[Mario & Sonic Guy]

So far it's her default blue, teal green-ish, yellow, and pink colors

If only someone could post a closer view of the palette swaps. I guess that'll just have to wait until Smash-Fest.

 

[Maxilian]

@ Maxilian : It's hard to see, but I'm noticing that Rosalina is wearing something yellow. It seems that one of her palette swap colors is yellow for this game.

Yep, is just as @CrusherMania1592 said, the colors options are teal green-ish, yellow, and pink colors

If people are interested in watching, videos are consistently being uploaded here: http://ssb4dojo.com/gameplay

Random people playing random characters, the game looks great so far.

EDIT: Sonic's final smash is still broken as all geddout, btw.

EDIT2: the third video down seems to have the stage list for the WiiU demo.

 

[Rockaphin]

Tingle and Shadow confirmed as assist trophies.
Sorry if ninja'd.

Villager's jab is g0d-liek, but his or her F-Smash looks horrendous as of now. Slow with no range. However, Villager seems like a good edge guarder.

Splatoon Inkling for Smash

 

[Starbound]

Rosalina kinda looks disappointing but I think that's because no one is really bothering with Luma so she isn't really being used at her full potential.

Also Greninja looks really fast. Getting some serious Melee Sheik de ja vu here.

 

[Cobalsh]

So, is that it for tonight?

 

[ultimatekoopa]

What does everyone think about Dark Pit? He is in both Palutena trailer and artwork, he will probably play a bigger role that I expected

 

[Andinus]

The only thing I'm not terribly fond of regarding Miis is that there are three of them. Three separate developments, it takes a lot of time that could have been taken away from other characters. I'm sure they'll receive a lot of blame if the roster is smaller than expected, or even if certain characters don't make the cut that were expected.

That being said, they look fun to play, and I almost guarantee everybody will like at least one of the three styles.

I don't think it's about 3 on screen choices, it's probably something you customize beforehand and then select the mii icon, I'm thinking, I'm hoping actually..

I'm really hoping he's nothing more but an alt color. I dunno why people haven't checked his colors out yet :/

Pretty much this. We won't have any idea how good Rosalina is 'til we get our hands on her in training mode. I'd imagine if you're good at controlling space, Rosalina's going to be slick as hell.

I know for a fact no one was this hyped about Miis :

Seriously, did no one else make a reaction video? I want to see other peoples.

There's plenty on youtube, here's my favorite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y00e67T3HP4

I actually like the Miis.....

I think what can be done with them as far as creating celebrities and other goofy stuff will certainly have the potential to bring a bit of humor from another angle to the game.

I don't mean to say I think they're 3 slots. I don't even believe in the concept of slots, particularly. What I mean is that all three of them are different from each other. It's like Pokemon Trainer, all three of them took their own individual time to balance and develop, even if the overall plan was to have them together. The fear is that the development team took extra time creating three models of one character instead of three separate entities that might have provided a wider variety.

I've been quite sold on Miis, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't allay that fear; that idea that perhaps we could see the loss of other possible characters, especially veterans, because the resources in development were used elsewhere.

 

[UltimateWario]

So, anyone else think that this Smash has, by far, the worst announcer yet?

Relevant because he makes the characters' names sound awful.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. Found it on a Press Release Flickr account.

[Rockaphin]

I know you all are ready for the tournament, and I'ma let you finish. . .
But Villager is the best character of all time. OF ALL TIME!

 

[Sausage Zeldas]

I think Reggie will win.

 

[Cobalsh]

Sakurai? In person? Hmm.

 

[Niala]

Sakurai? In person? Hmm.

I was quite pleasantly surprised as well.

P.s. Samus confirmed S+ tier.

Watch him bust out with Ridley and Ganondorf at the end of the tourney and school everyone else.

The... the Mario Kart zap thing?

 

[False Sense]

Zero Suit Samus' Final Smash looks a lot like Snake's...

 

[Sausage Zeldas]

And here we have ZSS Final Smash.
Unless I'm late to that party.

And here we have it many, many times.


"Wii Fit Trainer gets the maximum potato!"

I missed ten minutes. What did Mario do?

He seems to be back with his killer combos.

Mario... in Smash Brothers..? No... never...

 

[Rockaphin]

I meant he seems to be a combo heavy character like in Melee.
"seems"

Gematsu leak:

Hey, guys.

Funny that this page is talking about a new e-mail, because that's exactly why I'm here. Received one last night, but missed it in the mix of all this crazy E3 coverae.

But there's not much new about it, so I didn't think it was worth posting on the site.

I'll leave what it says here, though, in case you guys can use it in any way.

Basically, I was told that:

- Last E3 before game's launch (obviously)
- Participating characters: Pac-Man, Mii Fighter, Goddess Palutena, Shulk, Chrom, Chorus Men (none of these are new, obv, so I take he means these are the participating characters for E3?)
- There has been internal debate about keeping Lucas versus Ness, apparently Lucas is likely to get the cut
- Nintendo is planning post-launch character DLC, source doesn't like this as he thinks it's greedy

And that's it. This E3 should make or break whether this guy's the real deal. Let's hope for the best! =)

Goodbye Lucas.

 

[Second Power]

So, think they'll be anymore character reveals at E3? *cough*Pac-man's only chance*cough*

 

[Rockaphin]

Gematsu leak:

Goodbye Lucas.

Hopefully not, I don't like that line-up. But then again, we don't know if that's it. I'm pretty sure we'd see a DK newcomer and if not, I'd have to question how newcomers are determined. . . But that's my opinion, we'll see.

I sure hope so

But if not official I feel like it's inevitable that we get hints and clues

Might be false. Unless they are going to show Chrom, Shulk, Chorus Men and Pacman are all revealed for E3.

When, and will it be on Nintendo's stream?

 

[Starbound]

I don't believe it is getting streamed but a lot of news sources are there and they're saying that there is a presentation before the Q&A.

It's at 7pm PST, or about 40 minutes from now.

The presentation is supposedly at the roundtable.
