Pacman just got revealed along with Mr.Game & Watch 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Showing image of PacMan, Mario, Sonic and Mega Man. how cool is that?

 

 

7:18

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

And there is a fight among the four now with Sakurai and NoA characters.

 

 

7:19

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Nate Bihldorf on the mic during this (and playing)

 

 

7:20

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

PacMan looks fun to play as. lots of goofy animations. Sakurai started the match by taunting as PacMan

 

 

7:21

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Pacmay have a triple up bmove.

 

 

7:21

 

Neal Ronaghan:

7:21

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Sakurai won!

 

 

7:22

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Talking character customization. Adjusting fighting style of character.

 

7:23

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

like the Mii Fighters, each character has 12 special variations.

 

 

7:23

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

You can select amongst 3 moves for each special attack slot

 

 

7:23

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Mario has a fireball, a fast fireball, and a fire orb. not usable in For Glory

 

 

7:24

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Palutena is different. she has unique special attacks; not derivative

 

 

7:24

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Characters can equip items that increase attack, defense and speed. but there are checks and balances

 

 

7:25

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Equipment also modifies characters by adjusting their balance.

 

 

7:25

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Make a character quicker but then they are weaker
 

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

FYI TYP and I are both typing. we might have overlap. its okay though. more perspectives

 

 

7:27

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

You can change clothing if your mii! Each fighter type has its own wardrobe to select from.

 

 

7:28

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Sakurai joking about character requests from fans

 

 

7:29

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

You can make Reggie, Elijah Wood, and Ice T. Ice T and Elijah Wood were asked.

 

 

7:29

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Mii Fighters cannot be used in With Anyone mode online. can be used With Friends.

 

 

7:29

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Mii fighters cannot be used in non-friend matches when online.

 

 

7:30

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Reiterates that all fighters are on both versions of the game.

 

 

7:30

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Talking 3DS version. characters are same on both. unique stages though.

 

 

7:30

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

you can carry customized characters through Wii U and 3DS

 

7:30

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Smash Run is easier to acquire unique items.

 

 

7:31

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Talking amiibo

 

 

7:31

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Smash Run is designed to help collect items/upgrades. These can be transferred to the Wii U game.

 

 

7:32

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

FO stands for Figure Player. Users do not control them.

 

 

7:33

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

figurines show up as FP (figure player) and are computer controlled. they can level up to 50. will learn your tendencies. better than level 9 cpus

 

 

 

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Sakurai is picking Donkey Kong for Smash Run. he is playing it.

 

 

7:37

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Just saying, both versions of the game look and play great. This looks to be worth the wait everyone

 

 

7:38

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

You pick up powers that you can use in battle via the touch screen.

 

7:38

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

There is a jet pack item. Sweet.

 

 

7:40

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Warp lets you jump to a different area of the map in smash run.

 

 

7:42

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Reiterating: we can't take photos.

 

 

7:44

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Smash Run can end with a regular battle, a throwing contest or a running contest

 

 

7:44

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

The final battle of snash run is random. It could be a standard battle or something odd like who can throw items the farthest

 

 

7:45

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Q&A time!

 

 

7:45

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

They are opening the floor to questions

 

7:45

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

First question: why would you want to release the different versions far apart?

 

 

7:45

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Q: Why would you want to release the 2 games mo's apart

 

 

7:46

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Sakurai cites need for debugging

 

 

7:46

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Biggest reason is debug process. it is a really big game. They need several hundred testers and splitting the release gives them more time to space it out

 

 

7:47

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

The debug teamis large and cannot handle both games in parallel, and they want to give both games their full concentration

 

7:47

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Q: why are character tansformations removed?

 

 

7:48

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

A: we want people to focus on single characters more deeply

 

 

7:48

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Q3: any plans for the competitive scene moving forward?

 

 

7:48

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Q: what plans does Ninty have for the smash tourney scene?

You might aswell add all of this to the original post. 

Looks like them NFC Figuries can't be controlled... You buy the figurine, level it up but a computer controls it for you and you watch the outcome, sounds a lot more interesting than before. 

[TheUltimateWaddleDee]

Game and Watch was announced before Ness and Captain Falcon.

[magiciandude]

Meh at Pac-Man, I would've rather had a Tales character or Klonoa. But I suppose it was obvious from the day it was announced Namco would help out with the game.

Neal Ronaghan: Sakurai says it is hard to balance the game. Discussing the process of balancing. he basically did it all by himself in Melee.

7:54

Neal Ronaghan: Brawl had a 4 person team give grades to the power of characters. New one has 12 person team.

7:55

Michael "TYP" Cole: Q: Concern over balance after brawl's problems. A: it gets very technical. Sakurai was responsible for the changes from N64 to Melee. He had to use a broader grading system with help from staff when working on Brawl. The process became tricky due to biases in the graders' playing style. For the new games they have 12 graders, but there could still be balance anomolies.

7:56

Neal Ronaghan: It isn't enough just to make a game and satisfy the fan base. Need to make it for everyone

7:56

Michael "TYP" Cole: When creating a game, we cannot just appeal to traditional fanbases. We need to reach out to new gamers, and cater to many target users.

7:57

Michael "TYP" Cole: Sakurai points out some chars are better suited for 2 vs 4 player and with or without items. Sakurai considers smash a party game.

A competitive Smash player is trying to challenge Sakurai to see if he can win and help balance the game. Sakurai asked "have you ever made a game?

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

Q: when was Greninja chosen to be added?

 

 

8:03

 

Neal Ronaghan: 

Q: When did they decide to include Greninja?
 

 

Michael "TYP" Cole: 

A: All of the characters to consider were on our internal roster from the beginning of development. We had a slot for a new Pokemon reserved, but did not way for X and Y. We decided to use Greninja well before X/Y came out, based on early reference drawings.
