Do you guys even care about the new Smash?

Serious question. I understand that the fourth installment is no Melee, as far as from what I, and others who played it at E3, could tell. There is also Project M, which from the last time I played was rather impressive.

I am just curious to know if you guys just take Sakurai as a joke now and don't really care about the gameplay, features, characters, etc.

Or did we all just grow up and moved on with our lives? (Somewhat considering we're still on IGN Smash Boards).

I thought Brawl was incredibly disappointing but I still love Smash as a whole. I went to Best Buy for the new demo and while I had very little time with it I'm cautiously optimistic. Hell, even vanilla Brawl was still fun for a while with irl friends. I'm not ready to write off Smash just because Brawl wasn't as good as it could have been.

Plus the thought of Smash being on handheld is probably the one thing I could ever ask for. I just hope the online is up to snuff.

Of course, I'm not about to start speculating and shit because lol

Getting Brawl at midnight and playing it all night with my buddy was some of the best fun I've ever had with video games - it was the game that we'd all play when my friends and I got together. After hundreds of hours though, brawl became stale. Honestly there hasn't been any local multiplayer game that has come close to filling the void that brawl has left. So yes, I am excited

I'm looking forward for it, that's honestly the most I can say. Whether it's because of the fact I'm 25 now or my job, I just don't get the level of hype or excitement from video games that I used to, so my energy is spent in other (worthwhile) activities.

I only came on Smash today because of the announcement and thought to check in.

It is a series me and my friends have been playing since about the year 2000. So I don't get particularly excited about it, or about any game, but I will be playing it. Sakurai is a joke, but the series is solid enough that the game should be fine still. It is far too early to really judge anything about Smash 4 from a competitive point of view, the invitational was a bunch of people playing a party game for the first time. Even if it is solid competitively, I doubt it'll replace Melee anytime soon, because that is how this community is. I think Nintendo might try, if they do so I think competitive smash could die off almost entirely.

Its not like anyone here will be playing at a competitive level anyway. Get a few friends, get a few drinks, and it'll be enjoyable enough to play.

Ahhh, I remember a time when this board was active and lively and full of intelligent opinions and debates...good times, good times.

On topic, nah. I'm not to excited about it. I probably wont be getting a Wii U to play it on so my hype level decreases greatly. However, I will buy it on the 3DS, and at most, you could say, I'm highly interested in the game.

Well put.

Smash is almost nostalgic to me because I started playing Smash 64 with my brother when I was about 4. Melee came out when I was 6 (I think), and became the series, along with Zelda, I continued to play through my life. I am looking forward to Smash because of how many different characters are available. I figure with Smash, the more characters, the better. Almost like playing DragonBall Z games, although weren't the best, I could choose my favorite character from watching the show.

Unfortunately, I'll still feel let down because of the lack of characters in Smash as well. Unless there is DLC and download new characters, then cool. But I don't see that happening. There was no reason to get rid of Mewtwo, Roy, Pichu, and Dr. Mario. There should still have been some implementation. Again, the more characters, the better. Or add the most wanted characters, such as Ridley, Rayman, whomever they can. Look at Hyrule Warriors, they are adding everyone they can it seems.

Melee is the best competitive Smash yet, but I also doubt Smash 4 will compare. Which is fine because as Frish said, just grab some buddies and play up. Brawl was good for that for a time. I didn't realize how obnoxious it was to play it until I played Melee and went back to Brawl. From there, I couldn't do it anymore. Instead, I still play Melee.

The series is great and all, but we've all assimilated to a particular play style now, or tradition, or whatever it may be to be difficult for everyone to become satisfied with the game.

Brawl was such a huge disappointment that I have trouble getting too excited for this one. I expect the worst but I would love to be proven wrong. If Smash4 isn't a gigantic fail then I might buy a WiiU.

If you liked Melee, try Project M. It's insanely good. Has Mewtwo and Roy, only need an SD card.

Oh yeah, I've played Project M and I thoroughly enjoyed it and was impressed. I actually tried it in all of its phases of development too, so I remember playing through their progression. I also liked playing the modded versions of Brawl, such as Brawl Minus. It was designed for more party play where goofy things would happen, like Ganondorf's punch causing 999%.

I would care more about the new Smash Bros. if Nintendo would show me more reasons to care. Cool new characters, stages, improvements on stage builder, additional modes that sound fun, 5 players, cool boss battles, and things of that sort would help get me hyped. Right now, I'm pretty much hyped for Little Mac, Mega Man, and the possibility that the gravity will be fun on Mario Galaxy stage. So, I care a little.

Pretty much this.

I would stay up until 3 in the morning just to see a Brawl update, then check back here to talk about it. I remember when Brawl finally came out in Japan & we were getting everything leaked. This board threw a freakin' party. Now this place seems borderline dead...

That said, I don't get really excited about games that much anymore, but I'm hyped as hell for this game. Already have my 3DS preorder paid off. October 3rd can't get here soon enough!

Well [URL='http://www.ign.com/boards/members/dillo64.649845/']@Dillo64[/URL] writes MLP Fanfiction & draws MLP & Sonic Fan Art while [URL='http://www.ign.com/boards/members/bluephantom88.4327354/']@bluephantom88[/URL] is also a Sonic Fan.

Don't fucking insult me. I haven't drawn Sonic fanart in like a decade and the only fanfiction I've written for it since then are in parody of how awful Sonic fanfiction is. It sickens me that you think I'd stoop so low.

Oh, and don't fucking flatter me. I am not NEARLY skilled enough to write something as gripping and compelling as MLP fanfiction. For that I can only dream.....
