Super Smash Bros.

No Ganondorf or Mother series mention is scaring me some @_@ Should've talked about giving him his damn sword already

There goes my hopes for Ghirahim and Marina Liteyears (which was impossible anyway)

Still hyped, that Megaman final smash...

Mega Man's final smash is awesome, Nintendo appreciates the character more than Capcom does...

Easily my favorite part of the direct. Sad but true on the second point as well.

Makes sense if they're getting rid of characters who change.

Rumor: Shulk, Palutena, Chrom, Chorus Men, & Pokemon from X & Y yet to be revealed

Last year, Gematsu was tipped off prior to E3 about six new characters supposedly set to appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and for Nintendo 3DS.

They were: Mega Man, Villager (Animal Crossing), Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac (Punch Out), Pac-Man, and Mii (Wii series).

So far, all but Pac-Man and Mii have been confirmed.

Today, we received a new e-mail from the same tipster, who claims Pac-Man and Mii are still on the way, and the following characters will also appear:

• Shulk (Xenoblade)
• Palutena (Kid Icarus)
• Chrom (Fire Emblem: Awakening)
• Chorus Men (Rhythm Heaven)
• Pokemon from Pokemon X and Y

Today's Info

New Fighters

• Charizard
• Greninja

New Returning Fighters

• Zero Suit Samus - In the previous game, she was designed with slightly less physical strength. So she’s been given a pair of jet boots, giving her kicks that combine power and speed. She also has improved recovery ability.
• Sheik - Her moves have been polished, and two new attacks have been added. “Burst Grenade” is a side special that sends out little bombs that blow up once you pull the pin up. “Bouncing Fish” is an acrobatic kick technique.
• Yoshi - Yoshi now stands upright to be more in line with recent models, rather than like a dinosaur standing on two legs with a bent back. The changes make Yoshi even stronger, according to Nintendo.

New Details on Previously Announced Fighters

• Zelda - Her down special is now a new move called “Phantom Slash,” which summons a Phantom to attack or defend. It’s possible her phantom will get reflected back, however.
• Kirby - A “Hammer Flip” technique has been added. Press and hold the button to let the power hold up and unleash it. If you build the move up to maximum power and don’t use it, however, Kirby will take damage. Kirby’s final smash has been changed to “Ultra Sword.”
• Dedede - He now throws Gordos instead of Waddle Dees.
• Lucario - He now has stronger Aura attacks. When in trouble, it’ll do even more damage than in the previous game. However, powering up too much will land you in trouble. Lucario can also Mega Evolve, making his Aura attacks always do maximum damage.
• Olimar and Pikmin - Only three Pikmin now follow Olimar. Pikmin are now plucked in a fixed order – red, yellow, blue. Once dispatched, next come white, then purple, and back to red again. With their reduced numbers, the Pikmin are easier to see and manage. Olimar’s recovery move has also been changed to “Winged Pikmin,” which see the Pikmin fly Olimar through the air.
• Pit - His gliding mechanic has been cut. In its place, Pit has been powered up in a number of areas. The power of flight is an easy to use recovery move. And his final smash has been changed to the “Three Sacred Treasures.”
• Rosalina and Luma - Rosalina’s “Luma Shot” sends Luma out and brings it back. Luma can wander on its own and attack separately. Rosalina and Luma each have their own set of moves and can each fight somewhat independently. Her side special is called “Star Bits” and lets Luma fire a number of projectiles. Her up special is called “Launch Star,” a nice long distance recovery move. Her down special is called “Gravitational Pull,” which will draw in items and might even render enemy shots ineffective. Her final smash is “Power Star,” which combines shooting stars with a gigantic one.
• Little Mac - On the ground, his attack power is extreme. He can also shrug off some attacks. His smash attacks hit at megaton levels. Unfortunately, his abilities in the air are extraordinarily weak. His ability to recover is also “kust terrible.” Little Mac also has a power meter. Connecting attacks and taking damage fill the Power Meter, and when it’s filled, he can hit a K.O. in one punch. His side special is the “Jolt Haymaker.” His up special is the “Rising Uppercut.” And his down special is the “Slip Counter.” His final smash is his transformation into “Giga Mac.” The classic Wireframe Mac will be available as a costume choice.
• Mega Man - His final smash calls in help from his famous co-stars MegaMan.exe, Mega Man X, Mega Man Omega-Xis, and Mega Man Volnutt.
• Wii Fit Trainer - They fight with healthy techniques. “Deep Breathing,” the down special, helps unify the mind so their attacks hit all the harder. The “Sun Saluation” neutral move is a projectile that can be created and saved for later use. The male and female models are both playable–each have the same heights and powers.

3DS-Exclusive “Smash Run” Mode

In the 3DS version features a game mode called “Smash Run.” In this mode, up to four players can run through an expansive dungeon exploring, fighting enemies, and obtaining power-ups like speed, attack, and jump. After the five minute time limit is up, the four powered-up fighters will enter a battle arena using their newly equipped items and power-ups. Different enemies will appear randomly each time you play.

3DS Frames Per Second

The 3DS version will run at 60 frames per second in stereoscopic 3D. Some of the assist trophies and Pokemon, however, will move at 30 frames per second.

Custom Move Sets

Players can now customize move sets when playing locally or online with friends. More information about this feature will be announced in the future.

Stages

The stages will be completely different betwee the 3DS and Wii U versions. Some stages will appear on both platforms, but the designs will differ depending on the system.

In the 3DS version, each stage will have two songs tied to it. In the Wii U version, you can go into “My Music” to find a trove of songs from past Super Smash Bros. games.

Some 3DS Stages

• Reset Bomb Forest
• 3D Land
• Spirit Train
• Gerudo Valley
• Arena Ferox
• Tortimer Island
• Living Room
• Prism Tower
• Rainbow Road
• Find Mii
• Balloon Fight
• Jungle Japes

Some Wii U Stages

• Mario Galaxy
• Pyrosphere
• Town and City
• Boxing Ring
• Pilot Wings
• Skyloft
• Windy Hill
• Garden of Hope
• Wii Fit Studio
• Palutena’s Temple
• Halberd

Some of the stages will have appeared in previous titles. Each system will have different past stages.

In the Mega Man stage “Wily Castle,” the Yellow Devil boss character will come flying out of the castle and attack fighters. Players can attack the Yellow Devil by striking its eye. The player who gets the last attack on the eye will be able to use his final explosion as an attack against competing players.

Boss characters make an appearance in other stages, as well, but details were not announced.

Most stages also has its own “Final Destination” mode, meaning a flat version of that stage.

Online Play

Online play consists of two modes:

• For Fun - Stages are random (no Final Destination). All items are dropped, Smash battles only, and only wins are recorded.
• For Glory - Final Destination and Final Destination versions of stages only. There are no items, one-on-one battles are possible, and both wins and losses are recorded.

Nintendo is also taking measures against naughty players. Temporary bans will be issued for players who start a match and not play, relentlessly target a specific individual, perform repeated self-destructs, frequently drop out of matches, cheat, or report other players for invalid reasons.

Players will be ranked on the new “Global Smash Power” system. The higher the stat, the stronger the player. It indicates how many people you have outscored.

Sheik's down smash is a kick, and it looks like the whip has been replaced. I miss the whip already ; ;

In the Sheik pic in front of Dr. Wily's fortress, it kinda looks like the whip.

They also had Sheik using the whip in what looked like a new taunt in the trailer. Could have been simply created for that shot though.

I am really excited about Greninja. Did not expect it, but it looks like it could be really fun to play. Fingers crossed it is a bulkier Sheik with a twist. I would also wager since we have a fire and water starter now, that a grass starter will be thrown in to even it out. I would say Seviper to keep things current, since Fennekin is a pokeball entry which likely means no Chesnaught. Don't know how they would do Seviper's jumps through without legs, so maybe Torterra.

Are they intentionally trying to change what it means to main a character here? Theres like 6 I want to play competitively with. Loving it.

They did have Ness' silhouette during the "Guess the Trophy" segments. I doubt they would have put it in there just for fun.

Having "Boss" monsters in stage I think confirms once and for all no Ridley. Especially since they showed his shadow when they were talking about boss/stage hazards.

[Serra]

I thought that at first too, but I'm guessing it's just the path of the grenade.

Credit where credit is due. Nintendo knocked it out of the park on this one. My mind is aflush with potential characters and stages now. Between this and Mario kart 8, they're going to sell some consoles to at least people like me who were very on the fence.

[Corrderio]

Mega Man's final smash is awesome. Might have to change my mind about getting the Wii U version after the exclusive mode coming to the 3DS, which is a shame since I was hoping I'd have a reason to use my Wi U.

id bet that Wii U will have its own exclusive mode but since its out in Winter they will focus on 3DS features more to push sells to that for now like they usually do.

Looks hype, but I remember feeling the same way about Brawl.

Not twice. Not until I play it.

[Scythiroth]

Well, this SSB Direct definitely made me want to buy both versions Day 1. Was not expecting them to come out so far apart in time, but at least we're getting one of them in the Summer which isn't too far off. Still hoping for a potential SSB themed Wii U or something before buying one. >.>

Hopefully. All I know is the Mega Man final small gave me wood.
