Rosalina AND LUMA Confirmed For Smash Bros!

What if the diferent colored Lumas means you can randomly summon a diferent power related Luma ?


....what if there is a rare chance of sumoning Starfy ? =O
 
The Daisy discrimination continues :(

Does Rosalina normally have those stars on her dress or were those added for smash?
 
What if the trailers are the intros for the adventure modes matches? I think the SSE is gone - too much work and too much critique has come from it.

But maybe these are set stages? To get Rosalina you have to beat her with Kirby on the MK stage after the 'new challenger' promt? Something like that...

Nah, they're way too long to be intros, and Sakurai has been known in the past to create trailers that have cutscenes that aren't in the game at all. I remember people speculating when Subspace Emissary was confirmed how the initial Smash Bros. Brawl release trailer scenes would fit into the story lol
 
That trailer was such a troll. The music at the beginning was from the Kirby Air Ride opening video. I was sure this was going to be Kirby Air Ride 2...
 
Personally, I don't have anything against Rosalina, but this screams of pandering. Nintendo knows that the creepy Deviantartists will buy the Wii U in droves just to play as her. Just read some of the posts in this thread to get a better understanding. How the hell is she more deserving than the likes of Ridley, Little Mac, and King K. Rool?
She was in two games that were better and more popular than anything those characters have been in?

It's a good idea, but hopefully they aren't using the reveal trailers to show them. It would be a bummer to know all of that ahead of time.

Then Starfy would get the axe as an Assist Trophy. I am hoping we see Polari again, it's been a while.
 
I am loving how her playstyle looks. The fact I'm already a fan of the character equals yup, I'm hyped to play her.

Samus'll still be my main though.

Still praying to the gods for ROB's return...

Also... lol dat troll doe
 
Can't get enough of Rosalina. I think it's safe to say she'll be a stable in all the Mario spin offs now.

Her fighting style seems very interesting. I will definitely be trying her with the intentions of maining her just because she's one of my favorites in the Mario series.
 
First Mario 3D World, now Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros, god damn you Nintendo, stop abusing my weakness by adding Rosalina to everything - I don't think my determination not to buy a Wii U can withstand being able to play as her in 3 games.
 
Awesome character reveal. I wish they would just replace Peach with Rosalina in all the future Mario games. Peach and Daisy have nothing on Rosalina.
 
Hey, maybe they'll make an Air Ride stage? Regardless, the CG movie was awesome! Can't wait to see it in HD.



Thanks for the welcome!




At the very least, we can expect a themed Peach costume.

Holy shit. Youre back? Wow. How long was your ban? I remember you from like two yearz ago when i used to lurk.
 
Rosalina was definitely my top pick for an additional Mario character, so it's nice to see she got the spot. The play style looks promising, too.
 
The Daisy discrimination continues :(

It's easy to discriminate against a videogame character when they haven't been important in any video game ever.

Daisy whose claim to fame is basically saying "Hi I'm Daisy!" vs the person who is essentially god of the mario world.

Yeah, real competition that.
 
Can I ask something, are we cool?

What's the deal with Rosalina?
Rosalina was the leading lady of Super Mario Galaxy, and played a significant role in Super Mario Galaxy 2. She embodies the Galaxy series. She is practically the mascot of EAD Tokyo.

She had a surprisingly poignant backstory in Super Mario Galaxy, dealing with the death of her parents, how she was left an orphan, and how she went on to start an orphanage herself for the Luma. This makes her a bit more resonant than the typical Mario fare.

She was playable in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7, and now returns in Mario Kart 8. And of course, she was the fifth playable character in Super Mario 3D World.

Thanks for the heads up. I've played all of these games, but somehow I never really got her backstory. Must've not visited here enough times at the library. It's just interesting to see how the whole internet pukes rainbows when she appears. Wait...

IS ROSALINA THE JENNIFER LAWRENCE OF VIDEO GAMES?!!
 
ware my goddess Daisy at =(

Not much reaction to this announcement. There weren't supposed to be that many new characters, so I'm just wondering else that is new can be plausibly entered into this game.

Not like I have faith Isaac will make it in. =(
 
What I don't get is why people would rather have two Mary-Sue characters like Peach and Rosalina instead of a strong, confident woman like Daisy.

From the Smash Bros. thread -- this should be added to the OP:

Sorry for all of the incoming GIFs!

A Luma is Born!

I think that is Rosalina's Down-Special Neutral-Special. My guess is that Rosalina's base attacks don't have a lot of range, and Luma will remedy that giving Rosalina a lot of range and versatility. And maybe using Down-B again will make the Luma go further away or come closer.

Launch Star!

That is most definitely Rosalina's Up-Special (recovery). I think that it may be possible to use Luma to attack even though Rosalina can't do anything, but because she can't do anything and it seems Luma copies what Rosalina does, that theory is probably a bust.

Holy crap!

I think that is Rosalina's Neutral-Special Down-Special. Seems pretty crazy. Also has that Wiimote pointer like effect in the Galaxy games, which is cool.

Luma Helps Rosalina With Attacks!

I think this was fairy obvious, but still pointing it out. Luma makes Rosalina's attacks stronger. The ring attack looks like an Up-Tilt, while the other is a Down-Smash.
And as everyone noticed, Rosalina has mini Galaxy-like things appear.
Also, one woman/star WOMBO COMBO!

Luma Helps Rosalina Out Of Sticky Situations!

Seems like Luma is the real hero here. Taking dat charge shot to the face!

Goodbye Luma, you're a true hero keeping the Galaxy princess safe. ;(

Luma Attacks!

Rosalina sends Luma spiraling to the left, and then Luma finishes off
the evil
Villager using star bits to pop his balloons. And then goes back to Rosalina.

Luma Takes Down Evil Tree!

Luma takes down the evil Villager's evil tree! There is nothing more to this and is just here as a joke lol.
If you look at the mirror, you can see Wii Fit Trainer warming up to kick some ass.

Thanks to ffdgh for correcting the Down-Special/Neutral-Special parts.
 
I love Rosie!!

also love that little gravity move she does that draws the nearby items to her. I know some people think items are the cheap way to play, but I will go after every item I can.
