I love you all to death (Just so I can smash bros with you) (SSBWiiU/3DS)

I think that's just his new Aerial A Forward attack just really close to the ground. Like as soon as he jumped the player pressed A Forward. As you noted it looks like he's jumping to use that attack. Or it could be his new Forward Smash Attack being used without a charge.

I'm not too sure, his short hop would have to be ridiculously short for that to be the case. I could see it being an uncharged smash, but then I'd be disappointed if they got rid of his superpowered headbut.

Sakurai is awesome.

I hope Mewtwo is back, because he rules and his movie rules too.

Hnngnggggghhghghghghgngnhghgggnnhghghghnhghgggnhgngghgnggnnnhnhhhh.


I just hope the original design is heavily incorporated, and that the new one is to an equal or lesser extent rather than greater. I love the classic design.

You and me both. I REALLY hope they roll with the alt. costumes idea, because I really wouldn't like being stuck with Tail-in-Head over there.

[Kriven]

I can't imagine Butthead-Mewtwo having the same basic attacks as original Mewtwo. He relied heavily on his tail, and changing the placement of it would alter the hitboxes significantly.

I hope the new form is his FS and he's just powered up like Wario Man.

“I can answer that: no. We don’t have the time to fully recreate every single character who’s been in Smash Bros at this point. Adding new characters is not a simple addition – it’s really multiplication. The amount of work, adding a character is multiplied and becomes bigger and bigger as you go. We can’t because of the amount of work it takes. However, I do believe I understand that each character has its own set of fans out there who really like that character. So we’re not going to cut characters out of the way, we’re going to put in as many characters as we can, we really want to do that, because it’s good for the fans and good for all of us. But in the event that we do have to cut some characters, I’d like to apologise in advance to those fans.”

“Well first of all, we talk with the Pokemon company. What’s the hot Pokemon? What Pokemon are in the movies right now? And really do a lot of research on that front. For example, X and Y are coming out – of course, we haven’t done any market research because they’re not out yet, but we look at the animated series or movies and anything like that and again, find out which ones are going to be central to any of conversations in Pokemon going forward. But it’s not just that – going back to just what we talked about, what’s unique about them? Where do they fit in with the rest of everything else? What do they have? It’s a combination of those things.”

I'm now taking bets for Mewtwo.

[Kriven]

Why don't they just make a roster as they see it and then release the cut veterans as free DLC later on? They could utilize the little bar code things they used for the Mario Tennis Open DLC characters.

[Helmo]

I actually don't want any third party characters

defeats the point imo

I just want Nintendo characters only, ones who are actually important or significant

The problem with that though is Sakurai doesn't have any plans for DLC yet. And with the way he put it, it really doesn't sound like he's going to go through with it.

I'd be really happy if mewtwo came back, although I'd love to see him get a bit buffed speed wise.

Also not entirely related but:

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/34700

We had too many Pokemon on the roster already in Brawl between Pikachu, Pichu, Lucario, and the frickin' Pokemon Trainer....

Or, you know, remove Pichu, Lucario or Pokemon Trainer...

I'd go with Pikachu, Mewtew and Pokemon Trainer over Pichu and Lucario any day...

Pichu

I'm sorry for sort of derailing this to the comments section in here but why these people assume that Pichu was in Brawl is beyond me.

Although if there was character DLC, I wouldn't mind seeing Pichu return as long as he doesn't zap himself with the weaker electric attacks.

I'm just saying, but yeah. I couldn't get over this part of the siteTonberry posted.

Edit: Ninja'd

No, I get that. My question is "Why not?" :p

Why aren't they planning any kind of DLC? Why would they risk displeasing fans instead of considering releasing veterans who won't be finished on the original game to show up later as DLC?

[Ploaj]

Sakurai wants a complete game, then he'll worry about DLC.
Planned DLC is dumb imo. DLC should be an afterthought.
Heck, why don't they just release the game now and add all the characters, modes, stages, and everything else via DLC
When the game's near finished, then they should add the ability to have DLC so if they do decide to add anything in the future.

[TomGuycott]

I think given what how Sakurai has acted during various interviews and his mindset in general, he wouldn't want DLC PERIOD, because in a way it might symbolize the game was incomplete. However, given Nintendo's recent dabblings in dlc, the two that come to my mind being Super Luigi and the Fire Emblem dlc, they have done a pretty nice job, and I could see them doing a good job with Smash if given a chance to do it.

[Kriven]

I was thinking more like contingency DLC.

"Just in case we can't do it now, we will have a plan to do it for later."

[senjen]

Sakurai the creator of smash bros still has alot of pain in his right arm/hand read it here

http://mynintendonews.com/2013/06/21/sak...t-of-pain/

this could possibly be a reason why he is reducing the roster as well,

as he wants to get it done to please the fans

Poor guy hope he gets better soon
