So there are a few characters not yet announcex

 

[Neon_Icarus]

Huh

"Couple of characters we haven't announced yet"

!!!R I D L E Y!!!

 

[Cosmozone]

Woah, Pikachu looks finally good resembling himself in the anime. For some reason didn't notice it before.

 

[Amazeballs]

More Erik shots. Cameraman knows what's up. I like how he didn't even bother showing the other devs.

 

[Diablohead]

Ledge guard RIP

 

[brandonh83]

Skyward Sword music... awesome.

 

[Insaniac]

villager final smash is garbage holy cow

 

[ShadowElliot]

I see they changed Pit's Up-B to an upward fly-dash instead of the Power of Flight.

 

[ohlawd]

wonder who those characters are


hnnng this Ballad of the Goddess remix too gud

 

[Sendou]

That sequence was from Ghirahim theme.

 

[Pappasman]

they just murdered the edge game.....

holy shit

 

[MisterGrey3000]

I don't know what it is, but Sonic looks a bit more useful.
Also, I love how Little Mac spars with Doc Louis when he wins.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Reading Greninja makes me want Laganja in the game.

 

[jokkir]

What. That edge thing

 

[vinnygambini]

Huh

"Couple of characters we haven't announced yet"

I thought I misheard that as well damn.

 

[jmizzal]

Characters we haven't announced yet

If these guys know about them, they must are gonna be announced this week

 

[BY2K]

Huh, so edge hog is completely gone.

 

[kogasu]

Still more characters? That's good to hear. I want to see Captain Falcon.

 

[Hindl]

Hmmm edge hogging won't work anymore. That's...interesting. We'll see how it plays out

 

[victreeb3l]

Its weird to think that, despite knowing SO MUCH about Smash, that there are still unannounced info. Just how big is this game lol

 

[MisterGrey3000]

Erik loves Skyward Sword???!
I think I love him! :,)

 

[Pappasman]

There is literally no point to holding an edge anymore. He kicked off the player while they were in invul too. jesus christ.

not like it matters with every character living to incredible percents and having insane recovery skills.

About to get on a big stage once again! Treehouse baby!!

PPMD and some other Smash players likely coming onto the Treehouse next!

 

[Ray Wonder]

What is this edge thing you speak of. I missed it.

 

[ohlawd]

lol wooo pitfall antics ftw

 

[Zero148]

the Minecraft stage looks really good imo

Spoiler

;-)

 

[random25]

What is this edge thing you speak of. I missed it.

One player can kick out the other player holding on the ledge.

 

[Professor Lich]

Today they showed Fantasy Life(?), Guacamelee championship edition, Shovel knight, Reggie Interview and now Smash.

Might be missing something idk.

That's perfect. Just making sure I didn't miss anything huge. Thank you very much.

Seems like Bowser's victory theme is like Metaknights from brawls. "Vilanised" if you want to put it that way, as opposed to the test of the Mario characters victory theme.

 

[Diablohead]

I always felt that Bowser needed buffs, i'm happy to see him with armor

 

[Metal B]

Normal Free-4-All rules. Always team up against the player in the lead ... but they are right, sometimes is just doesn't work =D

 

[Captain Europe]

I like the new edge mechanics.

 

[Coolwhip]

These guys playing Nintendo games for months before release must be unique. Guess that partly explains Nintendo polish?

 

[Axass]

The fact they're still working game is apparent. I've seen a few instances of very bad clipping of items disappearing inside the ground, plus the Mushroom Kingdom stage wasn't working well at the invitational.

 

[Pappasman]

That Samus character model is soooo cool.

 

[Hattori]

Falcon, Chrom, Snake, Bayonetta and Rayman confirmed.

Rayman is delayed for 7 months though. Please Understand.

 

[Ray Wonder]

One player can kick out the other player holding on the ledge.

Oh wow. I'm not sure I like that.

 

[dragonlife]

The character select screen is so beautiful. The animated background is amazing.

 

[victreeb3l]

lol No one is excited about playing as DK

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I like how the Pilotwings stage has a location from the SNES game.

 

[vinnygambini]

I think Nintendo Treehouse reads this thread lol

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Pick Pikachu!

 

[dampflokfreund]

Imagine, at the end of SSB round they say: We have a new character to announce... Captain Falcon! The stage turns dark and the screen switches from Smash to... FZERO U HYPE AUDIENCE GOES NUTS WOOOH YEAH

 

[Gleethor]

I hope the victory themes are placeholder, because outside of the newcomer franchises they've all been identical to the brawl themes.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Lol "Killager". I like it.

Probably not something they focus on getting the game ready to be playable at E3.

 

[ShadowElliot]

Poor DK, haha.

 

[Kansoku]

Treehouse just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about localization culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Treehouse, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the staff, after hearing about this, is not going to want to play Smash with them, nor will they ever play something with them again. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Treehouse has alienated the entire staff with this move.

Treehouse, publicly apologize and pay attention to the code of honor or you can kiss your fun goodbye.

 

[XenodudeX]

Huh, so edge hog is completely gone.

Competitive players won't like that

 

[OceanBlue]

It'd be interesting if kicking people off the ledge incurred a penalty, such as less/no invincibility or high recovery.

 

[Hindl]

That's perfect. Just making sure I didn't miss anything huge. Thank you very much.

Also Sword & Soldiers II and Affordable Space Adventure. Both great games
