Character Discussion Thread

Where is the archives area

I mean im wondering if all of the confirmed character forums are going there as well.

So was there ever a reason for Yoshi interrupting the Mario franchise? Was it just because they felt like it?

It's because Yoshi and Mario are best buddies!

Well there were parts of the Treehouse stream that I liked.

The pixel art hanging on the walls, for example.
..oh, regarding SSB.

I liked some of the matchups.
Pacman vs pacman-colored Kirby. Although it dragged on for a while, twas entertaining to watch.
Pit vs Palutena: Pretty entertaining as well. What I got from this is that Palutena's edgeguard = Goddess-like.

And the whole customization thingy that allows SO many variations.
Seriously, this has GOT to be a thing in tournaments somehow. Even if it's just for FINALS!

 

[Oz37]

Actually... I enjoyed the stream... >_>

It was nice just to get to see some gameplay with official commentary. In fact, my hype diminished considerably since seeing the streams the other night simply out of the sense of the game not having as much content (fast/easy unlocks, no event mode, etc). However, it was the the NoA stream that got my hype back up with all of the customizable content they showed.

I had no real investment in the customization til now. It had always been "ah, cool, custom stuff, whatevs", but I'm genuinely excited to create various builds of characters (Sparky and Peachbomber were my favs in the stream). I'm REALLY excited to go through the different modes hunting for custom parts, as well.

Did you guys see the ice climbers trophy yet?

 

[Ffamran]

Did you guys see the ice climbers trophy yet?

Damn. And they didn't even use their NES sprites.

I think we should get rid of the theory that trophies= no DLC. IF we even get DLC I figure its fair game.

 

[MagnesD3]

You guys are silly if you think trophys disconfirm the cut characters as dlc. If anything they are more likely since they have a trophy proving their worth.

So, I'm assuming you're on the "bargaining" stage, now?

I'm really in between both of you. I agree being a trophy doesn't mean that the character can't be re added via DLC, but that doesn't mean I think they will be added via DLC.

Guys believe in the DLC!

Mine was a joke so... I just don't care who gets in and who doesn't. I'll be excited if it's someone I like, but it's not a huge deal if someone doesn't get in, but I am disappointed that the Ice Climbers didn't return since the have history and Wolf because he has a unique normal and smash set with a modified Special set.

Snake's an iffy character due to third-party status along with Metal Gear becoming a much darker series and Lucas suffers from the Mother/EarthBound main characters behaving similarly in combat. That being said, Lucas can be unique and Solid Snake isn't the demon Big Boss became.

I'm glad people actually remember Pokémon Trainer. :,)

10 Characters (12 if we want to be technical) that have been cut...

I swear, Pokémon Trainer should be brought back, sporting movesets from the cut Pokémon (+ Charmander) somehow.
Popo having a SPECIAL that calls Nana temporarily (like RosaLuma)// attacking at the exact same time as Popo.
Mewtwo, Lucas, and Wolf are pretty self explanatory.

 

[MunchyMunch]

Man Sakurai is trying his best to hit us where it hurts. He is literally teasing us

I could understand them being Assists, but just a bloody trophy, that hurts man.

And having the Polar Bear as an enemy in Smash Bros, just pours salt on the wound.

 

[LordJackal]

Polar Bear confirmed playable for SSB5.

Polar Bear confirmed Banned Tier. Too stronk; pls nerf.

I wish would return. But with the removal of transformations, I doubt he'll ever come back. Squirtle and Ivysaur would probably have to be their own this time. Which isn't a bad thing, but I really liked switching between the three.

 

[MunchyMunch]

He's way too cool.


WOW THAT WAS TERRIBLE

I don't know if this was pointed out before, but when I was fooling with custom moves, when it asked me to "Select my player" Lucina was next to Shulk on the bottom row. I don't if that means anything, but I found it interesting that she can go down there.

Yeah, they put the clones down at the bottom instead of with their franchises.

 

[MunchyMunch]

Apparently, Ness stole Luca's ability for PK Thunder to go through enemies, since it's a custom move.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fox or Falco got a move where their side B went at a STUPID ANGLE THAT NEVER HITS ANYTHING WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT SAKURAI

 

[The Light Music Club]

No. I meant after all characters are unlocked. Lucina in the custom moves thing accidentally moved down next to Shulk with the 3rd parties. Next time, she was back with the clones. The CSS can still move.

Interesting. I wonder if the game has a few little bugs like that?

Also, just curious, did that day one patch take effect yet?

 

[MunchyMunch]

But they MUST be planning some DLC characters. The other Smash games besides Melee had a full rectangle shape, this one obviously has 6 slots left, (Just like Mario Kart) Melee used its empty spots as Random spaces, and This game already has an entire spot dedicated to randomizing characters.

Wolf Flash seems more like an anti-air approach, escape, and recovery move and it's obviously not going to work like Fox Illusion and Falco Phantasm. Personally, I like it even though it's a bit more situational.

I mean, that's part of why it sucks to lose Wolf. He has fairly unique.

Whale whale. The plot thickens.

Also the current CSS has room for 4 characters, not 6.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Question on the Ice Climber trophy since I have yet to get it and I can't read Japanese. What is the description for it?

 

[MunchyMunch]

It looks like 3 characters could fit on both sides.

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

....ok, I have no words.

 

[LordJackal]

Have we seen a Ridley trophy yet?

 

[Xzsmmc]

No, but there will inevitably be one revealed soon.

Honestly, there's not gonna be any DLC. We'll just have to accept what we got. You may say that's bad marketing, but they literally revealed Pac-Man behind closed doors via liveblog. And they know everyone's gonna buy the Wii U version anyway.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Something just feels off though. I think that with Yoshi being where he is, and the fact Lucina moves down by accident in custom mode, makes me think there were multiple characters that went unfinished. But that's just me.

 

[GamerGuy09]

Ridley and Bandana Dee confirmed DLC, no one has found them yet.

 

[MunchyMunch]

But I can't wait another 7 years.

A lot of things seem rushed. Such as half the stages being past ones, all the weird roster choices, RAYMAN appearing for no reason. It seems Sakurai was planning more for this game. There's gotta be an ace somewhere up that sleeve.

 

[Loungemen]

No Dixie
No KRool
No Chorus Men
No Ice Climbers
No Wolf
No Mewtwo
Dr. Mario
Dark Pit

I'm starting to question Sakurai's mindset, here

 

[GamerGuy09]

The list is dwindling.

Bandana Dee and Ridley are still not shown as Trophies.

Dixie Deconfirmed

KRool Deconfirmed

MewTwo Deconfirmed

Ice Climbers, Wolf, Pichu all deconfirmed.

Lucas is unknown.

Chorus Kids Deconfirmed

Bandana Dee and Ridley and Isaac will happen.

 

[MunchyMunch]

No Dixie
No KRool
No Chorus Men
No Ice Climbers

Dark Pit

Sakurai is Master Hand.

He pushes those ones over to the side, and then paints one of his Pit figures black. Then he gets Dr. Mario out the bin.
