Also, FLUDD is still part of Mario's moveset(did we know that already?).

Rosalina trailer.

Smash website's page on her.

Main artwork. More artwork.

It seems her dress has star patterns on it.

I do admit, as much as I have said against alternate costumes, I want Link's "Hyrule Warriors" costume to be his alternate costume. It looks different enough for it to work. Heck, replace Triforce Slash with the Spin Attack from the trailer and I am good.

RE: Rosalina: Haven't watched the direct yet, but I'm a bit meh on her inclusion. I like her as a character and it's good to see more females in the game, but...ehhh.

Rosalina seems interesting- The idea seems to be that she can launch Luma a set distance away with some attacks and then from there they mirror each other. Her aerial attacks and throws don't look to use Luma, or at least not as much as her ground fighting.

Also- Rainbow Road stage confirmed.tongue

Just to clarify, is Hyrule Warriors a crossover with Samurai Warriors?

I think it is from a gameplay stance, but it looks to be self-contained otherwise.

That's what I meant, yeah.

Anyway, the main attraction of today; I can't view the video yet, but I'll check it out later. Rosalina looks to be interesting, though.

Please tell me there's a Rainbow Road stage!

So, so far, specials seem to include a Launch Star recovery, and some sort of defensive wand-wave that bends projectiles around her.

Rosalina in Smash Bros. 4 made me go "what?"

[up][up]Launching Luma also seems to be either a special or a Smash attack.

She looks pretty interesting, in a sort-of Olimar-y way.

[up]Really? She's been played up for a while now, especially in Super Mario 3D World.

Now that I've watched it, thoughts on the trailer:

  • Kirby Air Ride 2 confirmed! (Though that would be cool if they threw Kirby into a Mario Kart game at least.)
  • This whole trailer was adorable. Cuteness overload between Kirby and the Luma. And DK poking Kirby was a nice touch [lol]
  • Rosalina looks like she is made of stars or is a vampire.
  • Her playstyle seems really complex. I wonder how you control both her and the Luma simultaneously. At first I assumed it was like Olimar and the Pikmin, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
  • Someone needs to make a gif of Villager trying to capture Luma.

Like I said, after launching Luma with a special/Smash/whatever that move is, it seems to hover a little ways off and face Rosalina. From there, it'll attack simultaneously and in a similar way when Rosalina herself does- Though I'm guessing it'll be a bit weaker than her.

I sure said that!

Oh, and whatever move had Luma firing a beam.

I wonder wht the significance of Luma's changing colors is. Damage meter?

Kirby Air Ride 2 would be awesome. I actually really liked the first one (Mainly for City Trial, though the main racing mode was pretty cool too).

@Anom: Same here. I especially love the unique, simple control scheme of the game. (And I'm a bit surprised in hindsight they didn't make a Wii New Play Control version of it, since between the waggle for attacking and the tilt for gliding, it almost seemed custom-made for that.) The game's only real flaw as far as I'm concerned was it had too few stages and the fact that there were effectively only three characters you could play as (and I suppose that its Rainbow Road equivalent was really boring). Everything else was golden. The tons of extra content in it made up for those flaws as far as I'm concerned.

I was never able to complete the Air Ride checklist, though. Completed the Top Ride and City Trial ones, though.

Playing City Trial with idiotic level 1 CPU's is hilarious, though. They're such idiots.

I love how Rosalina's trailer was a triple switch-up, first making you think it was a new Kirby game, then making you think it was for Mario Kart, before revealing that it was for Smash Bros.

On another note, seeing both Rosalina & Luma as well as Olimar & Pikmin makes me think at this point that it's pretty unlikely they wouldn't be able to get the Ice Climbers working in the 3DS version. I guess it still doesn't completely rule out them being cut, but it helps...

Luma and the Pikmin are mostly models with primitive behavior, though, while the Ice Climbers are literally two fully-operational characters at once.

That being said, the 3DS should be sufficient to have the Ice Climbers.

Fuck yeah that was the first newcomer reveal we've had since... ever. Rosalina is the best Mario character.

Would still appreciate some more franchise representation though.

No, the Ice Climbers are synched. Rosalina&Luma are controlled separately.

Oooooh... very cool. Love her special attacks.

Also, FLUDD confirmed for Mario.

Also also, looks like we're getting some sort of cosmic stage for the 3DS. Wonder what it is.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.
