Tables Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Oh come on, that's almost as bad as saying they'd get rid of Jigglypuff. They're part of the original dozen, and they don't have derrative movesets. There's no way they aren't coming along for the ride again.

Thalzon Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Someone brought up a good interpretation of Sakurai's words on the roster size. Basically, he said he didn't want to cut any characters, and as a result there won't be as many new fighters as before. So, basically, we can expect almost every character to return (except maybe Snake because reasons) but also that, overall, we might only see 8-10 new fighters, instead of like before when we saw 15.

AngelCityOutlaw Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 My only vote for "new" character would be female Marth/Lucina but that probably won't happen since they already have normal, not as cool Marth in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avaris Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 His move set looks incredible. Just balls to the wall crazy fast and precise. Looking forward to playing with him first! Also in multiple meetings @Nintendo yesterday, they confirmed a 2014 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Williamson Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I hardly know Punch Out and I'm honestly super surprised by this, but heck, he looks stellar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlouge82 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I hardly know Punch Out and I'm honestly super surprised by this, but heck, he looks stellar. Punch Out is an NES C-L-A-S-S-I-C that has been largely forgotten with time (i.e. the series hasn't been given adequate attention over time) because of the Mike Tyson fallout that made them remake the original game. I'm so excited about the addition of this character. There are so many classic NES characters in the new Smash Bros that I may find myself buying a Wii U simply to play this game.

Thalzon Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Greninja is the latest new fighter to join Smash! Also Charizard, Sheik, and ZS Samus are now all their own fighters. There's no way to switch between them and their former counterparts. It's unknown if Pokemon Trainer will return. Seriously, go check out the nintendo direct. It's full of good stuff. #DS version in summer, WiiU version in Winter. So hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnWake Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Greninja is quite surprising. I wonder if they'll add a grass starter for balance. Sceptile is cool! New Zero Suit Samus is very cool too, even if they designed her a bit too perfect haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad.mixx Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Sceptile would make sense, i'd like meganium the best, it would be cool to have a dinosaur beast like pokemon to play as, and it's also the best starter from johto. if a 3rd generation remake is to come though, i could totally see sceptile happening.

Favor Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Quite excited for the online gameplay revamp. It should allow players to find battles to suit their needs. Smash Run mode exclusively for 3DS looks promising too. The throwback to Kirby Air Ride's "city trial" gameplay is welcomed. Glad to see that nintendo won't be throwing the 3DS version under the bus as inferior to the Wii U version. Greninja and Charizard hype Now to wait for the Captain Falcon and Wario reveal. I need to pawwnch more people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Smash Run is going to be amazing. The sheer amount of time Nabeel and I sunk into City Trial back during the hey-day of Kirby Air Ride is absurd. The City Trial gameplay style is so fun and quick. So happy to see it being revived in Smash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Yeah, so excited for Smash Run. Hopefully they'll announce a similar mode for the Wii U version, since apparently Smash Run is 3DS-only. EDIT: Official summary PR. 8th April, 2014 – A new Nintendo Direct video revealed numerous details about the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems. At the start of the video, series creator Masahiro Sakurai announced that the Nintendo 3DS version of the game is planned for this summer, with the Wii U version targeting winter 2014. Both games will be available in stores and on Nintendo eShop for their respective platform. Sakurai also detailed many of the stages and items in both versions, described the games’ online functionality, revealed a new mode exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version and announced fan-favourite Greninja, a Pokémon from the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y games, as a new playable character.To view the Nintendo Direct in its entirety, visit http://nintendo.co.uk/nintendodirect. Today’s announcements included: Launch windows: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is planned for this summer. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is targeting winter 2014. Silky smooth 3D: Most gameplay elements of the Nintendo 3DS version of the game will run at 60 frames per second, all in stereoscopic 3D. “Smash Run”: Exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version of the game is a new mode called “Smash Run.” In this mode, four players have five minutes to enter a dungeon and explore the surroundings, fight enemies and obtain power-ups to enhance their fighters. Once the five minutes are up, all four fighters enter a battle arena using their newly equipped items and power-ups. Enemies encountered in the Smash Run mode are from a wide range of game series. Multiple Nintendo 3DS systems and games are required for multiplayer modes. New challenger!: Greninja, the awesome final evolution of Froakie from Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, joins the roster as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. Oldies But Goodies: Many of the classic characters from past Super Smash Bros. games that are returning in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS have new powers and abilities. Four characters that have appeared in previous games, but had yet to be announced before this Nintendo Direct, include: Zero Suit Samus: That’s right, Zero Suit Samus is back, but this time she is her own fully playable character, separate from suited Samus. In the new game, she is given jet boots to make her even more powerful. Sheik: As with Zero Suit Samus, Sheik is another character that appeared in previous Super Smash Bros. games, but will be a unique playable character for the first time in the new Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games. Sheik has new moves like Burst Grenade and Bouncing Fish. Yoshi: In previous games, Yoshi stood on two legs and hunched over, as if Mario was going to jump on top of him at any moment. This new version of Yoshi stands completely upright, making him an even stronger fighter. Charizard: After appearing from a Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. Melee and becoming playable by using Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this fire-breathing Pokémon is now a selectable character. Online play: Both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of Super Smash Bros. will offer online multiplayer gameplay with other players on the same platform. Players with broadband Internet access can battle it out with anyone else who is online and also has the game. When playing with random players online, two modes are available: “For Fun” and “For Glory.” In “For Glory,” only Final Destination stage variations are available. There are no platforms, elevated areas or items in this mode. It is a nice, clean battle between characters. In “For Fun,” all stages are picked randomly and all items and power-ups are available. When playing with friends, full customisation is available – players can set the rules, stages and items however they want. Variety of stages: While the cast of playable characters is the same in both versions of the new games, the stages where the battles take place are vastly different, depending on which system a player chooses. The Wii U stages are primarily based on past home console games, while the Nintendo 3DS stages draw from handheld games for inspiration. Boss characters, such as the Yellow Devil in Wily Castle will make appearances in some stages. When bosses appear, fighters will have to battle the boss, as well as one another. The boss can even be used in strategic ways to damage other fighters. Almost all the stages in both versions of the game will have a “Final Destination form,” an alternate form of each stage that is inspired by the relatively simple layout of the much-loved Final Destination stage. Items, Trophies and Pokémon: Items, Assist Trophies and Poké Balls all return in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. New to the games are Master Balls, special Poké Balls that contain Legendary Pokémon like Arceus and Xerneas. Get connected: There will be elements in Super Smash Bros. that link both versions of the games. More details about this will be revealed at a later date. Custom moves: In a series first, players can now customise move sets when playing locally or online with friends. More information about this feature will be announced in the future.
