Chorus Kids, I'll miss you *sob*

Also, random observation, I can't stand how people use Brawl as the pinnacle of Smash rosters when people were even angrier about its final roster than this one!

 

[Formless]

Lucina's Final Smash having an old FE popup instead of a character face splash is pretty lame.

 

[BGBW]

BIG NEWS!

 

[RagnarokX]

1. Bowser Jr. (Somehow managed to turn one of my least favorite Mario characters into my most anticipated. That's cool!)

If you hated Bowser Jr. may I suggest trying the NSMB games; NSMBWii and NSMBU especially? He's pretty damn awesome in those games. NSMBU is where the boxing glove koopa clown car is from:

Honestly the only game where he was a bad character was Sunshine, and that was mostly because of the voice acting that game had and shadow mario sucking as a boss.

 

[Pyrokai]

Anyone have footage of Wario somewhere? I've seen nothing yet. Anything new with him?

 

[shaowebb]

Does it say if his utilt is still useless?

No but his Forward tilt is disgustingly good from what he says.

Here is a list of his thoughts on this thing in general on more than just Ganondorf...

[mentallyinept]

Anyone call Ludwig yet?

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Screw the bargaining phase. Come back here with me. We have Ice Climbers and Lucas!

I loved Ice Climbers too. I used them lot in the last days of Wi-Fi Connection :'(

ROB got a decent FS now?

It was not landmaster but it was one of the great ones. The problem with robs final smash is that you had to use it in a not obvious way:

as rob, one you activated your final smash, you had to grab your oponent and... do nothing. While you were grabbing your oponent, the beams that came out of robs eyes (the little ones, which had great hit stun but really low knockback, and that kept coming out of robs eyes all the time) would continue to damage your oponent until rob released him (until your oponent escaped the throw) and one that happened you would grab your oponent again and do nothing again and repeat. It was even posible to grab your oponent again, after rob would have released them, without even letting them to move from that position at all. After repeating what i mentioned above some times (some seconds), your oponent percentage would be high enough and, eventually, one of the big beams that came out of robs eyes from time to time (the ones with really high knockback) would hit your oponent (the one that you were still grabbing) and kill him. After that, you had enough time to grab another oponent and do the same thing to him while the other watched (rob was invincible during his final smash).

That was the "ideal" scenario, of course. It working like that depended on the timing: in what part of its cicle rob final smash was or, in another words, how much time left you had after you grabbed your oponent and before the "big beam" (the one that only came out from time to time and that should kill your oponent) came out.

Or, at least, thats what i remember from when smash bros brawl was released. Rob was awesome :3

(fucking movile phone xD)

 

[Loco4Coco]

Can't believe I'll be able to choose from 49 characters to play as!

 

[ffdgh]

Lucky you then.

Lemmy! 5 to go.

 

[Timeaisis]

DHD would have been the coolest character to see for the first time after booting up the game. I would've screamed aloud. Oh well. I've done this to myself.

 

[DarkKyo]

Lucky you then.

Any chance I could snag the Ludwig icon when its done, or did someone else already? I love these.

edit: ah crap someone on this page did.. Iggy then?

 

[Regiruler]

I forgot how punny the dialogue is is this game. The voice acting was good, but what they were reading wasn't

Fortunately they give all the puns to Palutena and Pit, keeping the good dialogue for the boss of the week.
Chapter 19 in particular was genius.

 

[Speedwagon]

It was Pit I think. I honestly can't remember.

"As in, Pitooey, get it?"

Nope, it was Palutena at the start of the land section in Chapter 6: Dark Pit

 

[Beelzebufo]

If you hated Bowser Jr. may I suggest trying the NSMB games; NSMBWii and NSMBU especially? He's pretty damn awesome in those games. NSMBU is where the boxing glove koopa clown car is from:

Hmm... I got NSMBU as my free MK8 game but never finished it, I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Worst case scenario, I'll have MKJ and Larry.

 

[-Horizon-]

It was Pit I think. I honestly can't remember.

"As in, Pitooey, get it?"

yes

...

lol

 

[PadWarrior]

Didn't rosalina x say 49 characters and 4 cuts?

 

[StreetsAhead]

Has anybody seen this video? It has some good points, I might be convinced!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4Q6hesY3Yg

Isn't this the guy that was crying?

 

[TheOGB]

My body is now ready

3 more weeksssssss

 

[Clefargle]

Anyway, my newcomer rankings after just slightly seeing all of the secret ones (1= Most wanted, 14= Not so interested):

1. Bowser Jr. (Somehow managed to turn one of my least favorite Mario characters into my most anticipated. That's cool!)
2. Robin (Loved Awakening, and he looks really good!)
3. Palutena (Loved Uprising, and she looks really good!)
4. Duck Hunt (He looks really cool! I need to see more of him though)
5. Greninja (He's a ninja frog, yo)
6. Villager (Pocket looks cool, I love animal crossing, and love the lazy eyes)
7. Dark Pit (Loved Uprising, and Pit looks like he'll be really good, plus if I win I'm sure I'll enrage some people)
8. Shulk (Don't know anything about the character, but he looks good!)
9. Little Mac (He looks fun, but I hear he's not very good)
10. WiiFit Trainer (She might be fun to play, and I love the idea, but she seems boring now)
11. Lucina (I love her alts, but I hate playing as Marth)
12. Pac-Man (He looks pretty good, but not great I guess)
13. Mega Man (His playstyle hasn't really grabbed me)
14. Rosalina & Luma (I don't have the patience for this)

This was really hard haha.

That hair.

 

[Vuapol]

Duck Hunt Kirby did not fail to create a cuteness overload. Duck Hunt amiibo shall also be fantastic.

So, since Duck Hunt should be getting an amiibo, that means it should be used in future games. Banjo-Kazooie reboot confirmed?

 

[emb]

Isn't this the guy that was crying?

Yeah. He made that video first.

There's also an image of him screaming/being excited when he saw Duck Hunt.

 

[Anbec7]

So I had work.

Are there any streamings still playing?
Is there some Robin gameplay??

 

[-Horizon-]

BIG NEWS!

Its a Jigglypuff hiding behind a tree!

 

[Pyrokai]

Didn't rosalina x say 49 characters and 4 cuts?

More than 4, though. Lucas, Wolf, Snake, Ivysaur, Squirtle, Ice Climbers.

 

[Nia]

This roster is incredible. We have a boxer, a dog, Bowser Jr, a fitness trainer you never knew you wanted, a dick shulker, legendary cheese, the blue bomber himself and more.

Putting words in my mouth I see. Wii Fit Trainer will be on the bench for as long as I play the game. Rosalina, Shulk, and Palutena are good.

 

[PadWarrior]

More than 4, though. Lucas, Wolf, Snake, Ivysaur, Squirtle, Ice Climbers.

Oh forgot about wolf

 

[Vidiot]

Any good full model pictures of Fierce Deity Link?

 

[Speedwagon]

BIG NEWS!

Omg a Digimon!

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Didn't rosalina x say 49 characters and 4 cuts?

There are 6 cuts though, don't forget Squirtle and Ivysaur.

 

[Green Mamba]

I must be really easy to please, because all the new stages look great, and the retro courses are mostly acceptable. What were you people looking for here?

The new stages that are there are great--but there are fewer new stages total in the 3DS version than there were new stages in Melee. There are also huge gaping holes in stage representation--Mario has four new stages, but Smash mainstay series Donkey Kong, Metroid, Star Fox, etc. all are represented solely through a single retro stage, many of which are Melee stages from 13 years ago that were already brought back once before. There are also fewer stages in Smash Bros. 3DS than there were in Brawl period--had this happened to characters there would have been blood in the streets. The ratio of new stages to old stages is more weighted to the old stages than in any previous Smash. Many of the stages use old Brawl music for one (or in Pictochat 2's situation, both!) songs.

In fewer words, it's not good.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

So what is Dark Pit's Final Smash?

 

[Ahnez]

Didn't rosalina x say 49 characters and 4 cuts?

48, 4 cuts.

In the end, we got 49~51 characters and 6 cuts.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I loved Ice Climbers too. I used them lot in the last days of Wi-Fi Connection :'(

Ice Climbers and Lucas will rise again my friend. Someone just needs to find the unlock conditions. There's tons of things no one has tried!

 

[Luckydude23]

Does anyone have dibs on Shulk yet? If not, neorice could you make one for me? Send it to my inbox please. Thanks.

 

[Kyzon]

Does it say if his utilt is still useless?

It's still the Volcano Kick

 

[kunonabi]

It is not definitive without Ice Climbers

It is literally perfection with them.

Bonus points for other cut vets but with Ice Climbers I would be so happy

Nope would still need Simon Belmont to be perfect.

Question! Now we've seen the whole roster, which three are main material for you?

1) Little Mac
2) Toon Link
3) Robin

Robin is just damn cool, Mac is a ground demon, and Toon Link is my buffed little guy from Brawl. <3

1)Zelda - My girl since melee since Samus has always been kind of meh. Really excited about ditching the Shiek transformation as well

2)Samus - Really hoping she's good in this one Happy about losing the transformation but I still wish they had changed her FS to a Power Bomb.

3) Palutena - Despite being really annoyed with the new VA her playstyle seems tailor made for me.

Mii fighter and Mega Man will get a bunch of play too and I'll probably focus on Peach, Shulk, and Wii Fit Trainer for my Amiibo builds.

 

[Inferno313]

Can't believe I'll be able to choose from 49 characters to play as!

51 if you count each Mii-type as a different character!

 

[StreetsAhead]

Yeah. He made that video first.

There's also an image of him screaming/being excited when he saw Duck Hunt.

Oh, I knew the video was older. Poor guy; this is why fakers are stupid. Regardless of how I feel about Ridley fans, no one deserves to be trolled like that.

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

Chorus Kids, I'll miss you *sob*

Also, random observation, I can't stand how people use Brawl as the pinnacle of Smash rosters when people were even angrier about its final roster than this one!

You can't miss what you never had... I lost my main ;_;

 

[IntelliHeath]

After seeing DHD/Jr. today

1.-Bowser Jr.
2.-Shulk
3.-DHD
4.-Robin
5.-Megaman
6.-Pacman
7.-Villager
8.-WFT
9.-Palutena
10.-Pittoo
11.-Lucina
12.-Mii Fighters
13.-Rosalina
14.-Little Mac
15.-Greninja

Holy shit, we got 15 newcomers, amazing.

Actually 17 newcomers but yeah. I'm happy with newcomers overall! I think I should make a list but again I dunno. I don't want to struggling with the list.

Bowser Jr., DHD, Dark Pit & Dr. Mario exclusive to 3DS version then?

Saying if rumor is real, that would make sense considering the fact that Lucina was revealed to the audience so that would make sense that you don't included Lucina.

RIP forever Ice Climbers

I dislike playing as them but Ice Climbers being missing really caused a huge omission to the roster.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

The Little Mac alts are great. He looks like a blast to play. Probably will be my main because I'm all about the rush down.

Wow, do we have everybody's alts laid out like this?

 

[kuroneko0509]

Duck Hunt Kirby did not fail to create a cuteness overload. Duck Hunt amiibo shall also be fantastic.

So, since Duck Hunt should be getting an amiibo, that means it should be used in future games. Banjo-Kazooie reboot confirmed?

b-but Rare is....

consider removing the pic since it's from a scan

 

[Jaeger]

No, but very few people have gotten early copies.

And that's where I stopped at. Because nothing else after that effects my question, at all. A simple "No, not yet/as far as we know." would suffice.

 

[Vuapol]

So what is Dark Pit's Final Smash?

Basically Zelda/Shiek's from what I've seen.

 

[Qurupeke]

I still can't believe that people are playing the new Smash right now. I still can't believe it was first seen 1.5 year ago.

 

[El Odio]

Any chance I could snag the Ludwig icon when its done, or did someone else already? I love these.

edit: ah crap someone on this page did.. Iggy then?

Actually I called dibs about 2 pages back. Less someone else did earlier.

So did we ever figure out what that alternate route before master hand leads to?

 

[SuperSah]

Just realised we almost decimated a whole OT in just over 24 hours.

NeoGAF record..?
