I think it was a snowball effect from Brawl. People were insane for Brawl, and with each new reveal being bombs left and right, anything seemed possible. Every few weeks, the Dojo was making people's dreams come true. From there Geno developed a following that has stuck around.
Enough of a following that we later found out he actually considered Geno, and also gave him a Mii costume.
It's 100% nostalgia. As someone who played Mario RPG when I was 17, that game is very overrated and not as good as Paper Mario 1/2 or even some of the Mario and Luigi games.
Maybe because I played it after Chrono Trigger, but I thought it was just okay.

Who cares about Fountain of Dreams, it's not taunt cancelling.
The BLADE organisation uses a Monado as its logo in X, so it'd still fit. I still don't think she'd be all that great a choice in general, though - Xenoblade is fine with a single character, and she's not terribly interesting. What sort of unique gameplay gimmick would really justify her inclusion?
I'd welcome either, but I'll forever mourn the impossibility of Amaterasu.

Ignoring Chrono Trigger, I feel the same way. I didn't play CT until years later...and it was the PSX version rip
it was still amazing though
Give me Edea Lee for a square rep.
I want to fight people with a Ninja Pirate Swordmaster Black Mage Monk Night Thief.
Also Bravely Music would be the best thing ever

If we get a second Square Enix rep should be from Dragon Quest. We have the big Square franchise in it so now we need the big Enix franchise in it.
Haha, what? Why?

Alex is the official 3rd Strike rep, he has been for several games now. I'd eat my hat if he ever showed up in Smash though.
He represents the new generation of Street Fighter, & has proven to be a fan-favorite.
Even Ono didn't know that Alex was popular in the west.
Until now, hence why Alex was the first character added to SFV as DLC. His subtitle is "The Shoulders Bearing the New Generation" for a reason.

That doesn't really matter. The second Sega rep is from a niche game series, versus someone from much larger and a more well known Sega series.
That's because the west is convinced that 3rd Strike is a good game
Yeah. And they're correct.
Being a Ballot Winner may mean Bayonetta is an exception though. Not guaranteed, but certainly a possibility.
That's Sakurai's job. If he wanted to, he could try to implement Overdrive as a mechanic, but Bayonetta has already filled the gunslinger slot.
They're not wrong. Hell, it's the best game in the series.That's because the west is convinced that 3rd Strike is a good game
There are so many Square/SE games on Nintendo platforms I'd love to see get some musical representation - Bravely Default, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, TWEWY and SMRPG are just the first ones that come to mind.
I guess that's the good thing about being able to mod the game. For official entries, I'd just be happy with more than two FF tracks.

A weapon swapping gimmick could be neat. Half of her specials could be gun related, the other half twin blade related, doing them switches what weapon she has out and affects some of her normal moves.
Better than Corrin's poorly utilized visual transformation gimmick.

I wonder if Nintendo gets offers from other company's about putting their characters in Smash.
I know Ubi has to had offer Rayman.

Didn't Sakurai get approached for Snake and Sonic in melee but it was too late? I would assume with Brawl having 3rd parties be a big deal smash 4 had even more people ask.
EDIT maybe it was just Snake and not sonic.

I will get back to you on that tomorrow if they announce starter pokemon.
Did they recast Shulk for Smash Bros 4?
It's Smash Bros Community Thread, and answer your question, I'm pretty sure we are talking about Smash NX. It's like hope for the best but expect for the worst here.
Wow, another SmashGAF upcoming game discussion thread eh?
.
In a sense, yes.
It's Smash Bros Community Thread so we can talk about anything that are Smash related and Sakurai-related.MrSaturn99

after cloud and bayonetta, I'm ready for ANYTHING
Bring on Geno and Banjo!
Bring on Geno and Banjo!
In response to your last sentence, this is what she said:
My interpretation is different from yours. She sounds pretty sarcastic especially towards the end. Also, she also jokingly called Commander Vandham "Colonel Square-tache" right before going into war. She does have a sense of humor, she just doesn't overdo it like Lin.
I personally enjoyed her heart-to-hearts. Perhaps her personality wasn't obvious, but that's simply how she is.
Anyway, I'm sure Elma's personality will really shine in a direct sequel if that's what Monolith Soft are working on.

No, he just believes that any union voice actors wouldn't return even though that's never happened except for random Assist Trophies with 2 lines.
They could also incorporate a sort of stance system to change between ranged and melee weapons, a TP gauge which affects available specials, or even do something with Skells, through Blodia/Wicked Weave summoned limbs or more of a Stand kind of deal.
Still, each of those is covered in some way by existing characters; and without being all that unique in terms of potential moveset as well as not being the most distinctive or popular character, I'm remaining doubtful about what she'd bring to the roster.
No, but Melia's actress is a high-profile actress who's just getting off of Doctor Who.
"Returned"?

Greninja/Ash Fusion for a new Final Smash?
It's better than the generic "Secret Ninja Attack" but it's pretty weird, and I don't know if they'd make such a big change to a character for the NX port.

It's still a shame they didn't go all out with music for the third party DLC character's aside from Bayo.
This is especially dissapointing for me because I started playing FF7 after Cloud was revealed and learned how amazing the music was for the entire FF series. Midgar's song selection is so much worse for me because of it.
Square has so much amazing music Sakurai why could yo only get two of them that aren't even remixes ;_;
balladofwindfishes
Member
I doubt the music on Midgar was Sakurai's decision.
I think that might have been the intention for all of them, but they were forced to scale back due to licensing/legal issues - it does seem like Bayonetta was a lot easier to work with than other third-party IPs.
I don't think she's totally flat, but they definitely need to do a lot of work to give her some explicit development if she returns to anchor a future game - she has potential for a decent arc, but it needs to be properly explored.
That seems like the most solid choice to differentiate her, but at the same time it's something that could be adapted to multiple potential newcomers.

The credits for the Bayo 2 songs in Sound Test says Nintendo has the rights to them, which probably made it painless to throw a ton of them in.

It never ended in first place because of Dr. Serkan Toto's twitter happens during Smash DLC so yeah.
Yeah, I think some music licenses were expensive.
And even bayo didn't get vocals on her GOAT song ;_;

Here's another neat alt I downloaded. It's Mario's old Jumpman colors.
It's hammer time!
Game Over
Little Mac and Mario in their primordial states
Prior to Smash 4, Smash always had a Jumpman costume but unlike the mod above it made Mario's cap blue instead of red, probably for visual clarity to distinguish it more from Mario's default attire. Tis a shame they got rid of it in Sm4sh.
Man, it's really nuts how we can add additional alt costumes without replacing old ones so easily. The Project M team struggled and had to come up with special coding to extend the amount of pallate swaps characters could have in Brawl. According to That Smash 4 Modder, we can have up to a whopping 263 alts for each character. Holy fuck.
Makes me wonder if Sakurai was planning on additional downloadable character costumes beyond the Miis at some point.

ugh

I mean, Sakurai took Rosalina and made a puppeteer out of her, gave Robin consumable weaponry and stances to Shulk. If there was a need for Elma to be in Smash, they would definitely give her something interesting.

Certainly looks like they set it up just in case they wanted to do so in the future.
Everything about Smash 4 seems to have been designed to be as flexible and fluid as possible.
The latter part is where most of my doubt is.
Well, Melia isn't ever going to be in Smash anyway aside from being a trophy.Nothing to worry about.
They'll have no choice but to give her decent plot development since Takahashi wants to return to a more story-rich game like the original.

I just want to see all the alternate costumes/characters in Smash 4 like Alph, Female Robin, etc get about four additional alt costumes each. During an 8-player match you can have eight wireframe Little Macs out at once but only four Olimars and four Male WFTs.
I think Bowser Jr. deserves like 7 or more palettes that have him actually be Bowser Jr. The Koopalings being alts are cool, but the character is supposed to predominately be based on well, Bowser Jr. and his appearances in the Koopa Clown Cart in the NSMB games...and yet he's only there 1/8th of the time.

It's really hard for me to get excited for this. I have no doubt that it's real, but I think it'll be more or less a straight port of Wii U with all of the DLC. If we're lucky, the 3DS features will be in too.

Throw some 3DS stages in there as well and we're set.

If the port can be the 3DS and WiiU versions combined, that will entice me somewhat.
But if it's just a GOTY version I can easily wait. I think it really just depends on who they're going to try and market to. All smash fans, just hardcore who will need the newest version, or just those who missed out on the WiiU.
