Super Smash Bros.

[Genosync]

About 13$

So a full collection, with the current known list of characters including Mewtwo, would be $637 plus tax unless you get it somewhere online for tax free (so mad I'm paying tax on Amazon now...).

Nintendo is way late to the Skylanders party but they'll cash in all the same.

Aaaaand what's the point of the amiibos again?

I still need to watch the direct, but afaik right now it stores a custom character build (equipment, moves, and probably Smash Run power selection too) so you can bring it with you and use it even on a WiiU where it's not unlocked. Probably works with N3DS too after a game update but I need to watch the stupid video.

Yes, it does work with the new 3DS. I remember it from a reveal video for the new 3DS.

I'm kinda annoyed about the need to own both WiiU and 3DS versions to get Mewtwo simply because I don't own a WiiU and hadn't planned on buying one. All it means, really, is that I'll have to play with a friend's WiiU and won't own him.

My birthday is Dec 2; my friends and I are already planning a smashfest for that weekend. 8 players is going to be completely ridiculous.

[Corrderio]

Anyone got some highlights of the video? So far all I know of is

-Mewtwo confirmed if you buy WiiU/3DS versions
-8 man matches (Holy crap....)

That 8 man is going to be beyond chaotic though... I love it. Hell the WiiU version could possibly top Melee as my favorite entry.

The announcement says he's free if you own both, not that you need to own both. I think it's a pretty safe bet it'll just be regular paid DLC otherwise.

Hadn't even thought about that to be honest. Either way, annoyed yeah, but it's really not a big deal to me.

If DLC costs are a concern I wouldn't be too worried. Surprisingly even though Nintendo is new to the DLC game the few games that have had it so far have been bargain deals. Mario Kart DLC was I think like 8 dollars for each pack and each pack contains 8 whole tracks, 3 characters, 4 vehicles and if you bundle them together it's only 12 dollars so basically 25% off. Same with Hyrule Warriors, $20 for a bundle that gets you 4(?) DLC packs and each DLC pack has the content worthy of a stand alone $20 pack from other developers. Granted having to pay for a character in Smash feels kind of wrong but if it means we'll see some other people who got left on the cutting room floor I'll gladly give Sakurai my money.

[Meian]

Considering Mewtwo (and if future DLC) aren't done and they are taking their time to still do them I assume it is fine for it to be paid DLC, it was a surprise it would be free for owning both so I am not bothered myself.

Loved how the announcer was the one talking during the video

That Bowser Jr. reveal video was pretty amazing at the end with the Koopalings even though we already far knew about him and them. A shame it wasn't revealed before JP release/leaks. Some 8 way Bowser Jr. + Koopalings fighting!

Spoiler: show

Hype all over again with the Wii U version haha, a shame Smash Run isn't in it...

[Voyage1970]

Yeah Smash Tour doesn't have the appeal to me that Smash Run does. Smash Run just feels more active and exciting.

To make Nintendo Gamefreak levels of cash.

Omg.. gonna need some 8 person Bowser Jr. fights the day this game comes out -- I don't care what type of character he is!

He's pretty fun with his shenanigans stuff he can do with the copter like the boxing gloves, canons, wrecking ball, mechakoopa, etc. Some zoning with his mechakoopa/canons with the cart to zoom in on to combo into neutral/wrecking ball. Should be more chaotic with all 8 using mechakoopas at once.

Using the car as an explosive is hilarious, and the hammer when you're outside of the car actually has some decent KB at high%s (kinda like Sheik fair's scaling).

Wish I was still young and partying and stuff; 8 person Smash would make the drinking games even more hilarious. Quarter buy-in ransoms too.

I think it's a mistake to not implement the possibility of 8 player for online play between 4 WiiUs with two people per WiiU (this is basic Mario Kart Wii stuff right here). I'm guessing that to keep the games synchronized, the data that's being sent between systems are the controller inputs/actions of each player, and the size of the frames (Ethernet frames, not visual) probably wouldn't be any bigger including one additional player's inputs... They're probably minimum size already.

Just for reference, that's how online play works with Brawl--it sends the inputs/moves, which is why if someone is using a custom character replacement (not texture, but moves and hurtbox and stuff) but another is not, the game will still continue but be completely desynchronized... And normally you'll end up seeing the other person whiff at mid air constantly or run offstage and die etc. Given the examples of delay and input lag I've seen in Smash4 3DS, I'm like 99% sure it's exactly the same.

Implementing the 8 player mode that way woulda been easy. Gj Sakurai.

I still gotta watch the rest of the video. On a 3hr trip so I guess I'll go do that now.

Oh, if anyone wants to do an Iron Man with me sometime on 3DS, on like a weekend or something, let me know. (X number of characters, stocks carry over between matches, can only use each char once, you lose when you run out of chars) 48char Iron Man would be nuts, ha... But would take like 4 hours at minimum so looking more at maybe a Random 15char or something.

KK, tired of playing strangers, someone add me

1:02 = best kill in smash 4

[Genosync]

1:02 = best kill in smash 4

That is probably the most glorious kill I've seen in any Smash game.

[Elcura]

1:02 = best kill in smash 4

Holy shit WHAT

[Genosync]

I mean, I've done some crazy stuff already that I've been saving replays of, but I don't have anything that amazing from any of my 3DS replays, my 4000+ Brawl replays, or my PM replays. And I've got some pretty sick stuff.

That kill alone is better than Wombo Combo in my book. Just to realize the exact amount of distance necessary, using down-b to get out there, is crazy. I mean, yeah, the sweet spot for the knee got extended, but who cares? Better than Sacred combo.
