All this Wolf hype has made me hyped for Wolf, and I never even played him in Brawl.

Why was lucas removed in the first place?
They probably didn't legitimately remove him. I bet they had the intentions to add him, but cut him at the last minute due to time constraints.

Remember, Bowser Jr. was almost cut from development! So there were probably characters that were stopped mid-development. :)

Unrelated but I feel like going for a 100% playthrough on Earthbound. Getting all the pictures, all characters to level 99, getting the ultimate weapons (all the rare items at least), and etc. I may do it in the future for Mother 3 too when I get a english cartridge for it.

Oh, nice! I've done that once and it can be pretty painful at times, but I love Earthbound too much to care. :p

Yeah I'm pretty excited, first I have to 100% SMT IV. I almost have all the demons unlocked in that game and already have all the ultimate accessories in stuff. I gotta go on my quest to 100% all my games!

I've been wondering about how integrated DLC characters will be into the existing games. For example ...

1. Will they have custom specials, or be limited to their default set? Will we have to collect the specials if they have them?
2. Will they have scenes or trophies when you beat different single-player modes?
3. Will they be integrated into the selection screen, or have a separate selection screen similar to Miis?
4. Will they be added to All Star mode?

I don't know if any of these have already been answered. In a perfect world, they would be indistinguishable from normal fighters and have all the benefits, but I bet there's going to be some limitations.

I hope you're right. I guess I'm just a "high hopes, low expectations" kind of guy, which is precisely why I was so stunned by his reveal. :)

I just want to say congrats to all you Lucas fans, who still managed to get him back even when it looked like his time in Smashbros was over.

Also, I showed this to my fellow Mewtwo fans already, but I'm sure you guys will appreciate this Miiverse post I found as well.

I'm really excited for the Lucas amiibo. I mean a freaking Lucas figure released worldwide. I'm hope I'm lucky again to successfully reserve his amiibo just like I did with Ness. I imagine that will be a bigger bloodbath than yesterday.

Also I love this picture right mainly because of Lucas's facial expression here.

Some dark alleyway.
Somehow, I hope that Lucas's Final Smash shall become "The Dark Dragon", where all the seven needles are suddenly pulled out at once, which then ensues in a lot of chaotic destruction, working more or less the same way as PK starstorm in Brawl, with meteorites falling from the sky and whatnot.

Except this time, you honestly don't want anyone to survive.

Just to start a discussion but what's your guys favorite enemies in the Mother series? I've only played Earthbound (but I read up the stories on all the games which is why I know everything) so yeah my votes are going to the enemies of that game though they may change in the future. On the other hand my votes are...

Is it just me or does Lucas render look really bad?



It seriously look like some Photoshop'd Ness for a leak or something.
That's... surprisingly accurate. Now I'm truly wondering if the render was based off fan renders of Lucas.
There are similarities, between him and his fan art and also just simply between him and Ness, most notably the curled fist. It wouldn't surprise me if they started off by flipping Ness' image and then working on it from there - why start from scratch when you have a near perfect body archetype to head-start you off with, y'know?

Coolest: "This is the eighth 'Your Sanctuary' location. But it's mine now." (Carbon / Diamond dog)

Goofiest: "Now you will truly see the advantages of being the third strongest mole!" (self-explanatory)

Hippest: "New Age Retro Hippie used ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily!" (also obvious)

They most likely did start work off by using Ness' render, although that isn't really out of line considering every aspect of Smash Lucas is started with Ness. Either way, he has a really great render, especially compared to Brawl.

Oh, also, just to correct anybody who didn't see the last page - the post Luco quoted was referring to the image posted previously showing the comparisons of Lucas fan art and his official render, not the post about Lucas having a photoshopped render. EDIT: Wow, that has to be the jankiest sentence I've put on these boards.

Ness' render would have no use in making Lucas' one.
(Or is that not how it's done?)
His model, however, might have been recycled.

Hm? They just load the same pose that Ness' render uses under Lucas' model, then edit it from there. Changing the camera angle and all that jazz just makes it look different.

After seeing Lucas and actually managing to pre-order a Ness amiibo, I feel like I should pick up Earthbound again.

...Then I remember that I also want to play through the Wonderful 101, Okami, Xenoblade Chronicles, Dragon Quest 9, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 7... There just aren't enough hours in the day... Still, I might stick with Earthbound for now. From what I can remember, I just beat Master Belch and I'm trying to make it through a desert. I'm liking the game so far - it really gives you this feeling that you're on a big adventure.

I loved it, It really feels that they are the same originals sprites that in their games just like in the 64

I broke my Xenoblade 3D hype train to put Lucas in my avatar and I even changed my user title. Lucas being in is big for me.

So many to choose... In terms of design, I love Ghost of Starman (even if they're pure evil to fight), Fobby/Foppy, Diamond Dog, Sky Yddet (see GoS), Cattle Snake, Einswein (also that pun), and probably a ton of others I am forgetting.

Welcome to my world. I want to beat Mother 3 again and finally beat Mother 1, but I'm getting Xenoblade in a couple of weeks... And if what I hear is correct, I will be pouring plenty of time into that.

I love it. Lucas looks so much better than Brawl, and Ness looks great too.

I had to change my Xenoblade avatar for Lucas, I'm just too hyped. Xenoblade is one of my fave games ever and yeah, it is pretty insane content wise.

Bomey is NOT an enemy, what are you even saying...


Amiibo rarely are as good as they look (see: Villager), so I'm not getting my hopes up >__>

My favourite enemies are probably all of the Osohe Ghosts.
Most of the more simple characters turn out fine though. Pikachu, Kirby, Sonic... I'm betting Ness and Lucas will be good.
