ill admit I chuckled

Now... That Yoshi pose... Was the first sign of Ryu coming to smash?

The more obvious sign was the shoryouken that miis do in smash tour

Ultimate uppercut too.

Who's ultimate uppercut?

? (i'm actually surprised by the quantity of people that have uppercuts in these game)

 

[Sabrewulf238]

clone 1 =
clone 2 =

he asked who is clone 3.

Clone 3 is wearing a Marth wig.

Brawler neutral b custom

Basically a chargeable shoryouken.

 

[DJ3DS]

Ok theres some news

Shovel knight is going to become a japanese game as well now

That might get sovel knight an atvantage in the ballot.

I doubt it - seems like too little, too late to have any chance of even slightly impacting overall Japanese voting habits.

 

[Champ Gold]

Smash has so many Street Fighter references that it's not surprising.


Up B is similar to Chun-Li's Tenshoyken

in general

Is like a much more aggressive Mario aka Evil Ryu

Heck then there's Street Foghter references in other Nintendo games

 

[Kenith]

Since you guys were talking about Castlevania a couple pages back, I have to ask...
Wouldn't the most recognizable and recurring character in the series not be Simon Belmont...
But Dracula himself?

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed Yoshi's victory pose.

Every time I see it I'm honestly expecting to see this flash on his back:

Then I bring Starfy to the table. Europe likes cutesy unlike NA. Starfy was released in NA but not Europe

What point are you exactly trying to prove now?

In Smash 4, Roy.

I point to this post:

clone 1 =
clone 2 =

he asked who is clone 3.

That's only 2 clones.
Who is clone 3?

 

[TKactual]

That's only 2 clones.
Who is clone 3?

I believe they have been trying to say that marth lucina and Roy are all clones of each other which would lead them to 3 clones, but technically lucina and Roy are clones of marth, but we still do have 3 characters with movesets that resemble eachother therefore 3....... I think.

 

[Deleted member]

I don't think this is going to happen though.

That's also a very Capcom-y move.

I don't think Nintendo is above nickel and diming their customers. Pokémon Shuffle is proof of that.

But that's not the only reason why I feel we could see "Smash 6" as Super Smash Bros. NX.

Now I want to hear Yoshi say "Die one thousand deaths!" in that squeaky voice of his.

Even though "Smash 6" was listed for Wii U and 3DS.

By the time of Smash 5 XCX is gonna be old news~

Then by that very logic, Splatoon will also be old news. I guess we won't have a Splatoon character in Smash 5.

By the time Smash 5 begins development (assuming it comes out in 5-6 years), XCX will still be relatively new.

Yes but splatoon is online multiplayer based, people will continue playing it for a long while.

 

[Bowserlick]

So we are going to have Marth (tipper), Lyn (aller) and Roy (baser) to incorporate all the strength points of a sword: Tip, even blade, and base.

Hmmm... I think they can stop with Marth clones after this. They are running out of blades.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Mii Brawler's Onslaught is "Instantaneous Hundred Rending Legs" in Japan, which is referencing quite directly to Chun-Li's Hyakuretsukyaku ("Hundred Rending Legs").

But yeah, this game puts plenty love to SF.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Whatever happened to @Bob Bills poll anyway?

Lyn? Don't you mean Lucina?

Well that depends... if the game isn't good, it will be left in the abyss

So... Lets wait and see what Nintendo brings

Difference being Elma doesn't have much if any popularity now, so several years in the future, she's not suddenly going to get that much more.

Second, the Xenoblade series is either going to go dormant after XCX, meaning it'd only have two games, making it unlikely to get another character, or it will get a new game, presumably with a new cast, making it unlikely we get Elma. On the other hand, Splatoon, which seems like Nintendo is aiming to make a series, will probably always have Inklings as its protagonists.

Unless she becomes a meme (that's the easiest way to make someone popular)

Inklings will be the Nintendo FPS Miis

 

[Senatiator]

Not sure what you're getting at.

Yoshi has been doing that pose since the first Super Smash Bros game. If anything people should be getting Yoshi flashbacks every time when Akuma imitates Yoshi's pose.

 

[Bowserlick]

Lyn? Don't you mean Lucina?

Yes. That is the one.

I understand not changing Mewtwo's moveset in terms of actual move changes other than slight animation adjustments. The playstyle was just made to work and I have to say, Mewtwo (and all the characters) really seem to flow and just pop out more this time around.

And I understand the same with Lucas. Falco and Ganondorf in Brawl were changed enough to not be just a simple stat adjustment. Lucas was created with move changes baked into his build.

However, Roy could be different. If he were to have returned in Brawl, he might have had a different special or other adjustments like Falco and Ganondorf. If his base-of-the-sword-hitting-harder mechanic is kept, I think having a leaping slash (like Link's dash) would help his playstyle revolve around getting his playstyle to work.

Also, perhaps his eruption can have a vacuum effect such as Ganondorf's up tilt. Also, having tilts and moves that either include Roy stepping back or stepping forward can slide the odds in his favor to connecting the base.

Yeah but Akuma predates Smash Bros by 5 years

Akuma predates Smash yo

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Yep, the US hates Cutesy stuff.

That's why we have in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

You.... kinda need to get some data if you're gonna make that claim. Because I could make the counter argument of Tingle's Rosy Ruppeeland which was never released in the US but came out in Europe which is far from cutesy.

Pikachu is the mascot of the second best selling franchise, and the trope name 'Americans hate Tingle' is enough. Starfy was mentioned there iirc

Pretty much how I see it.

I don't think Roy is going to be full Melee clone or there would be little reason to bring him back. I'd imagine he go through the same kind of evolution as fellow Melee clones Ganondorf and Falco (and technically Dr. Mario, but that's more because Mario had changes).
I can see Flare Blade being altered to be a ranged attack like in his home game, for example.

FE translations, should try some out
After remembering Roy was cut from Brawl I realized something. This means he could be a semi clone

Pikachu is an icon and people love him because h s cute and cool. People hate Tingle for same reason why people were turned off of characters like Jar-Jar (coming from a guy who never liked Star Wars at all), he was annoying piece of crap and acts like a flaming

[Cutie Gwen]

Roy being a semi clone is much more of a deal than you'd think, Roy's fans will be pleased and casuals will think he's a cool new unique fighter, as would a casual player want to buy a rather unique character, or one that's a cookie-cutter clone? Given his FE stats he's still a ****-lord to many. Wait, did I just?

Hardcore Roy fans might not be too totally happy, however. I get the impression that a lot of Falco fans, the ones who played him in Melee at least, weren't exactly happy with the changes to his character in Brawl. In fact, the desire to recreate Melee Falco in Brawl through modding is what led us to Project M, apparently.

I believe Roy would get some buffs, and I think fans should be happy their character is returning

Of course she's currently not popular among the gaming community, the game isn't even out yet (though she's pretty popular in the Xenoblade forums/threads at GameFAQs and NeoGAF).

By the time a hypothetical new Xenoblade game comes out, none of the characters from the hypothetical new cast will be considered for Smash 5. The Smash roster is determined at the beginning of development, which could be a couple years before the next Xenoblade game comes out. (I hope what I'm saying makes sense since English is not my primary language).

I certainly hope the series doesn't become dormant, but I doubt it will because it seems like it will at least be moderately successful. I can imagine it becoming the next Fire Emblem, but we'll see.

I agree. Like Super Mario Galaxy/2 is relatively new, too imo......but even newer.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

(Looks at all the music in Super Mario Galaxy/2. Sees "A Fated Battle".) Yes! We got the awesome final battle theme! (Listen's to the song. My reaction thirty minutes in is: ) What the heck is this?!? Why did we get "A Fated Battle" over "A Final Battle With Bowser"!!!!!! (sighs) If we ever get music as DLC I hope it's "A Final Battle With Bowser", the Purple Commet music, and "Alternate Route" (Koopa's Road Remix)

But enough of my grievances of music that nobody cares about. I wonder. If you could pick a Pokémon that isn't Sceptile, Zoruark, or a veteran, who would you pick? (I say no Sceptile or Zoruark because I don't want that to be the only two answers. )
