I´m pretty sure the Nintendo Switch-Port of Smash 4 is already finished and Nintendo is sitting on it :-/
If he stays on just to advise and make sure the game doesn't lose its unqiue feel that's fine. Maybe now we can get a stage hazard toggle like everything else in the game having a toggle.
Lol what? Just because the fan community has a specific ruleset that's been worked on for over a decade doesn't mean game designers are going to use that for a certain mode. I get wanting more stages for For Glory, but to say he's trolling by making it Omega Stages is ridiculous.
The same dude removed it next game which in turn means he listened to community feedback. You are also ignoring all the good he has done for this series and nitpicking things that aren't perfection.
Same. I guess this is the main point of contention here when it comes to wanting Sakurai back or not. Whether or not you want another game like Melee.
Sure you can criticize, but calling him a troll for not having Battlefield or Smashville in FG is a poor thing to say and untrue. Japanese rulesets are very limited compared to the west. Smash 64 used only Dreamland, Melee used only FD and Battlefield, Brawl used only FD, Smashville, and Battlefield. Nintendo also doesn't make their rules based off fan rules as seen by their Smash tournament.I appreciate the good. Now time to step aside.
Miyamoto is a genius, but can still be criticized for shit like wii music, star for zero, and destroying paper Mario.
Appreciation and criticism not mutually exclusive.
The fact the tripping was ever in shows a fundamental issue. Namco probably pushed against including it.

And honestly as a fan of this series since Smash 64, I would only play on FD for "competitiveness" until I got involved with the tournament scene.
Please. Stop helping you've done more than enough.
Didn't the Star Wars movies drop noticeably in quality after Lucas departed from the franchise?
Online is fine? I've played a ton of Smash 4 online with randoms and friends. I can play one on one, teams or free-for-all. I don't really get where you're coming from with this.I think that the sucky online is Sakurais way of insisting you play the game the way he wants (locally).
The game seems to be thriving competitively and casual players have always loved the game. I'm not sure what the issue is there. I'd love stage hazard toggles, but it's a pretty minor request. Online seems to work just fine for me.I hope he's not the director.
He created an amazing template for Smash, but his stubbornness is keeping the series from fulfilling it's potential.
The game needs better online, better local party modes, a better balance between competitive and casual play, and more customization options (stsge hazard toggles, etc.)
He's like George Lucas. Created an amazing series but he needs to let go of his baby as he's actively hurting it.
I can't really see how this true at all. What games are advancing this genre?This is pretty much how I feel as well. Smash has stagnated in terms of gameplay, features and online offerings, so it's about time for some advancements imo.
Stahp.Pretty much how I feel
I have little interest in another Smash if it's just Brawl 3
Again, the game is thriving competitively, and I've never heard casual players say the game is hard to play.A definite improvement over brawl.
But Smash 4 was lacking for competitive play and it's incredibly inaccessible to beginners because every match is a clusterfuck.
Classic mode? Senseless clusterfuck when it used to be nice and simple with fan service.
Stages change way too quickly or have hazards that can be removed.
Lowest item frequency too high.
The board game mode? Interesting idea but horrible execution. Again just a confusing clusterfuck.
8 player smash? Confusing clusterfuck.

Lol thought the same thing
A smash without him has the chance to actually bea good game. Nintendo should have just hired the Project M team.

I use wireless and could play matches without lag. Do you want some of us to pretend it was shitty for us when it wasn't?I used a wired connection and I'm baffled that some of you are defending the online in Smash 4. Like, I could tolerate the fairly poor online offerings in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and I can't stand the online in Smash 4.
The series is nor hurting at all lol. The fuck you talking aboutI hope he's not the director.

The best game in the series, Melee, is, not coincidentally, the one Sakurai had the least amount of influence on due to being rushed heavily. Really makes you think...

That's just my interpretation based on his prior statements and actions.
This attitude is prevalapr even in his other games like kid Icarus uprising.

Can we not turn this thread into a shitty Melee vs Smash 4 one?
I didn't compare it to other platform fighters.I can't really see how this true at all. What games are advancing this genre?
I didn't compare it to other platform fighters.
And one such advancement would be to allow parties to search for randoms. For example, why can't I party up with an online friend and search for 2 randoms to play against? Then there's being able to play with settings we want, like stock matches and anything other than Omega stages in the unnecessarily limited selection of playlists. etc.
The sooner Smash moves on without this loser the better.
Maybe it can get the mechanical design and balance patches needed to be a better competitive game. The community has done so much to make Melee and Smash 4 what they are today, so Nintendo and the like need to accept that we want a quality fighter and embrace that.
Dude what the fuck.

...I just want to love smash again. If homeboy is gonna be tripping on his own shoelaces for the 3rd time in a row, I could not give a single fuck when there are several other fighting games I like that actually reward you for putting in the work to get good, with no bullshit thrown in. Even Pokken, as a first effort filled to the brim with beam spam meta, is a more compelling title.
You can pick a character like Jack 7 or Lucky Chloe in Tekken 7 and win tourneys and otherwise smash faces with them, but in Smash 4 if you pick Gannon or Wii Fit and even try be 100% serious you're gonna have a bad time. That's stupid, and reworks like PM - where everyone is awesome - show what missed potential modern smash is.
