Some of you may know this already, but there may be some that do not: I just wanted to tell that.....

There is a fourth Super Smash Brothers game on its way!

Unlike the other 3 previous game this one has two different versions: one is for the 3ds and the other is for the Wii U.

Naturally there will be differences on between the two:

One: the graphics.
This is an image from the 3ds version:
This one is from the Wii U version:

Two: The Stages will vary according to which one you get: the 3DS having stages from handheld games, whilst the Wii U having stages from console games.

The 3ds will have some form of Character Customization.
The two versions will not have cross-platform play due to the different stages in each version but the customizable characters function can be transferred over to the other version and back.

The newest Fighters to the series with the links going to their trailers, and next to them their names in a spoiler tag.

Returning to fight (currently - will be updated):
Pikachu, Link, Mario,Donkey Kong, Pit, Fox, Kirby, Samus & Bowser

I hope/wish Snake will still be in the game. I mean, there's MGS3D, right? That gives me a faint hope.

Yes, Crossfire there is a Metal Gear Solid for the 3DS: Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3DS.
Little updates:
The tripping mechanic in Brawl has been removed.
The game's speed and mechanics will be a balance of Brawl & Melee
The reason Sakurai has outlined the fighters in the 3DS version is so that they can be seen easier from far away.

Since veterans weren't in spoiler tags in the original post, I'm gonna guess it's okay to reveal those? =P

Anyhow, Olimar was confirmed to be returning a few days ago.

Makes sense, what with all the Pikmin 3 hype.. xD

Never really cared much for Olimar in SSBB.
PIT <3 >u<
Still twilight princess Link, eh? Guess there's not much of a difference though XD (but if he doesn't turn into a wolf this time...*raises fist*)

I thought it'd be OK, but if you would like me to put a spoiler tag on it, I will.

Masaru you beat me to it, I was going to mention Olimar just now.
Also it seems there could be exclusive characters as I cannot find a 3DS image of Olimar....

Sorry for not updating as much as I should.

From what I remember from various interviews with Sakurai, characters will be the same across both versions, but they'll have different stages, and some vague comments about being able to customize a character.. no one has any idea what it means yet, though.

Masaru, that is also what I have read too, about characters being in both versions, the stages depending on which version you have and customising characters.
It could be they'll put the 3ds version pictures of Olimar up later, as I still can't find any.
I'm also happy Pit has returned.

For those of you that have the latest Fire Emblem game, Fire Emblem Awakening, there is no word on any returning characters will be back for another fight (such as Marth, Roy or Ike) or any new characters being confirmed.
However there is a stage, 'Arena Ferox', that strongly appears to be based on the Regna Ferox arena from Awakening.


In regards to Roy as to if he will be back, his inclusion in Melee was to promote his game in Japan. However with the most of the DLCs, the Xenologues, in Awakening consisting of previous Fire Emblem lords fighting each other for one reason or another, Roy and Ike included, it is possible Roy could be back....Ike may come back, although he replaced Roy for Brawl. Fire Emblem even made a reference to the Smash series with one of the 3 DLCs being called 'Smash brethren' the first two even have SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Roy's army fighting Ike's army and Micaiah and Sothe with their team take to the battlefield having teamed up with Ike..
Although if Fire Emblem characters do return, I'm guessing Marth would have to be back as he is the first Lord of the first game, Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi (ファイアーエムブレム　暗黒竜と光の剣 Fire Emblem: The Dark Dragon and Sword of Light, titled Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragons and Blade of Light of the series in Super Smash Bros Brawl. The game got remade and released on the DS titled as 'Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon'. Now that Marth's game has been released in English....I wonder who will be his English voice actor? (same question applies to Roy if he makes it back).

Moving on:

The stages we have so far.

I wish Roy would come back >.< he was my favorite character in melee ;w;

This. He was my favourite too.

Luigi confirmed for returning today.. not that it's very surprising, lol.

There also appears to be a SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Pilotwings stage confirmed; this pic is from Sakurai's daily update thing: (don't click if you really care about stage spoilers I guess)

Pretty neat stuff but I want to know more newcomers xD
..although I do hope some of my Brawl mains return as well.

Panda4christ:3 wrote:I wish Roy would come back >.< he was my favorite character in melee ;w;

Roy's okay, if it were Roy Mustang that would be great

I like Fire Emblem characters though, so I'd want him back, but if I could choose others, I'd choose Hector or Lyn, they'd be sweet.

Some old faces have returned.

SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Princess peach is back for another round royally smashing.
SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Everyone's beloved high-speed blue hedgehog Sonic, is back.
SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Fans can welcome back the familiar cell-shaded image of Toon Link

Yeah, no real surprises there.. I got lazy with posting them xD and then Sakurai decides to reveal a bunch in a row!

I think we can reasonably anticipate another Pokemon being revealed in tandem with the release of X/Y next week or so. I really want to see Lucario come back, but we'll see. xD

A little something for the Pokémon fans.
There's a picture of a Pikachu....and the back of the head of Xerneas the legendary Pokemon from Pokemon X
Will it become a Pokeball? Or will it be apart of a stage?

SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Sonic... not surprising, but I have no affinity towards the name. Snaaaaake, where art thou?

Crossfire wrote:Snaaaaake, where art thou?

Didn't you hear? They replaced him with Sousuke Sagara, since he was unanimously voted more awesome than Snake.

That would be great! I would get the game just to play as Sousuke

Full Metal Panic has shown up on Nintendo consoles a few times through the portable Super Robot Wars games, but so have Gundam, Mazinger, Dancougar... Don't hold your breath.(That is, if you were serious in the first place...)

I'm being completely serious! Sousuke would make all the difference in the world. However, I already knew that and wasn't really expecting him to be in there. However, I didn't know about Super Robot Wars, I'll look into that.

Another fighter has returned and this one is unsurprising cause we already have Mario.
Luigi. Is. Back.

"Kyou mo ikinobiru koto ga dekita"「今日も生き延びることが出来た。」 - "I have survived today."

First we had Arena Ferox...now we have someone from the Fire Emblem series.



The Prince of Altea returns!



~and so does the Link vs Marth fights.~




on the 3DS version it looks like he could have come straight out of Fire Emblem Awakening!


Which could be true in a way because SPOILER: Highlight text to read: Marth is a Spot Pass Character and a DLC character for Awakening, so yes you can have him fight in your army.

Now two questions remain:
1) who will voice Marth in English? Now that we have finally have Fire Emblem 1: Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi (Dragon of Darkness and Sword of Light), outside Japan, in the form: Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon.
2) Who will be the other Lord aside from him to join the arena?



Massive Fire Emblem fan over here~
Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to go play Shadow Dragon

Aw yeah, my favourite character to use in Melee is back. This pleases me.

SPOILER: Highlight text to read: But it's no substitute for SNAAAAAAAAKE.

Um...I hope it was OK that I double posted, but if everyone wants I can put Marth in the announcement of Luigi post I made...sorry!

Being a large Fire Emblem fan I am happy that he came back too, although seeing as he is the first Lord and "father" of the Fire Emblem series his return is inevitable

Also found this amusing image as one of the screenshots.

I know it's too much to hope for, but I kind of wish a non-protagonist Fire Emblem character would appear. *shrug* But Marth is cool too. Though I'll be pretty bummed if Ike doesn't join him. (Wouldn't it be awesome if we had Ephraim?)

Yes! Ephraim would be awesome We also need Seth.

and hector ;-;

I agree with the both of you, having Hector and possibly Ephraim - or one who is not a "lord" character (for non FE-players: that is if that character - the Lord - dies then its game over although not all Lord characters are of nobility or royalty - for example Ike, although he does become one briefly).

Instead of just being a Trophy, Queen Elincia, (her Pegasus could be a FInal Smash or something) could be another candidate or even Micaiah - although I can see Micaiah turning out to fight in a similar manner to Princess Zelda.

FE 2: Alm would bring another blade to the arena.
Celica, like Alm, is another "Lord" character however she uses magic and swords so things could get interesting.

Those are just my thoughts.

About a month late on commenting on the Marth announcement, but..

I thought for *sure* that the next character was going to be a Pokemon on account of X and Y being released relatively close to that announcement, lol..
I want Lucario to return so badly.. even though it's entirely possible they could cut him x_x; He's still pretty popular though so I guess there's a decent chance.
