Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U Thread 5: Yarning for Yoshi

CAPTAIN RAINBOW OMG

Is it the same model as the original game's Fat Mac? It's still low-poly but it looks sharper compared to some screens I found.
 
I wonder how all of you would have reacted if say, Sakurai showed off the Captain Rainbow Little Mac before the Little Mac reveal. :P
 
A) Captain Rainbow! I think he's a definite character possibility and has pretty good odds of an Assist Trophy.

B) Moreover, even if he's not in, this shows they're digging pretty deep and bringing in a lot of pretty obscure trophies, which I'm SUPER excited about. There was a distinct lack of that in Brawl (other than the Magical Starsign stuff and I guess Custom Robo, too).

Marionation Gear am cry.
 
Fire Emblem games only started being localized on west because of Marth and Roy's fanbase on Smash Bros Meele

So .. in the west Fire Emblem was pretty much obscure ... and then Fire Emblem Awakening selling like hotcakes

I really love how fire emblem went from a simple "who are these chicks?" to (unconfirmed) million seller series now haha

...that's all I got.
 
On lazy days "the staff" just tell him all the messages on Miiverse are just about Goku so they don't have to bother to translate anything.

"Well, I was gonna include Ridley, but you know, all of the Western Fans want Goku, so I focused on getting him in instead *laughs*"
 
I didn't expect Sakurai to reference Captain Rainbow. Nobody should get their hopes up for Captain Rainbow being playable though.
 
Interesting trophy to say the least, alternate costume perhaps? Not much I can say seeing as I know nothing about Captain Rainbow that this thread hasn't already told me. Also, as BGBW pointed out, reminds me a lot of the Animal Crossing background there
 
Hmm, yeah I'm puzzled with this screenshot. I am leaning more towards it being a long shot as far as Captain Rainbow being playable. Assist Trophy sounds good though, from what I am hearing from people it sounds like the majority of his moveset would be created from scratch with not much to draw on.

Mike Jones, yeah I don't know who he is or what he is from. Sounds like both use yo-yo's so I'm assuming we would only get one and not both. Also, this who think one (or both) might make it in, do you also think Ness's smash's would get re-worked?

I'm more likely to laugh at the picture and starting to worried about Little Mac's Inclusion.

Sometimes, a trophy is just a trophy.

Imagine if Sakurai decided to show Mewtwo Trophy. We wouldn't know if he would be playable character or just a single trophy.
 
So Captain Rainbow is now an expected newcomer?

I've never played the game or even know what he's about. But his looks make me think something between Captain Falcon and Viewtiful Joe.

Add a yoyo to that and you're pretty close.

And no, nobody should be expecting Captain Rainbow.

Not really. Some people think today's picture hints at him, while his obscurity makes others think it's simply just a fun trophy included because of Little Mac.
 
I've heard this misrepresentation of my idea before. You realize Sakurai can copy the B and B> moves from Samus and copy the Bv and B^ moves from Falcon right? It really wouldn't be anywhere near as hard to copy from two characters as it is to design a completely new character. Why did that idea of restriction even occur to you? Where does this mentality of limits come from? Do you think Project Sora is full of people with no imagination? Ganondorf holding a sword might require some animations from Link, some from Marth, and some could indeed come from Samus, from the forward smash for instance. These programmers aren't restricted in the way you suggest.

What are Ganondorf's attacks in the Zelda games? In Ocarina of Time he has a charged homing projectile, an electricity-based projectile, and a kick much like Wizard's Foot. In Wind Waker he has a back-hand slap and sword attacks. In Twilight Princess he uses a sword. In Skyward Sword, his predecessor uses a sword. In older games, Ganon uses a trident. Is Captain Falcon a good representation of his moveset? Clearly not.

Flame Choke comes from Twilight Princess. Other than that though he has many unrepresented abilities. He has his normal fireball (which would be cool if any character could reflect it with an attack, and it gets stronger as it goes back and forward between attacks), he has the black hole thing that showers fireballs, dual blade attacks, trident attacks (phantom ganondorf style), possession, crystallization (Did it to Zelda), many transformations, a few stands, teleporting, turning into a giant face, pure dark energy (as represented in a few of his moves I guess), among other things.


He has potential to do so much more.
That said, he's extremely fun as is. I'd love if they just kept building upon this base and adding more of his other abilities on top of it.
 
"Little Mac having a Captain Rainbow trophy is hinting at a playable Captain Rainbow" is among the biggest reaches I've ever heard. We really need a character reveal this week. You guys are slipping into madness.
 
Cant wait until palutena reveal so we can end this palutena smash war once and for all and declare my team the victor.

haha I find it funny im one of the few who didnt automatically jump to that conclusion.
 
I guess next newcomer trailer would be Takamaru.

Takamaru, Palutena or Mike Jones get revealed next and I probably will hype myself into a coma and wake up post launch.

I think people are mostly being playful with this. I know I was at least. :P

That being said, Captain Rainbow is AT stuff until proven Sakurai'd otherwise.
 
I just hope this is an indication of more trophy variety, Brawl selection was awful compared to Melee

To be honest, Nintendo has a LOT more shit to represent in the time between Brawl and 4 than it did between Melee and Brawl, especially since Brawl did some weird cherry picking for its trophies and historic content.

Ironically enough it helps that Wii U's upcoming library is so sparse - it gives them less to pick just for the purpose of promotion.
 
I'm loving the 'Big' Mac trophy, & I hope this means we are getting a metric ton of obscure trophies.

Not to rain on your proverbial parade...
But, I'm 90% sure that the bet wasn't whether or not Paultena is a newcomer (because I personally think she is a shoe-in), but it is about the leak being fake or not (which I believe it is. Hence my avatar.).

If not...
Then I would feel foolish for picking the
wrong
team.


EDIT:
It was a bet that the pictures themselves were fake not the notion that Palutena will be in the game.
Thanks for clearing that up, BGBW.

I was a little bit worried for a minute there.
