What was the case of the Retail games in size though?
Can DLC be written to the game card that seems odd.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Is that from Mac's victory screen or is there actually a way to get Doc Louis to show up during a match?

Well, strangely enough that Doc Louis' trophy actually placed in Assist Trophies section.

 

[KLatin Scelus]

FULL MELEE, BRAWL, AND 64 STAGE PACKS. BELIEVE.

 

[Crayolan]

Does anyone know if the crowd chants have been ripped? I wanna see if there actually is one for Ice Climbers in the game.

It's one of the Challenge wall images. Not sure how it was taken, heh.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

A really really huge Ridley Trophy where we have to scrolling up like 100 times to see Ridley's eye.

Spoiler

serious answer: it might be memories that are used for remembering your last colors (characters), 8 customization/setting per character, etc, etc.

Eh, 900mb sounds like a lot of overkill just to save a series of settings for each character when the actual character files/code that *would* take up a lot of room is already on the cartridge or digital copy.

 

[theprodigy]

If they handle DLC for Smash the same way they did for Mario Kart 8, the first batch of DLC could be released 6 months after release.

see you in June 2015

 

[PadWarrior]

I gotta do what?

 

[PKGaming]

What is this I'm hearing about vectoring? Apparently it's a bad thing...?

 

[Hedgey]

I bought smash on release date and I haven't found the time to play it. Am I a terrible person?

 

[theprodigy]

wait, how much is the size when you actually finish downloading it though?

 

[Benzychenz]

That's huge.

I know you don't believe in DLC right now, but what would you expect that space to be for?
That's like, double the characters and stages.

Nintendo's gonna milk us for like $200 of DLC over the next couple years.

 

[gngf123]

What is this I'm hearing about vectoring? Apparently it's a bad thing...?

To me, it sounds like a good idea with some potentially bad side effects for combos. On the flip side it is what most people do intuitively.

You are not if you send your copy to those people in need, like me.

 

[Mistle]

Yep. This thread can be so bad at times.

We should have "For Fun" and "For Glory" OTs

 

[Speedwagon]

Challenge pic. Those images with black borders are data-mined challenge pictures I believe.

Do you have a japanese 3DS?

 

[Azure J]

Guys how am I going to balance both versions of this game and Guilty Gear Xrd this winter?

 

[theprodigy]

mods would nuke both threads immediately in rage

 

[IntelliHeath]

1.1GB according to couple of sources.

 

[PKrockin]

It potentially makes a lot of combos impossible or much more limited, and makes it possible to survive to an absurdly high percentage, which many competitive players/spectators think would make the game less exciting to play/watch in tournaments.

 

[Neiteio]

There's definitely going to be DLC.

Create a handful of characters, and:

- Many people will buy them twice -- once for 3DS, once for WiiU
- Many people will buy the corresponding Amiibos that go with them
- They'll get more mileage out of every marketing dollar with sustained momentum

It's too lucrative an opportunity to pass up. And really, just look at MK8. There'll be DLC.

 

[Wanderer5]

Any pics of orange marth (I heard he got a new orange alt)?

 

[JediLink]

What is this I'm hearing about vectoring? Apparently it's a bad thing...?

It's a replacement mechanic for DI (directional influence). In previous games, the defending player could attempt to survive and escape combos by influencing the direction of their knockback. Now the defending player has a lot more control than they did before in that they can influence not only their direction, but also the amount of knockback. It's speculated that this might make combos harder/non-existent, but exactly how effective the mechanic is isn't known yet.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Are you interested in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax? Altus really pick a bad date for P4AU to coming out like few days before Smash 3DS coming out.

 

[Speedwagon]

I think they mistook it for the gold alt.

 

[A Link to the Past]

We need Ice Climbers back, otherwise we can't have a retro FFA

 

[Mr. Fix]

Genetic clone pack feat. Mewtwo & Snake!

 

[random25]

Do you have a japanese 3DS?

I'm just kidding man.

I'm planning one but until the new 3DS hits the shelves. Should be available where I live now. But Smash is just a little more than 2 weeks away anyway.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Sorta, the model look little more orangish in the game.

 

[johnsavage]

Does the idea of different stages sound appealing as a DLC option for you guys? More characters seems more worth it, but it doesn't seem very possible.

 

[GamerSoul]

Genetic clone pack feat. Mewtwo & Snake!

Then we're going to need a Pirate pack also.

sure

Spoiler

as long as they're good

 

[IntelliHeath]

You can still have retro-themed FFA.

Duck Hunt, Mr. Game and Watch, Pac Man and Arcade Version Little Mac

Heck, you could have Arcade-themed FFA.

Pac Man, Mario, Donkey Kong, Little Mac or Duck Hunt

 

[random25]

Regarding "vectoring", I think in the demo I saw a tip that pertains to a technique called Hitstun Shuffling, which says inputting a direction while taking damage moves you slightly in that direction. So maybe it really is part of the game.

 

[Pancakes]

Some of you complain about everything, though. FD stage variations are bad, blast zones are bad, speed isn't enough, DI whatever, etc etc...

As much as I dislike whining, in their defense the game isn't out yet so all people can do is speculate (and complain) about what we see on streams.

 

[johnsavage]

Oh yeah. Is there a level editor like Brawl? I remember making a stage where you could only die from meteor smashes (or bouncing off a wall to the bottom of the stage). Maybe that's what the arrows are for?

 

[Speedwagon]

But the game is out. I have it.

Wow I won't have to make space then. Surprised it's a tiny bit smaller than melee.

I would totally be down for new DK, Metroid, Wario, Pikmin, Star Fox, Sonic & Yoshi stages.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Ice climbers took up a little bit of space

 

[TheOGB]

Oh my, the datamining has begun. What exciting times!

Oh, and whoever said thick outlines looked best was right.

 

[Fiktion]

That doesn't mean their criticisms are invalid.

I'm a casual hoping for a healthy competitive scene, and I'd just like to see people wait and test this new mechanic thoroughly before jumping to conclusions about the impact it will have.

 

[Azure J]

Are you interested in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax? Altus really pick a bad date for P4AU to coming out like few days before Smash 3DS coming out.

I don't think I'm picking that one up. I like how the game looks and plays and did want to get into it at one point, but I guess I'm just going to be fickle and stick to Smash and GG this winter season.

able to play this game competitively pack: Pokemon Stadium 1, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland 64.
Bam. Game would be so much better if they'd just do that shit. I don't like the stage selection in the 3DS version in general, but man, the amount of good competitive stages is abysmal.

 

[Wanderer5]

Ah so looks gold/orange-ish.

 

[Elfforkusu]

They'll be back on the Wii U version.

nah that's SDI

What's the difference?

How are DLC characters not possible?
