Well

Never Doubt Nintendo. Ever……

Here is also a reveal Trailer

Apparently, post-release character DLC is happening. This is coming from the source that correctly predicted most of the newcomers thus far.

>Pac-Man confirmed
>character DLC

Dudes, this is a milestone in Gaming. Th four most succesfull and beloved characters of gaming in ONE GAME!!

So there is character DLC?

>EA announces DLC prior to a game's release.
>Gamers go mad and everyone has their jimmies rustled.
>Nintendo announces DLC prior to a game's release.
>Gamers bless the heavens and cream their pants.

I understand company bias, but this is reaching new levels of fanboy.

The thing is, they might not know exactly what they're going to add. They might just know they'll want to add characters in the future when they get ideas like how Nintendo thinks DLC should be used. Or they could just be greedy as hell just like EA. Who can really tell? This all-around positive reaction is quite ironic and rather unwarranted as of now, but I can still understand why people would be happy about this for logical reasons instead of just bias.

Also, this is where the BGM is coming from:

It's because Nintendo has consistently been releasing full games that don't actually need the DLC in order to play, win, and have fun with it, and either match or bypass content amount of the previous games.

Fire Emblem Awakening: 43 stages On Disk, 6 More for Free (49 total). 24 DLC Stages that have nothing to do with the main story. (Also note most of the items and characters from the DLC can be obtained via Spot Pass)
Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn: 42 stages On Disk

So Awakening bypassed the content amount of it's previous game, and it's DLC was non-intrusive to the main game.

New Super Mario Bros U: 82 stages, the New Super Luigi U stages Doubleing the Game Size (82)
New Super Mario Bros Wii: 77 stages if I didn't miscount.

Once again we are given a game with MORE content than it's predecessor, and the DLC that is non-intrusive to the main story or the ability to win.

I'm not going to go over all the examples, but the basic pattern here is that Nintendo hasn't released a game who's content has been cut down to make room for DLC. And many people now trust Nintendo that the games they will be releasing will be full games, and the DLC will merely be bonus content.

Rhythm Heaven character appears as an enemy in Smash Run. It's called the ghost.

If the Chorus Kids are ever announced, then the leak is 100% real.

Updated my prediction list. Axed anything that wasn't Nintendo from it.

If Smash Run enemies are indicative of who's appearing/returning, the Polar Bear's appearance (see SmashWiki) confirms that our favorite frosty duo, the Ice Climbers, are making a comeback. Almost every confirmed character has at least one enemy to represent their franchise, with the only exceptions being characters from the Fire Emblem, Punch-Out, Wii Fit, and Star Fox franchises. This is all based on what we know from the demo, but the cast of 53 unique enemies is still likely to grow.

Anyway, here are some characters that I want to see as playable contestants in SSB4 DLC or in SSB5 (in no particular order):

Waluigi (Super Mario Brothers).

Captain Syrup (Wario Land).

Kamek (Yoshi's Island).

Skull Kid (The Legend Of Zelda).

Mach Rider (Mach Rider).

King K. Rool (Donkey Kong).

Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes).

Bayonetta (Bayonetta).

John Raimi (Geist).

Black Shadow (F-Zero).

Flint (Earthbound/MOTHER).

Simon Belmont (Castlevania).

Chibi-Robo (Chibi-Robo).

Ridley (Metroid).

Banjo And Kazooie (Banjo-Kazooie).

Isaac (Golden Sun).

Stafy/Starfy (The Legend Of Stafy/Starfy).

Any grass-type Starter Pokemon, preferentially fully evolved (Pokemon).

Any character from Eternal Darkness.

Any character from Custom Robo.

Well, here's a gif of the sneaky spirit in Smash Run.

Here's also a video of the spirit in Rhythm Heaven.

I'm still baffled if Ice Climbers do return since Rosalina's Move set is heavily based on their own.
I still think they might become secret unlockable instead of being announced maybe with a new moveset

Not really, Rosalina is more of a puppet character like Carl from Blazblue or Miss Fortune from Skull Girls as in you have a secondary semi-controllable character that you are able to place where you want and combo off of. The Ice Climbers don't really work in that fashion as Nana sticks to Popo like glue and unlike proper puppet characters you can't, for example, throw Nana at the enemy or get her to stay put. Separating them (while occasionally useful) takes some doing and can be detrimental as most of the Climber's abilities (most importantly up-special) are built off of having the two together, whereas the Princess and Luma seem to work best separated.

Did anyone watch the full Smash Bros. Invitational Tournament? This was definitely the highlight of it:

KDJ (playing Rosalina) running towards Megaman's final smash, just so the crowd could go wild. What a bro.

If SSB4's getting DLC, then it better be free.

Sauce

So, seeing as how now Mr. Game&Watch is a likely return, I think it's time we start asking ourselves the questions that matter, the questions that will define Smash for the next generation:
How will the announcer yell his name on the character selection screen?
Will it be said in four words, like Melee, (MR! GAME! AND! WATCH!) one word, like Brawl, (Mrgameandwatch!) or perhaps something entirely new…
First name: Mister. Middle name: Game&. Last name: Watch!

Today, I went to Best Buy for the national demo of Super Smash Bros. Since everyone was only allowed to play one 4-player match, I picked Zero Suit Samus. Since I was not familiar with the Wii U controller, I sucked, but hey, it was fun.

So… What did you guys think of the character suggestions I had? I tried to avoid favoring any specific franchise.

I went and picked ZSS too. The controls threw me off as well, and I ended up in a tie for 3rd, but I did get a Smash Ball, and my brother won as Greninja, who apparently was winning all the fights. I especially like how the results screen music is the music from the N64 version's character select screen, if only because it shows that they care about their past.

Thanks to Miis, you can now play as the mighty ogrelord in Super Smash Bros.

I know my new main……

Time to use the stage maker to make the swamp.

"There has been internal debate about keeping Lucas versus Ness, apparently Lucas is likely to get the cut."

Here's the victory poses shown during the E3 Smash Demo. Shiek's not part of the video. Interesting thing to note is that Bowser was given a remix of the Mario Bros theme and Rosalina was given her own based on the Galaxy series.

Also, here are the newcomer taunts.

I can't wait to unlock Mega Man and Pac-Man once the games first comes out on the 3DS. Because Mega-Man,Pac-Man and Kirby will be one of the main characters I can use to beat other players on Online mode.

Costumes seem to be a fairly big addition in this game, judging by Little Mac's pink sweatshirt being in the game – I wonder if a Doctor Mario outfit will show up?

So far we have Male Wii Fit Trainer, Sweatshirt Mac, and the Villager Alts. So…

And they hinted at a Voice Pack for Pit to switch out to Dark Pit.

So beyond that… Link could Easily have his other Tunics from Twilight Princess. Then Mario could be Dr Mario. And maybe even have Luigi as Mr. L.

However… I am a tiny bit afraid that a few former clone characters will return to the game as skins to other characters. Lucas as a costume for Ness, Mewtwo as a costume for Lucario. Falco over Fox. Etc.

I guess we will just have to wait and see.

You should be more afraid of Ms. Pacman becoming an alt skin for Pacman.

HOLD ON, now I KNOW the leaker is completely full of shit. Why? Because of this amazing contradiction that just popped up. Let me present to you all the following.

Notice: ALL the characters where planned and nailed BEFORE they started development. So, how could internal debate be happening about character inclusion… ALMOST TWO YEARS INTO THE GAMES PRODUCTION!?!

Objection

Objection!

Order! Order!

Objection!

Is anyone making Miis for Smash? If you are share your creations and post QR codes if have them.
I'll begin with the one who shall not be named.

I 'gasmed when I saw megaman's victory pose.

I know this is fake but it's still awesome:

That's definitely fake. It's from p4rgaming. They're the Onion of gaming news.

According to Twitter, LeBron James is causing serious stress and possibly heart attacks.

Also according to Twitter, a new challenger is to be announced for Smash Bros. on Monday, 10am US Eastern.

I'm surprised that there are so many , because it sounded like they were aiming for fewer challengers in order to focus on balance. But I'm not complaining, because it just means one more chance for Lucina.

My money is on Shulk from Xenoblade. Not only was he part of the leak which has, so far, proven true.

Also, Monolith Soft tweeted about the reveal also, which may give us a clue.

Let's also not forget that Next Level games, devs of Punch Out on Wii, tweeted about the direct Little Mac was revealed in.

They should've announced it during EVO. That's a total miss for advertising. But it seems like it's just one new challenger, potentially means an another actual newcomer to the series.

I'm not complaining about roster size either, because I really hope the Smash Bros originals (Captain Falcon, Ness, Jigglypuff) get announced soon, as well as the popular clones like Falco.

Yeah, all evidence points to Shulk for this one. Sigh, I'll just have to wait even longer to see Chrom

I'm waiting for Shulk to be revealed so I can see Chuggaconroy have a fangazam in the next Xenoblade Chronicles LP Episode, ahaha.

But yeah, Xenoblade was the first Monolithsoft RPG for Nintendo after Nintendo bought them, and with it's critical acclaim Shulk makes the most sense.

Actually, there was a DS RPG called Soma Bringer that never made it out of Japan. It came out in 2008, while Xenoblade came out in 2010. Granted, it was nowhere near as well received as Xenoblade, so Shulk still makes the most sense.
