and that's I want don't want to try other newcomer butt palutena first!

11 days... damn, is so close, so what's the plan for colossal SmashGAF party on release day? what should we sing?
 
What's the possible etymology for Shulk's name?

As with every other party member having a name that's altered from a common or historical one, Shulk could just be a loose romanisation of the German surname Schülke. I had missed the possibility because I was convinced it'd be a mistranslation of something Greek or Gnostic like a few other things in the game.

By then we'll know our collective favorite character, so we can sing about them!

Faaaalcon, Falcon PUNCH
Don't get punched by the Falcon PUNCH

(Slower part) Captain Falcon runs so fast, get out of the waaaaaayyyyy
If he runs into you, he'll mess up your daayyyy!!! Yeeeahhh!!!

With his Faaaalcon, Falcon PUNCH

And so on.
 
So if this is the starting roster, who are the first three newcomers you'll try, and who are the first three veterans?

In terms of veterans, I think I'll try:

- Bowser
- Ike
- Charizard

In terms of newcomers, I think I'll try:

- Greninja
- Palutena
- Robin

...but honestly, even as I type the above, I remember, "Oh, but I really want to try Rosalina & Luma," and "Oh, but I really want to try Little Mac," and so on.

And of course, Shulk is constantly on my mind these days. He looks so amazing.

Pretty hard to decide with all the characters in the starting roster.

For my veterans I picked three of my favorites from the past games, and as far as newcomers go I picked Mega Man due to being my most wanted newcomer, and Shulk and Greninja for their playstyle.

Veterans:

- Donkey Kong
- Pit
- Captain Falcon

Newcomers:

- Mega Man
- Shulk
- Greninja
 
So, I've been talked into by friends, and a certain user here, to run a stream on Twitch for this when I get it next Friday.

Would you guys be interested in this? Just checking for interest before I waste my time :p
 
If it's who I think it is.
It's pretty obvious. BUT i'm still trying to piece how it all goes together.
It's obvious as hell.

Major Xenoblade spoilers
I wish the faced mechon were integrated with the converted human instead of just being battle suits. It'd be more horrifying that way, though Fiora would obviously have to be shrunk down to fit with the party.

Vets
Mario
Luigi
Peach

Newcomers
Rosalina
Palutena
Robin (Female)

See if you can spot the pattern.
 
Guys, wouldn't it be cool if we summarized all the rumors, fake leaks and thigns we tought would, wouldn't occur so we could have a good laugh with them some days after release? I know I loved seeing those things after Brawl's release.


Also my first picks (If Ridley is in the game I will lose a bet and have to play with Peach for 12 matches...)

Vets: Bowser, Zelda, Mario

New: Mega man, Pacman, Little Mac
 
Yo SmashGAF! I've been lurking since before E3 and my account finally got validated! Glad I can finally jump on the hype train, even if it's only for the last 2 weeks.

And yeah, I know, "Here forever", all that jazz.

Also, for all that talk about "Shulk is Tidus/Sora/Vaan/Neku", I think people are missing the all-too-plain revelation that Nopon like Riki are actually Gourgeist:

Seriously, if I saw that Riki thing waddling my way, I'd kick that fucker square in the face.
And then you'd probably have your ass handed to you.

It's funny, I wrote off Riki as just the token cutesy joke character, initially. I was sort of right, he is a joke... but not in the direction I'd expected. They'd decided one day during development to give him obscene amounts of health as a laugh, but then wound up keeping it; as a result, the guy's a friggin' beast. 9999 HP (game's max), and he can throw out four damage-over-time statuses on you (which stack) all on his little lonesome. He's no Chao; he's actually a force to be reckoned with.

Boshi (it's JUST sunglasses Nintendo! You own this guy, probably!)
Sunglasses and spats instead of boots, toes exposed, IIRC.

Riki sounds nothing like Tingle, his voice is closer to Kirby's.
His English voice sounds nothing like Kirby. (His first appearance for context.)

as long as the facecam doesn't take up 50% of the screen.
 
In terms of most deserving
by my personal, unfailing metric
guest characters after the three in Smash 4, Crono is preeeeetty high up the list. Mostly because of the lack of a key defining protagonist from the NES/SNES era DQ/FF games. And also because he brings the best music.

It's something like Layton is 1st, then Phoenix Wright, then Simon Belmont, and then Crono.

I would totally watch, I assume you will be ready to take character try out petitions right? :'D
try Link first

I think I will able to watch twitch when I have free time.

Where is the |OT| ?

It wouldn't be out until a week before release date so I would say this Saturday but It might be little late. Xane and I are working on it much as we can.

Yo SmashGAF! I've been lurking since before E3 and my account finally got validated! Glad I can finally jump on the hype train, even if it's only for the last 2 weeks.

Welcome to SmashGAF and I hope that you enjoy losing your sanity here. :)

I also would have also preferred something more lasting. Perhaps a similar situation to
MGR, with the Homs amputated from the neck down, their heads and spinal cords attached to cyborg bodies that could be used to pilot the Faces.

Welcome!
We still have the US release to wait for after the JPN so there will still be a smaller hype train everyone will be on.
 
You don’t have to be 1st to get into this party! Let’s spread the 3rd Party love with:

Crono

Notable Appearences
Chrono Trigger (1995)

Bio
Crono is the silent hero of Chrono Trigger. Though he lives in the quiet town of Truce with his mother, due to a series of stange events he is whisked away through time on a harrowing adventure. After traveling to the future and discovering that the world is set to be destroyed by the ancient evil known as Lavos, Crono and his companions make it their mission to prevent this fate from befalling their world. Crono is not only a skilled swordsman, but, after being taught the ways of magic by Spekkio, also a skilled user of lightning spells.

What NeoGAF Says


What do you guys think? Would you give the time of day to Crono? Do you think Smash can handle more sword users as long as they bring something new to the table? Or do you think we don’t need anymore outsiders crashing the Nintendo party? Let us know below!

Note: Unlike veterans, the newcomers being posted are not being revealed in order of most votes due to the amount of different choices; I'm just sharing the ones I find most interesting. However, for the last five newcomers, I will present those in order as the newcomers who got the most votes.

Wow !

Never even considered, but some Hanafuda cards would be GOD TIER choice for smash newcomer

You'd probably end up with the most popular twitch channel for next weekend if that's the case.
 
First veterans to try:

- Olimar
- Kirby
- Toon Link

Newcomers:

- Greninja
- Robin
- Tie between Megaman and Little Mac

I hope Ness is easily unlocked. I really want to play as him.

Ello! Welcome to GAF and more importantly Smash GAF. Extended weekend edition!

You mean the 12th? That would be cool.

We need a list of everyone who is importing the game.

Still Xenoblade spoilers
I would have just had the spine directly connected to the machine, with the head in a box. Egil has no reason to give someone like Mumkhar the ability to leave his cockpit. Fiora would be the only one to receive a cyborg body connected to the head, since she's supposed to be Mayneth's avatar and would need more autonomy.

Yep, thought the exact same thing, best "cutesy critter" in an RPG since Mog in FFVI.

I say: the more streams we have, the better. Especially one for us to sort of ask you to try things would be cool anyway since I imagine a lot of the bigger streams that are going to be streaming it will be too chaotic to get the streamer to try stuff.
 
You know oddly enough I don't like watching people I don't know play smash. It just feels to impersonal for me. I won't even watch Game Grumps play it and I love those guys.

However I'm a for more people streaming it so fans can see the content early.
