*Words as point flies over head*

They made all the Mario Models from scratch too?

Maybe they did for Super Smash Bros. I thought you meant the character design, not the actual polygonal model. No need to be shitty and condescending about it.

Sorry about that.  Communication is not my forte.

[Shaymin]

Maybe there's an alt where Robin's a horse, to tie in with an upcoming Fire Emblem Awakening DLC pack.

Is Fire emblem still doing DLC releases?

Negative.

[azeke]

There is public demo in some locations in Japan. There is a huge list of impressions on Neogaf, check it out. One of the things they mention is Fierce Deity Link alt.

[Shaymin]

Favorite part: Despite being a showcase game for the New 3DS's controls, it doesn't support Frankenstick or Frankenstick Gigante.

Presumably because the IR port is used for Amiibos.

Nice troll, Nintendo.

[Adrock]

That's a bummer. I never used C-stick Smash attacks because I was so used to not using it. I was hoping for Circle Pad Pro support because it makes the 3DS more comfortable to hold and gives the 3DS extra shoulder buttons. This will take some getting used to... for a couple months until the Wii U version comes out and I never play the 3DS version again.

N3DS units have Amiibo support built-in into touchpad and shouldn't need additional interfaces like IR.

It's probably because they want to Virtual Boy the frankenstick.

It's seemed pretty clear right from the start that Nintendo would have much rather not released the Circle Pad Pro, and only did it to secure Monster Hunter (which was a totally legitimate and correct decision). Unless I'm missing something, I think only one first party game supports it, and only barely, although it was a game made by the same guy as Smash Bros.

Hell, it's about time! May go back to Link being my main because of this.

I was referring to the current 3DSes (taco, XL) where the only way to use Amiibos is with a base that sends data back to the system over IR.

DIXIE CONFIRMED!!



as a Diddy palette swap...

It's pretty neat that Alph is a Olimar costume and that his name is changed in game as well.

[MagicCow64]

Sweet, Alph alt confirmed, it seems almost certain that Bowser Jr. will have the koopalings at this point.

And yeah, goodbye Dixie. I read that Fox also has a Wolf recoloring, so probably safe to assume he is indeed cut.

[Luigi Dude]

And yeah, goodbye Dixie. I read that Fox also has a Wolf recoloring, so probably safe to assume he is indeed cut.

Mario had Wario and Luigi recoloring in Brawl.  I guess that means they were both cut from that game as well?




Just because a character has a recolor that's based off another doesn't mean that character can't be in as well.

[Stratos]

Rosetta & Chiko? What version of the game is this? I though it was Luma?

I think those are Rosalina and Luma's Japanese names.

I can't get the image to load, but yes, I do indeed think that, amidst widespread speculation/leaks that Wolf is cut, the fact that they added a Wolf alt for Fox further indicates that Wolf is cut. (Though Diddy's Dixie alt is from Brawl, actually, so probably nothing to read into there.)

Demo is up on Japanese eShop. Mario, Villager, Mega Man and Link playable.

There are quite a lot of people with japanese 3DS's streaming it. The one i am watching:

Here are the Smash scans from Famitsu (untranslated): http://warchamp7.com/famitsu-view

And here are the alt character colours and costumes collected together: http://i.imgur.com/vCCdRdv.jpg

Cool that some of Lucina and Shulk's colours seem to imitate other characters from their respective games. Same goes with Megaman, too, but that is less surprising but still cool. Looks like there are some other neat ones like Eliwood Marth, Medusa Palutena and the already mentioned above Fierce Deity Link, Alph, Wolf-coloured Fox.

Shulk comparison:

[nickmitch]

A bit more pallet swaps than I thought there would be, but I really like some of the color choices and the alts are all great.

[Luigi Dude]

Well the game is out in Japan.  Apparently Falco is one of the first characters to unlock as well.  Of course I wouldn't be surprised if it's still beat 100 Man Melee/Brawl again.







Well, now the real fun will begin.

[Spak-Spang]

Doesn't that screen basically only show 2 more character slots available?

[Luigi Dude]

Doesn't that screen basically only show 2 more character slots available?

The size increases as the roster increases.  On the streams, after Falco, Ness and Dark Pit were unlocked, the select screen increased in sized and added another row so the final roster is going to be closer to what the leak showed a few weeks ago.

Oh and it turns out the ESRB leak was not the final select screen as well since the the streams show that Mii fighter clearly shows up as its own slot in the select screen, which the leak didn't have.  So in reality, it's still possible we could get four more characters that weren't in the leak since that picture showed an incomplete select screen since the final version clearly has Mii's fighter on it.

So since there was 5 more slots left and Mii fighter takes up 1, that means there could still be 4 more characters left to put in.  Ice Climbers, Wolf, Lucas and Chorus Men here we come.


Ok, I really need to get some sleep now.  Anyone that's lurking, here's the links to biggest streams at the moment.

 I just now things will only get crazier while I sleep.  Can't wait to see the **** storm that awaits when I wake up.


Edit.


HOLY MEGAMAN FUCKING ****!!!



Right when I checked one last time before I went to bed the stream got to the Duck Hunt Dog.  Holy **** his moveset looks amazing.  He even summons characters from Wild Gunmen and Hogan's Alley to attack for him as well.jalakfhsdl;fhasfha;slfh;sljfalksd


My brain can't take anymore, Sakurai what have you done.

[Dasmos]

Duck Hunt Dog looks awesome. Maybe not as great as ROB, but who could be?

[Adrock]

I'd strongly prefer Mewtwo and Snake over Wolf and Lucas, if only because the former have unique movesets. Your list is a safe bet. I suppose they could add another column for DLC characters, but that would be insane.

Duck Hunt Dog's laugh is his intro animation.

[nickmitch]

Sakurai has to prove his trollmanship by announcing the Chorus Men next.
