He's arguably one of the most prime I think. I'm still pretty shocked he's not in the game.

Could have been a mixture of focusing on (and failing) to get Pokémon Trainer to work, pushing Greninja and Puff getting first dibs once again. I'm sure Sakurai knows how requested Mewtwo has been, considering how aware he's been of a lot of other things; and I doubt Game Freak will turn away any extra opportunity to have the Pokémon series featured prominently.

 

[Muzy72]

After putting a good chunk of hours into the demo, I feel like Mega Man would be much easier if I had a proper analog stick. Thank goodness for the Wii U version!

Also, only two more days!!!!!

 

[Neiteio]

I'm super-eager to play Bowser Jr. What's the fastest way to unlock him? Beat Classic with Bowser on 7.0 or higher, or something? (Sounds good to me, since that's a sweet-spot for CPU difficulty -- they start reading your inputs after that -- and since Bowser is my favorite veteran, or tied with Mr. Game & Watch, at least)

Isabelle would definitely be one of the less offensive choices for clones. She's not necessary, but would still be a great addition to the cast and a reasonable extension of Animal Crossing's presence. And then we could do this.

Mewtwo definitely seems like DLC Candidate #1. He was probably withheld for DLC because The Pokémon Company loves dat money.

Probably also because he'd be a lot more difficult to implement than a Brawl veteran, and with limited development resources, newcomers would be prioritised. I kind of agree - I'd much rather have Greninja than Mewtwo, in terms of bringing something new to the roster.

Greninja is probably one of my favorite Pokémon, straight up, so I'm definitely thrilled he's on the roster. I wish I could've recorded my face when he was revealed. In Pokémon XY, Protean Greninja was one of my team's most valuable players. Such a joy to play, and such a cool concept for a character. And of course Sakurai incorporated him brilliantly.

 

[Azure J]

I just don't feel like any incarnation of Mewtwo in a Smash game will be better than his Project M incarnation (despite obvious balance issues with how he is currently) and as such, I'm not fully on board the over hype for bringing him back. If he comes back cool, if not I understand as much as it sucks.

Greninja though needs to be a tenured character. That play style and move set combination is fantastic.

He probably won't be as good as PM Mewtwo, but if Link and Ganondorf are any indication, he'll likely still be much more viable than in Melee.

These are keeping me sane.

Greninja is the "Charizard" of Gen 6 (aside from the actual Charizard, lol), and Gen 6 was a big deal with the move to 3D and Mega Evolutions, and the full-circle feel it had with both Gen 6 and Gen 1 starters.

X/Y felt like a landmark title in its own series, and Greninja was at the forefront of that. Since Lucario has stuck around, I'm sure Greninja will, too.

 

[FSLink]

Right now I feel there are much better zoning characters than Megaman though, and his aerials become less effective when people know how to shield correctly. I love using him, but I feel like he's only effective against bad players.

 

[random25]

Is PM Mewtwo really that good? I don't play pro, but PM Mewtwo feels the same as Melee Mewtwo.

attack out of teleport is fucking broken lol.

Don't forget that tail length buff. Shit might as well be a sword with all that reach and priority. :lol

And the multidirectional float.

After much use of Megaman, I agree that he's not a good zoning character. However, I think he is mainly a pressure type, meaning being able to push opponents off the ledge. Top Spin and Slide can push opponents on the side and leaves them airborne if it connects. This provides a lot of opportunities for connecting with his aerials. And his pellets can be a good way to stop opponents on their tracks and pressures them to shield or move back, leaving opportunities for grabs or a timed smash attack, especially that down smash or even the uppercut.

Guess I need to play more PM Mewtwo then lol.

I'm so excited for this!

Can't wait till Friday!

nah I think that's a better description for Ike

 

[DICKS AHOY]

The gap between Japanese and US release was so fucking stupid.

Doesn't even remotely begin to compare to the five month wait PAL regions had for Brawl after it released everywhere else.

 

[J@hranimo]

Gah, I can't believe in two days I'll be able to use characters that aren't: Mario, Link, Pikachu, Megaman, and Villager :O :O :O :O

If you only want to play with him first thats the way. He's a good choice with all his gadgets, not forgetting his awesome advanced tactics.

 

[SirPainsalot]

How the hell did you guys put up with that shit?

He's considered top-tier right now, so yeah.

Adding Isabelle would open the doors to things even I don't want any part of. Her assist trophy thread got locked for a reason.

 

[Gazoinks]

I can actually use characters I want to play! Come to me Robin!

I honestly really want to try almost every new character. More so than Brawl, I think.

 

[SuperSah]

Twoooo dayssss.

Not all Isabelle fans are creepy. Her most recent thread has been fine.

"no"

The mods have the best responses.

if smash could handle the bizarre 'baggage' sonic brings with him, they can handle a bucktoothed dog from a series they already own and pimp out regularly

 

[OmegaSmash]

Man, I haven't heard anything about Samus other than her godly customs.

 

[Gazoinks]

Man, I haven't heard anything about Samus other than her godly customs.

Probably because she's apparently not much good without them.

 

[Crayolan]

Define "fine"

Keep that creepy crap out of here, please. I don't want to have to close another thread due to Isabelle perversions.

SAKURAI LIED TO US AT E3

 

[Golnei]

SAKURAI LIED TO US AT E3

Actually, did we ever get any confirmation as to whether he meant Samus or ZSS?

 

[random25]

SAKURAI LIED TO US AT E3

BUT SAMUS WON AT E3 INVITATIONAL!!!

Spoiler

Zero Suit Samus, that is...

 

[Neiteio]

Define "fine"

Nothing inappropriate or uncomfortable. The only mention of creepy stuff has been people saying "I hope people don't post creepy stuff."

 

[Zubz]

Actually, did we ever get any confirmation as to whether he meant Samus or ZSS?

Yeah... I'm still holding that he might have meant ZSS.

 

[Gazoinks]

Speaking of Samus' customs, I wish her shotgun blast was actually useful. It looks really cool!

I'm probably not going to use it that much, but on my system it'll be tied to the Dark Samus palette on principle.

 

[J@hranimo]

I just read that entire thread.

EmCee's last post is exactly what I think about it....

Glad I'm not the only one who plans on doing this.

 

[Durden77]

Why do so many people hate Fox and Falco's new voices? I actually love Fox's, it reminds me of back when he was more of a nerd in 64. And Falco's I haven't heard enough of yet, but it sounds alright, and I love his chill "FIRE" for his Up B.

 

[L00P]

Gah, I can't believe in two days I'll be able to use characters that aren't: Mario, Link, Pikachu, Megaman, and Villager :O :O :O :O

I never get sick of playing as Mega Man, but I really wanna beat up somebody else other than pikachu

 

[Poltergust]

Actually, did we ever get any confirmation as to whether he meant Samus or ZSS?

I think he specifically mentioned Samus' d-tilt as "a great kill move" or something like that.

Which is sad because it's actually weaker than it is in Brawl now.

Yes, some of Samus' moves got weaker from her Brawl incarnation, where she was the worst character in terms of kill power.

 

[Azure J]

Speaking of Samus' customs, I wish her shotgun blast was actually useful. It looks really cool!

I hope someone finds a way to make her turbo missiles good.

 

[J@hranimo]

Haha I'm watching Jed05's stream and the way the announcer says "Jigglypuff" made me chuckle.

 

[garginator850]

Quick question: Is this for sure coming out at midnight in the eShop?

 

[MagnetoWned]

2 more days

 

[Crayolan]

So Jed just confirmed no Japanese language switch in the localized version on stream. :/

Also some other voice stuff:
-Male Robin says "Let's tip the scales" instead of "Time to tip the scales"
-Meta Knight's voice is weeeeeird and really deep. Maybe just it's just in the european version.
-Sonic lost "You're too slow!" and "Now I'll show you!", replaced by (welp, I forgot the first one) and "Super Sonic Style!"
-Falco has a new taunt "GET SOME!" His VA is really meh though. Again, the VA could just be a european version thing.
-Fox's VA is garbage
-Pit has a really good VA. Haven't played Uprising but I'll assume it's the same guy from there. "The fight is on!" line is gone though, which is weird because I'm pretty sure the Japanese version retained it.
-Shulk's VA sounds really off on some lines, not like in the trailer or the games
-The poledance giggle sounds even creepier in english
-Marth is still Japanese
-Dark Pit sounds like an edgy teenager. Is he supposed to sound like this?

Pretty much

Half of Robin's alt variations are now completely worthless. Thanks Sakurai.
