Retro_Link Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 I'd have liked to have seen a Zelda inspired by the Skyward Sword design. Zelda looks evil here. And Link too Twilight Princess too. The Skyward Sword designs are far more cheery.
Rummy Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 I think she might have a Mewtwo feel to her. Mewtwo also has an anti-gravity effect because he moves in some sort of psycho-kinetic bubble and he also was somewhat of a lightweight. My thinking exactly! Also loving that Zelda design, she looks fierce!
Jonnas Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 My favourite character from Brawl has been reconfirmed! I love, love her new look. And looking from those screenshots, the way she moves is also different. She looks much more expressive, too. I actually wondered if the Phantom isn't just an Assist Trophy. If that's a new Special Attack, then I hope Sheik wasn't cut... All of the screenshots look great. I like the one where Link is running off with Peach. Also: "It's on like Donkey K-"
Fused King Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Really hoping for alternative costume Skyward Sword Zelda now. I got to say though, DAT GIRL GOT SASS! Edited December 26, 2013 by Fused King
S.C.G Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 We got a returning character today "Pic of the day. To celebrate the launch of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds in Japan, Zelda joins the battle!! It's great to see so many female characters this time around." Well I for one am loving the 'new' design of Zelda to me it feels like a natural progression from Twilight Princess, it could even be a hint as to where the next home console Zelda title is going, perhaps? Seeing a range of serious/angry expressions on their faces doesn't make them - Link/Zelda - seem 'evil' as such to me but it does create an interesting juxtaposition within the character roster, especially when you compare Zelda with Rosalina. The contrast is welcome, hype levels +1 well played Nintendo.
Retro_Link Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 I just think she looks more like the evil Zelda at the end of Twilight Princess. It's surprising to me they passed over Skyward Sword, I kinda thought they took inspiration from the latest Nintendo designs for Smash, like they update the Pokemon. Make the characters as familiar to the public as possible. Hope Sheik is a separate character.
Rummy Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Why would you hope Sheik is separate?! Not that I tend to use her much these days. I'm with Sam in thinking they might be moving a bit more forward(or backward, you might say) with her design. I wouldn't say she looks evil, but she certainly looks like a lady who can handle herself a bit - and tbh she bloody well is!
-Dem0- Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) My favourite character from Brawl has been reconfirmed! Woah, first time I've heard Zelda as someone's fav. Variety is the spice of life :awesome: I mean just look at this amazing roster so far! It's so "Nintendo", and there's still a whole lot more to come! Edited December 26, 2013 by -Dem0-

Fused King Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 I still have a problem with Link's face It's a bit off, a bit androgynous and it really doesn't fly with the rest of his body. It's like his head was just copy-pasted onto a different body.
Rummy Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Because Sheik is fun and Zelda isn't. Then just be Sheik all the time! Or play against me and I'll show you how fun Zelda can be :p
Jonnas Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Woah, first time I've heard Zelda as someone's fav. She was definitely my best character in Brawl. But it is true I do love her Smash Bros design. I always felt that TP brought a great design for her, but then failed to do much with it (other than Puppet Zelda), so it's good to see Smash Bros doing some justice. I still can't get over how good she looks here. Especially since Link looks so bland.
Ike Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 It's surprising to me they passed over Skyward Sword, I kinda thought they took inspiration from the latest Nintendo designs for Smash, like they update the Pokemon. Make the characters as familiar to the public as possible. Her Skyward Sword design doesn't really fit in to Smash to me so maybe that's why went for the Twilight Princess design.

I wonder if Hilda and/or Ravio will be in the 3DS Smash. The latter more likely I guess.
f00had Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 I don't know what it is but Zelda looks cooler in this game than in previous Smash Bros. It's weird that they haven't shown off any screenshots of Sheik... maybe she'll be a separate character this time? I thought Zelda was way better than Sheik in Brawl, I don't see the point in switching to Sheik when Zelda's a lot stronger.
Aneres11 Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Ok these characters are all well and good... But for the love of god where is Ness?!! Getting concerned now!
-Dem0- Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Haha, seriously don't worry about Ness! He'll be confirmed soon enough "The pic of the day that runs Monday through Friday will be on break starting Dec. 27. I'll be back on Jan. 6, so I hope everyone has a happy new year!!"
Blade Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Ok these characters are all well and good... But for the love of god where is Ness?!! Getting concerned now! Who's Ness? Is he that boy with the crappy yoyo?
Aneres11 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Who's Ness? Is he that boy with the crappy yoyo? Are you actually kiddin me Blade?! So much wrong with this post it's untrue. He / I will bitch slap you with that yoyo and show you how to play smash bros properly (decent online permitting ) - and then you'll know who ness is!
LegoMan1031 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 @Aneres11 is pretty darn good with Ness... Kicked my ass about a million times on Melee back in the day!!
Mike Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Never mind Ness - Lucas was one of my mains in Brawl. Crossing my fingers he'll be back too!
Aneres11 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Lucas was ok. But no where near as rounded as Ness is - for me anyway. The only thing Lucas has on Ness is that epic blonde quiff!
markderoos Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Lucas was ok. But no where near as rounded as Ness is - for me anyway. The only thing Lucas has on Ness is that epic blonde quiff! Lucas has some killer smash attacks and quite good aerial movement and speed. I much prefer his moveset over Ness's : peace:
Aneres11 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Lucas has some killer smash attacks and quite good aerial movement and speed. I much prefer his moveset over Ness's : peace: I guess this is what makes Smash Bros so special. How one character feels to one person can be totally different to another. For instance, I've always found ice climbers to be a complete waste of time, but in the right hands they're bloody lethal! But as a huge Ness fan, I never enjoyed using Lucas as I found it more difficult to build up damage and his smash attacks to slow to utilise on a consistent basis.
Dante Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 The designs of characters so far and I don't like the new design of FOX and 3DS version of Link looks alot better designed to the Wii U version.
