Super Smash Bros. focused Nintendo Direct! Greninja Makes a splash!

If Charizard is a solo character and doesn't weaken from stupid stamina issues, I'm totally using him. And if Ness doesn't get revealed, then I guess I'm maining Villager.

If Ness doesn't get revealed, I may or may not be out.

 

[Celes]

Gah, Jigglypuff is the character I use most.
She's probably not making a comeback though.

Haters gonna hate!

I'm sure he'll be in Sm4sh. It sure is taking an awfully long time. I'm guessing we won't get any character mentions for awhile since Yoshi, Zamus, Sheik, Charizard, and Greninja were all announced today. I'm not really a Pokemon fan, but Greninja looks really awesome.

I have a feeling Greninja will be too OP atleast top tier

Probably. But also keep in mind that Sakurai said what you see in the video is still subject to change, so not everything is final. Maybe he'll be toned down like Lil Mac with his great ground game but bad aerial ability.

Oh please... Greninja? Pokemon has enough presence in this game and I would've chosen several other pokemon before Greninja :|

But I'm happy Yoshi was announced. I was really getting worried they made a stupid decision to get rid of Yoshi o-o

Salty because no Mewtwo, gg no re, but honestly, who else would be a good choice than a speedy ninja like pokemon, not forgetting to mention that Greninja is rather a strong Pokemon in general.

Greninja's a great yet unexpected choice, which makes it a lot more hype worthy.

Since I am lazy, I am just going to post what I said on another forum.

I feel it was mediocre. I can careless about stages, characters, movesets, or even online for that matter etc. I wanted to hear more about the modes and gameplay LOCALLY. Also, I don't care for the 3DS version.

Online will probably be great because you are matched up with players of your own skill level and there are rules, but I never played Smash for the online. In fact, I never even experienced Brawl online. To be honest, I never experienced any of the online for any of the last gen consoles. And really, I had no problem playing against the computer.

Spoiler: A little concern that I have that everyone will probably disagree with and crap

But one thing with the rules is that I hope parents teach their children according to them. What I mean is, some younger players (under 10 or 8 years old) are really likely to leave battles because they are losing (I was one of those kids who would do that) and obviously, they will not excuse actions according to age. I don't want any child to be penalized because they don't know any better.

Also, I wish the wii u version had smash run, because I am really scared about this game being to heavily focused on multiplayer. Like I said in another thread, I hope this game doesn't become a game I will buy and play for a few weeks and then rarely play it because I have no friends. And for anyone who says fighting games are for multiplayer, that's not true. It is very possible to make a fighting game with good singleplayer and multiplayer.

Anyway, I guess I should end this off with good notes........

I'm sorry, I know I am basically going to enter the flame realm by saying this, but I don't have any good notes. The presentation is just a disappointment. It seems like he was just trying show off stuff for the non-general demographic like professionals, players who really only play this for the online, and people who only grab this out every now and then to play this with their freinds.

Here is my evidence

He always is talking about trying balance out characters. I have no problem with this, but Smash fans like me won't care about this or even observe this. Only professionals and stuff would care about that. He has basically made a "professionals" mode and "professionals" stages. I know this seems like jumping to conclusions, but I really only feel that some of these rules were created just for those who are butthurt over dumb stuff because reporting people for some of this stuff sounds like something a 5 year old would say. "Mom, he keeps quitting!" "Dad, he keeps hitting me!". Speaking of which, what the heck is self destructing? Is that when you overuse your shield? If so, why would you report someone for that? If someone did that, all I would say is "free higher rank for me, yay!"

Overall, even before this, I really don't feel excited for this game, no matter what. But I really want to. I know this sounds vain. But I feel sakurai is making choices with this game that is rather questionable to me and I am hoping that he isn't turning the Smash series into something I personally will lose interest of in the future.

The reason why this concerns me is because Smash (the original) is what got me into video games and even Nintendo themselves. Without it, I don't know what would have became of me as a gamer. Would I be as interested in it as I am today? Would I be a fan of something else instead of Nintendo? I don't know. I just hope he can turn things around at least for me.

YOU MAY BEGIN THE STONING!

To be honest, I'm kinda worried about Ness or Captain Falcon not being announced yet...I know that both are normally surprise characters, but honestly, both Captain Falcon and Ness are special to me in some way...and I want them to be truly confirmed, not photoshopped and leaked. :/

 

[keybug55]

I played with Charizard on his own in various hacks of Brawl, so happy he's getting to be on his own now~

Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, and Greninja? That's kinda a lot of pokemon they're pushing for.

 

[Kip]

Was not expecting Greninja.


All i need is Rosalina, Wii Fit Trainer and Villager. I seriously cant wait until E3. They'll definitely announce Captain Falcon then.

 

[Hyoshido]

Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, and Greninja? That's kinda a lot of pokemon they're pushing for.

Pikachu, Pichu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo in Melee
Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Pokemon Trainer in Brawl
Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, Greninja in Smash 4.

It's been kept at 4 slots since Melee, It might be 5 in Smash 4 if they say Jiggly returns.
I don't think it's alot IMO, Got alot of Pokemon from Pokeballs as it is, Would be nice to give some others a chance.

 

[AppleCracker]

Greninja? Give us Mewtwo back!

 

[Kildor]

I expected Vanilluxe to be a standalone in SSB4. Oh well.
They could give Greninja stealth rock for the lulz. I am SUPER HYPED about Lucario though! He's my favorite pok?mon!
Disappoinred that the stages in WiiU looked better and has cooler animations. But we're getting a Smash game, so no other complaints.

You and me both, man. The 3DS version is coming out this summer and we haven't seen any mention of Ness and the Captain. I love EarthBound and F-Zero, so I'd really like to see these two. But if my two favorites don't join the fight, then I'm surely going to use Villager and Charizard. Not sure who else I'd go for. Maybe Samus.

 

[bloomwaker]

I was pretty surprised by the amount of people that thought Greninja was Mewtwo. Maybe I'm just a dork for realizing it was Water Shuriken right away, though. ;;'

I think Greninja fits the Smash Brothers Style pretty well, and I'm pretty excited for both Pokemon. I thought I wouldn't be as excited as I was during the Mega Man reveal but as they were showing those characters at the end of the Direct, I was hoping for a reveal, and it was great.

I thought Greninja was going to be Mewtwo, but that's most likely because of the silhouette and the fact that I don't play Pokemon. Really happy about the standalone Charizard.

 

[Javocado]

Well I'm glad that the 3Ds version comes out first because that means we will have a full character roster confirmed by the summertime
