Super Smash Bros.

I'm hoping Mewtwo is made better in Sm4sh, but I can't shake the feeling that they're probably going to nerf his throws.

Sakurai always, always brings up how psychics and magic users in Smash usually have better throws than anyone else whenever throws do come up, so I dunno about that.

If they nerf Mewtwo's throws, so help me I'll be... very upset.

Plot twist: Mewtwo won't have any throws at all.

Plot twist twist: All his normal attacks are throws.

This◊ has to be filled!

The only character psychic/magic user in Sm4sh that has an amazing throw is Ness with his silly B-Throw. Other than that, I think the only throws that actually kill at a reasonable percentage are Marth, Lucina, Greninja and ROB's Up-Throw. Plus if you count throws that lead into combos then Luigi, Palutena, Diddy and Greninja are the most notable ones.

So... I don't see how they have better throws than the rest of the cast. I mean I guess Robin's B-Throw can kill too but it doesn't really mean much when it kills at around the same time as ROB's Up-Throw.

New Direct confirmed.

When is the Direct? I can't see, I'm at school.

It's tomorrow at 6 PM EST.

That's exactly when I'm free tomorrow! How neat.

I expect a Mewtwo release date announcement and trailer, as well as a bunch of Splatoon stuff. followed by an inkling smash dlc trailer

I think Wolf is likely to be next DLC character as he's the most likely veteran to return after Mewtwo, plus we have a Wii U Star Fox game coming.

I want Bandanna Dee with his squatting jumps.

I think Lucas is just as likely as Wolf, if not even more so. They basically already have PK Freeze available in the game.

I don't think we ever actually concluded what an Inkling would play like, oddly.

Theorizing: Begin!

Platforms confirmed for ninja conspiracy.

I'm thinking that PK Freeze being one of Ness's customs would make Lucas more of a clone of Ness. I know Wolf is pretty diverged by virtue of his A-attacks, so maybe Lucas is similar ( I didn't use Lucas that much in Brawl), plus Star Fox is actually getting a new game, so Wolf will likely be more relevant than Lucas.

Wolf, then Lucas are the most likely characters. Dixie is the most likely of the newcomers, though not guaranteed. Chorus Kids and Issac also have decent odds. If there is more DLC (which there probably will be) we may not find out about it until E3 though.

I'd personally rather see Dixie over Lucas as Dixie adds another female to the roster, plus she has more relevance than Lucas, and adds another DK rep.

Ice Climbers are a possibility if they finally got them to work on the 3DS version.

you know, I think Sakurai should've given people an incentive to buy the Wii U version by making the Ice Climbers Wii U exclusives.

Just wondering, have any of you read The Hot Topic Krew?

The last thing this game needs is Diddy in a crop top.

[/asshole opinion]

chrom pls

x4 No, I'm pretty sure most Smash fans were planning to purchase the Wii U version anyway, regardless of whether or not they already had the 3DS version beforehand.

If they're going to make the Ice Climbers Wii U exclusive, the least they can do is have a 3DS exclusive in the works as well.
