Nah, it's probably exclusive to Lucina because she's Sakurai's waifu. /s

Regarding Chrom not making the cut... Personally, I -vastly- prefer Lucina and Robin, so it's all good in my neighborhood. But I do appreciate Chrom. In terms of what he could offer, he could be as good as Sakurai wanted to make him.

A couple cool ideas: An adult-sized Ice Climbers-style character in the form of "Chrom & Lucina," referencing Awakening's Pair Up mechanic (now seen in Robin's Final Smash). OR, a standalone Chrom who could conjure up his comrades for quick attacks, similar to Zelda's Phantom Slash. So hit B to call Robin for a quick spell, Forward B for Frederick to dash forward on his horse, Up B for a pegasus recovery with Sumia, etc. If it were technically feasible, and the designers were willing, it would've been really unique, at least from a visual standpoint.

But yeah, I'm cool with what we got. Ecstatic, even. Lucina was my favorite character in Awakening, and while I was indifferent to Robin in that game, his design looks great in Smash and they're doing amazing things with his move-set.

Robin for me was my number one wanted Fire Emblem rep, so I'm ecstatic. I love the idea of a sword wielding mage, so he's almost definitely going to be one of my mains.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Girl dodged like six or seven 70% chance to hit attacks in a row when I first saw her. She's got Lady Luck in her pocket for sure.


I'd actually strongly considering getting this mod if this happened, haha. Good luck!

Ive come to the realization that when I get a 3DS and fire emblem, im gonna wifey anna

FYI, those are the PDP controllers that are basically Classic Controllers in GCN-inspired shells, not the official GCN controllers that Nintendo is releasing.

Dang I'll totally bite on one of those. I just want a gamecube controller for the feels and familiarity, I don't need it to be wired and all competitive focused or anything so this looks perfect for me! Any place to bite or a price yet?

 

[akidnamededdy]

There's definitely a few Awakening areas that would be cool, but even as I was playing the final chapter, I was thinking how badass of a stage it would be. We already have the music confirmed, now we just need the arena to play it in!

Link plz, that's super cool.

I said it earlier and since the heat from competitive vs casual has died down, I'll say it again. I really hope the reveal trailer used a build that was made after e3 and that is a sign for other characters as well

 

[Loco4Coco]

Stop quoting that gif. please.

 

[justchris]

I wonder if sharing trophies / collectibles between Wii U and 3DS still is a thing?
Or do we have to start over on the Wii U?

What I've been thinking is that they might not have all the same trophies. Maybe clearing classic mode and all-star mode on 3DS give you trophies of 2 of their special attacks. And then clearing classic & all-star on Wii U gives you trophies of their other two special attacks. And maybe Wii U has a 3rd single player mode, and clearing that gives you the Final Smash trophy? That's probably too much to hope for, but not something I would put past Sakurai to do. If you want to collect everything, gotta get both games.

I'd love to see a Nights stage from Sega and a Resident Evil 4 stage from Capcom. Also Castle Rock from Rayman Legends with Black Betty would be amazing.

*mind blown*

That reminds me, I dunno if it's been brought up here yet but the For Glory version of Coliseum was shown off during the trailer yesterday. http://imgur.com/a/5R5pt

They're talking over it the whole time, but it's there. So epic!

I noticed that too! Glad walk-offs are getting FD style stages as well.

Here's something fun: now that Captain Falcon is confirmed, rank the remaining unconfirmed Brawl vets (plus Mewtwo, I guess) in terms of how much you care about them returning in Smash 4!

1. Ness
2. Mewtwo
3. Meta Knight
4. Ganondorf
5. Wario
6. Snake
7. Mr. Game & Watch
8. Ice Climbers
9. Wolf
10. Jigglypuff
11. Falco
12. R.O.B.
13. Lucas
14. Squirtle
15. Ivysaur

Maybe L-canceling is back?

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Never could stand Wario or Waluigi as characters, sorry! Though to be honest, if only like my top seven unconfirmed vets up there made it into Smash 4 and the rest were cut, I wouldn't really be *too* sad about it. (Shots fired, I know. )

My list would look something like this:

1. Ness
2. Wario
3. Ice Climbers
4. Mr. Game & Watch
5. Jigglypuff

And the rest I'm not interested in enough to rank individually; I have my top five, and the rest are all at the same level. Frankly, I wouldn't be too upset if most of them got cut.

Same for Marth, too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0ej06eP_uY&t=1m18s

Apparently the landing lag this time around is either too much or none at all.

 

[Moonlight]

Maybe L-canceling is back?

My feelings would be very mixed.

 

[JStein0222]

I don't think I'll ever have the hands for L-canceling

Nice to see little to no landing lag. Hope it's universal for the entire cast.

I don't think they're limited to that mode - haven't we seen some of them being used offline?

 

[Cody_D165]

I doubt they'd limit them to only be usable online, hoping you can access them on a separate tab in the menu screen or perhaps by holding a certain button while loading the stage a la Mushroomy Kingdom in Brawl.

Eh, I see what you mean.

Speaking of GCN controllers, I should see about customizing the orange one I own. It's perfect for the Varia Suit.

I was hoping my comment would catch moonlight's attention.

 

[JStein0222]

One of my favorite features...I'd be surprised if they were only available online, seems like a strange way to block some content. What if you want to play for Glory locally?!?

Edit: Beaten to death like posting the coro coro Aug 12 info

 

[Forkball]

Lucian is so redundant. We already have Palutena as a goddess, but now we have two.

 

[justchris]

either Lucina is top tier or landing lag has been fixed across the board, win/win either way

Eh, I hope they didn't fix it across the board. I still think that the stronger hits should have higher landing lag, while weaker hits should have less. It should very much be a risk/reward metric. Sure, you can use your aerial for a kill, but you risk being punished. Otherwise, you can stick with this aerial for an approach, it's fast with little to no lag, but it's not gonna net you much damage or knockback (of course, that will just make it better to combo off of into your killer aerial).

Robin for me was my number one wanted Fire Emblem rep, so I'm ecstatic. I love the idea of a sword wielding mage, so he's almost definitely going to be one of my mains.

Robin was the Fire Emblem character I expected, until the Gematsu leak kept being right time after time after time, and I finally resigned myself that it was gonna be Chrom. And when Robin came floating down it brought me almost back to E3 levels of Smash Bros. hype.

I thiiiink some treehouse rep said you could play it offline during e3 week? Maybe I'm making that up.

I swore Sakurai said those specific stages are for "Glory" mode only. hope I'm wrong.

 

[Moonlight]

Assuming the landing lag adjustment isn't universal, could be as much proof as we'll get any time soon that Lucina's properties are definitely distinct from Marth outside of her tipper.

 

[theprodigy]

eh....

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Fight me breh. I don't have the hands for any of the advanced Smash tech. I just run around all crazy.

 

[Hello.]

So beautiful.

Spoiler

Of course there's always the chance this footage was used from an earlier build rather than the latest one.

 

[Tan]

Is it weird that I want momentum to be brought back to jumps before all the advanced tech?

Assuming the landing lag adjustment isn't universal, could be as much proof as we'll get any time soon that Lucina's properties are definitely distinct from Marth outside of her tipper.

I hope people didn't believe the tipper to be the only difference... we've never had a clone that clone-y.

 

[JediLink]

I'm not getting too hyped about landing lag just yet. It could just be auto-cancelled.

 

[Moonlight]

I hope people didn't believe the tipper to be the only difference... we've never had a clone that clone-y.

There was a lot of stuff about whether or not Lucina would literally just be Marth with no sweet spot on her sword earlier in the thread.

It was, y'know, kind of silly!

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Ash, never go to Vegas when Sakurai makes an awesome Smash reveal again. You were missed on GameXplain. I like listening to Batman and Robin, but it's just not the same without Nightwing.

Aw, thanks! I'm glad I was missed. Honestly, I was just as heartbroken that I had to miss those discussions too; I REALLY wanted to be in them and I know Andre and Derrick wanted me to be too, but newsworthiness/timeliness trumps all and I was stuck in the car driving back from Evo after the trailer aired. (I actually wanted to leave Sunday night so I could be back home in time for Monday morning, but the friends I was with outvoted me on that. At the very least, I gave them the condition that if they wanted me to do any of the driving back, it would be after 7am!)

I know it's not exactly the same thing, but before we recorded the Rayman trophy discussion last night, Andre and Derrick mentioned that they wanted to fold my thoughts on Robin/Lucina/Captain Falcon into our weekly screenshot discussion on Thursday night to make up for the fact that I wasn't able to talk about them in the actual discussion, so you can look forward to that at least!

 

[JStein0222]

Let's be best friends.


Just checked and saw the PDP controller is actually available for pre order on Gamestop's site and only $25, looks perfect for gamecube fans that aren't competitively minded like me

 

[OricWindstar]

Robin was the Fire Emblem character I expected, until the Gematsu leak kept being right time after time after time, and I finally resigned myself that it was gonna be Chrom. And when Robin came floating down it brought me almost back to E3 levels of Smash Bros. hype.

Exact same situation here. As soon as I played Awakening, I thought of cool Robin could be as a rep for Smash, if only because he's not a blue haired swordsmen. That went away with the leaks, but I'm so happy we were all so sure it would be Shulk because, as you said, it went to E3 levels of hype for me. Honestly, I'd say it's the most excited I've been watching a trailer, if only for being 100% sure of something and then Sakurai completely pulling the rug from under my feet.

 

[Mistle]

kind of dispels that "everyone has more landing lag so online works" theory, though. can't just pick and choose which characters to implement something like that on. though then again, i have no idea, haha

edit: i should refresh more often, this was in response to lucina landing lag
