The Official Super Smash Bros. Thread

[Matt Mortem]

The last Smash Bros had Sonic so I wouldn't mind them adding one or two Sonic related characters in the next one. Knuckles or Tails would be a lot of fun to add to the fray.

Meh, I'd rather that they limit the amount of third party characters in Smash Bros. I don't want to see a situation like we're seeing with the PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale where we are just baffled with some of the characters being used in the game like Big Daddy. I say just limit the third party characters to Snake for Konami, Mega Man for Capcom, Pac-Man for Namco-Bandai, and Sonic for Sega.

Also, instead of just changing color pallettes, Nintendo really needs to go with skins. There is no real reason for Young/Toon Link to be a different character from Link or Dr. Mario being a different character from Mario. And how about a real Fusion Suit Samus.

I agree with this. It uses up a roster spot for essentially the exact same character, moveset and all with only visual tweaks.

[The Sarge]

If they were to ad pac-man, what do you think his move set would be like?
Mega-man would be sweet. I was thinking it'd be sweet if you took a move from the last person you KO'd. Not the b-move like Kirby, but the jump attack perchance. Be a unique way of bringing in how he takes abilities.

[the_ultimate_evil]

personally with namco behind it can see guys like sonic and snake being dropped

and there is no way capcom will allow megaman, they seem to have a real hate on him at the moment

[hippie_hunter]

I don't see Capcom saying no to Mega Man if they were asked by Nintendo. And Namco being involved has nothing to do with other third party characters. They've worked with other major Japanese publishers before like Capcom, Sega, and Nintendo.

[Boom]

If it's not too much trouble, could Nintendo please:

1) Keep Wolf in the next game.
2) Make him look like his brief appearance in the intro movie for SSBM.

His designs in the last couple of Star Fox games and in SSBB are complete garbage.

This:



****s all over this:

[Soapy]

I like the second one. :/

[LibidoLoca]

Let's get rid of Wolf, so Krystal can be in it. Nothing like a little furry T&A.

[JustABill]

There needs to be only two Star Fox reps and they need to play totally different from one another.

[hippie_hunter]

I'm fine with keeping Wolf and Falco, but hopefully Nintendo and Namco differentiate them a bit. Also, Krystal would be an excellent addition.

[LibidoLoca]

If anyone needs another rep it's Metroid, I love Samus and all but I think another character would be pretty cool.

[Jess]

I'd add Conker or Bonjo and Kazooi

[Soapy]

They should probably put Little Mac in this one.

[Mogwai]

^I was just thinking that.

[Boom]

Anywho, if they were going to limit this game to two Star Fox characters, I'd prefer it if they kept Wolf and ditched Falco. In addition to being the villain representative for the Star Fox series, he is responsible for one of the internet's most endearing memes.

You people suggesting Assist Trophies that should become full characters amuse me. But...

[JustABill]

I'm actually mostly existed because some new people are behind this one. Maybe this time we won't get a bunch of game producers who make excuses as to why certain franchises can't have a rep.

That's why I'm enjoying the roster for Playstation Allstars so much. They've literally took characters who don't fight and made them into fighters somehow.

[Soapy]

They didn't do that with Smash Bros. before?

[JustABill]

Nope.

''Animal Crossing can have a stage, but not a rep because they are peaceful villagers."

Brawl was excuse after excuse as to why certain popular franchises had stages or Assist Trophy's but not an actual representative.

Smash Bros. have done this pretty well as well. Characters like Fox, Mr. Game & Watch, Ice Climbers, R.O.B., Peach, Zelda...

[JustABill]

I'll give you Game & Watch, Ice Climbers, and R.O.B., but Fox, Peach and Zelda have all had some sort of action in their various incarnations over the years.

[LibidoLoca]

I still think Fox and Zelda apply since Fox didn't do anything outside of his Arwing/Landmaster before Smash Bros. and the only action Zelda had was as Sheik.

As a smash player of the competitive scene, I take exception to this. Though seemingly similar the end result is they end up playing quite differently.

Only thing I really want to see for the next smash is megaman, better character balance, and better wifi. I've always wanted to play as megaman. Sakurai balanced all the characters in brawl by himself.... What. The. ****. lol Atleast he has stated in an interview that he will not just do it himself this time. And with Wii U the wifi should get way better. I just don't think there is any excuse for how dreadful it was in brawl. :/ Hell, it's programmed to have a minimum of 6 frames of lag no matter the connection. You could be playing on LAN for christ sakes and there would still be that 6 frame delay.

Also please take out stupid things like random tripping and in-game things based on ports. Quit catering to the uber casual crowd and quit telling the competitive scene to basically go **** itself..

Sadly, if you pop open the hood on brawl and look in to how it's programmed, it might leave you with little hope with the next one. Hopefully with the help he's having this time around, it will be a much more polished game.
