Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

This is a forum. It's not a place for spoiling the game. It's a place for discussing it. learn2internet please.
_{Also, I punctuated that for you.}

It's way too fun and tempting too look at everything they announce, though. Ah well. It'll still be great, spoilers or not.

I think it spoils the fun a bit, releasing all these screens every week. It's almost like you know the game inside out before even playing it.
But I guess in this time and age it's almost impossible not to see spoilers. Or Sakurai would just need to release 1 interesting pic now and then, which would be ideal I think.

But what's up with the "these screens are boring", "I bet there is a big surprise coming since last weeks pics were so terrible" What's wrong with you lol, it's just silly.

Unfortunately, there's always going to be a lot of overlap between those two.

No you don't. Even if Sakurai released full movesets for every character(which he honestly should), a full stagelist, and a list of every item, AT, and Pokeball Pokemon, that still wouldn't spoil the game because you haven't actually had the chance to play it yet.

Again, seeing a game and playing a game are two completely different things. Smash Bros. is more that just the sum of its roster/content. Even if I knew every characters' moves before playing the game, I still don't know the properties of each move. What are each moves strengths and weaknesses? Do some moves have hidden tricks or features(i.e. Melee Mario's SJP Wall-jump)? These are things you can't find out by just looking at stills of the game.

And even if we did know all that stuff, that still wouldn't/shouldn't spoil the game, because the real point of Super Smash Bros. is playing together with friends(either locally or (hopefully) online). and that's an experience that still pictures and videos of the game can't recreate.

Even if this game was released in December, and it most likely will come out before that, if there were 2 of any of the things i listed shown per week, only about half of what i said would actually be shown.

Im really happy with flow of announcements they have, two or three small bits of new info a month. I'm not putting too much pressure on the screen shot, after all its a screen shot of the day not announcement of the day so to get angry over them is silly. It was never going to be the Brawl Dojo. I don't think jot was ever intended to be. If it were up to me I'd want them to release the game as soon as possible before too much gets revealed. I made that mistake with Brawl, knowing who all the characters were going to be before just seeing them get revealed through the story mode. That excitement would have been far greater than reading a list on a screen.

There is nothing better than having WARNING: CHALLENGER APPROACHING and a silhouette flash up on your screen and have no idea how it happened or who it is.

If new info isn't released frequently there really wouldn't be much too discuss about. It would get really boring to discuss the same thing over and over. If you consider these simple pics of the day as spoilers, then a forum like this isn't the safest place to be.

How would a constant stream of new information lead to "discussing the same thing over and over"?

Heck, right now we often end up discussing the same thing over and over. Every time Pyrosphere gets shown, we get a new round of "is Ridley a stage hazard" discussion.

I don't think you understood what I was trying to say.

@DestinyMan: Perhaps because of the Subspace Emissary's cutscenes being spoiled, Sakurai's going to try his best to show little to no details on the Adventure mode. Just a guess, but I'd say he'd want to prevent such things this time around, even with no cutscenes. Of course, if the games release in Japan first like Brawl did, there's no stopping people from posting things to Youtube again. In any case, not seeing the Adventure mode beforehand would just be one more sweet surprise for when you actually play it.

Speaking of the new Adventure mode, I certainly hope it's just as good as The Subspace Emissary. Bringing back Melee's Adventure Mode style seems to be the favored opinion. If that is the case, I certainly hope improvements are made. Melee's Adventure felt more like 2 or 3 good levels, and then a whole bunch of normal everyday battles for most of it. Honestly, not too much "adventuring" going on in comparison to SSE.

Well obviously lol, but you have some weird ideas about what spoilers are. I never said it spoiled the game. Obviously I am overreacting when I say that I would know the game inside out. But I generally want to feel surprised when playing a game. Yes, I did enjoy video games better when I was young and knew less to nothing about the game.

@DestinyMan - Yeah. I've imagined for a while now that it would be cool if Adventure Mode consisted of the player character going through several different Nintendo worlds to help out. Help Mario take on Bowser then go to Ylisse to join Chrom's army and defeat Risen, etc. etc. The interactions, and maybe the order of the stages, would change depending on who the player is.

Pit slashing through Bulborbs, Donkey Kong punching Pigmasks in the face, Pikachu using Thunderbolt on Waddle Dees...

The possibilities man!

Most of the original enemies in the Subspace Emissary act like Kirby enemies,Even Tabuu,he has the same attack as Marx

Yeah. At this point, I'm not sure if there will even be a "My Music" function. It might just be like Melee, where each stage has one track, and some have an alternate track.

Either way, this game is going to have a lot of cool remixes.

@DestinyMan I seriously hope that the "My Music" option will return. After all, with so much going into this game (balancing characters and whatnot), it just has to be there. Otherwise I'll be very disappointed...
