I doubt it will happen, but if I can import the way my Robin looks, or at least re-create it, (and to a crazier extent his actual name into the CSS), into Smash, this will be the greatest fucking thing ever.

Love his/her inclusion, but without this feature Robin's kind of a meh fighter to me. WITH this feature however, he possibly becomes my new main and one of the coolest fighters in Smash period.

I can't believe Sakurai did something to make me not just say, "ok cool, but where's Snake." That's fucking impressive.

 

[Red Arremer]

Lucina is not listed as a newcomer on the site either.

- Lucina is a Marth clone (as evidenced by the fact that she is listed as a discrete character on the Smash website)

However she IS listed as newcomer on her own page. We never had the happenstance of 2 characters of the same series being listed as newcomers at the same time (or at all, really), so it's still up in the air.

 

[Kouichi]

Lucina basically confirms that Dark Pit will get similar treatment.

Seems like she's an alt costume or complete clone with different animations and voice.

Edit: oh wait I didn't see the newcomer next to her name aaaah my bad. I still think this increases Dark Pit's chances though. I wonder how much of a clone she is.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Heh, looks like Sals leaker is either very confused about Nintendo characters, or is finally wrong.

 

[zroid]

I really hope Lucina's actually a clone and not an alt... yikes that would be sad

 

[Dryk]

I think she's going to blur the line between alt and clone heavily. A lot of her animations look custom but I'm willing to beat her properties will be exactly the same.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Oooh, never mind then! Clones!

Dark Pit confirmed! Maybe Lucas too.

 

[User 73706]

Actually, look at this - Lucina was updated on the Smash site to a "newcomer".

So, NOT a Marth clone/alt.

http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/lucina.html#

So both Robin AND Lucina are new characters with novel movesets.

She could still be a clone just as easily, though.

 

[Ahnez]

That could be his intro.

Star Fox stage?

edit: or just beginning of the game.

Good! Even if she's a clone I'm glad she's in.

Considering the Villager, we'll likely get a few combinations of hair/face for each gender, maybe even class outfits. You'll have to compromise with the name, though - I guess it'd kind of work with just the player name?

 

[PadWarrior]

Captain falcon was so wicked in that vid!

 

[SliceSabre]

There's a major difference between clone and alt.

 

[Kouriozan]

Oooh, never mind then! Clones!

Roy am cry.

 

[TomShoe]

Welp

Looks like Captain Falcon still has his olf Final Smash

It looks more like his entrance.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Heh, looks like Sals leaker is either very confused about Nintendo characters, or is finally wrong.

Or, after being in development for a few years, the roster changed from what was leaked so long ago.

 

[georly]

So excited yeah. Like i mentioned before, dark pit uses his own weapons in addition to the silver bow, so his neutral b and melee attacks can remain mostly the same. He can also fly forever, unlike pit. This leads me to believe that his down, side, and up B moves will be different from pit.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

The site won't load up for me.

LET'S GO

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Meh. Not a fan. I must be Señor Pissy Pants. Captain Falcon was sweet beets though.

 

[DaBoss]

Mobile site:

Normal site:

 

[Kurtofan]

But the leak said that there were only three more newcomers and none of them were Robin or Lucina. No faith can save you from fact.

Did he say that?!

 

[Kriken]

So Robin is the newcomer, Lucina is another newcomer, Falcon is the veteran and Chrom is the FS for Robin then?

 

[Clov]

Lucina probably doesn't have the newcomer banner since they only drew one bit of Fire Emblem artwork, with both her and Robin. She's listed as a newcomer on her own page, so I'm betting on that she's a clone.

Not even upset though. I can play as Lucina, that's good enough for me.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Or, after being in development for a few years, the roster changed from what was leaked so long ago.

Pretty much. Here's hoping Chorus Kids weren't changed to Marshal, or cut entirely.

Did he say that?!

No he did not.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Mobile site:

Normal site:

Great!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Clones are newcomers, she's probably an alt.

We haven't had a clone new comer for Smash 4 yet, how would you know that they wouldn't be labeled?

 

[Ahnez]

Here

 

[Glass Rebel]

If Lucina is a clone, I will cry. That'd mean a Fire Emblem spot taken from the rightful king, Ephraim.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Did he say that?!

No, but he said Shulk was today...

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

And I am a fan of Fire Emblem...

 

[Red Arremer]

Or, after being in development for a few years, the roster changed from what was leaked so long ago.

Yes, of course the leak is still right, despite the fact Chrom was debunked.

 

[emb]

Clones hyppppe

It's like alt costumes but better.

 

[Kouriozan]

So Robin is the newcomer, Lucina is another newcomer, Falcon is the veteran and Chrom is the FS for Robin then?

Looks like it.

 

[Kurtofan]

Star Fox stage?

edit: or just beginning of the game.

Pilotwings stage, must be Fox''s intro.

 

[Starphoenix]

But the leak said that there were only three more newcomers and none of them were Robin or Lucina. No faith can save you from fact.

Actually, that's incorrect. People interpreted the information to mean we were only getting three more new characters, but he only said Chrom, Shulk, Palutena, X/Y Pokémon, and Chorus Men were playable (in addition to Mii and Pac-Man who were not revealed at the time).

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

So Robin is the newcomer, Lucina is another newcomer, Falcon is the veteran and Chrom is the FS for Robin then?

You evil edit ninja, you.

 

[Diprosalic]

Female Robin is main material but i will end up playing the one who feels best tho.

 

[Brainfreeze]

If Lucina is just an alternate costume for Marth, why would she get her own "Smashes in" portion in the video? Doesn't that only occur for discrete characters?

Notice the "?!"

 

[InvincibleAgent]

On the mobile site its the wide one.

Confirmed

 

[Mariolee]

But the leak said that there were only three more newcomers and none of them were Robin or Lucina. No faith can save you from fact.

I don't recall it saying "only".

 

[BassForever]

Gematsu never said Chrom/Shulk/Chorus Men were the last 3 newcomers, he just said they would be in the game and playable. Chrom is clearly NOT playable

 

[Papercuts]

This emotional roller coaster does not end.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

If Lucina is a clone, I will cry. That'd mean a Fire Emblem spot taken from the rightful king, Ephraim.

Buy a box of Kleenex ASAP.

 

[Omzz]

Also wonder how the sword mechanic works for Robin. At points he has a regular sword, at others he has the Levin Sword

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Shulk is more deserving.

 

[munchie64]

Mobile site:

Normal site:

Yep definitely a "clone". I wanna see how close she is to Marth.

 

[Jintor]

This looks like her intro animation, so she probably has her own spot on the select screen

Whoever's taking screenshots (Sakurai?) is having too much fun

 

[Kouichi]

So excited yeah. Like i mentioned before, dark pit uses his own weapons in addition to the silver bow, so his neutral b and melee attacks can remain mostly the same. He can also fly forever, unlike pit. This leads me to believe that his down, side, and up B moves will be different from pit.

The only thing that works against Dark Pit is why didn't they reveal him alongside Palutena like Lucina? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Holy shit guys I just watched the trailer again.

IKE HAS BLUE FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
