...did Sakurai drop a Star Wars reference?

Damn, that's pretty awesome.

IS THAT A FUCKING AMERICAN FLAG MARIO MAIN CONFIRMED

Damn, some of these palettes and costumes look like they're gonna be pretty inspired.

Light Samus? Project M BTFO.

daym those are some nice alts we seem to be getting rather spoilt with them this time round alot more creative

Fucking America Mario, that's amazing

That Samus costume is pretty bad. I mean I like the palette, but if it's supposed to look like the Light Suit they kinda botched it. Why does it even have a yellow visor?

Probably so that it's more easily visible on heavy-white stages.

Well, I played as Mario and he sucks so unless they fix that up this is going to go to waste for the most part :/

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;45345987]Well, I played as Mario and he sucks so unless they fix that up this is going to go to waste for the most part :/[/QUOTE] it isn't a waste. a majority of players won't care if he 'sucks' or is 'low tier', they just want to play as their favourite nintendo characters.

I played a lot of Dr. Mario in Melee. I can't even fathom how they managed to make Mario so weak from Melee to Brawl.

[QUOTE=Hamsterjuice;45345999]it isn't a waste. a majority of players won't care if he 'sucks' or is 'low tier', they just want to play as their favourite nintendo characters.[/QUOTE] But I mean like, he's not remotely fun to play as and half of his moves are useless

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;45346173]But I mean like, he's not remotely fun to play as and half of his moves are useless[/QUOTE] Melee Mario was pretty rad. As was Project M Mario. I feel Mario might be a contender in Smash 4 with some moveset customization.

Brawl had that and it was great.

When are we getting a Canadian themed Falcon?

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;45308555]What is it with making Mario progressively worse through each iteration?[/QUOTE] yeah. I always main mario because I just love his moves. when I played this at oz comic con he felt so much weaker. like his attacks had less of an impact. i'm gonna be so sad if he's truly nerfed.

Hopefully some of the people who played the beta somehow got the word out that Mario is too weak and they're gonna buff him, that'd be nice (I was a big fan of the Doc in Melee and Brawl Mario was just 18 levels of wrong)

I liked how in project M they made characters who were usually lower down on the tier list (like zelda) actually viable in competetive play for a change, mario was fantastic in project m too and hopefully he ends up at least better than his brawl version this time around

i've found brawl and melee mario's to be excellent though. i mop the floor playing with him all the time. it will be gutting if those days end now

What, you [I]want[/I] Link to be consistently mediocre? Does Bowser not being a 2-ton punching bag scare you? It's so refreshing to play a character without worrying if they're going to be sub-par or not. Here's hoping Smash 4 has balance patches, at least.

the best part about mario for me is that he's insanely hard to throw off. he's light so he just doesn't fly as far as other characters when you hit him. and his jumps are so effective for getting back onto the arena. i'm notorious, playing as him, for just being insanely difficult to keep off the platform. not to mention his coin jump overrides pretty much every other attack no matter who hit first. in my experience, other characters can get knocked out of their attack jump or at least be stopped from doing it. mario can just fucking always do that jump and it always wrecks. i love him

It helps that Mario has a well rounded set of attacks and a near-instant neutral air. His throws are something worth doing as well.

[QUOTE=Kegan;45346976]It helps that Mario has a well rounded set of attacks and a near-instant neutral air. His throws are something worth doing as well.[/QUOTE] He just seemed really, really sluggish in the demo. I'm fully expecting it to change, but as it is, it doesn't look good.

it really interested me that marth was playable in the demos like off the bat. usually he's kept more at the back of things. but i guess that's changed since fire emblem is now a prominent title

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;45347210]He just seemed really, really sluggish in the demo. I'm fully expecting it to change, but as it is, it doesn't look good.[/QUOTE] why would it change? surely they've made up their minds about mario of all things

okay that american mario costume is fucking amazing.
