Super Smash Bros. Universe - Rumors, Speculation and Hype

At least there will most likely be a new one at some point. We'll just be... waiting a while. D:


In terms of speculation and just outright wishful thinking, it would be cool if we got:

~Any Megaman or Castlevania
~Sir Arthur of Ghosts N' Goblins
~Bomberman
~At least one other playable Metroid character/creature. It could be anything. Anthony, one of Ridley's forms, a Space Pirate, etc. Costumes, etc. for Samus are cool, but having another option would rock.
~A little more love for Mario RPG, even if it's just a trophy, assist, or some more music.
~Boy/Girl/Sprite from Secret of Mana maybe, or some Crono Trigger characters?
~If they have to put in more Mario stuff, hopefully Kamek, some Koopa Kids, Fawful, or something.

Sora's website says that they plan to start their next project sometime in October. I imagine Kid Icarus will go gold in July, following a release in August or September in Japan. After a brief vacation period, and a session of hiring, Smash 4 should start production.

Ever heard of the godawful SSB ripoff, DreamMix TV World Fighters? Also, if you didn't already know, Arthur is a playable char. in MvC3. The GnG stage is amazing.

I'm guessing it's very likely that your Mii will be a playable character. Ryu Hayabusa would also be insanely awesome.

[Mr. McIHOP]

GIVE ME ANTHONY HIGGS AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER. Also, alternate costumes. ie: Mario gets his doctor outfit, samus gets fusion suit, (an actual one, this time)

[Zeroº]

It should have the following multiplayer mode: Stage Mayhem (insert better name, please)

2 or more players pick their fighters and smash each other to bits while 1 player gets to build/rebuild the stage in real-time with the UTabletMote (with restrictions). The fighter-controlling players would be aiming to off the other fighters and survive the player-controlled stage, while the stage-controlling player would be aiming to cause the player-controlled to fighters to self-destruct/die by hazard.
The mode would likely work best under a time-limit.
Items would be not be stage-builder controlled, if they even appeared at all.
The stage-builder would not be able to create pits at will, which leads to the introduction of:
Stage-builder-specific items. Such items would allow the creation of pits, hazards, decorations meant to make things look pretty and confuse the other players, etc.

Youtube videos show that it is indeed amazing. This is why I should pay attention to franchises that are on systems I don't own. That basically rocks.
Had not heard of Dream Mix TV World though. It looks pretty special. D: (What is Optimus Prime even doing there?) I guess that rules out Bomberman/Simon Belmont.

And yeah, hopefully Ryu will very likely make it in. He would kick ridiculous amounts of ass.

Next Smash should also contain a legion of Lemmings.

Snake was in that game, and now is in Smash Bros., so I guess it does not rule out any character.

I stand corrected! Good to know.

charictars we need: Dark Samus, Metroid, Marx, Daisy, Toad, Toadette, Metroid prime, Metal Sonic, Anthony, Ridley, And X.

[Naner]

Dark Samus, Metroid prime

Those are the same being. I guess they could work as a shape-shifter like Zelda, but I believe just Dark Samus would be better.

Metroid and X

How would that work?

Daisy, Toad, Toadette, Metal Sonic

Clones and more clones...?

Anthony, Ridley

OK, I guess. Anthony would work fine, and Ridley can be done if they really want it.

[Remnants]

Give Marth some functioning balls already. Even I got fed up of making fun him.

*cough*
Alterante costumes/designs. Anyone else wanted the Arachnid-X Boss theme to be introduced? I think it would've fit pretty well in Frigate Orpheon. What about trophies that have an animation?

[doc O. Mire]

With all of the clones in the smash bros games, there are a few characters that I think should be replaced with ones who have their own, completely unique moveset:

1) Ganondorf, clone of Captain Falcon: could be replaced with Vaati, Skull Kid, or the real Ganon (and hopefully the new character wouldn't be quite so slow

2) Toon/Young Link, clone of Link: Toon Link is probably one of my favorite brawl characters, but he really reflects what the original should be like, light on his feet, using fast attacks, etc.

3) Lucario, not really a clone, but replacement of Mewtwo: Mewtwo is much more iconic than the aura wielding jackal-like pokemon. I personally would like to have him back

4/5) Falco/Wolf, clones of Fox: don't need to be replaced, just need slightly more variation from the original

conversation with Darren and myself:
12:09:38 PM: how fucking awesome would a Phantoon Other M stage in SSB4 be?
12:09:47 PM: you could have phantoon floating around
12:09:49 PM: hmm!
12:09:52 PM: now that could work
12:09:52 PM: every now and then his hands come and smash on you
12:10:03 PM: and he could suck everyone in or try to
12:10:08 PM: especially when it smashes through the window
12:10:12 PM: but then you'd get sucked into space
12:10:18 PM: yeah
12:10:48 PM: maybe that could happen towards the end, a bit like the metal gear stage where you see metal gears fighting
12:11:04 PM: well i would think of it like wispy woods
12:11:16 PM: it would suck you in for a bit
12:11:21 PM: actually, maybe gravity doesn't affect it...look at final destination
12:11:23 PM: if you get sucked in all the way and die, it's your fault

[fox mulder]

@IE

That sounds epic.
(Love that last line. )

[Death Recon]

that would work well. however, they'd probably try to throw in some kind of "phantoon has the ability to summon his eyeball creatures and ruin the game" bullshit. just have him break glass and smash some environment. like, cause dents in the floor.

another thing i've been thinking of: change some of the characters moves, specifically samus's. now that there's other m where she is incredibly nimble. i'm tired of her being a walking tank, it works in the actual games, but is atrocious in fighters. now she can sense-move instead of morph ball roll.
