Now just need to wait out the last ones for glorious Captain Falcon.

[I'M FINISHED!]

Ike can now body slam Andre the Giant.

 

[ErichWK]

I GUESS I WILL SUBSCRIBE

 

[Axass]

Did the guy who made the wallpaper with all the playable characters on it ever come back?

 

[Takashi]

There is no amount of total revealed. And it's looking like this will have a bit more characters from Brawl, but we don't know if characters will end up being cut.

Cool, thanks. That makes sense cause I couldn't think of how it would have less than Brawl if there are already 4 characters from Pokemon alone.

Spoiler

I doubt Jiggly would get cut

 

[friskykillface]

wooo new thread
still no captain falcon :'(

I now see King K Rool being a stage boss for a king k rool ship stage, the one from the end of DKC 1
L but at least he will get in the game

 

[IntelliHeath]

20k posts!

Thanks! I wasn't sure if cap the thread as kill the thread or so.

This might have been mentioned earlier, but Marth being a bit quicker than in Brawl and Ike being beefed up makes me think Sakurai is trying to pull those two farther apart from one another in order to make room for Chrom as the “average” middle ground character.

I would like to think so.

Nice list Heath!

Thanks for the lists, Heath!

Thanks!

Hopefully Ike didn't gorilla press slam his progress.

Yo Heath, do you mind putting a link to all those lists in the OP? Would come in handy.

It has been in OP ever since Thread 7.

The polar bear from Ice Climber is confirmed for Smash Run.

Playable franchises such as playable items, assist trophies, characters and stages.

Haha, good one.

Nope.

I think he posted in the last thread for Ike's announcement. Couldn't tell you how many pages back at this point, though.

Oh man, I never noticed. I feel like an idiot! xD

Thanks for the correction. I updated the list.

That's Sponge. He's talking about theCongressman1.

No worries, we have too much contents in the thread.

Great minds...

You have fancy graphics on your side though!

I would be totally ok with Tingle anyway.

I actually had Dixie Kong on my previous rosters as an alternate choice to King K. Rool, too! (I'd love to see both, but sadly I don't see that happening.)

I cant help it. Stupid smash bros hype

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I don't see why you can't include Smash Run enemies.

 

[georly]

True players main Random Select.

I'm not even that good, but if i play one of my mains in my home, everyone gets mad because it's almost a guaranteed win, even with items. I'm basically forced to pick random.

I don't see why you can't include Smash Run enemies.

They're just as valid, I agree.

 

[Kriken]

I cant help it. Stupid smash bros hype

Stupid sexy smash bros

 

[BassForever]

So many of my mains are still unconfirmed

Not that I'm worried about Ice Climbers, Rob, Captain Falcon, Ness, or Jigglypuff just want to see them in action already

 

[IntelliHeath]

18 more days to go

Also one of my favorite count down GIF ever.

All but ice climbers are almost guaranteed to be unlockable. (VIA NFC! )

 

[Kjellson]

I'm still happy as fuck for Ike. I was afraid he wouldn't get in.

 

[Kriken]

Also, with the upcoming Best Buy demo, be sure to have your johns ready when you somehow lose to a little kid

[FearZoa]

True players main Random Select.

That only works till I get Olimar or Diddy, then i'm screwed. I never could figure those two out.

Double Cherry would be a pretty great item although I'm sure it won't make it in as it would taxing on the both the 3DS and Wii U and would make the Ice Climbers less special.

[Cody_D165]

This train continues to pick up speed.

E3 can't come soon enough.

 

[TheXfactor]

does the tournament have 3000 contestants or just 16? sorry im just a little confused here :/

 

[Kor of Memory]

So now that we're at 30 announced characters so far, I've decided that there is no way all of those are part of the default roster (not including Luigi).

I'm thinking maybe we've seen a handful of unlocks already, which seems odd to me.

If I had to guess for Unlocks, we're probably looking at
-Luigi
-Sonic
-Mega Man
-Lucario or Greninja
-Rosalina
-Toon Link

I'd say a fair chunk of those are likely to be hidden characters, though I'm beginning to wonder if there really is a point to that anymore. I almost wish we'd see the entire roster from the start now (which is odd because I freaking love unlockables). Though, maybe we'll see stuff like the alternate costumes take the spotlight for unlockable stuff.

 

[Kouichi]

I already got Luigi and Pit, so all I'm waiting for is Falco. He's my most used character in both Melee and Brawl. I'm very interested to see if he has any new changes.

 

[OmegaSmash]

If it isn't too much trouble, can someone make a list with all the character analysis/changes posts?

 

[Kriken]

does the tournament have 3000 contestants or just 16? sorry im just a little confused here :/

16 participants. I think 3000 would be a mess for E3

 

[Devil]

What has been a year? Pic of the day / Smash 4 reveal?

 

[TheChits]

A 3000 man tournament

 

[PadWarrior]

I will pull all nighters to unlock mega man and luigi.
