RedShell Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Todays picture of the day The visuals in this game look fantastic, but I reckon there's something extra impressive about the Villager's appearance in HD. Can't quite work out why, but to me he almost looks like a real-life figurine. It could just be because I'm so used to seeing lo-res visual villager in the AC games though.
-Dem0- Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I hope Link is better in this game, he was practically unusable for me in Brawl.
markderoos Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I hope Link is better in this game, he was practically unusable for me in Brawl. Link is very useful against movespamming noobs playing Kirby or Pikachu. I'm still playing Smash Brawl everyday at the office during lunchbreaks. Game & Watch, Lucas or DeeDeeDee are my mains while back when it just launched I mained Pit or Kirby. Strange how that changed...
-Dem0- Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) My mains were MetaKnight (got bored and too many people used him) & Ike at the start. Then it changed to Snake but I use quite a few characters including PT, Wario, Falco, Captain Falcon and Toon Link. I haven't played this in a while. Wii finally broke and so too did my Brawl disc a few months ago. Time to buy another. NintendoWorldReport: "One more question here. Sonic was very popular in Smash Bros. for Wii. Is there any possibility of him making a return appearance in the next Smash Bros.?" Takashi Iizuka: "All we can say is that we also think it would be awesome if he was in the next Smash Bros. So yea, but that's more of a question for Nintendo than us." Edited June 25, 2013 by -Dem0-
Rummy Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 This comes from an interview on Gamespot. I've pasted the interview and italiced the quotes so as to avoid anybody else needing to give them any traffic. I trust nobody has a problem with this. This is why I think Sakurai's so good and makes great games. I have no worries for the Smash series, though I will personally miss tripping myself - I like that random element of messing up. As long as it has random character selection again too, I'll be all over it right from the beginning.
-Dem0- Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I will personally miss tripping myself - I like that random element of messing up. First time I've heard that. I'm really happy to see this taken out and so does Captain Falcon.
Jonnas Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Always hated tripping. It's just bad game feel when the character doesn't do what you want them to do for no reason, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Randomness is good and all, but only as long as you can react to it.
D_prOdigy Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Sakurai seems to be wanting to turn 'shot of character in mid-air jump' into some sort of meme. I won't miss tripping, but I didn't get why people actively hated it. It's a party game, ffs. Maybe it's related to finding the hardcore Smash community really... really creepy.
-Dem0- Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Sakurai seems to be wanting to turn 'shot of character in mid-air jump' into some sort of meme. Nah, it just looks cool. Especially when the stage starts moving to another location and you get those amazing shots.

Yeah, was going to post he seems to do a lot of aerial shots. More dramatic? Competitive players ruining everything. No one complains about tripping in Animal Crossing. :p I didn't mind it, adds to the randomness. Won't really miss it either though.
f00had Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 First time I've heard that. I'm really happy to see this taken out and so does Captain Falcon. But this is why tripping is great
dazzybee Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I don't get the video, he kneed him... where was the trip?
-Dem0- Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Snake tried to run in other direction from Captain Falcon. He immediately tripped and got Kneed. Watch from the 5 second mark.
Rummy Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I just think tripping's great because you think you've got this awesome thing lined up and then...you faceplant. Proper lols. Especially if you're mocking someone that you're about to destroy only...you tripped on the way. It's a mild reflection of reality too mind, nothing's always perfect. I think it just fits really well into a game like smash.
Jonnas Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I won't miss tripping, but I didn't get why people actively hated it. It's a party game, ffs. Maybe it's related to finding the hardcore Smash community really... really creepy. Well, all I do in Smash is play some casual matches with a friend. We randomise everything, add 2 CPUs and duke it out to see who wins more often with the setups we're given (only eliminating what is unfun, like Healing items, New Pork City or 75m). So many times has the winner been decided by an untimely trip. Just drains all the fun from an otherwise exciting match. We can control everything that's random except that. It's like back in Melee, where crates and capsules would always exist, and made Pokéball matches impossible, but that was only bothersome in a specific circumstance, not all the time. So yeah, I hate it because it ruins perfectly good, casual smash sessions.
Fused King Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Tripping was a bit of ol' fun, but I've heard of people who'd miss out on money in tournaments because of that stuff. Sakurai should give people the OPTIONS to add or take away stuff, that way the competitive great can have their cake and we can have ours
Ville Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I think they should replace tripping with random heart attacks. Now that would be fun.
D_prOdigy Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I think they should replace tripping with random heart attacks. Now that would be fun. I imagine your average Smash Bros. player runs this risk as standard. Allow.
Wii Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I think they should replace tripping with random heart attacks. Now that would be fun. I think they should replace tripping with random liquid ass attacks. Now that would be explosive.
