I saw mention of a Smash Run. What is this?

If you ever played Kirby's Air Ride it is similar to City Trial.

Four players beat up CP Us and collect stats which they will then use after the 5 mins are up to level up their characters stats then the four players will start a match with those stats that they got through Smash Run.

Ah, you're right. That seems like kind of a small niche to make an entire mode to fill though.

Come to think of it, Greninja must have started development before X/Y's release. Did Sakurai and co. just know he'd be the most popular starter?

Two questions-

  • Is anyone else surprised that there isn't as much complaining about Greninja as they may of expected? I knew he was popular, but I didn't think he was Smash Popular.surprised
  • How unexpected would you all say Wire Frame Mac was? On a scale of 1 to Beyond Miss Fit.

The real pain is going to be avoiding spoilers. I'd have to drop this thread, yeah, but that's hardly it. I'd have to avoid threads or sites related to Nintendo overall (For example, look at how Serebii updates and documents Smash Bros. news if it relates to Pokemon; I could potentially be spoiled by them if there were a secret Pokemon character or something).

I'd probably have to avoid any site that allows for forum avatars, since someone somewhere is going to use spoileriffic screenshots as an avatar. I'd also have to avoid Brawl in the Family, which is a shame.

At this rate, I'm going to guess that Mewtwo will be Lucario's costume, with Mega Mewtwo replacing Mega Lucario. They probably will use different voice quotes too, since I'm guessing Male Wii Fit Trainer won't share Female's voice.

Though Greninja aaaaaaah all of my love. Thank you for the surprise.

Pretty sure you'd have to give up remaining unspoiled at some point. No denying that the avatars will be everywhere.

I think one of the reasons we haven't seen a ton of Greninja hate is because he/she/it (gonna assume he because of starter gender ratios) just looks cool. Not just his design, but the way he moves around the stage. He's fast and smooth.

Which immensely frustrates me. AND there'd be a big, stupid fall semester between the two, and I'll basically have to spend the whole semester avoiding everything and everyone, having nothing to do.

I would have preferred Mewtwo to be honest, over Greninja.

But so long as I manage to get good at punching it in the face, everything is fine.

@Nes Classic: Well, people here seem generally pretty mellow about unexpected characters, as long as they're unique. I've seen more people flipping out about Wii Fit Trainer and Rosalina elsewhere...but I don't know what the reaction to Greninja has been like. If there's little hate to be seen anywhere, it may just be because people are happy enough with all the other news to be majorly upset by his inclusion.

So I just heard the two versions have two different release windows. I guess that actually makes sense from a marketing standpoint, since you don't want one version of the game to overshadow another in sales. It also makes buying both versions easier

Didn't the Rosalina backlash take a little while to kick in as well?

@Anomalocaris: That seems... dramatic. Especially for a game whose only secrets are not plot-related. But I guess I can kind of see where you're coming from with that.

@Zarek: I know right? I didn't even know Greninja and I think he looks cool. Overly Long Tongue has never looked so badass!

I think people are too focused on Ridley/Charizard to say much on Greninja at the moment. Fawful Crump brings up a good point that Greninja's development probably started before XY's release. Seems odd.

So first I was hype. Then I was sad since I wouldn't get to play it. Then I remembered I have a 2DS. Now I'm hype again.

I know, I just wanted to try and avoid roster spoilers so I can get the best possible experience. It's frustrating that I basically can't do that.

I guess we'll have to wait and see the final release windows, though. For all we know the 3DS version might get pushed back, or the Wii U version might get pulled forward (Far less likely, but much better). Or Sakurai will out and out say "by the way no secret characters this time", in which case I'll be disappointed but at least have no reason to dodge spoilers.

I really hope the inevitable SSB 5 goes back to just being one version, the version split has been causing nothing but trouble for me.

My thoughts:

Sheik and ZSS are separate both to compensate for the 3DS version gimping the Wii U one and to pad out the roster.

Greninja is there purely to piss off the Mewtwo crowd.

Well, there's been like six months since X and Y's release...assuming they determined that Greninja was the most popular starter a month or less after its release, I could see them having it ready by now, if they've been giving him a fair amount of focus.

[up][up]Sakurai has always considered each form of a transformation character as their own character though. And let's be serious here: Sakurai is a troll, but not a work-my-ass-off-making-a-completely-new-character-to-piss-off-X's-fans troll.

[up][up]Either that or Nintendo is very well aware of Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja and predicted that Greninja would be the most popular starter.
