I think the reason I'm so okay with the Mii Fighters is that.. .Well, they have some style of their own. I was against Miis that fought exclusively with Wii Sports stuff, since I figured it'd be a little dull- Miis fighting with fighting game movesets or swords or sci-fi arm cannons are a different thing.

I sure said that!

Yeah, I like how the Miis have sorta generic but customizable movesets so that they can be just about anyone. I was iffy on the idea of playable Miis because I figured their movesets would just draw from Wii Sports and the like.

What time (EST if possible) do they usually post the Pic of the Day? Curious.

I live in Malaysia, and we usually get it about 2.30-3.00 in the afternoon. You'd have to count back from there.

EST is USUALLY 3 AM, though sometimes it gets posted a bit early.

We should get the last of this week's pics in about two and a third hours.

... Ah, by the way, that E3 vid for Smash for 3DS makes Trophy Rush a little clearer- You knock over boxes to grab huge bonus things, either trophies (marked with the Smash circle-and-off-center cross) or customization parts (marked with a spanner symbol).

I was thinking about the amiibos...

They said that amiibos could be used in other games besides just Super Smash Bros. Which means that any of these could have new games in the future to be used for.

So I'd predict that any that could be used in more than one game would probably be sold the most. But hopefully their inclusion means that we WOULD get more Metroid and Star Fox and Kid Icarus...

Soooooo, I don't know how they did it, but here's a clear version of the results screen music for Smash 4 AKA the remix of the Smash 64 Character Select jingle.

I'm reasonably certain they meant "we'll release more amiibo figures to accompany new titles".

We've already seen a second Mario amiibo that resembles his usual slightly brighter colors and putting up a V sign- Presumably, that one ties into Mario Kart or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker or something.

I'm mainly going to bother with the Smash amiibo figures because I'm getting variety in them by definition- They look to be physically pleasing little figurines in addition to the NFC functions.

Boo, they're turning off custom moves for online.

After all, we have to think about game balance, and it's crucial for anonymous players to be able to use reliable tactics against one another.

Laaaaaaaaame.

It makes sense to me, personally. The game is balanced around the default attacks, not to mention when you join a match you should be able to know everything the opponent can do just by seeing who it is, rather than have to guess what moves they're packing like in Pokemon. "Reliable tactics", like the post said.

I'll probably stick with the default moves when playing this game, but I'll be sure to give the customized ones a few tries and screw around with them occasionally.

Huh, Storm Punch. Isn't that a Jungle Beat reference? If so, awesome on Sakurai.

I guess we now know the REAL reason Miis are banned. tongue

I guess this means Palutena is also gonna be neutered on move selection online. Sounds like we need to pay close attention on what her default loadout will be.

Sure it makes sense. But the sentiment is laaaaaaame.

But, I guess that makes it easier. If lamer. But oh what the heck, I'm going to try everything. From the online to the offline to the midline to the outline.

For me, whether or not custom moves deserve to be banned depends entirely on how customizable the moves are, which is something we don't actually know at this point. If it's as simple as choosing set moves from a short list, then experience should make the variety a lot less unreliable fairly quick. If it's any more in depth than that, though, then they should probably not be allowed - at least in For Glory.

Not so much For Fun, since I figure enjoying running through the possible moves in madcap free for alls is something people would like doing for fun online.

Not that I particularly mind either way.

As awesome as Storm Punch looks, the cyclone seems to just blow opponents backwards instead of hurting them.sad

Depending on how strong and how big it is, pushing the opponent back could, in theory, be really good for edgeguarding.

Fair enough.

Still, a giant death cyclone being shot out of his fist is a wonderfully JoJo's esque skill, to go with Zelda and Mac's JoJo's faces.

"Miis online would be weird with all the references people wouldn't get/all the Hitlers." Makes more sense to me than "Miis online would be unbalanced due to their wide variety of moves."

Because the Miis, as with everyone, would have a default set of specials they could be restricted to. Specifically, the four moves they have before you unlock any variants.

DK's FLUDD Punch looks cool, but if it does no damage at fist range, I may stick to Giant Punch.

It's bound to hurt at the fist itself, but presumably not as much as a Giant punch.

Customization has me even more excited, since we're seeing really big changes to some moves instead of it strictly being a choice between vanilla/stronger-but-slower/faster-but-weaker variations.

... Though the Super Armor Headbutt still looks way, way better than the basic model.

[up]While that's probably correct from a technical perspective, I don't think Sakurai wants us to consider any given special layout for the Miis to be "default", even more so than for Palutena.
