Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 8: Put mii in, coach

AAAAAAAAGHH
Can't wait for this :(
Also is really sad that I got a call that my copy of Mario Kart is ready and I'm here at work T_T

Sakurai including characters from fan games would be a true sign that he's scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

I meant a real, official Mother 4 :-p
 
I have zero expectations, but if I had to guess, I'd say somewhere in the range of 5 new characters overall: three veterans and two newcomers. Could be more than that though. Really depends on how much of the roster they want to keep secret.
 
Isn't there a larger resolution of Zelda's Bizarre Legend?

Also I really hope E3 has more to Smash than just the exhibition tourney. No character announcements and stuff?

I expect another 3 newcomer reveal
Pac Man/Mii/Palutena
and the full starting roster announced. Of course, depending on when the 3DS version is releasing.
 
Holy crap this game is fun. K wasn't sold on the mushroom cup, but star cup is just too good. Already unlocked Morton and PGP too, so I'm all set!
 
I wonder how people would react if somehow, there were two new characters from Awakening, not just one.

People were complaining because they thought that the fact Ike was back meant Chrom wouldn't get in. Someone would moan about it for sure.

I'm shocked that we didn't get an update on Spiny Shell.

I assume it will only appear in matches with more than 2 players and that it'll hit the player with the least % damage/greater number of stocks.

I personally think that each franchise that had a "throphy quiz" in the April Smash Direct will have a new representative. FE, Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus.
Yes, I think Sakurai would put an obscure clue like this in.

That's a popular theory, but I don't see it coming to pass unless Sheik and Zamus being standalone counts as newcomers.

It kinda feels like the inverse of the Ness/Lucas situation from the Dojo days. Back then, it seemed like the newcomer Lucas was an exact clone of the veteran Ness, and people assumed that Ness had no chance because of that. Now, it seems like the potential newcomer Chrom would be nothing more than an exact clone of veteran Ike, and, since Ike has already been confirmed, people are now acting like Chrom has no chance in hell.

Chrom ain't getting in. If you're really expecting a FE newcomer, smart money's on Robin, though I'm still thinking that it's going to be just Marth and Ike again.

LOL retailer specific DLC characters.

Hey, Nintendo has to get caught up to the 21st century sooner or later...

I feel like we've had this debate twenty times already, but the "smart money" is definitely on Chrom.
 
I'm not even as hardcore "Chrom Only" as Ryce is and I know that he's the favorite to take the FE:Awakening newcomer role. People love them some main characters and coming off the game that "Saved the series™" there's no shortage of defense that make him the most likely pick.

I'm just hoping for the Sakurai Clause* to kick in myself.

Betting on Chrom would be the easiest Avatar bet ever, although it has competition with that guy who bet that Palutena won't be in the game.
 

Fantastic. Can't wait til kotaku runs an article on these :p

Just finished watching the Smash Documentary, that was surprisingly entertaining.

Yeah, i'm on episode 3 (haven't had much time), but it's pretty well made. I'd love someone to go back in and edit people's names in every time someone is talking so I know who most of them are. Thanks to the smash tournament trailer, I know a few of them, but not all. Even though they sometimes say their names, it's hard to remember.

You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Sak'rai Clause is comin' to town

He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out whose tier is too nice
Sak'rai Clause is comin' to town

He laughs when you are tripping
He loves it when he trolls
He'll subvert expectations
Just because that's how he rolls

We never hold back, keep our hopes sky high
Then we get a pic of a cave, and just sigh
Sak'rai Clause is comin' to town

With Pac-Men and Miis and maybe some Chroms
Palutenas, and Shulk, who's a Homs
Sak'rai Clause is comin' to town

Villager's in - yes, he got the gig
Ridley's still out 'cause he's just too big
Sak'rai Clause is comin' to town

Then all the kids on Smashboards will demand Jiggly
They'll mark ev-e-ry stage "banned" and only play "For Glory"

Prepare for a bout, let's watch the fur fly
And be sure to thank Mister Sakurai
Sak'rai Clause is comin' to town
 
I feel like Link, Zelda, and Donkey Kong are locks to be left out in the invitational. They're known quantities, usually mid or low tier, and don't have character specialists to represent them like Bowser and Samus do.
 
Keep in mind that the players will get some chance to practice with the game beforehand as well. I'm sure that getting a feel for characters might change some players' minds on who they want to use.
