I am hoping that Roy and Mewtwo return. I enjoyed playing as both.


There is very little reason to have old characters cut barring a legal/ownership issue.

[Caterkiller]

My super character roster composed of 56 individuals! Ridley, K Rool, Mewtwo and Sukapon seem unlikely as they are all high on my list but not impossible. 16 new move sets compared to Brawls 17 or 18 depending on how you look at it.

How can I make it smaller and not so blurry? Oh well don't read the names.

Happy that Ike is returning. I hope there's still a possibility of a FE newcomer like Chrom or Lucina.

[Mop it up]

I guess this might mean we won't be getting a new Fire Emblem character, though I don't care either way.

It'll be interesting to see how they tweak Ike, though. I think he was in the middle or low on the tier, but in a 4-player match or the 1P modes, he could be a beast. I used him to complete all the 1P modes on Very Hard (or whatever it was named), and it was somewhat easy with Ike.

Also, Roy > Marth.

I can guarantee a 3rd Fire Emblem rep without actually guaranteeing anything. You guys will just have to trust me on this one.

With Awakening being the best selling Fire Emblem of all time, a character from that game is going to be playable.  Even when Sakurai was deciding the roster in Summer 2012, Awakening had already sold more in Japan alone then Path of Radiance sold worldwide.

Plus we need to remind people again that Roy was planned on being in Brawl early on in development so it's not like Sakurai is against the idea of 3 Fire Emblem characters in Smash Bros.  Stuff happened and Roy was eventually cut, but with Namco having lightyears more experience at making fighting games then Game Arts, it's not hard to imagine this Smash Bros development is going a lot better then Brawls did.  So this time around they can put in the latest Fire Emblem character who's probably Chrom, and still keep the previous new one Ike, because Namco's people design fighting games for a living and handling all these characters is much easier to them.

Did your dojo get to do mo-cap of some fighting moves for the game?

[laughs] I wish. Sadly Sakurai wouldn't ever need us for something like that since he doesn't use mo-cap. My prediction is just a hunch actually. But basically what Luigi Dude says rings true in my mind.

Your title makes you seem trustworthy enough, so I just might...

They announce that Lucario is being replaced by Riolu because Nintendo has decided that everyone loves baby characters.


I'm still waiting for the new Smash Direct that reveals all of the additional characters are baby versions of the list revealed so far...and Pink-Gold Peach.

[Wah]

oh u trollers

[Stratos]

More like you trolled yourself. How did you get the idea he was cut? Are you limiting your intake of information for the game? He was confirmed a good while ago.

[Wah]

Caterkiller said here that he was cut!

[Adrock]

Caterkiller said here that he was cut!

No, he didn't. He was mocking people who were claiming that Lucario would be cut because they also said Toon Link and Ike would be cut. Read the post again, specifically note the quotation marks around the part he was saying characters were cut. Cheesus...

Yahoo!!!!

"Toon Link is cut! He appears on the Spirit Tracks stage! He can't be playable, it wouldn't make any sense! Lucario is cut! He replaced Mewtwo and now the new Pokemon from Gen 5 or 6 will replace him! It just makes sense! Ike is cut! He replaced Roy and now Chrom will replace him! You have to watch the patterns! Besides he's not relevant anymore, he wouldn't make sense!"

Yeah boy! I love the cheering for Ike but I love the salt from the goons even more! Keep the unique move sets coming Sakurai!

Reading comprehension fail.

sorry if you remember i was inactive for a fair while missed out on bits of the conversation.

Anyone watching the Smash invitational?

[Adrock]

I am if only for as much new non-off-screen footage as possible. A few thoughts:

1. Zero Suit Samus seems overpowered. Also, her Final Smash is insanity.

2. I'm pretty disappointed that Fox still has the Landmaster tank. Ugh.

3. Rosalina looks taller than she does normally does.

4. The Pilotwings stage has a Mode 7 island. If they showed that before on Miiverse, I missed it.

5. I love the new stages. The New Super Mario Bros. U looked pretty awesome, surprisingly.

[Soren]

I saw most of the quarter finals before I lost my connection. I loved everything except the announcers.

[Shaymin]

I saw when Mega Man hit his Final Smash, and I haven't heard a reaction that loud since Wrestlemania.

[Adrock]

Pretty good day for Super Smash Bros. fans. Plenty of new footage and three new character reveals (or five depending on how you count Mii Fighters) along with a returning character. I'm still hoping against hope that Snake returns. With Sega, Capcom, and Namco now represented, it just doesn't seem right not to have one from Konami. I feel like a Castlevania character fits more, but Snake already has a moveset.

Anyway, there are quite a few veterans still MIA, but there's plenty of time before October to reveal them all. While we have a pretty impressive list of newcomers so far (e.g. Mega Man, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina, Little Mac, Greyninja, Palutena, Mii Fighter, and now, Pac-Man), I expect a few more. Melee had 14 and Brawl had 18 (less for both games if you're not counting "clones" though I am).

[Khushrenada]

Yeah, just saw the Pac-Man reveal on the e-shop. It's nice and he seems like a fine edition even if I don't care for Pac-Man much as a character. Now Mrs. Pac-Man......
