Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS Discussion

[SonicMario]

Does anyone know which one is Sonic's Spin Dash (side special) and which one is his Spin Charge (down special)? I legitimately have no clue.

That's kinda part of how Sonic fights. If the person fighting Sonic can't recognize the difference, then the person playing as Sonic can mess with their minds. Mind games & Mix-ups is a huge part of Sonic's fighting style. Sonic's moveset is actually a little underrated IMO, it's just because in Brawl he wasn't that good comparably with the other fighters (Though I still played the heck out of him because he's Sonic. I didn't give a damn he was probably in the lower half of viability) and in Smash 4 he got a proper buff that made him far more viable.

I frankly like how it is now even compared to the moveset Project M gave Sonic where they did change him up a little bit (Side-B is now a small spin hop that can be followed by a kick if you press A after using it). The only thing I'd say I like more about Project M Sonic is he has an easier and/or safer time Spiking opponents (F-Air) compared to Smash 4 Sonic's Spike (D-Air)

 

[Crypt Raider]

Small nitpick, but it's a meteor smash in Project M, not a spike. It can be cancelled.

I'm not much of a fan of the repeated poke playstyle Sonic encourages, but to each his own. I enjoy his Falcon-esque playstyle in Project M of punish into hard combo, but then again, Falcon is kinda degenerate in 4 as well.

As a Sonic main, I would use spin charge if i'm from distance and know they will be open so I can build it up. I would use spin dash as more of a defensive move to stop dangerous attacks and then try to build up my own combos.

So I just realized while checking through My Music, that they CUT CHECKER KNIGHTS. That was like the best song on Halberd.

EDIT: Hopefully it's unlockable

 

[Ray Trace]

Nope, they ----ing cut it

Before you cry fake, people at SmashBoards have confirmed that this is indeed the guy behind the ESRB leak back from last august. It could still be fake, so take it with a grain of salt. If this has some truth to it, things are looking good for K. Rool.

 

[Ray Trace]

Leaks are fake unless proved otherwise

My hype level is exactly the same as before: zero

 

[Glitchy Bowser Jr.]

I'm not believing it. Not even if it's the same guy behind the ESRB leak. Either way, how does an ESRB employee get Nintendo's DLC information?

 

[YuruNex]

I'm personally not trusting it. We don't need even more Mario characters, especially two of them. Chibi Robo seens a tad obscure to me, but it didn't stop Ice Climbers or Duck Hunt. K Rool would be splendid though.

 

[Stargazing]

No. Don't believe it.

 

[Icemario]

Didn't look at the link but that's mainly because I don't even care.

 

[Nysic]

i swear to god if waluigi gets in before toad i'm going to punch a hole through my computer

 

[GalacticPetey]

I personally don't think it's that legit either, but I'm keeping an open mind.

10% chance it's real. 90% it's not.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Assuming that's true, yes, I want to do this too.

I highly doubt that it's real.

 

[NSY]

Sources have claimed the leaker was fired and sued by Nintendo back when it first happened, so if that's ture it's fake.

 

[Stargazing]

also no assist trophies and characters have existed at once

 

[GalacticPetey]

PushDustin of Source Gaming is saying that people shouldn't listen to this. He's trustworthy.

also no assist trophies and characters have existed at once

Need I remind you that everyone thought Mewtwo and Lucas couldn't be added because they already had standard trophies.

Assist trophies are a little different, but just because it hasn't happened before doesn't make it impossible. This is the first game with DLC so we have no idea what kind of rules are in play. Conventions may be broken.

well those aren't really assist trophies, besides every mario character has like 50 trophies anyways

yeah i know, but it would be kind of awkward

 

[GalacticPetey]

They could do any number of things. Remove the assist trophies all together, disable them when that specific character is playing, or just have them show up together. Since the background Dedede on Dream Land 64 disappears when he's in play, Option 2 may be the likely one.

yeah fair enough

i swear to god if waluigi gets in before toad i'm going to punch a hole through my computer

but then what will happen to peach's neutral special

 

[Gumball Machine]

She can get someone else for that move or get an entirely new move. Characters have had different moves before.

 

[YuruNex]

The Toad that would get into Smash would probably not be the one Peach has in her Neutral Special.

As if there isn't a billion Toads in Mushroom Kingdom.

Or, just make him Captain Toad.

You can have multiple characters at once in the screen anyway.

 

[Ray Trace]

For the whole Toad duplicate argument, is anyone seriously going to get fooled about Toad being part of Peach's neutral and being a playable fighter in the same time? I mean really, they could use two Toads who look exactly alike and there's still a significant and obvious discrepancy between the two. I don't think players are this stupid.
