Better remove that new one they added, that crocodile king. He's got a cape and a counter, so he's probably an anime swordsman. Kids probably don't recognize him either, so he's got to go.Truly there is just too many anime swordsmen!
To honest... I rather Ken be the AT... and for Chun Li to be the character.
I think if someone strolled up to me and asked whether or not I'd like to know every single little detail about Ultimate prior to it's release... I wouldn't be able to stop myself and then I'd suffer for a million years waiting for the game to actually come out ;-;
They call Ridley "Captain America", when the real one was coming this whole time.
On a related note, I am glad that they'll reveal every character in the base roster, default and secret, before the game is released. Trying to avoid spoilers is a mine field that I don't ever want to cross again.
It's funny how Americans always complain about "anime" characters being same and only American character we have is a clone.
I'd usually disregard this but he mentioned Chrom being a Roy echo which is kind of left field as a lot of things(Including Smash Wii U) Implied he would be an Ike clone. So "predicting" would have had to have been pretty hard.
Right off the bat, I assume people will discard this because he mentioned Galacta Knight being a Meta Knight Echo Fighter, but I wouldn't be so quick to think that. Lucina and Dark Pit were literally just costumes made into their own characters at the last minute. If you pay attention, this is visibly apparent in both Lucina and Dark Pit as their differences are miniscule. In fact, you can notice that Lucina's idle animation is completely unchanged. On Marth, he puts his hand on his chest while Lucina's just kind of hovers there. It's not really all that farfetched to think Sakurai made Galacta Knight into an Echo Fighter at the very last second. I would just assume that he would have very small differences.
It's also cool because it makes his fighting style a mix between Ike and Marth and these two were inspirations in his original character design afaik.
I can't really remember where it is on the website, but I'm pretty sure there's an image of Prince Sable's AT where he's in his snake form, or maybe it was part of someone's character video.
Might, not be the same person.
As someone on youtube pointed out, none of the chracters shown at the direct were "relevent".
They're already going back on how many echoes they originally said...also Soren as a Robin clone? Yea I don't believe this one.
Yeah I still think Elma still has a chance to get in the timing of her game puts her in a reasonable position to be a newcomer in smash
Pretty much this although, chances of a character from Heroes and/or Three Houses getting DLC is quite possible, Sakurai broke his opinion on FE on this Direct, he could do it again.
Well, at least he managed to get in as another FE newcomer, which is more than what I can say for others (Lyn), regardless of Sakurai's past opinion on FE.
You're most likely right. However, have I not suffered enough yet AT wise?
On the other hand, it killed my hopes for any new characters, because apparently we're only getting Inkling.
Since when? If big names is all that matters, why does FE keep getting characters? Likewise for Pokemon? Both FE and PKMN have their big name characters (bar Meowth).
Chrom is relatively new, being a character from the 2010's.
They've been taking inspiration from all their classic looks too, with K. Rool having his gold belly back, and Simon being based on his NES era depictions.
Sure, but his series has moved on (he's still older than Corrin) and he had an important role in last Smash.
Bearded Isaac as an echo. If people kept giving suggesting a Big Boss echo you can vouch for Bearded Isaac
If someone stated 7 months ago that Pichu, Young Link, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Snake, Ridley, Simon, Richter, Chrom and Dark Samus were all more likely to be playable than Spring Man or Rex, you'd have been laughed at.
It seems like it's the same account. There are quote posts on the NeoGAF forum that links to the account 'WhissIBlank' and the new post is also from that same name. I think it's possible that the first one is real and the second one is just him being fed false info or possibly just trying to keep his 15 minutes of fame going.
It's probably for the best that they don't reference DD, which is Golden Sun's Other M as it currently stands.
I mean, Samus still uses her Other M design in this game...
Both Pokemon and Fire Emblem don't have a consistent cast. It's always added new faces rather than focusing on a famous few. This is why those series will always be adding new characters while it becomes more difficult to find ones for other series.
Close, he's a favorite of one of its producers.
Fair enough, though they did at least use a different Ridley design. But yeah, you get what I mean.
I'd rather they add in Chun-Li as an a next SF newcomer.
Yeah, I'm really happy about Dark Samus's inclusion, partially for this reason. I tend to root for characters created by Western developers, not since I'm biased towards them, but since there are so few. It's kind of like rooting for your team in the Olympics, I guess. So far we have Diddy Kong and King K. Rool (from Rare, a British developer) and Dark Samus (from Retro, an American one). We also have a few characters whose modern incarnations are heavily influenced by Western developers, like Donkey Kong (Rare) and Little Mac (the Canadian Next Level Games). We also have Shovel Knight (American Yacht Club Games) as an AT. There might be a few I'm forgetting too. In terms of potential new Western based characters, there could be Dixie Kong (Rare) and Rayman (French Ubisoft).
I would absolutely love this roster (Monster Hunter and Ken in particular) so I'm leaning on the side of fake.
If anyone is wondering, here's the thread: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/supe...te-updated-character-videos-and-more.1463068/
I have no idea how Neogaf works. But this account didn't exist before the Smash direct.
Either it's the original leaker who came back and recreated the same account, OR it's a person who saw the 4chan thread mentioning the leak and decided to copy the avatar and name.
Isaac has only a few games and he wasn't the protag when he has a beard so he'd get his classic design.
