as of yet, no Skyward Sword costume for Zelda. sick of looking at her TP design. I want the more whimsical Zelda Sakurai.

Whimsical Zelda < Mysterious Zelda imo
God I forgot how good she looksSS Zelda is my favourite too but I wouldn't want to piss TP Zelda off.

's model seems rather low poly save for the head, neck, wings (which seem to be fine). Oddly, Mega Charizard X's model doesn't seem to have this problem.

Could just be unfinished, I'm sure all the models will be polished later
Female Robin's voice is super nice, but I like them both. David Vincent has a great timbre. I love how he says "Time to tip the scales!"

I am glad that the female voice is good, but I think I would have played it anyways. I generally prefer female characters over male characters in most games.

Captain Falcon's face looks different..in a slightly worse way. It's not terrible by any means, and I can't even put my finger on it, but it just looks odd.

I can kind of see your point but I'd rather the trailers contain more gameplay footage, especially since the cutscenes are only for promotional purposes. No matter how cool a cutscene looks it doesn't "make more sense to the game" than...something that's actually in the game.
Also I think you're taking it a little personally that your favorite character got beat up in a completely non-canon trailer.

I more of meant that they would have done something like an cutscene version for Robin's FS and then later feature it through POTD to look more indepth to it. It would have in general, left better impact and impression of Chrom on Smash's fanbase currently (instead of what we're getting now).
Lol well, we all like 'em.

Because, like all manly macho men, sometimes he wants to feel like a princess.
Oh... uh... apparently I'm wrong. Oh well.

Whoever's working the costumes failed to get shiny Greninja right. It's possible they made the alt before Game Freak had even decided what shiny Greninja would look like, but even so, they should've been able to at least change it to be accurate once Game Freak made up their minds.

If you're trying to pretend that Hallowe'en isn't an acceptable spelling for the day...then you're flat out wrong. Sorry but not sorry, lol.
Maybe you should have done some research before the snarky reply.

No snark implied, I just thought the video was funny and reading "Hallowe'en" reminded me of it.
As for an on-topic nitpick, the CSS box backgrounds are all orange. I was hoping they'd match each character's background color from the website. The 3DS version got it, not sure why the Wii U version didn't.
Oh, my bad.
Well, it's kind of an orange cream colour that moves, pretty interesting imo but I can see why some don't like it.

I kinda agree, though I'm thinking there might be a practical reason for this. Namely, that the dull, drab TP design ironically lets her stand out from the other blonde ladies in the cast . Her SS iteration might, in theory, make her look too similar to ZSS or Peach for newbies.
I too, am irked at how the trailer made Chrom a memetic butt-monkey. I loved it initially, with its jab towards the Gematsu leak, but looking back, I'm a little sad that Chrom will almost never be taken seriously ever again.
Yeah, that assessment seem pretty accurate to me. Though I do recall reading somewhere that some Nintendo marketing survey thingy revealed to Nintendo execs that their fanbase prefers strong and active female characters to passive ones. So it might not be completely random. For what it's worth, I do feel like Nintendo is on the right track. As err...questionable as Super Princess Peach was, its existence as a concept is still nice right? (silver linings :/ ).
Haha. I like how they've pretty much glossed over that game since. It was a terrible game anyways, I sold it as fast as I sold The Legendary Starfy.
I never took Chrom very seriously anyways, to me he was just the generic blue-haired hero of Awakening. I liked how he had some personality, and his voice acting was good, but Ike will always be my boy, and Chrom pales in comparison.

For me, because I have an obsession with Action Girl types. In Robin's particular case, I like the way default female Robin says "Predictable!" when she Dual Guards, and Female Tactician has a far cooler critical hit animation with a sword than the Male Tactician.

I know I nitpick about renders a lot, but Meta Knights look like they just cut him out of an in-game screenshot, he doesn't really have a defining pose, heck he doesn't even look at the camera.

I dislike their marketing strategy this time around.
I understand the concept of reveals and building hype and the maneuvering act of keeping the hype levels up as week after week goes by but the secrecy behind some of the important things like veteran/returning characters I find to be a bit...not appropriate. You'd think a fully revealed roster would create more hype because you know who's going to be in, and thus more people are excited. A hidden roster just seems a bit pompous, like "You don't even know who's in it, hell we might have cut your favorite character, but you'll still buy it!".
It just makes the waiting period more frustrating rather than hype building IMO. They should hype on features, not characters (unless it's a newcomer).

I really don't mind who is in the game and who isn't, I choose my characters based on their play style. While I can get hype about characters like Mega Man, if he plays like arse I won't play him. I had literally never played a Zelda game before when I started playing Link (of course then I started playing Zelda games and now it's my favourite game series).
Which brings me to my nitpick, clones are still in. I like the diversity of characters and their movesets, and when some of the characters are just copies of other characters with small changes, it just feels like a waste of a slot. Like they could put a purple space dragon in there instead of another Fox clone.
dammit where's my Ridley

I friggin hate Samus's pose. She looks like she's playing that "don't touch the hot lava" game kids play on floor tiles at JC Penny or some **** like that. Just out of character. All it does is remind me of
And uuuh... where the hell is Lucario?
It can't just be me right? I see Kirby, Pit and an Fire Emblem character in almost every Smash 4 related news yet I can't even remember the last time Lucario was even shown other than the E3 demonstration.

I must admit, her being sleeveless really lights a Din's fire in me. & plus how much she reminds me of Lisa Lisa from JoJo. I can't complain as she's one of my favorite characters & her TP design will help in my nonsensical JoJo matches filled with pause posing.SS Zelda is my favourite too but I wouldn't want to piss TP Zelda off.
Zelda looks freaking gorgeous and I love her outfit, but the fact that her necklace just stays there without any chains or lace just bothers me. I know I won't mind it in-game, but you'd think they'd put that on her especially since it was in her official Brawl render.

Lucina's eyes are too small.

That reminds me... I think my biggest nitpick about the game is that Lucina exists. Lucina, from what I've heard, is literally marth with a different sweetspot on the moves. And then he says that he didnt feel he should add Chrom because it would just be another sword user... What?
Exact quote is "At the end of the day, Chrom would just end up being another plain-old sword-wielder like Marth and Ike. Compared with other characters, he lacks any unique characteristics."
Yeh because an exact copy is so much better.
Btw just reread the first post and this isn't meant to be character bashing. The thing that bugs me is they say one character would just be another sword user and then include an exact copy

He was refering to choosing robin over chrom with that quote, lucina was originally intended to be a an alt for marth but was given her own slot

Lucina is just frosting on the Robin cake, she didn't take Chrom's place.

I suppoooooooose that makes sense.
I'm not a fan of chrom (Never played any fire emblem, so not really a fan of any of those characters. Though robin seems like he'll be cool) it was just the flaws in reasoning that bug me. Like how he said that mii's wouldn't be allowed online because of bullying.

I knew miis wouldn't be allowed online, but I didn't know it would be because of bullying. I really wish they could be taken online. I have a lot of offensive miis I want to beat people with...

I guess to make up for Miis being unplayable in online mode they made them the new Multi Man Smash enemies. Oddly enough, though, they all wear black bodysuits. Not really a nitpick, I just thought bid bring it up because the Miis are cool.

Lucina has comparatively small, slightly squinty eyes in Awakening too, though.
They wear black bodysuits because they're Ninja Miis!

Are you sure? I don't know something is slightly wrong with Lucina's face, I guessed that it was the eyes but apparently I guessed wrong. I just can't figure it out.

Meta Knight is just too cool to look at the camera. He's like a 90s-era teen dream, an emo anime character, or the album cover for an alternative rock band.
No but I actually agree. One particular nitpick of mine is that I liked his Brawl render's pose more than his new one. I feel like the cape is a more "neutral" accessory than the wings, and I think it should be shown in his default artwork. I also like how the Brawl render has him looking straight forward. Looks intimidating and pretty wicked. At least he didn't get a render as bad as Luigi's, though...

Are you talking about Skyward Sword? It doesn't look like Smash is glossing over it if you ask me. We got Skyloft and and an alt costume for link. Plenty of other references in terms of items and trophies as well. That's pretty much all the representation I expected. (btw, In my opinion SS has its problems but it's solid and far from terrible, but that's another discussion :D).
...Hopefully you were talking about SS, cuz otherwise I just made a complete fool of myself
