Rosalina AND LUMA Confirmed For Smash Bros!

They do look pretty similar.

The average smash fan is probably just going to refer to her as the blue peach or blue princess.

Do you realize what the problem with this image is? If you actually removed the dresses and hair, they would actually look more dissimilar than they do in that picture, because the dresses obscure their figures pretty heavily. Rosalina is more slender than Peach and Daisy, especially across the shoulders, has a smaller cup size, a smaller torso, and longer legs. She also has shorter arms, which I guess makes since with the smaller torso. But the dresses actually obscure a lot of the differences. Anyway, I have no trouble telling the three characters apart, even in silhouette, but whatever, this argument is stupid.

Considering that Rosalina and Piece both are wearing their dresses and aren't bald in Smash, there is no point in doing a silhouette comparison of them without their dresses and hair.

Clothes are a part of character design and matter for silhouettes. For example, the Demoman in Team Fortress 2 looks like an inverted triangle because of his body armor.
 
Daisy could be added as the perfect fusion of every spinoff in which she appears, and so she doesn't clash with the other princesses, she should indeed have her Strikers Charged Outfit.



Our tomboy princess needs to enter the fray!
 
Uh... apart from the hair and crown, Rosalina's dress silhouette and color are vastly different from Peach.

And why are we arguing their similarities when we've always had these two?

According to the Dark Samus discussion from the Smash thread... Yes. -__-
 
Who said anything about waifus? King K Rool is an awful character. There's a reason he disappeared from DKC after Rare stopped making the games.
I was joking because you were talking about how fat and ugly he was.

I don't really care about King K Rool one way or another. I feel like Dixie Kong is a more likely newcomer since she's actually in the new game.
 
Daisy would be an awesome catch-all representative for the Mario spin-offs. She's been in nearly all of them. Best of all, if this were the idea behind her, she could wear her battle armor from Strikers. :-O

But I don't expect her. I'd actually be quite alright with Rosalina & Luma being the only Mario newcomer.

Something about this post really creeps me out.

But does she have sharp knees?

This is important, she needs to be on par with Captain Falcon.
 
Because edgy isn't bad and Fist of the Mad Max Soccer is a concept that mario can't even mess up.

i have no issue with "edgy sports" or anything like that, mutant league is good fun

it's more that it fit way better with mario series than i could've ever expected. it had the potential to do away with all charm the series had, but retained it so well.
 
For newcomers, it looks like every trailer will be, and I love it:

  • The initial reveal had some folks thinking it was Animal Crossing (assuming they missed the imagery of the introduction transition)
  • The Wii Fit Trainer introduction had everyone thinking it was for Wii Fit U
  • Well, you saw the Rosalina trailer.

The Rosalina trailer had my mind especially all over the place. I went from thinking it was a new Galaxy game to thinking it was a new Kirby Air Ride, to thinking that Kirby was being brought into Mario Kart, and in fact it only clicked that it was a Smash trailer the instant after the "Launch into Battle!" title card disappeared.

I love these fake-out trailers too; this one is by far the best. The music/timing was just done too well, like hearing the rev of those engines while the Air Ride opening is getting good. They should continue the trend.

Really, this was the best way to show off Rosie.
 
What I don't get is why people would rather have two Mary-Sue characters like Peach and Rosalina instead of a strong, confident woman like Daisy.

Didn't you played Mario Galaxy ?

Rosaline jumped on
a BLACK FUCKING HOLE
like it was just another thursday =P

Rosalina is LEGIT !

She even loves Starfy ! >=O
 
She seems like such a nonviolent character. Definitely unlockable. Imagine, in Classic mode, fighting Giant Rosalina. Or Metal Rosalina. It's so strange, but true.

Retained it? It gave Daisy and Waluigi actual enjoyable personalities. That's an achievement in itself.
 
Isn't there anyone who likes both Rosalina and Daisy? No worry, Daisy will have her fame in the inevitable and hilariously aggressive Mario Strikers 3 that will be announced in the first 2014 Direct.
 
Luma is getting more Smash love than Toad. Think about this for a minute, people!

Toad is boring as hell so I don't care.

Don't really care for Rosalina's inclusion either, I thought she'd serve better as an alt for Peach and to give Mario some Galaxy moves to change him up a bit but I'm fine with Rosalina+ Luma team up.

Still waiting for Little Mac, Isaac and Ray 01 though :C.

Everybody wants Mario, Pokemon and Zelda unfortunately.
 
The most ridiculous thing I've seen in this thread is the suggestion that King K. Rool should take precedent over Rosalina. I can't be the only one who thought he was the lamest villain Nintendo (or should I say Rare?) has ever concocted. He's nothing more than fat, hideous alligator with a bad pun for a name.
Because obviously Rosalina has so much more personality and creativity put into her design.

The fact K. Rool is probably going to miss out on yet another Smash Bros. game is an absolute disgrace. He's far more iconic and well known than fucking Rosalina. He should have been in Brawl. At least Dixie will probably make it.
 
I'm complaining about new characters! Why are there new characters?! I don't want new characters in my smash bros. And it called bros..... Should be just mario and luigi tbh. Actually luigi's just a clone so mario only. And Goku. But no one else. Because my opinions are more important.

Yes,

It seems that a bit more thought was put into who she is, rather than crocodile pirate number 186.

A lot of rare designs are generic. Hell would say most of them.

There were and are not good at designing characters

I like the idea of Daisy being the Mario Sports representative for Smash. Have her swing a baseball bat, golf club, kick soccer balls - her final smash could be a barrage of Mario Karts.

But I think it's safe to say Rosalina will be the only new Mario series representative. Maybe we'll get Dixie Kong, but that's a stretch.

HAHAHA that's good
