Yeah, as expected.

Sidenote, is arm looks weird as fuck here. lol.

....great, now I see it too, thanks. D:

 

[Loco4Coco]

Mega Man is too big for Smash.

 

[Spinluck]

Female Robin would be acceptable.

who's Robin?

is that the Awakenings MC (technically Chrom is the MC but whatever)?

 

[ohNOitsRO]

If game and watch doesn't make it in, that will be a travesty

 

[Red Arremer]

Hey! I just bought Wii Fit U today, and she doesn't look like that anymore! Sakurai is basing her on old school Wii Fit evidently, because now she wears green instead of blue and she's got a bit of skin tone.

I bet this has already been covered in this thread.

I'm pretty sure the green color scheme is going to be one of her alt colors.

 

[SkullHydra]

Little Mac is so dang small, and it makes Mega Man look weird. Lol.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I love how airborne Mac has the "ohshitwhatdoIdonow" expression. Seeing what he does for his other aerials will definitely be fun to test out

 

[Boss Doggie]

I'm not buying anything from Dillon because it isn't lefty friendly and allegedly hasn't made any attempt to provide a lefty mode.

Sadly this. If you're a lefty avoid Dillon.

Why is Mega Man so big in the first pic?

Why is Little Mac's arm so broken in the second?

These are lifes mysteries.

Odd perspective camera shots.

 

[GamerSoul]

Nice! Mega Man looks like a bobble head. I love his expression. He knows he's in trouble lol.

I say a FE:A character us incredibly likely since its the most popular title by a significant margin. Choosing from those the only characters I see as being plausible are Chrom, Lucina or Robin. I personally would steer to some sort of team with Chrom and Lucina but im not entirely sure how feasible that would be. The other problem is another blue haired swordsman for the FE series is a bit too similar and it poorly represents the franchise. Perhaps they could focus on the team up aspect by having your assist character in the background and they somehow power up your character's specials. For example they could have Chrom be on the stage and Lucina be in the background like PT providing assistance for his specials and his down special switching Chrom and Lucina's specials. That or have Chrom be the only character fighting and have some sort of system with the possibility of different characters(Tiki, Virion, Tharja, Robin, Olivia, Sumia, etc) providing assistance from the background.

Something like that could work but I think it might be cumbersome to have them somewhere in the background though. Maybe they could work like Marvel's assist where they just randomly come in. But in Smash case they could be called for an attack or a block. Mac has a meter so it's not out of the question to have a way to alert the player when an assist can happen. I love the idea of having other characters as assists but it seems like a lot of extra work. I can kinda visualize this idea so it's a start.

who's Robin?

is that the Awakenings MC (technically Chrom is the MC but whatever)?

Yeah its the default name for the avatar

 

[Loco4Coco]

Robin is the default create a character's name

 

[theprodigy]

I'm gonna laugh when Little Mac's aerial game is actually better than his ground game

 

[astrogamer]

I'm gonna laugh when Little Mac's aerial game is actually better than his ground game

Though from the these two attacks we've seen, it doesn't look like they'll be good for air

 

[SenorArdilla]

So Little Mac is focused on ground game but is plagued by horrible aerial abilities. Characters like this usually end up really overpowered or very weak.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Sadly this. If you're a lefty avoid Dillon.

I'm left handed and I have never had a problem with Dillion or Kid Icarus. Maybe I'm weird.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Pic of the day. Little Mac can deliver some solid punches while fighting on the ground.

...However, he's not the strongest fighter while airborne. Try keeping his feet on the ground and avoid being blasted into the air when you use him in battles.

sweet.

 

[Masked Man]

I wonder if the attack in his second pic is his BAir.

 

[Neiteio]

Looks like Mega Man got a Super Mushroom

besides the Ice Climbers (who are good for their grab infinites), Olimar, and Snake, which ground-based characters are actually good

 

[Loco4Coco]

I was just about to post that, I think it is.I wonder how his other air moves look like.

 

[Neiteio]

I wonder if his aerial attacks are significantly reduced in power, in addition to being limited in range and all-around clumsy. Maybe the idea is Mac has to ground himself to pull off his punches. All dat fancy footwork!

 

[Kriken]

Mega Man is too big for Smash.

Nah, just his head

 

[Jaeger]

It looks like his Neutral + B will help him cover distance, especially when charged.

Unless, it acts totally different off the ground, but I doubt it will.

 

[El Sabroso]

I wonder if the attack in his second pic is his BAir.

looks like it is, and kind of a long range one like Ganondorf's

 

[Immaculate]

Is it just me or is Mega Man unproportionally large in this image?

little Mac is realllly small lol

 

[GamerSoul]

Doc told him not to play around up there...

 

[Shun]

What if we were looking at it wrong the entire time. What if Zelda and Sheik are completely different characters that change with their new Final Smashes like Samus.

Phantom Zelda and a new down-B for Sheik?

 

[Loco4Coco]

Smash ain't no joke.

 

[ffdgh]

Those perspectives sure are interesting.

 

[Masked Man]

Hard to see, but the left-most figure:

Maybe, then, his attack against WFT in the reveal trailer was his NAir?

 

[Spinluck]

Yeah its the default name for the avatar

Robin is the default create a character's name

i see, thanks.

Pic of the day. Little Mac can deliver some solid punches while fighting on the ground.

The punch is mightier than the mega buster.

 

[jnWake]

With all the features the newcomers are getting I hope we get a better training mode for this game...

Press L and Hold Y to do a smash tilt FAir.

 

[BGBW]

Psst.

Dillon could be another contemporary character, ya know.

Contemporary character of the ages.

 

[Victor Omega]

crazy

 

[ryanofcall]

I hope the smash symbol will be playable this time

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I hope the smash symbol will be playable this time

Personally I want to play as final destination

What do we do if there are actual "(Rayman Legends) Murphy-esque" stages?

 

[Sylverstone14]

Found this on Reddit. Had a sad chuckle.

 

[L00P]

besides the Ice Climbers (who are good for their grab infinites), Olimar, and Snake, which ground-based characters are actually good

Snake is broken and OP in vanilla brawl, though.

Spoiler

Which is awesome

 

[SuperSah]

Mac sure is tiny!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Contemporary character of the ages.

Technically eShop bag is older than Dillon.

I just want more critters in Smash

 

[Anth0ny]

i still think little mac looks boring

ground based character? eww

hope I'm wrong

 

[Oblivion]

One thing's been bothering me. In the trailer, when Little Mac does that super charged attack that KOs the three characters he was fighting, they all fly upwards and you see the the kill flashes? What the hell's up with that? Those are only supposed to appear if you knock a character to the side, or if they fall.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

At least he looks like he'll be good at it, all that super armor man.

Well for one it's more like diagonally upwards, not straight, so it might be at the corner of the blast zone. Though maybe they also took out star KOs (which I actually am in favor of).

Dear god, man. Why?

 

[Gardex]

Diddy Kong and kind of Falco

And that's already a big part of the high tier

 

[qq more]

...I knew something felt off about the KOs in the trailer. I want Star KOs

 

[Red Arremer]

Dear god, man. Why?

Because they take 5 years.
