It's a shame because all you faggots complaining and saying you don't care about the single-player content ruined everything.

Now Sakurai can not bother putting in worthwhile single-player content because he figures no one cares, and he still won't bother to improve the multiplayer.

So you've fucked us all, faggots.

>>254977637
OK so I'm going to throw a controversial opinion into the mix here.

Why do people want combos? Sure it's nice to combo people and I'll agree that smash doesn't have dial-a-combos like traditional fighters so they take a bit more skill. But when you're getting comboed it's boring, you're just waiting around until you get your turn to do stuff again. Granted you have to try to DI in those situations but it isn't very stimulating.

>Bowser is going to go back to shit tier when his only sin was to decimate complete retards

Smash is both a party game and a fighting game. Party game is not a genre. In the same way, Mario Kart is a racing game and Guitar Hero is a rhythm/music game, and they're both party games too.

This has got me excited for Ike. He's gotta be good this time, right?

Why does every attack and grab in Smash 4 send you flying off really far even at 0%? Is this gonna be the new gimmick? Fuck.

>>254977964
Depends on character and throw. Luigi's down throw easily combos into aerials.

>>254977959

No. He'll probably be the same, maybe he'll get his jabs nerfed. Welcome to the nerf zone, along with Marth. I main Falcon and he's probably gonna be shit again, so you're not alone buddy.

>>254977964
I like this actually. Also just down throw if you want them close.

>>254977873
Combos are fun. And in smash it's less boring to be comboed because you're DI'ing and looking for tech opportunities all the time.

But like you mentioned, this is just opinions. Combos aren't objectively a good thing, just something that most people find fun.

>>254978137

The last thing he needs is nerfs. He already wasn't great, but then again Zelda's been shit forever so maybe I'm getting my hopes up too high.

Because combos are the reward for playing better than your opponent.

>>254977873


>Why do people want combos

Because combos are almost objectively hype as shit, especiallly in a game where you have to make them up on the fly like Smash because of DI. Also because it reward getting a hit and being offensive, an art that Smash has lost ever since Brawl.

It shouldn't be fun for the one getting combo'd because they fucked up and put themselves in a position to get combo'd. Every single moment of a PvP game is not going to be fun for both sides, trying to balance around that is stupid and impossible.

Without combos the game literally devolves into a pokefest and there's very little incentive to go on the offensive, which leads to a lot of camping and stalling (Which almost NO ONE finds fun) and is why Brawl is so universally hated because that ACTUALLY HAPPENED

Why is this retarded "electric boogaloo" trend a thing?

Do 99% of people even know what it means? Furthermore, is the stupid TF2 update in any way related to making threads?

Why are people so fucking stupid?

Why was momentum carrying into jumps taken out of Brawl? That has been part of video game physics fundamentals for literal decades and was included in both 64 and Melee. The dev team chose to take it out, but to what benefit? The loss of this mechanic was one of many things that contributed to the lack of offensive/approach options in Brawl, as well as something that made the gameplay unnecessarily slow.

>>254978359
Hitting your opponent is the reward.

>>254976710

64: Falcon/Falcon
Melee: Falcon/Jigglypuff
Brawl: Pokemon Trainer/Diddy Kong
4: Mega Man/Mega Man

>>254978520
It also nerfed the shit out of C. Falcon.

>>254978480
just blame Breakin' 2

>>254978359
Surely just getting the hit is that reward. Combos just make the reward bigger.
I think that the reduced reliance on combos and greater focus on aerial play in the new game is a good thing really. The idea is to get them off the stage quite early and then follow up with off-stage play, especially now that the ledgehog mechanics have changed. If you're good off stage as well as on stage then you're going to kill faster than people who just try to kill with what short combos are available from on the stage.

>>254977873
Because of the nature of how combos work in this game, a lot of them are more of an earned reward than a guaranteed reward.

The combos are usually short as well so the time spent getting comboed is not nearly as long as other traditional fighters. The action is consistent for the most part and don't break the pace of the game.

>>254977896
>m-muh reason

>>254978826

That's because of Brawl's reliance on defensive play, though, not wither of the things mentioned

Not to mention the game had a good run; people played it competitively for almost five years before it really died.

>Surely just getting the hit is that reward. Combos just make the reward bigger.
This. A heavy combo-reliant game becomes a game of "hit first, then repeat the sequence"
It's "hype" at first but gets old fast.

>>254978561
Which is a pretty insignificant reward alone in Smash.

So a character like Bowser gets zoned the fuck out by say Link, taking damage from his cornocopia of projectiles and the like, and when he finally gets in he gets one measly hit and then the situation is reset? Whereas Bowser took tens of percent in just approaching him, Link gets off nearly scot free because Bowser can't follow up because the game's mechanics are shit. This is why Combos should exist so that the reward matches the work you have to put in to be offensive.

>>254978685
See the above, also you're frigging horribly wrong because the aerial play is even worse thanks to just how much landing lag on aerials there is across the board

>>254979071
None of those are multiplayer games.

>>254979132
More like 1 and a half before the mass exodus back to Melee and P:M's birth. Brawl at tournaments now is just a game to potmonster, not a game to take seriously as a main stage game.

>>254978725
Confirmed FFA hero or plays against total shitters. Ike was garbage and overly relied on his jab to do anything.

>>254979324
That's why people find melee to be really interesting.
Most of the time the combos are 2 or 3 hits, nothing too long.

The "combos" that most people like are the people following up from what they did earlier; along with the occasional long combo

>>254979325
Bowser does more damage per hit. Checkmate.

>>254979169
Fair enough. I still like him as a whole though. Ike was my #1 nigga and he will continue to be in the new smash.

>>254979665

It's his only fast kill move, I'd fight for it too.

>>254979324
So basically combos can create more hype now because they're a lot rarer than they were before.

>>254979324
In a traditional fighter, maybe. But in Smash it works a whole lot better because of how freeform the combo system can be. Not to mention Smash combos are a fraction of the length of SF or god forbid anime combos

>>254979325
By aerial play I mean off stage play. Aerial play which is actually in the air, air to air rather than air to ground.

>>254979718
>>254979971
Yes, I wasn't talking about melee necessarily, although there are a few instances where breaking out is impossible depending on your character and position.

>>254978692
That is one cute cate

>>254979727

Yeah, I liked playing him too. He's surprisingly better than you'd expect, but that's partially because even though his moves take forever to come out, they also last forever so they punish dodges pretty well. I don't like playing him as much in PM though, his jab feels like shit now.

>>254979324
Combos rack up damage faster which increases the pace of the game and your ability to punish the opponent's mistakes. Compare to Brawl which was basically just hit and run so the matches took forever.

>Main Pit

>Casuals all though Pit was overpowered in Brawl

OP here. Didn't know that TF2 had used it for an update. I assure you that it's a term I've been using for years.

>>254979325

Bowser should have not been a scrub and learned to power shield. He should also get some stage control once he gets up there.

>>254979719
Bowser does 30-40% per hit? News to me.


Not to mention this game you're describing sounds pretty lame to me, watching one guy get lamed out then finally get in for a single hit then game lamed out for another however many minutes. Not fun to watch and probably not too fun to play outside of the winning party

>>254980125
Nah. Smash stuff is over.

>>254980097
Why is having longer matches bad?

>>254980097
So just increase the damage. That would waste less time than combos.

>>254980108
>Casuals all though Pit was overpowered in Brawl
Holy shit I remember when I first witnessed this in person, playing with some friends

They'd just throw out side-Bs at each other, and the other guy would just run right into it and then bitch about it being overpowered

I think he might be better. He lost the side B and his recovery got nerfed.

He might of got stronger in his other stuff though. His forward air attack hits a lot further now.

An 4 stock game of Melee is usually over within 3 or 4 minutes, as opposed to brawl where running out the clock is the norm. Brawl is basically if the Young Link/Jigglypuff matchup in melee comprised the entire metagame

We literally had a match in Melee Top 8 that lasted a minute (Axe's 4 stock of SW) and matches that didn't involve Hungrybox's lame ass Jiggs didn't tend to last much longer than that. Even the ones that did have HBox in it and the dreaded YL vs Jiggs matchups didn't even take up all 8 minutes

Meanwhile Brawl matches frequently go to time and consist of throwing out retreating hitboxes hoping your opponent is stupid and tries to approach.

That launch and down b combo isn't really a combo, it's just hitting with both hitboxes on the down-b.

>>254981532
Please tell me how Melee's Kirby is just as viable as Fox and why every single major Melee tournament has been won by one of 6 characters, all of whom are top tier.

>>254981532

You're joking, right?

Do you think your shitty car could beat an F1 racer?

>>254978456
At least it's agressive and offesnive, which matters more. And it's still faster than Brawl, at least definitely on the wiiu version

>>254981616
No, I asked why are long matches inherently bad, then you (or whoever that was) replied with something that can be applied to melee.
>>254981382
High level melee does have a lot of zoning, hoping, and waiting for the other player to make a mistake. You can not be so blind as to not notice this.

>>254980982
>that old as fuck image
>C. Falcon and Jiggly that low

Man, times sure have changed.

>>254981382
Basically chase down the opponent? I can do that in both games.

>>254981860
But unlike Brawl you can actually get more than a single hit out of it and due to the faster pace of the game and heavier punishes the matches are much shorter

>>254981653
>>254981758
People just need to try harder as Kirby. Maybe they need to play campier or something. I'm sure if people started to adopt him then he could rise up the tiers. As the years have gone on more and more characters have become viable with characters like Jigglypuff, Falcon and Peach reaching "high tiers" because people worked out how to play them. Amsa's yoshi is another good example of how someone can work out how to play a character and make them viable.
The tiers are just a snapshot of the metagame at the time they are composed. Within days the characters who are viable could completely change because someone works out how to git gud with Kirby. Tiers aren't as rigid as they're made out to be, they're actually super fluid, as witnessed by the many iterations of the tier list, and therefore they don't really exist.

>>254982037
You can, but in Brawl you're inherently put at a grave disadvantage for doing so because of how biased the game's mechanics are towards defensive campy play.

That isn't the case in Melee for the most part.

>>254981860
I'd be wrong if I said it doesn't. However you can also effectively rushdown your opponent with characters like the Spacies, Falcon, hell even Jiggs as Mango's proven in the past, and not be putting yourself at a massive disadvantage for attacking like you are in Brawl.

here's a few facts
kirby has a pretty shit recovery despite his multiple jumps
kirby can't combo to rack up percent
kirby has very few good kill moves (he has uair which is slow and hard to land, he has bair which isn't particularly strong and the only other thing left is his fsmash, good luck landing that when you need it )
kirby is light and so he is extremely susceptible to being killed very quickly
if he gets hit by falco's down b on the top of yoshi's story he dies, now that's just sad
it's not like kirby has secret potential, what can kirby do that is comparable to yoshi's egg stall, or his parry or his combo game?

>>254982412
>you weren't playing Smash right to begin with.

THIS is the exact example of casual elitism tourneyfags are talking about.

>>254982465
I don't get you. I don't see how having combos or not having them makes the game worse or better. I enjoy both playstyles.

>>254982772

>>254982772

>>254982172
Kirby is a broken ass character, his throws can be broken out of easily, he's lightweight, his range is ass, his only KO moves are slow, shitty attack power, etc. After 13 years of Melee being out nobody has found even a single exploit that would make him better. People knew Yoshi had access to techniques like parrying and double jump super armor but aMSa was one of the first to actually use them consistently and even then he's pretty limited by his character. Once people started finding out his gimmicks people were able to adapt and beat him, just look at MLG where he lost almost all his best of 5 sets. Like it or not, some characters are objectively worse than others and need to overcome a lot more to be even remotely viable and characters like Fox, Falco, Sheik, and Marth have been at or near the top of the tier list since the game came out.

>>254982781
>it's not like kirby has secret potential, what can kirby do that is comparable to yoshi's egg stall, or his parry or his combo game?
I'm glad you asked.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv_jkRK_6Ic

The tier list stagnates progress for tourney play. Characters are perceived as unviable and therefore aren't played as and this stops people from learning new skills with them that might manage to make them viable.
I'll agree that Kirby seems to be a piece of shit, but I bet you could make something of him if you tried and experimented.

>>254982927
Combos are fun. Hit and run and overly defensive play is not as fun. Taking out combos is dumb. Even fucking casuals like multiple hits and combos.

When's the next Nintendo direct? Or rather, when's the next possible time that Nintendo could announce a release date for Smash Wii U?

Overall Smash 4 doesn't have as much tech skill as Melee, I don't think anyone was expecting otherwise

But on the other hand, 4's cast has lots of off the wall and in depth characters. I think that alone will make 4 develop a decent meta game

You were silly to expect one at the tourney in the first place. Sakurai's not at SDCC, and didn't make any post about a newcomer on miiverse. The "surprises" have already been shown. Its silly to expect a reveal at Comic Con anyways, Japan always comes first.

>>254983468
WHAT THE FUCK

>>254983858
What about characters like Little Mac who have no spikes, decent aerial moves, or recovery, how is he supposed to edgeguard?

>>254983858
But he just said they sound good. Do you even read the posts you quote?

>>254983170
wow a frame perfect trick where it lets you get a grab from platform to a specific area in centre stage so that you can get 7% damage off of down throw because everyone knows that kirby's back throw and forward throw are so shit you can mash out before you even take damage

I'll be ready to rekt all of you online with Link

>>254984080
He has moves nonetheless. Short hop to ohkopunch with a DJ cancel on its recovery frames to get back?

>>254983943
I think so.
Today is several other games with more of the treehouse guys.

>>254984080
Little Mac has a meteor although I agree his aerial game is bad.

From the looks of the final last night they may have reduced the autosweetspot for ledgegrabs. Larry was edgehogging from onstage with down-forward-tilts so I guess that's an option.

>>254984080
Maybe not every character is supposed to be good or able to capitalize with every mechanic?

>>254984610
Yeah, which will make some characters shit.
Since smash is about making your opponents fall offstage and not about doing damage for a KO, characters who can't guard the ledge from recoveries are fucked because the way the majority of kills are gotten in smash is denied to them.

this guy gets it

It's pretty convincing knowing a guy who dropped into the loser's bracket his first round can get his head in the zone and manage to fucking dominate his way to the top, and he wasn't using any cheap tactics any of the 'pros' at the Smash Event did like hiding and staying out if it all. Bowser MIGHT be nerfed because of this, because he really did have a shit ton of strong moves. I think the only reason the dropkick got so many kos though is because of the second pause between the charge release and the actual kick. It's easy to mispredict when it will hit so if you come up from a ledge you could wind up landing right in it.

>>254985229

Why is this so hard for people to wrap their minds around?

Two people of approximately equal skill play as the same tier character. It now comes down to the individual.

One player of greater skill plays as a shit character while the other plays something decent. It comes down to the individuals.

Two players of approximately equal skill face off. One is playing as a shit character and the other something decent. Shit character loses outside of luck.

Jesus fuck and I've been arguing against the tourneyfags all thread. This is just common sense.

/r/ video of Bill Trinnin blowing that one tourneyfag toph the fuck out

>>254984613
It doesn't have to be melee. The issue is that brawl grossly favored defensive play to the point where very few characters could make a proper approach. This surfaces at even the most casual of play.

Then there is the lack of momentum and inertia making characters like captain falcon feel much worse.

Sakurai even commented on the former as a large reason for brawl online not being fun. The solution to that is obvious - more movement options (sidejumps would be cool) and faster recovery on moves on hit and block. But he hasn't really commented on that which is a bit concerning.

It's better to have a large swimming pool with a slope to multiple depths than one small swimming pool at shallow depth.

That all said, smash 4 looks really fun but it might have a short life like brawl if it's got less depth. Sakurai's comments on online/netcode are worrying.

>>254986301
L canceling wouldn't be necessary if moves recovered faster naturally. It's an executional aspect that I wouldn't mind seeing gone - casuals being able to play faster is good for everyone.

The distinction with wavedashing is that they probably never intended for it to be used the way it is.

Sadly Sakurai didn't take this opportunity to introduce new mechanics from something people were using. Imagine if every character had dedicated combat and escape slides.

It's kind of back in the form of reduced landing lag on short hop aerials. full hop aerials still have full-time landing lag, though. It's not the same, but I'll take it.

He originally mentioned that when he went to arcades he noticed the smoke laden fighting game areas being cliquish and bullying other patrons and that he didn't want that kind of environment for his game. Back before brawl.

L cancelling should, indeed, be replaced with just less landing lag after an aerial.

>>254986817
There are people who play the video game 'Super Smash Bros' in competitions. They fight to find a single winner. It's competitive. You just don't like it, anon, and it's okay to have that opinion.

>>254986248

He saw that anyone that spent more than a month playing Smash after release would get their ass handed to them by someone who wanted to get good at the game in general.

He didn't like it. He wanted everyone to have fun, whatever that fucking word means to him. Fun for him is having characters randomly trip, a mechanic that only he and EXTREME casuals liked. Though I'm sure someone on /v/ will defend tripping.

He has this weird soccer mom mentality, where he wants everyone to win when it's not possible in a game like Smash. There HAS to be a winner and a loser. It's weird that he thinks this way, because the field he works in is also competitive, even if in a different way.

So he dumped whatever physics engine HAL Labs made for Melee, made everything floaty and slow so the casual player always knows what is going on, and he even nerfed some items in Brawl. As of right now, I have no idea what he is doing. I just don't care anymore, and I don't he does, either.

The choices he makes are just too fucking weird. I think he may secretly be fed up with the whole thing, and just directs Smash because he needs a big paycheck. I don't say this because of anything in particular, it just seems to me like he doesn't give a fuck anymore about what people want.

>>254986817
So... There is a competitive fan base, it's just small. Right.

See, I don't see why people think that things won't benefit all players. Having faster move recovery and more movement options makes the game runner at all levels.

Did anything interesting at all happen on the stream after the Lost Levels challenge? I went to bed after that

The tourmanent itself, with Bowser dominating it.

>>254986982

It's funny because competitive Smash has some of the friendliest non-hostile people there can be in any community.

At least my experience was like that. I went to a meetup of comp. players playing friendly matches for practice, and everyone was chill as fuck. They even taught me a thing or two, and I got a little bit better. I don't think most of /v/ has had this sort of experience.

>>254987115
You do realize you tourniggers are the MINORITY, right?

Sakurai just doesn't give a fuck what YOU think.

Jesus fuck you're like the people who bitch at GameFreak for making Pokemon a poor competitive title.

>>254987114
>You just don't like it

That's because the people who play this game in competitions seem to be awful people for the most part.

>>254987387
You can wiggle out of it. Happened a couple of times during last night's shenanigans. I knew it couldn't be as retarded as they said.

>>254987115
There are some neat ideas. Ledge guarding not being a guarantee against people who aren't recovering with up b and encouraging aggressiveness off the edge is pretty good.

64: Link and Link
Melee: Link and Doc/Falco
Brawl: Falco and ZSS/Meta Knight
Smash 4: ZSS and Fox/ZSS/Little Mac/Ridley

>>254987387
Someone wiggled out of it earlier and he saw so he tried it that match 'cause it's all he could do once the beetle grabbed him. Pretty hype match.

Hahaha, finally someone will understand how I felt as a guy who only used Fox out of genuine appreciation for the Star Fox series.

>>254987201
Awww, is someone butthurt because he got made fun of for being bad in other games?

Even though the sole fact you actually post on /v/ means you're probably not even really that "casual" and actually spend a lot of time playing video games and are still terrible. Meanwhile even top players in competitive games still manage to juggle having a job and even significant others.

Face it, you're a failure anon.

>>254987624
New side smash. It seems to be one of the ones that move you forwards a bit like wolf's f-smash and charizard's f-smash. Pretty hype.

>>254987506
Don't worry. When the full game/roster is out, he might not even be top tier. Bowser is just the first good strategy people discovered.

>>254987528
You haven't met any of them. But keep up that generalization.

Christ. So much for hoping for a Smash without broken characters.

>>254987804

It had more to do with the fact that the people playing Bowser actually had some decent Smash experience. All they had for competition were Young Links spamming Down Air and Sheiks spamming projectiles. Obviously they would get their asses kicked.

>>254987804
I can see Bowser in mid tier.

>>254987460
I actually think Sakurai could learn a thing or two from Gamefreak. 99% of Pokemon's fanbase probably doesn't give a fuck about EVs or IVs or natures or anything of that sort, but rather than remove those features entirely they just decided to streamline things and make them more transparent. You can now catch Pokemon with 3 perfect IVs, there's a minigame to EV train Pokemon, battling and training has generally been made much less of a hassle. Rather than remove techniques like crouch cancelling or L cancelling maybe Sakurai could just incorporate an advanced techniques tutorial in training mode or something, having those mechanics does not hurt anyone.

So I know these people who have jobs and relationships but are idiots regardless
What about them

>>254987460
What's funny is that with each progressive generation Gamefreak has thrown more and more bones towards the competitive community. Dream World Abilites/Super Training, piss easy breeding etc. So clearly they're aware of that audience and catering to them ever so subtly.

Why can't Sakurai do the same?

Has anyone made a .webm of Zelda's B-up kill yet ?

Even though I'm doing all this arguing about how I prefer Melee gameplay and physics, I'm still buying the new game anyway. I guess it doesn't matter end the end then. Any other tournyfags that are gonna buy Smash 4?

>>254980108

are you retarded?

his neutral Air, his forward air got hyperbuffed

his Normal A got buffed too

irrelevant, but his final smash is also better


The only nerf is to his B , but his side B is honestly better. It has KO potential while "YAYAYAYA" was just cute.

64: I started off as the guy who wanted to play as Not-mario, but then I found out fucking Ness with in the game and I had to rep Earthbound. I was banned from playing 64 Ness among my circle of friends because they believed he was broken.
Melee: Naturally, I wanted to continue repping EB, but Melee Ness just wasn't as good. HOWEVER, I also fucking loved Mario 2 and was delighted to see that Peach was based on one of my favorite mario games.
Brawl: I tried Peach again and... it just wasn't the same. She lost all of her good tech, doesn't jump as high, and playing her feels like walking through molassas. However, I love Pikmin, so Olimar was there to pick up the slack.
Kerfuffle: I'm wise to Sakurai's game. I know Olimar is probably going to be shittier this time, so I'm nipping it in the bud and trying out Little Mac first, then I love Fire Emblem, so I'll probably try Robin next. We'll see, though.

>>254988021
L canceling was also already a casual friendly mechanic in 64! The goal in smash was to convert fighting game ideas to more fun and easy to do gameplay. L canceling was the way to do it for recovery canceling.

Is 2 or 3 months a reasonable amount of time for Sakurai and the devs to implement reduced landing lag for aerials and other fixes into Smash Wii U?

>>254987528
That's fine, I'm not defending the game or the community, it just sounded like you were confusing opinions with facts. Just trying to help, mang.

>>254988349
But that would make the game too hard and not fun.

>>254987771
It looks good but I miss his old forward smash.

>>254987948
>charged up smash attack from one of the strongest characters gets a lucky hit on a bunch of light (except for yoshi) high % characters and kills them
>pls sakurai nerf boswar is op

>>254988349
Lucina has almost no recovery on ground landed air normals so it looks like some characters will be like that.

>>254988106
Sakurai makes every Smash iteration cater towards the console's target demography.
