Another SSB thread but on a different subject: why there is no story mode.

Source: Gamespot

The reason why: because Brawl's cutscenes were put on the internet.

Okay, Sakurai. You had a legit reason for not wanting a fighting game character into Smash, but this is pathetic reasoning.

Thoughts?

This is shit.

Rushed game confirmed?

Don't think it really needs one anyway.

Mortal Kombat 9 showed you can quite easily infuse story-telling into fighting games. Context makes everything better.

This.

Besides the other Smash Bros Games didn't have them. Brawl was the only one to have something of a "story".

-I'll give you that one

-Debatable. Some fighting games with less characters can be regarded as superior than ones with MORE characters. See: MK9 vs MK Armageddon or DBZ Budokai 3 compared to the Tenkaichi games

So yeah, a bit too early.

Yeah Like the Story mode in Smash Bros was worth anything. 

I think you guys are overrating it a bit.

This must be because of the stupid 3DS version.

Nintendo is becoming more asinine by the day. Their choices regarding both their consoles and their games have been flat out moronic.

Bull shit story. I bet they are just under pressure to get it out as quickly as possible.

Damn now everybody has to unlock the characters the old fashioned way :P that's the only real loss here.bbkkristian

Yep, but apparently people in this thread REALLY liked Brawl's Story.

Also people go play Project X Zone if you really want Fanfiction to come to life.

Question: did you guys actually enjoy the Subspace Emissary? I swear, before this was announced, everybody hated it. Most crossovers stories suck. Are we really losing anything here?bbkkristian

I don't hate the game. I haven't played enough of it to get the story. :P

but come on man, It feels so Fanfictiony. Do you know what I mean?

Personally I thought the SSE wasn't anything special but, the reasoning behind not including a story is BS. I would rather they brought back Adventure Mode from Melee. I thought that was superior anyways :P 

Ya know what? To replace the SSE, give us an adventure mode or another mode where we face Video game bosses. Because I did enjoy facing Rayquaza and Ridley. I would love to see oversized characters get some love.bbkkristian

you mean All-Star Mode?

They are rushing it out the door because Wii U sales are tanking, the limited roster sucks as well

That's a BS reason, but who the hell wants a story mode in a fighting game? Just give me the target tests, homerun contest, and various other mini games based around the fighting mechanics and that's more than enough.

I actually like it that way. The Subspace Emissary made it too easy to get every character.

I think it's stupid that they make you unlock all the characters. They should give you the entire roster at the start.

I've always thought unlockables are one of the best part of games like this. It's fun unlocking stuff, including characters.

Story for this type of games are just lame. Look at Dissidia.rjdofu

I'm kinda neutral on the lack of a story mode here. The game play of the story was okay, but the story was kinda meh. I just hope they replace it with something.
