I doubt it, but if we do, my bet it's Duck Hunt Dog's reveal.

I think he's secret like R.O.B. was in Brawl, I'm hoping for Ridley.

I, uh, I don't you how to tell you this. So, uh, I love you.

People want Ridley in Smash Brothers. DEAL WITH IT.

Why do people like Shulk so much? He's just another generic human swordsman.

Quote: HeyitsHotDog

Lucina, Ganondorf, Ness, Dark Pit, G&W, Wario (Unless he's revealed this week) R.O.B., Bowser Jr., Duck Hunt Dog and Dr. Mario are unlockable. I'm hoping there are more unlockable characters, if there are my guess is Ridley, Chorus Kids, Impa, and Dixie Kong. If that is all the ulockable characters then it would be 14 unlockables, 2 less then Brawl.

I hear the last four may be DLC characters.

He isn't. His special gimmick allows him to buff and debuff his attributes on the fly. Also, his sword is different in that the beams in the center extend to make a lot of his attacks hit twice, as well as giving them great range.

As for Shulk as a character, he's actually quite different from most JRPG protagonists. As a mechanic, he prefers to be working in his lab and studying rather than being out fighting, and he's rather methodical and strategic as opposed to being a meathead.

Big deal.

The fact he's human alone makes him no more interesting than other characters, but that doesn't even sound very unique to JRPGs.

So what you're saying is, since I'm human, I'm the same as Lebron James because he's human?

JAPAN GOT A SMASH DEMO ON THE ESHOP.

Yep, We're probably getting one soon too.

The characters you can play as are Mario, Link, Villager, Mega Man, and Pikachu. Only Battlefield.

I was talking about characters in video games. Shulk may be this badass dude to others, but he's just another human to me. The whole JRPG thing and the fact he wields a sword kind of makes him seem even more generic.

Hopefully they give us for one soon, otherwise why else would Sakurai post that news on the english POTD

GET HYPE

Falco confirmed, also Dark Pit is a clone apparently

Ness is also confirmed, alongside the SNES F-ZERO stage.

Sorry for double post, but Sakurai talks about Alph.



"Pic of the day. The hero from Pikmin 3, Alph joins the battle!! He has pretty much the same set skills as Olimar since he's basically just his variation. He can't use Rock Pikmin either."



"They are different characters, so they each get their own title treatment on the character-selection screen. See? It says Alph."

Rock Pikmin deconfirmed.


Two streamers have the full games before street date. Here's what I've figured out.

-Falco, Ness, and Dark Pit are confirmed. They use the same art as the leak.
-Dark Pit might use Pit's Brawl moveset.
-The Gameboy stage is a scrolling Kirby's Adventure stage.
-Magicant confirmed as Mother stage.

EDIT:
-Magicant has the various hazards, like the Flying men and the Eraser. It also shows scenes from Earthbound and strangely Earthbound Zero (Including Ninten) I don't know if Mother 3 is part of it. It is 4 main platforms, other platforms appear on and off the stage. Dr. Andonuts ship comes in sometimes as a platform.
-Mii's have their own slot if you turn customization on, so that leaves only 4 characters left unrevealed, if the leaks are to be real, they are Mewtwo, Chorus Men, Dixie Kong and Ridley. This would mean both Ninka/Vaanrose leaks and the Gematsu would also be correct. This is where leaks collide!
-N's Castle has platforms that come up the sides covering the gaps whenever the 3 Pokemon come to attack. Reshiram attacks with heat waves and throws fire at random places and platforms.
-Duck Hunt Dog confirmed, walks like he did in Duck Hunt, a duck is on his back that sometimes helps with attacks. For one of his specials he summons an NES Gunmen to shoot the opponent with a gun. His oppening animation is him walking in and laughing.

EDIT:
-Tomadachi Life stage's music is the Tomadachi Life theme and an orchestral Wii Mii Channel theme.
-Pictochat 2.0 has new sketches, including a Clock and Mario pipes you can go through, if you go down into one of them than you appear on the other side.
-Duck Hunt Dog uses the Duck for a really good recovery, he can throw a Frisbee for one of his specials, and uses his paws for most attacks. He kicks an explosive can which I can't tell what game it is from. The sounds for his attacks are 8-bit NES-Inspired. He seems pretty OP, he's fairly speedy and a powerhouse.
-Master Hand takes Ridley's wind attack from SSE.

EDIT:
-Game & Watch confirmed, uses his look from old Smash games (Not from Pacman's trailer). Nothing really changed.
-Squirtle deconfirmed by trophy. Meaning Ivysaur probably isn't in either. Removing Squirtle from the OP.
-The SNES F-ZERO stage has you fighting on the cars as they fight, like a reversed Big Blue, you see the backs instead of the sides. Platforms also fly in on the top, and the cars crash into each other so you can walk on it as well. If you fall down onto the road you are killed.
-Dr.Mario and Ganondorf confirmed. Still clones.
-Mushroomy Kingdom seems more to scale to Mario, and a bit more colorful.
-Wolf deconfirmed, he is merely a trophy.

EDIT:
-Wario confirmed!
-Lucina confirmed as unlockable.

A lot of info is here, So you can use this while i'm asleep and can't update further.

Alph? Why???? We don't need another clone! Just make him an alt or DLC!

Alph makes clones completely redundant though, since they could have just been alts.

Alph doesn't have any altered moves or stats. Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, Toon Link, and Ganondorf all do.

They didn't, he's confirmed alt from the Japanese build. Sakurai never said he had his own slot, his name appears when you select his alt though.

My point is that Alph is proof that Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, etc, all COULD have been alts rather than even tweaking them at all. The latter is just wasting time, the former gets more or less the same thing done only quicker. Might have meant other characters could have had more alts, since not everyone got more than just recolours.

DUCK HUNT FINAL SMASH

http://gyazo.com/178336b0e87d15a56af37d53cbc7f5d4

The dog used his final smash on... himself. ...deep.

Quote: MugoUrth

Duck Hunt Dog is fighting another Duck Hunt Dog. It's training mode.

Guys, remember that in Melee, Dr. Mario had altered stats from Mario, that's probably the main difference between Pit and Dark Pit along with a different move-set. You can call them clones all you want, but they were decided near the beginning of development

Duck Hunt Dog, interesting. We've seen some shocking entrants before, like Pichu, but this is as random as it gets!

Even with things I don't like, this is going to be a great game!

Well then... I can't wait for this one! With the leak confirmed(Old news, but I believe it now ) that's pretty much made me decide to dive into my money reserve and buy this game on launch. In 20+ days, of course... *twiddles fingers anxiously whilst hype intensifies*

Now that SSB4 is out in JPN, I think I should ask this question again.

Is it possible to change Taunts to the Circle Pad, and the movement to the D-Pad?

Fyi Alph doesn't have Rock Pikmin

Well then..

Watched the stream. The ESRB leak was indeed the final roster.

Hopefully we'll DLC. I'd like Ridley still.

ROB is back in.

Well, that's it everyone. It's been a pleasure speculating with you.

Final roster is here, and while it's not the best it could be, it's still wonderful. Mega Man, Little Mac, Robin, Greninja, Pacman, Duck Hunt Dog, Sakurai really went out of his way to surprise us. While none of the Hype 3 are in (K Rool, Mewtwo, or Ridley) I'm still satisfied.

One last thing, Bowser Jr's Final Smash.

I generally mean the anger that people generate, currently which I think windumup is feeling, is funny. As to that guy that actually cried, I honestly feel he's way too into this. Also, thank you for thinking i'm a jackass. Although, bypassing the censor is against the rules, but that's none of my business.

What ever it'll be removed likely and a slim chance of me being gnorked for a short bit.

Still the way people kept shouting "Ridley confirmed" over the tiniest thing and continuously begging for him was getting annoying. I somewhat have to agree with Taco, in that I didn't want him in either because of how nuts the fans went wanting him to be in.

Keeping Ridley off the roster and deconfirming him won't help at all. You realize that, correct? Having him in the roster will have those fans shut up.

I think's that'd be good. Making them feel better by saying he'll be in as DLC or Smash 5. It's better to be kind and caring than be mean and rude.
