Unite: MASH!!
~They've got the bad guys on the run!~

ImpAtom posted:

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.

Much as I'd love to see her (really, anybody from Uprising) get in, I agree that she does seem kind of redundant. Especially with Rosalina already filling the graceful, goddess character already.

It's only forever, not long at all
I haven't completed KI:U so I haven't seen her actually fight (If she does) but to parrot someone else the only thing I can see is the glamblaster being a final smash. What would she be? Another archer-type character?

She's got a variety of laser attacks. Blasts and homing lasers and pillars that rise up from the ground and such. She'd probably be a long range/keepaway character.

Pokemon is pretty much the one franchise that I'm okay has multiple representatives. Mostly cause they all feel unique.

Especially Pichu/Pikachu and Mewtwo/Lucario

I really don't understand why people still say Lucario and Mewtwo are similar. Mewtwo's way floatier and Lucario's more of an up close fighter. The only thing they have in common are a charging standing B move.

Sitting here I realized Megaman is going to be in this game.

Do you think they'll try to give him a voice? I think the only one that doesn't grunt/talk is Samus (suit) and it feels like it would be kinda odd if he didn't make any kind of sound at all.

Save for their B neutral move, Mewtwo and Lucario are nothing alike.

And Pichu was a joke character.

I think people are just trying to explain why Mewtwo was cut from Brawl. Since Young Link, Pichu, Dr Mario and Roy were cut and "replaced" (save for Dr.Mario and Pichu), it's easy to think "oh, so Lucario is a clone of Mewtwo."

I doubt it. They're trying to keep the NES aesthetic for him so it'd be really weird to give him a voice.

Actually, it's more than that.

quote:

Brawl's Lucario and Super Smash Bros. Melee's Mewtwo share some properties. They both have bipedal bodies with small arms and a tail. Lucario's Aura is similar in appearance to Mewtwo's shadow energy. Both characters also possess floaty air movement, non-damaging Up Special Moves, fast and long distanced rolls, and similar Neutral Special Moves - Lucario's Aura Sphere grows in size as it is charged and damages opponents who contact it during its charging phase, in the same way as Mewtwo's Shadow Ball.

Lucario just started out as a modified Mewtwo clone and got differentiated from there. Fox and Wolf feel more different from each other than Lucario and Mewtwo do, to me.

That is not X, no. X hasn't actually ever been in a fighting game as far as I know (unless you count Zero's alt costume in MvC3).

Yeah, but after replaying the Palutena battle on Intensity 9.0 in KI:U, I think that she could be a remarkably vicious combatant at any range if she cuts loose. She doesn't HAVE to be another "graceful, gentle" princess-type of fighter.

They already did that in Brawl and it was pretty meh.

Honestly I liked Uprising enough that they could take that entire game's cast and make a fighting game with them alone and I'd be pretty happy.

It's worth mentioning for the folks who haven't played or seen KI:U that "graceful, gentle" really isn't Palutena's personality in that game at all. Sure, she's concerned about her goddess duties, but she has quite a mischievous and playful streak that does a lot to lend the game its enjoyable atmosphere.

It would be kind of neat if characters from KI:U gave commentary in much the same way that Metal Gear characters did during Snake's Codec calls in Brawl.

I'm hoping that Doc Louis live-comments Little Mac's moves like he does in the intro video, that's my one big hope for this game.

You have more time to get the Wii U at least. But get the 3DSXL and get the awesome games already out for it!

Usually I get games physically on 3DS, but I'm thinking about going digital for Smash 4 for the slight possibility I'm ever out with my 3DS and run into somebody else with the game. The Wii U version I'll definitely be going with a disk though, rather save the harddrive space for digital only games.

I wonder how mad people would be if Sakurai didn't tell us any more of the roster, newcomer or veteran, and just left them as unlockable secrets.

Bonus points if the roster doesn't show you how many characters are still locked, and people continue to find new ones for at least a few weeks after release.
