Okay, I think I've lightened up to Pac-man. After hearing about them talking about "the 4 gaming giants in combat" or something like that, I'm surprised I haven't noticed this before. Another reason is probably because I was expecting a much worse design for him. I can now appreciate the addition of Pac-man.

 

"Probably because it's Pac-man, literally, it's Pac-man and it changed the course of the gaming market when it came out, 'cause it's FUCKING PAC-MAN!!!!"

The only thing that concerns me is that I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of people playing as Goku Miis now.  And then Salty Bets replaces M.U.G.E.N. with Smash for its stream.

But remember that Sakurai said Mii's cannot be used online worldwide, but only when fighting friends online. That shouldn't be an issue.

 

But I agree with you. I think the Mii's are looking great. Might actually use it often.

[ErBoi 501]

Ah, I must have missed that.

 

I'm gonna head to Best Buy to play the demo in a bit.  My brother is a competitive Smash player and already gave me his impressions, I'll come back with mine later.

[Discordian 6,015]

In nearly every Smash game so far they've added characters for franchises that stuck around. Sonic's back so does that mean a new Sonic character will appear? I sincerely hope that there are unlockable characters that they've yet to show. I hate knowing everything before I even buy the game.

Captain falcon, Robin and lucina have been announced, chrom has been deconfirmed.

I don't know who Robin or lucina are, I know that they are from fire emblem, but I have never played fire emblem.

they look awesome though.

[Felix 1,363]

 

 

 

I'm quite interested to see just how much weaker he is this time. We already know his move set will be changed thanks to there no longer being a gliding mechanic.

 

Also took notice to a cool touch added to his gloves with the metal plating.

Lucina and Robin are from Fire Emblem Awakening on the 3DS

Also, Chrom is part of Robin's Final Smash, so technically he's only deconfirmed as a character.

I'm going to miss that gliding mechanic. It was pretty fun to use, though I'll admit it was overpowered when used in combination of is up-special.

[CheeryFox 23,821]

Yeah I can't wait for the new game to come out. 

 

My Pikachu is ready, lol. 

 

[SaburoDaimando 1,196]

Seems today, they just re-confirmed Metaknight for Smash Bros 4.  But they still need other returning classic characters like Wario, Ice Climbers and Ness(They already confirmed Captain Falcon, so anything is possible)

[Megas 27,640]

I had a dream that Snake was confirmed to return. I woke up thinking it was real. Now I'm kind of depressed

[Felix 1,363]

So apparently Meta Knights new move is to spin twice in succession slashing his opponents.

 

 

It's an effective more technical move that if used right can do quick work and damage.

[Shenron00 366]

Meta Knight's back! Woo! Now all we need is Mewtwo, Ness, Mr. Game and Watch, etc. (Simon Belmont anyone?)

Not looking forward to seeing Meta Knight again

[Shenron00 366]

Not looking forward to seeing Meta Knight again

Why? Because he was broken, or do you just not like him?

[Megas 27,640]

A little of both, but mostly the former. For me he was really cheap and was never fun fighting him

Well, Nintendo got A LOT of complaints about it, so they probably fixed him. Don't wry!

I could never figure out how to do that gliding thing....

[Luna 831 466]

I love this game . It is very fun and has great characters.

So this is a new costume for Zero Suit Samus... I was a little surprised when I went on the smash website today and saw this.

I know these games are rated T, but still. I'm not hating on it, I actually really like it, but it's just a little... odd I guess.

They're homages to ending art from Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission! Not any odder than the usual sort of alt costume if you ask me.

Anyway, a few leak pics came out recently which may or may not be true(potential huge roster/stage spoilers):

 

 

I really want it to be true, since it potentially confirms the two characters I want most in this game... but again, no promises here yet.

 

PLEASE LET FALCO AND SHULK BEING IN AT LEAST BE TRUE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

 

[Ampharos 1,009]

@@Radiance64,

 

Is... Is that the fracking duck hunt dog!? (Leaker 1, near the bottom right)

EDIT: Didn't notice it was one of the picked characters as well >.<

 

Honestly... These could be legit. The art style for the DH Dog and Bowser Jr look pretty similar to that of the official art. Shulk looks a little off to me for some reason, but not too much. The only reason I'm doubting this more than I should is the fact that Dr.Mario is his own character. Sure tons of people wanted him, but he would've been fine as an alt skin. 

There are a couple other smaller things that put me on the fence, like how no new DK character was added but Bowser Jr was, and most of the DLC characters (Why make old characters DLC? With two being clones, and one being not exactly popular?). Honestly though, I'd probably be happy with this roster. Just a few things off putting about it.

The only reason I want this to be real is simply because Snake will still be in, even if it's DLC. But I'm calling bullshit

Omigod, IT'S BOWIE!!!!

 

 

 

 

...who's an assist trophy. Well, so far so good.

Eh, I don't buy it. There's too many things that don't make much sense and just look wrong. I'll say it definitely has some interesting and believable factors though.

 

However the games release in Japan is just four weeks away. The whole roster will be revealed in a snitch by then.

Edited August 21, 2014 by Felix

[Envy 6,163]

That roster leak is awful, and if it becomes true I will officially stop hyping any roster in any future SSB game directed by Sakurai.

 

Having three Kid Icarus characters and only two Metroid and Donkey Kong characters is the worst part of it all, and exactly why I can't take Sakurai seriously anymore if this becomes true. I don't even care about either of those series, but they deserve far more than Kid Icarus, a random retro series that was dead for decades and already has more than enough representation without a third character.
