Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Discussion

Hmm, I don't know about having another one from Zelda. With the Sheik split, that's four characters from that universe now; I don't think Melee or Brawl ever exceeded that.

I highly doubt Ike will make an appearance, probably still a toss-up between Chrom or Lucina.

The Ridley one is still confusing me because I don't recognize that stage. If it was a Metroid themed stage, I would be leaning more towards Ridley being one of the new, stage boss elements.

I don't have a screenshot of the Ridley preview to compare, but I'm almost positive it was the new Metroid stage they were showing off earlier.

It was also directly after talking about Yellow Devil and bosses from various games appearing as stage hazards. In fact, I think that it was mentioned that other bosses would show up at the same time it showed Ridley's shadow.

Am I the only one underwhelmed by what they showed of megaman? His animations looked pretty simple and slow compared to a lot of what was shown. Heck look at how flashy and fast Greninja is, sure I wouldn't ask for megaman to be like him but...

I'm afraid Megaman might just be a filler character with no purpose besides help sell the game

Literally any character looks simple and boring in the hands of the average player. See him played by a professional and i guarantee it'll be flashier than you consider it to be now.

For Fun/For Glory mode is great. Because I'm no competitive player and prefer to play with items because I'm a weenie.

Speaking of...

I can't agree, really. What I've seen so far is everything I could have ever hoped for in a Smash Bros. rendition of Mega Man.

I slipped on an Ice Climber and got covered in boo-boos!

I think every single one of Megaman's skills they showed in that montage looked slow, weak and very visually unappealing. His attacks just so look so pathetically small and ineffectual.

Not a fan of that character at all.

???? His aerials all look very strong all with great range. His up and down air both seem to keep going until they hit the blast zone, but the up air probably disappears halfway or so up. His crouch slide and buster shot have stopping power unlike anything we've seen in other titles (the only comparable projectile is falco's laser but megaman's is A LOT faster). His gear projectile has incredible range, probably the longest range projectile in his arsenal, and its ability to cover the diagonal directions above and below him as well as being able to be used as a pick up item makes megaman's control of other characters in any direction around his body completely unique and extremely difficult to handle. Pretty much any of these moves can be used for approach and there's a much higher chance you're going to be successful compared to other approaches we've seen in other games outside of meta knight tornado spam.

I only mean it from a visual point of view though. His attacks might be hot pomegranate, but they just look really boring to me. Like I could play him but not feel like i'm doing any real damage.

I think it's a lot harder to jump to that conclusion without playing than what i said in my post.

Pic of the day. Your character starts a Smash Run as a relatively ordinary fighter. But before the game, you can outfit yourself with certain items that can help power you up early, which will give you a big advantage later on!! These items are much like the Powers you'd find in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

As much as I hope to see Chrom in this game, I really want Eliwood with Durandal (at least as an assist lol) somewhere in the smash bros franchise. On the star fox side, perhaps Krystal with the staff? Do you guys think Ganondorf got pushed out considering that Shiek is a separate playable character? If not maybe he will be Ghirahim or Demise? That being said, I'm already really happy with the game as it is and greninja is possibly my new main just because Ike is now gone and idk about toon link anymore. Hype hype hype!!!

What makes you think Ike is gone? I'd say the simple fact that a very large amount of brawl newcomers made it back into this means Sakurai is making very little or NO cuts at all this generation. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. You shouldn't cut anyone off just yet.

the fact that he's no longer relevant, i agree there's a slight chance that he might be back but i don't consider it that much.

I'm getting worried for ness/lucas though.

Ness is an N64 veteran, he'll definitely be back. Lucas, however...

As said above, Ike is irrelevant now, they were quick to get rid of Roy when Ike came around, so I'd say its pretty likely he's on the chopping block. I would rather they just add in Chrom instead of replacing but I just don't see it happening that way.

Im worried for Lucas as well as Capt Falcon and MR G&W, but I get the feeling its gonna be a troll until the 3ds release....

Ike and Marth were the only (not awakening) fire emblem characters referenced in Awakenings main story mode, having an entire bonus chapter set vs ikes descendent priam using ikes sword ragnell. They also made no hesitation multiple times in the DLC as calling ike various versions of "the strongest person to have lived".

He's in a much better position for returning than Roy ever was.

The Ridley one is still confusing me because I don't recognize that stage. If it was a Metroid themed stage, I would be leaning more towards Ridley being one of the new, stage boss elements.

I don't know why you don't recognise it,it has been shown a bunch of times.
It's the Pyrosphere area from Metroid: Other M

oh i don't even hope to see roy return, i didn't even mention him.

but why bring back ike who as you said is only mentioned and referenced, when you can bring chrom, lucina, or even robin who each are the stars of the game.

You know considering that Chrom and Lucina are like Marth (Lucina is practically a clone) ,Id hope to see Chrom using a Lance at least once, but Ive thought about it and id rather have a Villian from the franchise instead.

Or Athos ( I really love FE7)
