Sakurai gives more details on Smash Bros 4

[Rizsparky]

I'd love Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong in this.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

It would be pretty cool if they added non-nintendo characters *cough* sora *cough..

Seeing as unlikely as it is, I will keep my "OH HELL NO" speech to myself for the moment.

 

[Yumi]

Sounds great. Although I didn't enjoy SSBB as much, I am (and always) be looking forward for a new SSB.

I'd so buy a Wii U and SSB4 if my impossible-dream came true if they added:

Spoiler

Jill from Drill Dozer, as a playable character...not an assist.She deserves a spotlight IMHO

 

[The Milkman]

I think people have stupid definitions of gimmicks here >_> Something like Sonic and Snake were gimmicks, assist trophies weren't. But this looks great, I. thought Sakurai was going to make Smash Bros a shooter or something stupid like that, as much as I do think a 3D battle environment (like KI) would be great, I am glad he's not doing anything like it.

What I would like is a more robust story mode, atleast make the reason all these guys are fighting somewhat official, Ik not saying make it consume the game, but make me want to see more. SSE was a good start. Keep it going, nice generic environments which can belong to multiple characters games. I don't want to be playing and see mushroom castle like in melee so I can flat-out tell that this is Marios area.

 

[Anakir]

Still have no hope for this game at all. I'll judge it when its actually out.

 

[ouch123]

at least 42 characters,and please keep ike....
the assist trophy gimmick should be in this game too.

As much as I like Ike, this is pretty unlikely seeing as how Roy was dropped from Melee to Brawl.

I like that Sakurai considers these sorts of things, though it's not surprising seeing as how great all of the SSB games have been so far. He's also already mentioned the possibility of Capcom characters, but seeing as how the only Capcom character I'd really like to see is Leon Scott Kennedy, I'm gonna say that comment's not going to come into fruition the way I want it to, if it does at all.

 

[OJClock]

i would really like for there to be an insane amount of characters to master
most people playing this game are going to be familiar with the series and I've liked learning new characters every game it's a lot of fun

 

[chavosaur]

I think with jill valentine and wesker being in marvel vs capcom, leon could be a good choice as a resident evil player for ssb. Or chris redfield but i'd MUCH rather have leon.

 

[Vampire Lied]

So snake is gonna make a 2nd appearance? I just wish they would rework his moves a bit. Glad he's still in though. I hope story mode is kept and made even better. I also hope the 3DS version won't be stripped down in terms of amount of characters and modes available. I know graphics won't be as good as wii-u version, but ill be happy as long as everything else is the same. 3ds players vs wii-u players over WiFi would be great. I'm not getting wii-u, so I'm hoping for the best for 3ds version. As far as capcom chars, Chris, Jill, Wesker, Oldschool version of Dante, Viewtiful Joe. I'd like to see at least one of them in the game.

 

[Fluto]

I just hope Toon Dark Link is included (dp).
I also hope that there'll be costumes or different versions of a character such as Paper Mario,8-Bit Link or Baby luigi.
I think that's a good idea...

 

[DiscostewSM]

EDIT: But clearly it's a shameless PASBR clone.

A clone of its predecessor, or a clone of a clone?

Stop! If you go any deeper, the game will blink out of

 

[Range-TE]

awesome, always looking forward to another SSB
I do hope they add costumes that aren't just pallete swaps, kinda like how Wario had his Bros. outfit and his Biker outfit.

also customizable/create your own characters

 

[beta4attack]

I think there's a rule about characters, I think that any characters that appear must have appeared in a Nintendo console (I think cameos don't count either) and KH appeared two times on the DS and one time on the 3DS, so I hope so Or at least they can make a KH assist characters

Oh and I hope they would remove the Nintendogs assist thing... IT WAS SO FREAKISHLY ANNOYING! D8

I'm wishing for a little bit bigger stages, like the Zelda stage from Melee (which made a retro-return in Brawl) I also think that they should do something about the final smash orb, I have super troubles to get it every time. I hit it 4-5 times in the air when it flies around, and never get it, while the opponents get it in 1-2 hits (doesn't matter if it's new or if it's after I hit them). Though it may just be me sucking extremely bad at it... Also, I think they should remove the 30 second - 3 minute demos of retro games that was in brawl. They added nothing fun to the game. a 30 minute demo perhaps. Or a few very hard to unlock full games. But a 30 second donkey kong demo? Meh.

Think that depends on which characters/moves you use, but I'm not sure.

 

[Issac]

Yeah probably is, but I have trouble even hitting them, so it's often some standard attack hitting them, b-button, up+a, I try some stuff... flies so high up most of the time so I have to use double jumps to reach them so smash-attacks are out of the question
But yeah, it's based on my skills obviously. But I still dislike how it behaves. I'd change the smash orb against that 3 part space ship thing... collect 3 pieces and hold those 3 pieces at once (able to knock them off other players) and once you have three, you get the final smash

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Well Smash Balls can take a certain amount of damage before breaking and obviously a character with more power will break it easier than one with less power. It's of course part of the power vs. speed balance. Like a stronger character like Ike can break it pretty easily but he's also slow and can't jump well. A weaker character like Kirby deals less damage but can deal more hits, move faster, and jump more. It's just part of the balance of the game (although it's not like SSB is balanced well).

Characters aren't gimmicks

Yeah, exactly! my problem is being to slow to reach that orb with a powerful character, not hitting it enough with a less powerful character, and totally jumping away from the orb (overshooting) with a quick character Lack of skills in other words!
