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

If Brawl is anything to go by I could see the remaining secret characters being less exciting characters and such.

Like Bowser Jr. (well, wouldn't be too bad), or Medusa as a Palutena alt. since I could see Sakurai doing three KI characters.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Give Ganon an original moveset, give his old one to Hades.
Best character deserves the best moveset.

Can't wait for the e3 trailer "you all loved them in mario kart 8 and now they're back again. All 7 koopalings will be playable in smash bros for the first time ever!" This will ofcourse be right before the ridley stage hazard reveal.

Watch Captain Falcon get a new moveset and Ganondorf stays the same.

Eh, at least they wouldn't be clones?

I think you could realistically have most of Ganondorf's A moves stay the same stat/priority wise but animate differently so he's using a sword/trident instead. Would mean he stays the same for fans of him in older games but paradoxically isn't a clone anymore (in that respect anyhow). I'd prefer it if his Ganon transformation works more like Giga Bowser now as well.

Then, after that, we get Sonic's Shitty Friends™. All of Sonic's Shitty Friends™. As individual playable characters. Followed by Pokeball montage including Mewtwo, Squirtle & Ivysaur.
 
Ken said on his stream that the players get to practice playing the game before the invitational. So that should make for a more entertaining show. I know we expected that would happen but always nice to get confirmation.

Fuck that shit, it'd probably be the biggest fighting game roster ever.

Biggest indeed

Not sure if anyone posted this, but I was reading an interview with PPMD about the invitational and this quote really stood out to me:

I get it, though. Nintendo is sending a message, and it’s a message I can kind of get behind. The message is, ‘Whether you come from a competitive, a casual, free for all, with items, 1v1 fox only on final destination’ -- it doesn’t matter. We want you to play this game the way you want to play it. Enjoy it the way you want to enjoy it. We want to give you that opportunity. And we want to show you that any way you play the game is fine. I think that’s great. I think that’s beautiful. It’s funny, I don’t have much to knock on competitive guys about, but we lose some of the magic of Smash when we go into competitive play. I love interaction, l love being able to control my character, I love being able to communicate with my opponent on a deep level -- but casual play is fun, silly, and goofy. You get to watch a friggin’ Zapdos come out of the Pokéball and say “I am the master of all of you for five seconds!” That’s really fun. It’s kind of silly, but it’s cool. You get to enjoy that. It’s exciting and it’s visually engaging.

So I support Nintendo’s vision to help players play the game whatever way they want. And I think it’s good for the competitive community to see that we can enjoy the game too. I think it’s empowering to put our competitive guys on there and say, ‘Hey, have some innocent fun.’ And, at the end, some guys are still competitive and Nintendo says, “That’s great. We applaud you. You’ve put in a lot of work and we want you to do it your way as well.” And I think that’s very respectable and very commendable and it’s a step in the right direction for the growth of Smash and eSports as a whole.

That's exactly how I feel about Smash and I feel like this upcoming tournament really does send that message. Keep it up, Nintendo.

Full interview can be found here.
 
I only have a 2ds. Because I was poor at the time.

Perhaps it's upgrade time....

Likelyhood of 3ds bundle for Smash? Thoughts?
 
Did all the characters get revealed before Brawl? A friend told me yes, but I feel like some were kept secret and we didn't know until they were unlocked in the game.

No. From what I remember, no one knew about ROB or Wolf until they were unlocked when the Japanese version hit.

They better fucking show Captain Falcon
Click to expand...

I agree. He's way too popular and awesome not to be shown. Forget being in the demo but give us some footage of him along with some of the other veterans I hope (Ganondorf, Ness, Ice Climbers, etc).

I expect no more newcomers and no cuts from Brawl sans maybe Snake, but I'm hoping for a roster of 50.

I looked at the Smash Bros website earlier and when you go to a character page, at the bottom it has tiny square portraits of all the cast. When you scroll to the beginning, it shows Pit and he has a few blank boxes near him so I'm willing to bet we'll have a lot more. Since Bandai Namco is assisting I'm sure the balance will be much better than Brawl (and maybe future patches to help balance?).

I don't think they were all revealed before release. We found out the rest of the cast when the game came out in Japan (it's also when I first found GAF on a side note!).

How many more characters are expected of this Super Smash Bros?
Click to expand...
We're at 30, I'd expect 15 more minimum.

Not officially.
Basically, the starting cast and third parties got officially revealed pre-Japanese release.
Marth and Ness got revealed pre-Japanese release due to being in the intro movie.
Jigglypuff and Lucario got leaked by having their icons uneditted out of a video on stickers.
Early leaks that predicted the cast slowly getting confirmed, plus people getting their hands on the game early, confirmed the rest of the cast.
Sakurai then revealed secret characters officially after the game launched in Japan, having announced most if not all of the cast by the U.S. launch.
I'm really, really hoping the game get released simultaneously worldwide. I don't want to have to wait a month and a half while already knowing the entire roster.
