Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XV: Kübler-Ross Edition

Ridley is just a terrible non-character. He's a purple (red? Green?) pterodactly with no personality.
Bowser is just a terrible non-character. He's a green (red? Yellow?) turtle-reptile...thing with no personality.

Clearly you haven't played Metroid.

Welp, I'm convinced.

HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have played Metroid. But only Metroid, none of the other games so you're kind of right. He just seems kind of generic to me. But that's just me.
 
Just throwing this out there - if Ridley is in the core game as a playable character, there is now way Sakurai would not reveal that before the game's release, especially with this much teasing.
 
It seemed pretty clear that the leak was all using the same save - nice to see a valid explanation as to why the Barbara trophy looked different.
 
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.

I have a feeling Isaac's in there. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he's number 1 or number 2 only to Ridley

Hope Saki/Isa/Kachi is there too

EDIT: Having not been on the internet around Dojo days, how was the Isaac fanbase and the S&P rep. fanbase?

I would imagine S&P rep. fanbase was even smaller than now, as Star Successor came out after Brawl and OG S&P came out in US first on VC

This is why I think it's unlikely. Same thing could be said for Mewtwo.

Those characters are game sellers.

You've only played the first Metroid?

Wow. Quit talking about stupid opponent-based action games and go play Super Metroid and Metroid Prime right now.
 
I tried inserting all kinds of characters into the CSS, and it's just weird. I don't think any characters will move positions, but merely shift (like 64, Melee, Brawl). I still think the clone corner will end up in the bottom left, but why is Shulk randomly in between them? And if this is the "complete" roster, why not put Shulk between Wii Fit trainer and Dr. Mario, making the roster "complete" and giving third parties their own row? It would also make the icons line up nicely if the bottom row only had 4 icons.

I've played no Metroid games yet, but I think I've replayed the first hour or so of Prime six times, and never got into it. I do want to try out at least one game from each series represented in Smash Bros. and Metroid is one of the few major gaps in the lineup. I'm thinking of getting Super when it goes on sale on the eShop, though. Or maybe Fusion or Zero Mission.

I don't have an SNES or GameCube. Or a Wii at the moment, my family wouldn't let me take it up to college XP
 
ness better be in the top five.....also if that css thing is real and fucking impa is in this game.............

What's wrong with Impa?

Besides your distain of Skyward Sword?

She is a cool character and has been in a ton of a zelda games and rather important and most of them

That's a good point... but I like to think the Ridley fans are not that many and it's just an internet forums thing, so they don't really care that much about the advertising.

Wasn't Mewtwo in melee secret until the end? At that moment that'd have boosted sales.

She was even in the first Zelda too! I'm really hoping we'd get that design, since we're missing out on elderly characters!

Assuming for a second that there are still more characters, without completely messing up/ completely reorganizing the CSS, another Star Fox and Pokemon character can be added at the very least since Duck Hunt and R.O.B. can just be moved down the bottom row.

Alph will be announced tomorrow (today)

Fixed.

Metroid can be hard to get into because some people might find the level design a bit confusing. Prime 1 is the only one I've completed, but I love it. I plan on giving the other games another go soon and replaying Prime 1. I don't blame you for finding it inaccessible, Prime 1 took me a bit to get, but once I did I enjoyed it a lot.
 
Shulk's placement is just weird. If you add characters, it moves Shulk in between clone characters and third-party characters. If you keep it as is, why wouldn't they just put Shulk up one row to "complete" it?

If this was the roster, it would seem complete. Especially since Shulk would be near the "new series", and it ends with clone characters, thus capping off Nintendo characters. Then third parties follow. But it isn't the case.
 
PHEW, finally caught up to the thread

Chibi Robo will probably join Advance Wars, Custom Robo, Daigoso Band Brothers, and Golden Sun in the "popular unlockable assist trophies who will never have a playable rep" department.


Take it back
And probably sadly add Sin and Punishment to there too

Bio
Mega Man, known as Rockma in Japan, also known as Mega or Rock in his original form, is the title character of what has been referred to as the "Classic" Mega Man series developed by Capcom since 1987. Mega Man's role in the original story is to battle the mad scientist Dr. Wily and his ever-growing army of robots, and stop them from taking over Earth by using their own special abilities against them. Utilizing his special Mega Buster arm cannon, and his ability to copy a defeated robot's Special Weapon, Mega Man must travel the world and traverse harsh environments in order to bring Wily's menace to an end. With the help of his creator Dr. Light and his assorted robotic companions, Mega Man's eventual goal is to one day achieve "everlasting peace".

What NeoGAF Says

“He's the one gaming mascot/icon with a rich Nintendo history who hadn't been added to Smash yet, and one of my favorite characters of all time.” - MaverickHunterAsh

“Protagonist of the greatest game series of all time.” - PsionBolt
