Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!

Not really a character you'd get hyped for but I appreciate the fact that Sakurai introduced a puppet-style fighting game character to Smash. She plays nothing like ICs, their only similarity begins and ends as a duo character.

Doesn't look like any of the Rainbow Roads in the games (unless its from the arcade games).

Further hinting towards it being a stage. Or it's a massive red herring.

Nothing has be debunked.

Really excited about Rosalina, guys (and Bats)!

Well I'm not sure how many people had the idea, but I think some (myself included) assumed a potential worst case scenario in which that list proved to be the only new characters in the game which thankfully isn't the case anymore. Not to say Mii/Little Mac/Pac-Man won't be in the game though.

Also we need a gif of Kirby and Luma dancing stat!
 
Well she is a heavy.



Yeah, the mix of Mario Kart and Kirby on his Warp Star sent me straight to Smash. If it was going to be some kind of Nintendo All Stars Racing the other vehicles would've been less Mario Kart-y.

Actually yeah, I thought Smash as soon as the characters crowded around Kirby. Rosie for Smash came to mind as soon as the launch star/luma came in.

Also, can't wait to see the other cutscenes for new characters. They're doing a mighty fine job with them.

I think it's a stage replacing the other Mario Kart one. Or maybe the Mario Kart stage goes to different tracks now ala the Mushroomy Kingdom.

The giant dip is somewhat of a call back to n64 i think. The rest sorta reminds me of mario kart ds verrrrry loosely.

Rainbow Road has to be a new stage, I can't think of a more fitting new mario kart stage. Wonder if it would be like mute city or have some other gimmick.

It could be Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 8, after all Iwata mentioned something like Sakurai unwittingly revealing part of the game.

Huh? One rumor was that it was only 6 specific newcomers (the 3 from E3 + Little Mac, Pac-Man and Mii). Now that Rosalina has been revealed, it's obviously not going to be those specific 6. There for that rumor is debunked.
I'm pretty sure all that was supposedly said was that those characters would be revealed at E3 (but, possibly removed last minute), not that they'd be the only new characters.

I noticed in the trailer that her luma can be defeated. Makes me wonder if there is a cooldown time before she can summon another, or if she can just summon another one instantly.

It's probably that she just has to summon another. The summon animation seems to take a while, unlike pikmin. You have to get to safety to summon one, so it's still a penalty. Also, different color lumas might mean using the summon ability while one is already out changes the color which probably changes the neutral B or side B ability for the luma (like shooting out the star bits, or doing melee attacks)

I'm well aware that that was what was outright said, that's why I called the statement I was talking about a rumor. :p

I thought he was just saying that Sakurai managed to hint towards Mario Kart being in the Direct, not necessarily the contents of MK8 itself. But seeing as Wario's victory theme was from a game we had no idea about at the time it could very well be possible that it's the MK8 RR. Looks a bit lame compared to MK7's brilliant RR if that is the case though.

Also it can't be a MK64 reference if it doesn't have glowing lights in the sky forming the faces of racers. They are the most important element!
 
I had a sneaking suspicion Rosalina would be more ubiquitious after
unlocking her in 3D World.
I think she is worthy of being in Smash for sure.

Rosalina looks like she plays pretty differently than the other fighters, so that's awesome.

But is this really coming out in the spring? I feel like we know almost nothing besides the new characters.
