Nintendo Announces Players, Rules, More for E3 Invitational

[cmbsfm]

well, my gc controller broke so i wasn't going to buy another one, but now, I might as well. Can I use these gc controllers as pro controllers? if so then i'm so getting to get one.

 

[ecylisis]

Peachyhime is there but Peach is not playable

ok

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

Oh...goooood!

check what it says at the bottom, the rules are subject to change so who knows. we could get a different rule set

 

[Rekano]

Not going to lie.

I screamed at my monitor.

Dat Adaptor. :F

 

[LinKing]

WE DID IT BOYZ

 

[lilt]

OMG that adapter!!!!!ASDASDASDVSBDGSDFdfsdfsdfsgd :!!!!regf

 

[juddy96]

Well, I was kinda hoping to see more "familiar" faces, like Mew2King, Mang0, Armada, Dr.PP, Salem, Nairo, Ally, etc. I don't even know who are like half of those.

And for the rules, they want to show both casual and competitive sides of Smash. Very nicely done.

The best thing was the selection of announcers and the GameCube Adapter!

Dr.PP is there. That's EG PPMD aka Kevin Nanney.

 

[DJ _ICE]

For those interested, the announced characters not playable at the invitational:

Ike
Charizard
Yoshi
Sheik
Diddy Kong
Lucario
Dedede
Toon Link
Peach
Luigi

Hopefully this saves someone some time.

No Yoshi for aMSa whyyyyyy

 

[Yonder]

Sadly Luigi won't be there (I really wanted to see if he got movement buffs), but the characters not playable in the demo make sense. They don't want any series oversaturated or anything.

 

[WindMajor]

The second I saw that it was an FFA with items on I fell out of my chair in laughter. So much despair ahahahahahahaa

 

[PyroTakun]

SO MUCH WIN IN THIS TRIALER

 

[Element of Smash]

IT'S ALL SO BEAUTIFUL! I WANNA CRY! I'M SO HYPE RIGHT NOW!

Also, I really ****ing want one of those controllers.

 

[Heefe]

WTF IS THIS OoOoO!!!! I think I'm dreaming... I mean is this for REAL ??? The hype just intensified unlimited... I just can't believe it..... HOLY !!!!

 

[Renji64]

Holding these tears back right now so beautiful i love nintendo and this community.

 

[Jonn]

Really interesting turnout. I'm gonna try to attend this in person.

 

[Galespark]

Dr.PP is there. That's EG PPMD aka Kevin Nanney.

Oh, Thanks! I didn't know. Nice to see him there.

 

[Fatmanonice]

As people have said, this isn't perfect but this is 400 miles away from the way Nintendo dealt with Smash fans nearly a year ago when Melee almost wasn't allowed at Evo. I will say though that I would probably empty my bank account to see Reggie dressed up as Captain Falcon do a flying knee right to Geoff's balls on stage.

 

[Fig Newton]

Looking back at the new GameCube controller, they might as well have added that Smash logo because we all know what it solely exists for.

 

[Capn'CocoCharms]

I saw the adapter and NOW I have a reason to buy a WiiU. *still shaking of excitement*

 

[.Lucina]

This is cool and all, but I'm more worried than happy about the Gamecube controller. It's probably just for the picture, but the total length of the wire connecting the controller to the WiiU looks very short. I might not be able to use it because my WiiU is pretty far away form where I sit while playing.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I feel that Nintendo isn't just releasing the GC adapter to coincide with Smash, but to also coincide with GC games on VC.
GC controllers are actually nescasary if GC games go on the VC, as the GC controller had pressure-sensitive shoulder buttons, which the WiiU Gamepad doesn't. Pressure-sensitive shoulder buttons are needed for some games like Mario Sunshine, where how water that came out of the FLUDD depended on how hard you pressed the button.

 

[Praxis]

You couldn't ask for better commentators than Prog, Scar, and D1.

Well, I could ask for Wife, but I'm not complaining.

 

[Ekans647]

I've read the list ten times..

Where's M2K?!??

They probably didn't want him destroying everybody at the tournament.

 

[Dr.Megaman]

 

[jakelegend]

Dr.PP is there. That's EG PPMD aka Kevin Nanney.

So yeah. Some people will hate it, some people will love it. As long we can all enjoy it and hold no grudges. Nintendo is just doing what he thinks is best to promote the game, not to make just an standard tourney.

Definitely. Some people are complaining about the players, it's possible Nintendo pitched a items match to Mango and M2K and they didn't want to play. It's not an MLG tournament it's a tournament to show the game so it needs to be shown as completely as possible. The hardcore audience will never turn items on for playing but there are quite a few players who are looking for "couch bragging rights" that will play with items. It's important to show that side as well.

 

[C_Mill24]

I noticed that the character picks seem to be limited. I noticed that Yoshi, Lucario, and Peach weren't listed. I guess we can assume that these characters aren't yet finished and need a little more time. I'll be rooting for aMSa.

 

[Sum1]

I'm pretty hard right now.

I think we're all a little hard right now

Yoshi probably wasn't included because of his slight revamp and they're probably still balancing Lucario's aura.

I'm not sure about Peach, though...

Well, Smash was a closet key :v

I'm pretty sure this will work with existing GameCube Controllers.

 

[RIDLEY is too SMALL]

From http://e3.nintendo.com/invitational/info.html:

-Quarterfinals: Items on Medium
-Semifinals and Finals: Items on Low
-Grand Finals: Items off (1 vs 1)

"Grand Finals is a 4-stock, 8-minute, 1-on-1 match on Battlefield as an homage to the competitive Smash Bros. community."

[Kipcom]

I'm pretty h*** right now.

"We're all a little bit h***."

Fixing the Stichface ratio.

lel, Dr. PeePee is on the list, my good man. He goes by "PPMD" officially, you know. Because... naming himself after a penis euphemism wasn't the best decision of his life, even he readily admits.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Dat Hype! Dat Music!

Someone already pointed it out. Thank you anyways.

Good lord Nintendo! Too much to take in mind. @o@
