gently caress am I even going to buy this game? Jesus christ.

You can use it online with friends, too. You just can't use it in random online.

Why even put in the feature if they couldn't balance around it at all? It's just kind of ridiculous.

It's not even a matter of balance, it's a matter of beign able to go online and be reasonably sure what each character is capable of.

It's a neat g oofy thing you can do, not something the game is built around.

Well, yeah I suppose I didn't see it that way. It's just something that could increase the depth of the match-ups 100-fold but if it's just something to dick around with that's fine.

You can't even see who you're up against before you pick a character in random online. How would it 'increase depth of the match-ups?' You can't specifically set your moves a certain way to counter a specific character because you don't know who you're gonna be up against. The only times it can increase the depth of the match-ups is when you know who you're gonna be up against. IE: Offline or online with friends. IE: where you can already use it.

Being able to use it in random online would just be a complete crapshoot.

When sakurai first mentioned transferring between the two versions, we all thought he meant costumes or Mii designs or some poo poo. I don't think anyone actually thought he'd allow us access to characters' movesets.

This is the sort of thing he meant, we'll be able to poke around with our favorite character's moves and then upload those to the Wii U version when it comes it and start impressing all your friends by how much better you made Marth or Link or Samus.

God and I thought I couldn't want this game more than Brawl.

He never said the move customization thing would be a transfer thing, though?

But what would he do? He has no unique characteristics whatsoever. Give me your pitch, man.

Sports/Mario Kart based moves. Peach only has one move that uses that (her forward smash) and he could also incorporate mario party mechanics. His up B could be like a jumping version of Game and Watch's Side B, where he jumps up, hits a block, and gets various effects based on the number he rolled.

I challenge any of the Waluigi fans to name anything he has ever done in an actual game. No, taunts, victory poses and the like don't count because Wario or another character could do them and nothing would be lost. Name something, anything, that Waluigi has actually done.

can the next thread be named "shut the gently caress up about waluigi," tia*

So the mons we have currently revealed are Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, and Greninja, and Jigglypuff brings us to five. What do you think the odds are that Mewtwo makes six, six being the "magic number" that was the amount of playable mons in Brawl? Or is it more likely they'll try to tone 'mon representation down a little?

[sub]*could probably equally apply to mewtwo and ridley but oh well

Pokemon is one of, if not the, biggest franchise they have. They'd probably make the entire game pokemon if they thought they could get away with it.

The original creator of Earthbound doesn't want to make any more games. I don't see how respecting that wish is 'willing to let it die.' I'm sure they'd be happy to produce another game, but if the main driving force behind it isn't up for it, then churning a fourth entry into an only moderately popular series out would be pointless.

Why would anyone assume that these would be playable characters? If anything, these characters seem more likely to show up as specific stage bosses similar to how the Yellow Devil makes an appearance in the Mega Man stage.

Is that an XL or a normal one? Because if you're getting a 3DS at this point, you might as well get an XL unless you're super tight on money.

I could buy Palutena, but Chrom as a stage-hazard would be super weird. Since the FE stage is Ferox, it'd make much more sense for Basilio and Flavia to do that.

It seems weird to imagine someone who can't resist the siren call of Smash Bros but can't find a single other game in the Wii U's library that they want to play, small though it is.

They don't like Pikmin, got burnt out on New Super Mario Brothers, and don't like Platinum Games that much, heard Sonic: Lost World was mediocre, and don't like Zelda that much.

Like I own a Wii U because I'm first world problems personified but it's been literally collecting dust for four months. There's stuff coming out for it that I want but there's literally nothing out now that I have any interest in.

I love a lot of Nintendo series, and how the game plays? Like I even love Mario, I'm just more a fan of the RPGs and the various spin-offs than I am the actual platformers.

poo poo, even if I hated every other Nintendo series, I'd buy it just for the FE characters.

I know the first Rumble Arena had HP. Only played the second one once and I remember it having some hybrid system.

It had HP, but reducing everyone's HP wasn't how you won, you got points by scoring kills and whoever had the most at the end won. Think Deathmatch in an FPS.

While I wholeheartedly agree on how awful Playstation All Stars is, hearing about Megabyte Punch being bad is new to me. Especially considering that I was mildly interested in it pre release. Any reason why it's terrible?

I like getting rewards but for travel and and tournament stuff they probably should include a code that unlocks everything. I like getting stages and characters for playing. It's fun for me and part of what sets Smash apart from what feels like pointless grind in other fighting games.
