This would simplify the character a bit, but maybe that's not such a bad idea, especially if it's their own chance to return. That is to say, she couldn't grab, would 'cling' to Popo, rather than follow him, and would kind of rubberband to Popo, rather than attempting to walk there as a proper AI. I think Nana will have to become more like a Pikmin and less like a second character. I think major changes to how they work will still need to happen. With that in mind, I don't think Ice Climbers as they were in Melee and Brawl will ever be back. This is good for Ice Climbers, it means one of their major hurdles may not be as major as it once was. So the AI has clearly been better optimized on the 3DS, to the point where it's almost at Wii U levels. A 9 on the 3DS is probably closer to an 8 on the Wii U, maybe a 9 on some characters.

Now, the AI is a bit closer to where it is on the Wii U. Now, half a year of patches later, the 3DS Pikmin are almost on par with the Wii U Pikmin and don't randomly walk off edges to their doom like they used too. They'd walk off cliffs, get stuck or lost and just die. On release, Pikmin were basically useless. Ever since the first 3DS patch, the AI of Smash 4 has been steadily improving more and more. With this additional time and no need to really prioritize exciting, new, super popular characters, they seem more able to sit down and crank out a solution to this problem.

The Mother series is as dead as the Ice Climber series is. slightly less than popular Smash characters doesn't really matter for DLC. Now that Smash 4 is out, Sakurai and his (now smaller) team have more time to breathe a little and tinker with getting Ice Climbers working properly. I just want to start by saying I don't really think Ice Climbers will be DLC for various reasons, but I thought I'd make a discussion to see what other people think, given Sakurai's recent interview on DLC and the latest patch.īut anyway, for anyone who didn't know, Ice Climbers were cut from Smash 4 because they weren't able to get them working on the 3DS without dedicating more time than they wanted to characters from a dead series.
