Granted, they would have had to come up with unique models and at least a few unique animations to give those characters "character." And record some more audio. Perhaps those things take up more time than making Dark Pit and Dr. Mario.

Oh it most certainly does. I actually like the current clone characters and game content.

It was more of a hypothetical "If there were no custom moves, then I think this could have been cool", but then it would just lead to people complaining about it being Super Smash Uprising.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Did they leave out Jigglypuff too?

Also, what do we think those extra modes are? Is Smash World like Mario Kart TV?

 

[JazzmanZ]

Split Palutena's specials between Palutena, Viridi, and Hades. Boom done

Spoiler

I would actually kind of like that

But then they have to create custom moves for those specials, and different hitboxes and values so they aren't all the same.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

But then they have to create custom moves for those specials, and different hitboxes and values so they aren't all the same.

Palutena already has 9 unique special moves, already worked out. We're talking about if those moves went to new characters instead.

 

[chaosblade]

Smash World sounds more like an equivalent to Smash Run.

I really hope Smash Wii U has something similar to MKTV. But better, because the execution of MKTV is terrible. Let us upload entire replays and not restrictive clips we can't even accurately choose!

 

[SmithnCo]

Viridi would've been cool just so we could have a Palutena clone with a different default moveset that is actually viable.

 

[emb]

At the time, Metroid and F-ZERO were just as "retro" as Mother.

Eh, F-Zero had a game come out just before Smash released. Maybe retro during early development, but they had to know he would be from a recent release by the time Smash was done.

Metroid, sure. It came out a little earlier than EB I think, and Mother 3 was maybe still hyped up as an actual thing for N64.

 

[Berordn]

a lighter, faster palutena with jump glide, heavenly light, celestial firework and angelic missile! would main.

and then hades can have the rest. and also inherit wolf's claw normals. cause why not.

 

[chaosblade]

The cancelled Metroid 64 was also a thing, it wasn't like Nintendo wasn't doing anything with the franchise during that era.

Oh yeah, I meant to wonder that in the other post. Do we actually know anything about it? Did it eventually become Metroid Prime, or was it totally different?

Totally different, I don't think it ever got beyond a concept/vertical slice phase because they weren't really sure what to do with it.

Captain Toad and Toadette need to be DLC. Don't care if there are already 500 Mario characters.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Captain Toad and Toadette need to be DLC. Don't care if there are already 500 Mario characters.

why not? IF people are going to says that they can't jump. Well, they could add platform under Toad and acting like a support for him to "jump"

 

[Polioliolio]

Nintendo is the Mario company first and foremost.

Mario deserves to have a billion characters.

Birdo, Wart, too, please.

lmao that would happen

 

[darkmagus]

Pic of the day. Unfortunately, I've been too busy working on developing the Wii U version that I haven't had a chance to play Home-Run Contest with my Global Smash Power turned on. So fighters, with the game now released worldwide, how are you faring with your home-run distance and Global Smash Power? I wonder if Ganondorf gives you some advantage.

the filler continues lol , and yeah Ganondorf is pretty good at Home-run contest

 

[J-Tier]

Is Captain Toad the Toad or is he a different character? Just curious.

And yes, I'd love Captain Toad +Toadette alt as playable.

 

[Polioliolio]

There is apparently no THE Toad.
.. But since Captain Toad is now a big deal, he may as well be.

 

[J-Tier]

I see. Captain Toad is a much better choice than "Toad" so I'm hoping it happens, however unlikely that may be.

 

[Berordn]

THE Toad eventually evolved into RED Toad in Sunshine who became CAPTAIN Toad in Galaxy.

And no amount of actual canon will convince me otherwise.

 

[Golnei]

Viridi would've been cool just so we could have a Palutena clone with a different default moveset that is actually viable.

In addition, having a Young Link-esque significant difference in fundamental properties would further help to differentiate her. It helps that she's also seen using most of the powers Palutena uses as specials during Uprising's Chaos Kin chapters.

Though all of the clones should have had different default specials, considering the lock on customisation in most solo modes and online. The custom moves were there already; I have no idea why they didn't take that cheap route to make Lucina and Dark Pit feel much more unique.

 

[Masked Man]

Captain Toad and Toadette need to be DLC. Don't care if there are already 500 Mario characters.

YES. I've been hoping for Toad in Smash for years, and Captain Toad is just too adorable to pass up. I can see a moveset now:

B - Pickaxe (whips out a pickaxe and strikes the opponent, a la G&W's Judgment)
Side B - Mine Cart (leaps into a mine cart and jettisons forward, like the Koopalings' Clown Kart)
Down B - Turnip Toss (pulls a turnip just like Peach, can be reserved for later)
Up B - Double Cherry (summons a double cherry to clone himself, then footstools his clone for a height boost)

Sakurai, make it happen!

Omg we have the same brain. That's the theory I subscribe to as well!

His B-Up should be the Toad Brigade Spaceship from Galaxy.

 

[NeonZ]

So Sakurai called the clones "free dessert"? Now watch him release a dlc with past clones in the future.

If we get DLC characters sold in packs rather than individually I really think we could get more clones.

His B-Up should be the Toad Brigade Spaceship from Galaxy.

That'd work better as a final Smash.

 

[Polioliolio]

I thought I'd really like Little Mac, but the way he runs around, and his voice (which sounds like a screaming anime character)... they barely seem representative of him in the games.

I know he has the general look of his Wii game counterpart, but he seems beefed up, and animates like he's straight out of Hajime no Ippo.

I'd take a touch more of this in my Mac please:

 

[chaosblade]

I still don't see how jumping would work with Captain Toad. The entire basis of Captain Toad as a character is that he can't jump. Remove the backpack so he can jump and he's just... Toad.

 

[OricWindstar]

Is it possible the 8 player Smash announcement clip could be referring to a tag team mode where each player gets two characters they can switch between?

 

[Shadow Hog]

I don't think I bothered posting yesterday's clean images, but that's okay, here they are alongside today's:

 

[Dimmle]

God, I love the Wii U trophy shop.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I still don't see how jumping would work with Captain Toad. The entire basis of Captain Toad as a character is that he can't jump. Remove the backpack so he can jump and he's just... Toad.

Simple. Have him jump through an outside source.

Make it work the same as a normal jump, but visually, say a "bounce pad" appears, or a spring pops out from his backpack.

 

[Golnei]

Any of those would work - personally, I also like the idea of having him use a cannon or mine cart. It shouldn't be any more disorienting than Bowser Jr.'s up-B in practice.

 

[J-Tier]

I would enjoy it if Captain Toad gets a moveset centered around being manipulated by the environment. Random platforms, levers and other mechanisms appearing that moves him around the stage.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Anyone see this?

In addition to the Tower of Smash mode being available. The 3DS is also getting a new mode when the Wii U Version comes out.

This mode will be called “ Smash World “

This mode will be a mode where players can challenge players around the world in various formats of smash battles. The thing that differentiates this mode from others is that this mode can level your play skills and match you with players around your same skill. More features include daily challenges that must be met! If you play Smash World every day of the week, each day you will earn a prize and each day the prize will get better! Prizes include NEW Mii accessories, Coins, Smash Points, and for great performances, special powerups in future Smash World matches!


In addition to this mode, there will be another two characters available first on the Nintendo Wii U for a limited time! Those who do not get those characters in the time given, will be able to purchase those characters in the eShop.

Also the Wii U and 3DS will be given a new feature! A “Shop” mode where players can buy various items with the coins and money achieved.

When players are given Impa, Ridley, Chorus Men, Dixie Kong, and Mewtwo, two more characters still remain available!

Those characters are Isaac from Golden Sun and Wonder-Red from Wonderful 101!

This Special DLC pack will be released in 2015 with the release of “Splatoon!”

A new ink blaster item will be added, a brand new Splatoon stage awaits your arrival! And maybe a special guest will appear to battle!

This all comes in Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo Wii U and 3DS!!

Posted 2 weeks ago, before the files had been fully ripped.

He got the "Smash World" thing, and that sounds like something they'd add, but the rest sounds ridiculous.

 

[chaosblade]

I'm going to guess it's a coincidence. None of these rumors sound remotely realistic.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

The Smash World part sounds moderately realistic. After that it dives off into crazy town

 

[ChrisD]

If only there were a real life trophy shop. Like Pokemon Centers in Japan, but for Smash Bros. instead.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I can't believe that rumor even if they added snake to it.

 

[Kinsei]

There are people on Miiverse that think the only reason Sakurai knows how good Ganondorf is in home run contest is because of GameXplain. I don't know what to say.

Anyone see this?

Why are you so selective with his posts? Let me add rest of his other posts.

am unable to credit my sources. If I say who gave this to me, I can get myself in trouble and him most likely fired and pressed charges. Nintendo is not lenient at all with this matter.

And I was given another piece of information today at work.

More characters are being developed! There is no set release date for the second DLC, but the man who spoke to me says it may very well be end of 2015 for Wii U and mid 2015 for 3DS. Obviously the Wii U will need more time but it shall be worth it

But the characters they are fiddling with are Ice Climbers, Phazon Suit Samus, Machamp( FOR POKKEN), Roy, Krystal, King K. Rool, The Hero from Code name S.T.E.A.M., Dr. Luigi, Urban Champion from Urban Champion, and Mach Rider from ExciteBike

Working testable models of the characters include Phazon Suit Samus, Roy, Krystal, and Dr. Luigi. Mach Rider, Ice Climbers, Hero, and King K. Rool are unstable. Urban Champion is still a thought and so is Machamp.

They also said 10 more stages are coming and more modes if needed. The also said the 3DS will most likely stop getting stages and modes if the game gets too big, but the characters will ALWAYS be constant through both games.

And I asked the man this, "I thought Krystal and others had a trophy in the game already"

He answered by saying "Just because there is a trophy doesn't mean they won't be playable."

Also Mario Kart 8 will get ExciteTrucks for racing!

The Mach Rider I was told was from Excitebike. The Mach Rider from Mach Rider is considered a different Mach Rider. The Mach Rider from Excitebike will most likely be called Mach Rider or Excite Man stated by the teams.
Panel de Pon was never considered. Bandana Dee lost a vote from 162/450

The characters that got in with the most votes were Shulk with 421/450, Dr. Mario with 407/450, Palutena with 443/450, Dark Pit with 399/450, and Duck Hunt Dog with 379/450

Characters that aren't in that got lots of votes are

Mewtwo with 437/450, Chrom with 415/450, Ridley with 349/450, Dr. Luigi with 213/450, Mach Rider with 394/450, King K. Rool with 388/450, Dixie Kong with 245/450, Impa with 434/450, Blaziken with 206/450, and Wolf with exactly 400/450.

Characters eliminated with less that 200 votes are the following

Cooking Mama with 156/450, Bandana Dee with 162/450, Rider with 38/450(HORRIBLE), Pangoro with 187/450, and Frogger with 111/450.

Characters with a PERFECT 450/450 are only two.

Little Mac reached 450/450 and so did Charizard as his own character with 450/450
Pac-Man came close with 447/450. Wii Fit Trainer also came close with 446/450

Some characters had immunity; the obvious Mario, Link, Pikachu, Kirby, etc.

I didn't get anything amusing to the ears today at work, but I did get something juicy.

Tournament mode will be BACK but only for the WIi U version. 3DS can participate but cannot start/edit/make any tournaments. They can only play as additional players in the bracket for the WII U VERSION ONLY!!

Ok let me get this straight
First of all I said Mach Rider from ExciteBike so I don't understand your false correctivity.
Second, The Wii U has more detail being, you know, HD AND ALL

And the development team is considering Ice Climbers being just Ice Climber as a seperate and having Nana be a alt costume. The final Smash and some moves would feature the duo preform together. The Wii U version would be the exact same.
And I never said I worked for the game.

So, you don't know what you are talking about. I have connections to them

And Cooking Mama was in fact considered but the vote to put her in was lost from 167/450 people.

The game itself has 49 characters
The Final Finale roster will consist of 65 characters
This will make the DLC characters have 16 fighters

The following are DLC FOR SURE COMING

Ridley
Mewtwo
Chorus Men
Dixie Kong
Impa
Isaac
Wonder-Red
Lucas

The following are the DLC being considered but most likely coming

Dr. Luigi (Mario series)
Urban Champion (Urban Champion Series)
Wolf (StarFox series)
Ice Climbers (Ice Climber series)
Mach Rider (ExciteBike series)
Solid Snake (Metal Gear series)
Galacta Knight (Kirby series)
Blaziken (Pokemon series)

No characters from any Pilotwings game. Sorry.

I also got an email from my buddy who gave me the information on a previous page. I can't show you the email for legal reasons. And give me crap for this, You'll feel pretty stupid when this does happen. So complain and hate all you want, you'll just come out looking like an idiot.

Now then...

More characters and DENIALS of previous characters. Apparently, I was lied to.

THE CHARACTERS FOR SURE ON THE Way are the following

Ridley, Impa, Choir Boys(NOT CHORUS MEN ANYMORE), Mewtwo, and Dixie Kong

Lucas and Wolf are eventually coming but not until early 2015.
Ice Climbers or Ice Climber are still being tested, so it may be 2015 before we get them or never. I asked, and right now they said Ice Climbers have a 10% percent chance in making it in. Sorry guys! The 3DS just can't handle 4 Ice Climber players at once on one screen.

Mach Rider, Solid Snake, Galacta Knight, Roy, and Machamp WERE ALL FAKES! THEY are INDEED NOT COMING! Bust out those Mii making skills people, you're going to need them for these guys..

Blaziken has been scrapped. He required too many moving abilities and it just wasn't working out.
Dr. Luig is INDEED Coming in any way shape or form!
They can't decide whether to make him an alt. for Luigi, or a separate character.

Isaac from Golden Sun is becoming a character! GET HYPE YALL!

Wonder - Red is just going to be an assist trophy now...may be featuring the rest of the gang too.

SO TO RECAP

FIGHTERS OFFICIALLY COMING AT SOME TIME ARE!!

Ridley, Impa, Choir Boys, Mewtwo, Isaac, Dixie Kong, Lucas, Wolf, and one more secret character I will reveal shortly.
The guy/woman(CANT SAY), does not work with stages! He is unable to leak any info about stages! Sorry!

ALSO! The Captain Toad rumor is indeed fake. He is not coming. Not even an assist.

Now the secret character

The characters from Splatoon!

The first DLC will be free. Call it DLC or whatever you want

Everyone knows this leak by now. Connect the 3DS to the WIi U and get additional stuff
Characters will be Mewtwo, Dixie Kong, Ridley, Choir Boys, and Impa.

SECOND DLC will be released March 2015
The characters are Lucas, Wolf, and hopefully Ice Climbers, if not Ice Climbers, then they will add Roy.

THIRD DLC will be when Splatoon! Releases! SAME DAY AND EVEYTHING!

The characters will be Isaac, SPLATOON GIRL AND BOY, and maybe Dr. Luigi or the Urban Champion.

The Splatoon Character(NAME UNKNOWN) is going to be one fighter. Similar to Robin, he and she will be able to have the same moves and everything. The only difference is that you can switch from different variations of the fighter. Also, the Squids will be enemies in Smash Run and we will get a stage of Splatoon!.
And that's ALL folks!

 

[Seiniyta]

that rumour if true would be interesting but I don't see it happening. I'd love to be horribly wrong however.

That aside, Amazon aside, anyone in europe managed to find a site that has the Smash Bros + Gamecube adapter bundle for pre-order? (and the smash controller as well)

 

[IntelliHeath]

Also I would like to mention that dataming happened before the fake leak got posted.

 

[TheSlySoul]

The Smash World part sounds moderately realistic. After that it dives off into crazy town

Plus there is an announcer clip saying "Smash World" so that is why it is the only plausible part.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I copied the text from Reddit, which is why I didn't get all that

It kind of sounds like the ramblings of a mad man

 

[Hatchtag]

Smash World isn't even the hardest term to come up with. Some rambling madman would guess it sooner or later.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Smash World isn't even the hardest term to come up with. Some rambling madman would guess it sooner or later.

Indeed. I am curious what the mode actually is. I wish POTD will have a point eventually.

 

[chaosblade]

Those quotes. Dude is off his rocker for sure.

 

[Zabuza]

Fake as hell.

 

[The Bankslammer]

Choir Boys(NOT CHORUS MEN ANYMORE)

uh... what? why? what? why can nobody get their damn name right?

also none of this makes any sense

 

[Spinluck]

Why are you so selective with his posts? Let me add rest of his other posts.

Oh look, more Smash Bros fan fiction.
