[Shyy_Guy595]

There's absolutely no reason not to include Shadow, Black Shadow/Blood Falcon, and Isabelle anymore. Heck, Dixie's chances are high, and even freaking Giygas as the cat thing or Pokey can be seen as likely now what with the Protags vs Antags bit at the end to foreshadow K. Rool.

And please let the hidden mode be Adventure Mode or something; I absolutely NEED that to finally be 100% sold on this game. I do think that's gonna be the one that allows you to quickly unlock the characters though.

 

[Cosmic77]

I'll have to see more of Chrom, but if most of his moveset copies Roy's, then that was a mind-numbingly stupid decision on the development team's end. This means we now have four FE characters who share a similar moveset, making more than half of the seven characters copies of some sort. If you ain't good with one, then don't fret. You have three others to choose from.

I don't know. Just really wished we would've got more diversity with Chrom and FE as a whole.

 

[New_Dumal]

it seems that Echos are characters they don't develop new moves to include.
Dixie can have Dk's UpB, DownB (with his har). Lucas grabs with her hair again, some/most of Diddy moves.
They can even make she have Dk Fair, but the animation be his guitar. I'm quite positive on her now.

 

[92MilesPrower]

After over a week of "being in hiding," I return. Explanation for where I've been, what I've been doing, etc. will be saved for another time.

Because NOW'S THE TIME TO FREAK OUT

IS THIS REAL LIFE? CAUSE THIS SURE AS HELL FEELS LIKE A DREAM, AND I NEED PHOTOS OF SPIDER-MAN THIS GAME NOW.

 

[Mutsukki]

So Sakurai said the monster hunter monster was a boss. A boss for what? Perhaps the blurred out mode? Could it be... an adventure mode?

Maybe, but I'm very positive that that stage was a Monster Hunter stage... at least it looked terribly like one.

But it was also pretty generic so who knows

 

[fogbadge]

im now convinced sakurai can read my mind and hates me

why belmont? from what ive seen of the community he wasnt that in demand and why should castlevania be the first third party series to get a second fighter? dont know why i ever believed him when he wouldnt add third party characters willy nilly

and once again the fire emblem characters our number the zelda characters that just is not fair

wont even bother unlocking everyone

a least k.rool's final smash is cool

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Ha... hahaha... HAHAHA... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
...
Oh... DaybreakHorizon , I'm so sorry. XD

I'm too tired for this ****.

I'm gonna go to bed and pick my work back up when I wake up.

I'm also going to be updating my prediction roster, so look forward to that.

Also I'm calling it now that we're having another story mode. With them revealing Rathalos and Dracula as bosses I'm suspicious. That blurred out icon on the menu doesn't help things either.

Could anyone take care of that?

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Everyone was complaining that a 3rd party series doesn't deserve two reps


Well then bloody tell me how the **** Castlevania got TWO reps revealed in one day then?

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

I thought K.Rool had no hope. I guess I was wrong about that. I also think we saw every stage if you do the math (103 icons on the stage select screen, 103 stages we were told are in the game) which raises the question on which stage does the Monster Hunter boss appear since it would seem to be "none of those"...?

 

[kylexv]

I'm pretty sure this means they changed Roy's Up B, but we'll see.

 

[Zinith]

Yeah, my first thought was " Zinith isn't going to be happy."

I can confirm that is the case

Although I'm glad for the fans that got what they wanted, especially the DK fans

 

[Knight Dude]

I wanted to wait until I saw the whole thing before I talked about it. HOLY **** THIS GAME KEEPS ON DELIVERING!!! I'm hyped up now. You just know there's gonna be crazy reaction videos.

1. Simon Belmont: Glad he's in, looks pretty interesting. Glad he has the Conan look.
2. HOLY **** RICHTER IS A CLONE OF HIM?! Never would have guessed that. I might use him over Simon. I don't know.
3. Over 30 Castlevania songs? That's crazy, but I'm not complaining a bit.
4. Alucard makes sense as the Assist character.
5. All those bosses in Drac's Castle and it looks like the Kid Dracula is gonna be there too.
6. Dark Samus is in!!! I'm happy about that too! I didn't know she was highly requested, I thought there were only dozens of us.
7. Happy for the Chrom fans. Viridi and Palutena BTFO.
8. Stages but without the hazards is the best thing ever. Seriously.
9. All stages being able to share their music based on series is cool.
10. Our boy Kraid is finally in HD.
11. Over 100 stages and 800 songs is insane.
12. Transition stages was a really neat thing I was NOT expecting. Glad that was kept secret.
13. Squad Strike is basically Tekken's team battle mode and I'm VERY happy its in this game too.
14. Training mode has some depth to how it displays info.
15. FINAL SMASH METER!!! It's too cool, too clean, DON'T BAN IT YOU COWARDS!
16. CENTRAL HIGHWAY!!! We Mega Man X BOYZ now.
17. Zero's an Assist Trophy, but that makes sense, and JYB is voicing him again.
18. RIP Ashley's fans I guess.
19. SHOVEL KNIGHT! That's clean. He's made to the big time guys.
20. King K. Rool is finally real. Dedede got DEDEDESTROYED for that fake out.

This game is gonna be sick.

 

[FantasyBlade]

Also, did I misinterpret, or is there a Monster Hunter stage to go along with Rathalos? They didn't actually say there was a Monster Hunter stage during the direct I believe, but they did show off a stage with Rathalos.

 

[Zeox]

and even freaking Giygas as the cat thing or Pokey

Giygas would be cool but if he is in, I don't think he would be an echo of Mewtwo like a lot of people say... mostly because, at least for now, echoes has been of the same franchise.

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

I'm honestly 100% expecting Ken, Shadow and maybe even Jeanne now, the floodgates for 3rd party echoes are wide open

What a uplifiting surprise. The lesson is to always believe in your dreams even in the hardest of times.
We finally got a Dk newcomer, and I also think Dixie is kinda of hinted at the end.
The fact that Chrom uses Marth moves but Ike's UpB skyrockets Dixie's chances.

How is she hinted at? If she was an echo she'd have been shown now, she's either not playable or a unique character in my mind

 

[Will]

Also, a conspiracy.
Why did Luigi have a plunger gun for the Poltergust in Simon's trailer? We sure as hell didn't have that in Linguini's Monsoon. But do you know who does?

Get your tinfoil ready, lads.

 

[Radical Bones]

With the mystery surrounding Dracula and the MH boss, I'm predicting a new story/adventure mode where you go through a stage and then fight a boss at the end.

 

[KingIceSonic]

Pleasently surprised to say the least. Was only expecting Simon and no one else. Glad to see K Rool, Chrom, and Dark Samus in. Just hope this doesn't reduce Dixie Kong's chances.

How was she hinted? Did I miss something?

 

[N3ON]

Guys, I can't believe Mario & Luigi are ****ing dead.

I know, who's gonna to be in the Geno trailer now?!

 

[Yonder]

Everyone was complaining that a 3rd party series doesn't deserve two reps


Well then bloody tell me how the **** Castlevania got TWO reps revealed in one day then?

Basically locks in Shadow and Ken, at the very least.

Idk who Richter is btw..

 

[JustCallMeJon]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

WTF THERE IS A DRAGON BALL Z REFERENCE IN KING K ROOL TRAILER WTF WTF!!

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Wait until Sakurai announces a Jeanne echo for Bayonetta and everyone kills him as dead as they killed Mario and Luigi.

 

[NeonBurrito]

I am very happy with what we got today. I am glad King K. Rool and Simon Belmont are in, they were both some of my most wanted.

 

[WaxPython]

To be fair I did say a couple of weeks ago Chrom and Simon Belmont are guranteed so I wasn't shocked.

Doesn't mean I'm not happy to see them far from it.

I found it interesting Simon uses Richter's moveset from the games. Richter is in canon the most powerful Belmont.

I'm sad that Alucard is a mere assist trophy he would have been great DLC.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Okay but why is Chrom an Echo? Now he's questioning what an Echo even is at this point.
Is he just an Echo of no particular character but of Fire Emblem itself? Let's count here:

- Roy's Neutral Special
- Marthcinoy's Side Special
- Ike's up special
- Counter (literally everyone except robin)

Viridi gets an excuse to mock him even more now that he’s a copy of someone else

 

[Curious Villager]

Is this a reference/jab to that one fake Chrom leak from the Smash 4 day's?

 

[Pyra]

I also think we saw every stage if you do the math (103 icons on the stage select screen, 103 stages we were told are in the game) which raises the question on which stage does the Monster Hunter boss appear since it would seem to be "none of those"...?

Adventure Mode?

 

[Radical Bones]

We now live in a world where Metroid has 4 playable characters.

Peace at last.

EDIT: LOL three of them have Samus in their name.

 

[MainJPW]

Guys, I can't believe Mario & Luigi are ****ing dead.

At least they can see each other again. Too soon?

****IN' RIP.

 

[JustCallMeJon]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

OMG A DBZS REFERENCE NOOOOO!

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Mood right now:

 

[Darkraid]

Ritcher Belment broke the ''no 3rd party echo'' rule.

it was a BS rule to begin with.

SHADOW...

I am telling you guys, Chrom wasn't shown in Robin's FS, Dark Samus wasn't Samus's alt.

Shadow is IN guys.

 

[ErenJager]

I avoided all spoilers, so happy.
Way for the direct to jump right into it.

Simon Belmont confirmed along with a Richter Belmont echo. Everything Castlevania related looks amazing.

Surprised Dark Samus is an echo.

Not surprised About Chrom.

Not surprised Mimickyu is an assist, nor am I disappointed.

Indifferent to Ashley being an assist.

Shovel Knight being featured as an AT bothers me, I don't think he deserves it. Glad he isnt playable though.

Super pumped about King K. Rool.

Third party characters get echoes.. I feel Shadow for Sonic and Ken for Ryu are likely to happen now.

Squad Strike and Classic mode look awesome.

Monster Hunter content has my eyebrow raised for a possible character.

Pretty sure that hidden mode.... Might be... Adventure esk.

Ditto and klamptrap are awesome.

Smash gauge is awesome.

 

[PeridotGX]

Mario - Bowser
Link - Ganondorf
Pikachu - Mewtwo
Kirby - Dedede
Fox - Wolf
Samus - Ridley
DK - K. Rool

Yoshi - ?

Kamek basically confirmed

 

[Roberk]

It's been 17 years, FE finally got an item. It's another sword.

 

[drag0nscythe]

Roy's up special could have been tweaked people. We do not know what it is.

Shame for ashely, but given what we got.!!!!

HYPE.

 

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

The Gangplank Galleon has FINALLY arrived and anchored in Smash!

A monumental occasion for the whole Donkey Kong Country Series, his inclusion is so much more than just another character getting in and no doubt is going to have more ramifications on the franchise.

Absolutely rapt, what an absolutely glorious showing!

Commiserations to the disconfirmations, K. Rool is living, breathing, scaly proof that anything can happen!

 

[WaxPython]

I reckon the censored gameode is Adventure mode they just don't have a name for it yet.

 

[FantasyBlade]

So, it seems like the main trend for newcomers thus far is fan wish-fulfillment. With that in mind, who do you all think could be left? Geno, or Isaac maybe?

 

[drag0nscythe]

Do we think we have all the stages? or will there be more?
