graffix arnt as gud as weyou virgin 0/10
Warning: Potential spoilers ahead.

It's the 3DS version of a series the Nintendo fanbase talk about all the time inbetween announcement and release. And by that I mean people begging for Ridley on Smashboards and Miiverse.

First off, I'm going to talk about why Mewtwo and Ridley should be playable the gameplay. It is much faster than Brawl, it isn't as fast as 64 or Melee though. There aren't many (discovered) exploits people call techniques like quickscoping wavedashing. You won't find any of that stuff. Several of the newcomers, like Little Mac and Shrek Rosalina & Luma, have their own cool mechanics people keep calling overpowered even though a crappy player like me can beat them. There are also some new playstyles, like Little Mac's amazing ground game but crap air game and Shulk has about five playstyles with them Monado arts.
Every newcomer (except Dark Pit and Lucina) feels unique. The stages are mostly small. It is understandable because of the 3DS's small screen. There are a lot of annoying stage hazards, which can be a pain and even ruins some stages. *cough* those flying men *cough*. My favourite new stage is Mute City.

I'm going to talk more about the roster. it ing sux bcuz no meyou2 er rildey Almost every newcomer deserved the slot (I said almost because Dark Pit and Rosalina & Luma aren't exactly Nintendo "all-stars". Duck Hunt Duo (who are actually a trio, despite the third member being unseen) are who I want to talk about. They're my new main. They're based on the Zapper arcade and NES games (Hogan's Ally, Duck Hunt & Wild Gunman). They basically camp all day with their cowboys, frisbees and cans. Their Smash attacks have good range and one of their aerials is a meteor smash. And the final smash. It's so good. Best thing reskinned from Captain Falcon ever (sorry Ganondorf).

I could speak about all the newcomers in detail, but I don't have that
time, so here:
Little Mac: The Garchomp of Smash Bros.
Dark Pit: Gotta love how Sakurai didn't add Wolf in Melee because he thought Wolf would look like a grey Fox recolour.
Lucina: She looks like that little girl's little sister, despite being a decendant.
Robin: The first FE character in Smash that doesn't share atleast one move with that little girl.
Greninja: Pokemon X/Y advert.
Wii Fit Trainer: Wait, WHA-
Bowser Jr: Kind of relevant and iconic I guess.
Rosalina & Luma: Those characters that apparently belong in Smash Bros despite appearing in three of the worst selling 3D Mario games (she had a minor role in two of them) and a few spin-offs.
Palutena: A support character.
Shulk: I'M REALLY FEELING IT!
Villager: I thought you said you wouldn't add any AC characters because they're too cute.
Megaman: Rise of the dead
Pac-Man: Basically the Duck Hunt Duo of Namco games.

Now let's get to the features.
There is a Classic mode and All-Star mode and a new mode called Smash Run which is basically City Trial and has modes we thought were cut like Stanima and Target smash inside. The other modes are basically what you'd expect out of an iPhone game with Smash gameplay. The camera isn't as good as Brawl's I really wanted to explore Peach's model but the music is amazing (specifically Star Wolf's theme and the Unova trio themes. They always make up for not reprsenting a Pokemon generation in Smash by making the remixes so good *cough*VICTORY ROAD*cough*). The online has been improved but if one of the players has a bad connection at times it can be unplayable.

It's score time. Drumroll please.
*Drumroll*
9/10!
+Good gameplay
+Great roster of characters and stages
+The modes are pretty fun
-Costum moves are so damn hard to unlock. You mostly get equipment. It takes SO LONG to get all the costum moves for one character.
-Rant in 3, 2, 1...
Spoiler: show
The removal of characters Wolf, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Lucas (sort of) and Mewtwo were completely unnecesary. Who cares if they'd be overrepresenting Pokemon? Those characters are unique. Wolf and Lucas did share moves with Fox and Ness but they did have their own moves. Lucas is incredibly irrelevant and only appeared in a Japan only game so that is kind of understandable though. Mewtwo is incredibly relevant and appeared in the latest Pokemon movie and was the most requested character (and my main). Ice Climbers should have been Wii U exclusive though. That's stupid. Snake, as much as I will miss him was reasonably removed. The others though should have been playsble. I guess DLC is always possible. Infact, with DLC there is no reason every character should come back.

No point for a review, 99.99% of the world's population knows how good it is.
Are you retro?

This game stopped being about "Nintendo all-stars" once Ness was introduced. Basically, IT HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT NINTENDO ALL-STARS. Plus, Rosalina is a very popular and recognizable Mario character. Sure, she is not at Mario's level, but plenty of children and adults know her and like her. Now look at Xenoblade. Tell me, how many people knew who Shulk was before Smash? Not many. Sure, he was popular among the fans of Xenoblade, but he's never been a very recognizable character. Also, third-party characters completely kill your argument.


Personally, I'm glad Mewtwo got cut. He was just another stupid, "edgy" Pokemon. We need more cute Pokemon, WHO AREN'T EEVEE OR IT'S EVOLUTIONS.

Also, the Galaxy games had bad sales. LOL. Shut up, Bean. I'm growing tired of your laughable attempts at downplaying Rosalina's inclusion.

^ Decent point for that first part.

BirdJesus (2014-10-18 15:59:33)
^ Please, tell me about how undeserving Ness and Shulk are.

^ Ness didn't deserve to be in Smash that much, as much as I hate to say it. He appeared in one game that sold really, really badly outside of Japan. SSB64 never was supposed to release outside of Japan though.
Shulk was highly requested and Xenoblade sold a decent amount of copies worldwide.

I like Ness and Shulk. They're my tertiary mains.

I have a personal, emotional relationship with each and every Flying Man.

Oh look, another faggot that wants more "cute" Pokemon.

^ Most cute Pokemon wouldn't work or would be crap anyway.

I'm not saying "cool" Pokemon are bad, we just have way too many of them.

If you want more cute pokemon, you're either a faggot, retarded, or... you know what the third option is.

Either way, your complaint is the most ridiculous thing I've heard yet. One more thing, Rosalina didn't deserve a slot.

And arrows for the character select screen. They'd have to be unlocked by Amiibo though. Releasing them as DLC then releasing their Amiibos would be a rip-off.
