Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

Do yall like move lists?

Sure, why not?

yep

OMG that's just too perfect XD

What is this!? That's not the wii fit trainers, we saw her full moveset already.

any song from kirby and the amazing mirror. AKA best soundtrack of all time

Quote from Sakurai, "Pic of the day. Mysterious solar power."

Hmm. I want to say it's from something else, but I bet the ball of light energy is coming from the Trainer. She does yoga, so I bet that somehow gives her energy powers (and Smash Bros. does give characters previously unavailable abilities, so that theory isn't too out there).

Well, to add to the music discussion; I think a composition of Mega Man's Theme is almost a given. Dark Man's Theme (look it up) is pretty cool and I'd like that, too. I hope this Smash Bros. won't constantly bow down to MM2 and gives the other games just as much recognition. Brawl had the same problem with the Wario series; too much 'Ware', not enough 'Land', y'know?

I'd guess it's a new item. And it can't be some crazy lens flare, because if you look carefully it's right in front of her. It could also not be a stage hazard, because that stage is Battlefield, right?
I'm betting it's an item, I have no idea what else it could possibly be.

Awesome O_O

I'll try to formulate a list starting with the my biggest wish and progress into the lesser desires:
1.) Balanced gameplay in terms of offense and defense. By that I mean I don't want a totally offensive game like Melee, but also not a slow shield grab game like Brawl. I realize that "balance" can sometimes be viewed as a subjective term, meaning different things to different people. In these cases we should look to experienced and competitive players to determine what balance looks like, not fanboys and whoever has the biggest youtube channels(not that this applies to Brawl). This would probably involve slightly weaker shields, less ending lag for moves(Ganon/Ike), getting off the ground faster, a slightly shorter air dodge, lower short hops, less landing lag, less shield delay, recovery moves that punish edgeguarders better but not all of them having a snap-to-ledge feature, and less character hurtbox extension during attacks so that not every move can be shield grabbed so easily.
2.) Character Balance. Easy to talk about, hard to pull off, especially with such a huge cast of characters. Perhaps a perfect balance isn't really called for, because that usually results in every character either being exactly the same or extremely overpowered(Brawl Minus being the best example that comes to mind). You'd sort of expect Olimar or Wii Trainer to suck, but in all likelihood they'll be some of the best in the game just to appease the incoming new players who are playing just for those specific characters. Essentially what I'm getting at is that no character should just be gimped beyond to ability to do anything well, you know the examples(C.Falcon, Ganon, Bowser, etc.). From what I've seen of Bowser this is already being done to an extent with him being a little faster and appearing to have bigger hitboxes. This and my #1 are the biggest components to keeping the competitive scene interesting. And it's okay if certain characters work as counters to others, Lord knows Metaknight needed a good counter.
3.) The return of Mewtwo. This is obviously more of an opinion based wish. for all we know Mewtwo might have gotten a new form in the X&Y games just to refresh the character so that he could be a viable choice in the upcoming Brawl game. It probably goes without saying that if Mewtwo's new form is in the game(and maybe his old form as a sort of Zamus) they probably won't reveal him until much later just to build the hype as much as possible. And it's okay if he's very different, he's supposed to be one of the fastest pokemon in the games, so he really should be quicker imo.

Thanks for reading my input.

I have a list of characters I'd like to see appear (see sig), and I'm hoping to see at LEAST one, join the roster.

That is fantastic!

I hope yoshi returns

Shouldn't Mario technically be Fire Man?

Also Samus and Captain Falcon should be there instead of ACV and WFT. They'd be Beam Woman and Falcon Man.

Arguable. He uses fire balls in Smash Bros but doesn't wear the proper Fire Suit. Sakurai's kind of a jerk for trying to ruin sacred Mario canon that way. > : (

Nothing particularly amazing today, but you gotta love the detail here.

I'm already getting impatient for more info, or at least a character reveal (even if they are a veteran)
