. I just hope SSB4 will be in-between.

I think that's what it largely boils down to, honestly. People like me who played Melee first find Brawl too slow, and vice versa.

I updated it the first post with a minor update. Better than nothing I suppose.

Im interested to see what nintendo does with its nintendo network. Smash Bros DLC could be neat, depending on what they do with it. Character Packs, New stages, Item Packs, the possibilities are neat to think about. And why stop there? Maybe follow in the call of duty franchises steps and offer double xp weekends, tournaments for special prizes and more. Im sure the connectivity for online will be much smoother (at least one can hope...). And my biggest hope is for all this to be on wii-u and 3ds. Support for both platforms would equal an influx in nintys profits.

I won't buy it. 3 versions is enough for me and I love modding Brawl, so yeah. XD

but but what? No, I won't buy it. Tbh, I'm just not interested in another iteration of it.

*Insert fanboy rant filled with insults and bs reasoning here*

Jk :-p

I will buy both versions. I have been playing the whole Smash series since the first one was released. If I didn't buy them my collection would be useless.
I got all originals without any scratches. And I don't have high expectations for the 4:th, thats way I know I'll just be disappointed.
In my opinion Brawl is great if you like to follow the story and also letting your friend join and not wait for his/her turn to play.
Melee is better if you want to be a showoff if you are a badass pro.

Well, they are taking the series into a new direction, so it may be a bit different than past games. Oh well, people have opinions.

Yeah, bt it's not that. Although It'll be interesting, to say the least.

I remember competing in regional melee tournaments and then coming to brawl and thinking man is that slow...then I started playing as diddy and kicked more butt at the competitions

I'm getting both, problem is, gotta get both systems first. I wonder if Sakurai will use the smashbros website for updates again? Geez, just the anticipation for updates every week or so made the game that much satisfying for some reason.

For any body who cares, I added a new poll. Hopefully this will help somewhat with the waiting... hopefully.

Mewtwo. He's the only one of those who wasn't a clone.

Roy had it own move set, didn't he?

 

[Schlupi]

FUCK YEAH MEWTWO. The Master of Psychic should make a glorious return!

 

[TripleSMoon]

No. He was a complete clone of Marth, with some fire-based effects added to his attacks and slightly different speed, etc. He was about as different from Marth as Falco was different from Fox in Melee.
