I was kind of disappointed that Saki is still an Assist Trophy.
Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureGreninja was the first unexpected character to me since Wii Fit Trainer, honestly. Rosalina was a bit too easy to guess with the constant push on her to be in games. But him? I didn't think a regular starter would be solo(Pikachu aside, respectively, due to Pokemon Yellow). But hey, fair enough. Outside of Jigglypuff returning(please do so), I'm not sure who I want for the last slot. Sceptile or Mewtwo. Both are great options, though.
I'm sad we won't get another PT since that helps rep characters via playable status specifically. I don't find Assists etc. nearly as great for representation, mind you. But eh, two versions, reasonable decision.
Shadow?That reveal was FREAKING AMAZING!
I'm glad transformations are gone. They felt clunky to me and were unnecessary in my eyes.
By the way, was there something in the Direct that either implied or outright stated that Ridley wouldn't be playable. There was according to some people but I sure didn't catch it.
What is a fandom? A miserable little pile of flame wars! 3DS FC: 0387-9377-7408 PSN ID: Raven King SageI was amused by Villager pocketing Zelda's Phantom.
I know when I'm playing as Villager I'm going to be saying "Mine!" in the Rubberfruit Soldier voice.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!They were mentioning fighting bosses on certain stages and Ridley's shadow flew over the Pyrosphere.
Everyone be like WHO DAT? And the idea is that if you're a boss on a stage you're not likely to be a fighter attacking yourself.
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stayWell, Melee gave us Bowser versus (Giga) Bowser...

People are "assuming" and assuming Ridley will or will not be playable due to Sakurai saying that boss characters will be appearing in other stages too, while having Ridley off screen following Pikachu in the Metroid stage.
I'm actually feeling really bummed out about the staggered releases now. The Wii U version just isn't going to feel new and fresh since the 3DS version will have been out far longer. Not to mention it would have been nice to have during the summer.

It might still have some exclusive modes like the 3DS version is getting.
Some people are clinging onto hope by pointing out we didn't see Ridley directly except for his wing/tail and that he wasn't mentioned by name. He's still dead to me, no matter what I want to believe. Sakurai, please just shoot him quickly and let this false hope be over with.
Ridley supporters, time to go for King K. Rool, the last big villain that's plausible. He'd be a better consolation prize than Greninja ever will be.
I like how almost no one is focusing on Greninja.
I play my 3DS way more anyway. I've been itching for a new Smash. I just hope we get a few more interesting guys. Mega Man and Villager is the only ones that really piqued my interest ultimately. But my mind may change later.
Shadow?Rewatching the stuff about custom moves, I do notice that it seems they're all changes made to existing moves, rather than being wholly original attacks. So my guess is you'll be able to assign stickers, or something along those lines, to a specific move and change its effects. I wonder if you'll be able to mix and match multiple unique effects...Should be quite interesting.

Welcome to th:|Yeah, but then we'll know the full roster already, and it'll feel sorta disappointing just unlocking the same characters and knowing in advance. Not to mention, assuming the general gameplay isn't too different, we'll have already gotten used to it instead of starting fresh.
Starting up Brawl for the first time was a very fun experience, and now I've basically been robbed of having that for the Wii U version. I knew two versions was just going to cause trouble for me.

I feel like assist trophy is still a pretty big honor.
Sure, you're randomly generated and share the same glass dome as all the other assist trophies, but being animated kind of makes you like a fighter.
It's like they're all second-string. Way better than a lot of characters who would never show up.
