Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS Discussion

[Lumastar]

Given Sakurai's hate for anything leaking out (Subspace Emissary cutscenes) it's possible they won't leave any more sudden character hints so when they do reveal them they really will be a surprise next time.

Though we don't even know if Sakurai knew it was datamined and leaked.

He did say thanks for waiting after officially confirming Ryu, and the leak certainly wasn't unheard of.

Well, so far it seems the update did literally nothing. Pac-Man is still as glitchy as ever and there's nothing new online.

Is the Yoshi glitch still in?

 

[Magikrazy]

Are you shitting me?

I literally just got 1.0.8.

Fuck.

 

[Icemario]

Starting from about a week ago, I've been unable to send replays whatsoever, and whenever I try it would kick me out of the game completely.

Given there were no balance changes, hopefully that's what the new update fixed.

 

[GalacticPetey]

People have data mined and nothing of interest was found. It's like nothing changed.

 

[Icemario]

Where actually is this update?

I can't find it, no prompt before going online nor its existence in the eShop.

 

[GalacticPetey]

Looks like the K.K. Slider costume was added as a random drop.

Unrelated to the new update, but here's some content that was cut from the game.

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/03/cutsmash4/

1. Rock Pikmin were planned but ultimately put on hold. It’s unknown if development had begun on these Pikmin, but they likely would have been added had there been more time. Rock Pikmin would have been heavy with short reach but high attack power.

2. Co-op play was planned for Smash Run, but the 3DS’s processor was unable to display multiple fighters on the same screen, so the mode was dropped.

3. Co-op power-ups for Smash Run were also scrapped alongside co-op play.

4. Sakurai initially considered including four versions of each Special. One slide displays Mario launching a double fireball, a feature not present in the retail version.

5. He also considered adding special rules to 4-on-4 Team Battles, similar to the multiplayer mode in Kid Icarus: Uprising, Light vs. Dark, but no such features were implemented.

6. Mii Fighters’ Specials were originally going to be included as in-game rewards (much like other characters’ Custom Specials), but they ended up as default content.

you forgot the ice climbers

Did you hear! They're totally coming based off of a definitely not fabricated leak that features both Ice Climbers as well as Pichu on the Smash 4 victory screen. I'm having trouble finding the pic, so here's an Etika video:

What the hell, co-op smash run would have been amazing.

Instead of porting that to the Wii U, we got ----ing Smash Tour instead.

Losing Rock Pikmin isn't too big a deal, they'd act just like more extreme versions of Purple Pikmin

 

[Lumastar]

Hey, at least they didn't go with the last one.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Unlocking the Special moves is always a pain in the ass

 

[Nysic]

especially since you can get ones that you've already unlocked

 

[Lumastar]

If customs return (and I believe the will) in Smash 5 they better either fix the terrible unlock system or make everything default.

 

[Magikrazy]

Didn't hear anyone complaining about this in Melee or Brawl.

Did those games have Special Moves that changed up gameplay or am I missing something?

 

[Magikrazy]

They used it for trophies and stickers. Really the only difference is that I actually use (as in look at and read) the trophies.

 

[Crypt Raider]

They are also different in that they affect gameplay, regardless of whether you personally use them.

Some of these cut things were neat. Except for no. 6, it's good that it's not implemented.

As for the update, maybe it's a pathetic attempt to discourage homebrew. </s>

When hacking begins on this game, people should hack in completely unique custom moves, like Palutena's and Mii's. That would be cool.

Actually this is a really good idea.

Can't wait for moveset swapping.
