Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS

His first appearance was Sonic 3 & Knuckles.


I can get farther with Ganondrf, Captain Falcon, and DK. There's probably more but I can't remember right now.

Small update:
Miiverese post.

"Pic of the day. Pac-Man's standard special move, Bonus Fruit. As you charge this move, the bonuses will change, and all of them have different characteristics and movement patterns when thrown. The bonuses cycle in the same order as in the original game, and the charge-up period doubles once you cycle beyond the orange."

pic of day, donkeykong has become the hero of the winds and can now summon tornados from his fists

Caption:"Pic of the day. Here's Donkey Kong's third standard special attack, Storm Punch!! Thanks to the customization options, each fighter is stocked with 12 different special moves. The number of attacks is pretty appalling."

Extra post caption: "We've made it so that customization options, including special attacks, will be disabled when you're playing online in With Anyone mode. After all, we have to think about game balance, and it's crucial for anonymous players to be able to use reliable tactics against one another. When you're playing in single player, battling with friends online, or playing locally, you're free to play however you want--with or without customization."

Cool update! now show us luigis customizable moves plz

That looks like the most op move in existence. Good thing you can't run into this with randoms.

"Pic of the day. Here's Link in an outfit based on his ordinary clothes in Skyward Sword! The art style looks a little different, but the actual clothing model is still his usual tunic."

Cool. now give us dr mario pls

Well, even though it doesn't look like it, internally by Super Smash Bros. Brawl, all of the alternate colors and costumes of characters are actually completely different models instead of different textures applied to the same model. So you could say that Sakurai was actually telling the truth. Everything really is a different model, but the basic models are the same, and the textures are different. Yeah, talk about a big waste of time and space! I would agree, that really does sound like a big letdown. Sakurai didn't use his game's setup to its full potential. All he did is make modders' jobs easier. Because of the fact that all of the colors and alternate costumes for characters are completely separate models, modders can replace certain COLOR slots of characters with completely DIFFERENT characters or models. For example, Lucario has five color slots. You could go to Brawl Vault and grab a Mega Lucario model. Even though Mega Lucario's model is completely DIFFERENT than Lucario's model, because of the game's setup, you can actually replace one of Lucario alternate colors with Mega Lucario, leaving the other color slots the way they were. So, yeah, you have all of these modders creating alternate skins for characters, even though Sakurai himself didn't put in any alternate skins into Super Smash Bros. Brawl; he waited until the next game(s). In Super Smash Bros. 4, you can play as a male Wii Fit Trainer or a female one. Those are skin swaps. (By the way a skin is a different model, and a color or a costume is a different color or texture in this context.)

If Sakurai had made only ONE model per character, and had simply changed the textures of the character model depending on the color that the player selected, then less development time and space on the disc would have been taken up. If he did this, we might have had the game earlier, or maybe some of those removed Subspace Emissary cut scenes would be watchable in the game. Modders' jobs would've also been harder and the stuff that they could have been able to do would also be decreased compared to what they can do now. Interestingly, Sakurai actually DID do what I said at the begging of this paragraph to Mr. Game and Watch. In the game, there is only one Mr. Game and Watch model. His textures change depending on the color that the player chooses. Well, why didn't Sakurai do this to all of the other characters?

So, yeah, you can use full-blown new models in Super Smash Bros. Brawl by doing something that's unendorsed and unauthorized, which is modding the game.

I'm hoping for Dr. Mario (and Dr. Luigi) too but I'm more hoping about different power suit models for Samus (Fusion, Dark and normal power suit). I mean, in brawl every power suit colour uses a same model (Varia Suit model) except for the fusion suit which uses the model too except for the stains I guess. If that's true, then Samus is together with Wario, Pikachu and Jigglypuff the only characters who have different models then just different textures (in case of visual, thanks DPBOX I know that characters really use different models).


Interesting.

nabbit = stage hazard that kidnaps players

i don't think nabbit was shown at the e3 demo, maybe this means the stage was unfinished then or better, you can turn off stage hazards.

Caption:"Pic of the day. Here's Nabbit, who appears in the Mushroom Kingdom U stage. You can't see him, but Luigi is inside Nabbit's bag."

Yay! I always wanted to see Nabbit make an appearance in this game!

...You guys should see my cast list*. I have like 500**. Is that really what you want?

I'm in the process of rebooting it, so I need to reassemble everything
**It includes like 20 Touhou characters, Mienshao, and probably even the entire cast of Phantom Breaker.

so your miis physical size will change how they'll battle, sorta like in mario kart where its size affects its weight

neat, this makes them pretty customizable

Miiverse post.
Caption: "Pic of the day. Some of the physical characteristics of Miis get carried over when you use them as Mii Fighters. The smaller ones become speed fighters and the bigger ones are more akin to power fighters."

cool shit, although i think we were all expecting this sort of thing. the previous trailers really had no height/weight differences so its good to see it confirmed

What are you talking about? M.U.G.E.N.? BrawlEx?

A theoretical Smash Bros. kinda game.
