I remember some Lyn supporters saying that Lyn being de-confirmed as an Assist Trophy was just as bad a tragedy as the September 11th terrorist attacks (that is when the update came up). The one thing I don't like about most female character supporters is how rabid they usually tended to be. I think you really had to be around the pre-Brawl days to see the kind of insanity some of these guys were packing.
Really strange how Palutena has among the largest fanbases for Smash 4, yet her fanbase is pretty level headed.
So yeah, I had to basically go with my gut to believe ShadowXOR.
I actually remember this. I think someone else on the leaks at some point over at NS2 (Or somewhere else, or maybe it was on a forum I was part of) said "35 character roster" and that's when I was really able to narrow it down before the leaks. Not necessarily to 100%, but I had an idea of "Okay, so a WTF char, maybe a StarFox char, these returning vets, etc"
Eh. IIRC I was not satisfied with any of the newcomers added that we learned with the leak. I was especially annoyed that Toon Link didn't even get his own moveset.
Anyway, I hope... But the roster might not end up like we want it, once again. Especially if they go down the road of keeping the characters the same in the 3DS version and the Wii U version.
You're awesome i hope to see you more and hopefully other familiar faces as the wait to smash 4 kicks in especially since i need to not buy too many games before this stuff comes out i have enough to play through already
Really? I thought Wolf and Lucario were pretty awesome. Toon Link was pretty fast and interesting so I didn't mind that. R.O.B. disappointed me but that was about it. I was also disappointed by the lack of newcomers.
If they do it won't be the worst thing ever. PSABR, Street Fighter x Tekken, Mortal Kombat, UMvC3, BlazBlue, and other fighting games already keep the same roster. I kinda hope we can play all the characters somehow in both games.
While that may be true, I think that anyone who's good with a favorite, such as Peach, can fare well against a good player using Metaknight. Victory is not exclusive and solely based on MUs but rather how you play and adapt to situations. It isn't so black and white.
This. Most people aren't even that far in the competitive scene, people have made amazing comebacks, Brawl has a fantastic doubles scene/fantastic doubles balance, counterpicks, and to top that off, there's still hacks like Project M or Brawl+ if you're disappointed with the original.
