Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS Discussion

So far, in a 6 month period, we got 20 characters confirmed.

16 veterans & 4 newcomers.

I have a feeling that with such quick progress, we might be seeing SSB4 in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2014 the earliest.

And then something goes wrong and the game gets pushed to Spring 2015.

Why is it that every character that gets announced always leads to a massive debate?

I honestly wouldn't mind a delay if its to polish up or add anything. Afterall, this is going to be the game we will play until next gen console, which is probably another 5 - 7 years.

Looks like we won't have much to discuss for the next couple of weeks.

Fixed for competitive people

But yea, we honestly can't complain about today's news. Sakurai has been working on this game for a year and a half now, 7 days a week I read. He definitely deserves a short break. Not to mention that we got 2 new characters, 1 new stage, 1 new assist trophy all in a 1 week period.

Looks like Bowser is due to receive a Buff this generation.

From the article, it sounds like Bowser is being made stronger, but slower.

Which would be a very big nerf.

I really hope I'm just reading that wrong.

^ It does sound kind of like that. But then, he also has a lot of new attacks so we'll see what happens. I don't trust Sakurai to make a balanced cast anyway, i'm just interested in seeing who becomes the top tier.

Here is a more elaborate interview concerning balacing

Well, at least i agree with him on free-for-all balancing being tough. Damn you Weegee...

Seems like it, though I don't think anybody was doubting his inclusion.

I guess another thing Sakurai has to worry about is items, since they can also affect how balanced a character is. Bowser with a Pitfall is a lot more dangerous than Sonic with one, for example.

Items fit in the party game side of it, so it's not so needed to completely balance that.

I agree, it´s not like items are balanced.

Have you seen the legendary pokemons in Melee and Brawl? Those guys beat the duck out of you and give you like 100%-300%, not to mention that some can 1 Hit KO you, like Porygon

But neither is free-for-all. Sakurai's not just thinking about competitive balance here, he's thinking about balance in every aspect of the game.

Believe it or not this is actually how we balance crusade as well, not just for competitive 1v1.

and the crowd goes wild at the announcement of trophies


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Great that they'll be back, I love collecting those little buggers.

Pic of the day. There will be trophies in the 3DS and Wii U games, and each version will boast different types and models. The 3DS trophies will be mainly from handhelds and the Wii U version will feature trophies from the home-console games.

Seems there'll be two different sets to collect, one for each console.

If you're talking about Xerneas, all I said was that he would be the best possible representation for the new generation of Pokémon, I don't know what's wrong in that.

And that is why you will be forever mocked.

Zelda got a new Side Smash it seems, so they do appear to be changing her a bit at least. This may mean the Phantom Knight is part of her moveset, but it doesn't confirm it obviously.
