how would you reveal falcon

Pichu shows up as a "reveal", only for Falcon to Falcon Punch him into milky way and be the actual reveal.

Whelp, I doubt the game will have 2 characters named Robin so time to find a new Golden Sun rep for me to dillusionally wish for.

By having him Falcon Punch literally everyone.

In the entire history of the planet Earth. It would be an extremely long video.

Haha I love the imagery of Cap getting a contract to literal eliminate Fire Emblem characters from the game by punching them super hard

Bookman looks cool but we got a clone character in Lucina it seems? Oh well. I'm most disappointed in what a lovely reveal Falcon got.

We weren't shown enough of his moves, but c'mon...

So we get a female Marth? Literally another small agile blue haired character with a sword? Awesome, it's not like there's ton of other unique characters who could be put in the game or anything. At least Robin looks unique.

Oh yeah, apparently today is the 16th anniversary of F-Zero X's Japanese release, which explains why Falcon was revealed today specifically.

What I'm getting at is that with knowing less moves than you can count on one hand is that posts like this are a bit much, but, you know, jump to conclusions I guess

I think I'm in the minority, but as long as clones don't bump other characters out of the roster, I actually like clones. I didn't play Fox or Falco, but it was cool that there is a separate character with only subtle play style differences, especially with a popular play style like Fox.

So, with today's announcements we're up to 38 characters officially revealed, including 13 newcomers. I'm counting Mii Fighter three times in both cases, of course.

There are ten to twelve still-unannounced veterans with good prospects: Jigglypuff, Ness, Mr. Game & Watch, Ice Climbers, Ganondorf, Falco, Wolf, Meta Knight, ROB, Wario, maybe Lucas, and maybe Mewtwo. (Pretty sure Snake, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Roy, and Dr. Mario are out.) Additionally, Sakurai teased that this wouldn't be the last announcement of a newcomer. It would make sense for there to be one more reveal in August, before the Japanese release in September.

You would think that they would show off her different moves then instead of ones that are identical to Marth's.

Has there been another costume thats actually a different character yet?

Yeah, honestly. Even if they play exactly identically, I'd play Lucina over Marth any day.

Fire Emblem 12 also was released in Japan this day 4 years ago, so that's a reason we got Fire Emblem characters today.

LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
Can we talk about how it seems like Nintendo has made a deliberate effort to include more female characters (and/or female skins for characters)? People are bitching about Lucina without any awareness of context, that she's one of Nintendo's cooler and more popular female characters, so from that perspective it makes a lot of sense. But, no, abloo bloo bloo anime swords boring clones blah blah blah. Honestly, anyone spouting that line is being a pissy idiot.

Yeah, this latest trailer kinda sapped my excitement from me. I'm sure they're fine characters in their games but Lucina looks suspiciously cloney and the tactician(is that really his/her name?) doesn't really wow me at all. I think I'll take a break from this for a while. Never had second thoughts on Smash before. :ohdear:

How the hell does a character announcement in a game that will most likely have over 40 characters sap away your excitement? :psyduck:

In fact, this may be the dumbest loving post in the thread so far, and this thread has had plenty of dumb posts.

Really the inclusions have been so phenomenal (and there's been so many of them) that even if you didn't like these there's no reason to start crying, surely someone among the other inclusions pleased you or otherwise why are you following the news for this game.

Oh no a clone character of a sword weilder there's no originality in the inclusions at all. Adding a ninja, a build-your-own character, a puppet controlling character, a character that can collect charged projectiles, a boxer, and megaman didn't really count for anything.
