Super Smash Bros.

[Hikaru Okami]

Potential 48 characters and you still won't add tales? Fine, I see how it is...

 

[DrDingo]

I dunno about that dude, we're talking about a game with Sonic in it.

Pika-spam is, undoubtedly, the way to go if you want to annoy your friends on Smash Bros.
"Pika-chuuu!" "Pika-chuuu!" "Pika-chuuu!" "Pika-chuuu!" . . .

Watch as they add Shadow the Hedgehog instead and listen to the cries of a thousand butthurt fans V:

 

[DrDingo]

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I'd rather not have them go crazy with loads of third party characters.

 

[GarthTheWereWolf]

The only third party character that ever bothered me was Snake. Design wise he just stuck out like a sore thumb compared to all the other characters, but yea I'd prefer they load up on more of their own intellectual property instead. Bring back Mewtwo damn it! >:[

[size=-2]And make him less floaty and with more power[/size]

 

[Stratelier]

I'd rather they put Sceptile in (with Mega Sceptile Final Smash). OR/AS relevance, and rounds out a starter trio. But obviously what's in is in, it's too close to release for any new twists that weren't already in development for months.

 

[Alastair Snowpaw]

at this point the only thirdish party character I would want would be bayonetta, though at this point she's kind of like second party. Also somehow fitting an advance wars character in.

 

[SirRob]

Sakurai specified that this was designed by a female.

 

[Distorted]

-_- ................Riiiiiiiight

 

[RedLeFrench]

To be fair, it is a throwback to Zero Mission and older Metroid games, where you had her in "Zero-suit" when you completed the games. It clearly was made for flimsy purposes at the time and it kinda is a shame they have to bring up justifications for that choice (then again, I'm not totally for this alt costume, but whatever)

 

[SirRob]

I. Would LOVE. If Fox got a bikini alt.

Edit: WITH A BULGE

 

[SkyboundTerror]

Tecmo rubbed off on them, I think.

Charizard better get a pink bow as an alt costume. I want to play as Mega Charla X.

 

[RedLeFrench]

Edit: WITH A BULGE

*tries to picture it* erm... Nope. Seems my brain managed to do an emergency shutdown right on time.

Also, Metroid on the NES was waaaaaaay worse than this alt in terms of cloth to skin ratio, so I'd say they kinda backed out a lil' bit ♪

Roster may have been spoiled completely, you've been warned--

It matches up with an earlier leak from a fairly credible source, and I really doubt someone could produce new (believable) images for all the spoiled characters in between the time that leak surfaced and what we're being shown.

I still believe the Gematsu leaker was legitimate as well;

Spoiler

If Ice Climbers are cut due to development issues, it makes sense that the Chorus Men met the same fate.

 

[SkyboundTerror]

Is that dog the dog I think it is?

... I'm okay with this.

[SirRob]

I finally found it! This leak also confirms some of the information found here-- (spoilers) http://i.imgur.com/EEMDHp8.jpg

Specifically:

Spoiler

Each character has 8 different costumes/color swaps
Alph from Pikmin 3 takes up 4 of Olimar's costumes
Gaur Plains (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dy74NOzcS8) is a stage
Shulk can switch his Monado between 5 modes that differ in damage dealt and damage taken
Bowser Jr. fights in the Koopa Clown Car (which does most of the attacking, it seems) and his alts are all the Koopalings (Which means I get to own people as Lemmy in Smash, too)
Duck Hunt Dog fights with the ducks on his back, which assist him in battle

 

[RedLeFrench]

If this happens to be true, I'll be quite happy with the newest wacky character. Then again, the leak would come from a guy who got a review copy (and considering the game comes out in 3 weeks in Japan, that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest Nintendo already handed them out) and that is quite a shame...

>no wolf

Welp

 

[SirRob]

I'm sad, but it's sort of a miracle he got into Brawl in the first place, anyway.

 

[Imperial Impact]

Maybe for dlc?

 

[Alastair Snowpaw]

I'm going to hold my reservations about whether that is real or not.

 

[SirRob]

Stinks that today just so happened to be a day where Sakurai didn't reveal anything new..
