Well it's been real. After a reveal like this, it's time for some sleep.

Think this pic could be sneaky confirmation of Jiggs? What else in smash bros. Puts you to sleep? I know a Pokemon does but we'd probably see an aura of some kind..

Wait a minute. How is he sitting. Did he...trip?

Sakurai wouldnt lie would he?

This could also be a tripped animation with lucario's eyes conviently closed.

 

[Loco4Coco]

They replaced tripping with random naps during battle.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Could be a taunt or it just confirms Jigglypuff is back and put him to sleep.

 

[DisconnectD]

Ah so a diddy hint then

 

[Sponge]

Lucario's pretty much Pokemon's second mascot. He deserves his spot on the roster. I don't think we should worry too much about Mewtwo's chances, he should be back.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Sakurai wouldnt lie would he?

No, but he could change his mind mid-development. Probably saw how hype Apex was and decided "Nope, I don't want anything to do with that."

 

[Jagsrock]

He needs a pokepuff.

 

[Village]

Peaches ultra ya dummies.

 

[DisconnectD]

Personally, I would find this more than a little hilarious.

 

[CombustingFetus]

Because showing off a new 'Mon is better promotion for their new games than "Hey look how we fucked up your favorite Pokemon designs." Besides, there's always been a rep for the most recent Pokemon games in each Smash (Pichu in Melee, an Lucario in Brawl).

Then please tell me what Gen 6 has that would even come CLOSE to the amount of marketing spent on Mewtwo in the last year.

And then tell me how that Pokemon would even come CLOSE to Mewtwo's popularity.

 

[DisconnectD]

Since Gamefreak gets the ultimate and final decision, wouldn't mewtwo be locked in due to his popularity and relevancy? The videogames industry is a business after all..

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Can't answer that one for you. I don't follow Pokemon that closely anymore.

 

[SuperSah]

First pic sans outlines?

 

[Clov]

Next Nintendo Direct announcement, Sakurai dropped Lucario to reveal the next rep along with Pikachu...

I believe!

What about genesect?

Peach's final smash.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Even I could tell you that's Gen 5

 

[ffdgh]

look closer. They're still there.

 

[Flowmoney]

Man , Roy should be confirmed playable in smash 4.

He could call all of his wives like assists or they beat you up in his final smash,

 

[Omzz]

just curious about this for a while. whenever something new is revealed is it really necessary to make a new thread? what about the people who don't want to know anything about the game. isn't that kind of spoiling it?

doesnt matter to me just been on my mind lately

New thread for new news...within reason ofcourse.

 

[Jezan]

I think that's his sleeping animation, but could also be tripping, I mean Diddy can use the bananas and there no reason to remove tripping involving bananas.

Bellosom and Togepi can use sleep powder too.

EDIT: Ah, seems to just be about the Lucario reveal. Nevermind.

If you look around the ears they're still there, his aura stuff is just hiding it a bit!

does this mean something in relation to lucario or is this a mangled max headroom reference

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Interesting thing I noticed about this screenshot: I think this is the first time we've seen Mega Man having a facial expression other than "totally and creepily blank."

Maybe Sakurai's been hearing the complaints about his totally blank facial expressions and tweaking that a bit?

I think he's saying "Hadou no Yuusha" ("The Aura Hero"), which is what Lucario was originally called in the Movie 8 title before his reveal.

So I think he's just saying "The Aura Hero Lucario, the 22nd Character".

 

[Jagsrock]

Even I could tell you that's Gen 5

Darn hmm well maybe greninja could work.

Or this guy could be interesting

 

[CombustingFetus]

What about genesect?

Genesect is possible, but I was referring to Gen 6 specifically. Because most of the generations of Pokemon have had a specific Pokemon we'll call the "Bipedal Badass."

Mewtwo, Lucario, Zoroark, Genesect all fit under that. Genesect not as much as Zoroark, but he's definitely more popular so I digress. These Pokemon were all heavily marketed. Lucario and Zoroark specifically were the first Pokemon shown of their respective gens.

Gen 6 doesn't have any Pokemon like that. They didn't make a new Pokemon to market like that. Instead, Mewtwo made a comeback. He is basically the "Bipedal Badass" of Gen 6, because he was marketed just as Lucario and the rest were.

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up. Figured it was just about the reveal.

 

[solomon]

Wow this is amazing my training partner's main is lucario, I know when he sees all the messages im sending him he will be hyped.

 

[The Adder]

Lucario still has that stupid gimmick :'(.

Man, I loved that "gimmick." Being even better now is going to make Lucario a bitch to deal with.

 

[Starphoenix]

Gen 6 really made the Mega Evolution mechanic their big selling point -- and the older Pokémon like Charizard, Mewtwo and Lucario were the driving forces behind that. The only reason Sylveon was as important as it was is due to being the introductory Pokémon to the new Fairy type, but as far as Super Smash Bros is concerned, we have Jigglypuff.

Pikachu
Jigglypuff
PKMN Trainer
Mewtwo
Lucario

That is always what I believed the Pokémon roster would come down to, and I'm even more certain of it now.

I don't disagree Mewtwo is defintley the obvious choice. Hopefully gamefreak/sakurai think so too.

 

[Loco4Coco]

If Mewtwo comes back will it be considered a Newcomer or returning veteran?

Returning Newcomer

 

[chaobreaker]

Yeah that's part of the final lap section.

Final lap section? Never heard of something like that in a MK game.

 

[Azure J]

Once again #TeamNoCuts is the one true team.

[Shun]

Once again #Team20XX is the one true team.

Fixed.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Final lap section? Never heard of something like that in a MK game.

In Mario Kart 7 Rainbow Road and Wuhu Island are just one long lap for the entire race, simply broken up into three different parts. That's what they mean by 'final lap section'.

 

[Azure J]

Fixed.

As much as the 20XX meme is great, a Smash game without Marf is heresy.

Exception: Smash 64

You say that, but then you post a roster that's missing both Ness and Lucas...

Holy fuck, how did I miss that? D:

 

[TheLegendOfCap]

If Mewtwo comes back will it be considered a Newcomer or returning veteran?

I have a feeling he'll be treated like an "honoary newcomer".

I definitely see two options for him:

A.) He's going to get the "newcomer" treatment with reveal trailer and everything.

B.) He's going to be a secret, unrevealed, character.

 

[timshundo]

Is there any actual proof that Mewtwo could come back or are you guys just being let down by your own hype?
