I hope they make Stamina Mode cooler.

I remember I used to always turn that on in Melee and pretend I was playing an RPG...also I was into Dragonball Z at the time, so I tried to recreate the show using Smash Characters. :/

In fact, I remember GameFaqs used to have a "Scenario" Guide where people basically just made up their own custom battle scenarios and rule settings, wrote a little script, and then you could play out that story using the FAQ and adjusting the rules.

Conker Bad Fur Day was released 13 years ago today, Conker to be confirmed playable tonight.

Coin Mode cut, Bonus Mode revived

Not bonus mode.

Edition Select mode.

Imagine the community's reaction if Meele was inside ? xD

Edition Select mode.

Edition Select would take so much work revamping older characters' properties, otherwise 64 Pikachu would destroy everything with that ridiculous hitstun

I know the last guy who talked about his Smash related dream in this thread was flamed, but I had a dream last night that Zero Suit Samus was the next veteran to be revealed.

[georly]

Wait, do people really think Yoshi is coming back? I think it's pretty clear at this point that he's been cut.

Not sure if trollpost...? None of the original 12 are getting cut, I'd bet my copy of smash 4 on it. I'd bet my gaming collection on Yoshi not getting cut for sure.


Edit: Oh goodie another rumor. Freaking love them and eat them up. If that's the case, let's speculate! Which 4 are getting cut? I honestly don't want any cuts. Unless they're changes, like Shiek > Impa, Ganondorf > Demise, Snake > Big Boss, Pokemon Trainer Blue/Red > Pokemon Trainer X/Y, Ike > Magnus, or something. Some characters are too unique to cut. The really big 'clone' characters (except ganondorf) are too popular to cut as well.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

So we've been getting like two characters each month right? Usually two vets, guess Yoshi will be next week and then after that somebody else. Any other game or anniversary in the month of March that could lend itself to a vet?

I think it'll be Pokemon Trainer or Ice Climbers. Not really sure why either, just have a feeling it's one of them.

I enjoy coin mode too. It's interesting, at the very least. Bonus mode is too kinda. I think it would be fun if I memorized a bunch of the bonus, and tried playing against someone else who did too. The problem with it (and coin mode) ends up being that kills count for more than anything else, so it ends up as a regular match.

Not sure if trollpost...? None of the original 12 are getting cut, I'd bet my copy of smash 4 on it. I'd bet my gaming collection on Yoshi not getting cut for sure.

Just goofing around.

Speaking of the original 12, remember when everyone freaked out about Ness due to the Lucas reveal? "Up until now". Jiggly too, to a lesser extent just because she didn't get revealed for a long time (though I think she was one of the later characters added, probably with a legit chance back then of leaving (since unlocking her, Wolf, Toon Link feels like an after though)). Honestly I don't think any of the first 12 are going anywhere.

oh how it hurts.

 

[Loco4Coco]

48 characters for Smash seems like a bit much, but hey I won't complain if it's true.

 

[PadWarrior]

Guesses for the 4 cuts?
Snake, Rob, Mr Game & Watch, Ice Climbers?

 

[Zalman]

Guesses for the 4 cuts?

I don't believe that rumor, but if I had to guess four cuts: Wolf, Lucas, Ike and Snake.

My girlfriend won't play if ice climbers get cut, so they better not get cut. Only reason to cut them would be technical limitations of the 3DS, but i'm confident sakurai can pull it off.

 

[Drago]

Yoshi, Ness, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff if I had to guess

 

[Zalman]

The 3DS excuse is gone now that Rosalina & Luma are in the game.

Yoshi, Ness, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff if I had to guess

None of those are getting cut.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Snake (I have a feeling that Konami might want to hold him closer with the focus on new games, plus putting Raiden in PSAB), Pokemon Trainer (because of the stuff about Sakurai being unable to handle multiple characters in the 3DS Version), Ike (not important at the moment, a new Fire Emblem Awakening dude seems likely), and I guess Wolf (Star Fox is dead, we've already got two Fox dudes) seems likely if true.

 

[IntelliHeath]

48 characters for Smash seems like a bit much, but hey I won't complain if it's true.

What? We only have 39 characters in Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Mk8 roster idk

Once again, it's more likely to be fake because of two reasons. We don't know the release date yet, so no characters haven't got cut YET since the cuts always happens at end of the production. We are nowhere close to end of the production. Other reason is that the leaks always happens few months before the release date; so I'm pretty sure that we are nowhere close to release date.

 

[georly]

The 3DS excuse is gone now that Rosalina & Luma are in the game.

Luma is much lower poly, as are the pikmin. Luma also doesn't have the same AI that Nana has. Luma doesn't have to land on a platform, try to recover, etc. Neither do pikmin, for that matter.

Edit: Also, if the 4 cut, 48 rumor is true, that means we have 8 more newcomers to go.

 

[SmithnCo]

He said 48 characters for smash ( it could change )

lol wut? Nope.

This rumor needs a full point by point breakdown. 48 characters and 4 characters cut? Even my conservative wish roster had 48 characters and still managed to include everyone including Mewtwo along with 12 new characters including the revealed ones.

And let me point out: 4 cut characters >>>>>>>>>>>> Toon Link

 

[DaBoss]

Falls apart here:

He said 48 characters for smash ( it could change ) also he mentions 4 characters are cut from smash

It could change yet 4 characters are cut already? What is this logic? The roster is most likely already chosen, it is a matter of having enough time now I think.

The fact that the rumor says the amount can change basically makes the rumor not worth looking at.

The 3DS excuse is gone now that Rosalina & Luma are in the game.

No it isn't.

None of those are getting cut.

He's not being serious.

Pokemon Trainer (because of the stuff about Sakurai being unable to handle multiple characters in the 3DS Version)

Not what he meant.

I don't think Pokémon Trainer will be a problem. It's not like we have more than one Pokémon out at a time anyway.

I do agree with the other three though.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Pokemon Trainer (because of the stuff about Sakurai being unable to handle multiple characters in the 3DS Version),

I'm sorry, has this been ever said verbatim?

 

[Kriken]

A franchise more dead than Star Fox or F-Zero D:

 

[Drago]

None of those are getting cut.

 

[Kouriozan]

As the only person on Earth that plays Coin matches, I'll be a bit disappointed if they removed that game mode unless they replace it with something else.

I also loved coin matches, those were pretty fun with 2 or 3 friends.

Spoiler

Well, any mode is

 

[Dr. Buni]

I don't really remember how good it is, but Hypercam 2 is free and without that annoying "Unregistered Hypercam 2" watermark you'd see in bad YT videos

I would be tempted to try it myself when I get Brawl back, but the odds are low and my recording device bloats the size of the capture footage

Gonna give it a try. I will post the video here if I somehow manage to record it.

Guesses for the 4 cuts?
Snake, Rob, Mr Game & Watch, Ice Climbers?

Fuck that. I love the Ice Climbers.

My guesses would be: Snake, Rob, Pokémon Trainer and Wolf.

 

[Loco4Coco]

What? We only have 39 characters in Super Smash Bros Brawl.

39? I thought it was less than that.

 

[Ezalc]

48 characters for Smash seems like a bit much, but hey I won't complain if it's true.

It's only like what, 10 more than Brawl? I'm expecting like 50 honestly.

Guesses for the 4 cuts?
Snake, Rob, Mr Game & Watch, Ice Climbers?

Snake, Rob, Jigglypuff, Wolf/Falco.

 

[emb]

Only characters I could stand to see cut are Lucario (random Pokemon, moveset borrows slightly from a much better Pokemon that should be included), Snake (cool, but not Nintendo related and pretty out of place in these games). Roy and Pichu (and I guess Moctor Dario and Young Link) can stay gone, whatever. Jigglypuff is also a random Pokemon, I'd be fine with losing her, but her moveset is fun so I'd hate to see her go.

Ike is sort of 'whatever here's the new guy' like Roy, but he was at least central to two games and pretty cool in general, so I'd rather him stay than Chrom takeover. All three Star Fox characters are good choices with movesets that are unique in interesting ways. Game and Watch, ROB, and the Ice Climbers are quirky but all really cool. Most of the others are mainstays that simply aren't going anywhere.

Needless to say, I'd have a lot of trouble choosing to cut most anyone. Pichu and Roy I was glad to see go, the others are regrettable at best if they disappear. (Oh, and to clarify I wasn't really guessing which characters could/would get cut, just kinda rambling.)

 

[friskykillface]

Ike gets cut and Roy returns ;P

the "easiest" to cut would be Wolf, R.O.B, Snake- only cause hes 3rd party :'( , lucas- Nintendo will never release Mother 3 in the USA


I still think hes trying to aim for 50, why stop at 48, gotta be fitty

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Let's preface all of this by saying that rumor is faker than Courtney Stodden's breasts. Secondly, I really think the only character in danger of getting cut is Snake, for obvious reasons.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Really, I assumed the "multiple character" issue was also referring to characters who'd have to load up multiple models.

Pokemon Trainer has to have three characters ready to switch between, I recall it having a notable pause in the Wii Version, so I took it that the 3DS would have trouble quickly loading them to be useful in the middle of battle.

I'm pretty sure this rumor is using the word "cut" to reference Smash Brothers from Brawl that won't be returning, not literally characters that were already planned to be in and then cut at the last second.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I hope they update the intro animation for Luigi to be more Luigi-ish. Something like how Luigi enters stages in Luigi's Mansion 2 or maybe have a portal appear with some boos all around it who push Luigi out and he falls with a splat.

 

[Dr. Buni]

And let me point out: 4 cut characters >>>>>>>>>>>> Toon Link

Toon Link > Wolf, Jigglypuff, ROB, Lucario, etc. Also, Toon Link > the other Link.

 

[Kriken]

Ike gets cut and Roy returns ;P

HELL NO! Ike and Marth is a much better set of representatives to Roy and Marth

 

[Kouriozan]

As long as Lucas is coming back, I'll be happy.
Or even Falco my Melee main.

 

[jph139]

So we've been getting like two characters each month right? Usually two vets, guess Yoshi will be next week and then after that somebody else. Any other game or anniversary in the month of March that could lend itself to a vet?

Pokemon Battle Trozei and Mario Party: Island Tour are both out this month in Japan, but they're both pretty minor titles and might go under the radar. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jigglypuff or Pokemon Trainer show up this month!

So Pokémon Trainer vs. Zelda/Shiek vs. Samus vs. Rosalina must be really taxing.

(Or if 6-player is allowed, add in Ice Climbers and Olimar. MAXIMUM MODELS)

 

[theprodigy]

everything about Roy sucks
his personality is nonexistent, his game sucks, and he sucks as a unit
no thanks
Ike>>>>>>Roy, he gets 2.5 out of the above 3 points

 

[georly]

I'd be ok if some of the cuts were alternate skins for characters. Fox/Falco, Lucas/Nes.

Maybe they're referring to all smash ever? In which case Dr. Mario, Pichu, Roy, mewtwo still cut

 

[DaBoss]

(random Pokemon, moveset borrows slightly from a much better Pokemon that should be included)

All three Star Fox characters are good choices with movesets that are unique in interesting ways.

Brawl used a dual-layer disc and the Wii had a pretty bad disc reader. 3DS uses carts and SD cards with flash memory which would have read times that are much better than that of Brawl. Also, I'm pretty sure the 3DS has more memory (RAM) than the Wii.

Transformation characters wouldn't have the characters out at the same time and doesn't require some AI for the second character.

I'm pretty sure this rumor is using the word "cut" to reference Smash Brothers from Brawl that won't be returning, not literally characters that were already planned to be in and then cut at the last second.

With how Sakurai seems to be doing it, I would assume he has a priority list of characters since I would assume he was really content with Brawl's roster.

 

[DisconnectD]

^ these reasons alone may be why we see the transformation characters be seperated as their own slots.

 

[Jagsrock]

4 cuts seems plausible especially when 3 of those cuts would be quite painless. Ike,Snake,R.O.B.

48 total characters wouldn't be too bad all considering the fact that we'd get 31 veterans + 17 newcomers +variations like zero suit/sheik and pokemon trainer would technically boost the roster to over 50.

I would think that total would include ZSS/Sheik/etc. already
if it's true that's still 13 newcomers though

 

[emb]

lol

Haha, yeah, you got me there. I'm just still salty about Mewtwo not being in mostly.

 

[RomanceDawn]

39 characters with only 35 slots. Samus and Zelda count as 2 each while Pokemon Trainer counts as 3.

I'm betting on at least 11 new characters along with Mewtwo's return with the only possible cut being Snake.
