Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!

Considering the caption doesn't hint it as a newcomer I doubt this is a new character. I'm cool with it, but I'm sure some people will be upset. As if the whole two Coles in All-Stars incident wasn't bad enough.
 
I guess this warrants a thread? Dunno. Well I'm not making it.

He doesn't appear on the official website, soooo... alt !

too early to base it on that -- the daily pic hasn't even been updated on the site. but like i said, if it were a new character, Sakurai would've said so.

Holy shit thats awesome! :D
 
Pretty sure this is a costume swap. Let's hope when I pick the male wii fit trainer, he has a male voice, too. : P
lol, no one will pick the male wii fit trainer. : P all about the girl wii fit trainer :lol
 
Okay, so assuming this guy IS actually a new character/clone rather than an alt-costume, what kinds of moves from Wii Fit would he even have? Is there anything different about the male trainers routines in Wii Fit? I've never actually played it so I wouldn't know
 
It's an alt costume because there's no new slot on the website which was just updated.

Fairly cool. Nice one, Sakurai. Halloween... alt costume...
 
That's awesome, but...I have no idea if this is an alternative costume or a new character...

If it is an alternative costume then...that's very elaborate considering the change in proportions. I wonder if hit-box data, etc will be different.
 
So we can get Daisy now.
Eh, I think that's a bit tougher considering they are actually different characters. (Personality, moves, etc.) The trainers and the villagers are just blank slates, so I think it's easier to implement them.

I guess we'll see. If Daisy is in, I think she should be a stand alone character personally.
 
Yeah, it'd be off-putting to hear the announcer say that Peach wins when it's blatantly Rosalina. That's why Rosalina should be a new character. YupYup.
 
Like has been said, although yes he is most likely an alt, I'm really interested in how hit boxes will be affected with the differences in the models? He seems a bit taller; I wonder if his reach is longer as well? It seems like a lot of extra work if they have to adjust a lot of things just for an alt?

The reach of his hitboxes are the same, most definitely. He's taller so that means the only difference in hitboxes would be horizontally.
 
Yeah... I'm now pretty sure this is an alternative costume, but there are proportion changes in both male and female trainers, and I wonder if hitboxes will reflect that or if they'll just be exactly the same.

Either way, it's extremely detailed for a costume, and it leaves me wondering... what other characters will have something like this? Female Villager seems cool...
 
One thing I've always wished would happen is 'skins' for Pokémon Trainer using the male and female character designs from the various Pokémon games.

This pic gives me renewed hope that it might actually happen this time, which pleases me to no end.

Uh, assuming if the alt costumes are programmed logically, Rosalina would get her own soundbank as well as a new announcer call. It's not that much work, I imagine.
 
If she pulls out a Luma instead of a Toad, she will completely replace Peach for me.
Every palette swap in Brawl has its own accessory item colored differently, in this example: Peach's parasol. iirc, Toad is in those files too. So it's definitely possible without much technical work.

Maybe she could throw star bits instead of veggies. I assume those are also separate?

Yeah, the turnips are in a separate file and don't have different colors. So, he'd have to make Star Bits and apply the item to Peach's character model.

Or he could just be lazy and not change the turnips at all. :P It is Sakurai, after all; who knows.
