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

This is, like, exactly my roster, minus Tingle and plus Dixie Kong! I like it! lol
Still going strong. More than 48 characters, believe!
Here's my updated roster with Ike's reveal:

Wolf or Lucas for sure
And I'd pick Wolf as while I prefer him to Lucas you'd still get 2 sf reps and 2 mothers reps which seems fair/balanced
Honestly I don't see either being cut at this point
I think a more likely (and more palatable) alternative is that you'll have the ability to make a complete custom moveset with a character, say Mario, built into the game. You figure out your moves, load that moveset onto your figure, and then bring it to a friends house to play with.
I think they're gonna get a lot of heat if anything significant is completely locked to figurines.
They can be used online against friends.
Some people pointed out that they are Figma figurines. Some of which Sakurai showed off on Twitter.

Thank you but I always think that 3 weeks is one of my best work! XD
Oh no
Lol, interesting.

I'd be down with that, I just kinda want something entirely unique for the figure characters even if it's just cosmetic.
I'm out of the loop, Figma?
And I personally wouldn't have a beef with my friends using anything like that, but whatever.
The really exciting thing about NFC figures for me isn't even the connectivity stuff, I'm just happy about the prospect of lesser known characters gettin' some cool collectible merch. I'd buy a Captain Falcon figurine even if it had nothing to do with Smash Bros.
I think they'll do something with the figurines, to give them some more value. I personally expect exclusive trophies. Instant character unlocks are a good idea too, assuming they don't artificially increase the requirements to crazy levels. Exclusive costumes might be neat, but then you start to run the risk of angering people who don't want to buy Nintendo toys.

The only reason C Falcon will get a figure is because of Smash
But you can save data on a wii-mote. Why would they not just do that?
It already released to the public like last year to three years.
My god, --quick, someone crack one of them open!

Oh man, last page already.
I wonder if we'll get to thread 10 by the time the 3DS version comes out.

I own that yoshi figure. In fact I have a mini smash toy collection at home.

I think it's plausible for NFC because it's a good middle ground between a major element of the game which would be inappropriate to lock behind NFC (e.g., a character or a stage) and something so trivial it isn't worth the money (e.g., a trophy.) I wouldn't be okay with this, but I think it makes sense, at least from a business point of view. Myself, I hope NFC i limited to palette swaps or something of that nature.
Ah, I don't remember that one offhand; I'll have to go back and look. I like this one because of the colors and the gif ends at exactly the right time - just when the camera zooms out after the high five
I'm with you there. I don't really care about online, but most matches I play are going to be with the standard characters/rules.
I don't support any of the game being locked into downloadable content or figures, but the special move customization is something minor enough that I wouldn't really mind. Better that than characters or costumes. Trophies would be even better for the figures though.
Thanks! =D I think tomorrow's is even better... ;D

They're entirely dependent on their grabs, without the grabs they're really bad. They're grapplers. Grabs go through shields and can't be teched like in other fighting games so ou don't need a special b move.What? You're crazy.
We need that character who has a b move that can go through a shield. Unless there is and i'm completely out of the loop on things.
You have no sense of humor. It's saying "It's been a year, and we're still wasting this much time talking about it" or, "We've spent a ear talking about this shit and we're still not done". You might not have picked up on the humor because it wasn't aimed at small children.

Sounds like a job for a Belmont.
Yeah, they're not NFC because I already own most of them, lol.

It's not plausible. Nintendo doesn't seem like the kind of company to make anything substantial unlockable through purchases outside of the game and console itself.
Part of it would admittedly just be the novelty of it. Kids love having "Their own" skylander that contains the choices they've made in regards to leveling up. It gives them a sense of ownership that even goes beyond just a stuffed animal or action figure.
Another thing is that these toys are meant to work across different games, so a Yoshi figurine could carry data for your smash bros. Yoshi, your Mario Kart Yoshi, etc, so the clarity of knowing all that info is on a specific toy certainly has some appeal, and might be easier to remember than "did I have that info on the blue wiimote or the red one?"

I will post a new thread after we hit 20,000. Someone requested for only one smash thread to able to hit 20,000. I would like to respect that.

I'm down with that. He'd be a more appropriate 3rd-party character than Pac-Man.

Look at kid icarus uprising. Nothing in that game can't be unlocked by just playing the game long enough. Same goes for brawl. He won't lock actual game content behind NFC.
Even DLC.
The figures might not be able to be sold worldwide. They're not going to lose money due to supply constraints and legal limitations.

Legal Limitations like Europe right? I can't help but recalled that part with other concepts right?

Yeah, but you're acting as if that's how they were made in mind. That just became a thing of abuse once people figured out how they can do certain things with that.
With that logic, everyone in the game is a grappler because they can grab.
This is, like, exactly my roster, minus Tingle and plus Dixie Kong! I like it! lol
Here's my updated roster with Ike's reveal:
Great minds...
You have fancy graphics on your side though!
I would be totally ok with Tingle anyway.

Everyone else sucks without their grabs? I don't think so....
his point wasn't that the Ice Climbers have grabs, but that they rely on them more than any other character
Prolly and hopefully this

Really like these, and would be more than happy with them, the Tingle version especially.
Really wish the Chorus Kids didn't get possibly leaked, they would've been a great surprise out of nowhere.

Well, I would like to see Marth without grab.

It kinda rubs me the wrong way that this is probably information that could be stored on a wii remote...bygones I guess.

A grappler is someone who primarily relies on his/her grabs to win, not just someone who "has grabs".

Sooo... Mario? Only?

We need a true grappler, let that be Bowser. Lol.
such a difficult concept to grasp

They were clearly made with that in mind. They're balanced around those grabs. That's also why both Melee and Brawl have the incredibly broken grab combos and why it wasn't 'fixed' for Brawl like Fox's reflector tricks were. It's the major strength of the character, they're grapplers.
If it was abuse, Sakurai would have tweaked it for Brawl. Instead it's back and more powerful than ever lol.
