Since the title is conjectural, wouldn't it be a good idea to simplify it to Super Smash Bros. (3DS/Wii U)?
It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:40, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

How exactly is the title conjectural in the first place, though? I got this logo from the SmashWiki, and there's a similar one for the 3DS version:

Pseudo-dino (talk) 14:54, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

It doesn't seem like... a title. It seems they put a "for" to differentiate the two games, not as part of the title of the game.
It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 15:00, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Yes, but it's the closest thing we have to a title for the time being, and it comes from an official source. Even if it's just a working title, it's not conjectural. Pseudo-dino (talk) 16:14, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

It's a working title, we should have something better before long. --™ The 'Shroom 16:17, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Should we keep the conjecture tag for the time being? It seems official enough to me (what if this actually is the official name, no matter how unlikely?), but obviously there's some disagreement. Pseudo-dino (talk) 16:25, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

We'll keep it, yeah. And even if it may seem official (it doesn't to me), it is not. --™ The 'Shroom 16:27, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Er, the conjecture tag was removed, and not by me. I agree with removal, again, since the name is sourced. Should it stay this way? Pseudo-dino (talk) 18:00, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Another New Comer???

I was just browsing the Super Smash Bros. 3DS/WiiU site and noticed space in the bottom right corner on the character roster, There's another newcomer to be announced!!!! - Cubeguy(talk)

Update!! Further probing reveals through the roster reveals six more character slots!! There's defiantly one more newcomer!!! - Cubeguy(talk)

There is a wide space on the bottom right corner, but I guess that's space for two veterans.
It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 00:00, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

Well it could be, but it wouldn't surprise me if they decided to round the numbers of for the newcomers. Im hopping! - Cubeguy(talk)

Special characters for different versions?

So i just rellised that there is no footage or images of the wii fit trainer on the 3ds version, so i have the feeling that there are certain characters on certain versions. - Cubeguy(talk)

Forget that. - Cubeguy(talk)

Characters

Just wondering. Would it be safe to assume that all of the original twelve would appear in this game? User:FireFlower

Probably, but it's best to wait until they're announced before adding it in. Yoshi876 (talk)

Even like Jigglypuff or Captin Falcon User:FireFlower

Yes, because they haven't been announced so it'd be classed as speculation and removed. Yoshi876 (talk)

We can already assume Ness Luigi and Sonic will return. It's Luigi's year, Mother 3 will be released in Europe. Nintendo have scored Sonic so he can return to the series royalty free. Plus they are working in adding many characters as possible so we will see many newcomers first party and 3rd party. User:Donaldthescotishtwin

But someone said that the characters would be limited because of the 3DS' capabilities, and so not everyone is returning. Yoshi876 (talk)

The game is still early in development is it not? Down the line eventually the 3DS version will have a smaller rooster but with more newcomers to replace characters that could not make it, and those will be the ones returning for the WiiU version. The 3Ds may have even more newcomers than the WiiU. There's also the possibility of DLC yes they are not considering it now, but they listen to the fans and they are able to now so it would be crazy not to have downloadable characters. User:Donaldthescotishtwin

3D OOT

Since the 3DS version has stages based on portable titles shouldn't we say gerudo valley is based of Ocrania of Time 3D?
The preceding unsigned comment was added by King Koopa (talk).

It mostly likly will but we wo n't know for quite awhile. - Cubeguy(talk)

Forget that the stages where in the trailer. - Cubeguy(talk)

It was said a long time ago that the characters are the same and the sages are different.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.11.116.135 (talk).

Wii Fit Soccer Ball

I believe that's part of Wii Fit Trainer's moves, not an item by itself. Look at 6:55 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=414s --Baconator (talk) 00:02, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

THE TITLE IS ANNOUNCED!!

The title's are simple Super Smash Bros. One is for the 3DS and the other for the WiiU. Here is the link to the article containing it and a bunch of new inforamtion - Cubeguy(talk)

Ice Climbers

"Mentioned during a Q&A with Masahiro Sakurai as some characters being worked on, but may not make it."

This does not confirm them or deny them. He just used them as an example. So I do not think they should be there. Crash-Bash (talk) 16:55, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

Another three characters

If you go on the mobile version of the official website click on somebody scroll all the way down it will show characters go to the third page and it will show 3 empty slots!!! 68.149.81.38

Cubeguy already mentioned that, didn't you hear? Kingfawful4321

Yeah, im all other this like......um....when i was with Luigis Mansion 2. - Cubeguy(talk)

Update Artwork

Shouldn't the artwork of all the characters be updated from the Brawl photos to the new ones released ? JackpotJordan 15:16, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

You mean for articles such as Kirby, Link, and Fox McCloud? I don't know, actually, but I feel that people won't let us change the artwork until the game is released.
It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 15:21, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

Possible boxarts

Her you go: http://www.mariowiki.com/File:SSB4_boxart_2.jpeg Shyman

Sorry that's fan art, which is something we don't cover here.

Shokora (talk · edits) 11:24, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

@YoshiKong: Don't you mean something we don't' cover here? --driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 11:25, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

Yes that's exactly what I meant lol. After two work shifts in one day I don't think my hand-eye co-ordination is being careful with the keyboard strokes :P

Shokora (talk · edits) 11:30, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

May i just say the titles of the games where announced earlier, which i posted here with the link to the article. Just saying we can easily dodge fan art covers as the names for both games is just Super Smash Bros. - Cubeguy(talk)

Yellow Devil explanation

I put Yellow devil on the page back during Megamans reveal trailer at E3, but i really didn't explain where he is seen. Frankly if it wasn't for a friend i wouldn't have noticed him. After the Smash bros. title at the end of the trailer, there is a small scene, a few seconds long, showing megaman about to face Yellow Devil on the Wilys castle stage, i dont know if it is apart of classic mode or the new adventure mode, most likely the latter. I hope this clears up any confusion. - Cubeguy(talk)

Donkey Kong Country Returns stage?

First of all why is this in the 3DS stage selection unless it's the 3DS version, and second could we move this to Other until it is actually revealed if its a stage or part of story mode. - Cubeguy(talk)

Just mentioning that although there will be no story mode it could be part of an adventure mode. I agree, I think it should be moeved to Other. MarioComix (talk) 01:05, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

Adventure Mode? Story Mode? Whats the difference same thing,was a bit confused for a bit and started going on a pointless search. Also i recommend proper investigations in to stages from now.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cubeguy (talk).

Well I believe that Melee had an Adventure mode, which was just a unique single player mode with no real storyline, while Brawl had a true Story mode with cutscenes and all. I'm just saying that with the confirmation of no story mode and cutscenes, it's still possible to see an Adventure mode like seen in Melee. MarioComix (talk) 03:47, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

I remember though there being an article from an interview stating that all the story mode cut scenes would be unlocked from the beginning for some reason. im just putting this out there. - Cubeguy(talk)

Now, are we SURE...

Now, it says that as "Part of the Year of Luigi", Luigi will be a playable character in SSB 3ds/Wii U. Luigi appears in previous installments as a playable character, are we SURE that it's part of the YoL??? Iggy Koopa Jr (talk) 12:38, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

I don't think it is, considering the game comes out next year, after the Year of Luigi has finished. Yoshi876 (talk)

Well, seeing that it comes out in '2014, that's next Year, right??? Iggy Koopa Jr (talk) 13:59, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

Yep, that's basically what I said :P Yoshi876 (talk)

What it meant was that as part of the Year of Luigi, they announced him earlier than usual, since in the past games he was a secret character and would remain hidden for a while. MarioComix (talk) 17:19, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

Different Final Smashes?

File:XBomb SSB4.jpg

This looks similar to some kind of final smash. Is it just me, or does it look like a new Final Smash? Thats what I think. Goombob 08:14, 16 August 2013 (EDT)

If this was a new Final Smash, then that would mean they pretty much confirmed five-player mode with this screenshot. We will just have to wait and see. DK Fan

It's the X Bomb from Kid Icarus, it's a new item. Yoshi876 (talk)

That doesn't look like the X-bomb. Can someone confirm this, also if it is a characters smash then it wouldnt confirm 5 player support, honestly why would there be 5 players. - Cubeguy(talk)

I can't get direct quotes from Miiverse, but this has the quote http://www.ssbwiki.com/X_Bomb Yoshi876 (talk)

I see it now, sorry for the inconvenience. - Cubeguy(talk)

Multiplayer mode

Does this have multiplayer mode??? Is it like NSMB2, where only local works, or like LMDM, where you can play online (3DS)???

Iggy Koopa Jr (talk)

Muliplayers one of the key aspects of the Super Smash Bros. games so it's not surprising if it is included. Though the process for playing multiplayer on 3ds where by its required for all participants to have a copy of the game or not is not known. These connectivity questions are usually answered towards the games release so just wait till then. - Cubeguy(talk)

Split Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U into Template:Fakelink and Template:Fakelink

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit any of the sections in the proposal. If you wish to discuss the article, do so in a new header below the proposal.

DO NOT SPLIT 1-11

I feel that these articles should be split - there's a lot of information and pictures differentiating the two, and even new sets of courses. This is NOT a remake like Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is, and we have an article for that game.

Proposer: SuperYoshiBros (talk)
Deadline: September 14 2013, 23:59 GMT

Support

1. SuperYoshiBros (talk) Per proposal.

Oppose

1. Mario7 (talk) We should wait until we have more info on this game before splitting the page. There would also be a lot of duplicate information on each page. Also per Tails777.
2. Megadardery (talk) Not until we got more information, probably the name will be changed. Otherwise per Mario7 and the guy underneath me.
3. Tails777 (talk) Then we'd have to split the Mario & Sonic games since they have home and handheld versions. Per all.
4. Iggy Koopa Jr (talk) We should wait more. They were announced at the same time, and have a lot in common.
5. Tucayo (talk) - Per Mario7 and Tails777.
6. GBAToad (talk) Per Tucayo.
7. Cubeguy (talk) Way too little is known besides the systems individual graphics and courses. Everything else could be the same or not. Until both games are out they should be left alone.
8. Scr7 (talk) I don't think the games have enough unique things to warrant their own seperate articles.
9. Mario jc (talk) Per all.
10. Mario4Ever (talk) Per Tucayo.
11. driftmaster130 (talk) Not enough information to split it now, per all.

Comments

Now that I think about it - we have an article for Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition, and that's nothing more than Super Mario All-Stars with a CD in the case. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 11:52, 31 August 2013 (EDT)

@Tails777: Actually the Mario & Sonic games are different too, so I'd also like to have them split. I'll probably make a proposal for that sort of thing. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 16:02, 1 September 2013 (EDT)

The policy does indeed call for the two games to be split, which must happen eventually (and perhaps with the gallery as well). But now isn't a good time. The amount of information about the game is still very limited, and it seems that the best thing to do is to have all the known info collected onto the one page as of now.

Shokora (talk · edits) 04:27, 2 September 2013 (EDT)

If i may say, and this might not be of any use but something to keep in mind, is that both games are not coming out at the same time. The one that comes out first, most likly the WiiU version as a large portion of images and video seem to come from it, will come out allowing development on this main article which if the splitting does happen at a later stage, is no real big deal as the article weill be more aimed at the version that was first released. Just saying to keep this thought, possibility in mind. - Cubeguy(talk)

We'll try our very best to maintain clarity between both articles. And besides, it's not as if everyone will choose the Wii U version over the 3DS one: in the long run I think they will both become as complete as each other. Ohhhhhh I'm so excited!

Shokora (talk · edits) 07:19, 4 September 2013 (EDT)

What did choosing have to do with anything i said? I was just making a hunch due to the amount of media that was focused on the WiiU version. - Cubeguy(talk)

Bump. Scr7 16:32, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

What? Yoshi876 (talk)

I'm bumping the discussion. Scr7 16:38, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

There is literally no reason to do so, if the users are going to continue their discussion they will, if they don't they don't. Yoshi876 (talk)

Whatever. I don't really care :| Scr7 16:41, 13 September 2013 (EDT)

You must care if you went to the trouble of those posts. - Cubeguy(talk)

Why the fuck are you continuing this? Scr7 08:36, 14 September 2013 (EDT)

Easy now, guys.

Shokora (talk · edits) 08:40, 14 September 2013 (EDT)

This is called Super Smash Bros. 4 by SmashWiki, so why do we say SSBF3DS/WIIU?!?!

The Mario series is less represented in this game and the title is goofy. There's no relation to the title by Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong, so why call it this dumb title? Also, the Fake ? Panel should be called ¿ Panel instead. But only ONE stage based on Mario appears, and that is Super Mario 3D Land?!?! That's it! ¿¡@& this title and just call it Super Smash Bros. 4.

UnshyGuy

It's called this, because at this current moment in time it is its official name. Yoshi876 (talk)

Im just adding this, but it was never actually called SSB4 at all, its been Super Smash Bros. For 3DS & WiiU since its announcment. - Cubeguy(talk)

"Other Characters"

I had removed this section in a rewrite before because there is really no confirmation that they are characters. For all we know, they could serve different purposes within the game, such as stage "objects," Assist Trophies (should those return), bosses, or items. It also kind of strikes me as inconsistent to list them as characters and format it differently from other sections about characters. · SMB (Talk) · 20:10, 28 October 2013 (EDT)

Indeed, it seems like speculation to list them as "characters" when they could actually be, as you said, another element such as stage object. But we're not yet sure how they appear, but nevertheless they do. So it would be acceptable to list them as "others", and their role within the game can be elaborated on as more information becomes available.

Shokora (talk · edits) 03:33, 29 October 2013 (EDT)

It does make sense to include them in a manner similar to the one suggested– not including them at all would render the article incomplete. However, my one concern is that "others" is a little too generic as its own heading (like, other whats, exactly?). I think it would be acceptable if there was something else a little more specific but that does not indicate them as characters yet. · SMB (Talk) · 03:49, 29 October 2013 (EDT)

That's true. Having a separate header titled "Others" wouldn't seem logical. Perhaps, as we use "Others" under the stages header to describe unidentified stages, we could have "Others" listed under the characters header. Or alternatively, we could have two separate main headers: "Playable characters" and "Other characters".

Shokora (talk · edits) 04:10, 29 October 2013 (EDT)

We could add something along the lines of "The roles of these characters is unconfirmed at the moment" under the header. Or just call it "Unknown Characters". Just throwing out suggestions. ---Skittles

Since we got rid of "Others" under the "Stages" header, perhaps we should just go with the separate "Other characters" header as YoshiKong suggested and add a disclaimer like Skittles suggested. Should the section be formatted in a list (as it was before) or in tables (like most of the other sections are)? If we go with tables, we will need to get images of the "other characters." · SMB (Talk) · 16:55, 4 November 2013 (EST)

Donkey Kong Stage not confirmed

This stage has not been confirmed as an actual stage, and thus it has been titled as "other" since there is no real evidence supporting it as a stage or a section of the adventure mode. - Cubeguy(talk) BOO!!! ^w^

Your solution is inconsistent with your argument behind it. You say that this area is not a confirmed stage, yet you classify it as an "other stage." It is either a stage or it is not. Also, we classify stages either as being in the 3DS version or the Wii U version of the game– an "other" classification in this instance would indicate that it can be something other than a 3DS or Wii U stage, which is not possible. From what I understand, this area is in the 3DS version, so we have classified it under that section. · SMB (Talk) · 01:35, 30 October 2013 (EDT)

I agree with Super Mario Bros. It wouldn't make sense to list it as "other".

Shokora (talk · edits) 01:57, 30 October 2013 (EDT)

I agree that its not the best thing to list it under but there just isnt enough informationt supplied to list it as a stage. The only info on it is a couple of seconds of just mario jumping on it. - Cubeguy(talk) BOO!!! ^w^

But this fits the definition as a stage, regardless if you fight there in adventure mode or not. All settings you fight on are considered stages. This includes those levels in Adventure Mode in Melee, that counts as a stage. Same with the nonplayable Metal Cavern and Final Destination level in Super Smash Bros. Granted, most of these are very big stages, but we don't discriminate. Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:54, 31 October 2013 (EDT)

Alternate Costumes Return? Maybe, Maybe not....

So ran across this article and thought id bring it to light. [1] It has the male version of the wii fit trainer but doesn't confirm it actually being ingame. - Cubeguy(talk)

What's the source of the image? We need more information before we say that the male version of Wii Fit Trainer even exists in Super Smash Bros. 4.
It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:59, 1 November 2013 (EDT)

I think I've seen it on the Smash Bros. official website. Yoshi876 (talk)

Oh, I haven't visited it in such a long time, so please refresh me. Even then, we shouldn't jump to conclusions. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:03, 1 November 2013 (EDT)

That was the daily SSB4 pic that Sakurai posted on Miiverse on the 31st of October, I believe. Icemario11 (talk)

Hm, if it's true, then it's more likely an alternate skin (and probably a different set of voices) than a separate character. It would be weird if there is only a female version of the Wii Fit Trainer.
It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:07, 1 November 2013 (EDT)

This page has all of the daily pictures Sakurai posts, and was where I saw it: [2] Icemario11 (talk)

Name of the Super Mario Galaxy-based stage

As Sakurai have mentioned in his Miiverse page, the official name of the stage is "Mario Galaxy". So shouldn't we change the name of the unknown stage from Super Mario Galaxy to "Mario Galaxy"? --Csrspirit (talk) 02:49, 10 December 2013 (EST)

The name

for the Galaxy stage is Mario Galaxy, according to SmashWiki.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Unshy Guy (talk).

Is this sourced? Yoshi876 (talk)

Never mind found a source. Yoshi876 (talk)

Release Dates

While checking the list of games, I've noticed that the release dates for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Wii U are set as 2014/08/27 for Japan, and 2014/08/31 for North America. Do we even have a source that proves this? M&SG (talk) 13:59, 25 December 2013 (EST)

Re: Zelda

Just confirmed, I know, and I saw an image of her with a Phantom from Phantom Hourglass. Think it's a new trophy, or somehow a sign of something else altogether? Lord Grammaticus (talk) 01:48, 26 December 2013 (EST)

I have a feeling it's part of her moveset, since the Phantom seen is pinkish, which is the colour of the Phantom when Toon Zelda is controlling it in Spirit Tracks. Also, I find it unusual that basically none of her pictures show off her attacks. MarioComix (talk) 01:53, 26 December 2013 (EST)

You say thay like we didn't wanna see Peach stealing Link. :y

But yeah, definitely noticed, which is why I asked. We'll probably get attack images and/or more Phantom-related details in the next few days. Though Zelda pulling a Jojo with her Phantom form would be amazing, pipe dream or not. Lord Grammaticus (talk) 02:03, 26 December 2013 (EST)

Starfy confirmed as assist trophy?

Nothing said he was confirmed as an assist trophy! File:Petey Pirahna Ground Idle.gif Peteyking

Bar the source that I provided that shows a link to MiiVerse items, where he is under the sub-section of Assist Trophies. Yoshi876 (talk)}

Yeah, but is that actually Miiverse or another source. The Smash Wiki says he's not a assist trophy. File:Petey Pirahna Ground Idle.gif Peteyking

SmashWiki doesn't know everything, and the source seems pretty reliable. Yoshi876 (talk)

Smash Wiki lists him in the Assist Trophy template. SeanWheeler (talk) 22:08, 29 December 2013 (EST)

Wii U Control options

The main article page states that the Wii U can use Gamepad and Pro Controllers. I'd like a source for Wii Remotes and Nunchucks not being an option.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.103.14.211 (talk).

Wario?

With the announcement of Waluigi as an Assist Trophy, is that sufficient confirmation that Wario is a playable Character again? 3D Player 2004

No because Nintendo themselves never said anything about it. Tails777 Talk to me!

Alt Stages

Just a dumb question, but why does our wiki list both variations of the Punch Out!! stage as separate stages instead of a single stage? It's a safer and honestly much better assumption given previous stages with similar mechanics (see: Spear Pillar).

In a similar vein, we also have "the city from Animal Crossing: City Folk" listed as a separate stage when it's just an alternate background for the new Animal Crossing stage. Like, wut. GBAToad (talk) 06:37, 13 March 2014 (EDT)

Adventure Mode

"the game's Adventure Mode will be significantly different than the Subspace Emissary."

Has "Adventure Mode" been explicitly mentioned, or is it actually this Smash Run that has been revealed from the latest direct? I just need clarification. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:28, 8 April 2014 (EDT)

Super Leaf

I don't remember seeing the Super Leaf anywhere in the direct, could somebody possibly get a source for this, or is it just speculation? -Skittles

Nevermind, saw the source in recent changes. -Skittles

Ridley Boss

It was implied but not confirmed that he was a boss, and considering how much Sakuria was trolling during the direct, I think Ridley should be removed from the boss list until it's flat out confirmed.
