You mean the last 10 threads

Nah, at times it took months between teasing of info and reveal. But this night's discussion was completely worthless from the start (Lucina was obviously NOT an alt, which was pretty clear for everyone but Beelzebub) AND resolved by Sakurai in less than 24 hours. And it went on from ~page 390 (50ppp) of OT9 until now. Did any other discussion waste this many posts in such a short time?
 
Can we please start talking about what's really important, and that's how Chrom figures into all this?

He's definitely more than a FS helper. Look at this biceps! You don't render biceps like that for a little flash in the pan.
 
So I guess she's training-wheels Marth or something.

I've never been into clones; I hope they're really kept to a minimum.

Edit: Just noticed that this is the 10th thread, was just started yesterday, and is already 31XX posts in. GOOD LORD!
 
The very notion that Ridley might be a "playable boss" instead of a character makes me a bit sick to my stomach. :-/

I would rather him not be in at all so there's the chance for DLC.
 
Keeping the Glass Joe Little Mac clone dream alive!

If we get any additional Punch Out characters, it should be Disco Kid.

...So Dark Pit?
Dark Pit would be the worst clone of all time. His model is exactly the same as Pit. Visually speaking, he's a pallet swap. In can understand making Lucina a Marth clone, but making Dark Pit a Pit clone would be completely pointless. Especially with all that Uprising has to offer in terms of a unique moveset.
 
sakurai finally listened to my pleas for a naked wario alt

When though?

That's not a huge shot in the dark or anything.
It isn't, but it's still the only leak I saw that actually questioned how accurate Germatsu's source was at picking out characters instead of just having a THE SAL LEAK IS TRUE BTW footnote like every other post E3-leak had.

Oh hey look Sakurai did the thing literally any reasonable human being with experience with this franchise would have done. WHAT A SURPRISE O_O

Nope. Alternates are the same character. Dark Pit wouldn't share the same exact moves as Pit. They would be colored differently and Alts don't do that. Like Doc. Mario. It's going to be another clone.

I just can't see him doing Dark Pit when he's just so similar in frame to normal Pit. Dark Pit literally originates from a Brawl palette swap of Pit, it'd get really confusing. There's no big physical identifier between them like Lucas having hair or Lucina being a girl or Falco being a bird or Dr. Mario having a Ph.D.

Plus, considering Lucina bogarted off of Robin's reveal trailer, I think if Dark Pit was going to be a thing they'd have just come out and said it at the end of the Palutena trailer.

They could give him Brawl Pit's move set.

IF Dark Pit is in, he's not taking the slot of another Uprising character. That's not really how clones in fighting games work.
 

I'M FINISHED!

Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
At least Marth has the only tipper, but it won't matter if his power doesn't compensate for his apparent loss of speed.
 
A month ago.

You don't have to believe it. It's not like I'm believing it. I am giving it its due consideration, though.


I think most people wanted you to shut up about it.
I won't write it off, but I don't think someone saying it'll be Lucina instead of Chrom is a big prediction.

Now if he/she had said Robin was coming, that would of been a bit more telling.

Since true clones are back, who are you expecting?

I think Dark Pit's chances just skyrocketed.

I personally love clones. I'm all for any form of extra characters. I know I'm in the minority but I think clones are a great way to get extra characters in the game without taking a super long time to make a moveset from scratch. After all, without clones we'd have never gotten Falco or Doc in Melee.

Dream clone though? Proto Man.

Punch Out clones would never work because the unique animations and silhouettes are what make the game so memorable.

Which is why we need to cut all the vets yet to be revealed to fit in the rest of the Punch Out cast. Mega man too. It has to be done.

I have faith in Sakurai.

So Lucina has slightly different properties as a playable character? Interesting, I wonder which one of them will end up being better overall. His comment implies that she won't have the destructive power of the Marth's tipper forward smash, but it might make it easier for her to score KOs in general.

Sooooo basically the last seventy pages are completely useless discussion which could have been avoided if we'd just waited for this Pic of the Day?

Thanks Beelzebuffablo (?) for pushing us closer to OT11 in record time. You also suck.

I <3 you, SmashGAF. I really do :D

We should've just waited for the game to come out instead of this useless speculating for a year plus... >_>

Holding out hope for Chrom as a Lucina alt costume like M!WFT.

So we could get Fredrick in Robin's Final Smash instead

:(
