Rosalina AND LUMA Confirmed For Smash Bros!
- Thread starter HUELEN10
- Start date
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...

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.
The Daisy discrimination continues
Does Rosalina normally have those stars on her dress or were those added for smash?
Added for smash.

Never expected this at all
On a side note, wasn't this direct intended for future spring releases? So is SSB coming out in the Spring?

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.

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.

Neat character from a couple of really amazing games?

You'd be so surprised by how wrong you are. i'd still rather have daisy than rosilina.
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.

I wanna see Skinny Wario Recolor myself.
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?!!
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'sDown-SpecialNeutral-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'sNeutral-SpecialDown-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 offVillager using star bits to pop his balloons. And then goes back to Rosalina.the evil
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.

Great post, can't wait to finally play this game for the next 10 years.
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.
I am still amazed that Daisy still is not part of the Smash roster. Like seriously wth?

Is anyone else not at all interested in the new Smash?
I'm just keeping my hype levels low after what happened with Brawl.
