48 characters were cut to include AKB48.

Sorry Lucas, Wolf, Ridley, K. Rool, Popo, Nana, Dixie, Mewtwo, Chorus Kids, Snake, Ivysaur, Squirtle, the list goes on and on...

Damn you Sakurai!

 

[Letterbomb]

That can't be any opening for the 3DS, can it? Can the hardware run that kind of cinematic opening?

 

[Josephl64]

So is that AKB48 thing part of a new CM? I can't imagine it being anything else

 

[MrSaturn99]

FUCKING HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

WHAT IS GOING ON

 

[-Horizon-]

Idols? Miku DLC confirmed!

You can always play boy-Lucina until you unlock Lucina-Lucina.

Quiet you, leave me to my tears ;~;

 

[Nia]

Awesome image

That 1st image is a magnificent sight to behold. I also never thought I'd see the Smash Brothers fighting an AKB48 army.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

YES to the Black Yoshi, BOO to the no white Yoshi


So with Alph sounding like it's confirmed, then that means that Bowser Jr alt rumor.....must be.....yessssssssssssss

 

[johnbone]

ABK miis.....lol

 

[PadWarrior]

Where did the pics come from? Where is the 2ch link?

 

[SenorArdilla]

The Hype Is Real!

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

48 characters were cut to include AKB48.

Sorry Lucas, Wolf, Ridley, K. Rool, Popo, Nana, Fat Lucina Dixie, Mewtwo, Chorus Kids, Snake, Goku Ivysaur, Squirtle, the list goes on and on...

Damn you Sakurai!

They finally did it.

Anime type characters in smash. Goku next?

 

[OminousShadow]

Whao that animation is beautiful :')

 

[Regulus Tera]

what's important is that someone snuck a camera

FUCK YES

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Guys...

You don't think that footage of the AKB48 could be the intro to the trailer revealing the Chorus Men, could it???

 

[DrStiles]

Those pics look badass. I really hope someone was able to get that in motion.

 

[Kyzon]

wait.... FUCKING WAIT! You fight Japanese Pop Idles in the intro?

looool

 

[IntelliHeath]

MELEE-STYLE INTRO CONFIRMED!?!??! ORRRRR, LAUNCH TRAILER CINEMATIC!?!?!?

I'm not sure because it might be idol/Smash commercial..

I really hope that we are getting melee style intro for opening!

 

[Forkball]

WE NEED THAT AKB48 TRAILER

Pros so far:
Black Yoshi

Cons so far:
No White Yoshi

 

[georly]

I may Meta Knight with those alts. Georly should like that Link alt.

Thanks for thinking of me, buddy.

That Tweet says Link has a Fierce Deity-inspired color scheme. It's not an actual alternate costume.

Fierce deity link is mostly an adult link recolor anyway. One of the best recolors he could have had.



Wonder why samurai wouldn't show off alph before the demo. He had to have known people would have reported on it.

 

[Kriken]

Idols? Miku DLC confirmed!

Justin Beiber will be playable before Miku, just accept it

 

[solomon]

RIP to metaknight.

FTFY ;D

If not for the newcomer title card things, I would have guess that those pictures were from the intro, and it just picks out Miis from your system for the evil army.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Wait a second...

Isn't 48 how many characters we have on the leaked roster?

 

[The Captain]

Is anybody testing out Toon Link? What are his alt colors?

 

[PadWarrior]

Glad to see you back for the evening

Yes! This is very significant!

Hmmm I don't think so.

 

[sorakirosaki]

FUCK YES

or it might just be a random ad trailer thats playing at various parts of the exhibit and is allowed photography lol

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

The tweet about FD Link mentions that his face changes.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

do i want to know what an AKB48 is

 

[-Horizon-]

You just want to rain on my parade every time D:

 

[Josephl64]

AKB48 is Chorus Men confirmed in an epic plot twist

also Sonico DLC confirmed because idols

 

[StreetsAhead]

Incidentally, AKB48 advertised the (Nintendo published) version of Just Dance in Japan.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Wait a second...

Isn't 48 how many characters we have on the leaked roster?

51 characters actually. I Don't know why people kept not including 3 miis.

 

[emb]

RIP to metaknight.

MK is the new Kirby or Fox.

MK to be terrible in Smash 4, decent in Smash 5.

 

[sorakirosaki]

do i want to know what an AKB48 is

just a really popular idol pop group that has a huge following in japan im not really familar with their songs but they have some of the craziest fans lol

 

[J@hranimo]

do i want to know what an AKB48 is

Wikipedia.org :]

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

51 characters actually. I Don't know why people kept not including 3 miis.

But Mario and Co. are fighting the Miis.

As in, 48 characters vs. 48 Miis.

FUCK.

 

[Kriken]

You just want to rain on my parade every time D:

What parade? A poodle could be shown off and you'd find a way to connect Miku to Smash

 

[Kyzon]

do i want to know what an AKB48 is

J-Pop group

 

[Mr. Smiley]

do i want to know what an AKB48 is

If you know about japanese idols, you know enough.

 

[Beelzebufo]

But Mario and Co. are fighting the Miis.

FUCK.

Yup, you got it!

 

[udivision]

what in the seven flavors of heck?

 

[Revven]

Wait a second...

Isn't 48 how many characters we have on the leaked roster?

Yes, 48 characters were on the CSS image in the ESRB leak.

 

[The12thGripper]

What parade? A poodle could be shown off and you'd find a way to connect Miku to Smash

TRUTH

 

[Cse]

Wait a second...

Isn't 48 how many characters we have on the leaked roster?

That's what I was thinking.

Seems we have the final roster.

 

[-Horizon-]

AKB48 is Chorus Men confirmed in an epic plot twist

also Sonico DLC confirmed because idols

I'd be fine with Sonico as well :3

What parade? A poodle could be shown off and you'd find a way to connect Miku to Smash

Is it a blue poodle?

 

[Forkball]

That can't be any opening for the 3DS, can it? Can the hardware run that kind of cinematic opening?

It's just a video, the 3DS is not rendering anything. You could put The Avengers on a 3DS cart and it could run it.

Wait a second...

Isn't 48 how many characters we have on the leaked roster?

49 if you count the Miis.
