No, what he means is that if you use Alph as an alt, the name on the select screen will change. That's all.

Yeah, "title treatment", alright, I get it.

There's certain characters in the game that either need to have real differences in their moveset or should have gotten that treatment. I'm thinking of two in particular.

If I didn't already know the details from the Japanese premier event, I'd probably be panicking (again) right now. Sakurai likes to make the details muddy in his wording like that.

Who's Alph? Is this code for Ridley?

Ah, man, looks like the time has come where I have to add Smash Bros to my Tumblr savior keywords and hope for the best.

Well, the only thing I got spoilered for so far is a pretty nifty-looking stage, so fair enough, eh?

I'll be avoiding the spoiler thread, since I don't want to know who the remaining newcomers are (If any).

That being said, I am curious as to the fates of the as-of-yet-unrevealed veterans, Wario, Ganondorf, Ice Climbers, ROB, Mr. Game & Watch, Lucas, Jigglypuff, Falco, Wolf, and Snake. I assume Ivysaur and Squirtle are gone.

I've seen that leak roster, but from what I understand it didn't have all the characters unlocked on it regardless of legitimacy, so I have no idea about some of the vets.

Well, I've gone full Spoiler Hound for the playable characters. Don't worry, I won't mention them on this thread.

[up][up]Without spoilers, I'll say that quite a few of those veterans are definitively back in.

Tell me Lucina should have been an alt for Marth one more time. DO IT.

[up] Lucina as a Marth alt is a perfectly reasonable idea.

Lucina should have been a Marth alt, though.

Loose Cena being a separate character from Marth is good in my opinion, though I'd have preferred she not be quite as cloney.

Better than nothing though. Maybe if they make an SSB 5 they can Luigify her.

I mean a bit more than "exactly the same but with different sword-damage-range properties". Even Roy was a bit more differentiated from Marth than that I believe.

But like I said, it doesn't really bug me that she's a clone, since the alternative would probably have been no Loose Cena at all.

when i had melee i never actually realised roy was supposed to be a clone at all...

#57423: Sep 11th 2014 at 10:27:58 AM

[up][up]The alternative would be Lucina as an alt. Remember, that's what she was before Sakurai decided to split her into her own character.

Now that I think about it, Alph for Olimar is remnant of what Lucina could have been it seems.

Well, I wouldn't mind her as an alt if she got her own name and what not instead of being just another costume.

But she's her own character and that makes me happy. Thank you, Sakurai.

#57425: Sep 11th 2014 at 10:32:33 AM

Yeah. To me, separate character is preferable to alt even if she's a clone.

I'm also not so crazy about the idea of alternate costumes being separate characters, like with Alph here. But that's just my personal preference.
