Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

"Well, for STARTERS the characters are all over the place in the character select screen. Also, Dr. Mario and Dark Pit? C'mon! Why would Sakurai bother wasting a character slot on two clones? Get real! They're going to be costumes, if anything. And why are there three Miis in their icon? What, are they supposed to be three fighters instead of just one? Also, Wii Fit Trainer? REALLY? "Greninja"? LOL! What, is that supposed to be the final evolution of Froakie? Nice try, buddy! Besides, it's obviously just a photo-shopped Little Mac. 8-Player Smash? HAH! In your dreams. That's just too good to be true, like Megaman and Ryu. I mean, c'mon! Crapcom hates Megaman, and why would Capcom get TWO reps? And then there's Cloud. FF VII wasn't even on a Nintendo console! Why would he get in instead of someone like Black Mage? And finally, is that a Gamecube Controller that Player 1 is using? The Wii U can't use Gamecube Controllers! Please...this is the fakest leak I've every seen! Next you'll be telling me that Bayonetta is in this and not K Rool!"

@NintendoFan64: "And there are tons of anime Fire Emblem characters! What is this, Super Smash Fire Emblem Bros.? Hah. The guy who made this leak must love Fire Emblem, he might as well throw in the main dragon anime character in the Fire Emblem game that releases 4 years from now! There's no way this can be real! And why is Duck Hunt in the game? That dogs is probably the most hated protagonist in any game.
This leaker is quite the expert, though. This is just too impossible. 8 player Smash? Can the Wii U even handle that? HAHAAHA!"

Didn't they just barely make 8 player smash in?

I'd like to think this highlights the difference between our little group and other, larger gaming communities. I don't care about indie characters, but I still see the charm and appeal of Shovel Knight and Shantae.

I would hope that "I wanted all those characters to get in " would win by a vast majority.

@NintendoFan64: MADNESS. What's next? "Ray-man?"

@CharlieSmile: enter butthurt fanboy with stack of papers Hey, that's not fair. Rayman could totally join. Nintendo and Ubisoft are real close! See? I've compiled a list of games Ubisoft has put out on Nintendo systems in the last decade. This proves that Rayman is coming to Smash! I just know it! Certainly better than that glorified Sonic clone everyone keeps calling "Pacman."

Is it February yet? I look at the cast right now and all I see is not Bayonetta. Aaahh I'm so excited!

Realizable clearly means as in there was no legal trouble getting the character. The top votes were probably Goku and Shrek. Not realizable at all. While Bayonetta is form Platinum who has a very close relationship with Nintendo right now.

Speculation won't get us anywhere because we don't know the actual meaning behind him saying realizable characters. He didn't say what he meant behind that, so we can't be sure that it means legal trouble.

@Retro_on_theGo: I remember when Mewtwo first got announced, each day I asked is it Spring yet ...such a long wait butt it paid off!

Wow...

If anyone is unhappy with Sakurai's reasons for anything, just replace the words with "I just felt like it, so nyah!"

And Samus and Zelda, the two most renown female cast characters have nothing. How can I tell, because They still didn't bother connecting that Jab of Samus's.

i'll probably pick up this game for my 3DS now.

Um...guys? Remember a while ago when that one guy got a broken copy of the game and all the characters looked...off?

are you finding these links from reddit?

I don't know how he enjoys playing it like this, but the only way to fix thi is to get a new wii u. Shulk's abs seem more solid with this glitch though...

I think the joy he gets out of this is just seeing how the characters look. Also, yeah, new Wii U. He needs one. Also, what would happen if he played against someone online? Would he look like that to them, or would it only look that way for him?

Don't think I saw anyone comment about it on here, but has anyone noticed that Bayonetta is the first character to use an actual gun in Smash? I believe Sakurai didn't want actual guns in before or something which is why they are all explosion or energy based and why Snake didn't use any guns in Brawl. Don't know if it's related, but the Ray Gun in Smash 64 fired more like a real gun and had more gun-like sound effects, but it was changed to be more like a laser in later games.

I noticed that, too. Also, Kirby can now use guns his feet...does anyone have a gif of that part from the Direct?

So I encountered a glitch while playing the 3DS version of Midgar.

I had just summoned that fire summon that tilts the entire level with a pillar of fire under the stage. The fire pillar hit the stage from underneath on the right side, tilting it to the left. At the same time, I was facing left and rolling to the right. I ended up phasing through the stage and instantly popping out underneath and dying.

Has anyone else encountered this glitch? Or is anyone able to duplicate it?
