I'm so glad gender disparity isn't such an issue this time around. (I'm using Neorice's awesome sprites to illustrate this point.)

Yeah it's one of my favorite things about the roster.

Does anyone else feel like Robin's Final Smash should have been Expiration?

I mean I understand why they went with Dual Strike but how cool would that have been.

Very awesome. Plus this roster (which honestly i've grown to really like now) is pretty diverse for the most part!

So I guess this confirms :

Unlock character by playing VS :

10 times Ness
20 times Falco
30 times Wario
40 times Lucina
50 times black pit
60 times Dr. Mario
70 times robot
80 times Ganondorf
90th game watch
100 times Bowser Jr.
110 times Duck Hunt
120 times Jigglypuff

EDIT :
source : http://mastiff.2ch.net/test/read.cgi...om/1410454936/ id : drbWvwYw

So I don't even have to play any single player stuff tomorrow to unlock everything?

Sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I am not allowed to speculate on that? I'd rather discuss this than see complaints that DHD is the surprise retro character but hey, that's just me. Yeah he most likely doesn't know anything at all but he's doing what many of us are doing: "speculating".
You're right. I shouldn't have really directed that post passive-aggressively towards you. Sorry about that, you're fine mate. We all just want to be excited for now.

I'll still say that I don't think it means much. But hey, here's hoping.

Still salty as fuck Duck Hunt and Wii Fit Trainer got in over far more deserving characters regardless of how good they look in gameplay

I might argue that in the entire litany of un-reprepresented Nintendo characters, none deserved a slot more than Duck Hunt dog.
 
you make a great point, but how do we know that Jiggly isn't male?

75% of the Jigglypuff population in Pokemon games is female. All of Jigglypuff's hats have her wear feminine gear, including the hat of a female trainer (at least in Brawl, not sure that one is back in SSB4).

What did you expect? Fakedorf has always been shit.

We still don't know if he has any armor to nullify projectiles, if his air flame choke ledge recovers or whether he can instantly cancel into moves off stuff like some of the other cast can. If he can do stuff like say how Link can instantly do followups off down or up throw without recovery lag then it'll be pretty solid damage. He wont be top tier of course no matter what given the roster I see, but we still need to play and find out what new followup options he has. As a ten year Dorfer main I can definitely say he looks a bit quicker on some stuff. I need to see how it chains to really tell whether he will work.

And again...increased rollspeed is in and it WILL make a difference on this character. He lived on it before and it being faster means he will get through easier than in brawl.

No worries! We can settle this on an online match come next month! :) lol

Honestly, I'm salty that Greninja, Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina, Dark Pit, Lucina, Robin, and Mii's got in over more deserving characters.

So you're trying to tell me that Ridley is even going to be denied to becoming an actual, proper boss character? That this boss, whom we know as a super active and dangerous boss in all the games he appears in, including Brawl, is literally going to be a tame kitten? Where all he does is just flap about, wave a bit, and maybe grab you a little if he feels like it? That this is what Sakurai has been teasing for well over a year?

Also, I don't recall intrusive stage hazards ever being a problem in the series. There's instakill spikes in the one vertically scrolling DK stage, there's cannons and storms in the background of the Pirate Ship, there's Pokemon that invert controls or turn the stage upside down or shoot high damage+knockback slashes onto the stage in Spear Pillar. And those aren't even "boss characters". Those are just regular stage hazard. And you mean to tell me that Ridley, a long-teased "boss character", will do virtually nothing.
Um... yes. Where did you get the implication from anything we've been told that he would be a proper boss character if non-playable? He was hinted at being a stage hazard, and stage hazards aren't as aggressive as bosses.

And don't misinterpret what I'm saying. I'm not arguing that he won't be playable or that that footage does not show playable Ridley. I'm just saying that the argument being made in that video is not compelling and requires more assumptions than stage hazard.

You're right that intrusive stage hazards have not been a big problem in the series. A lot of people didn't like Spear Pillar, though, and it looks like stages like Wily Castle, Gerudo Valley, and Unova Pokemon League have stage hazards that are far far more intrusive than what we've seen in past games. They take up too much of the stage.

Did people really think snake would be back? When was the last time he was on a Nintendo console again? It was always a stretch for him.

As a general rule, people don't expect cuts. But I agree, of all the veterans he always the least likely to return.

I already admitted above that I didn't know what I was thinking when I said that

(just to play along, maybe male Jiggly wants to get in touch with his feminine side?)

Duck Hunt Dog and Wii Fit Trainer are some of the best surprise characters outside of Mr. Game and Watch and R.O.B. Have no idea where all this hate comes from.
 
I will say that WFT and DH will probably be fun to play and are at least faithful to their series, unlike Ganondorf which is by far the most infuriating thing. Especially when they included Dr Mario as a way to please fans of classic Mario from s64/melee how hard would it be to include another newcomer/clone to take ganondorf's moveset while giving him something unique. Damn it sakurai

Melee and Project M say otherwise.


PM makes him one of the most satisfying characters to play in the entire series.


The potential is there, Sakurai just has an allergy to making certain characters not complete shit.

He was in Brawl. You make it sound like the people asking for snake were asking as if he's never been there. He was in the same position as he was in brawls inclusion.

I hate how people think his Nintendo appearances have anything to do with his non appearance in this smash.

Has jiggly ever been a dude in smash?

Brawl In The Family made such cute comics with her and kirby kind of liking each other in a childs girl and boy way I always saw Jig as a she. Also in the anime she seemed a girl too, and hats in smash have been masculine for pikachu (or at least unisex) and femenine for jiggly

I think they're awesome.

I am not sure what "more deserving" means though. Wii Fit got pretty big at one point.

And Dunk Hunt Dog is just awesome, like, everything he stands for lol.
