Speak for yourself, faggot. Even the competitive community it's excited with it. A good speed and pacing, combos are possible,, it's less floaty and new mechanics such as the new L-cancelling which was already discussed, having different landing lags for different attacks, the new ledge grab mechanic and the impossibily all mix up into a new, great game for both the casual and competitive audience.
The game you wanted was made in 2001 and then remaded as PM. Play that if you want, but please stop being an enourmous faggot.

Though that, by your image, I guess your little anus still hurts from having both Ice Climers AND chained combos removed.

You know that competitive players make up a very small portion of "the fans" right?

Sakurai himself thinks of Smash as a party game. Why people try to play Smash competitively when it wasn't designed to be is beyond me.

You know who Smash is made for? Nintendo fans. People who want to see a game with Mario and Pikachu on the same screen.
When you were little and played Smash 64 for the first time, did you care about the competitive scene? No.
There are hundreds of thousands of kids that are excited for this game, just like you were for the first game.

Competitive players are entitled assholes who think that the entire Smash Bros franchise revolves around their little tournaments. It doesn't.

>>262674021
fucking this

>>262672581
Well, I have a Jap 3DS and I am playing the demo right now.

The game is fucking perfect. There, said it. It feels like Brawl, if Brawl was a perfect game.

Think Brawl but flaws are gone. Its smooth as fuck and hitting your opponent feels great. It feels more competitive than Brawl ever did.

Why is 4chan the only place that doesn't consider smash a fighting game? Smash is even apart of the FGC.

I like Melee more than Brawl, but I don't understand why you want the upcoming game to be exactly like it. You don't have to have wavedashing to make a competitively viable Smash game if 64 is anything to go by

I'm just hoping Smash 4 hits the middle ground well enough by having a fast enough pace. Going by what we know so far it's already shaping up better than Brawl to begin with, though we've yet to see the final build in practice.

i liked brawl, stop thinking we're all tourneyfags who only care for melee.

You are fucking retarded.

Literally no one outside of the autistic online competitive community thinks Melee is better than Brawl.

Brawl is better in every single way that actually matters to the majority of players. Amount of characters, content, music, graphics, single player, customizability, stages...

You're saying that Nintendo should cater to the 1% of players who treat Smash as a competitive fighting game? Well fuck you that will never happen.

>>262674181
Because the CREATOR doesn't consider it one.
There are hundreds of other fighting games out there to compete in. I don't understand why so many competitive players try to make Smash into something it isn't.

>>262674181
No it isn't. Smash isn't a fighting game. The creator doesn't consider it a fighting game, no matter what you autists think. It's something you'll have to deal with.

>>262674021
>some little kids out there are as excited for this game as I was for Smash 64

Melee is stupid and is ironic for "competitive play"

It was made as a family fun game. Autistic kids like yourself turned it into a competitive scene.

Me and everyone I know really enjoy melee over brawl, and we're hyper casual at "fighting" games, or party games, or what have you.

It was way too floaty and it ended up being a lot more boring and a lot less fun.

Plus the items kinda sucked compared to melee.

>>262674442

Tell you what. I'm going to make a game. Itll star a character with legs who can jump a lot. He will jump across platforms and all sorts of obstacles, and will jump all the time. And I'll call it a racing game and declare anyone who thinks otherwise a faggot because obviously since I'm the creator, my word is law and I can make bullshit up all the time. In fact, I'll call it a tactical espionage card based racing game. Because that's totally what the game is

>>262674738
Isn't the Red Shell the ONLY item from melee that didn't come back? Just turn off everything else.

I've got a bunch of casual friends and they like Brawl better because it has a shitload more content. Anyone who plays Smash and complains about the "floatiness" should just be playing a different game.

So the franchise needs to stay afloat purely from appealing mascots? Brawl was fun for a while, and I was very excited to see snake, but there's a reason I only play that game on rare occasion while Melee is a huge timesink.

Wanting good gameplay from a game is not entitlement.

>>262674738

>>262674913
>Anyone who plays Smash and complains about the "floatiness" should just be playing a different game.
What? We like playing it because we get to beat the shit out of eachother, and brawl just gives you less control over that.

Actually scratch that. 1 friend of mine enjoys brawl over melee, purely because he loves playing ike and spamming that dash move and his B up. The other 20 odd people enjoy melee over brawl because it's just more fun. but then again over half of them prefer 64 > Melee > Brawl, because your hits are a lot more powerful in the older games

I think a Brawl/Melee comparison is inherently flawed because we know that brawl was reactionary to the meta which arose around Melee. I agree that the reaction was too strong. Tripping and the general "weight" of brawl felt awful.

Looking at Smash4, I'm getting a vibe much closer to the original but with content levels on par with brawl - which I am very okay with.

>>262675584
I don't think you understand

>>262673293
This. It's retarded in any game when there are characters that aren't even viable on a casual level, or are so gimmicky and shitty that you wouldn't even want to play them. In Melee about 1/2 of the cast is S / A tier. In Brawl just about 1/6 are A or above, and the rest just get increasingly shittier until F.

Hilariously UMVC3 functions better as a party game because you can at least pick random characters and it won't be too much of a difference, if the point is fan service why should I be deterred from picking a character because they're so horrendously broken that they either require way too little or way too much effort to actually use?

Also I'm questioning if there is actually a living organism in this galaxy who legitimately enjoys playing as Pokemon Trainer for extended periods of time.

heads up, half the posts in this thread (literally) are op. stop responding and let him try to bump it.

I'm pretty optimistic about Smash 4 being the best one yet (mainly the Wii U version).

> Way more characters (and say what you want about clones, this game has the lowest ratio of them other than 64 which had a whopping 12 characters total). I think the roster is great - lots of unique movesets in there. I think people consume every little bit of info they can get their hands up for years before release and they lose that initial excitement from all the new characters. For example, people who are already bored of Megaman and call him shit before the game is out and before even having played the game.
> Seems to be a mix of the good things from Brawl and the good things from Melee (mainly the speed is better. Smash 4 Pikachu is supposedly faster than Melee Pikachu, among other speed increases). No tripping as well, and some moves have no landing lag.
> HD Visuals. Smash finally enters the era of HDTVs without looking like blurry ass.
> Online with items / no items as an option.
> Gamecube Controller support.

Sorry but I'd rather have all these improvements if all it costs me is a couple Melee maneuvers. People that want that can stay here, I'll take the 50 character roster game that fixes all of Brawl's shortcomings.

>>262675654
Are you trying to imply people you meet online are somehow different than people you meet in real life? Cause if you are that just adds to your stupidity

>>262675112
This. Brawl was extremely fun at a time, but it got stale fast. The menus aren't very pleasing to look at compared to other more stylized menus in Nintendo games, and a large amount of the content was fluff. Most of the stuff related to trophies, stage builder was pretty much only useful past the first 2 months unless you used homebrew, the demos were essentially just 2 minute advertisements, and more.

Subspace also felt terrible because the enemies were about as spongy and awful as late-Borderlands 2 enemies, the physics didn't make for fun platforming so the only rewarding parts were the cutscenes and knowing that you're unlocking things from it, the gameplay was a chore otherwise. This coupled with the fact target tests were disappointing and pointless, and aside from unlocking one VERY shitty stage and jigglypuff, events weren't really that great either.

I spent more time running around in Xenoblade than I did fighting, and Asura's Wrath is a Beat'em up. The difference between those and Smash is that Smash is focused on humans fighting other humans in the vein of traditional fighting games. Whether or not it's a party game inconsequential to whether or not it's a fighting game. Is Madden not a sports game because it's often played in groups?

>>262676372
lol this is so laughably autistic, are you saying if you took the exact same game mechanics but added a platform it wouldn't be fighting game?

The thing is, I loved SSE too, but I think it was also because the excitement made the game seem so amazing the first month, and because it was co-op gameplay that wasn't just re-playing Streets of Rage again. Though once you get to around the middle, the only thing that really motivates you to plow through all those shitty trumpet, eyeball, and totem enemies are the promise of unlockables.

It's strange that just seeing those barrels and doors give me a small unique feeling of disgust now. As a fun little exercise, if you have Brawl or Dolphin, play SSE up until when you're able to play as Donkey Kong and unless you really love that mode, you'll have a strong urge to turn the game off.

The core fundamentals are changed though, you have platforms and no health bars, also multiple players are possible.

Turning something off doesn't mean the features are not there.

Genres can't be too broad otherwise they lose meaning. That's why there's a distinction between fighting games, 3D fighting games, brawlers, arena fighters and all the others. But for some reason Smash players are the only ones who can't comprehend it

Quoting myself again because you're a retard and keep trying to make the same argument.

You don't even know what fundamentals are. You literally have no idea what you're arguing about. I can tell just by the way you're arguing that you've never played any fighting game competitive, so I will break it down for you.

>Most everything that can be considered fighting game fundamentals can be be summed up in one word: footsies. Footsies covers:
-when to attack
-what attack to use (poking/counter-poking)
-where to attack from (spacing)
-when to defend

Trying to say Tekken isn't a fighting game is just icing on the cake.

Don't bother with this clown. he doesn't understand that fighting games is the over lying genre above the sub genres of 2d fighters, 3d fighters, etc.

>>262680728
Holy fuck you're retarded. That's not what the core of fighting games is, the core of fighting games is SF2, you just made up your own definition on the fly.

Fighting games were defined by SF2 so SF2's mechanics are the definiton.

After SF2 came out games that diverged from the formula created its own sub genres like 3D fighters.

How many times have we had this thread now?

>>262680234
>>262680234
>But for some reason Smash players are the only ones who can't comprehend it.

You don't have to play a game to realize what type of game it is. Mentally handicapped people like you think that if something even slightly deviates from the norm it deserves a new genre. Otherwise you'd have people stating that SMRPG is a platformer RPG, and Namco x Capcom is a turnbased fighting game. But you're probably just going to say every fighting game needs to be what SF2 and Mortal Kombat were because you're a fucking idiot.

Sakurai could satisfy both Melee and Brawl players by giving us speed settings. He won't for some reason, even though many fighters have been doing this for generations now.

And yes if you want the label of a fighting game the game needs to be similar to SF2

They don't share the same core fundamentals because one of the core fundamentals is 2D plane.

That's why 3D fighting games are called 3D fighting games, because the distinction is the 3rd plane.

The entire competitive community is currently shitting themselves in happiness at this version of Smash Bros.
It's significantly faster than Brawl, there's very little landing lag and some moves even auto cancel. There's Pivot Smashes. There's Dash Dancing (to an extent). There's no tripping. Chain grabs have been removed. Link ISN'T SHIT. Mario ISN'T SHIT. Mega Man CAN KEN COMBO.
All of these things add up to make Smash Bros 4 greatest of all time.
We're not even anywhere near people being able to discover advanced techniques either, so we have that to come.

Brawl sold 12 million copies and is the best selling entry in the franchise. Smash tournies are entered by a couple hundred and watched by around 20-30 thousand at max, normally much less. Silent majority overrules tiny vocal minority when it comes to business.

Nintendo don't give a fuck about the couple thousand neckbears crying over competitive gaming. They care about all those millions of kids that just want Mario to fight Link. Fuck, they're now even selling Smash as a skylanders product where you buy little plastic figures that interact with the game. I don't think Nintendo could be more open with who the Smash audience is unless they shot a fucking satellite into orbit that exploded to form the words "SMASH IS FOR CHILDREN."

Smash is more of a fighter than any arcade game because its momentum and knockback system results in a dynamic that feels closer to actual real life sparring than any game without it and with tons of joystick buffering instead.

>>262685307
sauce on that gif?

>>262685514
Fuck it one last go

Smash will never ever be Fighting games because
>no health bars
>platforms
>items that can be turned on or off
>more than 2 players at once
>it's not SF2

Thank you... so... so much

>>262686021
Yes, smash isn't a traditional fighting game because of combination of all of those
Though saying
>it's not SF2
isn't true. Traditional fighting games can be different from SF2, I mean SF3 and SF4 are quite different.

However when you change something as core as health bars it becomes its own sub genre and shouldn't be called a fighting game

>>262685936
The next post to get 45 I'll respond to with the sauce

>>262685889
>Except they lack the self awareness to see that 3D fighters are as different from 2D ones as those are from Smash.
But I've said that multiple times, both 3D fighters and Smash aren't fighting games

>>262686067
Random tripping is gone, you can still trip through items & some attacks

>>262686472
Okay good

>people defend smash when it becomes shallow and casual

Why is it okay when Nintendo does it?

>>262686312
Healthbars are not core
KO state is core

If you change the way you achieve a KO doesn't make it any less of a fighting game

>>262686345
winrar?!

>>262686345
guess your posting the sauce
5

>>262686595
How is it not core? Health bars literally dictate how the game is played, because of the way you get KOs in Smash is changed drastically the gameplay is changed too.

Also health bars aren't the only thing that diverges from the standard fighting game.

>>262686859
it's still a fighting game
just not traditional

>>262686590
The point is that is has always been shallow and casual? Why don't you go play a real fighting game if you desire a hardcore experience?
You can even play DOA if you suck that much.

>>262687008
Is not, is as much of a fighter as the DBZ tenkaichi games.

>>262687008
Exactly, that's why it shouldn't be called a fighting game.

Guys, I had a dream last night

>booting up SSB4 for the first time
>go to options
>see button: Melee (with the same font)
>game mechanics change to the Melee mechanics
>casuals can still play with "everybody wins" mentality
>others can try combos and get good in "Melee Mode"

>>262686345
that was fast

>>262686859
The core is still
Fighters beating eachother to force them into a KO State

That's right the bare bones of fighting games

When will Nintendo take off the items on Mario Kart and make the track in a way you can't get outside of them?
Competitive MK will never take off like this.

>>262687190
No, the bare bones of fighting games is SF2

Thank you based Sakura for making a "for glory" mode so that we don't have to deal with autistic tourneyfags

>>262687084
No you retard it's why it shouldn't be called a traditional fighter
It's still a fighting game

>>262687376
No it's not, SF2 defined fighting games, if a game diverges too much from the core that's SF2 it isn't a fighting game

>>262687260
So that's why everyone is calling you retarded

If it diverges too much from SF2 it isn't a fighting game, yes. It's a different genre then like a 3D fighting game or arena fighter or whatever.

My post was a get, as well as a request for a get. I called a 45, so someone else needs to get a 45 as well.

>>262683176
you're the one complaining about the game

>>262687653
Fighting game is a video game genre in which the player controls an on-screen character and engages in close combat with an opponent. These characters tend to be of equal power and fight matches consisting of several rounds, which take place in an arena. Players must master techniques such as blocking, counter-attacking, and chaining together sequences of attacks known as "combos".

SF2 refined the Fighting games genre not set it in stone

>>262672581
No one cares about your bitching and moaning you self entitled douchebag. The game will be amazing and if you don't like it by all means go back to playing Playstation All Star Battle. Fuck off.

smash bros was meant to be a competitive fighting game as much as the ninja storm games anyway

>>262683176
Nobody cares about your autistic need to play smash competitively. Go play SFIV, everyone else is fine enjoying smash casually. I'm fucking sick of the cancerous tourneyfag community sperging out because its not as fast as muh melee.

>>262672581
Are you fucking kidding me faggot? It's fucking anything but Brawl 2.0.
Fuck off you dumb piece of shit.

>>262688184
>wikipedia
Street Fighter II popularized and standardized the conventions of the genre

>>262674021
Just because it's a 'party game' doesn't mean it can't be competitive. That's fucking WHY 'party games' work, and are fun at parties, BECAUSE they're fucking competitive.

>>262688570
smash bros isn't meant to have items off and have final destination be the only stage

>>262688497
And now anything that isn't a traditional fighting game like SF2 is not a fighting game?

>>262688701
Yes, because SF2 defined fighting games. They have their own sub genres like 3D fighting games

>>262688652
Then fucking why does it give you the option in every game faggot? That's the beauty of Smash, it can be played however the fuck you want to play it.

>>262683176
i can't believe you don't think what you're posting is fucking retarded

Why can't people play a game differently from other people? Why is that a problem? Why can't we have fun the way we want it? Why?

Antitourneyfags are the most obnoxious and whiny faggots on this board, they've basically switched places with the people they despise. Arguing with them is pointless, they still believe tourneyfags take the the Fox only FINAL DESTINATION maymay seriously.

That's not how it works, fighting games aren't an overarching genre, fighting games are restricted to games similar to SF2.

Everything else isn't a fighting game but its own thing

>>262689462
I love how Melee is responsible for everything wrong with Smash, when there are people that make discussion of Smash Bros impossible, and the only thing that ends up being discussed are speculations on new games, and roster shitposting.

>>262689561
Smash is popular only because if its characters, the gameplay and everything else about it is absolute garbage. If they abandoned the characters they'd have nothing left

>>262689462
maybe you should play a real fighting game

Uh...that's excatly what they are though. Are you being sarcastic or something?

>>262689682
its a real question

>>262689806
Please give me a source for that
Fighting games came to be thanks to SF2, why would they be an overarching genre?
Your own made up definition doesn't matter here

>>262689901
try harder

The thing that makes Smash different from other fighting games, more than anything, is the amount of movement options you have with your character.

Everything in the game is based around being able to move your character smoothly in every direction. That's the fun part of it for me, too. Melee was the best for it. Brawl was terrible. Smash 4 looks better than Brawl but still makes absolutely irredeemable mistakes like not having forward momentum carry into your jumps. Like, what the fuck? That's something Nintendo figured out in 1985. That's what made Mario feel so much better than any other platformer at the time. Honestly, how could they take that out?

>>262690032
Why don't Project M guys make their own smash like game with their own characters? Do they just lack creativity and desire for money?

Reminder that there are shitheads on both sides.

Tourneyfags, competitive Melee players who are playing the current build are satisfied with it.

Anti-tourneyfags, YOU guys are the ones being elitist about how Smash should be played. And we prefer its gameplay over "real fighting games".

>>262690060
its a platform fighting game

>>262672581
>what if they have been trying to recreate the melee gameplay with the new platform all this time and through some fluke in all coding they can't recreate it correctly?

Coder here, shit would be easy to recreate on Wii U. Most of Melee's code is probably still in SSB4. Shit hasn't been written in assembly (non-portable code) since the SNES days.

Kerfuffle is different to Melee because he wants it to be.

>>262672581
>recreate
>bugs
tourneyfags are truly abhorrent

>>262690109
It would be orders of magnitude more work.

A bunch of PMBR people are helping with Air Dash Online, but that project seems to be at a standstill.

>>262689909
>Your own made up definition doesn't matter here

But yours does? I seriously hope you're just triyng to ruse me here because if you honestly believe that fighting games aren't a video game genre and is limited only to SF2 then I just feel sorry for you.

L-cancelling is hard because you have to make new animations for every aerial.

Wavedashing is super easy. All they have to do is add directional airdodging again.

Stuff like jump cancellable shine, land cancelled lasers, edgecancelling... all of those are super easy too.
