Asuron posted:I like the idea of For Glory but put more than Final Destination in. It actually does favour certain characters and putting maps like Battlefield in helps balance that out. Evidently the japanese smash tournament scene pretty exclusively plays on FD, and Nintendo loves the poo poo out of Japan, so it isn't likely to happen.

SilverSupernova posted:Then you throw in Kirby or someone else who's in the air a lot. Counterpicking isn't really a thing in random matchmaking typically, since you rarely know who someone is going to pick before the game starts and there almost certainly won't be a rematch function for random play.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:So do we know if this new one is going to have dumb poo poo like tripping? or will this be an actual game like meelee? It basically plays slightly slower than Melee sans wavedashing/etc (who knows what hidden mechanics this one will have though), and attacks are doing closer to Melee levels of hitstun so combos are a thing again. I haven't seen anyone airdash at all in any video so who knows if it's using Melee or Brawl style stuff. Basically it looks like a more newbie friendly melee, and I'm completely ok with that (as long as there's at least one good heavyweight character)

Sire Oblivion posted:Dodge bullets? What? No, it's 5 minutes of Metroid and then a battle with the boosted stats. I think he's referring to the part where each person gets simultaneous events like "kill bullet bills", but yeah that happens within the 5 minute time span, each isn't a unique event. It's basically a 5 minute dungeon crawl and then a fight.

That's kinda silly, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 put in a mode specifically designed to be busted and stupid (the card mode, whatever it was called), and USF4 announced an "Edition Select" mode where you can use all the unbalanced characters from each version against each other. Neither are designed for tournament or competitive play, and this is no different.

Bobnumerotres posted: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. That's more increasing the breadth of matchups, not their depth. Which is really a completely different thing and not inherently good either. I talked about this a bit in the last thread toward the end, but basically one of the most fun things about playing fighting games competitively (by which I mean aiming to win/improve, not literally tournament-level play) is learning matchups and using that knowledge on other people, but if there's too many characters then you can't viably learn all of the matchups, or even the basics of them if the character is rare enough. When every Mario can feasibly be one of a dozen different Mario "builds" then each of them is effectively a different character, to varying degrees. Worse yet, there's a good chance you'd have to learn on the fly and no rematch feature (since random matchmaking rarely has that and lol nintendo online) means each game would just be about trying to outgimmick your opponent since you couldn't really know anything going into the game. This also actually punishes casual/new players more than competitive ones since they presumably play the game less and probably aren't putting the effort into system mastery. And speaking as a competitive-style player, that sucks.

Heatwizard posted:I play deckbuilding card games, and the tournament scenes around those don't collapse into quivering piles of goo over the idea of sideboards; it's part of the game to be ready for your opponent bringing out a card designed to hate you, and to hate right back. If it's cumbersome to actually change your moveset around, I can see them insisting on default only, but being able to tune for the fight you're in has been done well before. It doesn't matter that you can't rematch in random matchmaking because alternate movesets are disabled for those. Card games aren't remotely comparable, since you have an entire 20+ minute match to adjust and notice patterns. MOBAs are in the same boat. A fighting game match is over in 60-90 seconds in real time. It isn't literally impossible to adjust, but I dunno, I think you'd struggle to find many people who play competitively who think that sort of thing is good for a game's long term growth versus short term gimmick value.

Trasson posted:I don't see the issue. He's basically an opposite form of Jigglypuff. Where Jigglypuff is amazing in the air and practically unkillable once she can start to recover, but on the flipside has no ground game beyond "knock something into the air", Little Mac has amazing play on the ground, is nearly unkillable there with superarmor and dodge frames...but get him into the air and he's a wet paper bag with worse recovery than Melee Ganondorf. That's not really gimmicky, no more so than other Smash characters. Ehhhh that's not really a fair comparison. I say this as someone who is definitely going to be putting Little Mac through is paces (He looks like P:M bowser!!!), but: a) Jigglypuff's air game basically functioned as a ground game too since you can just short hop and "float" while poking with back airs and other moves against grounded/shielding enemies, and her throws weren't terrible. Little Mac can't transform his ground game into an air game in the same way. b) Super armor doesn't make you nearly unkillable (trust me :<), especially since odds are he'll have little if no hyper armor (super armor with unlimited hit-soak). You can throw someone out of armored moves, and they're generally unsafe on block too. This probably sounds like ~*~high end comp stuff~*~ but it's actually really obvious when someone does an unsafe straight into your shield. As for dodging, any Dudley player can tell you that it just isn't something you can do all the time.

1) There isn't any other fighting game that's remotely as good as smash that plays like it. 2) I own a Wii U because I wanted to play MH3U online. Are you just frustrated that I recognize that not everyone has the luxury of buying a console because they want 1-2 games for it, or what? Like, I loving love smash, it's a blast to play. No other game is like it. Why are my purchasing habits an issue for you?

I dunno, I think the game is plenty fun just to play, I don't need rewards for doing it. I've put approximately a bajillion infinity hours into smash across melee, brawl, and P:M, and I think outside of beating mewtwo when I was 14 I don't really think I've ever cared about unlocking characters outside of the inconvenience of having to do it. I like the middle ground of them being locked on the 3DS (though they really shouldn't lock anyone they announce since then it's just a boring grind) and then having them all available on the Wii U though, both because everyone would know the roster by then and because the Wii U will be the "party" console where it's more important to be able to just slap the disk in and go.

I am Reverend posted:Lucas' magnet in Project M is so amazing. It's like Mario's cape combined with Wolf's shine and you can do that weird physics exploit where you use it after shooting a PK Freeze and you fly through the air lookin' like a wizard or some poo poo. Now I'm disappointed that in Smash 4 he's either going to be boring and awful or non-existent. Flying around as Lucas and Dedede is basically the most fun you can have in a Smash game short of accidentally spiking someone with a Game and Watch down throw.
