You know, I didn't know how much I wanted Lucina in this game until I saw her in the game.

To be honest I might not be totally irate that Isaac won't be in now that I have the amazing Lucina.

She looks fantastic and if she is a faster version of Marth I will swoon.
 
I suck at bingo.

Since people are complaining about title, then I will give people a fair chance to revote for new title of this thread.

Please pick all good subtitles, including this thread's title and put up a poll. I will private message a moderator to change the title tonight.
 
Looking at a bit closer I'd say for Robin's moves, Thunder and its variations are a chargeable standard B, Elwind is the up b, Arcfire is the side b, Levin Sword is summoned with Down B and Nosferatu is the grab attack

Is changing the 10 to an X also up for debate?

I can't process all of this. I still think Shulk and Chorus Kids are coming and that Sal's source is legitimate, but obviously something's up.

Has there been any roster-screen mockups that are actually realistic and legit-looking, and not just bullshit wishful-thinking fan-wank? I'm honestly curious.
 
I wonder if Robin's magic tome use get reset upon death or does it apply over the course of the match. If its upon death then it isn't really a big deal but if it applies the whole match that might change people's playstyles.

I want to believe that there was something more elaborate behind the scenes, with what the 99% confidence that the Monolith Guys retweeting and whatnot.


These past three days have certainly been very fun.

with a question mark?

I thought that was so funny HAHA. The trailer itself was like "Right right Chr- wha-huh Lucina?"
 
I just asked this on the old thread, but we moved on so quickly. So I'll ask again here.

What's up with so many of the new women's faces? Lucina and Palutena especially are really inexpressive and off putting. They look really unfinished, and maybe that's because they are, but why would they be in such a rough state this far into development?

Does anybody who knows better than me have any comforting words?

How awesome would it be if you could cancel the falcon punch into a roll like in the trailer.


It would be a brilliant tool for falcon for just baiting the shit out of people.

... The joy... The joy ;_; Lucina is in, Robin is an awesome fighter/mage, and Captain Falcon is downright badass in that trailer. Fantastic, just fantasic.

His info's old, he thought Chrom was a newcomer when he still makes an appearance and he doesn't have all the info.

It's not a big deal.

Same. Heath, you know what to do!

Also, why does it say:

Probably because the developers believed she was unexpected. As in "What? Lucina?! But we already have Marth, no way!"

At least that's the way I took it.
 
I wouldn't put it past him.

*Meanwhile, at Mother Base, on the dark side of the moon*

SAKURAI:

"It appears they've fallen for the Gematsu leak. Well-done, Sakur-cat."

*Sakur-cat looks up from an email he's writing to Sal and gives Sakurai a thumbs-up using a robotic thumb appendage*

SAKURAI:

"Now we need people to be doubly certain Monday will show Shulk. Monolith Soft Bros, retweet the announcement!"

"And now... We play the waiting game."

This is what gets me. It seems like he is definitely referencing the leak. Why did the Xenoblade writer tweet this particular announcement if Shulk wasn't in it? It seems like misdirection.

The trailer start with Chrom on the ground already knocked out. He can't even get up at the end and says how maybe next time is his chance. Why the focus on Chrom being completely out unless it was directed at the leak.

Then the leaker sends an e-mail the night before assuring the a specific character will be revealed adding to the Shulk confirmation. Why this trailer does he go all in.

As insane as this sounds it's seem there is too much evidence that Sakurai knows what was leaked and is going against it.

Most of them look better on 3DS compared to Wii U, so perhaps development time is an issue. Either they'll be polished up a little before the console release, or be thrown on the jank pile with Link and Fox. Either way, it shouldn't be too noticeable in actual matches.
 
Same. Heath, you know what to do!

I almost have to wonder if Sakurai deliberately mislead everyone into thinking it was Shulk (even if that means secretly being the leaker, telling the Xenoblade devs to retweet the announcement, etc.), and the "?!" was deliberately there to refer to everyone's defied expectations.
