Confirmed Character discussion

[Byron X]

lol, Pit in my opinion is the coolest on there so far. Finally, some heroes from 14 years ago needs credit too.

[Nwordtim]

But, snake is cooler jk that just my opinon watch i play the game and he's going to suck *** but, I'll still play as him no matter what because you know why??? I believe in Snake and he believe in me it's like the heart of the cards LOL LOL OMG JK.

[Warrior of Zarona]

Metaknight's three-hit combo in the air reminds me of Kirby's Fair. Anyone else agree? The last hit looks like it has a relatively strong knockback to it.

[BooThunder]

im not sure about kirby as a chef but perhaps kirby is stealing the power of another character from a future release like mario cooking that is going to be in the game, or maybe its marhou marouigue, hes a trophy from melee that wears a chef's hat

[ArichTheViking]

Not sure if its been brought up, but what are the new Kirby transformations going to look like?

Pit Kirby will have Pit's hair with the leaves...
Wario Kirby will have the hat at least and it would be hilarious if he had nose and moustache...
Meta-Knight Kirby will just look kickass...

But, Suitless Samus Kirby? And most importantly.... SNAKE KIRBY??? Imagine Kirby with stubble, sneaking up behind Mario's back and snapping his neck.

[Warrior of Zarona]

Snake Kirby will probably have a bandana, similar to Fighter Kirby in the games.

Suitless Samus Kirby... probably her hair.

[denizen]

meta knight looks plain awesome...can't wait for other confirmed characters.

[Erk Aduro]

Suitless Samus Kirby... probably her hair.
Creampuff in a catsuit would be hilarious and disturbing at the same time. Though, Kirby seems to be very secure in his masculinity, considering some of his hats could count as cross dressing. Or maybe he's genderless? Meh, I'm thinking way too much about this. >_>

Mario, Link, Pikachu, and Kirby seem to have all their old attacks. Nothing new and nothing taken away. Probably for the best.

Meta Knight seems to have at least four jumps, using his wings on the second jump. They turn back to a cape when he lands. In his "run," he spreads his wings and glides. His attack consisted of seven slashes, seems to have good priority and could be along the same vain Link's Neutral A. His Forward Aerial A look to be three consecutive slashes, his Down Aerial A was one powerful downward slash perhaps similar to Marth's, and his Back Aerial A was three slashes while twirling. I'm hoping his Neutral Ariel A is similar the Sword ability in the Kirby games, causing him to spin like a buzzsaw with his blade. If the cinematics are any indication, his ground dodge involves him momentarily disappearing into his cape. Very cool.

I'm now a hopeless Meta Knight fan. He'll probably be the first new character I use. Kirby + Young Link + Marth = Win.

[xianfeng]

I can't wait for more info and i hope that kirby's hats look awsome and are maybe a little better (the zelda one sucked ****) I Alternate colours OMG i want snake in bright pink just picture it lol

[Mido02]

has any1 considered mech rider as a new character? i mean i cant really figure out any moveset 4 him but Nintendo made it work 4 C.Falcon and they are pretty much the same thing. maybe since C.Falcon has a Muai Thai thing going on, Mach rider could be an extreme boxer!!

that also leads me 2 questioning how about the other old school characters such as contra? double dragon? or even karate man, little mac or even the dog from duckhunt? is it possible that they will also add recently new nintendo characters such as chibi robo, resident evil 4 guy,1 of the battalion wars vets, saron, and so on?

1 old school character that would be very interesting and unique from the rest would bedig dug man. since i stated this b4 and was rejected since dig dug man is a 3rd party dude he wouldnt show up but ever since snake popped his head i've seen soo much possabilities.

dig dug man could use a shovel as a weapon but only as his special B moves. as 4 example foward B he would swipe with his shovel foward, downward B he would swipe downwards. this would even be more interesting if they gave dig dug man the unique ability 2 dig through levels using the B movesets. imagine it, a level like Brinstar Depths, dig dug man gets stuck on the bottom, NO problem, just jump and use upward B and boom he's in the ground and you could keep on using up B 2 dig upwards and change directions easily as wells. of coarse other characters can follow dig dug man in2 his tunnels but as soon as dig dug man reaches the surface or exits his tunnel the tunnel disappears and every1 who was inside the tunnel gets blown in an upwards direction just above the surface!! this would give dig dug man some great advantages but he wouldnt really be a great fighter/jumper.

ohhh and of coarse his neutral B move would be that wierd hook arrow thing he does and when it makes contact 2 an opponet if you keep on pressing B he would keep on pumping and pumping up the opponent until they explode(not really explode but just get blown away)!!!


as 4 Oni Link being too insignificant that rule doesn't apply. if it wasn't 4 smash i would have never known who Captian Falcon was and im pretty sure i wasn't the only 1 who didn't know who they were at 1st. same goes 4 Mr. Game & Watch(also known as the firefighter man), Marth, Roy, and Falco(haha j/j about that 1). most of these characters owe their careers 2 smash and wouldn't even be talked about if it wasn't 4 them. my other point why Oni Link should be in the game is because he is just too great of a character 2 not be in there. have you ever played Majora's Mask? that is also another 1 who would make a great character, Majora himself(or is it a she?)



i hope all the characters come back, even Pichu because it wouldn't be smash if they took any1 out. :)

Scav edit: Mido, please do not discuss possible new characters in this thread. This is for CONFIRMED characters only. This will be your last warning.

[The Great Marth]

has it been confirmed that all the original characters(marth,fox,shiek,IC...ect) will be back?

if not.....what are the chances of them returning?

900 posts!!!!

[Warrior of Zarona]

Mario, Link, Pikachu, and Kirby seem to be the main "mascots" of SSB. You'll see them on the cover of Melee fighting, as well as the first four to fight in the intro to Melee itself, when Mario transforms from a figurine to a moving and living being.

Chances are, the other characters are still in there.

[GaMiN]

I hope you guys know you can play as more than one character... XP

Pit is looking SERIOUSLY cool though. =D

[Ember Joe]

Is it just me, or does Pit look like a MetaKnight clone (and visa versa since they are both new)

1. Both used 3 slash ground combo (Pit got to part 2 but very much looked like identicle unfinished combo before jump)
2. Both used kirby esc wing jumping
3. Both used similar side slash while in air

[Antioch]

doubt it.

that 2 hit he used was definitley finished.
the second hit seemed to act like an uppercut.
so it may be a utilt or usmash.
of course i could be wrong, but uppercuts usually aren't followed by a ground attack.
unless he were to jump...
which he did.

[GaMiN]

@Joe- I don't think so simply because Pit has a bow (I have a feeling Metaknight won't have much for range), and also if you look Pit uses dual short swords (which are the two halves of his bow), as opposed to Metaknight's single sword. I don't think they'll be clones of each other. =)

[wiiii]

I love the fact that Metaknight and Pit have multi jumps, that's just going to rock.

dude, i think every character is going to be able to multi jump after hittin gwith an attack or something.

[Brokenskye]

Pit, from the NES series, Kid Icarus to me, so far owns all the rest. Wario is a close second to Meta-knight. Hell! They all rock! I can't

Will Zelda/Sheik be split up this time?

I believe that Snake is an exception to the third party rule of Smash. Otherwise it just wouldn't be Smash if we had icons from other devs coming all up in our Nintendo grillz.

Snake isn't a staple to any system, thus he could hold some merit (though I think it's an odd yet wonderful choice) as a character; plus he started on Nintendo.

Sonic and all these crazy speculations are just out of line with the core idea of Smash imo...

Lol. "Snake fits better in Smash than Sonic." Give me a break. Miyamoto already confirmed that they were talking to other companies.

im not sure about kirby as a chef but perhaps kirby is stealing the power of another character from a future release like mario cooking that is going to be in the game, or maybe its marhou marouigue, hes a trophy from melee that wears a chef's hat

It's Chef Kawasaki, who has appeared in Kirby games. It's his super move, Chef Kawasaki will not be in the game.

Everything we know is from the trailer. If it's in the trailer, we know it. If it's not, we don't.

That said, there's a 99.99% chance that all of Melee's characters will return.

Is it just me, or does Pit look like a MetaKnight clone (and visa versa since they are both new)

They're not clones. There are some similiarities, but Pit has dual blades plus a bow, while Metaknight has a single sword and won't have any projectiles.

dude, i think every character is going to be able to multi jump after hittin gwith an attack or something.

That doesn't make any sense. Pit and Metaknight have multi-jumps because they can both fly in their games, like Kirby.

Will Zelda/Sheik be split up this time?

We don't know.

[valoem]

JoshCube is gonna LOVE ZeroSuitSamus !!!!

[devilish]

im just gonna kick all the ***** in this forum, i mean ONLINE, WORLDWIDE, how it would be...

[maelstrom218]

Well, it looks like Mario is exactly the same. . .IIRC, in the trailer (right before Snake comes out, when Mario is fighting Link), Mario still has the exact same d-smash, u-smash, and a few other moves.

I can only hope that they give Mario a proper KO move this time, instead of his odd f-smash and wimpy d-smash.

[Chill]

Snake is an odd choice, but he did at the very least did have his start on Nintendo systems. They should at least only add characters that had their start on a Nintendo system like Viewtiful Joe. But I'm sure that characters like Sonic will make it in.

I'll still like this game but if they add in a bunch of third party characters Smash will lose some of what makes it so unique. It won't be the best fighting game Nintendos characters have appeared in. It will be the best fighting game Nintendo, Konami, Capcoms, and Sqaures characters have appeared in.

I'll still like this game, but with the inclusion of third part characters it just won't be the same.

I love the fact that Metaknight and Pit have multi jumps, that's just going to rock.
Unlike Kirby and Jigglypuff when they attacked they didn't drop suddenly in the air. They were also capable of jumping again quickly after attacking. This should lead to some cool mid-air battles.

[Kereokacola]

Honestly, how could Viewtiful Joe be incorporated into the game? His art-style is cel-shaded and very cartoonish. By changing his style, won't that be like changing the character completely? To be honest, he looks very similar to Captain Falcon.

[Shaolin-Ninja]

OOOH!!!! I can't wait to see Pit's moves! Air battles, flights across the entire stage-you name it!

[Chill]

No, not really. They could alter his design slightly to make him "fit in", or leave him cel shaded. It seems like quite a few people think YL should be cel shaded. Looks don't have much to with anything. Ganandorf looks nothing like CF and he is his clone. VJ looking similar wouldn't mean he has to be anything like him.

[Kereokacola]

Right. The only reason why I said they looked alike because they have the similar head-gear deal going on... along with the tight outfit (though the colors are different.)

As popular as Viewtiful Joe was, I wouldn't doubt he has a chance to appear. In reality, any Nintendo/Third-Party supported character has a chance. Only time will tell.

[ChaosKnightXD]

Older Final Fantasy games have been on the super nintendo. Could this mean that we might see Kefka in SSBB?

What about Tales of Phantasia, that was also on Super Nintendo.

[StoneColdLink]

I hope they return Ganondorf, it wouldnt be the same without him. I hope they put in Waluigi, Ridley, Daisy, Krystal (Star Fox Adventures), Toad, Diddy Kong, Wart (Super Mario Bros 2), there's so many. Hopefully they dont put alot of third party characters in, that wouldnt make smash bros, smash bros. Let just hope Nintendo makes it just as good, if not better than Melee.

[Antioch]

agreed 100%.

[TheMerchant]

See, there can be a lot of different possibilities of characters here. King Dee dee dee would be nice, and maybe even fierce diety link (the one from majora's mask) would be awesome! Also think of the possibilities of a shadow mario, or a paper mario maybey?

I like the idea of paper mario. I was thinking about that in study hall today.

[Plomid]

following scavs command
i kinda get this information from nintendo:

if you get the wii you´ll get snake young and healthy and whooping the enemies(of your a playstation fanboy) *** and this could attract some ps3 fan boys .rant: (god ive always wnted to kick that fat plumbers *** especially using snake

if you get the ps3 you´ll maybe get better graphics but youll get him old and washed up and even commiting suicide(check the tailer)

so who do you choose

[Silver Flame]

I'm really glad Meta Knight is in
I didn't think Pit would make it but he looks sweet
I don't like all of the third party charecters its just not SSB
All the rumors put just about every charecter on every console ever in the game
I think their are too many sword fighters
4 of 9 confirmed use swords
only Link used a swords in SSB and he was joined by Marth, Roy, and Young Link in SSBM

[Bowser85]

I don't know if anyone else suggested this but has anyone considered the possibility of Mother 3 characters? I know a couple of people would want Flint http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/Falcovsleon20/flint.jpg, I'd like to see Duster http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/Falcovsleon20/duster.jpg

Other candidates I'd want include King K. Rool, Diddy Kong, Krystal, and Issac from Golden Sun.

I'm more than glad that they found a way around all of those idiotic Pit = Link clone comments by making it so that he can snap his bow in half and use it as a pair of daggers. That along has made him and Metaknight tie for "most excited character" for me. Although I must say that Wario donning his Wario Ware biker outfit came as unexpected. I'm hoping for some game specific moves and not just crude humor stuff (that seems to be mentioned in his Ware game titles as well as his instruction manuals if all of that nose picking talk is to denote anything.) like that Nuclear Fart attack.

4 of 9 confirmed use swords

I don't think Pit counts. He's technically not using swords but rather the two halves of his bow. Zero Suit Samus can be argued. Although she can turn her pistol into a lightsaber, I don't think that makes her a traditional sword fighter.

[Resting_Fox]

Funny then, isn't it, that most people are yet demanding that Ganondorf should have a sword.

But really, swords are a very common weapon, especially for protagonists in fantasy games. Sure they could also give Ganondorf an Axe or something [Depending on what he has in TP] but don't go bashing the sword just because a lot of characters use it. Keep in mind, that if the dev's aren't going to complain about having to MAKE these movesets all based on one weapon, you shouldn't complain about having to play them.

[Kabyk-Greenmyst]

It's not that I don't want more swordsman, but I'm just worried. How many different strokes can you possibly have for a certain type of move? I mean, if you start dipping into different actual sword styles OK, such fencing used in france back in the day vs barbarian swordsmanship or ancient chinese samurai style.

Give someone a B*****d sword, a 2-handed sword, what not. Pit duel-wield daggers is awesome, and if they continue on that line, things will be good....

Also why I AM a big fan of Fire Emblem (go go FE castle! if it is FE), but not a fan of adding Joshua or Ephraim&Eirika, all swordsman. As I said before, BRING ON THE FIRE EMBLEM MAGIC-USERS!

[Mrobinson587]

Plomid you really should change your sig considering hes confirmed LOL!!!!!
