All I wonder is how Nintendo is going to top the Brawl announcement trailer?
Those are some hella big boots to fill!
Super Smash Bros

they haven't even said they will be showing of a trailer. People are just hoping. all we know is it's gonna be there but all that means is it may just be the logo and talking although i imagine they would at least have screens.
Not to rain on everyone's parade of course.

After the amazing Nintendo Direct that showed X, Yarn Yoshi, etc, Sakurai posted a tweet explaining he would try to have a trailer ready that would top the Nintendo Direct showing. There will be a trailer. This is flashy Sakurai we're talking, the reveal of Smash is certain to go with a full blown trailer.
-
I'm excited for it either way

Don't get me wrong i really believe there will be. I'm just preparing myself in case. Either way any of information will be great information. Here's hoping takamaru or little mac

Have faith my friend. The sooner you have unquestionable certainty of an E3 trailer being shown the sooner your spirit will be free.

Takamaru and Little Mac would be amazing, but I'm still hoping to see Ridley. I don't recall seeing RomanceDawn with a different avatar.
Also, I expect mention of a third party character. If they want people to collectively wail in admiration, it should be Megaman. Sure, everyone's expecting it, but it needs to become real.
Alternatively, I also have the secret dream of Nintendo gaining some exclusivity to Crash/Spyro from activision (skylanders being huge and all, and crash supposedly receiving a revival soon), if anything to see all the Sony people that wanted them in All-Stars go nuts. -
The most likely third party is Pacman: major videogame icon, Namco works on this smash, new Pacman games are on the way to WiiU and 3DS (among others) and Pacman has already been in the MArio Kart Arcade games.
And yes, Megaman would be amazing. -
I imagine if it's Namco it'll be one of the ones they have access too. Could see Bayonetta getting in tho. Sakurai should hold Snake hostage and force Konami to get something Metal Gear on the Wii U else no more free advertising.
-
^ It's not like Kojima needs Sakurai to promote any Metal Gear material.
-
I want Shulk from Xenoblade and Isaac or Matthew from Golden Sun personally
-
^ It's not like Kojima needs Sakurai to promote any Metal Gear material.
I don't think he was put into Brawl to promote anything to begin with - according to this interview, he did it because he plays Smash Bros. with his kid, and his kid wanted to see one of his dad's characters in the game (as well as making the Metal Gear series visible to a wider audience, which seems to have worked, if the release of Metal Gear Solid 3 on the 3DS is any indication). Sure, Metal Gear Solid 4 was coming out at the time of Brawl's release, but if he wanted to promote that, he would have put in Old Snake, or included more references to that game than just a pair of Gekkos in the Shadow Moses stage.

If he was included I'd love to see him as classic arcade pacman, just a pixelated pizza. His final smash could be a powerpill which turns all the opponents blue, traps them in the pacman maze and lets him OHKO when he touches them
-
I just found that a new Pac-Man series is coming out….so yeah . Also if SFXTekken and this new Pac-Man series are any indication his design will be based off that.

I put it up stating it won't come down until Ridley is announced playable. Hahaha, like I'll affect anything. Every avatar on every forum I am apart of is of Ridley, I want him playable so bad. I just hope to high heaven he is seen this E3. He seems like one of the those characters Sakurai would like to show to really build hype. I don't know if I can wait until the games release, I want Jinbe's mug slapped in all my avatars.
He's a big character in his canon but Smash throws those things out the window and its the worst excuse for him ever. I feel like with Sakurai really thinking hard about Metroid characters last time and only coming up with ZSS he may be thinking twice about Ridley after that one seemingly insignificant Nintendo Power interview in 08.
-
i wonder how much rage will appear if ridley isn't playable but adam is
-
Probably not much.
-

After the age of 15 I stopped raging over video game announcements and comic story progression. But if any Metroid character gets in over Ridley, like Adam, Anthony, or worse unevolved Ridley I will throw a fit of epic proportions!The rest of the internet would follow suit. With Ridley being one of the most requested characters from a cast that is mostly used up, I'm betting the smash community would rage for a long time. There are just so few All Stars left I think his chances are good this time.
-
i guess. Originally i wasn't a ridley fan and actually had adam in my hopeful roster. Ridley ahs since managed to squeze his way in. on a similar note how many characters do people expect in this game. i hope for 50 give or take a few and already know who i think will be removed
-
I just want.
All the characters from previous games, + 20 more.
Good game.
-
^ Not if there's no competitive balance.
-
Nostalgia trip! The crowd reaction to the Super Smash Brothers Melee intro at E3 2001!
Still one of the best intros.
-
the melee intro was banging.
I expect this time round we will have at least falco, lucario, toon link and then possiblly lucas, sonic, snake removed from the game. The latter 3 maybe having replacements -
God, watching that is so moving and satisfying. I imagine having a similar reaction to whatever trailer they launch for the next one, but it's such a shame we will never again have such reactions from a crowd of fans.
Also, I love how crazy they went over the scene of Samus fighting Ridley. Haha … they got trolled.
edit: damn, seeing this and then the opening of 2011 with the Zelda orchestra ... shit, only Nintendo can play with your emotions like that. Fantastic conferences.

I'm expecting about 50 myself. Brawl had an amazing amount of newcomers with 13 or 14 brand new move sets. With the roster so big already I expect 10 to 12 new characters totaling it in around 50.
-
Yeah I can see them adding about 10-12 new chars in. Possibly removing a small number for others. I'd imagine Chrom would get in and possibly replace Ike. Alt costume/Voice for Marth so we can have new 'Marth' would be nice tho.
-
The bit in the Melee intro with Sheik playing the harp leading to Kirby flying through the sky always makes me misty eyed.

Wondering if we'll have the mask or not, cause I kind of want to real deal, but I know that could be a spoiler for people playing Smash that haven't played Awakening yet.
I don't know if Chrom could replace Ike, though. We'll have to wait and see.
June 11th! Get hype!
-
By the time Smash launches Fire Emblem will likely have been out for over a year most places. And to be fair we did get spoilers for other games too via Trophies and such.
To be fair New Marth has action figures and such coming out too. So it wouldn't be a stretch for that part to be spoiled at all.
For Ike…..Roy was there because he was the newest FE Lord, Ike was the newest Lord at that time. So Chrom is the newest lord now. And with that reasoning I would be fine.
-
shrug
I won't mind hearing Matthew Mercer's deep sexy voice in a Smash Bros. game.
-
i still don't know about chrom replacing ike however i wouldn't mind new marth replacing the current one
-
Or just put
! Lucina in the game outright as this game needs more female characters anyway
-

! she'd be a marth clone which obviously people won't like. a good female fire emblem character would be micahia being a mage and all
-
Donnel will replace Marth.
-
@Cyan:
Donnel will replace Marth.
Not likely Marth will still be in and will probably be redone as the Fire Emblem Awakening version of Marth

Are you assuming that no one will be cut?
-
Are you assuming that no one will be cut?
Yup. With Melee's newcomers many of them were last minute additions to pad the roster. By the time Brawl came around they were able to cut the fluff and finish off the bulk of Nintendo's all stars. As Nintendo's representatives go Brawl is pretty complete and aside from Toon Link everyone including semi clones are all pretty unique.
I don't look at characters as being replaced either. Toon Link is essentially young Link and Mewtwo just got lost due guys like Sonic making it in so late in the game. There are no Dr Mario's or Pichu's anymore, so I think it is very safe to say just about everyone will be returning from Brawl.
Still Dr Mario was planned as well but I could see why he would be put on the back burner in favor of the rest of the cast.
The semi clones obviously seem like the first that would get the boot but like I said they've gotten more unique with attacks and animations plus each of those characters are very important to their respective series. I don't think anyone in Brawl has that expendable status like Pichu or Dr Mario.
I also predict Ganondorf will not have a completely unique move set.
-
@Cyan:
Donnel will replace Marth.
OH god not even with gandorof movepool i wanted to face him.
-
! she'd be a marth clone which obviously people won't like. a good female fire emblem character would be micahia being a mage and all
When has a character being a clone ever stopped them from being in a smash bros game?
Plus they could easily change/tweak movesets to differentiate from Marth or Chrom. -
Ah, those reactions to Samus being onscreen were the best…
-
Newest 4chan rumor, take it with a grain of salt until E3 people.
-
lol Tharja? Not that there's any doubt that it's fake, but that detail pretty much cements it. Nothing to see here, just a fan's wet dreams.
-
Well Tharja is insanely popular by fans, but very strange choice since like a insanely minor character in the game.
Though be nice to have a sorc in smash. Best we have is Zelda as of now.
Is there a better sorcerer character from a game we could use instead?

Within the Fire Emblem universe, they could have gone with Micaiah from Radiant Dawn or Lyon from Sacred Stones.
Actually, better than Tharja would be an antagonist character, there's plenty of dark sorcerer bad guys in each Fire Emblem iteration, I'm sure it'd be easy.
If the rumor is true, I suppose I wouldn't mind, although I would question the choice of Tharja over more iconic characters in the series.
-
Tharja eh?
I just hope she's not a Zelda clone.
Personally though I would prefer that Sakurai dig deep into the Nintendo vaults for more obscure characters Like G&W and Ice Climbers. -
Tharja would be nice….but seems a bit random. Sure she's popular but this is a Smash Bros game. Not a One Piece one.
Palutena would be a welcome addition however. And would make sense considering Sakurai worked on Kid Icarus Uprising too
-
either palutena or medusa is obvious for me. With how much hype the game is getting i don't think a cg trailer that shows all these characters is likely. It will probably be similar to brawl and they'll pace the character announcements to keep the hype train going
-
It's a rumor guys, but remember these Smash Intros don't always tell the truth, remember Melee when it had Goroh and Ridley? For all we know, if this intro does use Tharja it may just be one of those cases.
-
Tharja's final smash could be a giant sexy ass that comes down and hits everyone.
In the US version it'll be a censor bar.
-
Why would tharja be in the intro but not in the game? That makes even less sense …
Also, I do expect around 4 or 5 character reveals:
Melee had peach, bowser, sheik and ice climbers revealed.
Brawl had meta knight, pit, zero suit samus, wario and snake.So in that sense, their structure makes sense. Either because it's Nintendo following the pattern, or a fan using that pattern to seem more legit.
Also, more than Medusa I would hope to see Hades, either as a character or a boss. That character is awesome, and meant for greater things.
