You know, if it turned out any of us influenced the development of Smash in any way through our crazy discussions, that'd make me very happy. XD
We've had the full roster for a Smash game typically 3 - 4 months in advance.
Captain Falcon, along with the rest of unlockable characters in Smash 64, were added because they could be based off of existing characters and reuse assets; Luigi was completely cloned from Mario, Jigglypuff was semi-cloned from Kirby, and Falcon and Ness were based off of Samus and Mario respectively with a few cloned moves/animations left over.
At least I'm glad they put his shoulder bash back in. I'd be fine with his moveset remaining unchanged otherwise as long as they save such effort for adding anyone from his series.
And the ESRB leak occurred in August 2014, 2 months before Smash 3DS's release.
I never knew I wanted to listen to Wario's voice on repeat until now.
Yeah.
If the last major leaks for Melee, Brawl, and SSB4 are any indication, they'll be quickly dismissed because either 1. *insert popular characters here* didn't get in, 2. a weird or ambiguous translation error that makes them sound a lot more far-fetched than they actually are (examples: Roy mistaken as the Koopaling, ROB mistaken as ROB 64 from Star Fox and Bowser Jr being described as "Bowser Jr in a go-kart"), or 3. the post gets lambasted by virtually everyone but the leaker doesn't try to defend it too hard because they don't want to draw too much attention.
Definitely. The first thing people want to do with Simon is reunite him with other NES icons, not re-enact some cartoon that's best left forgotten.
I mean it would suck if Isaac and Ashley are both disconfirmed but I almost want this to be real just for that Mimikyu disconfirmation
Nope!
All quiet on the Ravenous Front.
Or less than one month before Smash 3DS's Japanese release.
Yoshi is totally gonna get cut.
Ooh, look at you. All cool and fancy with your "facts" and "verifiable evidence". I'll take my unreliable memory and conjecture based on my own personal bias and self taught views, thank you very much!
Its almost 2:00 AM over here.
I am happy with shoulder bash.
thank u
this. also I HIGHLY DOUBT we're going to get a full roster leak before they officially reveal at least one more character
Yeah, it's so ridiculous to think that if Sakurai was going to add an indie character to Smash for no reason other than "representation" that he'd pick the lead of the single biggest Indie franchise in all of Japan, one that's so huge it counts as its own genre at Comiket. Obviously that side character from that one random American game that wasn't even published in Japan until last year is much more likely.
I'm not the only one xD.
Would that make Falcon unpopular over there? Or does his whole flamboyant, boastful, super sentai vibes overshadow that?
fyi, I'm actually a fan of the series (though not much of one) and have played most of the games. That said, 1. I'm agreed on no chance 2. third party characters don't work the way you think they do 3. Shovel Knight (or, anyone from wayforward for that matter) actually has connections with Nintendo and 4.
Murlough
). Mimikyu was probably expected to be popular, but he didn't get big tools (i.e. his unique Z Move) until the Ultra Games.
No, honestly, third party characters don't work they way you think they do. Cloud is the obvious example of that. Third Parties get in based on the strength of the IP, not because of any connections with Nintendo. The fact that most the other third parties do have a connection is really more just a testament to Nintendo as a brand.
You should be. I'll remember this come the Halloween reveal.You know, I kind of see Mimikyu as a strong Pokéball candidate (sorry
I can envision Mimikyu as sort of like a mobile Wobbuffet; he walks around, and if he gets hit, his Disguise breaks and his head recoils back and forth, damaging the one(s) who attacked him. He will stop in place for a bit, to repair his 'head', then start up again if he has time.
Don't think I didn't notice the Steven Universe references!Just watch, we are going to have mineral-based echoes of all the characters.
Green Emerald Luigi
Tropical Topaz Donkey Kong
Dragon Jade Yoshi
Cool Sapphire Marth
Rose Quartz Zelda
Red Ruby Pokémon Trainer
Dark Onyx Meta-knight
Deep Silver Corrin
Lapis Lazuli Lucario
ROB
I get what you mean, but the thing about Corrin was that he had so many things against him specifically that just don't really apply to Spring Man, so I can't really see the latter getting anymore criticism than what Roy got when he was confirmed through datamining. He'll be fine.
"Murlough will remember that."You should be. I'll remember this come the Halloween reveal.
I'm not mad if that isn't clear.
I'm referring to the part "if they were to pick an indie rep" which I don't really see them going down the line of thought of "Guys, we need an indie character!" Indie characters are a bit more than just that and aren't an inherently set company. If we were to get, say, Reimu, it wouldn't be because "let's put an Indie character" but it'd be because, say, ZUN decides to port his games over to the Switch or something else that starts it.
"Cool. Good for Lloyd fans..."
I agree with Samus because her last game at the time was Super Metroid in 1994 and it didn't do too hot saleswise in Japan, a big reason the series went on an almost decade long hiatus afterwards. Based on this, I feel like she initially got in to be the "Chun Li" of Smash because 1. She repped her own franchise and 2. Peach, actual leading lady, would have made technically half of the starting roster Mario characters.
