The Miis seem to be pretty customizable- There's "standard", sci-fi and western-themed outfits for the Gunners on the page, and there's a few Street Fighter-esque looks for the fist fighter style, too.

I sure said that!

I hear Reggie said something about training up so he could kick everyone's butt at the game.

I then read someone say they'd love to see various people from Nintendo go at it in some kind of Smash Brothers tournament.

I gotta say, I'd love to see something like that actually happen. Like a SSB Nintendo Invitational where we see folks from Nintendo we recognize (and maybe a few others from other game companies as well) go at it head to head.

Or maybe even a SSB Invitational Half-and-Half. Like where half the competitors are famous people from Nintendo and the other half are folks from the SSB competitive scene.

They should have had a bout similar to the Celebrity Battle that was Reggie, Iwata, Miyamoto, and Sakurai all battling.

Finally saw the Pacman intro vid after everybody else FLOODED THE THREAD WITH WORDS.

Hehe, it was funny. He holds the torch for all the Namco stuff, Galaga, Galaxian, Xevious...so much shooters.

Also the end was funny with him and Mr Game & Watch saying they came before Mario and Donkey Kong. Just seemed like such a "We were here first!" moment.

I have decided to put more of my "hoping for as playable character knowing full well that their chance of being such is near zero" energy into pulling for Chieftain for Smash. :D

33 fighters in all now. 31 without Sheik and Zero Suit Samus and 30 without Miis, depending on what we're counting...

I hope we get back most of the Brawlers. The Melee-ers are probably gone though. Young Link most likely, Pichu seems also likely, Dr. Mario seems gone, Roy may be in limbo, and though everyone wanted Mewtwo there's already Greninja.

Ech, I'm speculating characters again.

Someone please tell me the source of that GIF? This seems like one of those awesome, Japanese game developer jokes, like the E3 06' "Console War" advert.

Also. A lot's happened since I was last here, and I had to catch up since this thread stampeded ahead:

"MEGA-MAN! SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT!"

"-FIGHTIN' TO SAVE THE WORLD!

I just... I can't stop laughing at that.

Palutena's reveal. I never played Uprising, nor was I into Kid Icarus, though a lot of people were rooting for her inclsion, and now, I really want to play Uprising. The style of her trailer just screams Mythology Gag.

Man, now we have Rosalina and Palutena. That's the first match-up I'm going to have, assuming they're starters and not unlockables.

PacMan's reveal. Pac-Land. Pac-Man classic model. Super Pac-Man Final Smash. Yes. Just yes.

Keybreak: ...Why are you not counting Sheik or ZSS?

Also, how are Mewtwo and Greninja anything alike? One is a Water/Dark Starter, the other is an extremely powerful Psychic Legendary.

We had an active day, didn't we? Basic summary of what's been revealed:

Amibo figurines for a 'custom' AI for players Paletunia, Mii Fighters (so everyone ever), Pac-Man, and we've seen Mr. Game & Watch. Oh, and we've seen some Final Smashes.

Hype is back.

@Key: Yeaaaaaaah, about that... Transformation characters were previously counted as separate by Sakurai and now they aren't even transformation characters so why you left them out? .-.

Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man in one game. If you went back 5 years you'd be met with skepticism. If you went back 10 years you'd be laughed out of the room.

Out of curiosity, does Mega Man initiate his Final Smash via that black hole weapon from 9 or 10? If so, I guess it's neat that they're drawing from the more recent titles.

Yes, that appears to be a Black Hole Bomb to initiate it.

And now we know where Capcom put all the Mega Man models.

I have a message from another time...

@Bad Wolf If I'm not counting unique characters. If it's just slots, then...

Well I should probably count them as their own characters. I tended to count Dr. Mario separate anyway.

And I'm not saying that Mewtwo and Greninja are alike, only that Mewtwo was replaced by Lucario and Greninja was put in to promote new Pokemon Mewtwo's odds of coming back are even lower now. ;p

I don't get how they decide Pokemon. I think it's partially popularity, partially newness, and partially tradition. Pikachu's the mascot, Lucario was popular and had a movie about him? So he stayed...Greninja's part of the new Pokemon and the game could use a water user...and I'm still expecting Jigglypuff because she's been a mainstay.

Mewtwo was apparently in Brawl but was cut for time? And now it looks like he's cut for space. Cause how many Pokemon can you really squeeze into a game like this...? And skipping an installment too.

More specifically, "ORA ORA ORA" is a battle cry made by Jotaro's Stand, Star Platinum, during its signature Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs attacks, and "MUDA MUDA MUDA"note  is associated with Dio Brando and his famously good blocking skills.

At least as many as Brawl, I should hope. Which we'll get if Mewtwo is in. ((Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Charizard, Squirtle, Ivysaur) vs (Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Charizard, Greninja, Mewtwo))

It might be one more- I'd be surprised if Sakurai didn't complete the Grass Fire Water triangle, just knowing what kinda dev he is.

I still don't understand why you wouldn't count them separately.

#46648: Jun 10th 2014 at 10:40:49 PM

I never like when they take things out of sequels. Even "bad" things.

I could have stayed with Pichu even if they hadn't taken away its hurt-myself-even-when-I'm-attacking gimmick! They could have just made it really fast. Not faster than Sonic, but fast.

Maybeeeeeee...give it a really strong Final Smash.

^Because they used to be together and then they split.

But they're not together anymore.

Also, you need to take stuff out of sequels. Otherwise things get stale and you end up with too much stuff.
