Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

I love how newly-announced characters get their own special Challenger Approaching banners on the site now. They look soooo gooood. Also, I'm really surprised we got another character announcement this close to E3. It makes me wonder what all E3 will have in store for us...
a full roster blowout? I personally hope not, but maybe...

Huh?



What?

Y'all are crazy. Ike was unique and fun. Idk what's even happening.

I dunno about fun, but he wasn't unique. Sakurai pretty much turned him into a Roy expy (Fun fact: Ike's affinity was Earth, not Fire) and his portrayal in smash is awful. Put simply, Ike was a master swordsman in FE, and none of that was conveyed in his Brawl moveset. FE Ike swings his sword with unmatched swiftness and precision. Brawl Ike swings his sword like it's a fucking log.

Incidentally, Ike wasn't a particular deep character in FE10, but there was a stoic maturity to him. Like, the idiot running saying "I fight for my friends?" wasn't the same guy who said this:

Ike: I don't need to hear anything else, then. I'm going to make your death as painful as I know how.

Ike should have a Priam alt.
His alt will probably be his Path of Radiance / Brawl costume.

Gameplay over continuity, I say.

Aw yiss. Manly-man Ike confirmed. I was a bit worried for him when I saw the alternate lunge attack that Marth used in the Smash Direct, but I'm so happy to see him back.

Doubt Lucina is an alt. As a lot of people have pointed out, so far alts have only been variations of the same character. Female villager is still villager. Male WFt is still WFT. Wireframe Mac is still Mac.

Maybe Lucina's "Marth disguise" is an alt for marth. But that'd be pushing it.

Hahaha, Thread TItle is actually really good at predicting the future apparently. Perhaps we should choose something that gets Lord
Ridley
in for the next title.

If they speed up his attacks and change his neutral B (even making the flames blue would suffice...) I might be willing to accept him...

And for the love of all that is good, he needs a new actor.
 
Quick reminder since we're all here, all hype and only have a couple of pages left in this thread.

The poll for the next thread title is now live!!! To get the link to the poll, just quote this post to reveal it. Remember: If you don't vote and he next thread title ends up sucking, then it's your fault (unless IntelliHeath doesn't go with the winning title, then it's his fault).

I know I've been beaten to the punch on how amazing manly Ike's look is, but I also think that he bears an uncanny resemblance to that fake Chrom leak from a few months back.

Also, as great as it is to have him return, having both Fire Emblem veterans revealed before either of the Mother veterans does sting a bit.
 
Dang. Revealing veterans less than three weeks before E3. Megatons incoming guaranteed!

Sakurai should've ditched Ike for Zelgius. >_>
 

IntelliHeath

As in "Heathcliff"
Seriously, I'm hyped as heck! I didn't expected to see Ike when I woke up for a cup of water. It was just hype as fuck.

HE LOOK SO GOOD. He look like he is going to bring a serious business into Smash and smack down the laws on everyone. We finally approached the numbers of 30!

We never did get that Project M main v main, I'll see you for Smash 4

SEE YOU THERE! :)

Weren't some people in here saying Pic of the Day wasn't going to be relevant till E3? ;)

LOL
