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

I'd be okay with it, though I'd prefer Peach having other skins like her sports gear, shadow queen etc. The concepts of using a dif character as an alt is still meh.

Oh definitely agreed with you there. Only time I'd consider an alt as a "different" character is when it's the same character to begin with (Dr. Mario, alt-gen Trainer).
 
Toad probably.

Most likely Toad; he's been around since the beginning, but his number of playable appearances has skyrocketed in recent years.
Ah, okay.

About Toad, I really don't think he will be playable in Smash as long Sakurai is still breathing. While a lot of people want him, a few other people (like me) thinks he's too generic and not actually a character but a species, and thus not relevant enough for Smash. I think Sakurai is one of the latter people, Toad's too generic and doesn't feel like one specific character.

I think alts are a creative way to give us more characters without having to implement too many similar additions. We still have to wait and see how they are going to be incorporated but I feel we will get a formal announcement when the time comes.

Yoshi is a species.
 
It's agonizing that we're still waiting for obvious inclusions like Zelda, Yoshi, Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, Ness and Wario. Damn you Sakurai!


Edit- as far as alts go, I'm fairly satisfied with certain color swaps like Capt. falcon -> Blood Falcon and Peach -> Daisy. The characters look similarly enough that a color swap is satisfactory for me.

I don't want Toad mainly because I can't help but see him as a useless wimp. Lol, I immediately see him running around "OH NO! HELP ME! AHHHH!" in that high pitched voice.

I'm okay with it, I just prefer alts being the literal alternates for the character you're playing. Other characters have the potential to be...well...other characters entirely, so I feel like it's wasted potential to use them as a skin for someone else.

Yoshi is a species.
Mario is human I think.
 
After all these years, Sonic still looks like shit. I really wish we could one day see SEGA redesign him in the vein of Sonic Retro's collaborative effort.

I was actually thinking of Bowser Jr instead of Toad lol. But Toad has been given a lot more character as of recent and there have been more unique Toads too.

Toadsworth and stuff do have a unique character, but we know they'll be using the "Red Toad" who is very nondescript.
 
I'm dying from a lack of newcomers just because I'm becoming paranoid that the only ones left are Mii, Little Mac, and Pac-Man. :lol

While I'd love to see newcomers, especially lil mac, palutena, and shulk which all 3 I personally think have a relatively high chance of getting in as playable characters, what I'm most excited to see is updated designs of vets, or even just seeing them in HD, I was really waiting to see what Marth would look like in HD, and sakurai delivered on it, now im really wanting to see what captain falcon, zelda and pokemon trainer would look like. And really, I just want to see all of them in HD, for a few of them, this might be their only appearance in HD aswell, its also sorta great that the very first lord in the fire emblem to grace a HD nintendo console is the one and only Marth.
 
Well If you want be serious about it like 20% of the posts are also discussing SSBB/M at a competitive level vs casual and the mechanics and mindsets of either.

it all adds up to 121% of Smashgaf!

Well, this game will probably have both Donkey Kong and Diddy kong, so makes perfect sense
 
I consider Donkey Kong its own separate thing so I wouldn't call Diddy a "Mario" character, but I can kind of see the argument for Wario.

You gotta take both Wario Land and Wario Ware into account, though, fella's no "Mario" character anymore than DK is nowadays. Heck, Diddy, Dixie, Funky and K. Rool have appeared in Mario sports' games, whereas the likes of Mona, Ashley, 9-Volt and such remain Ware exclusive.
 
I always count Yoshi as part of Mario even if Yoshi has its own series. Always feels like a spinoff.

And Troubled Bat! What happened to your avatar? @3@
 
Spoiler tag lickitysplit.

I did out of courtesy, but seriously, the info has been in a thread title in GAF's front page for the whole day, and even if you go back a couple of pages in this thread, people are talking about the character I mentioned in the same context I did without spoiler tags.
 
Toad + anybody else would be a-ok with me.

Alts might not be a universal thing though, they might be character specific like Wario in Brawl.

That is definitely the best possibility but until they're formally announced to have certain restraints I think the concept can be expanded to add a few more character entries. The male wiifit trainer could have easily have been a new character with another type of "wiifit" focused moveset but as far as we know he will simply be an alt and that is totally fine.

An example we have been using a lot is Lucina but what are the odds of getting Marth, Chrom, Ike, and Lucina? Especially if they share a similar style. lol. I would take her as an alt over her not being a playable character any day.

I want to see as many playable characters as possible so I'll take them in any form Sakurai can think of.

I don't take any issue with it, I was just suggesting it because GAF tends to be sensitive about these things.
 
Rosaline being added could explain the lack of references to Galaxy by Mario himself... They could just keep as many Galaxy elements as possible reserved for her (Spin attack, star bits, maybe things like launch stars and other elements too...).

Honestly, I think his modern design is fine, but his CG artwork for half of the games are terrible.

His Smash 4 model is alright though, just has some weird oddities I don't like, but he isn't terrible looking... except for his CG artwork on the site. omg that freaking CG artwork is one of the worst renders
 
I'm liking how all these recent Miiverse updates are revealing new info at a slightly quicker pace than a few months ago, even if it's just a graphical or technical change. It's a good sign
