Smash 4 Social Thread 3.0

[Knight Dude]

So apparently by skimming through Zipzo's AMA Thread, I found out, color-wise...;

• Olimar has 2 sets of 4 skins, 4 Olimar Colors and 4 Alph Colors (leak thickens)
  
• Announcer/Game refers to the Alph costumes as Alph, not Olimar (I assume GK works this way as well, and maybe Dark Link)
• WF Mac has a Hoodie as well (I forget if the thread said the hoodie is also wireframed or not)
• While Olimar has 4 per Alt., Little Mac has 8 normal and 8 Wireframe (why, idunno.)
• Sonic has 1 Black and 1 White furred costumes, rest are shades of Blue
• Pac-Man's colors only change his shoes/gloves (and apparently gives him Socks on a color swap), no color changes what-so-ever (no Red/Pink/Blue/Orange Pac-Man *sadface*)
• Mega Man be swaggin' the Black n' Yellow
• No Helmetless/Protoman Mega Man costumes
• Pikachu has a color of a Hat with Shades on the front, a Fighter's Headband as a color and Ethan's Hat from Gold/Silver/HG/SS as a color
• Fox has a Wolf color (NOT COSTUME, JUST A COLOR SWAP)
• Robin's colors apparently only change gender/hair, not the robe (Not sure if the hair is style, color or both, I forget)

And probably other stuff too since I only skimmed through about the first 6-8 pages, and was too lazy to read the rest.

...Oh, by the way, apparently Chrom is in one of Robin's victory poses, like Doc Louis.

The hat with sunglasses sounds like the male trainer in Pokemon X. I'm also glad to hear that we're getting a color based on Gold/Ethan too.

I'm just being honest, why would Sonic not appear in the fifth Smash as he did in Sonic Boom? That's like saying "Lucario would not Mega Evolve during battle," "Ike wouldn't have his Radiant Dawn outfit," "Samus would still look Super Metroid," or "Kirby wouldn't use a super ability from Kirby's Return to Dreamland."

Riddle me this Cliff.
How come Pac-Man does not use his Ghostly Adventures look? Or why does Mega Man only use his classic look? Why not the other, more current designs (like X)?

Because Sonic Boom is a spin off.
If you're going by the logic of "recent installment" then why doesn't Zelda look like her Skyward Sword self?

 

[RamOne]

I found out I'm terrible in making Miis. The Miis I made look nothing alike like their counterparts. Ah well. And why is the Top Hat a late unlockable? It's the only thing I need to finish my Layton Mii.

 

[Digital Hazard]

If Jigglypuff does really get into this installment, I hope her alts would be the hats of all the female playable Pokémon Trainers; she got Leaf's hat in Brawl after all.

 

[Tangamanga]

Song I'm going to play when I wreck with

Damn this song's hella.

 

[Space Stranger]

Song i'm going to play when I wreck with ! Oh wait....

Sounds tasty!

Because Mega and Pac are still rookies

 

[TewnLeenk]

The denial is real. Mmm delicious denial.

 

[Substitution]

Because Mega and Pac are still rookies

Both Mega Man and Pac-Man are much older than Sonic mind you.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

The denial is real. Mmm delicious denial.

Denial? It's true though, MegaMan and PacMan have just started in Smash

Both Mega Man and Pac-Man are much older than Sonic mind you.

I was talking about Smash.

 

[WayfaringElf]

The denial is real. Mmm delicious denial.

I like my denial in powder form, so that I can drink it and help build my dienial system and deniscles

 

[MSmariosonic]

Why doesn't Marth have his Awakening look? Exactly.

 

[Soul.]

So custom moves are accessible via the character select screen? Great. That makes things less difficult.

 

[Space Stranger]

I hope ten-gallon hats are starting items since I want to play as Gunner Woody from the get-go!

 

[Sehnsucht]

All information in the past week or two have basically confirmed the legitimacy of the ESRB roster leaks. So Jigglypuff is definitely making the cut (as an unlockable character).

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Why doesn't Marth have his Awakening look? Lucina.

Fixed for accuracy.

 

[Bedoop]

Denial? It's true though, MegaMan and PacMan have just started in Smash

I was talking about Smash.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Snake."

 

[Space Stranger]

I think we can all agree that this is the one recolor needs to have:

 

[The-Power-Within]

So no Proto Man alt for Mega Man?

That sucks. Still maining Mega Man, but a Proto Man alt would've been amazing. Still, there's always DLC that could fix that.

 

[MSmariosonic]

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Snake."

Woah... dude... You know i'm on the thread, right?

 

[Substitution]

Little Mac is new, and they used his recent design. So why not Mega Man and Pac-Man?

 

[PKmeloa]

I sure hope Sakurai actually makes Ness good this time around..

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Little Mac is new, and they used his recent design. So why not Mega Man and Pac-Man?

Little Mac isn't Third Party, he deserved his recent design more than rookie third party characters

 

[WayfaringElf]

Little Mac is new, and they used his recent design. So why not Mega Man and Pac-Man?

Because Pac-Man's recent design is the devil
No sane thing with any form of compassion would look like that
Pac-land man will save us!

 

[MSmariosonic]

Little Mac isn't Third Party, he deserved his recent design more than rookie third party characters

Snake was a rookie in Brawl and used his most recent design.

 

[Substitution]

Little Mac isn't Third Party, he deserved his recent design more than rookie third party characters

And now I can confirm you're straw grasping.
I don't see why they would prioritize one over the other. Are you implying Nintendo is biased?

 

[Space Stranger]

...I don't think that would work for ...

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

You know what? Sakurai should have just cut out the middle man and put in a straight-up colour edit mode. At LEAST let us choose whatever colours we want.

 

[Tangamanga]

 

[Radayam]

For some reason Pac-Man having socks has me really hyped.

 

[Knight Dude]

Megaman X is a different character. Though your point on Pac-Man is valid.

That's like wondering why Luigi doesn't have a Mario costume.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Snake was a rookie in Brawl and used his most recent design.

Probably because of Kojima's friendship with Sakurai

 

[The-Power-Within]

I sure hope Sakurai actually makes Ness good this time around..

I thought he was good in Brawl, personally, but Lucas seemed to be a lot better. Would love to see Ness receive a buff this time though.

 

[WayfaringElf]

You can see the malice in his eyes

 

[Substitution]

Megaman X is a different character. Though your point on Pac-Man is valid.

That's like wondering why Luigi doesn't have a Mario costume.

But once again, why not just use X? Sure he's not just like Mega Man. But he's similar.

 

[Radayam]

It's like having sulfuric acid poured down your eyes...

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

But once again, why not just use X? Sure he's not just like Mega Man. But he's similar.

X is already part of Mega Man's final smash

I think you all need to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIArJoHR5iI

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

I mean, Pac-Man's and MegaMan's classic designs are either the more recognizable/accepted one (Pac-Man) or more heavily tied with Nintendo (MegaMan).

So why is the design of the classic third-parties suddenly a point for some weird debate.
