[Captain Europe]

I can't believe they'd seriously remove characters like Jigglypuff and Captain Falcon.

Ugh.

No, they were just removed.

Wut,,, how are you so sure of that?

 

[Mr. RPG]

lol stop spewing shit

Why are we waiting this long to hear about Jigglypuff, a character that has been in ALL previous Smash games then? Captain Falcon was in the past two as well...

 

[daffy]

this youtube stream is totes hilar

 

[Xamdou]

Clothing customization for Miis!

Crazyness, that Mii SSM customization!!!

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale ain't got nothing on SSM!!!

 

[jokkir]

HERE IT IS, GUYS. RIDLEY

 

[AlexMeloche]

Sakurrai laughing about Ridley. :[

 

[HawthorneKitty]

He's joking about Ridley, huh?

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Neal Ronaghan: Sakurai joking about character requests from fans

oh god. ridley no

 

[ASTROID2]

HATS!!!

 

[enzo_gt]

Does 12 character variations mean the customization stuff we saw at the Smash Direct or something different?

I wonder if it's a bad translation for colours/costumes.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Joking about character requests eh?

Ridley.

 

[daripad]

lol sakurai joking about smash gaf

 

[tranciful]

So what happens with Palutena in for glory mode? There's a default and the rest are just gone?

 

[Unicorn]

Ridley plz respond.

 

[Mariolee]

Why are we waiting this long to hear about Jigglypuff, a character that has been in ALL previous Smash games then? Captain Falcon was in the past two as well...

Because pacing. Do you really wanna bet that they're gone?

 

[Weiss]

The unlockable excuse is stupid, I'm pretty sure characters like Toon Link and Greninja are unlockable and yet they have been shown already

Brawl's Dojo didn't reveal any of the secret characters before launch. don't see why this would be different.

 

[Kriken]

This guy was on the mark...

[Empyrean Heaven]

The crazy thing is Tim from IGN nailed exactly the three new characters announced today.

He HAD to have known.

 

[Rayis]

Has smash ever revealed unlockable characters before launch? Barring a few special exceptions

Snake was unlockable and yet he was one of the first shown for Brawl, not to mention Jigglypuff being in the opening movie for Melee.

 

[Feltrol]

Joking about requests?

Krystal isn't a joke for me.

Samurai gets tons of request for characters and was flooded with Reggie requests.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Sakurai, y

 

[Divvy]

Why are we waiting this long to hear about Jigglypuff, a character that has been in ALL previous Smash games then? Captain Falcon was in the past two as well...

They are secret characters and weren't revealed until Brawl was actually released either.

 

[Shard]

They just better leave that Ghostly Adventures bullshit at the front door.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Sakurai trolling us

 

[TheOGB]

Mii Fighters banned from With Anyone lol

 

[georly]

Mii fighters banned from tournaments confirmed!

Reggie actually is too big

Michael "TYP" Cole: You can select amongst 3 moves for each special attack slot
7:23
Neal Ronaghan: Mario has a fireball, a fast fireball, and a fire orb. not usable in For Glory
7:24
Neal Ronaghan: Palutena is different. she has unique special attacks; not derivative
7:24
Neal Ronaghan: Characters can equip items that increase attack, defense and speed. but there are checks and balances
7:25
Michael "TYP" Cole: Equipment also modifies characters by adjusting their balance.
7:25
Neal Ronaghan: Make a character quicker but then they are weaker
7:25
Neal Ronaghan: FYI TYP and I are both typing. we might have overlap. its okay though. more perspectives
7:27
Michael "TYP" Cole: You can change clothing if your mii! Each fighter type has its own wardrobe to select from.
7:28
Neal Ronaghan: Sakurai joking about character requests from fans
7:29
Neal Ronaghan: You can make Reggie, Elijah Wood, and Ice T. Ice T and Elijah Wood were asked.
7:29
Neal Ronaghan: Mii Fighters cannot be used in With Anyone mode online. can be used With Friends.
7:29
Michael "TYP" Cole: Mii fighters cannot be used in non-friend matches when online.

 

[AlexMeloche]

No Miis when not playing with friends? Wtf, why? You can use Miis in MK8...

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Aw boo. Strangers won't know my crazy looking mii.

 

[Magnet_Man]

Mii Fighters are banned online! WUT

 

[Aaronrules380]

Snake was unlockable and yet he was one of the first shown for Brawl, not to mention Jigglypuff being in the opening movie for Melee.

Third party characters are part of what I was referring to when I said special exceptions. So is Luigi this time given the year of luigi thing

 

[C.Olimar788]

Mii Fighters can only be used online with friends...? That's incredibly lame.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Mii fighters cannot be used in non-friend matches online

 

[ShadowElliot]

Unless you're fighting with friends, you cannot use Mii fighters.

 

[SmithnCo]

Joking about requests?

Krystal isn't a joke for me.

My condolences

 

[Papercuts]

Can't use the mii online against randoms.

So you can't offend people with your Hitler.

 

[Jamix012]

Saw this on Tumblr, thought I should share

 

[rekameohs]

Mii fighters banned from tournaments confirmed!

No, just online

 

[Mr. RPG]

They are secret characters and weren't revealed until Brawl was actually released either.

So you're saying all of the characters on the roster right now are not secret characters then.....?

 

[jwluther]

Mii fighters cannot be used in non-friend matches when online.

...why? We can use them in MK8...

 

[jmizzal]

Mii fighters only can be used when playing with friends online,

I think that is fair

 

[Buddha Beam]

BOOOO. I can't use my penis face Mii.

 

[udivision]

So.. 3 Characters just got deconfirmed for For-Glory and For-Fun mode?

 

[Mr. Fix]

Mii fighters cannot be used in non-friend matches online

I can see why, but damn that sucks.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Mii Fighters #banned.
