What I mean "baby" is a product of Nintendo-Square collab. How can Square make SMRPG if Nintendo didn't allow it and how would Geno be introduced if SMRPG wasn't created?
It does not really need to be a playable character, though I would love it to be. Even a trophy of sorts is fine. But of course, it's still up to Square to even allow it. And Sakurai is not shy of putting the usual obscure things from other franchises in Smash.
From how I remember the development process going, the collaboration went only as far as Miyamoto being a creative director on the Square team who developed the game.
All the characters created for SMRPG are Square's creation, not Nintendo's.
And in those almost 20 years, including several collaborations between Nintendo and Square-enix, including several Mario games developed by Square-enix that feature Square-enix characters, SMRPG has, to my memory, received a shoutout twice. Once Geno was shown as tutorial host in a minigame in one of the Mario & Luigi games. And the second time was one SMRPG music track being remixed in one of the Itadaki Street games.
That's it. There's been several ample opportunities for Nintendo and Square-enix to revive the SMRPG characters with the Square-developed Mario crossovers, but they never took the chance. Square rather put in FF and DQ characters.
Yeah, and Sakurai would probably laugh them out of Namco-Bandai's offices, which is why we're not getting a Square-Enix character.
Wait, we're talking Squeenix reps and the first one mentioned wasn't Neku?
For shame...
See people complain that Smash is getting "too animU" lol
I wouldn't protest if he's ever considered. One of the best SE characters ever produced since Square-Enix was conceived.
Captain Falcon looks amazing. His poses seem more natural than Brawl's, if that makes any sense.
Fox is horrible in comparison.
well I haven't done it before... >.>
You are feeding him off with power.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Best chance was Mario 3-on-3.
Seriously. Developed by SE, had Final Fantasy cameos...based around teams of three...
Mario, Geno, Mallo. BOOM. Perfect oppurtunity.

I'm sure I noticed this a while ago, but I totally forgot to notice it recently. That's a very awesome and great point.
I don't like that the stocks are BELOW the profile picture and percent, though.
That is a small thing, but it was better before. Not sure that the headshots are need.
I still think they're doing some voodoo magic on Fire Emblem. When they revealed Marth I was shocked at how good he looked, same with Ike. Fox looks so shitty, lol.

Considering some of the characters Sakurai has put in the games, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd be completely behind Lighting.

... I actually am a huge Lightning fan...
To what end? They have no reason to promote the XIII line anymore. If they were doing something for a promo they'd probably try to spread awareness for KH3, FFXV, or Bravely 2.
It could have been any character, the joke worked anyway.
Probably already been mentioned but this is the one SE character I'd love to see:
Really anyone from the series, but Crono would have to represent first.
...Red haired Goku? /s
In what way? Do you mean when he switches to the Levin sword? Actually, I'd like to know if there's a way to manually switch or if it only pops up when you exhaust your tomes.
By the way, I'm basing my disappointment off this article: http://www.gonintendo.com/s/233268-...-bros-wii-u-3ds-why-chrom-didn-t-make-the-cut

Yeah, now that I think about it, why didn't SE develop a new Mario RPG for the Wii or DS when they were developing Hoops and Sports Mix? Like, the moment was perfect right then and there. Even if it didn't have to do with SMRPG, just a new console Mario RPG by SE would've been a really big deal at the time.
I think it would be awesome if Paper Mario were playable, probably would be a very unique character.
... but SMRPG is GOAT

Off topic, but it's been confirmed that Palutena got a new VA right? I knew she sounded off, but I was sure I read it somewhere that a tweet was tweeted about it.

Exactly. And they did not take that opportunity and opted to include Final Fantasy characters and, in the Itadaki Street games, Dragon Quest characters instead. You wanna guess why?
The "realistic" looking humans look absolutely fantastic. The Fire Emblem guys, Zero Suit Samus, Palutena, the non-Toon Zelda characters, Falcon, Little Mac, even Wii Fit Trainer. They all look incredibly nice. Only Pit looks a bit TOO animu for my tastes.
And it's not even some sort of bias against animals - Donkey, Diddy, Yoshi and the Pokemon also look super awesome.
It's just that Smash is going after Star Fox Command's art style, and that art style is super extremely awful and dumb and doesn't look like animals at all. Plus, for Smash 4, they're very lazy with the fur textures on Fox as well.
I don't think I would mind Fox as much if they went SF64 3DS's head and Smash 4's body/clothes, plus not making his fingers look like turds.

I don't see what's disappointing about this...?
No, in the introduction video, we see him twice use either a tilt or jab attack, that finishes with a magic attack. First one is fire, the other one is wind, and they match the color of the Tome he has out at the time, but don't match any of the spells mapped to his 4 specials and don't get the name of the spell called out. In addition, we see that when he does a grab, it has a lightning affect, and he has the Yellow Tome out at the time.
The color of the Tome only changes when you use a special, so until you use another one, your non-smash attacks appear to use the magic of whatever your current Tome is. It might just be for jab finishers and throws, but if that's the case, it appears that his jab with the Fire Tome is actually different from his jab with the Wind Tome even before the finisher (although with the Fire Tome, it's possible he did a tilt then a jab).
Edit: Levin Sword comes out when you do Smash Attacks, and you can also Smash in the air to use the Levin Sword instead of the Bronze Sword. Levin Sword and Tomes are exhausted separately. Sorry, didn't read that part earlier, but that info was in the Famitsu article that came out later.
Quickly regenerate, that's good.

Apparently the Levin sword is just activated whenever you do a smash attack and has it's own 'resource' that runs out with usage. When it 'breaks' you are unable to use it again until an amount of time has passed or you die. It has no connection to your tome usage

Finally watching EVO top 8. I'm only one match in and I'm already mesmerised. Those Young Link's UAirs...
Wait until you get to Silent Wolf vs Axe
I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Lucina is lucky that she is so easy.
Pika Pika indeed
Hey weren't you supposed to be done with this thread after they announced Miis and Palutena?

Imagine being that one person with no one behind him. That has to be worse than knowing how many people are in front of you.

No I think its the same girl.
EDIT: Behind The Voice Actors says it's different but unconfirmed
Nope. Iirc, the original VA stated her friend is voicing for palutena.

You would think that there would be a bunch of people who buy the game, get online once, and do pretty much nothing that would inflate the numbers so that no remotely active user has a score of 0.
although the thought of it is indeed hilarious
You'd have to go back to my original post to understand:
I was naively expecting a different sort of character without any real basis. I mean, he still seems cool, but I had something like Gen's stance switching in mind (although unlike Gen it would change only the specials instead of all attacks).
Ahhhh, I see what you mean. I hadn't noticed that. That does sound pretty cool actually! It adds another layer of complexity to the character if you want it. Which tomes have throws that send you farther, which one has throws that do more damage, which tomes have good up tilts, etc.
Nice, still hyped.
Ohhhh, now I get it. I thought the sword worked completely differently than it does lol. Interesting. Sounds like you'll have a few things to keep in mind when playing Robin.Apparently the Levin sword is just activated whenever you do a smash attack and has it's own 'resource' that runs out with usage.

In all seriousness was wanting to publicly quit SSB4 because of Mii and Palutena back at E3 a joke or
Why? Cloud is inferior to every single character in the game right before his, and has only appeared on Nintendo systems in spinoffs. I will never understand this.
