I'm gonna be upset if it's TP Ganondorf and not OOT/WW Ganondorf. TP Ganondorf is too heavy looking, it really hurts his moveset, because in Melee he's not really that slow.

I'm still surprised that Kremlings show up as enemies in Smash Run. Just seems so random given how they have been totally MIA after Returns, technically since Mario Super Sluggers (and Tikis are SR enemies too)
They're just about the only hope I have for a K. Rool appearance (which I'm not anticipating or anything)

I think it's time for us to come to terms with the fact that SSB4 Link will always look like an Improved Haslingden.

No real reason; it's simply that during E3 a lot of people on here were questioning whether it would be since all the demo stations were using XLs. Just one of those little worries that had gone unresolved and can now be put to rest.
Shit, just realized the fire magic detail is totally right (checked the trailer again)! Awesome detail there.
1. Anna: I've already farted enough all over this thread about why she's great. Long history with the franchise, funny, distinctive, etc. Will never complain about a Smash roster ever if this happened. The odds of her actually being DLC though are lol, though.
2. Takamaru: Since we're never getting Lyn, I'd love to see Takamaru as a swordsman repping iaido (which is the coolest sword-fighting technique ever). He's got some cool tools aside from just his sword (which would put him in Robin and Link's camp in terms of moveset diversity) and I'd really like to see him.
3. Inkling: There is crazy amounts of potential in Inklings and I'd love to see them in the context of Smash. Spraying down stages and zipping around on them as a Down-B'd Squid (or something) would be awesome.

Lots of people find the original 3DS's screen too small for 3D games. Smash especially has a lot to follow and the camera is much further from the action than, say, OoT for example.
DLC?
Shadow upgrade to character
IF that cant happen tails
If that can't Happen Ashley Upgrade to character
IF that cant happen
Roy with the new outfit.
As I have mentioned before... I'm not seething over the keyboard over this i'm being a bit silly.
That said, I still find her personality to be... annoying. Intelligent, to some degree sure, down to earth, compared to these down trotten heroes , she seems a bit pompous. Not as much as Chechie or whatever the lady is with the wayvern , but I just found it bit weird it took her this long to come to that conclusion.
It doesn't matter because Say'ri has cool samurai armor.

They're just the Kritter models that've been used in the more recent Mario Sports titles basically (and I think the PAON games too), probably just included them since they had ready resources and it'd be an easy way to pay homage to DKC without having to make models for the old Kremlings.
I think only Fire has that nostalgic animation. Both Wind and Thunder look like they do in Awakening (Elwind is also similar in Ike's games, so it could come from both):

all this discussion about Awakening Anna is pointless, because we all know she's really the RNG goddess

It does look very good on an OG 3DSHuh, honestly it looks fine. That level looks really cool! I haven't seen it too much
Thank you
Thanks!

I think the last two are more likely for the next Smash than DLC, however, I'd like to see:
1. Takamaru; because a katana weilding samurai would be cool.
2. Captain Fleming; from Code Name S.T.E.A.M. because he looks cool and I think would suit the Smash series well.
3. Inklings; because they seem tailor made for Smash.
I always liked Dorf's OoT design more than TP too.

Top 3 DLC:
1. Wonder Red
2. Bayonetta
3. Inkling
All 3 could definitely be very unique fighters.

Yeah, I'm not putting too much stock into it or anything. Just an unexpected thing that I'm happy to see in the game. It doesn't need to have a bigger meaning, but it would be nice

man, Radiant Dawn spells (especially the fire ones) were hilariously over-the-top once you got to the high-end ones

Wait, I take it all back. We're talking DREAM DLC!?

Gotta have pride in what you do.
Say'ri definitely has one of the best designs though.

Needs kh2 sora. Give him his limit form look as an alt.
1. Hades
2. Travis Touchdown
3. Ray MK II/III
I'll be thrilled if any of these are in the game, let alone as DLC.

Not sure if this got mentioned because this thread moves so dang fast but......
Mynintendonews.com is reporting that the full smash Bros roster will be revealed soon on CoroCoro magazine.
http://mynintendonews.com/2014/07/15/full-smash-bros-character-roster-3ds-stages-will-be-reportedly-revealed-in-next-months-corocoro/
It does go on to say that this supposedly happened with SSBB as well but it turns out it wasn't the actual full roster and they were missing some hidden characters. What I'm wondering though is what do you think the chances are that they would actually reveal anything new when this issue comes out? New stage gets revealed at least?

It's been mentioned a couple of times. We're still calming the hype down from yesterday.
Yup, been discussed. I think someone even made a thread. I think if they do have something new, it'll coincide with a reveal trailer on the site or something.
What's happening with Corocoro right now is the ultimate GAF -> Internet -> GAF -> Internet -> GAF -> Internet -> GAF cycle. How many times has it been posted just in this thread already?

I sincerely apologize for the repost, I really am almost always totally caught up with this thread but combination of having over 100 pages in freaking 48 hours plus being swamped at work today, there was no way I was catching up and just skipped to the end.
Yeah, I really doubt Sakurai would reveal a brand new character in a magazine publication but I figured he may let some new info be published like a new stage or some new/returning items or something.

I love Radiant Dawn spells. Was disappointed to never see such over-the-top spells again. I do love some Awakening spells tho, Thoron being one of my favorites (looking at profile drawing) so I'm reaally glad it is in
lol at "suck my giblets."

Anybody think that its possible 3rd parties may get a stage but not a character? Like Rayman could be represented by the trophy and possibly a Rayman Legends stage on Wii U but not actually have him playable.

Going off of characters I expect to be cut:
Snake
Mewtwo
Lucas
Assuming everyone from the past is in and dream situation, I dunno...Viewtiful Joe, Leon Kennedy, Phoenix Wright.
I stopped going to the site when I realized they get 80% of their news 7 hours after someone on GAF made a thread about it. Also, the comment section was usually cancerous and filled with trolls and console warriors

I could see a quick port of a Street Fighter IV stage in the 3DS Version, just throw in some platforms and you're golden.
If that happens I'd want a Tetris stage.

That probably would be a good compromise. Even if only the most iconic of characters deserve a playable spot, I don't see why something like a Castlevania or Phoenix Wright stage wouldn't fit in. And the music that'd be brought along with it...

Okay, I've been really busy with work since the Robin/Lucina/Captain Falcon reveal and haven't really had a chance to air my thoughts here on everything that's happened since, so I'll do so now in a rather random order:
- Sakurai is a master at misdirection and I love it. We were all so sure it'd be Shulk, and it totally wasn't, and while I still hope Shulk is in (mainly because I want the Chorus Men/Marshall), I love it. For the first time since Rosalina we really don't know what's coming next, and it's awesome. That said, Sakurai did still say we're nearing the end of the newcomer trailers, so I don't think it's wise to expect anything TOO outlandish. We're still getting to the end of the newcomers, surprise Robin/Lucina reveal or not.
- Upon further reflection (and other people have said this already), I don't think Monday's non-Shulk reveal debunks the Sal Romano leaks. His leaks never claimed to know/have everything, and this is really no different at all from when Rosalina was revealed even though she had never been in a Sal Romano leak either. I think Sal's leak gives us one (big) part of the overall picture, but Sakurai and his team have done an incredible job keeping things under wraps, so naturally it's not going to have everything. The bit about Chrom being on the list does hurt its legitimacy, but more and more it's sounding like the guy who's giving Sal his info might not even know who Chrom actually is. (Plus, there's also the thing about the GameFAQs post from over a month ago saying Lucina would be getting in but not Chrom, which is interesting if nothing else.) The fact remains that 8 out of 11 (so far) is a really great ratio that gives the leaks a lot of credence. The fact ALSO remains that two of those leaked characters were Wii Fit Trainer and Mega Man, the former of whom literally zero people would have ever guessed (nor did they), and the latter of whom many had discounted due to Capcom murdering the character and franchise the way they have in the last few years. So yeah, I'm not anywhere near ready to call Sal's leak debunked; I just don't think it ever had the whole picture, nor did it ever claim to.
- I can't believe there was ever any debate about what Lucina was. How could anyone have ever thought she was just an alt costume for Marth when she had her own box on the website? Some people...
- I'm not that knowledgable about Fire Emblem (I've only ever played the beginning of The Sacred Stones and the demo of Awakening), but *man* it really seems like people have gone from wanting Lucina like crazy to rallying against her very quickly (which isn't that uncommon for SmashGAF, I suppose). Is it because she's a clone? From what I understand about Awakening's story, there's not much else she actually could have been, so what exactly were people expecting with Lucina? I will say that it's a little disappointing that she seems to be the "cloniest" clone ever, though, with only one difference between her and Marth.
- I'm seeing a lot of disappointment about Chrom, too, which kinda surprises me. Wasn't the general sentiment about Fire Emblem reps in Smash already that there are too many similar-looking blue-haired sword users? Chrom would just have been another one of those, whereas Robin (even if I don't personally care about him/her) is a truly unique Red Mage-type character who breaks that Fire Emblem sword user archetype. Obviously Marth and Lucina are fast and lithe while Ike is powerful and slow; Awakening fans, what would Chrom have brought to the table that's unique? Would he have served as a sort of middle ground between Marth/Lucina and Ike? I'm curious as to what Chrom would have offered that people are disappointed they're missing out on.
- On the subject of Chrom, you people still fooling yourselves into believing he still has a chance at playable status really need to stop, if only to not drag out the disappointment into a slow, painful thing for yourselves. I don't have any feelings on Chrom either way so it's not personal, but it's been made clear as day that Chrom isn't playable; Nintendo even issued a direct statement after the reveal saying "Chrom is not playable in Super Smash Bros." It really doesn't get any clearer than that. If he somehow ends up being playable, though, I'll be happy to eat crow.
- I'm really, really trying not to be concerned about Marshall/the Chorus Men now, but a seed of doubt has wormed its way into my mind. After being so sure about Sal's leak for so long, I'm now a little worried since Shulk and whoever the Rhythm Heaven rep ends up being are no longer a certainty. I know I said I still think Sal's leak is legit, and I do, but I can't help but be a bit concerned only because a Rhythm Heaven rep would be super fucking awesome.
- I'm already set because I have Mega Man, but if a RH rep gets in along with Ness, Jigglypuff, and the Ice Climbers returning (now that Falcon is back), I'll pretty much have my perfect roster.
1. Rhythm Heaven rep
2. Dixie Kong
3. Wart (yeah right, heh)
Thanks! And yeah, I do, but I don't consider an enemy in Smash Run enough of a sign that we're definitely getting a Rhythm Heaven character. We already know there are logos for games/series that don't have any character representation in the game, like Pilotwings. My gut still tells me Shulk and a RH rep are coming, I'm just not 100% sure anymore...
