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

[Kriven]

Well happy birthday dude.

[Kosheh]

I still don't have my Club Nintendo code. ):
I assume I'm not the only one

I guess I'll just keep waitin' it out

EDIT: I turn on my Wii U and 3DS to get the update so I can play later. I get it, download a shared replay, disappointed that I didn't receive it yet.


I get up, turn off both consoles, and as I glance over to my computer (with my email up) literally as soon as I look at it, the Mewtwo email pops up



dammit time to turn the wii u BACK ON

[Mr. Jam]

My brother and I both bought the 3ds version, but we only have one copy for the Wii U. Only one of us could register the codes...
I'll get to try Mewtwo on the Wii U, but I can't on the 3ds yet.

[NICKtendo DS]

I didn't have the mail (I still don't), but my codes were on my Club Nintendo account, so yay, Mewtwo!

[Kosheh]

Thread pops up on Reddit with 3DS hacker going through the new update files


His Findings Will Shock You

The person who decrypted said items is actually working on a CFW for the 3DS sooooo I think he might be onto something.



bad news: we probably won't be getting those smash ballot characters for a while now
good news: iceman will probably mash his keyboard in this thread's reply field over the placeholder files found for characters
(one of them doesn't even make sense. spoilers, it's a third-party character, but it's not Banjo. Or Rayman. Or Snake.


Hint: it's not goku)

[Omega]

it's Bubsy wow who knew

[Koopaul]

This might be fake. I mean Shadow the Hedgehog? C'mon.

[recme]

just wait until schalternate hears about this...

[[robo9]]

Because that's what we need, another Fire Emblem character that plays like Marth

[TomGuycott]

If there is any truth to that rumor...

I DEMAND that Ryu's alternates change his model to alternate shoto characters. Ken, Akuma, Gouken, Dan, Sakura, Evil Ryu and Oni. Sure, the body styles and fighting styles differ for most of those characters, but I'm willing to forgive it if the models match closer to his body size (which is only problematic for Gouken and Oni)

Or give him a down B move like the move he had in the original Marvel vs Capcom, where his moveset changed to Ken and Akuma's, basically making his Shoryuken's fire based and giving him air Hadokens, as a quick example.

going off of that...

I'd be game for that*. I would main the fuck out of Dan Hibiki. Dunno if Sakura's body size/proportions would also cause issues in relation to Ryu, but whatevs.

As for alt movesets, why not go the simple route and just alter his Specials to those of Ken, Akuma, and Dan?

*off-topic: I had a similar thought for the event that Simon Belmont got in to a Smash game. Just make his alt costumes different Belmonts a la Bowser Jr/Koopalings: Sonia, Gabriel, Leon, Trevor, Juste, Richter, and Julius.

EDIT: oh, and DLC characters won't have customs? Gotta say, that's mildly disappointing.

[Ploaj]

Mewtwo's CSS placement on the Wii U version wouldn't bother me being at the end if it didn't completely screw up the rest of them.
Hopefully future characters will make everything work out.

[Sevenstitch]

wait. so if im reading this right, Ryu, like from Street Fighter, is a possible DLC character?


Gross


hear me out though, doesn't it seem like putting a character from an actual Fighting Game franchise in a party style mascot beat em up a little.. strange?

I mean the charm of Smash for me at least has always been that the characters in it aren't traditionally from fighting games, hell most of them don't even fit in a fighting game at first glance

This is like having Venus and Serena Williams as DLC characters for Mario Tennis, a little on the nose, doncha think?


"but Ryu is a video game character, not real, its not the same at all. He's part of Capcom's legacy and is a good choice"

nope, he is an easy  choice, not a good one. There are plenty of other mascots that fit the "fish out of water" placement style the game has had for 4 titles.


anyway, im rambling, don't mind me


TLDR: Ryu is a crap choice for DLC, imo

[Random Talking Bush]

I'm downloading the Wii U version's update data onto my computer to get Mewtwo's model and sounds, so I can verify if that's true or not.

Speaking of Capcom, Dante from DMC would be an awesome choice.
