Cool. I was hoping for a debunk pick today, but this is fine too. I liked Ghirahim, he was like Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

The hair looks average to me, the face...I'm not sure. It looks like TP Link's usual face, just slightly different. Also, looking at some pictures from brawl, do you think the problem might be that his eyes are a little too big? Because they do look a little bigger than usual.

I think the hair problem is they are trying to go too realistic and its messing with the classic look.
As someone said, face color looks off as well as eyes being too spread apart.

 

[Oni Link 666]

That Pokemon League stage looks really nice.

 

[Ushojax]

I still can't believe they messed up Link's face so badly.

 

[SCReuter]

I wish Tecmo's modelers could give Sakurai's team some assistance.

Yes please.

 

[PK Gaming]

Link somehow looks creepier

hahaha

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Does he go round stealing players items and using them on them? (I'm braced for generic swordplay but the item stealing would be great)

 

[Diprosalic]

I guess it's better than nothing. We already have 5 Zelda reps.

5?

Link
Zelda
Shiek
Ganondorf (unconfirmed)

How could you forget CDI Link?

Toon Link *sigh*

haha i just figured it out myself and came to check if anyone mocked me.

I'm surprised you guys didn't make a thread for Color-TV Game 15.

I agree pong in smash needs to be addressed

Pong in smash

 

[Kinsei]

Bah, there goes the most likely Zelda newcomer. I'm still holding out hope for Ganon (blue pig with trident) though.

 

[Feltrol]

There goes my dream of him being a Zelda newcomer this time around.

Way to start the day.

 

[Infinite]

I was really hoping he was playable. Zelda villains getting the stiff

 

[zroid]

more disconfirmations

but tbh I never expected him to be playable, so glad he's an AT

 

[Hot Coldman]

Bah, there goes the most likely Zelda newcomer.

That would be Impa.

 

[zroid]

That would be Impa.

 

[Kinsei]

That would be Impa.

I hope not. She'd most likely just be a Sheik clone.

 

[StreetsAhead]

I'm glad ATs are being used to give representation to a wider variety of characters this time around. Brawl felt limited in comparison.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I wanted him playable as well, but if we get Shulk, then I won't be mad. Plus he is playable in Hyrule Warriors, so thats great.

 

[Volotaire]

Looks great, I can't wait to see his assist trophy.

 

[Kouriozan]

This guy just can't keep his tongue in cheek.

That isn't akuma demise

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Link's model is so baaad. He just has a permanent "I am heavily concussed" face.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I wish

I hope not. She'd most likely just be a Sheik clone.

She has seniority from being an NES Zelda character plus appearing in Ocarina, not to mention making a comeback lately in SS and HW, so I think she'd get the rub before second-in-command Zelda villain #12453.

She doesn't have to be a ninja, anyway. Hyrule Warriors decided to give her a massive sword, she looks more like a grappler in OoT, and she's an old woman before that... she's fairly versatile.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Somehow Tecmo Koei did a better job with Ghirahim's model then Sakurai and Smash team does.

 

[Sigismundo]

I hope not. She'd most likely just be a Sheik clone.

Considering the leak has a few clones that sounds pretty likely.

 

[Busaiku]

Darn it, should've been playable.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I was kinda hoping he would be playable, but great to have him nonetheless. He looks great!

 

[Neoxon]

For those holding onto hope for Impa because of that one rumor with Ridley & Dixie...

The original leak with the ESRB stuff (likely ESRB footage as it's missing the 3DS hardware itself) is likely real. The DLC comment from the same person could be real, because he leaked the photos and may have heard from his ESRB friend about the DLC (Nintendo may have also shown off the DLC for ratings). But all this "smash mods say the leaker made stuff up but trust us plz" is just bullshit, and isn't even worth discussing.

 

[The_Intruder]

I'm not holding hope because of this rumor but the trophy theory. And it's the same hope for a new character from metroid.

 

[DedValve]

His neck is brown and face is white.

Whats going on in Hyrule?

 

[Neoxon]

Here's the problem, IF that rumor turns out to be true (again, IF), there won't be anyone new from Zelda or Metroid. They aren't in that picture, and any empty spaces would be occupied by the Mii Fighters & the 5 DLC characters.

Then again, I never put much stock in the Trophy Theory in the first place.

 

[Aβydoς]

I think is one of the best Zelda villains but I never expected him to be playable. Maybe Impa but I don't think so at this point.
I like that Zelda one-offs are becoming assist trophies. Aghanhim next?

 

[Insaniac]

From the main thread:



Ghirahim's finest moment.

Is this from Skyward sword or hyrule warriors? cause he does the dance in Hyrule warriors and I didn't know it was actually originally from SS

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

The character models look off.

And if you have played Fire Emblem Awakening, you should know what the trophy about tiki means, clearly it was a clew that chrom will not be announced. And about palutena, the music was "return of palutena" and the trophy was clearly a troll.
I choose to believe in theory that was validated twice, than a "leak" that comes out of nowhere

 

[sixteen-bit]

Came in expecting the wizard from LttP. I'm bad with names.

We all expected Palutena & an Awakening rep, with or without the Trophy Theory. And yes, I've played Awakening.

 

[User 73706]

[robotzombie]

Eh, I can't see the roster having 2 Shiekahs. I'm not expecting any Zelda newcomers at this point.

Not that I think Impa would be in, but I assure you that no one responsible for creating the game gives a shit about how many Shiekahs are included when planning the roster

 

[The_Intruder]

We all expected Palutena & an Awakening rep, with or without the Trophy Theory. And yes, I've played Awakening.

But this trophy theory about these characters had specific information in it, the music chosen + the trophy, not just one thing and it wasn't coincidental, especially when you have sakurai behind it lol.

Btw I guess we will have an answer very soon.

That's Agahnim, but I think Ghirahim's name (behavior / etc) is a purposeful homage!
