Super Smash Bros. Universe - Rumors, Speculation and Hype

[doc O. Mire]

I think nintendo should definitely look into creating user friendly yet very flexible editing tools so people could create their own stages, missions and characters without having to be expert hackers. It is something few games have accomplished and could be very big in helping show nintendo's evolution if they could manage to do it

It would also be great to see nintendo enter into the world of online gaming and make it possible to host entire tournaments across countries

And last nintendo needs to find a way to cater to all of their fans, with friendly controls for casual players and hidden techniques and combos for the hardcore audience (but no chain grabs!!! )

I like that idea. They could make the next Smash Bros game Nintendo's version of Little Big Planet. It could be a complete game of its own with the modular capability to be made into almost anything the devious players can come up with (starring Nintendo's most loved characters!). Hurry! Someone talk about this out loud in front of a Nintendo product so they can hear it in time!

It would also be great if 3rd parties got involved to add their characters to the series, kinda like Super Smash Flash verion 2.0

I know I am going to get a lot of hate mail for this, but I want SSB4 to feel more like the first one then the other two. I am sorry, but I just felt that the first one balanced the fighting game and party game elements more than the other ones. I also thought the characters were better balanced, the stages were more fun, you couldn't spam like crazy, and there were no cheap deaths. So in the end, I thought the first one was the best of the three, and think the fourth one should follow in its footsteps. FLAME SHIELDS UP!

[AngusRidley]

Yeah, more Mega Man and Sonic is what i want. Also, a Space Pirate or Bounty Hunter definitely deserves a spot. And, finally, RIDLEY4PLAYABLECHARACTER!

[Infinity's End]

I hope Ridley is never playable. He deserves to be placed on a tier that you can't control. I also just hate the thought of shrinking him down. He just loses integrity that way. His tail is at least as long as he is, if not longer.

I hope ZSS is selectable from the get-go. I felt she wasn't a good addition to Samus, but I've heard otherwise from hardcore ZSS players. Who knows. I didn't like the way Samus was slowed down in Brawl, though.

Other hopeful additions:

• Ryu and/or (old-school) Megaman
• Tails or Dr. Eggman/Robotnik
• RICHTER Belmont. Him or possibly even Alucard.
• Samurai Goroh or Jody Summer.
• Bub & Bob as a complement to the Ice Climbers.
• A Moogle, Chocobo, or Cactuar. Hell, even Cloud would be pretty badass too.
• Krystal from the StarFox universe (please, no more effing Fox clones, though )
• Waluigi

Oh and of course Armstrong Houston, but the game would probably explode from his awesomeness.

[*]A Moogle, Chocobo, or Cactuar. Hell, even Cloud would be pretty badass too.

Lol. It is funny because it is impossible!

Of course it would be impossible but it doesn't make it any less badass.

I would love to add Crono or Magus from you know where(big surprise coming from me )
Crono's final smash is is delta force triple tech with Marle and Lucca where two of them go in the top two corners and one goes in the bottom center of the screen.
Magus' final smash would be him slashing someone with his scythe and while they're stunned he uses dark matter on them.

This new Super Smash Bros game needs some gunners since Snake was in Brawl.
So here are my picks ::

- Leon Kennedy from the Resident Evil series (though he was a rumored character to be on Brawl though, but never make the cut...how sad)
- Chris Redfield (Resident Evil)
- Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)
- Claire Redfield (Resident Evil)
- Annnd...I think Krauser (Resident Evil) could make a good assist trophy.

The Resident Evil series has tons of games from Nintendo, that the characters totally deserves to be in the new Super Smash Bros. AM I RIGHT???

[Drana]

LEON POWALSKI!

It must happen. Best StarFox character hands down.

[kronoridley]

[*]A Moogle, Chocobo, or Cactuar. Hell, even Cloud would be pretty badass too.

Lol. It is funny because it is impossible!

Of course it would be impossible but it doesn't make it any less badass.

Look at the underlined words. No it wouldn't. It would be interesting to put Kefka, but Cloud?! Just no.

[doc O. Mire]

I really hope they make a classic mode for the game so I don't have to create new custom maps and set up stamina mode every time I want a more traditional fighting experience with nintendo characters

Also, a story mode that ties together the many franchises with characters from them instead of making new ones would be great (Ganon, Bowser and Ridley would make a wonderfully horrid team )

Last for now, it would be nice to have a patching system so we don't get incredibly overpowered and underpowered characters (i.e. meta knight and ganondorf)

Krystal from the StarFox universe (please, no more effing Fox clones, though )

There are rumors I heard a while ago which I cannot confirm, so take what I will say with a grain of salt.

If I recall well, there was a official poll waaay back in 2006., asking people which of the characters they wanted to see as a playable character in Brawl, promising that characters with most votes will be added in the game (don't take my info as correct though). Krystal was one of the most voted characters and even though, she wasn't tossed in the game, but instead of her Wolf was added, and fans were confused and disappointed. Reason why did this occur? Well, some sources claim that even though the poll was put up, there were some characters, Wolf included, that were already coded in the game. Why not simply replacing or adding new characters then? No one knows. As I said, a mere rumor. I miself doubt Krystal will be making an appearance in SSB games in near future.

Oh and of course Armstrong Houston, but the game would probably explode from his awesomeness.

Houston is the Kenshiro of the Metroid universe-none of his foes would remain in one piece after he's done with them

[Infinity's End]

Smash Bros. 4 is NOT currently in development.
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but...

[Naner]

Well, that was pretty much a fact since its announcement, because Sakurai and his team are still finishing Kid Icarus Uprising. That article, however, has a pretty deceptive headline. "No plans whatsoever" would normally imply that he doesn't want to work on the game. However, in this case, it actually mean he hasn't started thinking about new features and content, which is acceptable.

I'm sure that, by the end of 2011, development will have begun.


... I hope that developing for two platforms at the same time won't make the process too slow...
