Polygon Man's face looks dumb

The dorky voice and impotence in battle don't help... >_> He's completely nonthreatening.
Smash Bros. took a frickin' GLOVE and gave it more character/menace than Polygon Man has in this.

It is still better than Dissidia's story, but that's not saying much. XD

I still love this game and can't wait, don't get me wrong, but the final boss sucks. And don't say "he was meant to be lulzy," his menacing glare in the Attract trailer coupled with his old ad campaign set him up to be a srs business, powerful entity with a god complex. His Stage Hazard forms aren't even polygontal like his warriors! There's so much more that could have been done with him.

And none of this is touching on the most disappointing part of the whole thing IMO; the boss fight itself. It looks WAY too freaking easy. I don't mind the approach at all; FIghting Polygon Team with him turning into stage hazards is fine. But they should have made him turn into them MUCH faster, and attack you much more often & quickly than normal hazards at the very least. His "smash you with my chin then stay still while you hit me for 30 seconds" routine being his only attack sucks a lot, too. I really love boss fights, so it's particularly disappointing to me that I'm going to have to fight a highly gimped boss 20+ times.

I think you need to take your Nostalgia goggles off.

Master Hand literally has no character or personality whatsoever. He doesn't even have any lines. Unlike Polygon Man who has several.

And Master Hand menacing? Are you sure you aren't remembering him when you were 5 or something? Because I've never seen a less threatening boss in any game.

At what point did I say Master Hand had a good personality, or was particularly menacing? I was using him as a slap in the face to Polygon Man by saying PM is so non-threatening and dull, a freaking GLOVE is better than him. >_>

Every tine Polygon Man opens his mouth, he becomes less scary. Especially with that dorky laugh. So... Lines don't help him in this case. Master Hand's entrance laugh and dying "BLAAAARGH" at least had some power behind them.

Now in terms of ease, I'd give it to Master Hand as well. He's moves are highly telegraphed and very easy to avoid, not to mention he dies really, really fast.

Polygon Man's moves consist of slamming his chin into the floor so you can kill him. He's completely, 100% incapable of killing you himself. The only reason he doesn't die as fast as Master Hand is that SuperBot combined the final boss stage with the Fighting Polygon Team stage, and from what I saw, PSASBR's polygons couldn't kill a Ganondorf that was restricted to B moves.

You aren't supposed to take him seriously, that's the whole point.

This

since when?

besides, this is a fightning game and its not like SB hyped the story like a Dissidia. still better than anything Capcom has given us in the last few years

Those jokes are the quotes from his marketing campaign!
