TSR's Super Smash Bros Thread|SWITCH HYPE TRAIN NOW BOARDING

[Ton]

I don't give a shit about Corrin, but I will in like, 6 months.

[BullockDS]

Fire Emblem, six characters. Donkey Kong, two characters.

JUST

Zelda, five characters (and if you consider Toon Link as pretty much Young Link but further decloned from Link, there hasn't been a new Zelda rep since Melee).

[senjen]

love that Bayonetta's getting in, now to knab her amiibo once it's released, as well as clouds and Corrin's

also Geno now has a higher chance for smash 5 ^^

[sky_queen3]

I am a little sad Banjo-Kazooie didn't end up happening but holy crap I never thought they'd actually add Bayonetta in for the reasons a few others have covered.

I hope female Corrin's render gets uploaded eventually like the other alt costume characters have. (Then again they were from the start.)

I'm curious as to how the ballots actually looked, not that'd it change anything but it'd be interesting to see.

[Zero Kirby]

I'm SO HAPPY about Bayonetta since she's basically a combination of the two fighters I really wanted in, either Viewtiful Joe or Wonder-Red.

... And she's both at the same time, so I was jazzed as fuck when she was announced. I didn't even know I wanted it until they showed it.

[~Axis~]

So I've been testing Cloud out and he's a pretty damn good fighter. Most of his sword attacks have a bit of start-up lag, but come out almost instantly after unlike every other sword fighter. He's heavy, hits hard, kinda quick, and cool specials. His nair auto-cancels too, which also can allow for follow-ups. His recovery sucks without the boost from limit break though, but hey it beats Little Mac.

I downloaded him about an hour ago, trained for a few minutes and played for glory. Cloud punishes HARD.

About my opinions on the new DLC's, I'm lovin the Midgar stage and the music on it. I don't really care about the Mii costumes (never did like the mii fighters anyway), Corrin looks REALLY interesting. I can definitely see Corrin being used competitively. I like his overall style. I don't really care about Bayonetta but that stage is something else.

I expected something other that characters and costumes in this update but ehh... Can't say I'm not happy.

[Koopaul]

Fire Emblem, six characters. Donkey Kong, two characters.

JUST

Metroid, by technicality, only one.

Kid Icarus has three and F-Zero has only one.

Oh by the way, when I first saw the start of this Direct, I didnt get mad. I laughed. I laughed because it was a joke. Almost a parody.

I couldn't get mad because Sakurai couldn't get lower to me. He reached the bottom and couldn't get any lower. So it was just humorous watching it.

[TomGuycott]

I'm glad you posted, I needed some more salt with these fries.


Seriously though, regardless of the lack of representation in series that I like, Corrin and Bayonetta are such well-designed characters that I don't even care. Corrin barely even feels like the other Fire Emblem characters other than the fact they are Anime-faced sword wielders, downplayed by the fact the sword is like a freaking chainsaw and they can transform their body into a monster.

Bayonetta just looks insanely good with her ability to combo, and the Wicked Weaves look like they are going to be the most visually satisfying smash attacks in the entire series.

[Kosheh]

ooh I'm salty as HELL rn. I'm also in the camp that loudly asked "What the fuck is THIS shit?" when Bayonetta was revealed. Nobody saw it coming, and I'm pretty sure Sakurai also said that it was decided soon after the ballot was live (and not on October 3) which like...what's the point of the fucking ballot.


Look. All I wanted was Wolf. Fun as hell, definitely-not-space-animal-clone Wolf. I did not get Wolf. >:{


I'll twiddle my thumbs for a few months and hope Sakurai turns around, (laughs), and says "Sorry, I was under embargo as Starfox Zero was being developed (laughs), here's Wolf with his Zero design and some music from Zero on the Lylat stages. Please enjoy"

)': )': )':

[[robo9]]

Strangely enough, when I waw he had a fucking chainsaw sword I'm actually disappointed that he has the dragon part and isn't focused on his sword

While I also wish we had gotten Wolf, I would rather Wolf replace Corrin than Bayonetta since Bayonetta is actually a new rep from a new universe (and is basically the character I wanted) and not the sixth rep from a universe that was on the edge of death a couple years ago.

[Helmo]

I wanted anyone who wasn't anime...

[NICKtendo DS]

As much as I hate the idea of another FE rep, Corrin is unique enough and every FE character, except Lucina (and maybe Roy), have their reason to be part of the roster.
If there was a DLC character I'd like to trade for Wolf, it's Lucas. A Brawl character for a Brawl character. Lucas only appeared in Mother 3, a game that's still Japan exclusive, while Wolf appeared in 3 games so far and is about to make his fourth appearance.
But things are just the way they are and I for one have to accept the fact Wolf isn't coming bad, as sad as it makes me. I have to remind myself that freakin' Mega Man is in the game!

[~Axis~]

Well you all know what I wanted? Before I tell you all, let me remind you how they made tourney mode from nothing...

I wanted adventure mode. A simple one. I hate how the game just has classic mode and event mode (and smash tour...), but no adventure mode. That would have been FAR more entertaining that any extra character could be for me. I dont know how hard it would be to make it as a dlc or an update, but i can imagine that all that would be needed was to make some stages that resemble the stages already present. Even if they PORTED melee's adventure mode stages I would have been ecstatic. Its something about that mode that makes melee awesome. Even brawls subspace emissary was fun to play.

[BullockDS]

Well you all know what I wanted? Before I tell you all, let me remind you how they made tourney mode from nothing...

To be fair, tourney mode was planned for release well before it actually was released (in fact, IIRC unused announcer sound clips found in the very first version of Smash 3DS indicated this along with a Yellow Team and 8-player mode).

Besides, remember the horseshit excuse of "leakers would leak cutscenes so what's the point?".
