When you think about it, Wario Land 3 basically is Wario: Other M. He inexplicably can't use his abilities until you find random treasure chests, while in the previous game you start with all of them. What I'm saying is there's precedent for this.

The entirety of Metroid: Other M is about as good as WL3's lovely golf minigame

I do hope the single player modes in both versions get a fair amount of depth, given the lack of Adventure Mode :(. But I don't expect any non-original, non-playable characters to appear.

I think all we know is that SSE won't come back, and thank god for that. There's nothing to suggest there can't be an adventure mode like Melee's

Soul Calibur has characters like that, separate to the random button. Stuff like Charade in 2 and Olcadan in 3, every round you'd get given a different character's weapon.

I very much doubt that's what's happening here, and I'm pretty sure that's a hoax, but even if it wasn't I can only imagine that such a character would be ridiculously difficult to make in Smash. In Soul Calibur everyone is around the same size and shape, and the fact they're using the same weapon model probably allows for a more consistent method. With Smash you'd have to create a single character that can feasibly fight like Bowser, Pikachu, Link and Kirby.

EDIT:Why yes, I do take that to mean we should turn the Fighting Polygons into a real character for this purpose.

I remember thinking when Brawl was in the works that Ditto would be a cool gimmick fighter - he could just transform into a pink gelatinous version of a random character.

Plus Rosalina makes for an interesting Smash character what with Luma and all. The dual-character gimmick probably helped her chances

It's still possible that they'll tweak the physics based on what the competitors told them afterward. And if not, I'm sure some enterprising people can make Smash 4's answer to Project M

John Lee posted:

There ARE plenty of combos in Smash, they just involve the kind where you jump after your opponent, going off the platform for the chase, etc. Not just "punch, punch, down smash, throw back, down smash again." And you don't know exactly where that's going to take you, or how things'll end up, and I think that might me part of what the more competitively minded players don't like.

I think the beef that competitive players have with this, though, is that the mechanics are such that two very good players who are playing to win will play more defensively than offensively. If you can't do attack combos and dodging is really easy and effective, you'll end up with a game with a lot of hit-and-run strategies instead of beating each other up relentlessly - and I think I'm not alone when I say the latter is more exciting.

Canine Blues Arooo posted:

This is by in large the major complaint about Brawl and some Brawl derivatives. In most situations, being aggressive was to your advantage in Melee. That really wasn't always the case in Brawl. I really liked the free-style nature of the combos in Melee and the people who could string more and more together were at a significant advantage. I'm hoping that returns in SSB4, but while it's hard to tell without actually playing it, it looks like a slower game than melee, for better or worse.

People have been saying so far that SSB4's hitstun is negligible and that there's as-yet-uncancelable lag after certain attacks and throws. But yeah, it's two days out from the first showing so I think it's premature to cry doom and gloom.

Sakurai put three space animals with laser guns in the last game, there's no reason he won't put three anime dudes with swords in this game

The announcement has been delayed, ZeRo seems like he's really hyped about it and that he thinks it'll be "extremely" worth the wait, however long that may be.

If it's something he's this pumped about and it'll "change the metagame," I imagine it's some mechanics-related thing that competitive-oriented people will like. Cool.

G&W is probably unlockable like he has been in Melee and Brawl, so they don't want to officially announce him

This hasn't really stopped them from showing off other characters who have been unlockable in the past though (Luigi, Falcon, Marth, Lucario)

There's no way they'd axe G&W but it's super weird to me that they haven't given him a page yet.

It could be that those guys aren't unlockable this time, but G-dub still is

None of the games past SF64 have really given me what I wanted but Adventures is the only one that's bad, really. Starfox has done a lot better than Yoshi, thankfully.

I didn't mind it, but I had to remind myself that it was basically a Zelda game instead of a Starfox game. They should have just left it as "Dinosaur Planet" because the actual Starfox parts are really forced
