Little Mac, W.V.B.A. Champion confirmed for SSB4

[BlitznBurst]

What's up with Little Mac in this picture? He looks different.

I think it's the new glasses

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Congrats to all of Mac's supporters. As one myself, I can't even express how happy I am right now. This is the first newcomer reveal that really appeals to me.

I can't wait for my brother to see this video. Little Mac is one of his favorite video game characters, my childhood one at that. I cannot even contain my excitement.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Guys I think we got our Tekken character

So happy that Little Mac is finally playable in Smash!!! He is one of my most-wanted Nintendo characters since the pre-Melee days.

I love that Little Mac got an unique game mechanic involving that KO meter. He is not "like Marth except with punches" like the haters say.

Love this! I am so happy I finally got one of my most-wanted characters in Smash!

 

[PadWarrior]

Man I'm so pumped!!!!

 

[TheTuninator]

Well, I'd say that settles the debate on whether the boxing ring is a Punch-Out! stage pretty definitively! I expected this, but it's still nice to see. He looks like a very interesting character.

 

[Twewy]

SMASH AIN'T NO JOKE

 

[Ascended]

WHOOP! Been wanting Mac since the Brawl days! Also, who else noticed that the boxing ring has WVBA logos on it now?

 

[Ridley22]

Good stuff, he deserved to be included.

 

[Spire]

Remember when Sakurai was studying Ken's movements and hitboxes?

 

[Katy Parry]

Congrats to you all.

I'm still hoping for Isaac.

 

[APC99]

What

Mac just stole the show
Mac just stole the show
Mac just stole the show

Mac just stole
Mac just stole
stole the show...

 

[FirstBlade]

Yay! I finally got a roster prediction right! His main page is up at the official website now guys, just so you know.

He looks awesome. Better than I even expected. I loveeee that they decided to keep him tiny. His Giga Mac final smash was expected, but I'm still meh on it. But whatever! Little Mac SUCCESS.

Giga Mac isn't bad, but I would have preferred his Star Uppercut as his Final Smash.

 

[fogbadge]

congratulation punch out fans

where as im not really excited about mac im look forward to try him out non the less

 

[BKupa666]

Well, guys, get ready for your own new sub-forum soon. Anyone got any cool names for it?

 

[BluePikmin11]

Yay! I finally got a roster prediction right! His main page is up at the official website now guys, just so you know.

Meh, that was a very easy prediction to make. Nearly everyone guessed Little Mac.

 

[UltimateWario]

This. So beautiful.

This is a character I can get excited about. Rosalina's boooooooooooring. Mac's where it's at.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Congrats mac fans.

Like the power meter thing, however it can be spotdodged, and LM looks very gimpable, "your not an air fighter".

But his ground game should be one of the strongest in the game, i think.

 

[Arcadenik]

It's King Dedede's ring, right? Generic wrestling ring? WAIT NO, generic boxing ring.

I love how Sakurai was just building all up for this moment: 20th anniversary of Punch-Out. The boxing ring was made early in the game, so it shows how early Little Mac was considered for a newcomer; we just had to wait for today.

Most of us Little Mac supporters saw the hints and we knew he should be in the game. Detractors made us doubt. So happy that he is.

20th anniversary of Punch-Out!!? You mean 30th anniversary... and does this mean we finally know the release date of the original Punch-Out!! arcade game? February 14, 1984?

EDIT: I guess it is the 20th anniversary of Super Punch-Out!! (SNES) too.

 

[Deleted member]

YES! I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY! MY MOST WANTED NEWCOMER JUST GOT IN SMASH! YES!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU MR. SAKURAI!!!

That trailer was amazing! Absolutely amazing! It really excited me!

EDIT: Also, I love how they changed the detail of the stage.

After:

(I need a better shot of the floor…)

 

[McDuckletts]

>tfw character you want for Smash gets confirmed
This feels absolutely awesome.

 

[Altais]

Well, looks like Little Mac made it in after all. To be honest, I am not the least bit surprised. His trailer was awesome; I loved how they used comic-book style animation instead of 3D animation. Even though I have never played Punch Out!!, I am rather excited to see Mac in Smash 4. He looks like a pretty swift and powerful character.

 

[CyberWolfBia]

I NEED TO SAY AGAIN, THAT I"M HAPPY, CAUSE I AM!!!!

 

[Pacack]

CONGRATS TO ALL YOU GUYS!!!

I was never his biggest supporter, but his moveset looks amazing. I have got to try it. And that trailer was the best yet. By a long shot.

 

[Banjodorf]

"That's just a generic boxing/wrestling stage!"
"Those Punch-Out!! details are probably just a nice reference."
"Not every stage has a character!"
"It seems nice but I'm just not feeling it."
"I mean, what would his down-air be? The ****?"
"He's cool. Too bad the Japanese don't like him."
"Yeah, even if he got in, Sakurai definitely favors Japanese art designs, so don't expect him to have his PO Wii look."

I'm sorry. I can't hear all you detractors over the sound of how right I was. HOWS IT FEEL NOW!?!

"He wears boxing gloves, how can he grab foes?"

Check out what he's doing to Marth. Body blows. By god, this is so great.

You forgot one.

"He'd be boring! Like Marth but with punches! He wouldn't have anything that would make him stand out!" (of course, supporters were suggesting the star system from Punch Out Wii)

[Louie G.]

IT'S ABOUT FREAKING TIME.
I AM SO HYPED RIGHT NOW.

 

[Oracle_Summon]

I now know who I am maining in this game.

 

[Speculator]

MAC STRONG.

 

[Fastblade5035]

This song seems appropriate :D

 

[Ascended]

Need a new avatar for this occasion.

Check out the trailer. You can easily screenshot a better look of the stage.

>tfw character you want for Smash gets confirmed
This feels absolutely awesome.

Someday I will know this feel when Ridley gets announced.

 

[DoubleYooToo]

Could be a placeholder, because they don't want to outright spoil Mac's appearance.

Called it.

 

[Bowserlick]

Well, so it is.

Congrats to those that held hope. His coach's voice and stage are neat. Little Mac doesn't look that awful.

With the Mii Stage being showcased, I do have nearly absolute faith in the so called "leaky three." So at least Pac-Man looks very, very likely. But Mii.... eh.

 

[LF2K]

Well, fellas, we did it. We freakin' did it! Mac's no longer on the sidelines, he's in the ring where he belong!

 

[Morbi]

I don't think any Newcomer can match the hype of Little Mac to be perfectly honest... not even Ridley. I am just so excited! Finally a character that can actually fight (that isn't a woman, child, or animal) makes his appearance!
