So really, do we have any guesses as to what Sakurai was talking about when he said we'd be "customizing characters and transferring them to the Wii U version?"

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/13/wii-u-and-3ds-smash-bros-will-not-have-cross-platform-play-wil/

I'm sure we've talked about it before, but I just feel like this is such a weird statement to have no follow up on whatsoever.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Considering how many of the people who support more female characters seem to just want them because of traditional creepy otaku reasons and only use "gender equality" as a cover, I feel I'm justified in calling them that.

So you're basing an assumption you've made ("seem to") about "many" people to label everyone who wants more female characters as Team Waifu?

 

[foxuzamaki]

there should be a super smash bro. figure line.

What time does Sakurai typically post updates? (Japan time please)

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Screw gender equality! What about villain equality?

Unless there's a Soul Caliburesque create-a-fighter (this is Namco, after all...) my closest guess would be either a Mii character (which I guess can be used for c-a-f) or even customize Villager her/himself. The Animal Crossing series is known for personalization, after all.

Maybe like control profiles? It's certainly possible to transfer saves between 3DS and Wii U as shown with Monster Hunter. It could even be Mii or Fire Emblem or Animal Crossing?
Maybe even a special character that is built for customising?

What time does Sakurai typically post updates? (Japan time please)

Usually sometime between 15:30 and 16:00, but typically closer to 16:00.

I would honestly take a half-assed clone over making them an alt. I mean, what does it say about Lucina if she's only an alt costume in a game franchise that throughout it's history has featured Green Mario, Evil Mario, Dr. Mario and Regular-Ass Mario?

Those two would not be all that different in the end. It would simply be another method to add characters who may be similar in playing style by default. And I'd love to see Lucina get a spot but she has to go through Ike, Chrom, and may be even Robin so I would settle for her to be playable in some form.

I'd totally be down to see her in some form.

wow

FTFY.

lol perfection

I'm sure we've talked about it before, but I just feel like this is such a weird statement to have no follow up on whatsoever.

We really don't know anything aside from no changing of stats or attacks and no random clothing for costumes. My best guess is that we've been given a hint of it within the initial trailer not to mention Sakurai said we'll be able to change the "directionality" of attacks, what ever the heck that means.

During the trailer Mega Man's saw blade caused coins to fly out of Mario when the blade just nicked his clothes. I bet that is part of it. Making so if you get hit hard enough you can customize it so coins fly out of Mario, or something like rings for Sonic. We'll probably get to change the visual effects that accompany the attacks as well. These 2 examples are very basic but that's my best guess so far.

Aside from that I think we have a good chance of seeing true alternate costumes for everyone. Not skins of entirely different characters, but more things like Wario and Wii Fit Trainer. Sakurai did say we would be able to customize characters in 3DS then show them off on the big screen. So along with a cool costume, we could potentially customize our victory theme, taunts, and entrance animations.

Heyyy, that hurt. ;__;

I knew dixie kong was meant to pull in the otaku crowd since I noticed how adorable she is.

 

[Jagsrock]

FTFY.

You know I'd be ok with that. Smash could use some Syrup.

I wouldn't mind if characters have different sets of moves you could mix and match. That'd probably be way too much work on Namco's end, though.

 

[Loco4Coco]

If they wanted to pull in the otaku crowd they would've revealed Candy Kong a long time ago.

Me when I realize it's never going to happen:

lololol

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I'd assume Mona would get in before Syrup, though I expect neither of them would actually have a shot.

You never know, wario does need that 2nd rep which will separate his series from the general mario brand more in people's eyes which is a good thing imo.

 

[Roo]

Monita can only hope to be an assist trophy

[TheLegendOfCap]

You are all wrong.

Amen.

THIS is the only deserving underdog!!

 

[Jaeger]

It's time.

 

[Kriken]

Amen.

THIS is the only deserving underdog!!

They gave him a new game so that when they announce him in the next ND, people aren't asking "Who is that?"

 

[DICKS AHOY]

It's time.

weird they'd reveal a sniper wolf assist trophy before snake, but i'm down for it

 

[theprodigy]

It's time.

Snake?

 

[foxuzamaki]

It's time.

heh

 

[Red Arremer]

I'd assume Mona would get in before Syrup, though I expect neither of them would actually have a shot.

I think at this rate, basically everyone has a shot. Mona probably has better chances because she's in more games, and a protagonist as opposed to a villain/NPC, but I'd much rather have Syrup since she has been part of Wario's development ever since SML3, and also was part of the latest Wario Land game.

Spoiler

She's also significantly more interesting and got significantly more moveset potential than Mona, and Wario Land also is a significantly cooler series than WarioWare.
