Super Smash Bros. General v26 - 🃏 THE SHOW'S OVER 🃏 - Games

Mr. Game & Watch says "hi"

It’s more about Sakurai’s ability to translate them well anyways. I think Joker was a really lame conservative way of having a stand fighter or summoner character but I still think the idea has a lot of potential. Likewise Banjo Kazooie have so many moves that you could come up with any number of gimmicks or archetypes for them; projectile heavy zoner with eggs, a stance-swap character where Down-B has you Talon Trot changing up your animations and attacks to be more Kazooie-centric etc. That doesn’t mean he’ll end up being a fun character, though.

We've had the dumbass Minecraft Steve discussion at least 30 times Almost every actual reason for wanting Steve in isn't because of Minecraft being a good candidate, it's because: or whatever other dumb contrarian argument there is. Same thing with Waluigi. People don't genuinely want Waluigi in. They want him in because the funni memes like Waluigi time and how frequently he's made fun of by the Smash games.

you wanna go? i genuinely wanted waluigi in since brawl because i like waluigi as a character. but feel free to keep waving that off as "it's just memes"

The difference is G&W had dozens of sprites to build his kit around, Minecraft Steven has 4 animations total.

Minecraft would be perfect as a stage + assist trophy as a bonus for buying Banjo.

I still pretty much expect that DLC Fighter #2 will be Crash next week to line up with CTR:NF along with going live that day and that they'll tease Banjo at the end of the direct as Fighter #3 for August (or vice versa between the two). (I'll hold out for fighters #4 & #5 to be Ryu Hyabusa and Doom Slayer)

Maybe because he'd be a rep for literally one of the biggest games ever made? From one of the biggest selling games on the switch? or how he has a million different things that could be implemented into his moves? really easy to say "they just want him for memes" when you ignore every actual argument

nah but actually speaking, if steve were added he would basically be obligated to have a move like pacman's bonus fruit and hydrant merged together so that you could place blocks of differing effects/durabilities let him place like 5 blocks and there you have it, minecraft steve edgeguarding with obsidian and comboing off of stacks of cobblestone

I'm neutral about Steve/Alex on smash, I do love the idea of a Minecraft stage tho

I think a stage would be perfectly fine. If anything, the world of Minecraft represents the series much better than the character. IMO

Up B: Elytra + Firework Side B: fishing rod Down B: place tnt B: place block, placing order is dirt, wood, cobble. Hitting a block makes it fly back depending on its durability, dirt has the lowest, flies the farthest with the lowest damage and knock back, cobble being the highest knockback and damage but not flying far, wood is middle ground his boring animations seem like an issue but honestly they could just make his limbs rigid but allow them to move at angles you don’t see in the game you could do a simplified Monado type stuff with potions, or an EXP + enchanting sort of gimmick. There’s a ton of stuff you could do with him

Uhh I want Waluigi in as a rep for the Mario sports games. Rackets, dice blocks, golf clubs, soccer balls, all sorts of potential there.

A Minecraft stage would actually be pretty slick. Semi-randomly generated (in chunks of course) every time, and every block can be broken with enough damage or impact force. When the stage loads, it picks a random biome and makes a vertical slice of what it picks playable. In addition to biomes, it can also pick a cave (lava for KOs), the nether (same), or the end.

I feel like Crash would work really well for Smash because he has a pretty well-defined and iconic moveset - spin, slide, bodyslam - what with the platforming in his series being based all around those abilities. You get upgrades in Crash 3 and 4 that extrapolate on them like spin-glide and earthquake bodyslam or outright new moves like the bazooka, Twinsanity utilizes them in inventive ways with how you interact with Cortex and the environment, you get to double-jump in certain games, the series has a whole bunch of iconic items and level elements like the Aku Aku mask and all the different crates, and Crash has a lot of expressive animations to work from. It'd probably be real easy not only to give Crash himself a fun moveset, but to have an interesting Crash stage and plenty of good music to pull from. And I can't imagine that he didn't rank high on the fighter ballot, while we know several Ultimate newcomers got in due to the ballot, such as Simon and Ridley.

Worst part it's now people relates waluigi with the worst of the smash fanbase, thanks to those people who sent death threats to sakurai

Probably relatively easy to translate into smash Neutral special being his spin that works similar to ROB's arm rotor with the ability to mash/hold it down to extend it and get a small lift and horizontal distance as his ability from Crash 3. Downspecial being a Bellyflop similar in nature to Bowser and Yoshi's. Side special likely fit for the Bazooka from Crash 3. Up special would probably be his Jetpack from Crash 2 Likely somewhere between Mario and Sonic in speed, can't jump as high as Mario, but probably gets a lot more horizontal aerial distance/air movement. Him having a crawl crouch and dash kick as a running attack make sense, I suppose the biggest challenge would just be his non-special attacks, though I can't imagine it would be too hard. His taunts would be pretty easy to imagine, his infamous dance for sure, brief appearance by Aku Aku (like young link's fairy) and him looking at the player to shift his eyebrows (the animation from whenever he's about to ride a boar). Victory animations likely based on his dance, end of level coughing up a crystal/gem and "Ta da!" make the most sense.

Being able to jump out of his dashkick like in the games would be cool.

But they're clearly confirming Captain Falcon in that thumbnail.

F-Xero X Captain Falcon, thank you very much bigger eagle on his helmet.

Some dude from a game series that hasn't had a new game in 14 years? Captain Falcon will never be in smash no way no how. What move set would he even has? He never gets our of his car.

the rest of the dlc characters are just captain falcon

The difference is that Game & Watch's animation is limited in frames per second, while Minecraft character animation is limited in how dynamic they are. Mr. Game & Watch's movements may only consist of 2-4 frames of animations, but those frames can actually convey different, distinct poses, which is very important for a fighting game. Minecraft characters can, at best, only articulate their arms with absolutely 0 ability to bend them freely, which is all part of their aesthetic.

Unless it’s a file leak, do not ever, ever listen to ResetEra

Thing is, the guy who is leaking/teasing is actually has a perfect track record in his past leaks. Still, take it with a grain of salt, but this isn't the usual case of "it's THIS website, therefore disregard"

The potential of Steve being DLC is literally the only reason I haven't gotten a season pass yet or bought Joker. Legitimately any other character in gaming I'd be fine with, including Fortnite mooks. He doesn't fit the game design, his artstyle as a character would make the Virtua Fighter Akira trophy look like the statue of David in terms of nuance and fidelity and he's the most boring MIcrosoft choice, possible. If he gets announced and it isn't paired with a playable Banjo-Kazooie or Master Chief, I'm straight up not going to even consider buying the pass and will settle with the base roster + Piranha Plant. The most playable thing that Steve should be in Smash is a Mii Swordsman costume.

there is literally no way to make steve work in smash without it looking godawful (using the original model) or giving him realistic proportions, therefore making it pointless even adding him in. claiming game and watch is the same deal is absolutely absurd, g&w has noodle limbs that can move however the fuck they want. even if they went the minecraft story mode and gave steve more points of articulation, he'd still be horridly jarring and out of place

I don't like the G&W comparison, because Mr Game and Watch is made up of a compilation of exaggerated poses taken from a variety of games. Steve is a literal placeholder and the extent of his two or three animations are his arms swiveling back and forth.
