Super Smash Bros. for 3DS |OT| It's out in Japan

Wow, that is disappointing. I still think Mega Man is great and I win with him all the time, but I do think his B moves are pretty much worthless.
At least his customs look quite a bit better. Except for down B, though as a Mario main, I'm quite used to ignoring that special.

I really love Megaman. I didn't think I would, but I do. Yeah, his special moves aren't that great, and his recovery kinda sucks, but good aerials are awesome, his dsmash and usmash are great, his utilt is awesome, he's got speed and combo potential, and his throws are pretty good. He doesn't have ftilt or neutral, but whatever. I think his fsmash is cool, actually.

Anyway, just demo impressions, but I megaman so far, and I didn't even consider him before.
 
Noticed Wario's UAir doesn't have as much knockback as before though he seems like he has better KO moves otherwise. (like FTilt is way better at KOing now it seems lol)

Also think his new purple alt is pretty sweet. No substitute for orange though!

D'aw, that was one of my favorite Wario moves!

So what's the first big tournament to feature Smash 3DS? (not these mini tournaments)

Nothing yet that I've seen. I don't think we'll see anything too big until the US release is out there and probably not until a week or two after that.

In other news, The Big House 4 is looking like it'll have over 400 entrants for Melee. Jesus Christ, Melee.

Rewatching the developer direct... mega man used to be a lot better :/

Look at his metal blade! Look at that instant leaf shield! :( :( :(

What did they do to you?

The Metal blade works the exact same way as it does now though? Unless I'm missing something here.

*Oh, the knockdown?
 
I love that Alph's alts represent Brittany & Charlie.
Also, that Lucina's represent other Awakening females.

Overall, they did a pretty good job with the alt colours/costumes.

Although a (selfish) part of me kind of wishes there'd be more revealed in the Wii U version, I know it's not going to happen.

I love the alts. My only change would be to give Marth red hair for the Roy alt.

No love for roy marth and Chrom Ike? :(

Not sure but going to guess it won't be until October 10th at earliest.
Funnily enough, the tournament that took place at my school yesterday was formed to be for Smash 3DS when it coming in the summer. It did have some smash 3DS there but it was far from competitive. It was a little section of 4 3DS right next to where the commentators were.

I knew I recognized that colour scheme from somewhere! It's been bugging me since that Famitsu guide leaked, lol.

It's a tad strange how some characters change skin or hair/fur color for their alts, while others don't at all.

In a few hours:

"Pic of the Day: You think this is all the game is getting? You ain't seen nothing yet. Here's the Wii U version with an additional 4 costumes for Villager, more to come"

It bugs me that one one of the Villager's alts has a different hair colour.

Pic of the Day: You can use Miiverse and upload screenshots in the Wii U version of the game!
 
Treehouse stream tomorrow? :D Damn it all, I have an essay to write...

Question for Mega Man mains with access to the game. Could leaf shield be useful for edge hogging? Like could you knock someone off, activate it, and then grab onto the ledge to keep people away? It bugs me that everything I've heard seems to paint the move as essentially useless.

It has barely any damage/knockback, so I don't think so. I've had it semi-useful when going in for grabs (to interrupt an enemy attack while I come in) but it's literally the only thing you can do besides shoot out the leaves.

How is the stat tracking? I loved Melee showing your most-used characters, least used character, number of KOs and falls, etc.
 
How to use Leaf Shield:

1. Throw Metal Blade to the ground
2. Activate Leaf Shield
3. Pick up Metal Blade
4. ??????
5. Get kicked off the stage

I was afraid that was the case :/ Sounds like it has very specialized applications, if that. Oh well, I'm maining him any way, lol.

@ Glass Rebel

Weapons-grade mind games right there. Opponent won't know what the hell you're doing.
Neither will you.

Lol, right after I check this thread and saw that, I heard Zero say "Guys guys have you seen this?" and then pull up that gif.

Also that's amazing. Dedede's new Gordo toss looks good. Can you control the speed/angle it goes out at, or is it random?

I see a lot of potential in Shulk. I've seen streamers making excellent use of the Speed and Shield arts, and even the Jump art, using it to edgeguard by following people below the stage, spiking them and then leaping back to safety with the extended jump. To my surprise, it's the Buster and Smash arts that people seem to struggle with, since they don't take into account the debuffs that accompany the buffs, I.E. someone will switch to Smash to launch foes, but won't consider how Shulk becomes easier to launch, as well. I think Shulk will really shine once people get a handle on when and where to use each art, and once people get used to cycling through the arts in the heat of battle.

I remember hearing that "Roy" was unlockable in Melee and thinking that it was the Koopaling 13 years ago and still can't fucking believe that it's come full circle.
Ha, so true! :-D

Nice and organized. Thanks.

Really love how varied this is.

Bowser Jr. + all seven Koopalings + the Clown Car are seriously like a dream-come-true newcomer for me. The fan service, the iconic imagery, the creativity... A character compelling to watch and play.

Super-pumped about their inclusion. :)
 
Are the colours one chooses in their own copy really that dangerous to the image of companies?

you have no idea. i did some artwork for a game company once and they had to approve it. they sent me a 35 page documents what i can and can't do. this character can't stand close to that or you can't have red near that character and trivial shit you wouldn't believe.

they had to approve it and checked every single color of every inch.
