Also since I'm here can I ask a question about FE:A since I don't wanna go around digging for its thread? Theres a character called Panne. I used up all her attacks. How do I get more for this character? None of the shops sell a attack for her? Any spotpass map have it? Its the most confusing thing, upto Chapter 10. (I started it on July 1st so perfect timing. Too bad my Robin is named Clara and has short pink hair. Should've stuck to defaut Robin damnit.)

Some shops in the coming chapters will sell them, they're called Beaststones.
 
Anyone able to translate the new scans? I'm really curious if it has anything new to say about Lucina--that's an awful lot of text for all of her moves so I wonder if it explains some other differences between her and Marth.
 
What mag was that taken from? And that screen with Lucina and Kirby is awesome. And this confirms what I was saying about her earlier, being able to wear the mask? Maybe a taunt puts it on her face? Same taunt can take it off.
 
Just from looking at the icons it confirms the special move layout of Robin that many were speculating--Neutral is Thunder, Side is Arcfire, Up is Elwind, and Down is Nosferatu. Looks like it has a name for their Final Smash as well.

Lucina doesn't have a Final Smash shown, but I bet it's probably the same as Marth's.

Famitsu. Somehow that image of Lucina wearing her mask looks wierd. Probably bad angle

Didn't Elwind fire downwards in the trailer, though? Does this mean Robin doesn't have an Up B recovery?

Wolf is definitely not subtly different from Fox, he's pretty much entirely different. :P

Curse my desire to mostly want to hang out in the grey area when posting so I don't step on people's toes. I actually do agree that Wolf is very different, but to people thinking in a least common denominator way I can see why it isn't 100%.

Same here. They are pretty cool, but I still wish that they would show Takamaru slashed the Logo.

Just imagine:

Trailer begins without that slashing intro and we shift to a sumi-e ink scene (think Okami) of a bamboo field at night and hear nothing but footsteps on the ground as three figures dart in and out of hiding. Camera switches focus and we see Greninja leaping up into the light of the full moon firing a volley of water shuriken and Sheik tossing needles at some figure darting through the area. Finally, Sheik goes all in and deploys a Burst Grenade that is then struck and deflected with a bolt of lightning, detonating off target. The camera refocuses on the wall of flames with Shiek and Greninja in full alert expecting something. Suddenly:

The flame wall dissipates as someone from behind it cuts in the two directions of the Smash logo. The sword is sheathed as the character gets into stance again and as he lunges forward in full view:

"TAKAMARU soars again!"
"TAKAMARU draws once more!"
"TAKAMARU heard Heath and Azure's pleas!"

"TAKAMARU gets ignored by Sakurai* :P
 
In the screenshot to the right of the one of Lucina wearing her mask you can see she's actually throwing her mask away, with a single caption for both pictures. Can't read Japanese, but I would guess this means you put on her mask with an input (likely a taunt) and can take it off with another.
 
Saw the Famitsu scans. So it looks like Lucina can don her mask during gameplay, but she doesn't tuck her hair in. Also, when Kirby sucks Lucina, he gets the mask, too. :-O

I wonder how he'll change swords then, if all his special moves are Tomes.
Click to expand...
That was actually explained in today's pic of the day. Robin switches to the Levin Sword when you input a smash attack, even midair. But it can only be used for a certain amount of attacks before it breaks, after which you have to use the Bronze Sword until the Levin Sword regenerates.

I saw as well. Kind of weird for Kirby to get the mask but not her hair. I mean, what if people didn't know the mask belonged to Lucina? Not that it matters all that much, really.

I've been reading through some of the Japanese bulletin boards in light of the latest Famitsu, and I found some new info.

1. Lucina was originally included as a Marth skin.
2. “A certain character” was cut during development. (Chrom? Who knows. It's not clarified.)
3. Sakurai didn’t want to reduce the total number of characters.
4. It wasn’t possible to make a brand new character on short notice.
5. Lucina was repurposed into her own character slot to fill the void.

Seems like really specific and weird things for Famitsu to talk about. Doesn't sound like Nintendo to just come out to famitsu and say "Hey, you know, we had another brand new character that we cut and replaced with a clone! PEACE"

This place felt too calm today, I knew something was up.

Boss Doggie said:
Why are people just now react on moves functioning similarly?

Did people not react the same when Luigi and Pikachu have similar looking Side B's? Surely the internet has been born by then.
Click to expand...

To be fair I hated half of the new side moves added in Melee... and I did complain about many being somewhat similar. Just not on the internet.

I especially loathed Fox's one.

As if Mega Man has a chance, he's not even a Nintendo character.

Based on that it sounds like they probably axed Chrom. Then repurposed him as Robin's FS.
