Yeah, Dark Samus would be a great second(third?) character for Metroid. To make up for it, Ridley can have three boss battles this time. Heck, replace the final bosses with Master Ridley and Crazy Ridley.

For me and Metroid, I'd like to see Ridley >/= Dark Samus >>> anyone else (I know there are others, but I don't know them). I too would prefer some visual difference.

For me and Fire Emblem, I figure:

  • Well, we already have Marth.
  • Apparently this Chrom guy is the current protagonist, so him too (following in the tradition of Roy and Ike, even though I'm sad to see both of them go), if he's sufficiently different.
  • Didn't you guys say this Avatar person uses magic? so them too. And they're also a protagonist Also, having actually looked at the page, it's possible that they could be male or female, if they're put in as a Heroic Mime.
  • "Marth" as a female playable character, but with her being a spoiler, that doesn't seem likely. And in any case, Avatar being potentially female also works.

I still think Ganondorf needs a bit of an overhaul.

You may want to spoiler that bit about "Marth."

It's not that big a spoiler, it's revealed pretty early on. Plus isn't smash kind of notorious for not caring about spoilers?

Yeah, there are much worse spoilers.

I have a message from another time...

I suppose.

It was just a pretty big shock to me, so I assume other people wouldn't want that ruined.

Then again, I'm probably an idiot for not figuring it out early on.

Chrom and Lucy are both boring choices unless they use lances. Robin is still the best Awakening rep.

I still want Ephraim. Lances are cool.

The main problem with Robin is of course that there's no pre-set appearance or gender. I suppose it would be easy enough to use the face-covered-by-hood image that sometimes shows up in-game, but somehow that seems to make it less interesting to me.

Also, the official Japanese title for the character is "My Unit" which sounds silly but is probably what they would use.

They could always change it for localization purposes. They did for Rosalina; she's Rosetta in Japanese.

They could always use the default appearances and have a few others as alt skins.

That's what I was thinking might be done for Avatar.

Mind you, I don't think Robin is likely to get in. S/he's just my favorite choice.

Some other changes include:

-Air time and accumulated damage will determine your period of invincibility while hanging on an edge.

-Grab controls will no longer be affected by whether you have above or below 100% damage.

Aw, I thought the grab control thing was a nice touch. Probably not as fun during competitive battles, though.

Artist's impression of Palutena as a fighter.

Much better than the mockups of Ness and Mewtwo that went around earlier.

[up]Those don't look too bad at all, though I suppose it's a lot easier to shop someone convincingly into the 3DS version thanks to the outlines.

I'd support Dark Samus as well. There's just so much potential for moves - Samus' weapons aside, there's the arsenals of Gandrayda, Ghor and Rundas, her intangible bat form, the Aurora Unit and her original appearance as Metroid Prime.

...Of course, she's only likely to show up as a sticker, if that.

Ah, looks like they're trying to address Brawl's ledge-camping problems. That's good, that's very good.

Sakurai did say he was going to throw a bone to competitive players this time around (even though he believes it to be a Vocal Minority of players).
