SSB4 TV???

So awhile ago, when I heard about MKTV and got Mario Kart 8 on day 1, I was wondering, "Will they do something like this in SSB4? Like Smash Bros. TV or something?" It would be so awesome! Maybe for the Wii U version or both, since I am not sure if the 3DS version could. It would have highligts and the best moments of the match and could focus on certain characters, sorta like the MKTV options. And then maybe, like MKTV, you could upload the vido to Youtube, but just like MKTV, you can't upload the full match, either 30 seconds, 45 seconds, or 60 seconds. What do you guys think of this idea? I certainly would love it!
 
That would certainly be something to consider since in Brawl you were able to save whole matches and solo modes like the Home-Run Contest. Not sure about the time limit but that would be okay to do for the 3DS version since it can't store as much data (especially when downloading a lot of games and you don't have a bigger SD Card.
 
That would be nice but if they do implement this feature, they should let you be able to upload or view the whole match! even 3-5 minutes would suffice!
 
Sounds like a great idea to me. I'd love to see other people's fights. Might help with making strategies for each character too.

Of course, my friends would upload my biggest fails....
 
Oh, god, I'd be willing to pay a bit more if we could get that kind of thing on the 3DS... As for a time limit restriction, 5 minutes would be okay, I suppose (if it's some kind of MPEG-4).

That would be awesome to show off to people your matches online, no matter if you were facing a 3DS Pedia member or simply somebody!

*Now Hoping* Okay, now, you have me hoping...
 
That would be a great feature, but I think the 3DS version would be left out on the feature unless there was more time to make it. If there IS a smashTv and 3DS version is left out, honestly? I would scream.

The 3DS should not be left out. Especially since she has an hardware that is powerful enough to support this feature.
 
that would be awesome :) and if 3ds could do it that would be even better. but i am not sure if they will 4 3ds because of sd card limits but who knows they might.

Simply use an algorithm or Nintendo's library to check how much space remains on the SD. If the remaining space is too low, then, warn the player.

I have also another idea about how this could be done.
First, you have a match (no matter if it's Player v Player or Player vs CPU)
-> During that time, the 3DS will record all inputs (Players/CPUs) in a temporary file.
Second, you wait for the match to end. We don't care about the results for now.
-> Ask the player if he/she wants to save a replay.

If the player says "Yes": -> Record all the inputs in a file that can only be read by the game (through an algorithm), and don't forget to precise (beginning of file) the rules, the stage, the teams (*) and the characters.
Otherwise: Delete the file from the 3DS's memory.

It can't be any easier to save space. That way, we could reduce the size from ~50+ Mb (if it's MPEG-4) to ~4-5 Mb (if it's a long match). Many games saves replay this way. And if you want to export your video, maybe there could be an "Export..." option available somewhere in the game, or simply wait for a tool that would allow conversion of the replay towards a readable video format (MP4/AVI...).

I know that seems hard to understand if you have limited knowledge in computing, but if needed, I can simplify the post.

Does anyone really watch people play with MKTV? I mean, if I just got a new copy of Mario Kart 8 I would much rather play it myself then watch somebody else play it, as for the people who don't have a copy I would also rather watch it on youtube with commentary.

Yes, sometimes, even I, enjoy watching replays rather than playing. Sometimes (mostly in SSBB, when the servers were still on).
Why ? Because not only you can find what kind of strategy the other player used, but you can also try to modify it, and make it better, and more convenient for yourself.


But if it's for racing games (since you mentioned MK8), it would be mostly to know the shortcuts, or know how some people play.

It would be pretty cool if we could tune in to Smash tournaments or matches between high-ranked players. That sort of feature would give players a chance to look at better players and observe what they do. I think it would be better suited for the Wii U version, but if they can get it on the 3DS, it would be really great.

In the leak we have on imgur this is real (good prediction btw).

The only question is how it will function and can these things be shared. I think it is obvious they can be shared but not sure if it will be though Youtube (perhaps it will in the Wii U version more likely than not).

I think that would be pretty sweet! And even sweeter if they could do that for 3DS too! I personally believe they won't do such a thing with ssb4. But still, a lot of people would like to have it

Well, now this is starting to be plausible, with the N3DS coming out soon, maybe they'll do it... For N3DS owners :wtf:.
