The Super Smash Bros. Discussion and HEY join this idiots http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Smashpunc - Games

This seems like Nintendo isn't going for characters that should be in Super Smash U, but for characters no one would expect and would be fun. Seriously. This has potential to be my favorite Smash Bros already because of these newcomers.

[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;40996775]Wii Fit Trainer is a weird concept that looks like it might be executed well, but if we're getting stuff like that I want a roster that's at least fifty strong. And that has to include Falco.[/QUOTE] You know, I've got the weird feeling that everyone who was in prior might be in again if they kick off with showing relatively obscure characters. Most of the clones will probably come with a different move set or fighting style though. [sp]That is obliviously not because I don't want Lucario or Ike to get tossed off. [/sp]

[QUOTE=Rufia;40996839]Wii Fit Trainer is not quite the same as ROB or Game and Watch. They were unexpected because no one really recognised them. We all know who the Wii Fit Trainer is (at least I assume we all do) it's just shes a really odd character to place in a fighting game. Although the same could be said about the villager but I think 2 of the 3 new characters being revealed being, essentially, joke characters is a concerning development.[/QUOTE] If you want a joke character, google Dan from Street Fighter. Wii Fit Trainer looks like she can hold her weight in the game.

[QUOTE=Fangz;40996878]If you want a joke character, google Dan from Street Fighter. Wii Fit Trainer looks like she can hold her weight in the game.[/QUOTE] I'm not saying she can't be good. In fact she looks like a fun character to play. I'm just saying there are characters I would rather see, especially since we already have Villager to fill the role of "Character that you would never expect to see kicking your arse".

Here are some developer facts: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ[/media] - characters outlined on 3DS version to make them easier to see - Bowser now stands more upright - Bowser running speed and moves have been adjusted - total numbers of characters same on each platform - more stages based on handheld games for 3DS - more stages based on console stages for Wii U - more primary colors on Wii U version - visual effects added as well to highlight quick movements - Samus is closer to her Other M design - she now has black lines and perforated metal - Pit is now the Kid Icarus uprising version with new moves - he has upper dash arm and guardian orbitals - Village uses sappling, umbrella, slingshot, fireworks and weeds - he can also shovel the ground and attack with a bowling ball and can grab anything - something he picks up he can use again at any time, including Mario's fire ball and Samus' missile - Mega Man doesn't punch/kick a lot, but uses the Mega Buster - can do so while walking/jumping - he can also use the charge shot as a smash attack - sliding and Rush coil are other mobile attacks - he also has a variety of moves he gets from series bosses, including Metal Blade - Metal Blade can be picked up and used as an item - the Crash Bomber can be attached to an opponent - The Top Spin is a spinning attack - the Hard Knuckle has a meteor impact - the Slash Claw and Flame Sword are air attacks - The Leaf Shield protects and can be thrown - the Spark Shot will morph Mega Man's hands, but will overheat him - Wii Fit trainer moves with grace - her basic moves are based off of her fitness exercises - she may also give herself health tips while battling - Wii Fit Trainer's final smash is called Wii Fit - Smash Bros. Miiverse has launched - Sakurai will be posting - characters page on the official website

It wouldn't be the year of luigi without luigi in the new smash bros!

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;40996946]The Developer Direct from Sakurai [video=youtube;vQD1yJinzeQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ[/video][/QUOTE] Oh God literal gameplay

Also there's no 3DS screenshots of her, could she be Wii U only?

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;40996974]Also there's no 3DS screenshots of her, could she be Wii U only?[/QUOTE] Confirmed in the video above that the games share characters. Different stages, though.

I think I found my new main.

Ball says Wii Fit on it, possible projectile move for Trainer? Sorry if late [IMG]http://www.smashbros.com/images/character/mario/screen-6.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE=blerb;40996996]Confirmed in the video above that the games share characters. Different stages, though.[/QUOTE] And not to nitpick but the wording in the video is "The total number of charcters (in the 3ds version) is the same as the WiiU version" It doesn't say that they share characters, just that they have the same number.

Bowser looks really fucking awesome now.

i love how accepting everyone is of WFT :v:

[QUOTE=Leyr;40997095]Ball says Wii Fit on it, possible projectile move for Trainer? Sorry if late [IMG]http://www.smashbros.com/images/character/mario/screen-6.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] See the dev video. Wii Fit trainer brings it out.

Am I the only one who sees the Trainer as a nice character? The concept may sound dumb but is not that bad.

[QUOTE=El Fonz0;40997107]i love how accepting everyone is of WFT :v:[/QUOTE] Wii Fit Trainer is a god tier character

By how in that video it's worded specifically that both consoles will have the same "amount" of characters make me think that will mean that we will end up seeing platform exclusive characters. ...Ehh.

[QUOTE=Leyr;40997095]Ball says Wii Fit on it, possible projectile move for Trainer? Sorry if late [IMG]http://www.smashbros.com/images/character/mario/screen-6.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Looks like a side B move to me.

[QUOTE=XSFOX;40997132]By how in that video it's worded specifically that both consoles will have the same "amount" of characters make me think that will mean that we will end up seeing platform exclusive characters. ...Ehh.[/QUOTE] We know that Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U will have cross play so they would have to both have the same characters

Also did [B]ANYONE[/B] notice how OP Trainer's Final Smash is?

I wonder if this means that the 3DS version will be bare bones (like Super Smash Bros 64) compared to the Wii U version to make room for the characters.

[QUOTE=Mr. Zombie;40997170]Also did [B]ANYONE[/B] notice how OP Trainer's Final Smash is?[/QUOTE] It reminds me of Mario's Final Smash

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;40997181]It reminds me of Mario's Final Smash[/QUOTE] But where as Mario's final smash was a straight horizontal smash, this one goes horizontal and both diagonals. And it's fast as hell.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;40996946]The Developer Direct from Sakurai [video=youtube;vQD1yJinzeQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ[/video][/QUOTE] Well, so much for speculating how Megaman's moveset will be laid out :v: It's surprisingly close to how Megaman worked in the fanmade Super Smash Land. Funny enough. -Mega buster with optional charging -Charge Kick -Top Spin (it was stationary instead of a dash attack, though) -Leaf Shield -Crash Bomber (although it functioned more like Hard Knuckle does in Smash 4, also it didn't stick to players) -Hard Knuckle (it went forward instead of downward) -Air Shooter (an upward-traveling back-air attack) -Item 1 (recovery move, creates a platform that can be used. Megaman cannot use it again until he touches solid ground, other characters can recover again though) I mean the character is primarily designed around jumpin and shooting and no punching, so I'm not surprised that he's primarily projectile-based. I expect the Villager to be a royal pain in the ass if you're Megaman though, since he can toss literally every attack you have back at you except for a few.

I, for one, welcome our new trainer overlord.

[QUOTE=XSFOX;40997132]By how in that video it's worded specifically that both consoles will have the same "amount" of characters make me think that will mean that we will end up seeing platform exclusive characters. ...Ehh.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind seeing the Wii Fit Trainer on the Wii U and a Gameboy or Game Boy Advance character on the 3DS, really. It seems like the 3DS version will emphasize Nintendo's handheld history, so why not go full ham?

WFT should be an unlockable character, imo.

I literally hate nothing about this reveal.
