Hey, hey guys, look at this!!!
Our days of rampant speculation are finally coming to an end!
Also, I'm really far more interested in the suspense and the surprise than in just having everything spelled out for me. I was a big supporter of Robin and the announcement still didn't do much for me because the livestream was unavailable in Germany and then I just had the site basically tell it to me while I was waiting for something to happen in frustration. It was like "ah". As opposed to the extreme excitement the trailer could've given me under better conditions.
So yeah, if they DO spoil the entire roster for some unfathomable reason, I'll be excusing myself from the thread and blacklisting Smash on Tumblr and stuff, because I'd really rather hear it from Sakurai in painstaking slowness.
The better translation is
"Super Smash Bros Super Smash Book!"
"In regards to the 3DS "Smash Bros" game, we'll have:
all the characters
all the stages
thoroughly captured in this separate volume-supplemental!"
"So you'll be totally ready when the game releases!"
My guess, then, is all starter characters and stages, a primer, not a tell-all.
It's a new day. I check the website, and Robin is still there. Good.
Lucina is probably in mostly because she's a fan favorite. She's popular and easy to implement, so why not?
Official leaks. I'll take it. The chances of getting real leaks increases exponentially as we get closer to the release date anyways.
Lucina shares a lot of her normal moves and was clearly using Dancing Blade, Counter, Shield Breaker, and Dolphin Slash in the trailer or on the blog screenshots.
Please help out our The History Of Video Games page.The fact that several of her normal and special attacks shown in her reveal are similar if not identical to Marth's says otherwise.

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."That's the kind of statement you make to say that you brought in a clone.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyLUCINA'S IN!! WOO!
Seriously, though. My life is complete. My favorite FE character is in a Smash Bros. game! I finally have my main!
Oh, and NO, she isn't a 'clone' of Marth, even if they do share similar moves. Also, I don't think they'd be dumb enough to do that. They look alike but might have completely different moves.
She's cooler than he is, anyway.
The trailer kinda disproves that "completely different moves".
It's a waste; I know. I wished they could have used the various skills from Awakening as here B-moves instead of copying Marth.
Please help out our The History Of Video Games page."tokoton" is slightly misspelled (forgive me, my work computer doesn't have IME), which is why the machine translation spat out "cotton", as it probably read "to kotton" and not "tokoton" but "tokoton" means "thoroughly". The machine's "large capture" seems to be literal enough, it's a big, thorough thing.
The last phrase is pretty straightforward to the machine as well "prepared perfectly release can wait for!"
I don't see why Lucina's clone status is a big deal. It took practically no development time compared to the other newcomers, so she's pretty much a freebie thrown out there to please her fans. Besides, clone or not, Lucina > Chrom every day of the week.

What is a fandom? A miserable little pile of flame wars! 3DS FC: 0387-9377-7408 PSN ID: Raven King SageI'm sorta suspect about this offical leak. It seems unlikely that Nintendo would just let them do that.
That being said, may I request a spoiler policy? Anything not officially revealed on the Smash Bros. Website, or in Nintendo Directs, or from sanctioned gameplay footage, ect., be spoiler-tagged?
I'll probably leave this thread once the 3DS release date approaches anyway, but this way I (And anyone else hoping to spoiler-dodge) are insured against a surprise leak?
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

I always expected Lucina to at the very least be a semi-clone of Marth if she got in, and I don't really have a problem with clone characters that most people have.
Robin is infinitely more interesting however.
