Overall, I'm pleased with the roster. Baby Bowser is a neat addition (though I hear his costume changes are actually all the Koopa Kids - if so, VERY awesome). I like the Duck Hunt Dog because he fits with the crazy ones like ROB and Game n' Watch (it's nice seeing Nintendo give tribute to some of their classics). If Dixie is really DLC or is in on release, I'll be thrilled.
Still don't care for Dr. Mario or Dark Pit. Ice Climbers and Snake are preferable, in my opinion. |
I'm very happy with the leaked roster assuming Ridley gets in. Ridley and Rosalina & Luma are the only newcomers I really care about. Probably going to main Samus regardless, though.

People really need to stop calling Dark Pit a clone. If you actually played Uprising, you'd know that he isn't a clone. And Dr. Mario was almost identical to Mario in Melee, true, but they wouldn't have brought him back if they weren't going to change him up...
With that being said, I haven't heard anything about Dixie some of the other characters that have been discussed... Only Bowser Jr., Dog, Pittoo, and Shulk (and obviously all the returning fighters). If this is the final roster, I will be pretty darn pleased. Half of my wishlist (with 10 fighters) got in and three more of them are non-playable in the game, so that's pretty awesome. |

Now that we know the leak is real (gonna main Shulk!), and if that rumor screenshot about Mewtwo, Ridley, and others being playable is true(I'm starting to think it is, considering the other details it talked about were true, and they could be the remaining characters the leaker was talking about), I can say I'm quite pleased with the roster. Every character I've wanted (bar Ghirahim T_T) to be playable actually are, like Shulk, Bowser Jr. (7 Koopalings as alts? Awesome!), and Dark Pit. This is shaping up to be the best Smash since Melee. Sucks that Ice Climbers appear to be cut, along with Wolf and Lucas. And we still don't get King K. Rool. I also don't like that Ganondorf is still a Falcon clone. He deserves a whole new moveset, with swords and dark magic, like Hyrule Warriors' version of him. Also, am I the only one who absolutely loves the fact that the Duck Hunt Dog is playable? I mean, it makes sense, considering every Smash since Melee has modernized a early-Nintendo-days retro character. I can see his final smash being similar to Zero Suit Samus's gunship, except you use the NES Zapper, then at the end, he does his trademark laugh (with the original sound effect, of course). |
If Wario's trophy description is any indication, they kept his Brawl moveset. All I needed to know!
Now just officially confirm him I need to see him in action ;_; Quote:
With that in mind, they take as much time as any other veteran that isn't a clone. Doc, Lucina and Dark Pit, on the other hand, are very easy to add and take absolutely no time because the work is already there. We know Lucina has the exact same animations as Marth, and Doctor Mario was the same in Melee so he'll probably share animations with Mario again (except for Down B HOPEFULLY). Dark Pit, going off his placement on the select screen, will probably be the same as them. The only thing needed is unique taunts, idle and victory animations, changed moves properties and new voice lines. (Which is especially easy for Doc and Dark Pit because they share voice actors from the characters they're cloned from.) I'm assuming the reason they cut Wolf and Lucas, despite being unique all things considered, is because they're redundant. As mentioned, they're designed upon an existing concept, so to a lot of people, they're really repetitive. Ice Climbers are tricky, and honestly, hard to design. In Melee they had some pretty broken techniques, which weren't fixed in Brawl. Nevermind the design problems hey have on the 3DS, they're just poorly designed in general. I don't think that's the only reasons they were cut, but time constraints was probably a problem. Sakurai mentioned that Lucina moved up from being an alt because they had to cut a character mid-development, so she was only there to pad the roster, and I'm assuming Doc and Dark Pit got the same treatment because two other cuts happened. 3 clones made up for 3 cut veterans. I'm assuming Snake (THIS IS BULL AND INEXCUSABLE), Squirtle and Ivysaur were planned to be cut from the beginning. TL:DR: It's either Lucina, Doc and Dark Pit or nothing at all. The former is the winning option. |

I guess that's still replacing them per se, but not the same idea. |
I forgot if I ever posted in this thread. At any rate I'm gonna just get straight to it:
Spoiler:

The Wario trophy leak kinda got me in a Warioware mood.
Now I need this song in Smash. |
So the Shulk leak was true. I'm worried about the full roster then. x.x

Shulk was the one character next to Ghirahim that I wanted playable, and I'm glad he was officially confirmed. And what do you know, the art's the same as in the leaked pictures. If this doesn't convince still-skeptics that the leak is 100% real, I don't know what will. And that list of rumored playables from the link Pinkie-Dawn provided must be real too, because the details after the leak are 100% true thanks to Shulk's reveal. So, playable Ridley guys (and Mewtwo!!!). Go nuts! xD
(Kinda ruined the surprise though... the leaker couldn't wait one more week?) |
Good to see official confirmation, and also getting to see him properly now with all those moves and using the Monado. Interesting play style! And I really like that Riki and Dunban show up in the final smash (but what about Reyn time!?)
Gaur plains being in as a stage and tune is excellent as well. Cannot wait. Also (Assist trophy image): http://www.smashbros.com/en-uk/images/howto/entry6-7.jpg uhhhh |

Waitwaitwait, is this real? As a playable character or just a trophy?! |
Trophy, trophy!
http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry6.html Assist trophies, there's other pages too (like pokeball Pokemon). Pretty sure Midna was shown off as a trophy ages back though, unless I imagined that? |
Quote:
I don't really care that much for Shulk. His moveset doesn't really interest me that much and to be honest, I'm surprised that Nintendo decided to choose a character from Xenoblade Chronicles from all games instead of a more classic Nintendo franchise such as Wario, Ganondorf, and a Golden Sun/DK character? Either one would have been a nice addition. |
Quote:
(It also seems from other leaks earlier on that Wario and Ganondorf are in, and imo they are likely to be in regardless). |
Anyone else feel annoyed about the amount of complaints about having another sword fighter in the game?
That's like complaining about too many fighters using their hands and feet. >__> |
Starting roster (from japanese eShop)
Spoiler:
In comparison, full roster: Spoiler:
Leaving: -Bowser Jr -Wario -Game&Watch -Ganondorf -ROB -Ness -Jigglypuff -Duck Hunt -Falco -Doctor Mario -Lucina -Dark Pit As unlockables. 12 characters. Woooow Wario being unlockable is SUPER lame. |
It's interesting to note that Luigi and Toon Link are in the starting roster, making the latter our first clone starter. As for Wario being an unlockable, it's not the first time this happened to him. *points to Mario Golf 64 and Mario Kart 7*

You know what would make me a happy girl? Earthworm Jim as a playable character. But I'd be totally fine with him as an assist trophy or some sort of appearance that isn't just a trophy. I don't know about all of you but Jim is like one cool (groovy) worm to me.

Supposedly, this is a leaked image, but:
http://sickr.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/ganondorf_smash_small.png?w=474&h=345 Ganondorf is in, maybe? o: Or is it fake? |
@DDDchu: Never gonna happen, but I could absolutely get behind that 100%.
@Dragon: from one of the commercials. A slip up on Nintendo's part, but we already knew Falcondorf was in. Quote:
Eh, I can't get behind the Shulk hype. The best thing about that trailer was Bowser. It's absolutely a "because I didn't play the games" thing, but even then I never would, because I'm just generally underwhelmed by both castles, swords and dragons/elfin fantasy settings and realistic/anime human based designs, which essentially kills Fire Emblem for me, too. In all my years, I've never been into that. I'm too much of a cartoony sort of guy, and Little Mac happens to just fit that bill, along with Villager and even WFT. I can't even recall if I've ever played a Punch-Out (outside of WW:Mega Microgame$), but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a friend play it back in the day. Just saying, even characters coming from games I haven't played can still get me excited, but for me it's purely aesthetic. All the more reason I need someone from Rhythm Heaven, really. I suppose in fairness there's way more cartoony characters than not, hah, I just feel like I could do with a few more creatures in there too. Visual stimulation just by virtue of being non-human helps the roster pop, I think. ETA: You know what? I hope the WarioWare stage returns in the WiiU version. I'm not done having fun on that stage yet. |
