Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

How does this argument justify that though? Captain Falcon is never seen fighting in basically any way, aside from like one punch he throws in the anime which was clearly based on Smash's rendition of him.

Lucina is seen fighting, the first thing she tries to do is to pass herself off as Marth and then after she drops it they say she fights exactly like Chrom. Why in gods earth would you want a character like that? She has basically no original qualities and isn't even the protagonist of the game. People calling for her to replace Marth are nuts, but now she's supposed to replace one of the few characters from her game that actually matter to the plot and have possibility of being unique? Only thing she'd got going for her is that she can also wield lances, which Chrom can also do and is the main lord of Awakening.

So why not invent a completely new moveset for her? Why bother honestly? Like I said before she's not important to the game like Chrom is, she could easily be an alt for Marth if people are so desperate for her to be in the game, and anything "unique" would just not be staying true to the character which is just even worse.

Not important to the game? Wat
I don't even know how you can diminish her role in the plot.
You can say Chrom isn't important to the game and only Robin was in that case.

Luigi's moveset is very similar to Mario's. But they manage to differentiate the two. The same can be done to Lucina. Even if she is said to have an identical style to Chrom in game story, this doesn't mean its not impossible to tweak her moveset so that it is in her own unique style. And if Ike can be tweaked and still be true to his character, then so can Lucina.
And why does it only have to stick to what is said in story and not in game? She has a number of skills that Chrom can't get. In the beginning of the game, yeah, she has similar moves to Chrom. Why can't Sakurai pull from end game Lucina where she will have a wealth of new moves she could've learned in the course of the story? That is still technically true to her character because its the same Lucina who just learned more from her time in the present.

Except for the fact that a lot of newcomers for Smash 4 are very close to their game origins. Just look at Villager and Megaman.

Sakurai wouldn't let that be a limitation. He will take liberties when needed. After all, I don't remember being able to ride a rocket-powered Gyroid with my Villager in the Animal Crossing games.

Or WiiFit Trainer! Or Greninja! Or Rosalina and Luma! Or Little Mac!

Oh wait, all of those characters received new and tweaked abilities to help them adapt to Smash Bros.

For staters you have Shulk and Pac-Man on there which anyway puts it as ridiculous. I see no Isaac, no King Rool/Dixie (unless I'm seeing wrong), no retro-character from the Wii Era (Quote or Curly Brace), and no fun picks at all like Okami or Viewtiful Joe (since you're using 3rd Party characters not owned by Nintendo.) Overall this is generic and rather boring.

You didn't pay much attention to it, did you?

Also Shulk and Pacman being ridiculous? There's a very credible leak with both of them in. No offence but half of what you said is beyond improbable. If anything my roster is a little too bold, I put in some characters that don't have that great of a chance.

Yeah, I'm hoping they make it in, but it's looking pretty unlikely at this point... Maybe it's because of 3DS limitations? Or having 4 FE character would be a lot I guess.


Well you called two characters that are going to be in the game ridiculous additions. If you're fine with them being in there regardless, I guess you'll be fine.

Can't tell if you're playing along with my joke, or misreading it.

Wait, Tiki was one of the "troll" trophies in the Diect, right?

What if all the 'troll' trophies were actual playable characters. Tiki, Fi, Pseudo Palutena, and King Kihunter, all playable :p

You may want to read this.

And while K. Rool and Dixie are not exactly out of left field, there's next to no evidence that either one will be playable.

Well then I was looking at an old image or something for I didn't see them. Still most of these selection from those leaks are barely believable. Especially with regarding how Lord Sakurai likes to do things. We'll see at E3.

When you say things like that people are going to dismiss you as a crazy person.

Just like how Wii Fit Trainer was unbelievable? Just like how Villager was unbelievable after Sakurai shot him down years ago?

I'm going to be stuck on the character select screen forever now, completely incapable of choosing between Mega Man, Mac, Dedede, Ike, and Captain Falcon.

If Palutena does join then all hope is lost for me on ever starting a game.

No idea if anyone has said this in this thread or not:

GRAINS OF SALT THIS IS A RETAILER

spelbutiken.se (swedish online retailer) expects Smash 3DS to release July 25th (they also include the date in their print adverts)

date online:
https://www.spelbutiken.se/catalog/product/81500-super-smash-bros

spelbutiken is pretty big
Click to expand...

Cool, seems like a reasonable release, but it's probably still a guess. July is the 'stereotypical' summer month. I'm anticipating September 20th (last official day of summer in the US), so that if anything earlier is announced, i'll be happy :p

Shulk and Issac as well, at this piont I'll even take Felix just as long as Golden Sun gets a rep, they deserve it.

I do find it weird that sakurai settled on making issac at AT, making a moveset should be relatively easy, he must have been a character that didnt make it in due to crunch time so sakurai settled for AT

Given the response to Fire Emblem Awakening, I'm sure there will be one more representative

I also want to point out that Chrom has a White cape, Marth has a blue cape, and Ike has a red cape, obviously this can be changed with alt colors but by default when they have their backs to the player (none of them would be mirrored) they'd have a unique color/design on their capes.

I honestly think the reason is simply that Golden Sun is a C tier Nintendo series. Same reason Starfy isn't playable.

It's probably because it's not a particularly well-selling or -reviewing series. The first two Golden Suns are minor cult classics.

Isaac has a chance, but it's not a strong one, in my opinion.

It's early and I'm doing multiple things on a mobile device that won't load this properly guess that was my first problem. I'm just tired of seeing all these rumors getting thrown around and people instantly believing them. I see no creditable however but some shady photos and asupposed thread going up before that Smash Direct fire Greninja abs Charizard. And what's wrong with being crazy? = w =

Wii Fit Trainer from Nintendo's most successful Era in modern times and maybe perhaps forever? If time was taken to truly discuss her her probability would've been higher.

No, this is the kind of stuff that makes you sound crazy. Not the missing K. Rool stuff. If you have no idea what people are talking about, look into it before dismissing it. The problem with being crazy is that people won't take anything you say seriously and will probably just ignore you. If that's okay with you, feel free to keep it up ^_^

When Ike was announced playable on Brawl I was like "oh, that Fire Emblem guy from that game I bought and never played." Now I'm like "YES!!!! Ike is back!!! In your face naysayers!"
