Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS Discussion

[SonicMario]

I guess it is fair to say that most people are happy he's in because they can finally get revenge for his laughing whenever you failed in Duck Hunt in an official game (Other then those fanmade flash remakes that I've seen where you can shoot the dog) after all these years. xP

Though we also gotta see how his moveset's going to be. (It'd be so funny though if Duck Hunt Dog ended up being a solid character in tourneys)

 

[SiFi]

But you can already officially shoot him in VS. Duck Hunt and Barker Bill's Trick Shooting.

 

[Shyghoul]

So including him feels like forcing "it's over 9000" into every Dragon Ball game.

I would ask you how is putting a character into one game the equivalent of putting a joke in every single game of a franchise

buuuuuut I just remembered that you're Sifi and as such attempting to reason with you is more-or-less pointless

Duck Hunt Dog and Dark Pit confirmed for top tier

If Dark Pit was top tier Pit would be too.

I didn't even know that so I looked it up.

There's still a difference. In those, you're NOT SUPPOSED to shoot the dog. As shooting the dog in Duck Hunt Vs. ends the Bonus Round (And it's only possible in the Bonus Round). And in Barker Bill, the goal is to shoot balloons without hitting the dog.

In Smash 4 it will be different. People who dislike him have the satisfaction of actually winning when they beat the Duck Hunt Dog :P

Because jokes about the dog are on the same level as over 9000 jokes and other decade old memes

And of course they included him because of the meme because that's the only reason anyone remembers him

I remember playing Duck Hunt, and I don't remember it just for the dog.

 

[DragonFreak]

I remember it so much because it was as boring as heck compared to the original SMB.

 

[Lumastar]

I actually enjoyed it. It was simple, but I had a good time with it.

Unfortunately, the fact that familiar stages will appear in Classic Mode indicates that some franchises may not be getting new stages.

 

[SiFi]

Good for you but if you'd google searched "duck hunt dog" before the leak you'd have gotten pages and pages of the same "I wish I could shoot the dog" jokes because that's what the majority remembers and that's what the majority is thinking when they request for him to be in the game. Nintendo granting that request feels like total pandering, like they're saying "haha yes we're in on your decades-old joke too that makes us 'hip' right"

Quickly found a picture for myself and come on Nintendo that is scraping the bottom of the barrel

Eh, he does represent something of Nintendo history. Even if it's just the accessory the NES Zapper. xP

I honestly think Dark Pit is more so the bottom of the barrel. But ya know.

Now nowmaybe Dark Pit will be unique.

Considering he's placed next to Lucina (Confirmed Marth clone) and Dr. Mario (Don't even need to explain that one). I don't think so.

It's fine that you're upset with DHD's inclusion. Myself, I just think it's one of those out-of-nowhere Retro characters Sakurai almost always pulls out. I personally think the Duck Hunt Dog has more business being in here then the Ice Climbers did back in Melee's development for at least one reason (And don't get me wrong, I'm fine with the Ice Climbers as well). Albeit ROB still earned it more.

 

[ernesth100]

I still want Tetris and Q Bert.

Duck Hunt Dog and Dark Pit confirmed for top tier

If Dark Pit was top tier Pit would be too.

Clones can often be much higher or lower than their counterpart.

In Melee, Doc is much better than Mario and Pichu is much worse than Pikachu,

Also, Dark Pit's artwork seems to be showing him wielding his staff. He may have a few unique moves, maybe even some of Pit's old brawl moveset.

How does it seem to show him holding his staff?

I dunno.

I just noticed that All-Star Mode will be from newest to oldest. Looks like Mr. Game & Watch will be the final character again.

Wrong.

The picture clearly shows the player has already defeated Pac-Man, Mario, Donkey Kong, etc.

G&W will be the first beside Pac-Man.

*facepalm*

Thanks for the reminder.

So...any thing worth discussing?

 

[YuruNex]

Pic of the day. Until now, you were only able to choose from four, or sometimes five or six colors for each character. This time, though, all characters have eight colors to choose from! The first four color schemes for Samus are based off her Varia Suit, Fusion Suit, Gravity Suit from Super Metroid, and the Dark Suit.

…And here she is in the color schemes of the Gravity Suit from Metroid Prime, Green Samus (a regular in the Smash series), the Light Suit, and Dark Samus. A total of eight colors.

You can choose between four male and four female Villagers to play with. The designs for their faces and clothes are different. And here are the four Villagers we haven't shown you yet.

It's something, I guess,

 

[Crackin355]

Sooooo, ninka leak also confirmed?

Koopaling alts for bowser jr incoming.

 

[Nathan Fielder]
