Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS: Info Collection - Dojo, Mega Man and Trailer! 2014!

Are there really any BIG first party characters left to include? I mean, we're digging through Famicom Detective Club to find new characters. Villager was a big addition, but I can't think of many big, or even cult, Nintendo franchises that are lacking representation unless we go the Japan-only route. Maybe Mike Jones from Startropics.

Honestly? Brawl took the last big batch of "duh" choices. Right now, we're looking at strong additions from established franchises in Smash (Palutena, Dixie Kong and the like), cult or non-traditional stuff (Wii Fit Trainer and Villager work here), "smaller" franchise reps (getting a playable rep for stuff like Golden Sun, Sin & Punishment, EBA-Ouendan, Advance Wars etc.), and of course the retro stuff (Sukapon, StarTropics, Mystery at Murasame Castle).

Edit: Little Mac is legitimately the last "big" guy left.

Also if they do put in Takamaru, they should use his Captain Rainbow design.

Ray 01 from Custom Robo, Isaac/Matthew from Golden Sun, Saki from Sin&Punishment, there are others as well.
 
Too bad the mention of Krystal's name causes people to lose their shit and cry furry-fetishism, even though Sonic got in and I'm 100% certain there's more horrifying fanart of the latter than the former

No. No there's not.
Fanfics, however, there probably are.

pff, none of these characters can compare to this guy



hey look it's a Skeleton Pirate Snowboarder


Holy shit that looks so cool. What game is this guy from?
 
I don't know about you guys but I was flipping my shit with JOY when Wii Fit Trainer was announced. Smiling ear to ear. I kept F5-ing GAF because I wanted to talk about her! (But Nintendo killed GAF, lol)

I think that if this were 6 years ago, I would have been pissed. G&W pissed me off. Rob pissed me off. "Joke" characters were wasted spaces to me. My attitude toward that stuff has changed, now, and I respect Sakurai's decision to include these unexpected characters. I am not fans of them, and I do not use them, but I respect it. I think my wife falling in love with G&W prompted the shift.

As Alt color, sure. I preferred original colors.

I still dream of Takamaru and Mike Jones having back to back reveals and for a campy East v. West rivalry to start just because of everything they share with the major difference being country of release and inspiration.

That would be awesome if both got in. When they had Nintendo Direct in few months, and they would announced Mike Jones and Takamaru for SSB4, so they can running marking on that where they would release Star Tropic VC for Japan and Mysterious Murasama Castle for US/Europe. It would be good chance to test the water.

He wouldn't really play like any of the other swordsmen, though. He's a samurai. He can also throw shuriken and fireballs, turn invisible, and summon lightning.

Exactly. I'm not sure about invisible tho.

I was salty when I heard that she got in the game due to twitter. I was like why would they waste the slot for her until I saw the moveset. I was grinned. I thought Sakurai did good job to find a character that we didn't even predicted or expected to see and make it work very well that we would embrace her as playable character.
 
There's actually gonna be a Style Savvy mode in which you are able to dress the characters in cute frilly dresses you unlock in Story mode. Game of the Forever.
 
I just came up with final smash for Duck Hunt Dog.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=x-daxzVxrQI#t=2s

When he grabbed Smash ball, and once you activated the smash ball. He would jump into background and scared the ducks to flying around the stage and we are able to control the aim. Ducks may crash into the characters to stunned them for brief so it would be hard to run away from the aim if you have a lot of duck flying around in the stage.

Cool! I've never seen his Captain Rainbow design until now. I like it a lot! Better than the original imo
 
We have people arguing Ridley is too big, that robot is too goddamn small.

These dudes have the opposite of Ridley's problem.

Jesus christ man, Olimar is 2 fucking centimeters. That's his actual goddamn size. You think they can't make Ray 01 bigger or Ridley smaller? What the fuck is wrong with you people. Ray 01 is the closest thing to a Gundam this game could get and I actually prefer him over a Gundam.

Upset? lol
 
Ray MKIII would be ALL kinds of hype.

ALL kinds.

I remember turning around on her so quickly once I found out that it wasn't a troll. It was so "what" but so right at the same time. I was further sold seeing the developer video and seeing how her animations worked. She's way too good.

Both of us were joking.
 
So, after re-watching the Smash developer direct, I started to think - for those of you who play competitively, how big do you think Mega Man's extensive use of projectiles will work out? I see him being a very distant fighter, with weak-ish smash attacks. I also see him being quite light.
 
Upset? lol

Infinitely. I've been wishing for a new F-Zero and Custom Robo game for the Wii U since the tablet was announced. Imagine how hype a game like Custom Robo on Wii U would be? You have the robo's parts on that touchscreen, shows damage to the limbs, could go into first person mode or something. It's fucking awesome.

Ray MKIII would be ALL kinds of hype.

ALL kinds.

Thank god somebody understands.

The real problem with Ridley isn't that he's too big, but rather that he's too long. His hitboxes would be enormous.

Yeah he's lanky, but I still believe they can find a way to shrink him where he doesn't get totally disfigured. It's not impossible, they just need to put in the effort man.

Both of us were joking.

Man when you have some people asking for Naruto to be in Smash, I take anything posted in this thread seriously. I just can't distinguish from joke and not.

he's already the new king of projectile spammers, I expect him to end up somewhere in the upper tiers
 
I think that if this were 6 years ago, I would have been pissed. G&W pissed me off. Rob pissed me off. "Joke" characters were wasted spaces to me. My attitude toward that stuff has changed, now, and I respect Sakurai's decision to include these unexpected characters. I am not fans of them, and I do not use them, but I respect it. I think my wife falling in love with G&W prompted the shift.
G&W is so not a joke character >:(
He was like one of best designed fighters in Smash. He's kind of like Mega Man in the sense that most, if not all of his abilities were faithful to the original games. I do agree that ROB is a joke character along with Pichu and Ganondorf

Just make it like basically every Metroid game ever and have it that you can't hurt him by hitting his tail.

Though having his tail treated like a sword would probably make him pretty over powered unless ungodly slow/weak.

I totally understand that. I still can't tell which people are suggesting Goku ironically.

But yeah, the size argument is really dumb.

I have such overwhelming love for Mr. G&W. He has like one frame of animation per move, and yet he exudes more personality than 99 percent of videogame characters these days. A work of comic genius! :)

Haha what? I should know better than to respond seriously to someone with a Wario avatar, I guess...

I dig him now, just at the time, he was "stealing a spot" from someone else. Though if Palutena isn't in, I will bash the little Mii's skull into the ground. Somehow that stupid thing will automatically be responsible.

Makes more sense for his tail to be used like a spear or whip of some kind, imo.
 
So I was just thinking of all kinds of things related to this game, and after watching the developer direct, I also realized that Sakurai is being terribly rushed right now.

Then I realize how many delays Kid Icarus: Uprising had, and how amazing it turned out.

So... I hope Smash is delayed for at least another year, to 2015. Give the man the time he needs to do what he needs to do!

A small gundam maybe. Ray 01 would probably still be small like it was as a Assist Trophy in Brawl.
