Lmao just imagine if Z character got it's own character select slot but was exactly the same as Y visually.

There would be no agreement if it's an Alt or Clone.
Yeah, even if she does get her own slot it's going to be a weird character, like a fake character or something. It's really a strange situation.
 
I'm glad gold Falcon is a real alt. now. That was my main alt. with Brawl hacks.
 
Malarky! Why should Marth get the Roy circumcision?
...wat

I was actually the first person in any smash Gaf thread to actually call dibs so...

And we all know the power of dibs.
Dib. DIBS? Here's what I think of your dibs in the face of true love!

Actually, we're not quite sure what Lucina's situation is. She might not actually have her own slot. And most people are still expecting Shulk and Chorus Kids.

ermm, she is confirmed in her own slot, as a new comer in the smash bros site, in the trailer. It's not a situation of male wii fit trainer / female villager. she is a brand new character. 100% sure she had her own slot, there's no need to fight that


we could get shulk and chorus kids, but now we don't need to rely on that leak as if there won't be any new fighters or lucas. =P

She's actually not confirmed to have her own slot though! And that's true, we might get some other new characters, maybe more clones?
 
Falco.

Plus, we've only seen five moves from her so far.

Ah yes, I forgot Falco. But that's really only Melee. In Brawl while they are similar, the differences in the moves are still instantly spot-able.

And yeah, only five moves, but come on. Five moves that appear to be perfectly identical to Marth's. Realistically the odds are that trend will probably continue with the rest.
 
Yeah they have the image set up, yet they decided against it on the PC site.

I wonder why.

Aesthetics?

If they did that character layout wouldn't have been a rectangular.

I'm just guessing here, but it does raise an eyebrow why they chose to do that with Lucina and not any other character.
 
Lucina isn't an alt. She's listed as a newcomer in many places throughout the site, and she even has her own rectangular box on the mobile site.

The reason why she doesn't have the rectangular box on the regular site is presumably because she shares the same artwork and trailer as Robin.
 
I don't really like how there are so many generic anime looking faces in the game. It's not that I'm against the anime style, but I feel like they needed to gear those types of characters(Fire Emblem guys, Palutena, Zero Suit, and possibly others) towards the original art they were taken from. Instead they seem to be trying to match that genre of character to one bland anime-ish face look. Smash Bros is supposed to be about different aesthetics and art styles all being juxtaposed besides each other. I think this art direction they've gone for with these types of characters is just a little too boring and it's making characters from completely different franchises look like they belong in the same universe/world together. I have no complaints about most characters and how they've stylized and rendered them and they've actually done a pretty good job with most characters. Just kind of upset that the FE guys/girls don't look enough like the great art style they originated from :/

The character layout organizes it self based on your PC's resolution and window size of your browser. It would look fine.
 
I wonder leaker thought Robin was Shulk. :P

A mistake like that is a distinct possibility, especially in light of him naming Chrom and not knowing Greninja's name. At least we still have the Monolith RT, for whatever tiny amount it's worth. I'm really happy Robin is in, but I want Shulk, too: he just looks like an interesting, unique character.
 
What's up with the rigging on his left arm in the opening animation? It looks like his bicep rips out.

There's a lot of this in smash bros so far. You never really notice it until you're looking at looping gifs or screenshots for a while. I wonder if a lot of it will be corrected or put under the category of 'nobody will notice those 2 frames of animation, so it's not worth it.'
 
This Lucina thing is spiraling out of control now. Let's just agree to not talk about it and move on to best newcomer FE female.

So who's maining (fem)Robin? :D

@PKRockin: That's where I've been the whole time but the vitriol shown at even presenting the idea that she's anything but her own character in the face of other active circumstances and the brazenness of people on the other side arguing that she is a Marth alt make me kind of want to go back in time and never say as much.

I am super hyped for the fe newcomers since fe is one of my top favorite franchises really excited to see how robin will play also hopefully blue hair robin will be in so i can just play my awakening character XD
 
Wow I cant believe the leak didnt pan out. This is crazy. Lucinas model looks really bad tho.
Can someone post the supposed 4chan Rabbids rumor?
 
Look, when someone tells me why they didn't just do this:

Then I'll get off the 'Lucina Marth Alt' train.

Until then, choo choo

Because she's a clone so she gets less space than a full-fledged newcomer, and doubling the same art in two different pages would be redundant.
 
Please define it. To some an alt is an alternate costume, to others it seems to be a clone. Then there is the other possibility of an alt being an identical reskin of a character but with a different name, which has never ever happened in smash bros history.
It's a key on the keyboard.
