Yup. I don't remember where I saw it, probably one of the random E3 floor game play videos.

Sheik and Zelda still have the same Final Smash.

It is true that ZSS needed a new FS, given that her old one was basically "put on the Power Suit". But I was hoping we'd get something cooler.

I'm expecting Link and Toon Link to stay the same as well, and if Falco and Wolf are both in again... more Landmasters. It isn't too much to ask that there be an Arwing Final Smash, is it?
Maybe Falco can get a Arwing FS

I think that we deserve three veterans, being Jiggs, Capt. Falcon, and Ness.
This. Please

I think its cool that Samus' ship gets to have an appearance in some form, though :3

I don't really care much about Triforce Slash, I think its pretty cool. (I'll be annoyed if Toon Link also still has it, and he will.)

But Zelda and Sheik both still having Light Arrow? That's REALLY annoying. It'd have been nice if they at least used Ballad of the Goddess or something (since Sheik uses a harp) and maybe it could summon the dragons or whatever, I don't know.


EDIT: Oh, but ZSS getting to use her ship? That's AWESOME.

Sheik has plenty of options. The light arrow doesn't fit her at all. Pretty disappointing.

ZSS is fast becoming my favourite character. I'll definitely try maining her. That black body suit w/blue flames. Yes plz.

My only hope is they haven't finished all the updated Final Smashes yet. ZSS absolutely had to get a new one and they focused on the "bad" FSes first.

Oh I don't have a problem with that. ZSS's new FS is cool.

Seems a bit overpowered, but Final Smashes are always going to be imbalanced anyway.

Although ZSS seems to have an easy time both getting the Smash Ball and wrecking the field after she gets it.

On the topic of FS's. I love that the commentators called Rosalina's 'more of an annoyance' than a FS. Olimars looks more effective too.

Is it me or does ZSS seem top tier?

She looks and plays awesome anyway
* Moves fast.
* Hits hard.
* Movement options.
* Lots of movement options.
* No more edgehogging.
* (Likely) enormous recovery range.

Top tier material to me. Between the engine changes and the focus on making alternate forms into single characters means ZSS got lots and lots of love.

Looked the same to me, no offense.

I agree. The black suit just looks amazing.

True true, but, since we all know Final Smashes will be banned in tournies anyways, our worries can be put to rest.

As far as the competitive scene is concerned, final smashes are nothing more than fan service.

I sort of wonder what their perception of balance is. Sakurai saying Samus was "the most powerful" was just like 'wha???' to me and probably everyone else. Then Zero Suit goes out and wins the Tournament. I would've loved to see a bit more cohesion with his play though. He dropped a lot of combos and did some weird things.

Smash Ball seems to take A LONG time to get with almost nothing done to you to lose it.

Sorry if this has been asked, but do you think this is all we'll get for Smash? I mean, Palutena and Pac-Man are both great additions to the roster (I have a kind of 'meh' feeling for the Miis...). But what about veterans? Do you think we'll see maybe Wario? Ganondorf? More newcomers?

I'm not good enough for tourneys although I'm better than all my friends... except the two who actually play in tourneys.

Nonetheless I usually play with Smash Balls off... Since they're ultimately a glorified item I don't see the point in anyone worrying about how balanced they are.

Are we getting more stuff tomorrow?
According to Sal Romano's leaker, we've still got Chrom, Shulk and Chorus Men left to be announced.

I don't believe it, though, since 3DS version releasing in October changes the landscape completely and they'll need characters to placate impatient people for the next three months.

I don't think that leak was specifically referring to E3. Greninja was revealed before E3, after all.

I can see at max 1-3 veteran reveals and 1 newcomer reveal tomorrow, but that's it. They'll need to keep releasing characters gradually until the game releases if they don't want to spoil the whole roster before release.

I at least want Ganondorf to be confirmed to have his OWN DAMN MOVESET.

The UPDATED leak seems to imply all the remaining leaked characters will be at E3.

I don't think we'll get anymore via E3. Sakurai is going back to Japan tomorrow.

The MOST I see is a confirmation on Game and Watch since we know he's more or less confirmed at this point.

I've gotta ask though, Mr.Riddle got a LOT of stuff correct, even if you think it was sheer coincidence, but I still wonder about his "A COMBination of 6 characters." line. We got 3 newcomers today, 5 if you count the two other Miis. Game and Watch has not been officially unveiled yet, so I'm unsure if he'd be our 6th.

I feel like if Shulk, Chorus Men, and Chrom were to be revealed at E3 they'd have already been announced. I can't see the Treehouse stuff just randomly having Smash Brothers newcomer trailers thrown in.

I am not sure, it depends on whether or not Game & Watch counts in that event. Other than that, we got Wario and Ganondorf allusions.

I think this boils down to the question as to when G&W will be revealed... I can't imagine it'll be too long from now, seeing as how we flat out saw him..... No pun intended.

I think we could end up getting a newcomer at the end of the tree house, if they do a run-down of everything type trailer, and then one last surprise... But I think realistically they'll just open up today or tomorrow confirming G&W

With X likely to be explored in a Treehouse stream, it's plausible that Shulk could be shown then.

There's also FE X SMT for Chrom.

And don't forget our first WTF character was shown randomly on the show floor... could happen again.

I don't know if we'll see anything Smash-related anymore, seeing as Sakurai is leaving (or has left already?) to Japan. Hopefully we'll get something at the end of E3 though just to finish everything off...

I dunno if we're getting any more characters this week (except perhaps an official reveal for Mr. Game & Watch)...

But with only three months until the Japanese release, and the website getting an overhaul and adding sections for things other than characters (as of now, just modes and game play mechanics) maybe we'll see the pace of reveals pick up. Hopefully we see some other sections added to make it a bit more like the Dojo.

They could probably reveal a character and a stage every week until release from this point and not run out.

Sakurai knows (he said as much) that when the game releases, the roster will be revealed. And the people who follow his posts that much are definitely going to go look at the spoilers. So IMO he might as well reveal the full roster.

]4) Miis are only selectable through special brawl matches (as well as customizable movesets) through a toggle option. You can save a handful of Miis to your save file. You can only play these matches using a mii with friends or local; not online. They replace the random button box when toggled on; as the special mode emphasizes specific set up matches. They are entirely customizable in the sense that you can give them a mix of other characters special moves with slightly different animations. People also can toggle weight and speed depending on their mii. Everyone however has the same grabs and basic attacks animations but have different percentages based on height and weight. Someone at treehouse made a "Thor" mii and gave him a mix of Kirby's side hammer attack, Marths special recovery, Pikachus down thunder, and DKs punch.
It was pretty accurate... except for the end.
Damn if only Ness and MJ were revealed at E3, I would root for Leakerbros.
Too bad it seems too fake. :-[
But oh well, Chorus Men, Chrom and Shulk at E3 sounds good !

We don't have to panic now. For now, we have to see who will be revealed/returning in E3, if we don't see anyone we hoped for, wait till the game releases, because in the E3 trailer of Super Smash Bros. Melee, they never mentioned about Marth, Roy, Mr. Game and Watch, Ganondorf, and others you will notice, and in the E3 trailer of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, they never showed Ike, Wolf, King Dedede, R.O.B, and others, not sure how many trailers there are for Brawl, but I'm pretty sure about Melee, so when we get the game and we notice that in GameFAQS and websites for guides to unlock unlockable characters, and there isn't the characters we wished for, then... WE PANIC!!!





But I still get your feelings... :urg:

Don't forget what I posted, we can still hope for some returning veterans and unannounced newcomers suddenly while playing...

I'm wondering why the Mii Fighter didn't get a proper trailer, but rather just a presentation at the start of the Digital Event. Like, there was no "Mii steps in!" or whatever catchphrase and the official site doesn't link to a YouTube video for them... I may be grasping straws here but maybe they still have one more "proper" trailer for us. I just need something more haha!

We're such a greedy little group of people.

3 newcomers, a tourney, hints of veterans returning, a whole Q&A. Yet we're never satisfied.

Hmmm at this point I think it might be done unless they think ending with a bunch of oldies is good. I'm kind of doubting they'll give us any more newcomers because they wouldn't be as good as the other ones revealed this E3 so far.
