Playtime has ended.

Kurtofan posted:

It's not certain or anything, but Shulk is rumoured to be in, according to the E3/Gematsu leaker.

Besides that, it would make sense to included Xenoblade representation since there's a new game coming up on Wii U.

Shulk is the one that can replace Snake's moveset, right? I really hope that moveset is available even if the character (Snake) isn't, especially for my wife's sake.

Shulk is in the game but is GameStop exclusive. Each store will stock two copies.

So you mean he's freely available from any retailer in PAL territories and Japan?

Pac Man's final smash can be the slingshot from the second game. It'll function exactly the same as Snake's final smash.

I've never played Xenoblade, but if Shulk were in, I would think he'd be more likely to replace Ike's moveset, looking at him.

It'd probably be something like that, yeah. In game he's somewhere around the middle of your party speed wise, but the big thing about him is he's still getting used to using the Monado, so yeah, that'd translate to a slightly slower and stronger attack style. It'd be hard to guess what his final smash would be though, since he has a few really strong Monado based attacks, none of them really stand out as an "Oh poo poo!"

I really doubt they'd go to the trouble of including a semi-third party character just to give him a copy/pasted moveset.

I wouldn't think so. His whole thing is that his sword has a bunch of magic powers, a lot of which are buffs/debuffs. He doesn't really have much in common with Ike besides using a sword. The real reason we need Shulk in is so that we can get a Reyn assist trophy.

I'd guess either Monado Buster as a powerful attack/insta-kill for either one target or a decently large area in front of him, or something involving seeing the future. Maybe he gets a vision that makes it so he dodges all attacks and does more damage for a time.

Guys, if any Xenoblade character is going to be playable, it should be this man:

I can forgive a lack of Xenoblade characters as long as the Bionis Leg, complete with the awesome music and the shadow of the Mechonis hanging in the background, becomes a stage. I'm thinking that if anything Xeno-related is in the game, we won't get it til around E3, which is when we'll probably get more X news.

I feel like a Moonside stage would be far more rad. Alternatively a stage that transitions between Fourside/Moonside.

Also while we're on the "things from Earthbound/Mother that should be in Smash4," negative man should totally be random chance replacement for the sandbag. Or the goldeen of assist trophy.

3DS will most likely get a Mother 3 stage to keep with the handheld theme.
For that same reason, I'm hoping the 3DS will get a Wave Race stage to compliment the WiiU's pilotwings stage.

I think it would be really cool to see what Nintendo would do with the Eryth Sea. Also, for maximum fan rage, Nintendo should include the really spoilery party member from Xenoblade to ruin it for all the players who haven't gotten that far :twisted:

i never played xenoblade, is it yet another attempt at telling the tortured xenogears story, the way xenosaga was and failed to be because they needed a budget ten times bigger than what they had?

It's not really. Xenosaga was loving awful, Xenoblade is more than passable, as long as you don't take every MMO-esque side quest, because there's a billion of them and they're not worth it.

There's no narrative relation whatsoever between Xenogears/Xenosaga and Xenoblade.

Hey, they didn't give Marth an American voice in Melee or Brawl. Speaking of, I wonder if they'll give him an English voice now that he has a game out in English.
