I want the Saffron City stage from the N64 game to return. I just like the platforms and atmosphere of that map. I don't care if they cut the Pokémon hazard.

Actually I wouldn't mind the N64 Peach's Castle and Hyryle Castle returning too. Also Subcon from Melee, just because I like the unaltered SMB2 music.

The Dragoon is a fun idea in concept but just doesn't work. I always turned it off.

Also hated how the dragoon always turns off the smash ball until someone finally completes it.

RIP any characters with bad vertical recovery that get stuck between buildings, like DK, and Ness because of how his up B works.

I feel like the successor to Saffron City was Fourside, which had a similar structure and feel. I liked Fourside better, honestly.

I want to see a 64-era stage return, though, and it'd have to be one of those three stages you mentioned.

With how they're actually updating the visuals for past stages this time, it'd be really neat to see N64 stages return. HD Hyrule Castle :swoon:

I had no idea this was a thing. It looks so bad, like... the budget had to have only been 10 dollars or something.

I admit I smiled really hard seeing Dial M For Monkey in a video game. This is a very diverse cast!

Although, this also proves that even with a well-picked roster, you still need solid combat mechanics behind it. It would be so cool to see some of these in a proper brawler.

I assumed the uploader just turned off the music so you could hear what the characters were saying. Or maybe it's really poo poo so they just turned it off because it was annoying them.

Im gonna be mad if they dont allow a 5th person to use the pad to zoom and zip around the battlefield and take photos. Sorta like how Melee let you do but without taking up a player slot and without messing with the player's view.

I was just thinking about Mewtwo, and I think he is going to be left out in an attempt to future-proof the series. If he gets in more than one game, people could consider him grandfathered in, like Marth for instance. And that would take up a pokemon slot on the roster, which is bad because Sakurai, I think, wants those slots to be ever-evolving (heh) to include the newest pokemon generations. Charizard is just taking the place of Pokemon Trainer, and very well may be replaced in the next game as he has only appeared as a solo fighter in one game. I'm getting meta with this poo poo.

I am certain Mewtwo will be one of the last unlockable hidden challengers. And both of its mega evos will be the final smash (X or Y triggered at random), or at the very least Mega Y.

Besides, being away from the shackles of a turn-based RPG with four move limits would let most of them really show off. Smash Bros: Pokemon Edition would be the game that everyone who ever purchased a game in that series wanted from the day they first saw the little monsters.

It'd be like the anime, but actually good.

That Pokemon fighting game that might be happening is really interesting for that reason, there is a lot of variety to tap into. I hope they do go absolutely loving nuts on that, too, I want Mismagius to fight Magnezone.

Actually the fights are the one reason I really watched the anime as a kid. Being able to dodge and have to aim abilities would be actually fun.

What do people think about Palutena here? I liked Kid Icarus Uprising and I'm ok with her inclusion but I can't say she's the first character that came to mind.

She was a boss fight, right? I'm curious about her moveset.

I don't think she's a particularly interesting choice if she gets in, but maybe they'll surprise me. Most of her moves are varieties of laser beam and it's easy enough to see how they'd fit into a moveset (final smash: Palutena Glam Blaster) but it's pretty generic and uninspiring.

Well they did free her up from being Pit's Final Smash, so she isn't a 0% chance or anything.

Sounds like most people would prefer Medusa or Hades, though i'd prefer Hades as a boss in potential Boss Battles mode.

I don't think Hades would be a great character to be honest. His actual abilities are all fairly meh and people mostly remember him for his personality.

What he would be would be a great stage. There's an Inside Hades level in Kid Icarus Uprising and they could have him commenting on the fights which would capture what is fun about the character a lot more than him being a fighter.
