That really isn't helping their case. It demonstrates a lack of resource management, honestly.

You do realize that this is a 3DS game right
Like not even the Wii U version. This is a handheld title.

I could understand taking the brawl base and upscaling it for the Wii U but saying that it's a "lack of resource management" for them to do things differently on a handheld that is less powerful than the original Wii even is kind of ridiculous.

How can you compare that the change isn't the same as Melee and Brawl when you don't have the game and every report everywhere is saying that this game is definitely not Brawl. It looks very very different. Seriously you should watch some new gameplay and look at Brawl and you'll see it doesn't even look to have the same feel. Just look at freakin Mr. Game & Watch. All you're doing is assuming and assuming a lot.

I won't even fully address the tattoo comment because what the fuck.

EDIT: Ahahahaha I see you gave me a neg rep again because I disagree with the points you come up. Maturity!

Rebuilding models isn't the same as rebuilding the game. I agree with you that animations and visuals are all redone, and are (mostly) superior, and quite stunning.

But models are really only a small part of what goes into building a character. When you talk about restructuring a character from the ground up, you're talking about sitting infront of a blank document and writing out millions of lines of code to do things that have already been done with the same programming language, by you, seven years ago.

And while it doesn't look to play exactly like Brawl (and remember, gameplay is the time consuming, money consuming portion of actually making a game) it does play like something that could have been built off of what already existed. Again, based on what I have watched and what has been said.

Edit: ahaha, that neg rep is from a couple years of watching how you participate on the forum and how you argue with people. You're genuinely an asshole. I mean, you can't find anything more to support your argument other than saying: "You're wrong, you're just mad because your favorite character didn't get in, and look at that signature!"

I mean, you really don't trust your argument to stand without personal attacks and bias? Well, I guess you shouldn't.

Developers have been making direct ports of their games available for both the Wii and the handheld since the DS.

uh
NSMB debuted on the DS
was up-ported for a sequel to the wii (and then another on the 3ds) and then again on the wii u

you're talking going from a low poered ds game to higher powered systems when the subject at hand is going from brawl (on a more powerful system) to a 3ds version on a less powerful system

I'm not saying it can't handle the engine or whatever but obviously the 3DS can't just straight up run brawl (wheras the Wii/3DS/U can easily run NSMB) so I'm not sure what your point is

See, all of your frustration is coming from you just not hearing what I'm saying.

I'm not saying I wanted them to take the easy way out. I'm saying that if they spent all that energy to create something that could have been created by going the easy way, then they should have. If they spent all that energy and created something that is actually different, something that does not feel like what came before it, then they didn't waste the energy at all. Then they started from a blank slate and it was worth it.

You're still hitting the "It's still Brawl'' note and I really don't understand. Maybe we should back off from this until we actually have the game, because your reports say one thing and mine say another. If what I'm reading is to be believed this game is not Melee but is potentially more fun and it seems to feel really different from any other Smash and honestly that's what I'm getting seeing all these streams and videos.

Also remember that this game runs in 60FPS, while Brawl was 30. they had to remake eveyrthing so frames wouldn't be missed or weird
