Super Smash Bros for 3DS: New Characters Video LEAKED! (SPOILERS)
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
For completeness, here are the characters that are NOT returning in a playable form. Characters not present in Brawl in italics.
Incredibly satisfied with the roster!
Outside Ice Climbers (and Mewtwo), the cuts are relatively reasonable. I wish Ganondorf would use a sword, even if he remained a clone of Captain Falcon, but we're yet to see his custom moves, so, let's wait and see -- speaking of clones, don't really mind Dark Pit. (Dr. Mario is pretty random, though). Glad to see R.O.B. back, considering that, realistically, he was in a more dangerous position than the Ice Climbers. The ideas of many newcomers are very interesting, and both new iconic characters (Shulk!) and cult classics (Duck Hunt!) finally make their appearance.
I won't say no to DLC, but I'm very content with what we're getting. The game selection has great variety, both fighter- and character-wise. Looking forward to playing the game.
- Mewtwo
- Pichu
- Roy
- Ivysaur
- Squirtle
- Wolf
- Lucas
- Ice Climbers
- Snake

People do it for other games. Why wouldn't they do it for Smash?
People are really good at faking screenshots these days...
Awesome! I played the Smash Demo yesterday at the Galleria....Greninja <3
They are Clones, so it does make sense.
Or they found a work around for the 3DS but couldn't get it finished in time so they were planned DLC once they're finished (and maybe included with the Wii U version at launch).
Toon Link is still with the Zelda characters.
I'll miss Lucas.
But between Mega Man, Greninja, Palutena, Lucina, Robin, Shulk, and the Duck Hunt dog, I've had my newcomer fill, and then some.
Glad to see a leak that finally panned out. At least what we have here would be incredibly difficult to fake.
Also, Xenoblade music for Smash! Hell yeah!

They were proven real once the Famitsu scan matched the Tomodachi stages. Anyone that didn't believe it after that was in complete denial.

Shulk is in. I'm happy. 
No. Characters arent exclusive to a version. Only exclusive stuff is different game modes and levels.

Brawl mods don't even come close to this.
It isn't, there is still space in character select-screen and the leaker said, he didn't unlock All-Star-Mode yet.

Why dark pit though?
I'm sad we know the whole roster now.
Several spots on there for more characters. No telling if this is the full roster or not.

Blame Nintendo. They probably could have made him more relevant somehow but nope. Ness re-claimed his rightful spot as the Mother representative.
This roster is looking MASSIVE. I'll say that.

Can someone explain to me like I'm 31 why the 3DS would have trouble with Ice Climbers?

This happens every time a new Smash comes out: people in outright denial once the leaks start rolling in pre-launch. There was a lot of crow served when Brawl hit too.

Shulk is in (and looks fucking awesome).
That's all i need to know.

I am beyond excited for Shulk. I am so happy he made it in.
Because anyone would be able to tell it's fake if it was a Brawl mod. Just go look around at some Brawl mods and compare them to these videos. None of them look this good (even if the quality of the recording is really bad). And again, I stress, no one in the Brawl modding community is this good to be able to pull this off.
But again, feel free to not believe it until you hear from Sakurai or until the game launches.

Somewhat depressing that the surprises are almost over.

From what I saw, he looks like Marth and every other sword using character. Am I missing something?

Leaker said he, Lucas and a few others would be DLC.

Frame rate issues I'm guessing.
Me too! D:

Yeah, very pleased with this so far. Pretty much every character I wanted is in.

I hope the dlc is real. I want snake. And yessss...Falco! Falco is my main man.
I tried to accept the possibility of the leak being real, but ugh I'm just not a fan of this roster at all. The only newcomers that interest me are Mega Man, Robin and Lucina, the latter being an inferior version of one of my mains. Judging from gameplay footage I doubt Mega Man with match up with my playstyle either.
Might just skip the 3DS version and wait for Wii U.

Probably the same reason as Lucina. Started off as a skin, but they decided to make some changes. Lucina and Dark Pit are more extra characters than something that has been done at the expense of other characters.
The 3DS has a pretty shitty processor in it. Since Sakurai is hellbent on maintaining 60 fps in the 3DS version, having the potential of eight characters on screen at once is going to wreak havoc on the framerate, unless they applied a frame limiter on their animations and capped them at 30 fps, like the Pokemon and the Assist Trophies, which would look dreadful next to the playable characters that are still running at 60 fps.
