Downloaded all three due to someone else being interested in them as well.

 

Roy is really nice, he's the in-between Marth and Ike I've been wanting with a Swordsman. The return of Flare Blade is awesome as well since it's been gone since Melee and neither Marth nor Ike got a move like it with its range.

 

Lucas is about what you'd expect from Brawl. Only thing I've noticed that's different is his Up Smash being buffed perhaps a bit too much (possible nerf coming?).

 

Ryu, I don't know. He's interesting, but he's far too complicated to use. Why are the special combination moves on both Special Attack and Attack buttons? I've gone to do an aerial move and he does his recovery move instead which has had me lose multiple matches already. No documentation in-game for these moves either is annoying. Different strengths of tilts determined by how long you hold down A is kinda bad too. Too complex for me..

So surprisingly, I've found all 3 DLC characters really fun to use and I feel like I just added 3 mains to my personal roster, gosh dang it.  My only complaint is that the trailer for them could've been a lot cooler.  It should've been like... Ryu walking down the streets, and he passes by Roy, homeless in a box, with a small change dish that barely has any coins in it.  He turns back, and puts a bunch of his fight money into the dish, and says, "C'mon... I want to fight the one, the one that they call... 'Their boy.'"  Cue training montage/fight scene.  Someone go do this, now.  I demand it.

 

Anyway, moving on past my silliness:

 

Roy really is a combination of Marth and Ike, which I kind of expected Chrom to be had he gotten in instead of Robin/Lucina, and as it turns out, it works out really well!  I like having a similar speed to Marth in terms of movement, but also a lot of the same raw power that Ike seems to have.  It's really unusual for me to feel good about using him, since I was honestly pretty opposed to his inclusion in the first place.  But, I figured I'd just buy the whole bundle and try him out, and I'm glad I did.

 

Lucas was one of my favorite characters in Brawl, so I am definitely all the happier having him back, and the purple shirt with the Drago sprite on it is way too adorable!  As is the Boney shirt, and I cannot decide which one I love more!  He still feels just as good for the most part, though his up-smash feels like it takes a lot longer to execute than it did in Brawl, but the huge power it has is definitely also noticeable.  I've also noticed he's faster than Ness, likely due to him not having his family holding him back.

 

And then there's Goku Ryu.  Gosh freaking damn, he is a fun character to use.  Despite my limited time playing Street Fighter II as a kid/teen, I feel like I picked him up fairly naturally, and the quarter and semi circles weren't all that difficult to adjust to. (maybe from playing Skullgirls?) Either way, I was curious how well Ryu would be implemented into Smash, and they did a perfect job, in my book.  I've seen people complain about him being in because of how Street Fighter is treated now, but I feel like that shouldn't mar his legacy as the poster character for the granddaddy of the fighting genre.  That very reason is why he was so deserving of a spot in Smash.  Plus, I mean, they included his original SF2 theme, which basically means that yes, I pick his stage way more often than I should.

 

(Oh and the new Mii costumes are really cool too, Megaman.exe was a really nice inclusion, and while the Splatoon hair is honestly atrocious, the matching outfit is super cute on its own.)

Here's a small bit of new info. "Only." It's amusing wording.

 

Shovel Knight please.

Oh I don't. My only hope is that the Smash Ballot doesn't only give us one new character and that the rest aren't all just cut Melee/Brawl characters...

[Maleboocado]

I think this could be of interest of you, or at least a mere curiosity.

I recommend to follow this blog for transltions of Trollkurai's articles and documents.

[The Satellite]

That does seem pretty interesting, I'll take a look at that later. Meanwhile I realized my last post was worded horribly and made it sound like I only wanted one new character when that's not the case at all. Fixed that up a bit.

So now that Cloud is in Smash, what's the Alfonzo meme this time?

 

"When Cloud joins the battle, Alfonzo is in charge of looking after Aeris!"
"Just leave it to me— ... uh oh. Uh, bad news, pal."

Earlier I tried out some of the "Masterpieces" demo's again, and for some reason the physics of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2(J) and Super Metroid (and possibly other games) had something awful going on with the emulation. Mario 1&2 seemed to have very bad input lag and Mario was a lot more slippery and floaty. Super Metroid seemed playable, but there seemed to be some input lag (not as bad as Super Mario 1/2) and Samus seemed to jump a lot quicker than normal. This is probably nitpicking but the NES games in the "Masterpiece" section's colors looked.. bad. I know originally the games looked kinda like that, but the colors don't need to look like shite.

 

The Demo's don't make me want to get the respective games; They just make me want to play another game.

The Super Smash Bros. Broadcast will be happening on December 15th at 4PM Central Time.

[KEM64]

The Broadcast just ended, here's what happened:

http://gonintendo.co...-corrin-trailer

-Fire Emblem got a 6th character. Corrin, the player created character from Fire Emblem Fates, is in the game. Fights by utilizing his ability to turn into a dragon and more. Like Robin, there's also a female Corrin as an alt. Wii U version will get 2 Fire Emblem Fates songs for Coliseum. 3DS version gets 2 trophies based off of a couple of Fire Emblem Fates characters. Due out in February 2016.

-Cloud's fighting style got explained, Midgar has summon materia that allows you to summon summons like Ifrit, Odin, Ramuh, and Bahamut ZERO to name a few. They alter the Midgar stage and will get you points for any fighters KO'd by them. Cloud and Midgar will be available later today.

-Final Mii Costumes were shown. Along with the Chocobo Hat, there's Mii costumes based off characters like Geno (Super Mario RPG), Takumaru (Murasume Castle), Tails & Knuckles (Sonic Franchise), and others. They will also be available later today.

-And finally, we found out who won the Fighter Ballot. Being #1 in Europe, the Top 5 in the U.S., and #1 Worldwide, the other new character is....

http://gonintendo.co...yonetta-trailer

Somehow, Bayonetta got into Smash (and without raising the game's ESRB rating). She fights with moves like Witch Time (slows opponents down as a counter), the guns on the back of her feet, summoning a demon that punches and stomps opponents through a portal with her smashes, and a Final Smash that summons a demon to chomp at opponents (and instantly KO'ing anyone over 100%). She also comes with her own stage based off the falling clock tower from the beginning of the first game. Has alt costumes based off her appearances in Bayonetta 1 & 2. Wii U version has 2 trophies based off characters from her series. Also Due out February 2016.

-Roy, Ryu, and Famicom-colored R.O.B. Amiibos due out March 16, 2016. There will also be amiibos based of Cloud and the 2 new characters.

And that was it.

... Another freakin' Fire Emblem character? Jesus Christ, Sakurai has such a hard-on for that waifu sim game...

 

...Bayonetta seems pretty cool, though. Still have to play the games.

[The Satellite]

Am I a little disappointed? Sure. I mean, I was realistic, Shovel Knight's chances were not great, but I was just hoping. Not having Simon Belmont or another Castlevania rep is a more surprising exclusion, but at this rate I think Konami wouldn't have allowed it because they suck. Same reason we didn't see Snake return. And I mean, Shovel Knight could have been at least a Mii costume. And only one ballot winner? That's also disappointing.

 

But that said, I still greatly enjoyed the presentation. All three new characters look great to be honest, possibly broken as hell, though admittedly I'm tired of hazard stages. It's also really cool to see Geno reappear, even if as just a Mii costume. And as for Kamui (Corrin is a terrible name)? I actually wanted her for the next game. Getting her early's a treat. And yes, her. The male design is godawful.

 

Also Bayonetta looks cool.

 

So all in all, it was awesome. I'm seeing a lot of negativity around the internet though, which is disappointing. Honestly, everyone should have gone into it expecting disappointment; not everyone's ballot pick was gonna win, after all. I can agree to some extent that it would've been nice to have a little more, but I'm mostly satisfied. I'm not predicting the doom of Smash or anything.

[thepsynergist]

I saw people really disappointed Goku didn't get in.  Were people seriously voting for him?

 

I was kinda hoping for Banjo + Kazooie Ice Climber's style, but Bayonetta threw me for a loop.  Also, new main, I mean, Jesus, the fact that you can up B twice after a mid-jump is just crazy.

[Yloh]

... I regular watch this guys stuff. I find his theory about Bayonetta possibly being a character in Smash very interesting. She would make a very interesting character, however, she is a very adult themed character and she really doesn't feel all that Nintendo at all. What are your thoughts?
