SSB4 General Discussion

"Dead" means nothing.

Kid Icarus was dead, we got Pit in Brawl. (Uprising wouldn't have been done had Pit not be in Brawl)

I thought they brought back Kid Icarus because it was a popular retro franchise? If I remember right the two games in the series were for the NES and the Game Boy, and they were both popular.

It wasn't as popular as you think.

IMO, I doubt Bowser Jr's chances got higher just because he was excluded from the 2 new Mario games. Have to remember that Waluigi was in the same shoes as well (minus 3D Land). Sure fans are not pleased that those 2 were not in MK7, but dont think the complaints were enough to catch Nintendo's full attention. Jr is still a good candidate, but Toad has been Top 4 most wanted Mario series newcomer since after smash 64 while Jr didnt become a favorable candidate until pre-Brawl. If Bowser Jr doesnt appear in the upcoming Mario Party 9 game, I predict that Jr's fan support while start to become quiet.

As for 1P Mode, I cant atually sit here and say that the Sakurai failed with 1P. Sure, it couldve been better, but some fighting games are not mostly known for its 1P Mode as it is for its multiplayer.

I dont think FZero is dead. The Wii is the only console the FZero series didnt have a game in. Remember that Metroid didnt have a game on the N64 and look where the series is now. FZero could possibly be going through the same phase on the Wii similar to how Metroid went through with the N64. That phase being a irrelevant series during a generation, yet still having a smash appearance, and eventually return during the next gen much more popular

Bowser Jr. is confirmed to be a boss in certain levels in Mario Party 9 (appearing in trailers), not sure if he'll be playable at all. But he will make an appearance.

I Beleive it is confirmed That a New Starfox Character Will be included.
So I Say Either Leon or Krystal will be it.

King k. Rool Is half Confirmed.
People Keep on Saying Giraham is going to get in.
Zoreak will probbably Replace Lucario
Ridley Has Been Wildly Discuss and They said thay may add a new Metroid Character.
Alot of Assist are soposed to be Becoming playable Hopefully including:
Little Mac
Saki
Issac
I Have Also heard this Weird Prince Sable Dude is in.
I have Heard King Hippo too.
I can Garnentee That Kid Icuras Gets a New Character so Either Palutena or Medusa.
I Have Heard Proffeser Layton.
I have Heard Shulk
Mega man Of Course
I haveHeard Slime

Only new 3rd party I REALLY want is Professor Layton.

Krystal is more likely.

Yeti, that info was confirmed to be fake 4chan fodder MONTHS ago.
Nothing has been confirmed for SSB4 and the game's development won't even begin until after the release of Kid Icarus Uprising.

Nothing is guaranteed, Yeti.
Especially a Starfox character. Krystal represents the "bad" part of StarFox, there is little demand for Slippy, and Leon...well, I have no arguments against him. But at that, a 4th rep isn't even necessary.

So far, the only thing we really know as far as characters is the possibility of a franchise being reinvented and most likely be on the roster. My bet is on Mach Rider, but I can't picture Sakurai working on a game like that

And a Capcom rep too.

Sakurai mentions them a lot.

He said he would revive a character through Sm4sh, not reinvent them like he did with Kid Icarus.

Sm4sh? What's wrong with SSB4?

Anyway, if I had to pick a new character, I'd have to go with Shulk. I think he has a very good shot at being in the game.

Me gusta.
Shulk is the only really good characters for SSB4.

This. Shulk was and has been growing in popularity sence operation Rainfall (Or whatever it was called) and now that Xenoblade is being released in America, Shulk has a much better chance.

For a retro rep, I think the only characters that COULD get in are Mach Rider, Balloon Fighter, and Duck Hunt Dog. Plus, I think three obscure characters are likely, because Pit no longer counts as "retro" One to replace Pit, one new, and one that fills the same roll as G&W and R.O.B. have. The unexpected WTF character.

I think for third parties, Sonic is back for sure, and so is Snake, cause of his history with the series. Capcom is the next big company to get a rep, so I say that it probably will cause Sakurai keeps bring it up. I would prefer it to be Mega Man, but Ryu seems more likely, due to Capcom's recent attitude towards Mega Man. (Or maybe Mega Man will make it...) I also feel that there will be a Square Enix rep. With all the various crossovers that Slime has had with Mario, its only natural that Smash is the next step. And for a third candidate, I say Professor Layton. Cause that would be amazing.

AND NO SECOND REPS FOR SONIC!!!!

I don't know if The Wii will allow DLC.

The next Smash Bros. won't be on the Wii, it'll be on the Wii U. Since the Wii allows for small things to be DLC (songs on Rock Band and Guitar Hero), we can assume that the Wii U may have more capabilities. Course this is all speculation, and only if Sakurai wants DLC to be included.
And where was DLC brought up anyway?

Actually, I believe Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii U will have downloadable content. The first games for Nintendo to have DLC will be Rythem Heaven & FE13

Cool! I had a wii but it Broke! I hope I get the New Wii and WiiU so that I can play on a mobile Device! It Makes Me think of Playing Smash Bros on a Mobile Device!

How does getting a Wii or a Wii U make you able to play it on a mobile device, or for that matter, even make you think of playing it on a mobile device

That isn't portable.
But whatever. This is getting off topic.

It looks Portable.

The Tablet controller is not portable. It can only go within a distance in the room. You can't take it with you elsewhere

maybe sensor portable that only senses the wii.

Its not at all portable. It functions just like the Wii, except the main controller is the Tablet. You can use Wii Motes on it I know that. But it is not at all portable.

You can play SSB4 in any room in the house, through the tablet. It does not mean that you can take it anywhere else.


Anyway, aren't we forgetting that SSB4 was also confirmed for the 3DS?

Doubt people care much for the 3ds version as they do for the wii u. Mainly cause the console version will not be as limited as the 3ds. But the advantage of the 3ds is that its more creative and personalized
