I wouldn't be surprised if every alt color had one of the 3 different faces and maybe different hair color/style

Female 'big':

Female 'medium':

Female 'small':

Male 'big':

Male 'medium':

Male 'small':

Obviously their body type/size won't translate but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw all 6 face variations.

As long as we get a redhead female color, I'll be happy.

 

[georly]

I vote Falchion Punch

This has my vote.

 

[Azure J]

Why is there no WebM of Captain Falcon yet?

I'm going to make one if I have to.

Do it, I need a visual of Falcon's smug ass grin after putting the fear of God into Lucina. :lol

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

lol the fuck outta here with that rare abomination

It is okay to accept that Rare contributed a great deal to Nintendo. Deal wits it, brah.

 

[Beelzebufo]

So is Lucina a clone or an alternate skin for Marth?

Looks like a clone, she's classified as a newcomer on the website.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Sakurai did say he's nearing the end of his reveal trailers, but I do hope we still have some surprises to look forward to. I'm praying we get a third DK character. Dixie or K. Rool would be great.

Also, here's all the characters currently missing in action.

What's mewtwo doing there

 

[liquidekkah]

I know everyone else is focusing on Robin and Lucina, but did anyone notice that Ike's Eruption now has blue flames?

WOOOOOOOO!

Yeah, that'd be sweet. Fortunately my avatar has the same face as the standard model used in Smash, so I just need the hair color to be customizable.

 

[Sponge]

What's mewtwo doing there

To crush the hopes and dreams of many

 

[Morts]

Well in that case we better get Dixie. DK needs some sort of third character.

Dixie could be a Rayman clone! Look at the hair!

 

[SmithnCo]

Leaker got BTFO.

Robin looks cool.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

What if DLC isn't real leak?

I didn't mean that DLC is confirmed, I just meant that whether we get DLC or not, the roster will be 50+

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Smash 64 Luigi

Yea, he's probably the other perfect example of a proper clone

...but he's not really a clone anymore.

 

[PadWarrior]

I can't get over how falcon wrecked chrom and was about to wreck lucina
Does falcon look even more buff?

[ArchedThunder]

Fire Emblem = 4 Characters
Donkey Kong = 2 Characters

Ya know, I didn't really want Dixie and K. Rool in, but I find it odd that a series that is better selling and far more important to Nintendo has fewer characters than Fire Emblem... So I guess I kinda want Dixie and K. Rool in now???

 

[Kouriozan]

But now, even clones will get sligthly different custom moves.

 

[ALM5252]

So is Lucina a clone or an alternate skin for Marth?

I was thinking Alt, but there are a few animations that look different than Marths.

 

[SoldnerKei]

Let me know where girl-Marth stands in five years. One mainline game and one Smash appearance most likely.

and people said this wasn't PSASBR lel

still, I am totally ok with that, also is more likely she will be an alt for Marth, so chances are she dosen't even get her own spot and shares it with Marth

 

[Majukun]

I doubt the part with every single thing correct is just a lucky guess.

Wii Fit Trainer, Megaman, PacMan, Villager, Little Mac, and Mii Fighter -- no way are all of those at once just lucky guesses.

pacman was obvious since namco is the developer,megaman was already predicted for brawl,same goes for little mac and mii,both already strong candidates since brawl...villager and wii fit trainer are the "main characters" from two of the most profitable new "series" nintendo had.

also,not every single thing was correct,since he didn't guess rosalina,chrom is not a newcomer and robin was not even mentioned in the leak

it was well made,i admit that,but everything he got until now could be guessed with a little of thought and luck.

i would change immediately idea if something like the chorus trio is announced,but until now what wasn't announced are the most hard to get

 

[Mr. Smiley]

I can't get over how falcon wrecked chrom and was gonna destroy lucina

Yeah, we need tall robin. Too many little kids.

Also, surprised that we didn't get Falco! Robin, Falcon... Where's the third bird?

 

[NeonZ]

Sakurai has stated that he wants all newcomers to get a video. Even Lucina got one, and she's a clone.

He also stated that the videos would be CG/animation like Subspace Emissary, but Pacman only got a gameplay video.

 

[ryanofcall]

No, he actually said he was nearing the end of character videos. Probably two left if I had to guess.

I'd say two, too. But now we know we can get two Newcomers with one video.

So is it: Shulk & 'Seventh' or Shulk & Reyn besides the choir men?

 

[Golnei]

and people said this wasn't PSASBR lel

still, I am totally ok with that, also is more likely she will be an alt for Marth, so chances are she dosen't even get her own spot and shares it with Marth

The rule is that no character can be put into Smash for purely promotional reasons...unless they're a Marth clone. Still not an alt though.

 

[munchie64]

I hope Lucina isn't too much of a clone. I mean Brawl pretty much did away with straight clones, I'd dislike seeing them come back.

 

[Beelzebufo]

He also stated that the videos would be CG like Subspace Emissary, and Pacman's wasn't.

It was! At the beginning. Unless you're saying that was hand drawn? Because it wasn't.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

I'm not sure about that. What if they develop the whole "past FE characters" mechanic next game? We could start seeing actual recurring characters (with no roles in the main story, but still gaidens and supports) just for fanservice.

All I see is a pile of "what ifs". Intelligent Systems is known to flip the script.

Marth is still the most popular Fire Emblem character in Japan.

 

[georly]

I was thinking Alt, but there are a few animations that look different than Marths.

I think she'll be the 'fast' marth in this game. She'll be the melee to marth's brawl. Just my guess. Would make marth players switch to her.

 

[OricWindstar]

Also loving the Awakening style Final Smash for Robin. They really nailed their execution of him/her!

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

This with black hair please. I need to have my version in the game now.

Sorry for my bad photoskills

LOL

 

[Aβydoς]

I hope Lucina isn't too much of a clone. I mean Brawl pretty much did away with straight clones, I'd dislike seeing them come back.

With custom movesets, I guess she can play totally different anyway.

 

[Kyzer]

Sorry I'm late guys. So wait. Chrome deconfirmed? Gematsu disproven?

 

[J@hranimo]

... and at the end of the day, though they were very excited, nobody quite knew what to make of that Rayman trophy.

It is a trophy.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

As far as Lucina, she makes sense as a clone-ish character.

Spoiler

Unlike Toon Link, and yes I brought that up from ages ago >.>

36 characters. Wow. Even as we get closer to release, the crazy ride just got crazier!

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Yeah, we need tall robin. Too many little kids.

H-huh?

 

[Blizzard]

I just realized Lucina was in the Amiibos video at E3.

TOM NOOK CONFIRMED

But Tom Nook is already in Villager's final smash.

Characters in final smashes can't be their own playable characters...but Chrom...WAIT

If Chrom is picked, maybe Alfonzo takes over for Robin's final smash! "Leave it to me!"

LOL

lol

;-;

Now I feel bad for him.

 

[georly]

This with black hair please. I need to have my version in the game now.

Mine was that w/ scar and green hair. Called 'Roronoa'

 

[Kaljinyu]

Plus, he killed tons of Pikmins

As one of the original 12, Captain Falcon doesn't approve of some of these newcomers. There can only be one Captain, so Olimar has to go. As for Chrom...

 

[Beelzebufo]

I think she'll be the 'fast' marth in this game. She'll be the melee to marth's brawl. Just my guess. Would make marth players switch to her.

Ooh good call. Maybe Marth was made terrible because Lucina is actually the good one?

There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know...

 

[KnightHart]

Man the amount of "fucking Fire Emblem" is amazing. Especially since Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's oldest franchises. Granted though, NA didn't even get it until the GBA.

[Jurassic Munson]

This with black hair please. I need to have my version in the game now.

I want no feet on a version to match mine.

 

[Poltergust]

Relevant for Robin:

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm glad Fire Emblem is getting so much love, the IP was nearly dead at some point!

 

[ryanofcall]

SmashGAF hasn't played Smash 4 yet. but still already thinks Lucina is a clone.
This is Sakurai we're talking about. I'm not saying you're definitely wrong, but what if he showed us only the customized moves? You won't know until you played her.

 

[SmithnCo]

Who was it that said Robin couldn't work because they had no set face

lol

 

[Axass]

Sakurai has stated that he wants all newcomers to get a video. Even Lucina got one, and she's a clone.

"Nevertheless we will still present the new characters with intro cutscenes, as we already did with the Villager, Megaman and Wii Fit Trainer."

Is there "all" written anywhere? Nope. Just like with the Gematsu leak, there is nothing implied in Sakurai's quote.

How many times do we have to play the "Sakurai said/Salromano said" game? Again, he said no Villager and not to expect many newcomers for Brawl. Things change and people read too much into casual phrases.

From that quote he could mean a hundred different things, such as "all the newcomers we'll announce before release will have a trailer".

 

[OricWindstar]

Have we fully appreciated this yet?
