Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments

And control it with the touchpad.

A hazard controlling mode would actually have some hilarious potential.
I think we went over such a thing was back in the old speculation threads, the gamepad user being an omnipotent bringer of screw jobs and such would actually be an amusing side mode.

So in light of Marth getting his most current design, anyone think we might see Radiant Dawn's version of Ike in this game?
That look would further suit his SSB style of being a power character, though I expect they'd just leave him the same for consistency sake, I'm fine either way as long as he returns.
 
Really? They used PBR models for Brawl?

Anyways, GF already have models for all Pokemon that are scalable and should be usable in Smash.

Whoa, where is this from?

If a Pokemon game used the outline-less art style of the top animation I'd buy fifty.
 
Guy's its literally the X and Y model but without the cel shading, they showed it in a presentation at E3 in a roundtable.
 
One final roster update. This is going to be my last one for a while — I promise.

For the time being, I'm just going to go ahead and assume everything about the Sal Romano rumor is legitimate (mainly because I want it to be). I just don't see why an anonymous source would accurately identify three newcomers and then make the rest up.
 
EDIT: Whipped up a what-if roster, might make a graphic later. Keep in mind I am in absolutely no way biased at all.

Mario | Luigi | Peach | Rosalina | Yoshi | Donkey Kong | Bowser | Wario
Link | Zelda | Ganondorf | Toon Link | Impa | Samus | Prime Hunter* | Pit | Takamaru
Kirby | Meta Knight | King Dedede | Fox | Falco | Wolf | Marth | New FE Rep
Little Mac | Ice Climbers | Ness | Captain Falcon | Villager | Olimar | Mii | Wii Fit Trainer
Pokemon Trainer | Pikachu | Jigglypuff | Mewtwo | Lucario | Sylveon
Mr. Game & Watch | R.O.B. | Pac-Man | Mega Man | Snake | Sonic

*I feel like the most likely Metroid newcomer is either going to be a Corruption hunter or one of the dudes from Metroid Prime: Hunters, I just don't know which. Sylux, Weavel or Noxus, probably.
 
I'm pretty sure we'll get Radiant Dawn Ike since characters like Marth, Samus, and Villager are based on their Wii/DS designs.
 
An interesting thought came to mind as I was making my roster, what is the thought process behind each background colour. Now most are obviously just their outfit; Mario = red, Luigi = green, but some are a little less obvious. For example Fox's is blue and yet his outfit doesn't have a trace of that colour. I'm guessing it is actually a reference to the wing colour of the Arwings.

I can't think of a good reason behind Olimar's, Villager's, Samus' and Pit's. I can only guess the first two are a reference to the amount of foliage is in their games, Samus' is dark for space and Pit's is for the sky much like the cover art for Uprising.

Villager does tree stuff and Pikmin are lime-flavored.

Man, it'd be really shitty if KI got 2 reps before Metroid.

Sakurai considers Zero Suit Samus a separate character, so Metroid technically already has two reps. Also, Kid Icarus is filled with characters suited for Smash Bros., whereas Metroid is really all about Samus and a bunch of giant alien monsters.

Damn that looks way cooler than how x and y actually look.
These were shown during the E3 round table discussion for Pokemon XY.

XY uses two-tone shading and the models obviously don't look as it does there due to the lower power of the 3DS and resolution of the screen.
 
Metroid already has two though
:3

but Metroid already got two reps :P

But if we get Palutena that means we can probably get a screenshot of Palutena and Zero Suit Samus by Sakurai!

Yeah I know there's ZSS, but I've always seen her as more of a transformation than an entirely different rep. I know getting another good character out of Metroid would be hard, but as discussed, there's Ridley. KI only has 1 game in the same period that Metroid has like 8. It would be really unfortunate to see it get snubbed again.
 
I really want a non-Ice Climbers humanoid ice-elemental fighter in Smash Bros. We've got Sub-Zero, Glacius... every one of the greats has an ice fighter.

in Metroid alone there's Noxus, Rundas and Anthony Higgs. Given Sakurai's current history of weird newcomer shit I'd love for Higgs to be a secret unlockable. Plus, if we're going by tenure (and include retcons), Higgs is actually the oldest non-enemy Metroid rep, dating back to Super Metroid just before the Kraid fight. It could set up an interesting dynamic where Samus wants revenge against Ridley and Higgs wants to settle the score with Kraid.

"ANTHONY HIGGS rings a bell!"

KI got a game from the person that made Smash Bros.

I imagine number of games is not the thing leading his judgment.
 
Marth's Awakening design is really just Lucina with shorter hair. It is awful.

Wait, what's this about Higgs and Super Metroid?
 
Sakamoto would totally foreshadow a character 15 years ahead of time!

He wouldn't.
I guess Anthony also miraculously survived and got off the planet somehow before it exploded even though there were no other functional crafts on Zebes, and then never mentioned any of this to Samus, his close friend, when they saw each other again on the Bottleship.

Still makes more sense than Other M's actual plot, I guess.
 
Haven't played WarioWare in forever, but wouldn't Mona be the most logical character that gets to be the Wario series' second rep? She seems to have the biggest role aside from Wario if I recall correctly.
