30 characters and still missing some major veterans. I wonder how many newcomers are left? Hoping for at least 4 more.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

30.

So this is the final roster, then.

 

[Kriken]

Enough hype for now, see you all tommorrow

Spoiler

If I can get time away from my Wii

What do you guys think about this?

I'd buy them if just for the figures themselves.
ZS Samus
Samus
Ike
Link
Zelda
Sheik

and so on.

 

[Rychu Supadude]

"3ds gun kripple dah rustah!!!"

Just last week I was having an argument with some guys on... I think it was know your meme? Who were flat out insisting that the game WILL have less characters than Brawl "because Sakurai promised!"

Sometimes I just can't even.

 

[IntelliHeath]

UH OH?!

Ike - 47.90%

From Roster Prediction Thread. Nearly 52% are going to pay with their blood now.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Jeez 30 fighters already, and probably more to be reveal. That's too much content.

 

[RMS Gigantic]

This is a "Haters gonna hate" stroll if I've ever seen one.

 

[C.Olimar788]

UH OH?!

Yay, I had Ike on my roster! Y'alls are crazy with your cut-happy mentalities.

So with 30 characters revealed before E3 even begins... maybe we'll see five more for E3 and then have the remaining 10-15 be unlockables? That sounds reasonable to me.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Is this somebody's avatar yet? It probably is. I don't really care.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Super hi-def beef.

those sword details man, look at the blade of his sword, has scratches and stuff!

 

[Hours Left]

 

[Poltergust]

By the way, this is the first veteran revealed through a Pic of the Day since Diddy Kong.

Back in February. Over 3 months ago.

How did we survive? Outside of the Direct, of course.

i reget nothing. still surprised.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Perfect!

 

[leroidys]

So awesome, I'm really glad they kept Ike. The character model looks great too... making Link's crappy model look even worse by comparison (again).

 

[Poltergust]

The Direct.

Don't quote me before I stealth edit! D:

We were already dead.

Appropriate:

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Just goes to show that there is no rhyme or reason to Smash updates.

Ships aren't generally known for being fast, but I guess I made like a Cunarder with that one. Or the French destroyer Fantasque.

 

[Bagu]

Just goes to show that there is no rhyme or reason to Smash updates.

Not that it'd stop anyone from trying to find one.

 

[Ezalc]

Time for a new avatar from Neorice.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Just goes to show that there is no rhyme or reason to Smash updates.

Or Sakurai is going to start the countdown to release date with few characters per months!

 

[Clefargle]

Prepare yourselves!

 

[Anbec7]

Why Samurai!
I wanted to go to bead and now I can't, curse you hype!
And older awesome Ike!

 

[DisconnectD]

I hope Ike still has 2 meteor smashes and the Aether spike. Also really looking forward to smashing peeps with dat Ftilt.

I also really hope his side tilt is buffed to where it doesn't get gimped by connecting with a character while trying to recover or you can jump cancel out of it like Project M.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

So awesome, I'm really glad they kept Ike. The character model looks great too... making Link's crappy model look even worse by comparison (again).

Seriously, just replace it with Hyrule Warrior's Link.
Or jack some of his extra details at least.

 

[?oe?oe]

Marvelous.

 

[Zalman]

One step closer.

 

[Shun]

お前はもう切り倒す。。。

 

[solomon]

I nver expected to be so hyped for ike, was the first character I picked in brawl (dropped him within minutes) but this new model makes me want to play him.

 

[RMS Gigantic]

The Marth/Ike comparison image does a lot in distinguishing fighting styles and handling based on visual design alone:

You can tell that Ike is the tougher one while Marth is the more agile of the two, just by looking at their appearances side by side.

 

[Dimitri LH]

I KNEW THIS WEEK WAS GONNA END WITH A BANG! HYES!

He looks so good! O__O

 

[tonyh24613]

Or Sakurai is going to start the countdown to release date with few characters per months!

I'm hoping for one veteran per week before E3. *Finger crossed*

 

[Kurtofan]

I did not expect this

Holy crap yes

RD Ike looks like such a fucking badass

 

[RMS Gigantic]

I'm hoping for one veteran per month before E3. *Finger crossed*

E3 is early next month.

Looks like Sakurai met your goal.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I'm hoping for one veteran per month before E3. *Finger crossed*

Well

You're certainly going to get that!

 

[Poltergust]

I'm hoping for one veteran per week before E3. *Finger crossed*

...E3 is less than 3 weeks from now.

 

[tonyh24613]

By this time next month, E3 will have passed by nearly 2 weeks.

Looks like Sakurai met your goal.

Well

You're certainly going to get that!

...E3 is less than 3 weeks from now.

My bad :\

 

[DisconnectD]

I'm hoping for one veteran per week before E3. *Finger crossed*

More like lets hope for 1 vet per week for the next two weeks

 

[SkullHydra]

Beautiful.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I can't wait to see Ganondorf!

Time for a new avatar from Neorice.

Which goes toooooo.. Codeblue!

 

[DisconnectD]

Please let Ike still have his 1 2 punch jab ending in aa downward chop like Brawl.. the way you could mix up the timing was beautiful for mindgames.

 

[Ezalc]

I did not expect this

Holy crap yes

RD Ike looks like such a fucking badass

Saw that edit there, though PoR Ike also looks great.

 

[PK Gaming]

One step closer.

It's like a game of musical chairs

 

[GregLombardi]

One step closer.

And I'm still worried Rob is out.

IMO he was one of the best characters in Brawl.

 

[Hours Left]

Now with Ike, Little Mac and Mr. Fit, all we need is Captain Falcon and we can have Grade A Beef Smackdowns~
