Super Smash Bros. Thread

[Protoman Blues]

Today's Smash Bros. screen. According to GoNintendo, whenever we see a pic early it means a potential new character reveal is coming shortly. I have no idea if it's true or not, but hey...

[Quickman]

Basically... Mewtwo isn't getting his job back, is he?

[Protoman Blues]

Actually, it probably means he is I'd say.

[Quickman]

Here's hoping!

If not, I'll be angry.

[Protoman Blues]

If I were a betting man, with the Mega Evolutions there's no reason why they wouldn't keep both Lucario AND bring back Mewtwo.

[Mirby]

My thoughts exactly, PB. See?

Also, Sakurai swears there's nothing X/Y related to announce today.

[Nexus]

Alt skin costumes confirmed.

[Protoman Blues]

That is interesting.

[Tsukishiro]

Alt skin costumes confirmed.

I hope that there's a male voice to go with that reskin(not that it wouldn't be funny as hell if there wasn't)...

[Ninja Lou]

SKINS?!?!?!?!?!?!




Pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls.......

[Police Girl]

Alt skin costumes confirmed.

Cool, just like Wario in Brawl, but with different voices.

[Protoman Blues]

SKINS?!?!?!?!?!?!




Pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls.......

You and your female Sexy Marth.

This means that Dr. Mario, the Dr. Mario that I went out of my WAY to retool, will be just a mere skin rather than his own legit playable character.

What's next? A Daisy skin for Peach? A Blues skin for Rock? A planet where apes evolve from man?!?!

[ViperAcidZX]

Didn't Peach already have a palette swap to mimic Daisy in Brawl/Melee?
LOL, Planet of the Apes. XD

[Hypershell]

Her dress changes but her face/hair/voice remain the same.  The reason the trainers are interesting is that a male and female character shouldn't hypothetically have the same sound files (...unless they're silent?).

A Daisy skin for Peach?

Considering the odds against Daisy getting her own character slot (even though I'd MUCH prefer it that way), I'd actually be happy to hear that.

[Protoman Blues]

Link's downward strike was designed to change to a Meteor Smash when the tip of the sword is aligned just right at the start. However, it will be removed if it's deemed too powerful overall after some multiplayer play tests.

...I'm not quite sure what to think of this. Lou, your thoughts?

[Align]

So it's if your initial stab downwards hits just right, rather than if you land on someone while the sword is still pointed down?

[Ninja Lou]

Not a fan of this change

[Protoman Blues]

So it's if your initial stab downwards hits just right, rather than if you land on someone while the sword is still pointed down?

It sounds like it. I mean, what Sakurai said is true. This could make Link incredibly powerful, because unlike TOON LINK, he doesn't die if he does it. Plus, it's right at the beginning of the smash. However, the downside from this is that it might completely change the power of the initial smash and force people like Lou to completely change the way Link is played. It will all depend on if the smash keeps its original power.

It could also mean that they give Link's other smashes some actual power.

[Mirby]

But if they decide it's TOO powerful, they'll remove it.

So there's that.

[Protoman Blues]

Which is also a kick in the Triforce, because Link has been "low-tier" in almost every game. Perhaps he deserves to be a bit overpowered.

[RetroRespecter]

Nobody "deserves" to be overpowered; not even Link.

[Protoman Blues]

Okay then, how about just powered!

[Sapphire Knight]

Doesn't Link bounce off people when he does that? o3o

[Protoman Blues]

MARTH

[Police Girl]

To the surprise of absolutely nobody. Though looking at his getup I'm inclined to believe he's based off of FE3/FE12 Marth instead of FE1/Shadow Dragon Marth as he had been before. I wonder if his original getup will be available as an alt costume?

I wonder if he'll be available from the start this time, he basically was in Brawl as he was the first one you unlocked if you went through classic mode.

Here's this.
