Miis debunked!

[MIRAI87]

Okay, okay...it's not like anyone thought they were going to be playable anyway, BUT I think that based on this quote, we can safely say that Miis will not be utilized.
Taken from Iwata asks volume 2.

'Of course, I think there was a possibility of taking Smash Bros. in a more casual-gaming direction. For example, we could make the art style simpler or make it possible to use Miis. However, with the various titles that the Wii was to offer, I felt that people were looking for something different.'

 

[Xarias]

I saw that too, but didn't think it was really worth making a big deal about. I don't think many people really even WANT Mii's in Brawl.

 

[Chris of STARS]

I wanted Miis....I also thought it was a pretty good chance they'd be in. It would have been a really creative idea, but guess they didn't want it. Ah well.

 

[SOJ]

Nah...it would have been awesome to see a fight between Chuck Norris, Darth Vader, Zoidberg, and Hitler

Too bad...

 

[MAtgSy]

I don't like Nintendo's sentiment that miis don't appeal to the experienced gamer, when they never even given it a try.

 

[plasmatorture]

Anyone who actually had a problem with Miis being in the game is close-minded and hates fun.

I never expected them to be in but it would've been nice. This doesn't necessarily deconfirm them entirely, but it certianly makes their chances even slimmer than before.

 

[Blindman]

Mii's are in Brawl as character icons.

 

[Crystallion]

I wouldn't have liked them, although I think it would have been a very original idea and would have appealed to some people. But how would they have worked out? I can see how, but that's something I wouldn't have wanted.
But maybe, if there's an other SSB installation, there will be Miis ^^

 

[Pink Reaper]

awwwwwwwwwww, but I wanted to beat the **** out of sonic with a character that looked kind of like me only anorexic, no ears, no fingers, no arms and balls for hands.

 

[MAtgSy]

Boxing gloves, bats, Wii Zappers, that tank from Wii Play, the cow. Miis have kind a bit of firepower to them.

Sakurai's reasoning doesn't make sense. Simply having Miis in it makes it too much like Wii Sports? Might as well be be arguing that it's too much like Super Mario Bros.

 

[KosukeKGA]

Miis are boring and ruin the aesthetic value of the roster.

 

[LuiStrokes]

Well, if miis were in, i would be glad if krystal it's in






to kick that b¡tch's @$$

Also yeah, I'd love to beat up Krystal in general. If only it were possible to beat up a character so much in smash that they get removed from Nintendo canon and we don't have to remind ourselves how much post-64 star fox games have blown.

 

[Aeramis]

Mii would have been weird. Glad they aren't in.

 

[FieryRebirth]

Like you guys, My Mii would be making Sonic and Megaman punching bags, as part of my daily Brawl training if I eventually get a better connection so I can finally go WiFi.

Miis wouldn't bring any strong interest to the game unless they were completely customizable.

 

[Doc Chronic]

i agree, the novelty would wear off wuick and they would soon become annoying

 

[Galvanic]

I don't think they're worried about that.

 

[Ced The Lad]

Too bad...

You know . . . I was against having Miis in this game, but since you put it that way, I'm suddenly feeling depressed that such a milestone won't be happening.

Zoidberg for Brawl, haha!

 

[Silent_X]

[Matt Silver]

I'm so glad that the Mii's aren't in. I like them and all, but they're not for the Smash I want to play.

 

[MAtgSy]

Well sorry but the painfully boring fights against all 10 million sharpclaws seemed to shut down a lot of my braincells.

Miis aren't any more of a gimmick that would get old than any other character. & character creation is a big deal in fighting games these days.

 

[drengist]

I think there will be a Mii assist trophy.

 

[MIRAI87]

I think there will be a Mii assist trophy.

QF Good Idea

 

[SmashWolf]

Seriously, I'd love a fight as Adolf Hitler, or a pig, or Mii-styled Waluigi, or more like that. I'd just find it annoying to play against millions of Miis online, but I would think they would be really fun outside the network.

Hitler versus three pigs. Who wouldn't want to see that?

 

[Haloedhero]

I actually wanted Miis in the game UNTIL I read this thread. I thought it would have been kind of unique, but now I understand that Sakurai didn't want his beautiful game that he's put so much work into to turn into "what kind of funny Miis can I pit against each other?" We already have Wii boxing for that.

...


Two people can play this game.

 

[Mambo]

I'm disappointed. You could make some pretty cool characters and with some slightly customizable move and even a "Create-A-Brawler" mode where you get to equip your characters with cosmetic generic and Nintendo items like Mario's hat, it'd be awesome. This would also keep all the graphics as well. I think the argument "they don't fit" doesn't hold much water. So much potential. Oh well.

 

[Lefticle]

The whole concept of Super Smash Brothers is to have characters from various video games fighting each other. Miis do NOT count.

 

[iron blade]

Miis would be like a second Olimar. Stupid and useless except for a sandbag when you're bored.

Nah...it would have been awesome to see a fight between Chuck Norris, Darth Vader, Zoidberg, and Hitler

Too bad...

I lol'd at this.

 

[Fats McRobot]

I only wanted Miis in for MMM, but really, having the Alloys in is cool.

Sakurai found a way to sneak Meteos into Brawl. Go him.

 

[Pieman0920]

Wow, I don't get the Mii hate at all. Those guys were the perfect solution for the impossibility of a character creater. Heck, they are only out of place to the extent you make them, since they can be customized. And heck, people are saying they'd get annoyed with them after awhile...How does that even work? Just don't play as them. >_>

Oh well, too bad. Sakurai really should have added them, IMHO.

 

[Blu-ninja]

here we go again...assuming...

 

[DinnerSonic]

I want to say he meant something like focusing the entire game on the Wii Sports style, using only Miis, things like that, but it's probable he just doesn't want to have them in a big role at all, reducing them to mere buddy icons... I was kind of hoping for them too, they were the perfect possible middle ground between a customizable character and a Nintendo character, they have a possible moveset, and the 'gimmick' of each Mii's weight/height changing the entire feel of the character while still keeping a general moveset. Then again, it probably would end up having a lot of people rather playing as Hitler then Mario.

 

[Mambo]

They for sure could. They are practically the icon for the Wii or at least everyone knows of them that has a Wii. And with a Create-A-Brawler mode you could add items like Mario's hat, a koopa troopa shell, a metroid on your head, or any other item you can wear and that'd make them have access to all kind of Nintendo things. You could even have masks of characters that didn't make it in like if Geno isn't, a Geno mask for your Mii It really is a missed opertunity.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Lol, you CANT have Mii's in brawl. If you we're to take them online, pedophiles would figure out what you look like and as such, they would instantly know who you are and where you live and they'd go to your house to do bad things to you.

Yeah, they could. Doesn't mean they would. This discussion popped up a little while back, before the Wii was even out and before people knew about Miis. Someone suggested a create-a-character mode for Brawl, and it was shot down pretty quick. Like, seriously. Mario vs. Bob, people. That sounds like a pretty ****ty match-up to me.

 

[Pink Reaper]

I hate this website, someone really needs to do something about the crashing >.<
