I think being that SSB4 is this time getting alot of hints to getting some big stuff revealed, I thought a separate thread just for the SSB stuff could be very useful as we get ever so closer to SSB4. Considering not only will it be part of the beginning show but there will quite possibly be a separate Nintendo Direct.

Which speaking of which, there seems to be actually a rumor here (Source being 4Chan or not, I find it at least somewhat realistic). Make sure to put your response to the image here in a Spoiler box because if it is real then it spoils it for those who are waiting for the Trailer to surprise them.

So according to this. This is what we'll know:

The official title is Super Smash Bros. Calamity (I think it's kinda a weird name and certainly the longest surname after 64, Melee, and Brawl but I can roll for it.). Though I suppose if people dislike this game they'll have an easy way to make fun of it given the definition of Calamity...

Returning from Brawl
Mario
Link
Pit
Kirby
Pikachu
DK
Captain Falcon
Fox
Samus
Peach
Zelda
Olimar
Ness
Ice Climbers
Marth
Yoshi
Bowser
Sonic

Newcomers
Mewtwo (In X/Y Form)
Palutena
Skulk
Tharja
Pac-Man

That's over 20 already confirmed characters if this is true (But considering the roster expectations this is likely only about half the roster). But anyway, I find it at least somewhat believable because of what they're saying about the trailer being an homage to Melee's Opening, I think the Newcomers are quite believable as well (Including Pac-Man since Namco is working on the game after all), and I actually never realized that Mewtwo having relevence in X/Y could pave his way to returning again to Smash Brothers.

Welcome to the in-general Super Smash Bros thread! In here speculations, discussions about anything revealed prior to the release. And discussion about the game after release as well shall be placed here. Given this thread's been like that since E3 ended though probably don't need to say too much. However in the OP I will put what's been confirmed.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES/RETURNING MECHANICS/GENERAL INFO

Tripping's been removed
Game speed faster then Brawl but slower then Melee's
3DS will have some kind of character customization setting that will be transferable to the Wii U version
Footstool Jumping and Final Smashes will Return
Multiple, non-directional air dodging like Brawl
Multiple Taunts return as well.
Cutscenes won't be as heavily focused on. Likely meaning no Story mode like the Subspace Emissary.
The 3DS Version is geared more for the single-player. While the Wii U version is aimed for the Multiplayer.
Both versions will have the same amount of characters.
Sakurai has expressed interest in DLC and Patches for this game.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

I don't think they'd reveal that many characters right off the bat.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

I think we need

King K. Rool

Waluigi

Geno

Galactaknight (maybe)

Mega Man

Bowser Jr./Shadow (they could have a Zelda/Sheik thing going on.

Considering most of the characters are no-brainer returnees I actually disagree a little bit. How many newcomers did we get in the Brawl Trailer? Pit, Meta Knight, Zero Suit Samus, Wario, and Solid Snake. The exact same amount of newcomers revealed here.

This time Nintendo may just not be as lenient on holding up on the Smash Veterans showing up as they were with the Brawl trailer when we only got Mario, Link, Pikachu, Kirby and technically Samus.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion


Everything else is believable (Shulk, Pac-Man, Palutena, and Mewtwo all make sense as newcomers, and those it lists from Brawl are all pretty likely to return), but this one makes me think that it could be fake. I haven't played Fire Emblem: Awakening, but Tharja really so important in that game that she earns a spot in SSB before Chrom, the main character?
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

Mewtwo in its new form would be awesome.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

i'm going to agree with smasher. tharja seems like a weird choice. it's not like she had any real story influences. i'm thinking this might be fake
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

I'll put my thoughts about it in the quote.

So according to this. This is what we'll know:

The official title is Super Smash Bros. Calamity (I think it's kinda a weird name and certainly the longest surname after 64, Melee, and Brawl but I can roll for it. No, I disagree, I like it. Way better than Universe or whatever that was). Though I suppose if people dislike this game they'll have an easy way to make fun of it given the definition of Calamity...

Returning from Brawl
Mario
Link
Pit
Kirby
Pikachu
DK
Captain Falcon
Fox
Samus
Peach
Zelda
Olimar
Ness
Ice Climbers
Marth
Yoshi
Bowser
Sonic
So, what about major characters like Ganodorf. (won't care honestly if we get Ghirahim, but maybe this is just some of them. but no ike :(

Newcomers
Mewtwo (In X/Y Form) I don't care about Pokemon
Palutena She was on my list, so that's good.
Skulk I'll enjoy this one, I think
Tharja What? As cool as I think this would be, it seems kind of far-fetched. I mean, she wasn't a major part of Awakening's story. Either they want a majic user (but I still want Chrom and Ike), or perhaps it's because she ranked pretty high on the favorite Awakening character poll list thing
Pac-Man fine with this.

That's over 20 already confirmed characters if this is true (But considering the roster expectations this is likely only about half the roster). But anyway, I find it at least somewhat believable because of what they're saying about the trailer being an homage to Melee's Opening, I think the Newcomers are quite believable as well (Including Pac-Man since Namco is working on the game after all), and I actually never realized that Mewtwo having relevence in X/Y could pave his way to returning again to Smash Brothers.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

I'd believe it if it was Chrom, but Tharja just seems kind of random.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

These newcomers are all ....eh.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

It just doesn't seem like they would suddenly put Mewtwo back in the game like that. Plus, I think it's weird that they'll put Paulenta into the game when she is Pit's final smash. Granted, we have no idea if the final smash stuff will be back in this game, but I don't know...

It seems really unlikely. I thought they would put someone like Eirika or Lyn or Ephraim before they go with Tharja.

Um, no.

Pit's final smash can easily be changed. If you've played Uprising, you'd totally see the potential (I was thinking like the Three Sacred Treasures or something), And Chrom, hello! Lyn, is just no. She was in one game, and I'm pretty sure Eliwood was more known from her game but people just suggest her since she was in Brawl and they know nothing about Fire Emblem. I would like Eirika and Ephraim, but I admit, that they are rather irrelevant now, which is why Marth, Ike, and Chrom are ideal.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

Ahahahahahahaaa.

1. "Portable" slapped in on the end sounds really dumb.
2. Again, Tharja. Even though I don't play Fire Emblem.
3. Source is 4chan. Haha.

I think it's just more people lying.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

This is just as reliable as that other rumor thing that popped up on GameFAQs a while ago

Bottom Line? Not trusting it.

Except those jokings, we can't afford more Mario members here. And I thought there are many other guys like Toad and Daisy in the first row. King K Rool would be okay if Diddy isn't in this time.

Sorry may I ask who's Skulk? And Mewtwo is a special case since Nintendo intended to promote Mewtwo again in XY system.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

@ Dorayaki

Shulk is from Xenoblade, which I recently believe became a Nintendo franchise (don't quote me on this)
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

HELL YEA! SONIC IS RETURNING! hopefully.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

Tharja, huh?... Interesting.

She is pretty popular in both NA and Japan, so I wouldn't doubt her having some kind of involvement, plus a mage would be a nice change from the usual sword-toters.

But ugh, I'm kind of hoping this is fake because I don't really want to see Pac-Man in Smash Bros.
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

Yeah Palutena's not happening. If I end up eating my words so be it, but keep in mind that just because a character is in an animated opening sequence does not mean they're playable in game. (Ridley, Goroh, and all those Pokemon in the Melee trailer)

I kind of think that whole post is bullshit, anyway.


On an unrelated note, please remove slipping and tripping

Banana peels causing them are fine but the random ones are just meaningless
 
Re: E3 2013 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion

So, it's been confirmed we're getting a whole trailer at the E3 Direct on Wednesday. Yay!

EDIT:

And be sure to read the Shroom this week for my special Smash 4 character opinion section!
