Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

I rather get Lord Fredrik, the Snowmad King over King K. Rool.

Rool never looked so bad ass.

Why was he so shadowed to begin with? There was nothing special about the reveal to justify that.
 
Little Mac's wireframe outfit isn't an alternate model, though. It's just a different texture, much like other outfits like Captain Falcon's Blood Falcon outfit. I wouldn't expect alternate models for characters other than Wario, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer.

Is it, really? I don't know much about graphics, but can you create something that's completely transparent just by changing the texture? Regardless, and granted that it's not a different model, the only person whose opinion matters still considers it to be a separate costume. I'm expecting there to be a full set of Wireframe colours alongside regular Mac's colours, just like Wario had.

I really doubt that we'll be seing costumes granted to veterans who didn't already have them, of course.
 
First post on GAF is here in SmashGAF lane because this is the only thread I've lurked for 4 months since I've found this place. So let's get everything out of the way.

Ridley will be in Smash4 as
A boss character
and we will accept him as our lord and savior.

Megaman is the best Newcomer. Because he is Blue.

Villager is the worst because he's going to stab me in my sleep.

Hi SmashGAF~!

Welcome, are you for or against shulk?

If he happens then good times will be had, if he doesn't happen then I'll be sad but ultimately I think he appears in the game in some capacity. I'd prefer him be playable, but I don't think were getting many more newcomers if any at all :(.

There is absolutely no way all the newcomers have been officially revealed.

We're def getting some more newcomers. atleast 3 more.
 
So, since I'm bored and also insomnia I went through my hard drive and found the roster I made right after E3. Added in all the stuff that's been confirmed since then and ended up with this:

Besides veterans, all I actually guessed so far was Little Mac :(
 
I guessed Little Mac but I put Glass Joe in my prediction instead as a joke. Probably should have stuck to the logical guess rather than the fun one.
 
Well, they went all out and gave us more than one design for each gender which is surprising, with different hair and facial expressions. I was just expecting the male Villager to have a couple of shirt variations, and the same for the female one if she was included. I'm so happy we do see the female Villager, it's one of the few alts that needed to happen, and I still wouldn't expect anything more outside of Wario's overalls, WFT, and wireframe Mac.

Their expressions and clothes are simple skins on their models, but since they've incorporated the different expressions and hairstyles as well it definitely makes me appreciate the work they've put in here so people can play as a Villager closer to their own. The female Villager looks so cute!
 
I don't care if it's over regular Samus or Zero Suit, but I'd like a nod to NES Metroid like this:
The problem is that the Famicom Disk System version of Metroid doesn't have armorless Samus as playable, so the green hair is pretty much just a nod to the NES versions and more specifically to the Justin Bailey code. I long for the day green hair Samus is canon Samus.

Hi SmashGAF~!

welcome to smashgaf, enjoy the insanity

That is never going to happen.

Because he's sinister!


Anyway, really cool update today! I think it's funny though that Sakurai kept this secret for almost a full year now for basically no reason at all haha
 
Alt hype.

Who was that poster who was just talking about "no alts because something something Project M poison people's minds" again? The timing on that and this update is a bit too good. :P
 
So far every alt is in some way a variation of the character's primary/main appearance in a game that in no way affect the character's names.

With the possible exception of little mac each char with alts also seems to share alts between a few appearances that don't have a clear primary priority like villager, wft and wario.

Expecting alts for every character seems outright silly as long as these boundaries don't get broken.

Neoriceisgood is good.

You're screwed now, people will be wanting alts sprited too.
 
Love the alt costumes so, so much. Really hoping for '80's (ALBW) Link as an alt costume. It's a shame WW Ganondorf has a completely different physique from TP Ganondorf, that'd be a good alt costume otherwise.
 
Just rewatched the Smash Bros. Direct on the Nintendo eShop. God damn, the quality of the video is pristine o.O

Does anyone know if the videos on the eShop are in 1080p?

Little Mac is clearly an exception to the second rule you mention there. Wireframe Mac is the design of the generic boxer in the original Arcade game (although now it has apparently been retconned into being Little Mac too) and it hasn't appeared in anything else since then. It's about on par with any one shot designs other characters can potentially get for alts.

Hi SmashGAF~!

Welcome to AltGAF.

1 - no.
2 - kinda.
3 -
 
I don't know. I thought the game had a really nice style to it. Kind of reminds me of the SNES DKC style. Wish I could have played it.

I've played it, King of Swing on GBA as well. They're very very good games, you just have to get the hang of the controls, then the game goes smoothly. King of Swing is superior though IMO, play it if you can.

Well, I always assumed that the whole 'Black Charizard' theme (Mega form, Shiny form) was a nod to a common Gameshark glitch that only appeared in the US Pokemon Red and Blue that would turn your Charizard black when using the Super GameBoy. So you never know.

Could be a stretch though...

As someone else mentioned, the Little Mac wireframe is essentially a full on recolour of the model. It's more a texture swap That makes his "alt model" status a bit less extreme/impressive than others.
