i kinda want...stafy...as a newcomb

even tho i never played any of the games it's in

and god damn jigglypuff better come back. 

fingers crossed for pacman and yoshimitsu

pacman ugh im cringing

yoshimitsu why

[Hiro]

yoshimitsu's awesome and could represent both tekken and soul calibur
pacman just feels inevitable plus idk maybe he could be cool, having such a "classic" character in a smash bros game wouldn't be too bad

If anything, we should be praying that Bandai-Namco's influences are as imperceptible as possible.

well so far it seems like they're doing a great job, if anything it looks like they're just using their fighting game knowledge to tweak/balance all the characters and satisfy the melee fans
i was kidding about the other things but i honestly wouldn't mind pacman, and i doubt they'd do much else
plus sakurai's still in charge of everything, and from everything we've seen i'm pretty sure there won't be a lot of namco stuff

The game is shaping up nicely but I'm extremely disappointed in the Wii U version's graphics.

It's just Brawl with "better" textures.

I think these are respectively an Assist Trophy and an Item.

While I'm posting screenshots, this Final Destination design is insane:

There's a lot more high-quality press images at https://www.flickr.com/photos/48280274@N02/sets/72157643678092364/

These pictures in particular reveal a lot of items, both returning from Brawl and new ones:
Special Flag
Blue Shell
Drill
Tanuki Leaf/Tail (from Mario games)
Beehive
Boomerang

Final destination inspired by Jakob Boehme

[strongbad]

can we talk about how amazing glory mode is

although it is dumb that they just fd'd stages to make them "competitive" (characters with chain grabs will be op now basically), it is a huuuuuuuge step in the right direction

she's clearly angry about having to wear bunny ears AND heels

[silvertone]

[Kalahari Inkantation]

sakurai sure had fun with that design, it seems

[ME##]

isn't her canon height 6'3" or some shit like that
