Did he say he's going Marth?

If so, him.

I read somewhere that he's pretty much going to pick whoever he thinks feels good after playing.

But he does play a lot of Marth anyway. In Brawl he plays Marth, which is probably a better parallel for this game than anything else is.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I just hope there's someone who picks my main girl Sheik. Would love to see her new tricks in action.

Sorry to break your heart Moonlight. ;_;

Spoiler

Sheik isn't part of the playable cast.

[zroid]

:'(

 

[SenorArdilla]

Welp.

I'm guessing that nobody is going to pick Rosalina at all. Too technical to just pick up and play unless all those 16 get to practice beforehand.

 

[theprodigy]

There's no way any of the newcomers are gonna be not picked.

Umm, you do realize there are items for the first two rounds, right. Her gravity pull could help immensely.

Besides, from what the people have been tweeting newcomers looking likely to be picked

Prodigy is swimmin' in de nile mon

 

[Makai]

Little Mac is going to own in FFA. Powerful smash attacks plus OHKOs

I imagine it'd be like a newbie just picking up Carl. Though obviously less difficult.

 

[TheChits]

Peachyhime said she wants to pick Rosalina.

Depends on stages he gets to play on. His OHKO will be amazing for FFA though, if pulled off well.

Although a character like him would be very hindered by random boxes or bombs coming out of nowhere'

Here's my question though, will there be smash balls, and is Sonic in tourney?

 

[theprodigy]

har har very funny

though I would lol if Villager didn't get picked

 

[Caladrius]

Unknown and Yes, respectively.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Unknown and Yes, respectively.

Well…
This could be fun. Even with a bunch of the characters in general. Someone should find out ZSS's new final smash

 

[Troubled Bat]

Also, I can't wait to see Pit. His changes made me super interested in him.

har har very funny

Spoiler

Too bad there's interest for him.

 

[Spinluck]

Yeah Sonic is in. So with these rules, each of the characters will be represented, correct?

 

[Berordn]

It'll be interesting to see how they handle Final Smashes in the tournament.

Super Sonic will almost definitely be nerfed because and that's great because it's getting tiring to hear that every other FS is awful just because it's not Super Sonic.

 

[theprodigy]

4 of the characters won't be

also, did anyone actually go through the code in 64/Melee/Brawl and figure out the actual frequencies of item spawns?

Not so great if Sonic doesn't get buffs in pretty much every other area, considering that was basically his only really reliable killing move. (Maybe forward Smash, too.)

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Mario Kart 8 is dope, guys.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Which four do you think won't be picked?

 

[Beelzebufo]

Does anyone expect Sonic to be picked? Does anyone like him in the tournament?

I think Olimar, Sonic, and Pikachu won't be.

 

[Berordn]

If we assume For Glory is going to be some kind of baseline for balance in this one, then they'd have to address that. It might not be what they're balancing around, but then it's kind of silly to make that the "srs bsns" mode.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Which four do you think won't be picked?

Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Kirby, and Link.

 

[Spinluck]

I think items being on means Sonic gets picked.

 

[GregLombardi]

I legitimately think Pikachu is going to win the tournament. I'm not sure why though.

 

[theprodigy]

I have a hard time seeing anyone pick DK.

 

[Parablank]

Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Kirby, and Link.

If I'm not mistaken aMSa said he was interested in playing kirby

 

[Troubled Bat]

If I'm not mistaken aMSa said he was interested in playing kirby

Dammit.

Okay, now I have to replace him. lol.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Does anyone expect Sonic to be picked? Does anyone like him in the tournament?

I think Olimar, Sonic, and Pikachu won't be.

Someone is definitely picking Pikachu since he was already pretty good in Brawl.

 

[-Horizon-]

Mario Kart 8 is dope, guys.

:/

 

[Shadow Hog]

I'm a big Sonic nut, but I don't expect him to get picked.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Someone is definitely picking Pikachu since he was already pretty good in Brawl.

Are any of the players good with him though? I mean he's good, but I can't imagine he'd be anyone's first choice. Like Sonic and Olimar.

ESAM and Axe aren't there, so no

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

I really hope someone picks Mega Man. I want to see him in action at the tournament.

 

[Fiktion]

There's no way Megaman doesn't get drafted.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I really hope someone picks Mega Man. I want to see him in action at the tournament.

I think it's a safe bet that all newcomers will be picked.

 

[one_kill]

I'm betting the one who picks Little Mac will win.

 

[DisconnectD]

I think Marth will win. So ppmd, ken, or pewpewu will take it.

 

[theprodigy]

I'm betting the one who picks Little Mac will win.

I'll take you up on that!

Spoiler

unless Zero picks Little Mac

 

[ec0ec0]

If sonic final smash was still like in brawl, he would destroy everyone on the first round

(it would be hard to watch...)

 

[Beelzebufo]

I'm betting the one who picks Little Mac will win.

Final is on battlefield tho


Also, we might learn ZSS's new FS! But won't know if Sheik and TLink have new ones.

 

[Sponge]

I'm hoping whoever picks Greninja wins.

 

[SuperSah]

Little Mac will surely dominate.

He's fast, powerful, has a OHKO.

His only weaknesses are his air game and recovery. It all depends how difficult he is to learn, I guess.

 

[justchris]

Little Mac is fast, has super armor and his KO meter. Items won't be a problem for him, it'll be the 4 players situation that messes with him. Spacing is hard with 4 players.

Kirby will definitely get picked cause hats. If Kirby gets Little Mac's KO meter when absorbing him, that will be incredible.

I'm thinking DK and Sonic probably won't get picked. For the other two, probably Link and Olimar. No one in the tournament has a really good Olimar, so they won't have a good base to test his changes. Link has been low tier since Melee, so he probably won't get picked.

 

[JediLink]

Y'all need to remember that tier lists are based on 1v1 with no items, so characters who are generally high or low tier won't necessarily still be high or low tier. Zelda's Neutral B would be an invaluable tool in FFA. It hits both sides of her, it grants some slight invincibility, and it also reflects projectiles.

Zelda's getting picked anyway though, also FFA doesn't help Link any!

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Are the entrants not allowed to pick the same character as someone else? That's weird.

 

[SmithnCo]

They want to show off different characters so it makes sense from that perspective.
