'''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS '''and '''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U '''(大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U ''Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu fō Nintendō Surī Dī Esu / Wī Yū'', lit. '''''Great Fray Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''''') unofficially known as '''Super Smash Bros. 4''', is a Nintendo 3DS and Wii U game. It was developed by Namco Bandai Games Inc. and Sora, and was published by [[Nintendo]]. Both games are officially considered the fourth and fifth installments.

==Development==
</div>
 
  +
According to the game's lead developer, Masahiro Sakurai, development on the had not begun at the time of its announcement, and would not begin until the completion of Sakurai's other project, ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. For the 3DS version, Sakurai wants it to be more of an "individual" and "customizable" experience where, hypothetically, the player could take a customized player and upload it to the Wii U version. He also commented on the possibility that some Capcom character could appear (It is Mega Man) in the next ''Smash Bros.'' The big problem, though, comes from the idea of trying to get a character from a completely different universe to fit the style that has been dictated by Nintendo's characters in a fighting game. ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'' was co-developed by Namco Bandai.
   
=== '''DLC''' ===
+
==New Changes==
  +
* Many characters have different moves in each direction they face, so they'll be facing the screen more often. With new animations, it may mean their attacks and moves will have new animations.
  +
* Damage percent numbers are no longer a fully solid color, they now appear metallic, and pass through green and yellow colors, instead of fading from white to dark red.
  +
* The visual affects of attacks' stand out more. They now have bright saturated blurs replacing the previous game's subtle less colorful ones.
  +
* The smoke trail effect made by characters taking high knockback have been replaced with a trail of bright light instead of smoke, representing which player will get the KO.
  +
* In an interview with Kotaku, Sakurai has stated that the tripping mechanic will not return. No longer will the characters randomly trip in the middle of combat.
  +
* Sakurai has stated there will no longer be a story mode, and no cutscenes during single player mode. He didn't give much information on what single-player mode will consist of.
  +
* Sakurai also said there will be short movies for introducing new characters, and you can view them without having them unlocked.

==Amiibo==
 
{{main|Amiibo|l1=Amiibo}}
 
Amiibos are part of a new system introduced for Smash Bros. for WiiU and 3DS, that uses near field communication through special figurines of the respective characters, that can be bought separately. Through this, players bring the characters to the game as special CPU player, which can level up and be customized, learning more as they improve and interact with the player and other CPUs.
 
 
==Stages==
 
==Stages==
{{main|Stage|l1=Stage}}
 
There are a total of 76 stages across both games; some are shared between versions (<nowiki>*</nowiki> indicates that the stage returns from a previous game) (**means that it is DLC). Some stages, such as Gaur Plains and Final Destination, are slightly different between the two versions. The Wii U version has 47 Stages, while the 3DS version has 34.

==Modes==
 
 
Much like previous installations, the new Smash Bros. have different modes, however some are exclusive for each version of the game. Unlike the previous game is there no official story mode.
 
 
=== Smash Mode and 8-Player Smash ===
 
Also known as "VS Mode", it is the traditional 4-player battle that can be done with either players or CPUs. Additionally, the Wii U version has the exclusive 8-Player Smash, which allow, as the name suggests, up to 8 players to play simultaneously, however the range of maps is smaller, meaning not all stages can be played with 8 players.
 
===Classic Mode===
 
{{main|Classic Mode|l1=Classic Mode}}
 
[[File:Classic_Mode_(3DS_version).jpg|center|200px]]
 
 
==== 3DS version ====
 
In the new, modified version of Classic Mode, players choose different paths as they progress through a "world map" to fight against waiting CPU opponents.
 
 
Other than battling the usual fighters in one-on-one fights, there is also the possibility of fighting giant or metal fighters, team battles with CPU players both aiding and attacking the player, and matches where the player must defeat opponents one after another or in groups.
 
 
Players are able to alter their "Fighter Balance": a system where gold is spent to adjust the intensity level. The higher the intensity, the stronger opponents will be, and the greater a player's rewards will be when victorious. Among those rewards are gold, trophies and items for character customization.
 
 
Before the player starts a level, a roller appears and determines the player's rewards. Rewards in red are for customization, green ones are trophies, and yellow means gold.
 
[[File:Fighter_Scale.jpg|center|200px]]
 
 
==== Wii U version ====
 
In the Wii U version, the trophy of the player's character is put in an arena along with other characters' trophies. The player can move his trophy around the arena, and if it touches a group of trophies, it will be tossed into a battle with those characters (a faint image of the stage will be under the base of the trophies). After the fight, all the defeated characters' trophies will be launched out of the arena, and the remaining trophies will organize in new groups.
 
[[File:SSBWU Classic Mode.jpg|thumb|220x220px]]
 
Along with normal and 8-player matches, intruders may appear randomly before matches, being either metal or giants characters. In team battles, instead of a random CPU companion, you choose your partner from the characters you defeated in previous battles. There is also a rival that can be challenged anytime; the longer you wait to battle him, more powerful will be, but it will also give more rewards when defeated.
 
 
The Fighter Balance and Reward Roller are kept from the 3DS version.
 
 
This is also the first Smash Bros. game where Classic Mode allows two-player mode.
 
 
===Stadium Mode===
 
{{main|Stadium Mode|l1=Stadium Mode}}
 
[[File:Stadium.jpg|thumb|180px]]
 
A mode comprised of the Multi-Man Smash, the new Target Blast and the Home-Run Contest.
 
 
The score for these games effect the player's Global Smash Power, by either increasing or decreasing it, making each time count.
 
 
In '''Multi-Man Smash''' the player fights against all three types of Miis, with randomly generated appearances. Like in Smash Bros. Brawl, it allows two-player mode.
 
 
'''Target Blast''' is played similarly to Home Run Contest, in a nod similar to Angry Birds. However, players will be presented to a giant bomb instead of the Sandbag, and must inflict it enough damage to create the biggest explosion possible by racking up points from obstacles and targets waiting to be destroyed. Much like in Home Run Contest, there is a 10 second timer, and after it expires the bomb will explode. Getting a good score depends on launching the bomb to areas rich with targets, getting the timing of the explosion just right, and using the explosive blocks found around the stage to maximum effect. It allows two player mode, however in form of a versus battle: each player get its turn to launch the bomb, rather than both players racking up damage against the bomb simultaneously. The player with most points wins.
 
 
'''Home-Run Contest''' now features a strong barrier in the arena, allowing players to rack up damage for longer time. Like in Smash Bros. Brawl, it allows two-player mode.
 
   
  +
===Past Stages===
=== ''For Fun'' and ''For Glory'' ===
 
  +
* Dream Land (64) (''Kirby's Dream Land''; DLC)
Online gameplay has been completely reworked, where players can choose between two new modes:
 
  +
* Hyrule Castle (64) (''The Legend of Zelda''; DLC)
* For Fun: stage select is random (Final Destination is excluded from this), all items available, Smash battles only (free for all up to 4 players), and only wins are recorded.
 
  +
* Peach's Castle (64) (''Super Mario 64''; DLC)
* For Glory: stage select is restricted to Omega Stages (Final Destination-type variant of existing stages), no items available, 1-1 battles possible, and both wins and loses are recorded. Additionally, players can freely customize those rules when playing with friends.

amiibo are part of a new system introduced in Super ''Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U'', that uses near field communication (NFC) through special figurines of the respective characters, that can be bought separately. Through this, players bring the characters to the game as FPs (Figure Players), which can level up and be customized, learning more as they improve and interact with the Human Player, Computer Player, and other Figure Players. amiibo level up and learn faster by;

* Making it fight against other amiibo, (Including FP fighters that have aggresive A.I) Examples; Lucas, Lucina, Fox, Ness and so on.
====Master Orders====
 
  +
* Use the same fighter as the amiibo you're playing against.
Every time you enter this mode, 3 random-created challenges of varying difficulty and entry fee (gold) to play will be presented to the player; every challenge with different battle rules, special powers for fighters and even psychics laws like altered gravity. Each challenge can only be tried once, winning allows you to get the secret reward, if you fail you get nothing. After playing a challenge, a new set of 3 will appear.
 
  +
However, even higher leveled amiibo have their flaws on complex stages, like walking back and forth on stages like Gaur Plain. amiibo can also win prizes like; Gold, Custom Parts, Trophies, and Mii Fighter Gear. The longer the amiibo fights, the more prizes it will gain, and these items can be received when tapping the amiibo the owner's Wii U GamePad, New Nintendo 3DS/XL, New Nintendo 2DS XL or Nintendo 3DS NFC/Reader Writer Adapter. However, it should be noted that like CPUs, Figure Players have the ability to '''share their remaining Stocks''' with their defeated allies in Team Battles. As well as being able to throw healing items to assist their teammates.
   
  +
While Super Smash Bros. for Wii U natively supports amiibo, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS was unable to do so at launch. Version 1.0.5, released on February 9, 2015, added amiibo support for all Nintendo 3DS systems including Nintendo 2DS and New Nintendo 2DS XL.
==== Crazy Orders ====
 
It costs 5000 gold or a free pass to play this mode (free passes are gained by playing various modes, such as Classic and Smash Tour). In Crazy Orders, you have a 10-minute time to complete various challenges, similar to the ones in Master Orders, and 3 are presented in each "round", with your damage percent carried over in each round. You can stop at any time during this, bringing you against a Stamina fight with Crazy Hand. The more rounds you played, more powerful Crazy Hand will be at the end and it can even be accompanied by CPU characters. You will only get your rewards after beating Crazy Hand, if at any time you lose a challenge or run out of time, Crazy Orders will end and you'll only recieve a small portion of your reward stash.

Revision as of 03:22, 8 February 2019

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu fō Nintendō Surī Dī Esu / Wī Yū, lit. Great Fray Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U) unofficially known as Super Smash Bros. 4, is a Nintendo 3DS and Wii U game. It was developed by Namco Bandai Games Inc. and Sora, and was published by Nintendo. Both games are officially considered the fourth and fifth installments.

Development

According to the game's lead developer, Masahiro Sakurai, development on the had not begun at the time of its announcement, and would not begin until the completion of Sakurai's other project, Kid Icarus: Uprising. For the 3DS version, Sakurai wants it to be more of an "individual" and "customizable" experience where, hypothetically, the player could take a customized player and upload it to the Wii U version. He also commented on the possibility that some Capcom character could appear (It is Mega Man) in the next Smash Bros. The big problem, though, comes from the idea of trying to get a character from a completely different universe to fit the style that has been dictated by Nintendo's characters in a fighting game. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U was co-developed by Namco Bandai.

New Changes

  • Many characters have different moves in each direction they face, so they'll be facing the screen more often. With new animations, it may mean their attacks and moves will have new animations.
  • Damage percent numbers are no longer a fully solid color, they now appear metallic, and pass through green and yellow colors, instead of fading from white to dark red.
  • The visual affects of attacks' stand out more. They now have bright saturated blurs replacing the previous game's subtle less colorful ones.
  • The smoke trail effect made by characters taking high knockback have been replaced with a trail of bright light instead of smoke, representing which player will get the KO.
  • In an interview with Kotaku, Sakurai has stated that the tripping mechanic will not return. No longer will the characters randomly trip in the middle of combat.
  • Sakurai has stated there will no longer be a story mode, and no cutscenes during single player mode. He didn't give much information on what single-player mode will consist of.
  • Sakurai also said there will be short movies for introducing new characters, and you can view them without having them unlocked.
