Same. Not only did it disprove that godawful leak that everybody and their mother seemed to be buying into and taking as gospel, but it was funny, well-animated, gave us some great jokes (Chrom in the Yamcha pose, Captain Falcon being unstoppable, and Robin flipping through his book, for example), revealed two characters even if one of them's a clone, and was good enough that it prompted me to try Fire Emblem out, a decision I don't regret. Robin also wound up being my favorite newcomer.

Shulk's trailer was interesting when it first came out, but in retrospect it's sorta... meh. It's just Shulk talking in lines recycled from in-game. Though the shadowy cameo of the best Nintendo villain of all time at the end was nice. tongue

And Duck Hunt's trailer is probably the funniest overall.

Robin's trailer just reminds me of the sole instance people suddenly stopped taking Sakurai's own statements seriously in favor of insisting that Lucina wasn't going to be Marth.

Captain Falcon- Great Fire Emblem baddie, or greatest Fire Emblem baddie?

It's kinda great how much Captain Falcon's reputation has been more or less canonized by now- He beat Chrom and nearly beat Lucina simultaneously, and Robin's surprise arrival just barely slowed him.

[up][up]The bit that makes Duck Hunt's trailer truly great is probably Mario's SMB sprite's Bring It gesture.

I still posit that the Capt. Falcon amiibo should have been compatible with Fire Emblem Fates as a Guest Unit of sorts.

I would love a Fire Emblem DLC that's just them against the cast of Smash.

Hopefully some of them slightly more accurate to their home games, SAMUS.

Mega Man for me. It was hype, especially how they handled it by putting after the "normal" trailer so you thought they were done showing off.

Do you guys have characters that you wish were playable in Smash 4?

My list of characters that are in the game yet not playable:

  • Chrom
  • Ridley
  • Waluigi
  • Ashley
  • Shadow
  • Saki
  • Phosphora

The Assist Trophies could make it in as DLC, since Sakurai's team could just disable the coding for their Assist Trophy.

And the following would be DLC:

  • Wolf
  • Snake
  • King K. Rool
  • Dixie Kong
  • Krystal
  • Bomberman
  • Travis Touchdown
  • Ray MK II
  • Isaac
  • Paper Mario
  • Roll

[up][up] Isn't that like half of what any Smash forum on the internet always talks about?

One guy I recently talked with at a convention reckons they should take Snake's moveset and give it to Sami from Advance Wars. Granted, I wouldn't consider Sami to be the face of the series (as I feel that title would go to either Andy or Nell), but it does make the most sense given her look and status as the infantry specialist.

Fully in support of Sami. I like her the most out of the main 3.

I do hope there is at least one character from the ballot picked not necessarily because they received a lot of votes, but because of the responses given why that character should be in.

My favorite trailers were the initial reveal/Villager's, Little Mac's and DH Trio's.

Also, on the point about Mario-related characters with their own game, Bowser and Bowser Jr. <and the Koopalings, for that matter> have yet to have their own games.

Bowser's Inside Story came pretty close though, and it was awesome.

Sunshine was functionally Bowser Jr's story as much as Galaxy was Rosalina's.

The only thing about the former that would have held him back from the rest is that he's never been playable outside of sports.

The ballot isn't a contest of how many votes can a character get. Snake can beat all others in a landslide, and still not be picked. It's just to get an idea of what characters people want to see.

Yeah, I realized Bowser and Jr didn't have their own games after the post, just too lazy to edit it in after the conversation kept moving on.

Still, 9 chars (counting Yoshi) with only 3 not having a game all to themselves is a pretty good ratio.

It'd be neat if Bowser had a more direct game. At least he's playable in some spin-off rpg's. Plus the Mario Karts, one of the Mario Parties, other Mario Sports games...

Shadow?

He was playable in Super Paper Mario too, though I almost exclusively used Mario because I didn't want to miss anything hidden behind the 2d-3d swap.

Easily the best trailer.
Having played the source game, yeah, that's exactly what a fight in Xenoblade sounds like.

It's a pity they didn't throw in a randomized selection of interactions between the Heropon and Herohom for Shulk's Final Smash.

I sure said that!

RE: Snake in Smash Ballot:

Didn't Konami state that they'd like to see Snake return? I think I remember reading that on our own Wiki.

Kojima mentioned it, yes. Konami itself likely couldn't care less outside of free money.

Apparently Nintendo is licensing the Momotaro series from Konami right now, so it's not as impossible as I first thought for them to work out something.

I doubt we can expect anything else Metal Gear from Konami soon, though, even in a collaborative game like Smash.

I don't think Konami will agree unless they can work out exclusive rights to the sexy and bloody new Smash Bros pachinko.

#78075: Aug 13th 2015 at 11:04:24 AM

Oh we're going to see a lot more Metal Gear games in the short-run. Probably farmed out to some western company incapable of doing the series justice, but as long as the brand has value they'll keep being made on a non-premium budget.
