I hope they have more meaningful aesthetic changes this time around, like Wario from his WarioLand appearance to his WarioWare S&M biker getup in Brawl. Not just color swaps. As long as her hitbox isn't affected too much (that sounds a little wrong), maybe a Metroid Zero Mission Samus, Metroid Prime Samus, Dark Samus, or Fusion Suit Samus outfit.

I feel like I'm one of the only people who opposes adding in alternate costumes. They take a lot of time and effort to develop, and they have to make them fit in with the feel and art style of Smash as well. I think stuff like Wario in his classic plumber garms is fine, or a female version of Villager but a lot of Smash's charm, in fact its essence, is the characters within it, and picking and choosing between different versions of that characters could be a blessing or a curse in a game like this.

It could either detract from how iconic their original/current design is, or makes them unrecognisable in a foreign universe other than their own purely for the sake of representation.

It's definitely something that has been championed by Capcom within their fighting games, and other devs have followed suit with their titles, but even if it was by DLC it still wouldn't be something I'd be interested in personally, especially in a Nintendo title. But that's just me.

Oh my. Peach what are you doing?!

 

[IntelliHeath]

Wait, today is the 17th?

...

Clearly I haven't been keeping track of time.

Indeed.

 

[Vintage_Creep]

So... no Direct. Umh. I want to see this game in movement again damn.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, no direct?

 

[Timeaisis]

Only explanation: Samus's final smash is her turning in to Ridely.

I'm sold.

Eh, I can wait. It's too soon for more footage, imo.

Not footage... NEWCOMERS! They gotta to catering to those Japanese fans. THOSE TGS FANS!

Well, yeah, but I'd rather they take their time and show off characters at a monthly rate than just spilling the beans earlier than they should.

Would be exciting, though.

 

[J@hranimo]

I think there should be at least some new footage of what they have shown off thus far from the website. Doesn't have to be newcomers, but at least can we see the Pikmin 3 and Metroid Other M stages in motion?

 

[powerdrain]

Hoping to see more females this time round after today's picture.

A WarioWare female would be nice - most likely would be Ashley or Kat & Ana. I also think Anna from Fire Emblem would be a nice way of representing the series as a whole. Her Awakening design is so cute as well. She could utilise different weapons, pull things out of boxes/bags etc. After Wii Fit Trainer and Villager anything is possible really, though I don't want to see an abundance of swordfighters either.

 

[ffdgh]

Tho they're not finished, I really wanna see character changes from brawl to 4

 

[Vintage_Creep]

LOL why? The first footage was shown three months ago and it was fucking gorgeous. How is it too soon?

Anything WarioWare would be nice in my book. Especially if that were Jimmy T.

Mona or bust...heck captain syrup above everything wario related.

 

[powerdrain]

Obviously. How can you not want Palutena?!

I'm barely into Uprising but she's fabulous. The green hair seals the deal, as well as a potentially awesome moveset. I think along with Little Mac she's probably the most expected character this time round. If she stays relegated as a final smash that'd be a shame.

Pit's final smash is going to be the armor absolutely, anyway. His moveset has been changed a lot. Palutena is 99% in imho, hoping she's not a Zelda clone.

 

[Sponge]

A Wario Land and Ware rep would be interesting. Personally, I'd pick Captain Syrup and Jimmy T.

Syrup's relevant thanks to Wario Land Shake It! (which we might see in some form in Smash 4) and Jimmy T is freaking Jimmy T.

He's already got one hell of a 3D model in Game & Wario.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Like you said, they just showed it. The game's still a year away from release.

Just chalk it up to my patience. I'd probably lose my shit too if they just showed it tomorrow on a random Direct. *shrug*

No wait, I said that since they showed the footage months ago and it was fine, it's obvious that it's not too soon to show something else now.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Palutena is one of the few newcomers I want (aside from Chrom, Takamaru, Little Mac, and Shulk) since I loved Uprising so much.

A new WarioWare character could be fun, but I don't expect one.

No wait, I said that since they showed the footage months ago and it was fine, it's obvious that it's not too soon to show something else now.

Oh, in that case.

I think a new trailer could be more impressive if they let the Miiverse info gradually build up over maybe until the end of the year, then showcase all the new crap we've just seen via screenshots along with new surprise characters. We've only got three returning characters/new stages so far, so I'd prefer to wait a bit.

This is just what I want, though. Sakurai can show it whenever he wants.

 

[ffdgh]

Palutena has a staff...which is technically a weapon catagory now that I think about it. Long range fighter

Yes, Ashly is best black haired witch.

Sorry but Jimmy T. > anyone from WarioWare


Pfft Ashley? Jimmy is where it's at.

 

[Jezan]

Rip in peace, perfect Varia Suit design, we have Roundy McThin-knees now

She is bulky, that's ok, but too short in this. She should be taller and bulky like in Prime. Melee and Brawl have Samus in this weird hunched position. But then if she was normal height in Smash she would be too tall [insert here Ridley joke]

 

[NotLiquid]

Newcomer Phoenix Wright pleads guilty!

 

[Jezan]

It hurts being so conflicted on this new style. :'(

Any others like this?

Me!

Some characters look like that SNES days alternate and hidden artwork that looks cool because it was not the main art used in the games.

Edit: I still want Lyn!

Most of Samus's animations and poses are taken from Super Metroid, as God intended.

All those words, they inspire cutting yes they do.

Jimmy T is a cool dude though.

He just isnt a cute martial artist
a cute witch who may more may not be evil
or a cute red headed kid who worships nintendo and plays his nintendo games in the dark while his psycho momma spies on him.

Naw, it's just that it sometimes leads to unwanted discussions.

I might be just overly cautious but then again some people were starting to talk about Rule34 earlier.
