The only person that haven't shown with a tether that's left is Link right? Olimar and Sheik both got their tethers removed.

Ivysaur edit: unless that was just project m

 

[Toxi]

Here's some gifs.

Yeah I forgot, what I should've posted was that I am gonna use that frog starter pokemon.

Oh and is Greninja's scarf....it's tounge?

Yep. The scarf is its tongue; I imagine that's why it's not very talkative.

Putting heels on samus was dumb. No tears would have been shed if they just dropped T&A suit.

Changing them to rocket heels, for me at least, is a wonderful idea. The heels in Other M were the epitome of Sakamoto's bizarre desire to weaken Samus with feminine symbols. In Smash 4, said heels are now the source of her strength. They also function as a neat Bayonetta reference.

And for extra Other M revenge, Zero-Suit Samus can now beat Ridley to death with her bare hands.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Just show mewtwo already

Someone could probably rip this entire game a la Pokemon showdown.

She's still cursed with the mole Sakamoto added to her so he can say he knew something secret about her.

The Rep limit is looking to be 5 this time around (That's what Mario and Zelda are sitting at currently), and Pokemon currently has 4, so chances are one of them ain't making it.

"Rep limit"

That's complete fan speculation

Spoiler

BS

. Pokemon had six playable characters in Brawl, Zelda had five. There isn't going to be a limit based on Mario just because it's their biggest franchise; Brawl already proved that. Even if that were a law, Pokemon is a bigger franchise than Zelda regardless of its higher standing with "hardcore" gamers.

 

[Freezie KO]

So is Greninja like a frog version of Sheik?

 

[bobawesome]

Really getting tired of all the Pokemon in this series.

Other than both being fast Ninjas we don't really know enough about its move-set to say that.

 

[harmonize]

Just show mewtwo already

But that wouldn't be fair to Jigglypuff since it would put it at the mandatory Five Character Franchise Limit, breaking it of course being a cardinal sin in Super Smash Bros deserving of only death to its perpetrator.

No, we're going to have to run some tests between Mewtwo and Jigglypuff to decide who gets in.

nah I'm with ya on that too...kinda hoping the rumored next set of characters are legit as well as some non pokemon surprises.

 

[Mariolee]

No Grass type.

No Shulk.

:-(

Not.

Yet.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Looking forward to the challenge that builds off of this idea. IN SAKURAI I TRUST!

 

[Toxi]

So is Greninja like a frog version of Sheik?

From what I can tell, it has a projectile attack with Water Shuriken, a decoy counter based on Substitute, some disjointed hitbox attacks using water blades, and a few other attacks where it swings its tongue or kicks.

So yeah, as far as I can tell, it's a frog Shiek with giant throwing stars and a counter.

All that sounds more like a speedy Lucario.

 

[Kazerei]

It's super effective!

 

[javac]

I'm a member of the amazing TEAM Chespin until the day I die next starters are revealed but Greninja looks amazing.

 

[Regulus Tera]

If you didn't name your Greninja Dororo or Zeroro, you did it wrong.

If you didn't choose Froakie, your also did it wrong.

RIP Red.

The Froakie you get for free in game is shit. Protean Greninja or bust.

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

I'm so happy about Greninja. The froakie line has become one of my favorite starter lines in all of pokemon.

 

[DrForester]

Yay Charizard. Booo no Delphox

 

[TheOGB]

Greninja is that dude, but I still kinda wanna hold out hope for Hawlucha

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, Sheik lost her side B?

I'm a member of the amazing TEAM Chespin until the day I die next starters are revealed but Greninja looks amazing.

I'm also team Chesnaught but I think Greninja is a bro.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Mewtwo will probably return as a secret unlockable.

 

[Regulus Tera]

>>"Too many Pokémon in this game."

Like saying Marvel vs Capcom 3 has too many X-Men characters.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Meganium will be the grass starter.

 

[Toxi]

Final Smash

 

[Regulus Tera]

This is excellence.

We never really needed Squirtle and Ivysaur. Charizard is where its at!

Charizard was dogshit in Brawl; too slow with none of the range. Squirtle was the Pokémon to go when choosing the Trainer.

 

[HK-47]

>>"Too many Pokémon in this game."

If we were talking about MvC 2, it would be correct.

 

[SomeLurker]

Greninja looks pretty damn boss. But I'm still Team Chespin fo' lyfe.

Charizard though... meh.

 

[ReiGun]

Meganium will be the grass starter.

Ew no.

 

[kunonabi]

Not digging greninja since I feel like it shuts the door on takamaru. Don't care for charizard either.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Charizard
Lucario
Greninja


Sakurai's putting my XY team into this game. At this rate, I'm expecting Ampharos, Tyranitar and Mewtwo confirmations.

 

[MasterSheen]

FUCK YEAH CHARIZARD

Greninja is cool too. Totally thought that was Mewtwo at first lol

 

[javac]

I'm also team Chesnaught but I think Greninja is a bro.

Yeah he's pretty fucking badass. Total Bro-tier indeed. Plus his shiny is GOAT.

 

[Fey]

o i didn't even notice that we now have fully evolved fire and water starters as characters.

pleasepleasepleaseplease sceptile be in

 

[InvincibleAgent]

What with Ivysaur's assumed deconfirmation, and Yoshi and Bowser confirmed to be more upright, it seems this game is shying away from non-bipeds.

 

[Regulus Tera]

If we were talking about MvC 2, it would be correct.

MvC2 was such a cheap rush job to see how many already-made sprites they could fit into a game, though.

 

[Santiako]

Meganium will be the grass starter.

There won't be a grass starter, nobody likes them :x

 

[JMTHEFOX]

Charizard with no Pokemon Trainer sounds interesting, and I wasn't expecting Greninja.

Dat CG cutscene tho.

 

[Marz]

Charizard was dogshit in Brawl; too slow with none of the range. Squirtle was the Pokémon to go when choosing the Trainer.

Charizards problems in Brawl have nothing to do with being slow or having no range

 

[AwakenedCloud]

Is that you, ABBBBBBK?

 

[everyday math]

Is that you, ABBBBBBK?

;_;

 

[Kouichi]

I can't wait to main Greninja.

Thank you, Sakurai. I am so happy right now.

 

[Drago]

My man

If we get fire and water type starters, we need the best grass type starter too B-)

 

[Narroo]

Final Smash

Oh, hey there Valkenhyn.

I guess his Astral is a reference to something too. What? You don't know what I'm talking about? You didn't play BlazBlue?

 

[Mac the KNife]

At this point Pokemon Trainer Red can be nothing less than the button mash character of our Twitch fantasies.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

They showed Samurai Goroh running around as an Assist Trophy. They're not going to keep him and axe Falcon. The good captain will return.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a Smash game without Falcon Pawnching and Move Showing.

 

[Firemind]

There won't be a grass starter, nobody likes them :x

lol sad but true

rip squirtle

 

[Converse]

As a non-Pokemon fan, this was a downer. For me, every time a Pokemon that isn't from the first generation of the series gets revealed, I just think "well, there goes another character slot." I hope that since this Direct was so early (and we still have E3 to promote Smash for Wii U), they've gotten all the Pokemans out of their system.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Yeah, it wouldn't be a Smash game without Falcon Pawnching and Move Showing.

It really wouldn't
