The Toon Link criticism is valid. He is clearly making toon Link a clone on purpose.
Roy is dated. He would never have been a great representative plus Ike took over his flame sword. There was literally no reason to bring him back other than some Melee fans missing him, the number which is significantly lower than those who want Mewtwo back. Lucina is arguably the most important/popular character to the biggest game in the Fire Emblem franchise who will also be included in the upcoming game SMTxFE. Plus, that female representation.
Then who would go next to Pac-Man? We'd have a lot of unnecessary spacing.
I just explained it. Given that each row is 7 "boxes" long (with newcomers taking 3 each), Robin would take 3, Lucina would take 3, and Captain Falcon would take 1, making up a full row on their own. The rest of it would look exactly like it did before this reveal, so the second row would be Pac-Man, Palutena, and Ike, followed by Mii Fighters, Greninja, and Charizard, etc.
Hmm you must have a wide screen, each row for me only takes up four boxes with the newcomer counting as three. It wouldn't work for my screen, I know that much.
Well, it would look different in that case, but it would still work, as we've seen the page be reformatted before to make things fit. You would just see a newcomer and veteran on each row, so it would look like:
Continuing that pattern though would leave two veteran characters on the bottom and two empty spaces next to them, and they never had it like that before on the desktop version, they built from the bottom to the top so only the top would have empty spaces.
On my wider screen, before this update, the bottom row was Bowser and Pit with 5 empty spaces to the right. That's definitely not a problem.
What.
Ah well alright. Just works differently with screens. Still though, they could be accomodating with what looks best on all screens. All YT videos I've seen including the developer direct at last year's E3 showed the format I have, so maybe it's the same format the web site designers have and they thought it would just look bad to have Lucina's block like that. After all, this is the only situation we have had 2 newcomers and 1 veteran shown at the same time.
Maybe, maybe not. Either way, I can resize Firefox and it reformats the boxes automatically to fit with how small I make it, sliding characters around to make them all fit squarely from the top to the bottom, where there can be blank spaces. I don't think there's any one size they would try to cater to, but I don't think it really means anything.
Namco is working in the game, but who is to say they are working in the roster of the game? Namco is well known to be masters of netcode, with their games having great online features, so I am fairly sure the reason Namco was contracted by Nintendo to work in the game is to improve the online experience in Super Smash Bros, which seems to be the focus of the games, as opposed to local multiplayer, like it was in previous iterations.
No tipper, more balanced damage, short model. Probably other slight changes to physics and mechanics that we can't know about until playing her.
You seem rather agitated that she isn't an alt costume.
). It's better to have more characters!
If I'm agitated, it's because Lucina is a waste of a slot. If Sakurai had to compare Lucina to male Wii Fit Trainer and female Villager, he's pretty much admitting that Lucina is a glorified alternate gender costume.
"Her physical ablilites are identical to Marth's--it must be in her D.N.A. However, where Marth's power is concentrated in the tip of the sword, Lucina's attack strength is balanced throughout the weapon, which might make her easier to control. She's also a little bit shorter than Marth."
