SUPEEEEEER SMAAAAAAAAAASH BROTHEEEEEERS!!!!!!!!!Hey, y’all. It’s about that time again. Quite possibly Nintendo’s most competitive and hype franchise of all time, SSB, is making its 4th installment be known on not one…but TWO consoles: the Wii U and 3DS. Once more, some of our favorite video game stars throw down to decide who the best fighter is. For those of you not in the know, I’ll let TV Tropes give you a recap: “Remember all those times when, as a kid, you put all your Transformers and G.I. Joe and Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys together and made them fight (and you know you did)? Super Smash Bros. takes that idea and runs with it. Characters from Nintendo's large stable of games, from Mario and Pikachu to Link and Samus Aran, face off in a four-player fight to the finish. Unlike other games, however, the Smash Bros. series doesn't leave it at that. Several stages have platforms, bringing the carnage to multiple levels, while others have native dangers, such as rising acid and random airstrikes. In addition, various weapons will appear randomly on the field, from barrels and hammers from Donkey Kong, to beam swords, Starmans, the old SNES Super Scope, and even Poké Balls, which of course, release Pokémon to help you out. Instead of simply trying to inflict damage, players are instead attempting to knock their opponents off the stage (hence the "Smash" in the title), either by forcing them off the sides or just smacking them higher and higher until they eventually go sailing off as a twinkle in the sky, or, more humorously, bouncing off the camera.” Anyway, here are the characters already confirmed for the fray ( yellow denotes a newcomer, red denotes a third-party addition, blue denotes a fully-customizable character, cyan denotes a character that was once part of a team but now is a standalone, and green denotes a character available via future download): Bowser (Mario) Bowser Jr. (Mario)Captain Falcon (F-Zero) Charizard (Pokémon)Dark Pit (Kid Icarus)Diddy Kong (Donkey Kong) Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong) Duck Hunt Duo (Duck Hunt)Falco Lombardi (Star Fox) Fox McCloud (Star Fox) King Dedede (Kirby) Ganondorf (The Legend of Zelda) Greninja (Pokémon)Ike (Fire Emblem) Jigglypuff (Pokémon) Kirby (Kirby) Link (The Legend of Zelda) Little Mac (Punch-Out!!)Lucario (Pokémon) Lucina (Fire Emblem)Luigi (Mario) Mario (Mario) Marth (Fire Emblem) Mega Man (Mega Man)Meta Knight (Kirby) Mewtwo (Pokémon)Mii Brawler (Super Smash Bros.)Mii Swordfighter (Super Smash Bros.)Mii Gunner (Super Smash Bros.)Mr. Game & Watch (Game & Watch) Ness (EarthBound) Olimar (Pikmin) Pac-Man (Pac-Man)Palutena (Kid Icarus)Peach (Mario) Pikachu (Pokémon) Pit (Kid Icarus) R.O.B. (Gyromite) Robin (Fire Emblem)Rosalina & Luma (Mario)Samus Aran (Metroid) Sheik (The Legend of Zelda)Shulk (Xeno)Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog)Toon Link (The Legend of Zelda) Villager (Animal Crossing)Wario (Wario) Wii Fit Trainer (Wii Fit)Yoshi (Yoshi) Zelda (The Legend of Zelda) Zero Suit Samus (Metroid)What are you thoughts on this game? Or of the rest of the series? Or of the whole enchilada?

As a competitive Smash player, I very much can't wait for it to come out.
I main Ness, but since they're going to make this game more 'tournament' styled, I may have to get a new main. Was thinking about Rosalina & Luma, as they seem to have a 'ness-ish' feeling to them from their trailers.
Overall, Brawl was my favorite. I love Melee, and that one seems to be the favorite from the majority of smash players, but I loved Brawl a bit more. Can't wait to see what they do with this one.

The last tidbit about Brawl over Melee gets a win in my book, man. Sure, Melee was faster and more tourney friendly...but since I hardly play at tournaments, I'm looking for something a little bit more...chaotic.
My favorite matches are 4-ways with nothing but Poke Balls! As for favorite, I'll go with the balanced Mario. I'ved played with everyone at least once, but the red plumber holds a special place in my heart.

I've never played any Smash Bros game, like, ever. However, this got me kinda pumped:

Little Mac. Oh yes, that one had me screaming my head off in ecstasy.
The punch is mightier than the sword, indeed.

As little as I care about Little Mac, that trailer was very cool. I'm curious to see who else gets in; I kind of want Ridley to stay out just to shut up all those kids on Smash Boards.

Metroid (among other involved series) deserves another representative. If not Ridley, then maybe a Chozo? I dunno.

Alright! It's been quite I while since I updated this ol' thing, but here. I took the liberty of listing the confirmed 52 characters. If you're already playing the 3DS version which came out October 3rd, this might not come to a surprise.
Any more opinions out there?

Aaaand Ridley is coming, but as a stage boss in new Metroid stage Pyrosphere. "In battle, Ridley will appear and attack players. Unlike other stage bosses, however, damaging Ridley enough will cause him to fight alongside the fighter. Damaging him enough after he joins a player's side will KO him, adding another point to the player's KO total, even if he is on the player's side. Ridley may gather energy under the ledge, transforming him into Meta Ridley."

Yeah! I saw that and think it's a great way to utilize the character. As great of a series as Metroid is, it doesn't warrant any new characters, nor do any of the characters from the series lend themselves to being playable. Part of the reason Metroid is so great and atmospheric is because Samus is on her own, y'know?

That's why I support the decision of splitting Sammy up into her armored and unarmored forms.

Don't forget our common threads in OA though Savant, heh? By the way, the theme song for Little Mac is just amazing. I wish I could play this, but unfortunately I'm definitely not planning on getting any console which can play it.
