THAT ROB FINAL SMASH HOLY FUCK

I'm sure someone will take care of ya. If not, I'll do it when I get home.

Zroid already did it for me, but thanks!

 

[OricWindstar]

Ganondorf (if the recent impressions from coastward mean he really is buffed)

Wait, where is this from? I haven't seen much of him.

 

[Hatchtag]

I wonder how much they're going to show off on the stream, you can't play the game for more than an hour without unlocking half the roster.

Spoiler

Slight exaggeration, but they made so many bad decisions for a portable entry of this series.

 

[BY2K]

Sad that Lucas got cut, but the roster is so goood, still.

 

[Tookay]

Super Smash Bros.

You smash your bros superly.

"bros" in quotations.

 

[CronosBlade]

Is there a screenshot of the final roster select screen anywhere?

 

[Clefargle]

Eww that roster is ok-ish. Lot's of copycat characters...

Super Sword Bros.

You mean Smash Calibur?

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Ooh, what's ROB's new fs? I was really hoping he'd get a new one!

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Still don't understand why we couldn't have Ninten and Lucas costumes for Ness (instead of random t-shirts), then just make Lucas' moveset part of the custom movepool for Ness and BOOM! We're done.

Also if we get another Fire Emblem character we should get Sigurd, he's more deserving and he WAS going to be in Melee but was scrapped for Roy because advertisement.

Do we know that Ness doesn't have Lucas' specials as custom moves? Lucas' normals are gone, obviously, but his specials could still be in the game.

 

[Hikami]

Alright, now that we have the full roster, who's on your list to try out for potential main(s)? For me:
--
So many great looking characters!

Mine:
Lucina
Lucina
Robin
Lucina

No really, only reason I'm okay with this roster is because the inclusion of those two.
Everything else I'll try out sure but those two are the mains.

 

[SmithnCo]

ROB got a decent FS now?

 

[Axass]

You are all too pessimistic.
Roster is great.
Make smash friends IRL for Smash Run.
Bye.

That's so easy here, where people buy only PS4s.

 

[Hatchtag]

Ganondorf (if the recent impressions from coastward mean he really is buffed)

WELL SHIT THAT JUST GOT ME HYPED AGAIN, FUCK SMASH RUN I DON'T NEED IT ANYWAYS

 

[autobzooty]

I fell asleep last night. We're there any more characters that didn't appear in the previous leaks?

 

[FSLink]

I wonder how much they're going to show off on the stream, you can't play the game for more than an hour without unlocking half the roster.

I bet some people never get all the characters in Smash. This makes it more accessible to get the full content of the game. I'm glad for that. Unlocking characters is archaic.

 

[maxcriden]

Smash Run being local only, and the fact Gema had 1,400 street passes - the maximum possible - says to me things are just different in Japan. People are in closer proximity, population is denser, and there is no reason for online.

Whereas in America it is basically unfeasible to play local multiplayer unless you already know a specific group of friends. I've had a 3DS since launch and take it with me everywhere - including the toll booth I work at that sees thousands of vacation goers a day pass through - and I have 200 Miis in my plaza.

I will never, unless I drive to somebody's house and sit down with them with the express interest in playing Smash Run, ever be able to play Smash Run with another person.

My thoughts exactly. It's highly unlikely I would ever be able to play Smash Run with others. I don't think Nintendo really knows just how unusual local MP is for 3DS owners in America, esp. those over the age of 18.

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

Man, what if Nintendo had never revealed Mega Man and it was found out AFTER ROB?

Seriously, any surprise after the ESRB leak would be amazing. Although technically we "got" Alph and the Koopalings. Although if we found a new character NOW, the internet would melt and Sakurai would attain godhood and ascend to the celestial plain.

 

[Molemitts]

Potential mains:

Bowser Jr
Rosalina
Duck Hunt Pup
Zero Suit Samus' alt
Villager
Ness
Link

It all depends, though. I'll play with all the characters and get a feel for them. Any of them could be my main, honestly, except Dark Pit.

 

[OricWindstar]

Is there a screenshot of the final roster select screen anywhere?

.

 

[PBalfredo]

There won't be any DLC for smash, Sakurai has said it himself

Yeah, I'm gonna need to see the receipts for that.

 

[Cody_D165]

The fucking Smash Direct fucking fooled me. The translator says Smash Run "is way different than a normal online match."

I assumed it would be online because of that...

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Source?

There is no source.

Early in development, Sakurai said that there were no plans for DLC, but that he would consider it after the release of the game. So basically he was saying that there's no on-disc DLC, like you'd expect from Nintendo.

 

[SmithnCo]

I should hope Dorf was buffed, lol

 

[Spinluck]

They can get it out of their system, doesn't mean that we can't criticize their opinions.

And will it go away with time? I mean, people will continue to be salty about Ridley in a non ironic fashion for years to come lol

Well Ridley terrible and so are his jokes about him being too big or whatever.

Some people are more radical and extreme in voicing their disappointment than others. Let's not group them with the mildly disappointed. It's ok to like a lot of this game and still think Dr. Mario and Dark Pit are shit additions without being called a man child.

 

[Red Arremer]

Also if we get another Fire Emblem character we should get Sigurd, he's more deserving and he WAS going to be in Melee but was scrapped for Roy because advertisement.

You are incorrect. It was Leif/Leaf who was considered as the Marth clone in Melee, not Sigurd. Sigurd is just Sakurai's favorite FE character.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

So ROB got a new FS huh

And Falco is still in a Landmaster huh

Well then

 

[ffdgh]

Id purpose <3

 

[Ahnez]

Also, Gema just showed DDD Final Smash

 

[Lunar15]

Isaac is back...as an Assist Trophy. Just saw all the wifi icons in the customization menu

??? I thought he was deconfirmed?

 

[Seven Force]

What's ROB's new FS?

 

[SenorArdilla]

Super Smash Bros.

You smash your bros superly.

Needs more dickery. Someone post that Clannad/Ice Climbers video.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Is there a screenshot of the final roster select screen anywhere?

No, not yet. Someone is still trying to get Ice Climbers.

 

[Derphoof]

Seriously, any surprise after the ESRB leak would be amazing. Although technically we "got" Alph and the Koopalings. Although if we found a new character NOW, the internet would melt and Sakurai would attain godhood and ascend to the celestial plain.

Bayonetta, exclusively in Smash for Wii U

Spoiler

Believe.

 

[PadWarrior]

Any more streams?

 

[BY2K]

What's ROB's new FS?

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Luigi is my one and only main, as he has always been. But I'll be giving Villager, Robin, Dr. Mario, Ness, Kirby, and Bowser Jr. a lot of attention, too.

 

[emb]

.

Nitpicking, but to show 'final' roster you should link the one with Miis.

 

[hupla]

So i guess you cant unlock Character videos for like Duck Hunt and Bowser jr? And no intro movie?

Smash Run doesn't support online play. Famitsu was wrong. Assuming "field smash" means smash run. Edit: Which it does.

 

[Sadist]

That's a damn good list

Let the Smashing begin

 

[maxcriden]

The fucking Smash Direct fucking fooled me. The translator says Smash Run "is way different than a normal online match."

I assumed it would be online because of that...

I agree, it was pretty misleading.

 

[Axass]

Isaac is back...as an Assist Trophy. Just saw all the wifi icons in the customization menu

Proof please, I need to put it to rest, one way or the other.

 

[Stoze]

SMASH RUN IS LOCAL ONLY?

THE FUCK?

I forgot about this.

Hopefully in the next few days we'll know if For Glory and For Fun online is garbage like Brawl or not. Here's hoping for good net code and barely any input lag.

 

[ANALblaze]

Is there a screenshot of the final roster select screen anywhere?

Apparently all star mode is unlocked at this point.

 

[OricWindstar]

Nitpicking, but to show 'final' roster you should link the one with Miis.

Haha, valid.

 

[PadWarrior]

Where is gema stream I don't see it in twitch

 

[SmithnCo]

Isaac is back...as an Assist Trophy. Just saw all the wifi icons in the customization menu

Spoiler

Sure it wasn't Saki?

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

The only disappointment about DHD for me is that he doesn't have his classic laugh.

Other than that he looks amazing definitely going to be one of my new mains along with Palutena and Robin.

 

[Mik317]

ok now for Veterans getting buffed hype...

 

[Durden77]

There are certain things I'm really hype for, and there's certain things I'm really not.


+ Newcomers overall are pretty wonderful and I'd say better balanced than Brawl's.
+ Content in general looks great. Love the new classic mode and the whole game looks packed.
+ Game just looks great. Gameplay and aesthetics wise. Both of those things I'm ready to be done with Brawl on big time.

- Some very odd and even off-putting character choices.
- Devestating cuts, some taking entire gameplay styles with them, and me personally losing my favorite character. Wolf was also a strong favorite of mine.
- Certain problems still not addressed, particularly with veterans and Final Smashes.
- Dark Pit. Fuck Dark Pit. His face is stupid.

I still can't wait to get my copy. I need to play it for myself to see how fun it is. I hope the gameplay is fine tuned enough so I can overcome these negatives and make this my definitive Smash game.
