Here's a question, is Luma so important that his name has to be included with Rosalina?

Sorry, rabbits don't make distinctive sounds.

Actually, they do. It's a pretty high pitched squeal, kinda

 

[PsychBat!]

ha, gold membership is so last gen, you plebeian

it's all about that plus membership now

That's not even a thing, pleb. It's Platinum now.

Here's a question, is Luma so important that his name has to be included with Rosalina?

In terms of her moveset he's important.

I've usually heard it called "screaming".

yes

Here's a question, is Luma so important that his name has to be included with Rosalina?

Eh, it was straight up a character in Mario Galaxy and is basically her entire gimmick.

 

[fredrancour]

Here's a question, is Luma so important that his name has to be included with Rosalina?

It's a second character that's with rosalina nonstop. Could totally have made a rosalina character for smash that ran off some space gravity magic without adding a second character as a permanent part of the fighter.

Zelda's phantom only shows up when she down-bs. If she fought with it as a stand constantly, they'd probably have changed the name to zelda and phantom.

Peach only brings out toad to shield. If he were always there then it would probably earn him co-credit.

 

[Prevolition]

In terms of her moveset he's important.

Which makes me think, if Peach used Toad as more than just a shield, would anyone be mad if it became "Peach & Toad"?

It should have just been rosalina

When I say jotaro, star platinum is implied.

 

[Ryce]

Here's a question, is Luma so important that his name has to be included with Rosalina?

Luma has its own weak attacks, dash attack, strong attacks, smash attacks, and air attacks. It's essentially a unique character attached to Rosalina. It's pretty important.

Wooo~! Thanks for making these gifs, IntelliHealth. They always re-ignite my hype.
I still can't believe we're getting so close!

Here's a question, is Luma so important that his name has to be included with Rosalina?

The Luma's as important to Rosalina as the Pikmin are to Olimar (essential to moveset & constant on-screen presence), giving both of them justification for being included in names.

 

[Hatchtag]

Here's a question, is Luma so important that his name has to be included with Rosalina?

Yes, very.
Although, I think Rosalina & Lumas would be a better name, since she can swap between them quiet a bit, and it's not one constant Luma.

 

[timetokill]

I know I'm late for this but I'm stupidly excited about the new arrangement of the DK Rap they're going to do.

I don't think her stand needs to be mentioned.

Hell its not even a stand, its disposable.

thats kind of dark,

 

[WiiRevolution1]

*game comes out,Duck Hunt, Bowser Jr, Shulk, Wario, ganondorf are in but there is additional characters as well. Renders are slightly different, some stage choices are different but mostly the same*

TeamFake: "Told you the leaks weren't real. They didn't get that character and things are a little different! It has to be 100 percent right or it's 100 perent wrong. Anybody could guess all of that stuff by luck, blah blah blah"

I think both sides are certainly capable of twisting things around to come out on top.

That being said, if all the things you mentioned do happen, I certainly will agree this leak was crap.

Eh, I'd say in this case, unlike Gematsu, it has to be 100% correct since it (supposedly) came from a video shown to the ESRB. It would have all the non DLC characters shown I would think.

In regards to the third part of the leak (which includes the Shulk 'render' and the end-game Red Team screen). The guy was just being an attention whore.

Does this mean that Sah already won?

 

[EhoaVash]

hmm question ..how many of you smash fans are only into smash but not the games any of these nintendo characters the smash represent?

 

[Sponge]

I know I'm late for this but I'm stupidly excited about the new arrangement of the DK Rap they're going to do.

It's a shame transformation characters are not a thing anymore. Could you imagine how crazy it would to have these three switching out of barrels? Think Pokemon Trainer.

 

[Benzychenz]

There isn't a series repped in Smash I haven't played, G&W and ROB excluded.

 

[theprodigy]

Is that even possible?

I highly doubt there's a person who's into Smash but NONE of the series represented.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

The whole leak originated from 4chan. A Smashboards mod has as much validity claiming anything as an anonymous user in /v/.

I'm actually not sure that's accurate. I feel like Smashboards mods have less credibility than pretty much anyone on the Internet, anonymous or not.

At least we have Chunky Kong as an assist trophy.

lol

 

[DisconnectD]

I'm not pro but I do like to play at a high tournament level. I'm definitely more of a Glory person but I love to play for Fun as well. I'm about 70/30 but depending on the environment I can go 100% either way. Those of you who befriend me with your 3DS you will have the perfect brother for smashing.

I will say though, I have been shunned by people because I refused to play them with "top tier" characters. As in their reasoning for not even playing me once was that they would never fight a Donkey Kong or Bowser in a live tournament so I wasn't worth their time. If any apple holes like that are lurking about now, show yourself so I can build my ignore list accordingly.

Lol sounds like you'll be a lot of fun to play with. Did you add SwifTFinch?

 

[Tripon]

I'm playing Wind Waker HD for the first time.

Tingle a goddamn miser, sucks and I'm now glad that he was disconfirmed early on in Smash 4.

 

[Sponge]

Agreed. Some of the character discussion threads feel like huge cults or something.

At least we have Chunky Kong as an assist trophy.

lol

Yet another thing Smashboards probably lied about!

 

[Ryce]

thats kind of dark,

When a Luma is killed a new one spawns automatically ~5 seconds later. It's a permanent part of the character.

First, some brief notes on the stages revealed thus far:

• Mario 3D Land features several sidescrolling portions in addition to the standard "platform flying around to different locations." Sounds frustrating, haha.
• Insinuates that the Paper Mario stage will change layouts after pounding the scenery, but I seem to remember reading elsewhere that the layout changes after a certain amount of time (which would seem more logical)
• May or may not have already been announced, but all 3DS stages will feature Final Destination versions as well
• Windy Hill has enormous bumpers positions on both sides of the stage just below the edge--perfect for recovery
• Angel Land is enormous with four different battlegrounds
• Pyrosphere is a simply designed stage, but they noticed "a certain someone's" shadow (implying that Ridley is a boss character a la Yellow Devil)

You have a point. Smashboards members and mods in particular have more to gain (reputation, attention, etc) than anonymous or random Internet users for "leaking" information and validating what the community wants to hear. That in itself should make them unreliable.

Like a stand or a persona, but I dunno I feel like its presence would be implied.

I dunno, its a naming thing I have.

funny i know a guy loved playing melee but never got into any of nintendos games.
like he hates mario, played pokemon card game back in the day but never got into the video games lol

[NMFried]

So I've decided to take a break from lurking (these threads always move so darn fast) to just say how exciting the fact that the leak might be missing characters is.

Have we discussed the idea of Impa, Ridley and Mewtwo as part of the leak?

 

[civilstrife]

Holy shit these were made for eachother.

Not sure. Where did the idea of more characters come from? There was a leak that had Ridley, Mewtwo, and Dixie on it right?

Well I kept seeing a Smashboards post or something that had them as part of it.

Then it set in that the leak + the cut DLC characters + these missing four would be just about the perfect roster.

 

[Drago]

Sweet, don't think this was ever officially confirmed but with For Glory mode appearing on the 3DS version it was to be expected.

Many thanks for translating!

This is probably not something you'd be able to confirm, but is there any mention of there being FD modes for stage alternates (ie, FD mode for every PM transformation, or FD mode for Mushroomy Kingdom 1-2)
