Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

While I'll use him, I'm kind of disappointed. I wanted to see Chrom playable and that greatly lessens his chances. Maybe it's because I never got the chance to play Path of Radiance or Radiant Dawn, but I really would've preferred Chrom instead. :/

I guess it's cool that he's back though. I do like how they used his Radiant Dawn design since that one looks better imo.

If Intelligent Systems wants Chrom then he will be in if that will likely still want a 3rd FE character next to Marth and Ike.

It seems like 2 rumors have released today.

The first is that a website called http://www.onefinalsmash.com/ is now open.

This site looks fake fan made since if Nintendo opened it. They would likely link to there website and not the E3 one.

The second is something that people are calling the CSS leak were a few pictures of the roster  and a few more details.

An Anonymous user from some site is saying that 2 other characters are in the tourny mode Mac, Mega Man and that a third appears when the mode is won that the person is saying is Ridley?

I would say that this is fake but, pics of the roster have been taken down everywhere.

I was able to see a picture though and here's how the fighters were lined up.

Row 1
Mario, Luigi, Peach, 2 open spots, Yoshi, 1 open spot, DK, 2 open spots, Kirby, King Dedede, 1 open spot, Fox, 3 open spots.

Row 2
Link, Zelda, 3 open spots, Samus, 2 open spots, Pit, 1 open spot, Villager, 4 open spots, Little, Mac, 1 open spot.

Row 3
Pikachu, Charizard. Lucario, 3 open spots, Marth, 4 open spots, Wii Fit Trainer, 1 open spot, Sonic, Mega Man, 2 open spots.

If this is true I think the roster will look like this when it's final.

Row 1
Mario, Luigi. Peach, Bowser, Rosalina & Luma, Yoshi, Wario, DK, Diddy Kong, third DK character, Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Fox, Falco, Wolf, Mr. Game and Watch.

Row 2
Link, Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf, Toon Link, Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Ridley, Pit, Palutena, Villager, Ice Climbers, Rob, Takamaru, Captain Falcon, Little Mac, Olimar.

Row 3
Pikachu, Charizard, Lucario, Greninja, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Marth, Ike, Chrom, Ness, Shulk  Wii Fit Trainer, Mii, Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man Random.

I would like to see 50 character but, I don't think it will happen.

The first one is fake. For the other one, do you have a pic of the roster Gameguy? Since you were able to see it I'd guess so. It seems like it could be the character select screen for the Smash Bros. Invitational, unless the other characters are just locked in the game?

I wouldn't be surprised to see 50 characters given the current roster. But Sakurai did say there wouldn't be as many characters as there were in Brawl, so who knows.

I think its cool how the color changes to red now when you about to go back on the stage. Also does anything thing that we might got something for Mario Kart 8 near the end of the week? I think Wario or a Mario Kart 8 stage will be revealed if we do get anything.

That's kind of cool, but wasn't there already something you could use to tell if they were about to fall?...

I don't really think anything will be shown for Mario Kart 8, since there's nothing really to show in Smash Bros. for it.

Sakurai wrote:Pic of the day. The rocket belt from Pilotwings lets you fly upward by jumping. This is a really useful item for characters that have weaker recoveries. By the way, is that cape fireproof?

It's funny how Ike is using the rocket belt since he has a bad recover and his cape is fireproof.

In that case, I do wonder if the fire will actually damage you a bit. Probably not, but it could.

Sakurai wrote:Pic of the day. Characters that have heavy damage slowly start to emit steam. When your opponent starts to get nice and smoky, give 'em a solid attack!

I like this small change. I also can't wait to see the other characters with the steam effect.

I like how he worded that. XD But uh, yeah, it is a cool effect, but I probably won't notice it much when playing. I'm guessing it gets stronger the more damaged you get.

Sakurai wrote:Pic of the day. You can charge up Ike's Eruption attack by holding the button down, but remember to release it right before it fully charges to avoid recoil damage. Let go of the button at the moment the sword shines!

Anyone who played Brawl knows this. However, there's new Smash Bros players on Miiverse who need to know this info. Also there's still a small chance that something for Mario Kart 8 could be shown to end the week but, I'm not getting my hopes up since Wario will likely be saved for E3 if he does not shown up for the last update in May.

I kind of doubt there will be any returning characters shown at E3, but I guess it's possible. And it's good to see that the charging attack works like it did in Brawl, since I don't think it needs to be changed.

When Brawl was released the remaining returning characters were spat out of the Dojo a few days before and after the release. At E3 I think we'll either see one huge third party reveal, or more likely a flashy trailer. Namco might put one more of their own in. Pacman's already done this fighting thing, it's not a huge draw, maybe someone else.

Yeah, that's why I don't really think any returning characters will be shown at E3. More likely just 2 or 3 new ones. I still think Pac-Man will get in over any other Namco character, but I guess it could be someone else.

And if you tap one of the fighter displays…! "…You can highlight that fighter on your screen. This is useful when you want to get back at a particular opponent. You can also highlight yourself if you need to keep better track of where you are. This is a great benefit to having your own individual screen."

I'm glad that put the damage picture on lower screen since the top screen would be a little cramped if it was there. I also like how you can highlight any fighter.
