So what's the chance of Wii U-only modes and characters?
I'm having a blast watching the stream but I feel kind of bad because I've spoiled an entire game which I won't be playing until winter.

I love Dark Pit's dark arrows and the blue effect on his Side Smash (Electroshock Arm?), and the Kirby Game Boy stage is so cool. It alternates between scrolling and being stationary, and players can play behind the frame of the screen, appearing as outlined silhouettes.

I think it's the Pandora Claws.

I'm really miffed they didn't make his moveset use the DP Staff. Like, it's kind of crazy when you could just recycle (MOST) animations and let him use the staff for his normals and neutral special.

Then they go and include it in his render like it's some big part of his moveset. The disappointing thing about Pittoo for me is how he doesn't use that damn staff

 

[Lunar15]

Dang, Bowser Jr.'s Final Smash is really dumb.

I didn't realize it actually summons shadow mario to fight, thought it was just paint on the screen. Nice!

 

[MrBadger]

have any of the streamers unlocked Pink Gold Peach yet?

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Whoa, that Shadow Mario final smash.

His standing/walking animation looks a bit awkward, though.

 

[Metal B]

Bowser Jr's Final Smash has Shadow Mario!

 

[Neiteio]

Bowser Jr's Final Smash is Shadow Mario!!

 

[Kouichi]

Shadow Mario is in his FS! Awesome!

 

[Axass]

Jr's moves are amazing, one of the best newcomers, blows DHD out of the water.

 

[-Horizon-]

I wonder if they'd save some characters for the Wii U release, and make them available in the 3DS version retroactively.

Wouldn't surprise me.

 

[FillerB]

Not a fan of that Shadow Mario FS that Bowser Jr. has.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

So Morton and Ludwig will use Shadow Mario too? That's kind of weird.

 

[random25]

Too much Mario! Lol! Nice final smash.

 

[Lucinice]

Huh didn't think shadow mario would be appearing, that's rad.

His Side B definitely isn't the claws, dunno about his down B.

 

[OmegaSmash]

SO the Koopa Kar gets bigger with different characters? Won't that fuck up hitboxes and stuff?

 

[Wurst]

We're getting there! A few are still missing, like ROB.

So, the exciting part begins. This could really go both directions. Either there are additional secret chars, that are harder to unlock, or that's it. Just quick unlocking.

 

[DrStiles]

For better or worse they all use Shadow Mario.

 

[BGBW]

Hmmm... I wonder if Sakurai will just talk about the Wii U version in future PotDs or will provide post release commentary for the 3DS version.

Would be nice to get the official unlock conditions.

 

[Josh5890]

I doubt that happening until sometime late next year. It's obvious Sakurai's is gonna drag this on and reveal everyone slowly until the Wii U version hits.

This. Nintendo didn't announce Mario Kart DLC until 3 months after release. My guess is that we get an announcement around March-April of DLC. Heck maybe even E3.

 

[kuroneko0509]

urghhh Jr.'s FS

 

[maxcriden]

Bowser Jr's Final Smash is Shadow Mario!!

Describe pls!!

Modes, for sure. Characters, almost none. Already stated the rosters were the same.

I feel kinda bad watching the streams too. I couldn't avoid the characters, but I could have avoided all these details until Oct 3.

 

[-Horizon-]

First time I'm seeing Master Core (I'm LTTP I know), my god.

 

[Vampirolol]

My hype is so high. I want this game now. NOW.

same here.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Can someone tell me the Final Smashes of the newcomers?

Not much to say, but it's here at least !

[BlackJace]

Pretty much everyone should be satisfied with this roster, c'mon.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

His Side B definitely isn't the claws, dunno about his down B.

Pretty sure I saw Guardian Orbitar shields for that :/ May be wrong though

How are we sure the side B isn't the claws? Looked like them to me

Ooooh that is the electroshock arm

 

[DrStiles]

Describe pls!!

Turns into Shadow Mario. Paints a giant X over the screen and starts attacking whatever player you hit at the beginning of the Smash.

 

[Ahnez]

The taunt changes the Clown Car expression lol

 

[Molemitts]

Describe pls!!

Shadow Mario draws an X on the screen which deals damage.

 

[Metal B]

Describe pls!!

Shadow Mario draws an X on the screen. If you touch the X, you get damaged. It's kind of a wired Final Smash.

 

[Jawmuncher]

No snake.
No Satisfaction.
By your avatar I take it you would be in the same boat if Sonic wasn't back.

I've been satisfied for a long while now. Everything so far has been icing on the cake/pizza.

 

[SUPERJEM94]

So hard to pay attention in class and keep up with this thread!

 

[jackal27]

I think you're probably right. Easier to unlock, as in go to the debug menu and choose 'unlock all'.

But yeah, it would stand to reason that the character we saw unlocked were the earlier unlocks. If they tried to keep something super secret hidden in their confidential ratings video, it would be the last unlock(s). You wouldn't unlock the last character first, then it'd be the first character.

I just have a hard time buying that they wouldn't include every character in a ratings video. I bet that we get everyone from ESRB leak and All Star mode remains locked until Wii U version comes out.

 

[Golnei]

First time I'm seeing Master Core (I'm LTTP I know), my god.

I love all the reactions people are having to Master Core when they see it for the first time. I'm holding off on looking at it in motion until I actually get the game.

 

[Mysterious]

Any pics of shadow Mario???

 

[Neoxon]

That's the risk we take with third party characters. They aren't guaranteed to come back.

I have a hard time buying that too. But I think All Star will unlock once we get everyone from the ESRB video.

 

[ahoyhoy]

All-Star mode was likely locked because Mii Fighters weren't unlocked in the ESRB leak

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Such a hard sprite to make. (lol)

 

[BitStyle]

Pretty much; I'm perfectly content with the esrb leak being final. I do understand the stage roster complaints though.

Sonic kind of sucked in Brawl tho

He looks constipated from all the hate he is getting.

Same, sans no RH rep.

Maybe as DLC.

The shadow core boss guy looks so much more fun to fight than Master Hand.

 

[-Horizon-]

Seriously my reaction face to seeing it on gema's stream:

 

[Golnei]

Such a hard sprite to make. (lol)

I'd have asked why you didn't give him his staff, but then I realised it'd require more effort than went into creating the character.
