Personally these are the characters that I would cut:

Lucario
Toon Link
Snake
Ike
Pokemon Trainer (Only to be replaced by a new PT)

​
You guys should definitely do a Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament.

I can see it now. Online matches (With Anyone mode) is going to be flooded with Mewtwo AF & MegaMan.

I was hype when I heard about this though! I'd really like to him in the game, although he'll be too mainstream to be one of my main characters.

The way they did it last time was, there were 3 tournaments in 3 different places. Los Angeles, San Francisco & Boston, all 256 entrants. The player who won the tourney at each place got a BUNCH of prizes & then a ticket to participate in the finals in NY. Waiting on line was long but funny & the tournament of course had a lot of people. REALLY hope they do it again so that I can join!

For all the Facebook users who enjoy Smash updates, giveaways & tournaments: http://www.facebook.com/SSBWIIU3DS

I REALLY hope Nintendo does a release tournament for SSBU like they did for SSBB. I couldn't join because I was too young but my friend got top 32 out of 256 entrants with Samus.

magiciandude, on 11 Jun 2013 - 1:53 PM, said:Hey we finally agree on something! I gotta admit, I'm surprised they didn't a Namco character as the first 3rd party character to be shown. I guess they haven't decided yet?

The trailer was amazing, so glad we got classic MegaMan!

magiciandude, on 10 Jun 2013 - 6:38 PM, said:Wow, that music was meh at best. I figured that's the only thing they could for trophies and AT. Like I said in an above post, the Tales universe has a lot to more offer. That basically confirms my thoughts about the Pac-Man universe having just about nothing interesting. The iconic argument is garbage when relevancy is brought up. What's the last Pac-Man game released that wasn't a remake of the original arcade or sports spinoff? Pac-Man World 3? Which I heard wasn't even that great. Before you bring up the upcoming Pac-Man, it's only based on the upcoming cartoon and anything non-video game related is off-limits in SSB.
You know why the Tales universe should be in over Pac-Man? Because the Tales series definitely needs a boost in recognition in the West moreso than Pac-Man. Marth and Roy in SSBM are the best examples, it's what brought Fire Emblem to the US. That sort of promotion could help Tales being released in the US more often. Plus since Tales games play almost like SSB, it would be an easy transition over SSB4. Another thing to note: one of the Tales developers said they wanted a Tales character to appear in SSB4 and one of the Tales directors is producing the game, so I'd say it has a good shot. Source. If you're familiar with how Snake got in SSBB, then it shows that a Tales character does have a chance. 
Now these are what you call battle tunes:


You've made it clear yourself that Tales needs a boost, it's not that relevant right now. Sakurai isn't just looking for sorry games that need help bro lol. The tales creator doesn't even plan on bringing any tales games to Wii U right now either, I doubt he has interest in bringing it to Smash. Lol @ the pac-man relevancy thing though AS IF Pac-Man needs to make himself more relevant than what he already is. He's a gaming icon, a legend if you will. Tales will NEVER catch up to his status, & I'm just speaking truth here. With that said, we are both just speculating. In the end I could honestly care less which one of em makes it in, I'm only interested in playing & scrapping people online & at tournaments once it comes out.

I prefer Karma btw.

magiciandude, on 09 Jun 2013 - 7:54 PM, said:That's not my point. What I mean is, what does the Pac-Man universe have to offer in terms trophies, Assist Trophy, and most importantly the music? Obviously the stage will be from the original arcade, but after how terrible the arcade stages were in Brawl, I do not want to see another one. The reason I want Lloyd isn't just because of him, but because of what the Tales universe can offer in terms of Trophies, AT, and the music. The Tales series has some kick ass battle themes that would be great for SSB4. 


Trophies: Pac Man Ghost, Ms.Pac-Man, Pac Man Jr,
Assist Trophy: Pac Man Ghost could move around the stage dealing dmg to whoever runs into them.
Music:



Lloyd is cool & all, but I believe if Namco is going to put a character of theirs into the game, they'd go with someone more iconic, or atleast someone from a series they plan to make games on the Wii U for.

Coreykun667, on 07 Jun 2013 - 4:51 PM, said:Also, to add to my post, for alternate costumes, we could have the Door to Phantomile Klonoa Lunatea's Veil Klonoa
And the remake Klonoa 

I wouldn't mind Klonoa for a Namco rep, he seems pretty cool. SSBU would no doubt make his popularity skyrocket if Namco was interested in having that happen.

Mario Kart would make so much more sense. If people are only going to play about 6 minutes of demo, having a game that allows 4 people at a time to play would be much better.

R00bot, on 09 Jun 2013 - 08:52 AM, said:A fine tribute to one of my favourite games ever. I actually started to tear up while watching the second one. Can't believe Brawl has been 5 years since it came out, and the next Smash is about to be shown at E3. This game had so much character, I hope they can manage to fit all of that character into the new game as well, and it doesn't turn into one of those other brawling games with no charm. I put over 500 hours into Brawl. Still don't regret it. Oh well, I guess the next Smash Bros. will be just as awesome.RIP Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Rest in peace.

Well said! I've put in many hours into SSBB too from casual matches, to practicing to tournaments, it had a great run & I really loved it! However, I'm ready to move on to the next!

magiciandude, on 09 Jun 2013 - 05:36 AM, said:I'm sorry, but I just cannot bring myself to support Pac-Man. Aside from the fact that I want Lloyd from ToS way more than Pac-Man, the Pac-Man universe just doesn't have much to offer in terms of content. 

Just think of him as one of those characters you never thought you'd like but once you use him you'll have a lot of fun. If you've played all 3 Pac-Man World games you'd know what I'm talking about. I always say this because MOST of the time people talk about how they don't like Pac-Man or he can't fit well, but those people have never seen or more importantly played the Pac-Man World series.

CookieEpic, on 09 Jun 2013 - 07:57 AM, said:This has probably been said already, but what about the extreme slim chance we get Quote in the new smash bros?
Yes, cave story isn't exactly well known to people, but i still think it would make an amazing moveset.

I know nothing about Cave Story, is it strictly Nintendo? Quote looks like a cool character so I'd like to see him in. I want a few characters I'm not familar with.

Enjoy

About Pac-Man

Pac-Man's moves could easily go like this:

Melee moves: Consist of different punch/kick combos

Special: Rev roll: Attack where here charges & rolls fast. This move could be cancel into other specials or melee moves for mix-ups.

Side Special: Pellet Throw. In Pac-Man World 1 you practically did nothing but pellet throws to kill the final boss toc.

Down Special: Butt Bounce. Pac-Man does 3 butt bounces in a roll & is quite mobile while doing so making his butt bounce unique & better than bowser & yoshi's butt bounce.

Up Special: Pac-a-Dot Trail. Tether recovery consisting of pellots.

His grab would actually be him trying to bite you, get attack is a bite & then you can throw your opponent in any direction.

Pac-Man can definitely happen, and his chances are pretty good.

I don't even need to say my most hyped as it's the most obvious choice (or if you've seen my post around the forums you'd know too).

Other games I'm generally excited for are Sonic Lost World, SMTxFE, Yarn Yoshi, Bayonetta 2, and 3D Mario.

Everything else I have to either see, see again or I just don't care about it.
 

It's only natural to look back at previous SSB videos as well as prediction vids as we wait for the showing of Super Smash Bros. Brawl on 6/11/13. Here's a few videos I recommend watching while you wait!


Shaky (Ness) vs Abadango (Wario) from APEX 2013


- Pure epicness in video form, just watch

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C57nx6B7_aA
- Awesome top 5 hopes for SSB4 vid, I agree with alot of the things said

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8p-CYk7lwQ
- Awesome TAS battle!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJHrqbOjplg
- Salem (ZSS) vs Mr.R (Marth) from APEX 2013

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9HXmnga5bI
- Mini combo session by Jbandrew & False

That would be cool.

Can't wait for the trailer!!

I'm very curious about the Ganondorf's design. Or even if he will be in the game... I don't think he would be out, but I don't wanna see Twilight Princess Ganondorf again. I would be happier if they put Ocarina Ganondorf again (since Ocarina 3D is a recent game). Are there any chances of get Ganondorf out and put Demise or Ghirahim?

Sakurai confirms an SSB4 trailer! Going to be shown simultaneously worldwide.

Thanks in advance, and let me know if I can answer any questions you have about Japan!

I'm sure you must be enjoying it! I can read/write/understand/speak to a basic extent, so like daily convos & children folktales, things like that.

Only 4:17 for SSB4 but over 10 mins for Pikmin 3? It better be fake.

RogueStatus28, on 01 Jun 2013 - 03:23 AM, said:I think the Smash Bros online is going to be good this time around with the Tekken/ Soul Caibur team helping. Smash Bros beta for the eShop would basically ensure quality online. Kids Icarus Uprising had a very good online service, with that team AND Namco working on Smash 4? it's going to be good both single player and online 

Totally agree w/ this. I play Tekken Tag Tournament 2 often and the online is pretty good. Smash NEEDS this. This way, when I curbstomp people online there will be no excuses. Granted, the online wasn't good, but I disliked how people tried to put the full blame on Brawl's wifi when they were just bad players. However, no online is going to be perfect, if people want to play other smashers completely lagless, they're gonna have to go to tournies.

Limelight788, on 29 May 2013 - 01:59 AM, said:I'd like for everyone here to take this poll.

A friend of mine (who made a previous poll that reached 2000 votes before, but had twenty-five characters) has created a new poll that consists of virtually every character someone wants to see. The poll has not only characters, but also stages, Assist Trophies and bosses available as well. First part is characters, the second part is stage and finally Assist Trophies and bosses.
Make sure to vote for who you want and not who you expect. This is a want poll, not an likelihood poll. You also only get one chance to vote, so vote wisely.
I am really crossing my fingers for a Mega Man confirmation at E3 this year. Mega Man is my most wanted character and my favorite video game character, so I'm really hoping Sakurai gets him in. Not sure if he'll be at E3 due to there being a decent chance of another third-party getting in, but I'd say he has a good shot of making it mainly due to his iconic status and his massive popularity.

As for characters I expect at E3, those would be Ridley, Palutena, Takamaru and Little Mac, although the only character I want that I could see at E3 is Mega Man (anyone else will probably be either a DOJO reveal or an unlockable).


The MegaMan SSB4 Thread (from Smashboards) listed alot of good reasons as to why he should n could be playable. If we get a capcom representative, it should be Mega Man.

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY NEED IT TO BE MEGA MAN X THOUGH.

Soul, on 29 May 2013 - 10:35 PM, said:Guess you're not going...You shouldn't even expect that.
They'll probabaly have Pikmin, Mariokart, and Mario 3d.

I'm not really expecting it, but its not outside the realm of possibilities.

Me going depends entirely on if theres an SSB4 demo or not since the nearest one is like 5 minutes away.
