Posted November 19, 2018 Impressions regarding the game's single player modes are pouring out from the media now; be warned, they're not holding back on spoilers! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Reports seem really positive. I know it doesn't really matter but I find the ugly world map a real turn off for the World of Light mode. If they wanted to just use a 2D image and simulate depth, fine, but I can't get over how low resolution it is. Looks terrible. But then so does most of the Smash UI generally, Sakurai's obsession with the boxey graphics is getting really old.

Well, that only proves that Sakurai is a very supportive husband. I like the Boxy graphics. They're clear and to the point. They're better than Melee's and 64's menu.

Posted November 19, 2018 I read that you can set a difficulty level for World of Light - was that an option in the old games for the single player? I can't recall. Straight to the hardest mode for me. If I can't beat that what chance will I have fulfilling my dream as a later life eSports champion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because yes, that was an option. 5 difficulty options. If you're talking about single player modes in Smash. Then the answer is Super Yes. Ever since the first one.

They're better than Melee's and 64's menu. The higher up menus look ok I guess... better than past games like you say. Spoiler The main spirit screen on the other hand, is probably the ugliest UI I've seen in a game, well, ever. Anyway, the main point I was trying to make referred to the overworld map in World of Light. Hopefully it'll look a bit better in the final game.

That's a bit overdramatic. You ever seen Sony's Smash Bros menu attempt? It was gross. Spoiler Assist Trophy: Guile Appearing from the Street Fighter series! He crouches down and waits patiently...then delivers a Flash Kick to anybody who approaches! Don't get too close. I cracked a smile when I saw this trophy and realised that he mostly spams the same move over and over again. Let's face it, we've all fought that one person in Street Fighter. If you haven't, then that person was probably you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2018 Spoiler No Pictures today. Just some stuff about Zelda. Anyway, this week's remix is "King Bowser" from Super Mario Bros. 3. The arrangement is by the original composer, Koji Kondo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Very interesting interview with Sakurai-san over on Game Informer, during which he talks about Piranha Plant, Spirits, and 20 years of Smash Bros. I found this particularly crushing to read, though; it’s obvious some will be disappointed (and probably be very vocal about it) in some way with regards to the final roster, but all the same, it just doesn’t seem right: Quote There will be people who might feel disappointed if fighters that appeared in a previous title are not included. I didn’t want any players to feel that way, so we worked really hard to make this happen. But what I learned is that regardless of doing our utmost, no matter how hard we try, and no matter how many fighters we include, there will always be people who feel that way.

Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Spoiler PAC-LAND This is an auto-scrolling stage where the scene continuously changes. There are also a few hidden features from the original arcade version of PAC-LAND, so try to find them! Not gonna lie, it really stings that this stage made the jump to Ultimate, but not the Pac-Maze stage from 3DS. That stage was rad. I mean, this stage is fun, but it's not the one I would have chosen. Oh, BTW. Someone on ResetERA jacked my idea!

Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Right, seeing as those upstarts on ResetERA are wasting my idea with nonsense about Avocados. Here's an actual important tier list about something that doesn't really matter. I call this one... OH NO! It's Godzilla! What do you do!?

Posted November 22, 2018 What? Godzilla is a 100m, armour-plated, fire-breathing monster, what the hell is Link going to do? Or anyone in the top three tiers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obligatory Link would Shadow of the Collosus it and stab it with the Master Sword. Blade of Evil's Bane is pretty effective. Naturally, Toon Link would just jump there and shove the sword into it's brain. Worked on Ganondorf. Young Link doesn't have the Master Sword or epic gravity defying skills, so he's screwed. A well placed Falcon Punch beats anything. Everyone knows this. Bayonetta has literally punched God into the sun, so Godzilla is nothing for her. Samus/Dark Samus' suits are way past modern technology. Mewtwo has crazy Psychic powers (And Ness to a lesser extent). Meanwhile Rosalina and Shulk are literal Gods. Kirby beats everything, Godzilla is another Tuesday for him. The Fire Emblem gang fight Dragons on a daily basis. Chrom and Marth in particular have the Falchion which is made specifically to kill Fire Breathing Reptiles. Fox and Falco have the Arwings. Probably just another end-stage boss to them. Mega Man has a smorgasbord of weapons, like Samus. If Sonic has the Chaos Emeralds, he'll breeze it with Super Sonic. Ridley is the closest thing to Godzilla in the Ninty Universe, except he can fly. Cloud is from Final Fantasy. Giant Fire Breathing Dragons is the norm. Mario has literally Butt stomped a 100m tall Electric Dragon to death. Meta Knight is from the Kirby universe, so I have to imagine he's crazy strong if he can give Kirby a decent fight. (Same with Dedede if he wasn't looting) Simon and Richter have struggled their way through worse. I think that covers everyone.

This is what happened to just one poor villain that miffed Kirby. Kirby fights some proper eldtrich horrors in his games. Like planet-destroying levels of nightmares. And it's nothing to him.

Same for all the characters. If they can't do it in game, it doesn't count.Having said that, I guess a lot of the 'final smash' moves are pretty ridic.
