needs more fire emblem items

We need magic tomes or various staffs.

magic tomes would be neat, and it would be random magic tomes, rather then just one.

 

[SonicMario]

As a Pikachu main from the very beginning. Today's update is cool ^^

 

[DragonFreak]

YEEEESSSS! That move alone is the reason why I mained Pikachu.

 

[GalacticPetey]

Stuff like this is getting me very interested in how the metagame and tier list will shape up. It would be cool to see some more Pikachu in tournaments.

 

[Shyghoul]

pikachu is one of my mains so yeah i'm glad to see this

Maybe it's an assist trophy or Codec and Snake is back.

Just wishful thinking,

 

[Weasel]

I hope Snake returns as well. I don't really give a damn if he "fits" or not, he's fun to play.

I see four possibilities from this..

1. Raiden is an Assist Trophy. Meaning the Voice Actor kinda slipped that we'd have Metal Gear representation in Smash 4 again. Meaning Snake will indeed return.

2. Raiden will replace Snake as Metal Gear's Rep in Smash 4. (Which I find wouldn't make much sense)

3. Metal Gear somehow will have 2 reps: Snake and Raiden. Meaning if Metal Gear gets 2 reps, which would kill the rule about 3rd parties being restricted to one rep. But because of that, I find this the least likely of the four.

or 4. The voice actor mistook Playstation All-Stars for Smash Bros.

 

[Weasel]

After some snooping around, I found out that Langdon didn't voice Raiden in PSABR. So option 4 doesn't seem all that likely now.

 

[SonicMario]

I checked that as well. I think the most likely of the possibilities if this isn't just some huge misunderstanding that it was the first one. Meaning Snake might be back after all.

I'm pleased if so.

Spoiler

Pic of the day. Pikachu's Thunder now starts off with a thundercloud that deals a Meteor Smash! From left to right, you can see this combo starting with Pikachu throwing the opponent upward, Meteor Smashing with the lightning strike, and then directly attacking. Foes can dodge, of course, so the attack won't hit consistently, but when it does, it sure feels good!

Great, another reason for people to spam this move.

Eh... I don't really like this. I preferred it back when it could KO opponents if their damage meter was high enough, now it's just going to send them back to the ground. What sucks is that I distinctly remember in the original trailer for these games, Pikachu's Thunder worked just like before, so it's a new addition since they started developing the game... and I have to say, this is one of the few times where I honestly don't approve. This is one of those "this works find, no need to mess with it" kind of deals.

As for the Raiden thing... it's worth pointing out that Raiden's usual voice actor, Quinton Flynn, didn't voice Raiden here, throwing this rumor into question...

...Wait what?

Now I'm confused. Langdon didn't voice Raiden in Playstation All-Stars, yet he says

"Oh, the all-stars battle Royale was the one I was in. Lol! Yep. Totally got them confused." - Reuben Langdon

Unless he's just trying to save face from a possible NDA that he may have had with Nintendo or something...

 

[Tyrell Badd]

I'm not convinced. Why would Raiden of all MGS characters be appearing in SSB? None of the games he appeared in were on Nintendo platforms. If I see any Metal Gear character appearing, it's either going to be the return of Solid Snake or Big Boss.

Raiden even having a chance at appearing at all in the game is good news for those who want Snake back. As him outright replacing Snake or even him being a 2nd rep would be too ridiculous. As he'd likely be an Assist Trophy or he's in one of those Codec Calls.

Also some of the Metal Gear trophies were exclusive to Non-Nintendo Metal Gear games and Raiden was a Sticker. So the whole thing about how characters can't appear if they were not on a Nintendo system only applies to playable characters from a 3rd Party.

 

[New Super Mario]

Hmm, interesting.

I never really cared for Snake that much though. His playstyle just did not suit me at all.

If he's in, whatever, I just hope that doesn't mean, you know, no ghirahim or something lol.

I know you're probably joking. But Snake being in would have no effect whatsoever on Ghirahim's chances xP

 

[3D Player 2004]

When Little Mac was revealed, for me it was the last straw and I made up my mind that I would not get this game no matter what else.

But I'm gving this game one last chance.

But more than just a chance!

It can only be taken away in 1 way: By not including one of the characters that I came into this whole thing really wanting.

So for example, it cannot be taken away by them adding characters I don't like including but not limited to: Toon Zelda, R.O.B, Bowser Jr, etc, or by choices in playable Stages (eg. Spear Pillar returns) or by choices in moveset.

However, this means nothing if one of the characters I really want is not in, including but not limited to: Yoshi, Daisy, Meta Knight, etc.

 

[Duskull]

I highly doubt Daisy is getting in, and besides what does it matter if not every single character you want gets in. If everyone operated under that logic then probably no-one would even buy the game.

 

[3D Player 2004]

Almost all the charaters I didn't want added in Smash 4 that had a decent chance have been confirmed so I decided I'd get over it if the reverse is also true.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Why do you hate character reveals?

 

[New Super Mario]

Get over yourself.

There'll will be ONE character you'll like to play as and that's all that matters.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

And you can always entice the AI to use your loathed character while you beat the daylights out of them. Really, character reveals are always a good thing.
