Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 12: Gwah, hah. Welcome to the Bowser's game.

This is as close as we're going to get for them!!
 
Also I find the lack of Mii odd. I know that other shot was shown, but it seems like a messy way to implement them. It may work on the 3DS but would that method work on the Wii U?

Customizations are off in the CSS. If you turn them on, supposedly Mii Fighters replace random.
 
Bowser Jr. & Dark Pit would be the only real disappointments if this pans out. I don't think either are deserving over a multitude of characters from their own series, let alone many other IPs.

Still not believing it though. Hopefully we'll get our next confirmed character soon and we can but this to bed. (Or have a three week long slumber party.)
 
Too drunk, and enjoying this too much.

Between all the thoughts of 'real' and 'fake' I decided to take a break and check my facebook.

Only I typed 'fakebook.com" instead.

I don't know what's real anymore.
 
If Duck Hunt works similar to Banjo Kazooie I am 100% for this. I like Bowser Jr. and think the clown car mechanic could be very different, but Mario is so over represented. Shulk is also a character a lot of people want and there seem to be different ways you could implement him.

I will not comment on the.... rest.

Agreed with this. If we get another Mario character there's only one choice.

There were a few people from the original #TeamReal trying to re-write history again.

Someone was using it as an argument or something. Just pointing it out.

Didn't notice that, but the thread moves so fast it's hard to keep up. I don't see how that has any connection to this leak anyway.

Regardless of the quality of an unofficial source they normally turn out to be fake.

Of course.

Bowser Jr. is not as deserving as a multitude of characters from their own series? Whom, then? Toad, okay, I'll grant you that one, but beyond that? Bowser Jr. has been a major antagonist since Super Mario Sunshine, especially in the NSMB series. I don't see who would be more deserving than Bowser Jr. from the Mario series, beyond Toad.
 
You know what? Forget my usual suspicion and skepticism! I'm on #TeamReal! Bring on Mach Rider and the Duck Hunt Dog!

(at least this will be a short-lived leak, next new character/stage info we get for 3DS confirms or debunks it)

What if Sakurai saw this and decided to troll us by prolonging any stage announcements.
 
Only issue I have is the stage selection.

Very little and not many great returning ones. Mushroomy Kingdom, really?

I have reason to believe the 3DS stages will be far better than these.
 
I remember years and years ago picking up a 'Secrets of Nintendo' book at Barnes and Noble's where it said Magikoopa was originally in Mario Kart 64 and that in Diddy Kong Racing Banjo was originally going to be a hound dog. All this talk of ' Duck Hunt Dog' and Banjo sharing similarities is tripping me out.

CAPTAIN TOAD
He can't jump, but that would be cool. Personally, I'd go with Toadette, Pauline (though she'd be DK) or a classic baddie like Goomba, Blooper, Boo, etc.

As for another Kid Icarus rep, there are tons of better characters to choose from, but I'd opt for a rep from a different series instead.
 
Mario is so over represented.

Over represented? That'd be 7 characters in a roster of 53 (assuming those empty spots would be filled out). That's about 1/8 of the roster. Definitely not something I would call "over represented", especially considering how enormously popular and big the Mario series is in comparison to other game series.

I'm rooting for Bowser Jr. due to his being cut from MK8 for no apparent reason.
 
RE: Mach Rider

If he's in, I hope they confirm his dude status so we can put the "he actually a woman" thing to rest. That barbarellaesque character would be way cooler as a separate person. (An AT maybe?)

If he was already part of the previous roster, I'd feel more lenient towards him probably. I just don't think he's the most interesting choice for a brand new addition.

Pic of the day. The treasure chests that appear in Smash Run are very important. Not only do they give you stat boosts, but they also give you custom parts (the bag on the right) and Smash Run powers (the bag on the left). You should pick these up and use them in the next battle!!

…However, watch out for Mimicuties disguised as treasure chests. Run away! RUN AWAY!!
Them thighs :3c
 
I'm just sad that this leak is most likely fake because Duck Hunt dog is one of those really far-fetched choices that just make the Smash universe so great and full of surprise, like Ness in SB64 (to the American audience), G&W in Melee and ROB in Brawl. I guess Wii Fit Trainer fits that category though.

Mach Rider being a woman would be the best thing ever. More great playable women!

I'm sure there could be a way around it though, like him using a gadget to jump, or a lift or something?
edit: or make him amazing on the ground at close range but useless in the air?

Or an alternate costume, as with Robin, Villager or WFT. Considering she only appears in the arcade version, you could argue they're two separate people with the same title.
 
i initially didn't want Dr Mario (even though I mained him in Melee) but now the prospect of playing classic Mario again, especially Dr Mario, has be rather excited

I mained Mario in Brawl, hesitantly, so a second and most likely better option with the Doc great
 
In the light of recent events, I would like to know Mach Rider better. I ask of you, the fans, what is the best video I can see to get the best idea of Mach Rider?

If Mach Rider actually was a girl, I'd agree with this, but he's not.

Retroactively turning him female wouldn't be very wise IMO. Plus, if the lady is her own character, that means we got two cool characters eligible from the Mach Rider universe, instead of one. Plus, that would be the forth time Nintendo has pulled the SHE'S ACTUALLY A WOMAN!!! thing.

Plus, I want beef.

I'm sure they could make him work if they wanted to. I just really want Toadette instead.

Though MR fights with a gun and the lady with a knife. Plus, I think she's too obscure to be an alt currently. (Plus, I don't really like alts that are completely different people.)

She'd be a baller AT though.
 
No matter what happens... I want you all to know...

I would be so down for "Duck Hunt" to be a playable character. If Sakurai can make characters like Ice Climbers, Snake, ZSS, Mr. G&W, R.O.B., Captain Falcon, and possibly even a Rhythm Heaven character work, I have no doubt that he could do something amazing with that fuckin dog if he decided to. And Duck Hunt really is very dear to me.
 
Well then the safest would be to wait for the game to be released. Though one character render would basically end this.

Overall though, I'd be really sad if Sakurai never brought Squirtle or Ivysaur back.

It seems weird that they would Maybe MAYBE a grass type to even out the roster if they keep type advantage that we had in brawl. If so I would expect special since he gets a mega in the new games.

Squirrel just seems like he wouldn't be coming back.

I felt this was kind of assumed.
 
I'm sure they could make him work if they wanted to. I just really want Toadette instead.

Out of interest, why? I think if one will be in Toad is the only option (due to his more prominent role in Nintendo games and having his own game late this year/early next year for us second class citizens in Europe!).

I wouldn't have any issue with her, but would swing towards Toad.

Samus, Sheik... ?
 
The five character portraits side by side are clearly from the title screen, hence "Press any button." It probably scrolls through all of the characters you've unlocked thus far. The leaker waited for a couple unrevealed characters to show up before taking the pics.

Pokémon Pack DLC, with Squirtle, Ivysaur and Mewtwo

Whoops, I mean Lucina, not Tetra.

Toad seems to be having an existential crisis. Which Toad is the Toad now?

Toadette always stood out to me because you know that she's the one and only, plus she's super cute.
 
I think you're all paying too much attention to the UI.

Video

Took me forever to find one where somebody selects CPU. At first, I thought it was the last person selected that gets the bold, but it honestly now seems like it's actually a graphical glitch. Who the hell would make a fake knowing the game has a glitch like this.
...Why would you even need to bother about glitches? Just pick one of these video, replicate the UI 1:1 and that's it.
