Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 10: Against the Odds, We Choose to Hype!

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.

Yeah, exactly. I honestly don't see this as Lucina being in over Chrom, I see it as Robin being in over Chrom and Lucina is just sorta there as a Marth clone.

And there we have it, Lucina is a clone, not an alt, this is no longer up for debate
Thank god. On the mild bright side, being a Marth clone makes sense for her story-wise.

And holy crap, what if Peach-clone Daisy actually made it guys? 0_0 Waluigi might as well hang himself...
 
I wish that at the bottom of Captain Falcon's page on the website they put "Want to find out more about Captain Falcon? Visit the official website for Nintendo Land! CAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU GET."

I really want a new F-Zero...

Real news is Mark of Naga. LORE ACCURATE.

(also this means Lucina has no sweet spot on her sword?)

Finally

We can put that tiresome argument to bed
I actually cannot believe that 'is she actually an alt' was a serious line of discussion that was actually pursued.
 
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 never said he was taking anyone's slot. I said he would be a pointless character if he was a clone. I've got no problem with Dark Pit, but to offset his identical appearance to Pit, it would be best to make his moves different.
 
If we get any additional Punch Out characters, it should be Disco Kid.

Lucas is back, and now better than ever! His PK Thunder is now yellow instead of purple. I hope you enjoy him having his own character slot again.
 
Since Chrom is already in Robin's Final Smash I doubt they would make him DLC.
His model seems pretty damn detailed though. Like, extremely detailed. (More so than Lucina even.)

I think he's got a shot at being more than a cameo.

Fuck that noise, make Dr. Mario an alt costume.
I'd be okay with that as long as he had his pills and was announced as Dr. Mario, but today's comment makes it seem that any gameplay changes = separate character.

I cannot find a gif that can encapsulate the warm smile and thumbs up that I feel towards the flurry of all this nintendo news.

But that's how I feel

This is good, I like it.

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.
I think Dark Samus takes that honor, considering she never uses the Grapple Beam or Bombs and doesn't even have the Screw Attack in her suit. She also usually floats instead of walking and fights nothing like Samus, with all her signature moves having no equivalent in Smash Samus.

And yet some people still think she would have been a clone.

DLC's gonna be so odd. Like, will it already be in as a trophy, assist trophy, final smash, stage decoration? If it's in, then it won't seem like it'll be DLC. But if it's noticably absent from all of those things, then it'll seem like it will be DLC. It's just so odd to wrap my head around.

So, with these new characters, who is GAF considering maining? I'm still at Megaman (his playstyle was awesome in the demo), possibly considering Lucina, and possibly considering Ganondorf if he's less complete shit this time around.

Ah ok. While I agree they should try to differentiate him as much as possible if he's in, his inclusion would essentially be a freebie. Not really much to complain about.
 

"D"

I'm extremely insecure with how much f2p mobile games are encroaching on Nintendo
*Sigh* So my fear was confirmed. Lucina a "clone".

Goddammit.

Was hoping for a alt costume.

As much as I like her, can't help but shake the feeling like its a wasted slot

Pic of the day. Along with Robin, Lucina joins the battle!! Her physical ablilites are identical to Marth's--it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth's power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina's attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She's also a little bit shorter than Marth.

With the Wii Fit Trainers, the male and female Robins, the Villagers, and Little Mac, varying their appearances and voices works just like selecting alternate color variations. However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot. That is why you can select Lucina individually.

By the way…there's probably no chance you'll be able to see this in the game, but Lucina has the mark of Naga in her left eye.
Based Sakurai.

I don't, he is already an important part of a Final Smash. I honestly think there is around 0% chance that he will be made a playable character via DLC. The models for all the other Mega Men are as high quality as playable characters too, I think Sakurai just wants to make sure the models for Final Smash only characters are good.

Just because they already have a model in the game doesn't mean it isn't DLC, they still have to make the moveset.

I doubt she was a wasted slot, considering how easy it was to implement her into the game (she's an unabashed clone of Marth... I doubt she took much resources)

It's better this way. She gets her own set of Taunts, victory animation, classic mode ending(?) and her model can diverge from Marth's.

Man Lucas and Ness were super diverse alterations of each other, of all the clones they're the least cloniest, don't you even!

I will never get the idea of "wasted slots." I'm happy with anyone we get. I'll always have my impossible favorites who I'd love but I'll never seen in Smash (Chibi-Robo........) but as long as my favorites stick around it's hard to disappoint me. Every single new addition has been rad to see, even Lucina, and I never even played Awakening.

I am reticent to get with this Dark Pit movement. Besides the visual boredom (palette swap). Indeed the voicework is noteworthy but this can be explained with the presence of bosses. Besides, look who else (Chrom) has voicework. Why go ham on the clones thing, especially if we believe that Sakurai is willing to troll

I Honestly think Marth is being slept on.....but I see Lucina getting more Milage though.

There's still hope I think but it'll come down to what additional mechanics are discovered. This game takes more damage to KO, so that would skew things a little towards Marth, but apparently Marth doesn't combo off of throws well.

Really? When was that said? That would be nice.

I don't remember comments on landing lag from Sakurai either? How is this supposed to work - an across-the-board mitigation mechanic (I've seen the Lucina "l-cancelling" thing but the jury's still out on that) or something done in response to individual characters' movesets?
