...So you'd rather just have her not be in the game, rather than be a clone in addition to the existing newcomers? There's no situation that would have led to Lucina being in with a unique moveset.

The closer we get to launch, the faster and faster we burn through threads. I wouldn't be surprised if these threads end up only lasting a week by September.
Gotta love choosing Mario, Wario, and Lucario at the same time to hear the announcer's voice.
Of what? Being a comparatively low effort clone, she didn't take anyone's spot. Where's the harm in an extra character?
You forgot Lucius from FE GBA and Lulu from FFX.

Between the two newcomers, Captain Falcon, the implications of these reveals going forward, possible leaks, the CoroCoro announcement, and the Rayman trophy, we have a lot to talk about.

You're right. They might as well not even release Smash now. Just scrap the whole game.
Was about to prod about lucina. Your moveset count is the same as character slot count this time around since there are no more transforming characters anymore.Most of that was from arguing back and fourth about something obvious to most.

Fixed that for ya.
In all seriousness, we've had some good tidbits in this thread already, but I'd be willing to bet that over half these pages were just horribly drawn out hissy fits over some truly silly stuff.
We still don't know if the three Mii styles will share a slot, though.
Burning through this thread at a good rate. Thread 13 before October?
Our waifu is so controversial :3c
I don't think she would even be playable if she wasn't a clone.

The guy in the IGN rewind whining that Marth isn't good because he wasn't good with him at E3 playing how he plays melee makes me sick. At least the other dude is optimistic and nice to listen to.
I wasn't here when the Rayman trophy was revealed, but I really think people are overestimating its implications. Rayman Legends, on which the trophy is based, was published exclusively by Nintendo in Japan. It just seems really strange to the rest of the world because Ubisoft published the game in the West and decided to release it on other platforms.
Yeah, true. That's probably the one exception. I'm still thinking it'll be 3 separate ones, but who knows.
A Nintendo rep said that they all share a single tile on the select screen. I still consider the three types separate characters, though (like Pokémon Trainer).

Yeah, I agree, but that was still a fairly major topic yesterday.
Hard to know whether nintendo reps know the truth though. They may have played some early build where they were, but that can all change for the end. They could have also just been misinformed or misinterpreted the information that was given. Unless said nintendo rep works inside the treehouse, take anything they say w/ a grain of salt (unless backed by SEVERAL reps).
Oh, had no idea nintendo published rayman legends. It all makes sense now.

I'm a bit worried about the soundtrack. I remember Sakurai talking a lot about the tracks and the composers in the Brawl Dojo, he's very quiet about them this time.

Of course, there's no possible way that Marth could have actually been nerfed. Sakurai would never do such a thing. After all, we all remember how Captain Falcon was the most powerful and satisfying character to play in Brawl.

That would suckkkk though D:
I like unlocking characters. A lot.
I like playing with a limited roster at first because it makes the unlockable characters more exciting to play. It's like having to wait for dessert. Once you're an adult and can just eat dessert whenever you want, it becomes a lot less exciting. When you're a kid and your parents say 'no dessert until you're done,' dessert is HYPE
You want it so bad because you can't have it. Same with unlockable characters. They're the dessert of smash. If you give them all to me at the start, while that's kinda neat if you and some friends just wanna pick whoever, it makes it wayyyyyyyyyyy less exciting.JStein0222

A possibility I acknowledge. But A. Probably should be nerfed and B. He can complain all he wants after he actually has the game and tries new tactics. I don't want any of this "my previous game tactics don't work so waaahhh"
Corcoro is going to spoil everything anyway, right. At least there will be no crappy SSE to be the fastest way to unlock them.
I only see two realistic options regarding hidden characters:
1. There are no hidden characters.
2. There are hidden characters, but the full roster will be revealed prior to launch anyway.
If there were traditional post-release hidden characters like in the previous games, then all four Fire Emblem characters wouldn't have been revealed already. Surely one or two of them would have been kept secret.

We have 36 characters revealed now (38 counting the three Mii forms.) There's no way the starting roster will be that large.
you just need to dream bigger
60 character roster
8 fire emblem characters~
My money's still on no secret characters prior to release, but still plenty of unlockables in the game.

I'm assuming this will be a Pikachu alt:
Would probably go nicely with Little Mac's inevitable Big Mac alt as a DLC costume pack.

Marth has always just been a solid character with a sensible set of strengths and weaknesses. I really never understood why people feel he is consistently oppressive or "too good" and "should be nerfed" especially given the range nerf he got going into Brawl. That said, I do want to see how he performs in final build footage/my own experience.
Man, more and more I listen/read impressions of people who play this series and discuss its different elements and feel like I'm slowly drifting from the general opinions of the larger player base...

Hmm well as long as there are still about ~15 secret characters this is fine for me. I love to unlock stuff- especially stuff I didn't know about.

SSE is better than no SSE.
Except for all the text after that lol
Exactly. We won't get 36-38 characters selectable from the start. Maybe 30, at best.
This is most likely. Retail copies will leak, and the game will be data-mined.
IMO, not if it allows them to focus on more mp content. SSE was something I played once and never wanted to touch again.

You're right. I gleamed all the knowledge I need to make accurate judgements from a 3 minute match.
Luigi is top tier guys.
Unless SSE is taking resources away from other potential features in the game, which it likely did.
So it's not that SSE > nothing (that much is true), it's that SSE < uniquely modeled trophies, more numerous/varied game modes, more stages, more characters, etc

Well we haven't seen the last two FE reps duh! Anna and Roy are secret.

That McDonald's promotional DLC at work after the success of the Mercedes one in Mario Kart lol
It's surprisingly good for streaming.

He really does look like a killer in the demo footage we've seen. I'm sure it won't turn out like that, but for now...that dash attack, man.

I agree. Only weird thing is how many veterans there are left to reveal (seemingly) if everything is getting revealed before mid September reveals better pick up the pace!
