Here's to betting that A Link Between Worlds Link will be used for the secondary Link.

 

In the new artwork, they made Link more cartoony, to fit his voice better. I think both pieces look amazing, but this one fits so much better for Super Smash Bros.

 

What do you guys think?

I like the other Link more on a standalone basis, but you might be on to something with the new style working better for Smash Bros. Honestly, I don't mind which direction Nintendo takes here. Link still looks good. Hopefully he'll play well, too.

This looks pretty effin' sweet. A few things I'm happy are the appearance on two consoles, Megaman, and what looks like a ton of new stages, and revised movesets. I wouldn't be surprised if a few characters were cut from the Brawl roster to make room for these new faces, but it is still looking awesome. I do not own a Wii U, but I will most definitely be getting this on my 3DS. I will probably get a Wii U around the end of the year, so I may get that too.

 

I wonder if there may even be platform-specific characters (prolly not), and I also wonder if the two versions will be able to play with each other either locally or over the net? That's be cool cause then you'd be able to play the 3DS stages on a TV, and vice versa.

That's a no on both counts. They've already said there won't be platform specific characters., but the stages vary between the two versions. They've said something cryptic about being able to customize characters somehow on DS (but it's not costumes, or movesets, or anything that seems reasonable to guess), and transfer them to the Wii U, but there won't be the ability to battle between the two versions.

Hm, that still sounds interesting. Can't say I'm surprised though.

 

In regards the the article two pages back, I have to say I'm pretty okay with them removing the cinematics. It's not like the really divulge any amazing story about why the characters are doing what they are doing; it instead shows them facing off, which is not really needed. An introductory (and presumably an ending) cutscene are fine by me. I suspect that they will give each character there own 'story', read as, "random battles against other characters till the end", with some occasional character specific bosses (seeing as they show megaman squaring off with the yellow devil.)

 

I wish they would do something like the Event mode from Melee. That was pretty fun, and interesting, and gave you 51 unique challenges.

 

 

EDIT: And can we get a Bowser's Castle Stage please..?

[The Satellite]

Yay Luigi. Like that was a surprising addition.

 

I'm still more curious in seeing what kind of new characters get thrown into the mix, if any. Or if Sonic returns.

[Moonbread]

Luigi's in the game?  I guess it's safe to say that the next Grand Theft Auto game will have cars.

 

Slowly revealing characters that we know are already confirmed for the game is like what they did to the Virtual Console service from the Wii to the Wii U.

 

Anywho, I really don't care much for that artwork of Link.  I would really like if they ditched the Hylian Shield.  Also, just don't like the fact that he looks 8 years old.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!! And while we're at it, let's ditch the WW Hero's Shield!

Yes me too. But I rather not want to see any new characters before I actually unlock them in the game, else it'd be spoilered.

The character customizer will probably be just changing skins, clothes or hats and the like.

[Shane]

Mario confirmed to be in new Super Smash Bros.

 

But seriously, I know for certain a lot of characters will return.

[Moon]

At this point, I think it's pretty safe to assume that if a character has been in 2-3 Smash games, then they aren't likely to be cut.

 

Of course, they did mention trouble with the Ice Climbers, so I might not want to say anything.

What kind of 8-year-olds are you hanging around with?

[Shane]

Well regarding the ALBW Link possibly appearing, you might be onto something, Jared. Considering it kinda became tradition to have an alternative, more younger Link who is a lot faster, quicker and lighter for combat and preference reasons, I can see it being possible.

The prettiest ones, naturally.

That is creepy. Really creepy actually....
