Sakurai Finally begins first work on Smash bros Wii U/3DS

You know I would really like for them to shake things up and change the gameplay to a traditional fighter.kage_53

And if they did that, what would make the Smash Brothers stand out from Street Fighter outside of having Nintendo characters? We have enough fighters that are based on Street Fighter II's and Virtua Fighter's formula, there's no need for Smash Brothers to go in that direction. To be honest, alot of the reason why I pefer Smash Bros over other fighters is due to its gameplay.

I like the idea of stage control(something that rarely matters in most fighting games) and the fact that characters have total freedom of movement. As much as I like Street Fighter, I think Nintendo would make a horrible mistake if they went that direction. If Smash played like all the other fighting games on the market, then what would make it unique outside of Pikachu and Mario being playable.

We have enough traditional fighters on the market as it is. There's no need to mess with Smash's formula. If we do that, then why don't we also turn Mario Kart into Gran Trusmio with Mario characters?

I wouldn't be against it, but it would certainly scare away casual gamers.

Brawl sold +10 million copies for one simple reason, people just wanted to have fun beating the s**t out of Nintendo characters.

Or maybe its because people like me like Smash's formula? If we take away the insane stages and random items for a moment, you'll see that Smash Bros' gameplay is unquie.

Smash would still sell if we replaced the forumla with 1 on 1 matchups between Nintendo characters. But at that point, anything that made Smash Bros unique or special is tossed out the window. Gone are the percent gauges, the idea that simply damaging your opponent is not enough to win, emphasis on stage control, emphasis on understanding your character and how they are capable of moving, the fact that weight does matter between characters, and the simple gameplay that does not require mastery of insane combos.

But at that point, its no longer Smash Brothers. Its Street Fighter or Virtua Fighter with a Nintendo coat of paint. We have enough 1 on 1 fighters on the market already. Do we really need another one, but with Nintendo characters?

Its not about casuals or the ease of play. Its about tossing out Smash Brother's unquie approach to fighting games and simply becoming another 1 on 1 fighter.

remake Meele with better graphics

Brawl sucked, the only good thing about Brawl was Sonic smashing that Angel from Evangelion... i think it was from Eva

I hope it is more like melee and less like the clunky mess that Brawl is.

[QUOTE="Miroku32"]Let's see: get rid of useless characters like Lucas but keep most of the cast from Brawl. Add characters like Shulk, Melia, Fiora, Daisy, someone else from Metroid, Megaman, Shadow the Hedgehog, Raiden, remove that stupid tripping that killed my joy in brawl, and make it play like Melee.
