Alternative costume thoughts (potential spoilers?)

Oh hey, Fierce Diety Link costume. Awesome.

I don't want to look at these because I don't want to get spoiled. I want to wait until the game comes out which is next month. I'm so excited!

Oh right, you've reminded me to use hidden tags to avoid spoiling content.

People have gotten a hold of the Japanese Smash 3DS demo and have been playing and streaming it, Smooth McGroove included, and he's streaming it now if anyone's interested: http://www.twitch.tv/smoothmcgroove

Sweet, I have a Japanese 3DS, so... If anyone wants to know something specific about the demo, just ask me. (Still downloading now)

 

Edit: Oh man, I need to get used to shield and grab being switched around.

The controls. I actually would just like to know what the controls are like

The controls are nice, although L is now grab and R is shield. But when the game comes out you can change their function.

I have some trouble using neutral B moves right after moving left or right, requires some getting used to.

 

And villager is hilarious to play as. His ability to store projectiles and items is really useful. One time I stored one of those pixelated flag things (that give you one extra point after holding it up for 4-5 seconds) and brought it out after picking up an invincibility star. That was so cheap of me

[The Satellite]

Shield and grab are switched? Ew... good thing you can customize them, but why would they change that? O_o

[ZeldaPlayer]

I am just gotta stick of waiting for the USA version to come, which is in October.

[Haylee]

Eh, I don't really mind that switch, I've always preferred blocking with R, anyways.

Some people on twitch from Taiwan are streaming the final game.

Looks fun! There's now a master body. Yeah...

Also shield stun seems to be way too low. No move so far is safe on shield

Alph from Pikmin 3 is apparently his own character now, which is probably the stupidest clone I've ever seen.  He doesn't even have a page on the official website, but Sakurai showed that he wasn't a different skin of Olimar.

[Moonbread]

I think his name just changes when you costume switch to him on Olimar.  They did the same thing for another uh, secret character.

[Aevin]

Welp, the final roster is in.

Obvious Spoilers

Lucas, Wolf, Ice Climbers and Snake are cut. That leaked character select seems to be 100% accurate, so there's a few more newcomers, but no Mewtwo or Ridley, for those hoping. Personally, I'm just mourning the Lucas cut. With characters like Lucina and Dark Pit in, it just seems so unnecessary to cut the likes of Lucas and Wolf.

[The Satellite]

At first I was going to be kind of annoyed, then after learning he was just a variation I was relieved. Nothing against Pikmin but I don't think it's popular enough to warrant another clone character.

 

Also, careful with the spoilers, guys. I want to refer you back to this announcement, just pretend it's talking about Smash instead of Hyrule Warriors and adjust the dates accordingly.

 

Now, regarding roster spoilers, which I don't particularly mind myself and will read...

Dark Pittsburgh confirmed.

 

I actually am a bit surprised that Dark Pit is in, instead of just being a costume for Pit. As for the cut fighters... Good freaking riddance, Wolf, you were useless and we really didn't need three characters with basically the same moveset, even if they did have their own alterations. As for Snake, don't care, I never felt he fit in to begin with, and Ice Climbers... that's surprising, since they'd been in Melee and Brawl, and we have Rosalina and Luma as co-op players like them, so their cut is still a little confusing, though I still won't miss them as I didn't really care for them either. And Lucas, well, I'll leave that to you Mother fans.

 

Mewtwo I'm still saddened about, especially after the blatant trolling of Mewtwo fans leading up to this game. Ridley, still don't care, it'd be cool if he made it but I personally don't need him so it doesn't bother me. Also don't you be smack-talkin' my Lucina.

 

er I mean um

 

Guess I'm not too disappointed with the roster though, we still have a ton of good going for it.
