This is the same thing that happened with Brawl. Nothing new.

[up][up]I resent that.

While it wouldn't really be feasible to program them to the background music, if that's what you mean, they probably would have a rhythmic fighting style - moves are more effective when the buttons are pushed in rhythm or something.

That's more what I meant. Sorry if I wasn't clearer.

I just did some calculations. If I did the math right (which I'm not sure I did), there's 243 possible Mii builds. I think that's enough to keep us interested for a while, at least as long as the Stage Builder kept us interested.

I'm not sure I'll be big on making a lot of Mii Fighters, but... I guess I'm kind of obligated to recreate that very first Mii they show that somehow looks more like me than my actual own Mii.

This is the same thing that happened with Brawl. Nothing new.

To be fair, Brawl released in an era where near simultaneous release of Nintendo games in all territories was rather abnormal. Now we have worldwide releases of Pokemon, of all things.

Aside from that, Sakurai didn't say Brawl would be a Holiday (Summer, in For's case) release less than fifteen minutes before announcing a delay like he did with For.

EDIT: Wait, never mind. I don't think Sakurai ever said it'd be a summer release in the Digital Event.

With Pokemon X and Y, they had a same-day release worldwide, and were apparently quite vicious about keeping certain game details hidden down to the end. They could achieve this for For, and try to recreate the magic of secret characters which could still exist, in some measure (yeah, the internet was around, but it was different) back in the days of the original game and Melee.

Now, i had to spoil myself about the identities of the secret characters to learn how to unlock them, but imagine the joy of running into Mr Game and Watch by yourself. We're going to lose that...

I don't see any point in trying to do a simultaneous release for Smash Bros 4 in order to keep things secret anyways, since either way there'll still be one version that will be released after we already know everything.

Right, but at least those who choose to get the 3DS version at launch should have the option of a spoiler-free experience.

I don't know, i feel like it adds a bit of magic to the experience, hearkening back to the era when the only way to find out about what was in a game was to play it, or wait a while for guides to appear...

It's probably worth noting that the next Pokemon games aren't a simultaneous worldwide release. That was only XY.

I was hoping to have a spoiler-free experience until I get the Wii U version.

Even if I try, probably not going to happen.

The final roster will probably be leaked even before it comes out in Japan anyway.

If I were to go about this, I'll probably leave this thread until I've acquired SSB and unlocked everyone. Probably have to leave other places as well.

I'm in a nostalgic mood, so I was just appreciating my old Gamecube controller. My brother can have the special SSB one — ol' silver's been with me for over a decade.

I wonder just what we like so much about it above the Classic Controller Pro and Wii U Pro Controller.

[up] You're probably used to the GC controller's button layout from playing the hell out of Melee.

Just my guess.

I have three GC controllers. One has both sticks chewed the hell out of, making it quite uncomfortable to use. The other two have turbo buttons. This presents obvious problems for going to tournaments.

Controllers without turbo buttons are very expensive to find these days.

I have at least six Gamecube controllers. :| So all I need is just the game, that adapter...

And to be able to live until the Wii U version comes out.

I only have three good controllers left, so the bundle is ideal for me.

[up][up][up][up][up]Doesn't explain why I use it every chance I get. Every game I play, I try to get away with using my GC controller via the Mayflash GC-Classic Controller adapter.

Problem is, way too many games use the ZL button, the only one the Mayflash adapter doesn't emulate, for important stuff. Unite Guts, Blast 2s, can't use any of them.note sad

Fingers crossed for a bundle that includes the system itself- I hate being a poor video game fan.

I sure said that!

[up]I don't doubt that. SSB4's the Wii U's last chance of being taken seriously in the market, of course it's going to have a bundle like the other big system seller, MK8.

On another subject, I'm trying to make a custom extra-stages Project M build for myself to ease the wait. But something's wrong with the codelist at the moment and every stage plays one song :p
