They even gave him nipples for fucks sake.

Wouldn't it look weird if he didn't have nipples?

[Soren]

Maybe he was expecting tiny Monados.

Shulk's voice is the same. All they did was take the soundbites from the Wii game. Watch the trailer again.

I did. Still sounds different. Some it sounds like its from his original voice actor. But when he says "Now it's Shulk time", it sounds like someone else.

It sounds too much like the original to be a sound alike. Any difference might be due to the recording or mastering process. The in-game voices might have been recorded at a different time and/or studio than the reveal trailer.

Anyway, yay! Shulk!

Shulk wasn't the only update on friday.

Pokemans, items, and assist trophies get detailed.

Official: Only certain characters have a real alternative costume. Others, like Samus, just get palette swaps.

Not the biggest deal in the world, but still a bummer. I suppose at the rate Sakurai has been bending on the whole alternate costumes thing, we'll have them for every character by next game.

[Khushrenada]

Finally saw the female AC Villager in one of those update pics.

[Luigi Dude]

Well with Sakurai saying everyone has 8 different choices, whether color or an alternate custom, that does play into what one of the rumors said where everyone would have 8 color/alt choices all together and for Bowser Jr, these choices would change him into the other Koopalings.


Well, looks like Roy will be playable after all. 

[nickmitch]

Some characters are gonna have 8 pretty boring pallet swaps.

[Mop it up]

Link better have costumes from all the different Zelda games!

[Khushrenada]

Nah. He'll have a red tunic and a blue tunic and an orange tunic and a......... etc.

[nickmitch]

. . .and a mohawk look?

[Luigi Dude]

Since Lucina was originally going to be a Marth alt, that means Marth probably doesn't have one either.  Same thing with Mario and Pit since Dr Mario/Dark Pit were probably originally alts as well before becoming clone characters.

I still expect some of the obvious choices to still get in though.  Bowser will probably get a Bone Bowser alt, Peach a Daisey alt, King Dedede a Masked Dedede alt, Toon Link a Pajama alt, Ike getting his old Path of Radience design alt, and Pac-Man a Mrs. Pac Man alt as well.  Plus according to the rumor that Bowser Jr has all the Koopalings as alts, Olimar is suppose to have Alph as an alt custom as well.

So I wouldn't be surprised if we still get several others alts in the end.  Hey, at least we only have to wait less then a week now to know since the early Japanese copies will start leaking around Monday.

[Stratos]

I really hope the Fire Emblem alts are different characters and not pallet swaps. Lots they could get in there. Soren for Robin. Ephraim, Nephenee, and Hector for non-sword character representation.

[Soren]

Soren for Robin.

Why must you be so cruel?

[Stratos]

Sorry that Soren is one of my favorite characters in FE. I figure the same for you. Plus he stands a better chance of getting in thy my favorite, Ephraim, thanks to the association with current Smash challenger Ike.

Truly I just wish Nintendo would make a more serious fighting game like Soul Calibur and cram it with Zelda and Fire Emblem characters. A pipe dream, I know. But dream I shall!

...

Pac-Man a Mrs. Pac Man alt as well.
...

I hope they do Pac-Man Ghostly Adventure Pac-Man and Baby-Pac.  The Ghostly Adventure one though is easy money.  Just be changing the Mouth and Eyes.

[Adrock]

Ew, no. That Pac-Man redesign is an abomination. It's as bad as when Sega gave Sonic the Soap shoes for rail grinding.

[Ceric]

I like the redesign.  Plus I'm fairly sure the SSBU Model is the Ghostly Adventure one tweaked.

[nickmitch]

Robin already has a girl and a guy alt.  The other alts are likely to be pallet swaps.

[NWR_insanolord]

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

[Adrock]

I like the redesign.  Plus I'm fairly sure the SSBU Model is the Ghostly Adventure one tweaked.

The Super Smash Bros. model is based on his most prevailing design, solid orange gloves, solid red boots, and dot eyes with the triangular cut, which dates back to the Japanese arcade artwork.

I hope Pac-Man gets his fancy, feathered hat from Pac-Land.

Or On Horse so that you can remake the original Old Spice Man Commercial.

Look at Robin.
Now Look at Your Character.
Now back to Robin.
I know you want to be Robin.
But Alas You can't.
Now Look At Your Character.
Now Look back at Robin.
Robin now has Smash Ball and will be winning this match.
Now Look at your Character Flying.
Now Look at Robin who is now on a horse.

Which is what Ghostly Adventure Pac-Man is based off of.  They are working with the company that already has a high res model to start as the base.

[Adrock]

Wait, what? You said Super Smash Bros. Pac-Man is Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man tweaked. No. Sakurai ignored every single one of those changes: the red shoes with white laces, the fingered gloves, and eyes with pupils and sclera, as well as teeth though the Ghostly Adventures design doesn't always have teeth. Super Smash Bros. Pac-Man isn't based on or a tweaked version of Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man at all. They just skipped past that design entirely.

Is Fire emblem still doing DLC releases?

[Ceric]

*Words as point flies over head*

They made all the Mario Models from scratch too?
