I didn't meant to change the topic but it's big if we are getting dlc characters. Would Sakurai use the characters that already have their place in assist trophies, pokeball pokemon and final smash?

For me, I don't think so since it would be weird to see assist trophies model next to their playable model.

 

[Hyperactivity]

My dream stage is atop of the Venus lighthouse. Maybe even the Mars lighthouse.

Yeeeees

 

[Vampirolol]

The one posted by Ubisoft is their model wich was probably adjusted by the Smash team later. Hair and body are too different, the nose also looks worse.

 

[JoeInky]

I would rather take this Ridley than no Ridley, particularly because it means that if he's in subsequent Smash titles, he'll be remodeled.

Ridely's design is half of the appeal of the character for me.

Sure, I'd like to slam people into the ground, stab them with my tail and breath plasma on them, but if he looks like that it'll be somewhat soured.

Also when he does get in he should have a "PRESENTS!" taunt.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yay power is back! Stupid typhoon.

RE: Robin's Aerial Smash

The wording actually makes it confusing. It's referring to being able to use the Levin Sword in air than actually performing aerial Smashes.

RE: Pokemon choices

It's actually a bit of both - Sakurai picks who he wants while at the same time being granted a blessing by GF.

Yeah, I agree.

I don't think any character we see in the game already as a Smash Run Foe/Boss/Stage Hazard/AT/Pokeball would be DLC. Maybe normal Trophys, though...

I think when the games come out, any oddly absent character would be the first suspect for DLC.

 

[BGBW]

Is the second one perhaps from the 3DS Version? It looks a little more grainy.

Well resolution ratio wise it matches a Wii U screenshot rather than a 3DS screenshot.

 

[Makai]

Aerial smash attacks?

 

[JoeInky]

Aerial smash attacks?

Ambiguous wording on Sakurai's part, he just means you'll be able to use the levin sword in mid air

 

[BGBW]

Was the Japanese Miiverse Rayman trophy the newer, "cuter" one?

Exact same image.

 

[darkmagus]

The Venus Lighthouse is also one of my favourite hacked Brawl stages. An official version would be beautiful...

The Venus Lighthouse would be cooool, Samurai please!!

 

[Distresssss]

Has this been posted yet? Robin's casting stance is based on the GBA mages.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Yeah, I agree.

Yeah, I could see a lot of assumptions at first until people start to dataming the disc if they can.

 

[JoeInky]

I love the detail on Falcon's new boots.


I need to see the knee though, the knee is all.

 

[PKrockin]

Yeah, I agree.

For the record, ROB.

The exact quote is that it can be 'activated.'

The Levin sword can be activated by using smash attacks--you can even activate these moves in midair!

In the game, the levin sword can be used at melee or at range (with a lightning attack).
http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Levin_Sword

Maybe it's implying the activation is the lightning attack? Since it's not a normal sword swing, it's a magic based lightning attack, it's 'activating' the lightning magic (possibly ranged for full smash attack).

Or maybe it means 'take out the levin sword and replace the bronze sword.'

Ah that attention to detail! Love it.

 

[JoeInky]

This, I think.

Aerial smash attacks just don't seem like they should be a thing.

As a kid I always thought the Mage was flipping the other person off haha

 

[Mr-Joker]

Spoiler

Still hoping Ubisoft's co-operating because Travis Touchdown is in.

Ubisoft doesn't own Travis Touchdown, they just published the game in the US, Nintendo would need to ask Marvelous Entertainment if Travis can be in the game.

Mashpotato please!

lol these names

Are Miiverse posts still okay to post here?

Yeah, really nice detail.

This thread would be a bit buggered if they weren't.

 

[Neoxon]

It's probably nothing, but it would be an interesting way to incorporate the GamePad, & it would explain the more jagged movements of Ridley in the Smash Direct.

The Amiibo part also intrigues me, as it would add more incentive to get the figures.

 

[Azure J]

Re: Trophies

What if they're fully poseable? It'd be like the Super Mario 64 "Mario's face" thing all over again except with every trophy character in the game.

oh god no

 

[Brawl96]

I want awesome gamepad integration, but at the same time I don't want him to change up the basics too much. What am I saying? GIVE ME ANYTHING SAMURAI!!!!

Ha, exclusive moves on NFC?

Also, would ridley fans be sated by that compromise?

That's the Garfield64 rumor that was posted to Gamefaqs. Dunno if he made that image, but interestingly enough a month ago he claimed Gematsu was wrong and Lucina, not Chrom, was in.

 

[theprodigy]

oh god no

oh god yes

 

[Morts]

What the hell is a 'Bonus' character slot supposed to be?

 

[JoeInky]

Also the arcfire is basically PK Fire, I hope they make ness' look different rather than just use the same particle effects.

It'd be cool if they made it look like the melee version which looked more white hot at the center and had that blue shockwave thing, made it look more like physic-fire than just fire, I guess.

Anything that means there isn't reused particle effects anyway.


And please, please, PLEASE make it activate on shield again.
And improve his PK Thunder...
And the yo-yo...
Just stop making Ness shit-tier in general.

 

[JStein0222]

An exclusive custom move I don't think would bother anybody too much and costumes are a nice bonus.

I've been thinking about your second question and I'm going to say no. I want Ridley playable as a normal character or not at all. I can't see the playable boss thing being fun down the line at all.
But aftet thinking about it if we use the yellow devil as an example, touching the screen for where he would shoot his eye blasts seems like a plausible thing that could happen.

 

[BGBW]

Yellow Devil is a boss character and I don't see it being that much fun to play with. Warp across the stage and fire a beam over and over!

I mean I did say using the pad to control hazards could be cool ages ago but that would be for the stage select screen rather than character select screen and it seems to be a bit of a waste of screen space to include not fully playable characters there.

 

[JoeInky]

To make your leak sound more credible, just pretend you don't know what certain characters are, that makes it sound like you're not invested enough in the game to make a leak.

 

[Neoxon]

That's what bothers me. You'd think the guy would just say who's left.

Who else will we make fun of?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

What bosses are those supposed to be anyway?

First one sounds like Yellow Devil, but that doesn't make sense he wouldn't know who that is.

Second...one of the Reapers from Uprising?

Third I guess is recycling Petey Pirahna, but once more he should know that character.

 

[The Bankslammer]

While I don't see any reason to believe that rumor in particular, I've had a hunch there might be a Wii U exclusive boss mode for a while (I don't think this was an uncommon suspicion). Playable boss characters in fighting games, like Galactus Mode in UMvC3, have never really done it for me. It generally feels like you're playing a totally different game, and one that's a lot less fun than just being a normal character at that. I guess we'll see how it turns out if it happens?

edit: also to clarify i mean, like, huge boss characters, not SF2 championship edition type playable boss characters

 

[ShockingAlberto]

People like Falco.

 

[MrSaturn99]

ahahahahahaha oh wow

 

[JoeInky]

Being of the competitive ilk I'd much rather have a new character that can actually add something to the game rather than have them in a side mode that won't be played competitively.


Edit: Also I remember I was going to make a joke about the arcfire meaning that ness is gone, but it's even funnier to see that it's an actual opinion of someone.

How would someone not know who Dark Pit is? He looks identical to Pit except with black hair and clothing. I think the idea of controlling boss characters on their home stage is a good idea and it actually explains why Sakurai has been weird and teasing with Ridley and Dark Pit. I could see him do that even if this specific leak is a fake since im not sure how someone would not know who Petey Piranha is since he was in Brawl or Dark Pit. Although im drawing a blank on the yellow and black ball with a gem in the middle.

 

[TheChits]

People like Falco.

lmao

preferring characters like Ridley being playable is most certainly not limited to competitive players

 

[georly]

I assume the dog and frog are lucario and greninja, and the character is mewtwo? Hah.

this is so true, I don't believe that, is a nice concept for the gamepad but the way this guy is states the "other" bosses is hilarious
