It would make the game unfair and you know how Smash people get about fairness.

(if you pause during a tourney match (even accidentally), you have to immediately kill yourself, as an example)

If you pause during many fighting games you forfeit the match to the point where some people have sticks where you can turn off the start button

That's the best way to start a new page.

Also I love how "anime swordsman" is a complaint. What other kinds of swordsman are you expecting in this giant crossover of Japanese titles? Of course they're gonna be anime. And swords are awesome and better than more punches, there's a whole lot of punches already, even more than swords ya know.

And above all else, to complain about Shulk being just another anime swordsman you have to be willfully denying everything you saw in the reveal trailer today. He can see the future and switch between five different modes. That's hella different from anyone else in the cast. Shulk owns and anyone says differently is just trying to show how cool they are for hating on animes. :colbert:

His arm cannon could be a projectile and his final smash could be the Berserker armor. Also we could have Forces as BGM and The Eclipse as a stage.

everytime people complain about anime swordsmen I want another anime swordsman added. Throw Guts and Samurai Jack in. Let's have Roronoa Zoro fighting Marth, Link, and Meta Knight.

and then throw in more characters that no one expected or wanted. Anime King Arthur, Anime William Wallace, an Anime Black Knight, Anime Oda nobunaga, add Mugen and Jin from Samurai Champloo

On a happier note, this is gonna be the hottest Smash Bros yet!

Keep in mind also they have to fit all this crap into a 2.1 GB cartridge. It's sort of incredible how much they already fit in there.

Now that you mention it, that doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. From what I understand, a 2.1GB game would still be shipping on a 4GB cart, so I don't get why they wouldn't fill that extra space with music or whatever else they have lying around.

Well technically, he is in Smash. :(



Also, the Duck Hunt Dog trailer needs to start with Mewtwo fighting Ridley, but then it turns out Mewtwo came from a Master Ball and Ridley an Assist Trophy. Then a figure emerges from the shadows and looks at the camera.

I wonder how Ridley's boss status is going to work anyways. We already know that when the Yellow Devil is defeated he explodes taking out anyone nearby that isn't the shot that killed him.

So what is Ridley going to do when you defeat him? It's going to be super lame if all of the bosses just explode, so I don't see that happening.

Generally, playable characters will respawn with one less stock when KO'd, and I don't expect Ridley to be any different.

I could see him exploding too, honestly. But if the bosses all go out differently, he'll probably do some kind of big blast or laser at the stage and then run off for a while. Overall the same concept and result, most likely, just a different visual effect.

The only time I can think of Kirby getting a not-neutral B move from a character is his Project: M ability from Lucas, so probably yeah.

So I know the Final Five thing is a bit out there, but what would everyone's ideal Final Five be?

I love the idea of Sami with Snake's moves, I'd like to see Professor Layton in there because we know he is drat good with a sword (but not another swordsman oh noooo), Neku Sakuraba would be amazing with all his different pins (and a gigantic Tin Pin Slammer Final Smash where he just flings a bunch of tin pins around that KO whoever they hit), and then Bayonetta and Waluigi to round it out.

Related, but I want an Assist Trophy that's Mewtwo, Lucas, Wolf and Ice Climbers. Yes, all of them at once.

They turn up, and have their own fight. With blackjack, and hookers.

Never quacked for this
I'd love to have Neku because there's a shitton of potential variety there, like Palutena and Megaman combined, plus a potential Ice Climbers-esque setup with your partner under control of the AI (Neutral B performs a combination attack, changing your Neutral B changes which partner's with you. Final Smash is Lv. 3 fusion ofc)

Or Tin Pin Slammers, can't go wrong with Tin Pin.

They don't show character trophies unless they're not playable. They even joked about this with the Fake Palutania trophy in the one Direct. Dude ain't in, straight up confirmed.

I think you missed the post where this is just a 'Who would you want the last five characters to be?' hypothetical thing. No one is actually expecting Guts or Yuri Lowell in the game.

The thing that bothers me about the Fire Emblem characters is in Fire Emblem there are a ton of character types. Sword, Spear, Axe, Magic, and Archery. Yet in three games and five or six characters from the series there has only ever been sword guys, with one of them being half a magic guy.

How about Lyn as a spear fighter, or someone as an Axe fighter?

I care about those characters because of the games they come from and the characters that they actually are, not because they're dudes with swords.

We've gone over this. All the main characters are sword fighters, so they're the ones that get represented. Of the non-sword main characters, none of them are relevant. And Robin is a mixed magic/sword character.

And Lyn doesn't even use a spear? She uses swords. She uses a more Chinese-style sword than the rapiers and claymores everyone else is swinging around, but it's still a sword.
