Yeah, a case study on keeping realistic expectations.You're going to be mightily disappointed I'm afraid...

Yeah, it definitely takes a bit of wind out of my hype sails knowing it's him, but it's still exciting to see how he's implemented. And even in the Palutena trailer, where you knew it was for her immediately, it still gave me chills to see the "Palutena alights!" banner appear on the screen. Even if it's already expected, it's a whole different feeling when they're completely confirmed.
Eh, fair enough then.My point was a character like Mewtwo or Ridley should be included in the base game, not as additional paid DLC.

Haha, dude, I've watched that video countless times. It was a perfect example of how to tease an audience; you know it's Little Mac, but you're still on the edge of your seat, just in case. When he throws that hoodie off, it's like Sakurai giving you full permission to lose your shit.I still get super hyped even knowing in advance as well. Hell, I even STILL re-watch one of my favorite reveals that I kind of knew in advance already (based on leaks).

Shulk is going to be my ultimate hyped newcomer though. Still hoping for that Ness reveal before it's too late as well.
I'm not super familiar with Rhythm Heaven, but they seem like they'll be a fun character to fight against. The more characters, the more match-ups for me to learn.Couldn't agree more.
Even if the Chorus Men are basically confirmed at this point, I know I'm still going to lose my shit when they're officially revealed and I see the trailer for the first time!
Actually any character fits the Smash. All have unique movesets to make them interesting in battle.
Though I really want it to be Riki, just because a Nopon will also be there in Xeno X, and he matches the cuteness of the other mascots.even if he's a 40-year old jobless father of 11 kids.
There really isn't enough space on the character select screen on the 3DS, unless they change it up before release.
That reminds me - if X's going to get a more standard anime dub due to being released worldwide from the outset, that means we'll get Nopon with American accents. I can't imagine anything more horrible.
Why you gotta be like this?
Doesn't one of them...

What kind of peasant do you think I am?Play the game.
Has anything been confirmed on that front? I kinda wish we'd just get the English European voices now. It'd be cheaper for Nintendo too.
This is just a british-y series in my head now.
Because I'm evil >
Rhythm Heaven Fever. It's cheap, easy to play since it's a Wii game, and is definitely the best in the series. It even does a good job of pushing you into the idea of rhythm games with its interesting beginning.I'm not super familiar with Rhythm Heaven, but they seem like they'll be a fun character to fight against.

Speaking of Rhythm Heaven, which is the best one to play if I'm new to the series?
What kind of peasant do you think I am?
Dropping her name insinuates that she is back by the end because there would be no way in Hell that her character would be developed enough to warrant a spot in Smash before her death.
Haha, well, that settles that. Thanks!Rhythm Heaven Fever. It's cheap, easy to play since it's a Wii game, and is definitely the best in the series. It even does a good job of pushing you into the idea of rhythm games with its interesting beginning.
Although you can't really go wrong with any of them and there are only three. And only two have come out of Japan. So...
Nah, Mahvel was a bit higher.So, anyone who's watching can correct me if I'm wrong, but now that we're in GF for Ultra...didn't Smash have the highest view count at Evo this year? It about tied last year, but Marvel and SF both dropped it seems. That's a little crazy.

Going to say Brawl. Smash 4 comes in a close second but I'm too much of a Pikmin fan and all the characters I tend to play as in Brawl and its mods come from Brawl.So, this is a totally premature conversation, but...whatever! I need to kill time until the reveal trailer. Assuming that the leak pans out, which of the Smash sequels has had the best collection of newcomers? By best, I just mean has you the most hyped pre-release to try everyone out. A reminder list:
-
Melee
Bowser / Dr. Mario / Falco / Ganondorf / Ice Climbers / Marth / Mewtwo / Mr. Game & Watch / Peach / Pichu / Roy / Zelda (Sheik) / Young Link
Brawl
Diddy Kong / Ike / King Dedede / Lucario / Lucas / Meta Knight / Pikmin & Olimar / Pit / Pokemon Trainer / R.O.B. / Solid Snake / Sonic / Toon Link / Wario / Wolf / Zero Suit Samus
Smash 4
Chorus Kids / Chrom / Greninja / Little Mac / Mega Man / Mii Fighter / Pac-Man / Palutena / Rosalina & Luma / Shulk / Villager / Wii Fit Trainer
-
It's a really hard call for me. In the end, I think I have to go with Smash 4 because, while every game has had characters I was excited for, Smash 4 has the most that I can see myself maining (in this case, Greninja, Little Mac, and Mega Man).
It's not about relevancy. If we look at every Smash roster, there are characters that were basically unknown to most when first seen (FE characters), lost relevancy due to lack of games (Megaman), or not that popular anymore, at least to new audiences(Pac-man). As long as Sakurai is directing Smash, characters will never be too irrelevant to enter his roster.
If Sakurai wants it, he will just bring those mentioned characters on the first go. No need for DLC. Just have this huge roster from the start and all is set. I bet Sakurai does not want to be stuck managing DLC character development after Smash is out in the market.
For DLC, it really does not mean everything will be paid. For DLC trophies, they can just have them free, or have them accessible from Amiibo of other games. For paid DLC, stages and/or music will be fine for me.
The Chorus Kids trailer is the one I'm the most eager to see. Just to see how outrageous it is and also so we can start the "You're a fucking choir boy compared to me! A choir boy!" insults.
Smash 4 for Shulk alone. Greninja, Chrom, Little Mac and Mega Man are nice bonuses though.So, this is a totally premature conversation, but...whatever! I need to kill time until the reveal trailer.

I sincerely hope it takes the form of a Rhythm Heaven-style remix video, complete with Smash Bros. characters taking the place of the usual Rhythm Heaven characters. It would be amazingly cool.The Chorus Kids trailer is the one I'm the most eager to see. Just to see how outrageous it is and also so we can start the "You're a fucking choir boy compared to me!

Lucas is pretty fruityGuys, guys! I just had a vision of who the next Smash character was! Maybe some call it byproducts of my latent insomnia or my lack of medications due to running out over the weekend, but I say it's a vision!
Its in pieces though, but one thing I remember reading loud as a bell was...
Fruit.
If we find something-related to Smash Bros, we'll know for sure who the new character is. Who needs a prediction based on a so-far accurate leak? We now have Clairvoyance with us!Fruit

Bonus points if the background music is music from the other Smash reps remixed together.
Nice to see others be excited for Chrom! I get the hate, but Awakening is my only Fire Emblem game I've beat, so Chrom has a special place in my heart.Soo hype for Shulk tomorrow!

The problem of course with your argument is time constraints. Sakurai wants a huge roster of every single character from all of Smash, plus all these other characters he has great ideas for. And then he wants to add all these other things in like custom movesets. Then Nintendo comes in and says "Hey- add something to use NFC statues with!"
And suddenly your huge roster doesn't happen. I'm not a big fan of this "If Sakurai wants it, it'll happen!" because I have a feeling he doesn't have 100% say and he's being pushed pretty hard right now to get the game done when it needs to be without delaying it. If he wants those characters in but runs out of time, why not DLC?
It gets the game out that Nintendo needs for the holidays and keeps it relevant for a lot longer than it would have been relevant. It also allows them to put in characters that are relevant now instead of waiting years and never using the idea. Plusle and Minun are never going to be in Smash now. Mewtwo hasn't really been seen as an antagonist in Pokemon for years. Roy's relevancy to FE is negligent. And Toon Zelda/Sheik would have been an interesting character to see happen. But while we may see some of these, if they don't have time to put them in...why not DLC?
honestly even after playing the other fire emblems i also look forward to chrom (but anyone from awakening would have been super hype)
Yeah, anyone from Awakening would have been great. I just am finally happy to have a Fire Emblem character with some kind of personal attachment for me.Awakening's one of my favorite Fire Emblem games (I've played all the ones released here) and Chrom was my bro the entire time throughout the game, so I'm happy he's in. Plus he has a sword, so I'll probably be using him a lot. =P
So who's ready for the potd?
