Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[BlueSorrow]

I expect the picture for tomorrow to be a random character reveal like Wolf or Snake. Or a useless one. It is probably going to be the later.

I expect confirmation of the boxes return:

Spoiler

You don't need to know what happen to Luigi.

 

[Kenith]

I expect confirmation of the boxes return:

"Pic of the day. We've been getting a lot of requests asking Crates to be shown. Since Crates are so popular, we've changed them so that they have a 50% chance of containing more crates! Also, the other 50% are rolling crates."

 

[thebaum64]

They got Rosalina and Luma to work, I don't see why Ice Climbers would be any different.

they are different AI's but its possible.

Then what's the point of crates besides throwing them at others?

 

[UltimateWario]

Half of the time, they contain crates, every time.

I like rolling crates. Especially in 2v2s. You just stand on that ****, get launched, and watch the world burn.

I wouldn't mind seeing another new item being shown. I kind of would like to see another Metroid item. But I'm not sure what would work. Maybe the ice flower from Mario.

 

[Protom]

Ignore this

 

[UltimateWario]

A Power Bomb could be another neat explosive akin to the Smart Bomb. Instead of exploding slowly outward, it sucks everyone within a certain radius in, then explodes, throwing everyone in different directions.

 

[thebaum64]

I hope Paper Mario is a character, it would be fantastic :D

No. More. Mario. Items.

I don't want any items in particular, just more control over the ones we got.

tl;dr the ability to omit Nintendog and Resetti from the ATs

 

[Depressed Gengar]

That would be amazing. Especially if they did that with the Pokè Balls too.

 

[UltimateWario]

All-Legendary Pokeball fights?

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

This would also mean I could set ATs to Skull Kid only. <3

 

[Kenith]

That would be amazing. Especially if they did that with the Pokè Balls too.

HELLZ YEAH! EVENT 37 ALL THE WAY!!

Edit: I figured Pichu fans would know what I meant by "Event 37"

 

[Richard Nixon]

There's also Olimar's Pikmin.

I'm a little late, but yeah, unlockables are probably coming back. And whether they are or not, Sakurai's more concerned about using character reveals to promote other games. Some of the characters we've seen already are more than likely to be unlockables (I can't fathom having five Mario characters on the starting roster). I doubt we'll see every character in the game revealed before release, but we may see all the newcomers at least.

yes new comers are likely, and its ok that we don't see all the characters! Leaves more surprise!

 

[PSIguy89]

man and here I was thinking I was only one who would LOVE having a pokebal/AT filter! man that would be friggin awesome~

 

[Protom]

Somewhat on the topic of cuts, I looked back at that Interview.
"...However, I do believe I understand that each character has its owjn set of fans out there who really like that character.
"So we’re not going to cut characters out of the way, we’re going to put in as many characters as we can, we really want to do that, because it's good for the fans and good for all of us. But in the event that we do have to cut some characters, I’d like to apologise in advance to those fans."
Sakurai cares about the characters we care for?!?!?

 

[Lasifer]

This is partially why I kind of want the game to come out in November, I really hope the entire Brawl cast returns.

Proof that Impa will not replace Sheik. Sakurai will not just kick Sheik out for Impa.

Of course Sakurai isn't going to just go "It's a big game, there are a lot of characters, but some people aren't going to make it in. Get over it.".

I'm not a Sheik or Impa supporter, but unless he said "I'm not replacing Sheik with Impa.", then there's no such proof.

does not want to make anyone, adds over 9000 characters... solved world peace and world hunger

November 3 preferably...

This.. this shows that Snake will return!
EDIT: Apparently I can't post pictures anymore on here for some reason.

This really makes me think there won't be any true cases of one character "replacing" another this time around. There may be a few newcomers that take priority over a veteran, and maybe some will get in while an unfortunate veteran is left behind, but it sounds like at least all of Brawl's cast is intended to coexist with all of the newcomers.

 

[thebaum64]

Bronie joins the battle

 

[UltimateWario]

I think he means that we're scrapping vets for more Jigglypuffs.

 

[BlindFox]

I wouldn't care if the game was released by autumn or even Christmas, as long as they do the "perfect" Smash Bros Game possible.

He literally said that they're not going to cut out characters. So replacing Sheik with Impa will not make sense, since he's not going to just cut out Sheik.

I'm now in the mood to play that event thanks!

How did you post pictures before?

 

[UltimateWario]

He literally said that they're not going to cut out characters. So replacing Sheik with Impa will not make sense, since he's not going to just cut out Sheik.

He immediately afterwards said that it was perfectly possible that there would be cuts, and that he was sorry in advance to fans of those characters.

 

[Autumn ♫]

It's right next to the smile face, but now whenever I try to make one it just shows an IMG inside a rectangle and when I post it, it went weird, making an extremely long post of letters and numbers.

 

[Lasifer]

Does anyone think there will be a demo on the eShop pre-release? I'm also gonna go out on a limb here and say the game will probably be playable at E3 this year, if it's not released pre-E3 then Nintendo will definitely have it there.

wierd...On my browser there's a tab to upload pictures on the bottom of the text window...

You could also try copying and pasting an image directly.

 

[UltimateWario]

If they gave us a demo, I can safely say that the eShop would crash.

Probably permanently.

 

[Protom]

If it releases in November/December, me and my pals will be hogging the inevitable comic com demo all day

 

[Kenith]

I'm making the perfect roster right now. Y'all gonna love it.
