Super Smash Bros. for 3DS |OT| It's out in Japan

Tharja was only on a handheld game though. Strange decision. Unless hinting at Wii U assist or plausibility as a character in SMT x FE.

Then again we did get Dark Samus on 3DS.

Yeah, it is an odd decision. Mainly because we saw Tharja from the ESRB leak so we know she is a confirmed trophy. So something must have happened during that time to where she switched from 3DS to Wii U (because cutting a trophy would be dumb). It will also be funny if we see Isaac as a Wii U AT.

Also, Pilotwings is a Wii U exclusive stage and the game was on the 3DS, so Sakurai is crazy.

I kinda expect Isaac to be cut since Giratina basically does the same thing. Looks more like a Whirlwind then Dragon's Breath anyway.

RayMK2 will probably be Wii U assist.

Kinda disappointing Isaac and Golden Sun is nowhere to be seen.

Dark Samus is technically in one handheld game.

Is it confirmed that the Wii U version will have unique assists? I haven't been following this that closely.

Nothing quite yet I think.
We know unique trophies, stages, and modes are confirmed. The only parity thing we know is characters, so unique AT's could definitely be in place.

The specific wording was that both versions would have 'roughly' the same assist trophies. So I wouldn't expect parity, but there's probably not all that many unrevealed ones.

Fought my first ZSS online in 1v1 For Glory.

And why why WHY do people online repeat the same one combo?

B stun into ^B into air>A was the combo, and when I figured it out and 2 stocked them, they quit immediately.

For all you FE fans, yetee has a lucina shirt today! (and one of the actual falchion/fire emblem from awakening)

Is it me or does their site not have a search option?

Tharja was a 3DS trophy but it was cut. It was from the leak. No confirmation on if she's in the Wii U version but it's unlikely

Hopefully a playable DLC character. As a Robin Clone.

This is what happens when you fight bad players. My brother does the same thing with Roy in PM, he basically always approaches with a dash attack to up smash.

Metroid Prime did not have a Dark Samus form as we know it in MP1. And the version used in Smash is from Corruption.

Details, details. Same entity, different form.

I can't say she's exactly the first character I think of when it comes to Robin clones...

And only one character shares the same base class. Others are Mage Knight, Dread Knight, and one who can be any Class that isn't a Manakete type creature but would serve better as a Weaponmaster if the Apotheosis is anything to go by otherwise would have a base class of Rogue.

With Robin having a variety of magic spells from all the spells in Awakening I can't really see us getting any other kind of magic user from Fire Emblem. And Awakening doesn't have any true Light Magic which was also kinda lame.

A little sad since the Dark Mages can go above and beyond just about every class.

I blame the Americans for this. First they leak the game and upset Sakurai and now there picky ratings board lead to cuts. No wonder Sakurai doesn't listen to the character wishes of the States.

Seeing as Robin can use Nosferatu as a Tactician in their SSB4 appearance, any character which can use both anima magic and swords in any of their classes should be fine. And while that also lets Tharja qualify, there are much better choices that could be made within that criteria.

Or they could just give Robin some Dread Fighter, Grandmaster and Dark Knight costumes through DLC.

Watch her only be in the NA version of the game.

I should be getting my copy next tuesday (*crosses fingers*)

That would be funny. If Tharja was really cut, I guess maybe ESRB was going to bump it to Teen if they kept her in. If they approved it, then maybe she did get moved to the Wii U version for some reason. I just see no reason to cut a trophy otherwise.

Wonderful Red is confirmed though for Wii U. We will see once both versions are out.

I'll never understand why they didn't let you use Basilio's bulkier model when you reclassed the non-child Robins to Berserker / Barbarian.

Because the class changes used interchangable parts. And most of them looked really dumb or unfitting outside of a character's base class.

Does Smash 3DS support free local (download) play, or should be and my brother buy the double pack with two versions of the game?

Thanks!

Ok.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see if there are console specific ones. I think at least graphical upgrades on the existing ones are likely.

I'm not sure where to post this, but does it seem to anyone else that, when playing Smash 3DS, it takes longer for the 3DS to get to the home menu than with other games?

I am currently alternating between the Smash demo and DKCR3D and it seems to take quite a bit longer to quit out of the Smash demo than any other 3DS game.

I apologize in advance for the question because I assume this has already been discussed.

Uses more processing power. Quitting the demo even has the system reboot itself. That's how much power it uses.

Mine keeps getting narrowed down.

First two are definitely the most likely.
I had a bunch in consideration too. From what I'm seeing so far, I'm looking at Sheik, Greninja, or Jigglypuff. Leaning towards Sheik right now; even though she has a good projectile to use defensively, it still looks like she has a lot of opportunity to be aggressive.

Robin still looks good, and Marth/Lucina and Shulk look better than I thought. Not really feeling them though just from watching.

Interesting.

Same reason why you can't access the browser or Miiverse mid game on Smash 3DS due to the game using the memory that's usually reserved for those two functions. The New 3DS will be fine with that stuff, but Smash seems to be quite demanding for the vanilla 3DS.

Ok, I finished my sheik write-up. Forgive me as I'm not a sheik main, so I may be way off on how useful her customs are. I'll post it at the top of next page.

Her custom specials are pretty boring looking, honestly. They change the utility but have no visual flair (like ganondorf!).
