Oh hey, turns out they can't get every series well repped in a single game. Where's my Pushmo stage? There's limits to what they can do, and I'm sure a balance of advertising, popularity, gameplay potential, and more are considered when choosing the reps. Then they go obscure for Assist Trophies and the like.

[up]55373 Through a Mario fan website that detailed the regional differences between Panel de Pon and Tetris Attack as a feature. I've known about it since I was about five or six, actually. (Even back then I felt the fairies had more charm. X3)

[up][up]Ice Climbers, Lucas, Wolf, and Snake are all cut. They may still be available as DLC in the future, but no promises.

Seriously- Assist Trophies are great, especially since Little Mac has proven they're not a barrier to later being playable.

I sure said that!

[up]x8 Um. I uh. Never played the game he came from. It just feels like it would have fit in terms of the leak.

It was almost like it they were saying 'Well, you've already likely seen him from that, so we may as well show him for real.'

I vote Phosphora...

Yeah. It's hilarious how they used a start-of-battle quote from Shulk in a trailer focusing on Shulk in battle.
Enlong, I get why you're doing this, but it's best to just let people think what they want to think about it, even if it seems like it's grasping at straws (much like any discussion about any leak). Besides, it's not like it's impossible for it to have a double meaning.

@Trailer's name: I'm pretty sure it means both. I mean, besides being one of Shulk's quotes, "Looks like we don't have a choice" doesn't fit with what happens in the trailer. (I was expecting Bowser to be like that wandering lv. 90 monster in Gaur Plains going by that title)

[up][up]I was expecting to see SHULK SMASHES IN! in his title card.

It fits with the trailer in terms of it being Shulk going into battle.

So is that his only going into battle quote, or...?

@Enlong: It's fine. Personally, with a line like that, especially in light of current events, I'm not surprised at some people seeing it that way...

Oh. By the way, there's an Assist Trophy part of the website now.
So apparently, Ghir is attackable, as is Phosphora, but while the former can be launched, the latter only flinches.

Also, it was probably revealed earlier, but Ashley's attack is basically the Negative Zone Final Smash that Luigi used to have.

[up][up]Nope, that's his battle quote when facing a significantly higher level monster.

Yup. So it is.

It's funny. The opening sequence (Shulk ambushing bowser from the bushes, Shulk avoiding a similar ambush) makes me want a Smah MOBA. I've never even played a MOBA, though.

Someone mentioned being surprised at how much dialogue was added in the English version, but I watched the Japanese and there doesn't seem to be a difference in the number of lines? They might be a little softer. ... They are also significantly less campy. "It's Shulk time!" is originally, you know, a title drop. And "I'm really feeling it!" is more like "I'm getting the hang of this!"

But yeah, I have to say I'm glad I never allowed myself to get as invested in character reveals as I did before. I very much sympathize with anyone angry and disappointed, because, of course, arbitrariness in design choices like these is still a major pet peeve of mine. But yeah, I didn't dare to really put my eggs in any baskets and ultimately I still got at least one wish granted, plus one that I didn't even know I wished for. So I'll be happy with that, weird choices notwithstanding.

Edit: Baffle Blend, don't be a dick. That was just uncalled for.

Mmmbrother, it's a Shulgasm.

[up]55380 Yeah I've played it. It's not just the visuals that get me though, it's also probably the only puzzle game I'm legitimately good at. I enjoy it for the universe, the characters, and the gameplay equally.

This is kinda cluttering up the Smash thread though, I've got a Panel de Pon thread elsewhere in the video game forum if you want to move things there.

Okay, so a recent edit in the character's page made me question something very silly: What color are Shulk's clothes? I see purple, but Mindless Fire says they're red.

His jacket is burgundy, his shirt is black with purple designs and some kind of pink (peach maybe?) and white hems, his shorts are a mishmash of colors I don't feel like naming, and his shoes are primarily burgundy with brown leather straps and a bit of black.

Why are people automatically assuming that just because Shulk was revealed, the leak is real? Shulk has been a popular character for "dream team" lineups ever since the ball got rolling on Smash 4.
