Super Smash Bros. Discussion

[GlakeGG]

According to one of the more recent interviews, which was back on December before the final Smash presentation, he said how he couldn't imagine them developing a new Smash game without him, so it's a fair assumption that he won't be leaving the franchise to someone else just yet.

Since I have no class Wednesday, I'll be able to buy the Corrin and Bayonetta DLC and try them out.

Oh no, I definitely cannot see him leaving the franchise, it's his baby. But maybe they might get a new Director now that Bandai Namco in on board?

Unless the new director follows Sakurai's philosophy on fighter criteria, it's not a good idea, because we could potentially see unnecessary cuts based on "muh relevency" and adding in characters who, despite being wanted by the majority of the Smash community, may either not bring anything new to the metagame (Chrom) or incredibly unbalanced (Ridley).

Speaking of the community, talk about bad timing on creating an official tier list 2 days before Corrin and Bayonetta are out:

No way am I accepting Shulk being that, but otherise it seems alright, and will crumble in less than 24 hours.

 

[SypherAP]

Oooh boy, here we go:

Spoiler:

*eyes roll*

You know, it would feel really weird for them to announce a new smash bros on the NX. Just due to the time-frame. 4 has been out for what... less than two years?

 

[Nah]

Patch and DLC went live ~2 hours ago, jsyk.

Went and got Corrin and Bayonetta (and Dreamland 64).

 

[Kameken]

Corrin's actually pretty cool, though for all the people who defended him by saying he isn't mainly a sword fighter, the lance arm sure does act exactly like a sword 90% of the time.

Bayonetta took more getting used to than I thought, but she's really good once you get the hang of her, and her down smash spikes ridiculously easily.

Of course, I can't try either out online right now because I'm getting unreal amounts of lag for some reason, so that's fun.

 

[Cay]

I really love the new DLC, to be honest. IMO, they handle very well for my play-style. I've been having a blast playing with my friends. I'm not too competitive, so there's probably a lot I'm missing in terms to handling, though, lmao.

 

[Saintscrew7]

I have the N64 ver, and saw Melee from a friend's XL...
But...
WOW!!! It keeps getting better and better... Who will they add next?

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

I don't know how they did, but they finally fixed the Wii U's CSS:

But now it's forever going to taunt me with those empty spaces on the last three rows, indicating that we would've gotten 2-3 more DLC characters, and that's never going to happen due to Corrin and Bayonetta being the final DLC characters.

Who will they add next?

The most obvious choice is Inkling due to Splatoon's success as a new IP. Everything else depends on what will be the current trends in the future.

 

[Kameken]

It keeps getting better and better... Who will they add next?

Whichever character from Fire Emblem Fates is most popular.

 

[Mawa]

I love Corrin!
And it was the one I was least curious about.

But I feel like him Bayonetta and Cloud are overpower...

True....
We have to wait to see. *sigh*

Too many choices!!
I'm stiking whit Samus' Power Suit...

 

[Lunalie]

So I learned a neat trick with Corren.
When you use your side b, if you're quick enough and use the A button as your second imput instead of the B button you can actually jab into the ground without waiting.

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

There's a lot of complaints about Bayonetta from two sides. One side believes she's too broken due to her combos and Witch Time, while another side believes she's weak due to their landing lag and startup lag. Then there's the other side who dislike her dramatic screams whenever she gets thrown into the air.

 

[mikey]

I was able to get Corrin last night, but unfortunately couldn't get Bayonetta. I had just enough for Corrin from a leftover giftcard haha. I really like Corrin. Bayonetta looks cool from what I can see. I will get her at another time.

No more DLC :/

 

[Nah]

How viable Bayonetta is will probably depend on how well she can kill, or if Witch Time is all she needs for kill setups. She racks damage like a fiend and has a great disadvantage state. Neutral seems kind of eh but that doesn't exactly stop Meta Knight or Zero Suit Samus.

Corrin doesn't seems like anything truly special tbh. Character has a lot of good but not outstanding moves, and their mobility leaves a bit to be desired. Was hoping that Corrin'd have a least one good OoS option but it's like Robin when it comes to OoS stuff =( Don't mean to say the character is bad though, cuz they're definitely not.

but lol, day 3 impressions

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

I'm curious to know if the "beat All-Star Mode under 7(?) minutes as Shulk" challenge will now be impossible to beat due to the 7 DLC characters added onto the mode.

My mind has also been making hypothetical ideas for two more characters to fill up those empty slots in the CSS, just to please those who think the rumored NX version is going to be a port of the Wii U version:

Spoiler:

Strictly Nintendo -
Wolf & Inkling
Issac & K. Rool
Inkling & Issac
K. Rool & Wolf

1 Nintendo, 1 Third-Party -

Wild Card (Not gonna happen unless there's some partnership involved) -
Optimus Prime & Twilight Sparkle (Hasbro pack due to the Hasbro partnership in the Transformers Splatfest, and Optimus Prime has appeared in a crossover fighting game before, alongside with everyone's favorite box lover, disregarding his size)
Darth Vader & Elsa (Disney pack due to being their current cash cows, Sakurai as a Star Wars fan, and Nintendo and Bamco were involved with the My Disney Castle games before; plus, their amiibos that can be switched to Infinity toys much like DK and Bowser's Skylanders toys switched to amiibo; plus,)

I'm having a lot of fun playing as Corrin, being my first ever DLC I bought for sm4sh. (not kidding) I've been practicing offline with him so far, learning several uses of dragon lunge (setups, pinning on the walls) finding out how strong up air is actually. Nice to know that Corrin has two kill throws.

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

Players have found new techs to kill as Bayonetta without the use of Witch Time:

 

[Nah]

Figured I might as well bump the thread

Dabuz posted what he thinks Rosalina's matchup spread is:

I just like the category names really lol


Also the more time goes on the more I wonder what possessed them to give Cloud a big disjoint, good frame data, AND good mobility on top of Limit Break. Like wtf Nintendo.
