I really, really hope Pac-Man isn't in this. As far as characters go, he's pretty empty.

Don't force it Namco! Throw in a Tekken character instead or something.

Well hopefully if he's in we'd be able to round out key third parties with Pac-Man, Mega Man and Sonic... Man.

Aw shit.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I think you missed the joke.

I got the Pac-Man one but I've never seen that other picture before. Is that even of Little Mac?

 

[Village]

did you all see the meet the villager thingy?

Thingy in question

 

[FlyFaster]

Something neat for Samus players: While the third image on this page looks like her forward smash, it looks like they added an explosion to the attack that'll increase the range. So she might still have some new tricks up her (armored, non-existent) sleeve.

Also, I just realized something: Bowser's new moves and better posture come from the Wii Fit gal's training.

didn't notice this. Thank you for giving me hope!

 

[WillyFive]

Does anyone have first-hand info if the game is really 1080p?

The Full-Resolution screenshots in the OP are only in 720p (you can clearly see the pixels, which wouldn't happen if it was a 1080p render on a 720p-sized jpg).

So I doubt it!

So good.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Dude at Namco-Bandai already said a Tekken character would be a poor fit. Calm down. Let Pacman happen.

 

[Codeblue]

Are people on miiverse really this stupid?

Seriously? Little Mac and Ridley are the only ones that make any sense.
Sorry.

Yes. Almost every post on Miiverse is absolute garbage and I hope no one is reading them or we're going to have a roster filled with Sonic friends and Goku iterations.

Also WFT>Villager. Planting that flag now.

 

[Not]

If they use that PacMan god bless Sakurai. If Namco force them to use the shitty new one, fuck them.

Holy cow I just looked up his new look. That's not PacMan, that's like some stupid Despicable Me character

 

[Kokonoe]

I'd rather have Goku.

lmao o man.

 

[Keru_Shiri]

So, people are talking 2015 release for this? Yikes, that's a ways away, but I guess it gives me time to save up for a Wii U.

If Jigglypuff returns, her Final Smash should be putting everyone to sleep and writing all over their faces that does some kind of status effect or something just like my Pokemon animes.

That'd be cool, but they gave the sleeping Final Smash to Peach, but hey, at least Jigglypuff's Final Smash was more useful, I'm sure she'll be back, she's a staple in the series (and if not, Sakurai can hire a bodyguard cuz I swear I'll go after him *evil glare*)

 

[Codeblue]

2014

We all remember Brawl.

 

[.shin]

Link's face is all sorts of messed up, lol.

 

[Busaiku]

Excellent.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Man I hope they fix his face.

 

[RM8]

Jiggs is coming back, guys.

She's easy to design, they'll recycle her voice clips again, she's a SSB icon, part of the original 12, etc. - PLUS she recently became a Fairy type Pokémon, I wonder if that will have any effect on her SSB persona.

 

[Red Arremer]

Since Namco is co-developing this, do you think we'll see all characters unlocked from the start?

Edit:
Earlier when taking a nap, I had the weirdest dream... one of the newcomers would be a Zelda character named "Foot Soldier", and he'd be this guy in an armor, and that's all I remember lol.

Also:

 

[Not]

Toon Link replacement. Probably.

Dunno. He looks pretty old to me

 

[IntelliHeath]

Man I hope they fix his face.

It's like Hitomi DOA5 all over agian

 

[Busaiku]

Nintendo said 2014 a bunch of times.

When was the last time one of Mr. Sakurai's games came out on time.

 

[Ryce]

Since Namco is co-developing this, do you think we'll see all characters unlocked from the start?

Nope. Sakurai's a video game auteur (if there is such a thing) -- everything in Smash Bros. is there because he wants it to be. Namco's just doing the grunt work. They have no creative pull. They aren't even credited on the official site or in any of the trailers.

 

[Otatoptohami]

Ehhhh I'm really not a fan of them using Other M's design for Samus, the brawl design was just better looking imo

The brawl design was perfect.

Eww, Peter pan link.

Pass.

Would be the greatest.

 

[Jocchan]

It's the Michael Jackson nose.

 

[Kouichi]

edit: I'll replace my broken picture with this creepy thing:

 

[Vidiot]

Guess it's safe to assume we're not getting anymore character announcements today. Bummer, I was really looking forward to Little Mac.

 

[Beats]

Man, this looks great aesthetically and I really like the new characters shown, but I'm worried about defensive options being too strong and lack of hitstun. I'm going to have to wait and see more before I get too excited.

 

[RM8]

I really think Bowser's sudden speed increase (in an effort to make him a better character than his sad Brawl and Melee versions) is a sign of Namco helping with the balancing of the game, though.

 

[Not]

No.

People forget Sakurai has the final word. That's why Goku and Batman won't be in Smash, yet other crazy things will happen that no one can predict

 

[Rayis]

Lol, someone said in a Youtube comment that the Villager's Final Smash should be bees, that'd be a funny thing, BEES!

 

[Ryce]

I'm hoping Nintendo will release a trailer tomorrow with Little Mac, Mii, and Pac-Man to close out E3 and get people talking. The leaker is clearly legitimate, so they'll have to come eventually. Right? Right?!

I'm not sure, but Nintendo has a history of being sneaky with Smash Bros. stuff. Brawl's trailer was revealed at a special after hours conference back in 2006, and nobody saw it coming.

 

[destrudo]

Was it confirmed that both versions of the game will have the same characters? I've noticed that Wii Fit Trainer is the only character who doesn't have 3DS pictures on her profile page and I'm starting to think she's only in the Wii U version. It guess it would make sense considering Wii Fit was never portable but I really hope they don't take this path with their roster.

Can you provide a link of this supposed leaker's post?

Edit: nevermind, ninja'd

 

[MisterNegative]

I think his final smash will involve tom nook and a mortgage repayment.

The lack of an "edited by" tag means he didn't modify it after the reveal. That was posted a day before the Nintendo Direct.

 

[Neiteio]

What if tripping is still in, and the only character who is immune to it is the immaculately balanced Wii Fit Trainer?

Developer Direct said that both versions have the same number of characters, but they didn't specifically say that they would have the same characters.

Villager doesn't have any 3DS shots either though, so it's not just her. They probably just haven't been added to the 3DS version yet.

Villager doesn't have 3DS screenshots either. Weird, considering that the most recent Animal Crossing is on 3DS.

They said there will be the same number of characters on both systems, which with wording like that has me curious if we'll get system exclusives (which I don't want, I'd rather have the same roster on both platforms) or just bad wording.
