You'll be Able to Play as the Girl Villager in Super Smash Bros.

Good to know

"Please understand. We’re coming for your souls."

Pretty cool - makes me wish that Dixie-Kong is a Diddy alternative skin - it could work!

@erv Please undastand.
@warbeard I'm guessing she'll not be a skin because she's one of the most likely to be a new character.

I'm very happy about this, I'll probably use the female villager more often.

@Warbeard
But the jetpack.

Awesome! I'm glad the villager has some more variety now. Looking forward to burying people in a waste deep grave with that yellow shirted dude.

Awesome. I'll probably stick with default Villager, but not offering female skins would have run against the philosophy of Animal Crossing.

The Villager in the yellow shirt... He wants our souls...

Maybe there will be one with orange hair and a purple shirt. I can already see what that would look like.....

They look like voodoo dolls come to life.....blink dammit!

Lucina skin for Marth, come on Sakurai make it happen!

Nice! XD

Next Pink Gold Peach!

I was hoping for this to be confirmed as I asked myself about a female skin for the Villager when they showed off Male Wii Fit Trainer. Looks like I have even more purpose to play as the Villager.

The boy second to the left is my exact villager from ACNL so I'll be playing as him!

Technically it could just be a month away if we're lucky

@Warbeard I rather she be playable.

Now we just need Dixie and K. Rool to be announced and I can forget about those "two" useless characters.

Super Smash Bros. has never had so many female characters. Good.
However, did you wonder what would happen with other characters' alternate costumes? What about, say... Sonic and MegaMan?!
Now that you've passed out, my job here is done.
[flies away]

@erv *"Prease"

My wife and I are overjoyed that Smash bros. will have gender equality in characters. This is awesome so she can play as her character model in animal crossing. Thank you Nintendo!

I like the green dressed girl's style, I'll probably be switching between her and the original villager. I don't like football tees!

Awesome. My daughter recently picked up Animal Crossing New Leaf and really enjoys it. I'll be curious to see if this character choice proves a gateway for her playing Smash Bros., but I doubt it given her reaction to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

"Sakurai-san"

why would you do this?

What's with making fun of Iwata's accent? Learning another language ain't that easy, you know?

I like this. Please have SS Zelda as a skin for Zelda. Pls!!!

@AlexSora89 Well the other Megamans might well be possible, since their skins are already included for the Final Smash, but I'd be worried about their hit boxes. Or were you suggesting Roll, Bass and Protoman? Which might well be possible, but at least one of those will be a support trophy I'd imagine… I can't remember, does Megaman swap colours when he uses different weapons? If not, then Different Weapon Megamans might be a more likely alternative.
As for Sonic… Sonic Boom Sonic might be an interesting inclusion, as might Shadow and Metal Sonic, but others like Amy, Knunkles and Sliver, have move sets that are too different from Sonic, so I can't see them working.

Bloomers OP!

@Kro
Perhaps because they respect him? Unlike most of the underage brats on Miiverse that can't even spell his name right.

LOL how sweet

@Swiket That would be terrifying

That turnip shirt girl looks like the one for me . She's happy

The tree chopping move is probably meant for doubles.

@RedYoshi999 Why on earth would you refer to someone as "Sakurai-san" in English just because he's Japanese?

@ChessboardMan Yes, he does swap colors with different weapons, but it wouldn't make sense for THAT to be the different skin for him. Those color swaps would just be the regular color changes for teams and such. No, the alternate skins are more unique than that. So my guess is a Protoman skin since they function similarly. Or maybe helmetless Megaman.

I think that this is a smart move for nintendo, it gives the game a bit more character and also appeals to the female gamers out there. Great!

Perhaps there will be an NFP figure for the villager, so you can upload it straight into Smash from AC:NL...

@TeeJay well obviously if he's already swapping colours to use different weapons, then that isn't a option for what they can use for different player skins, that's what I was saying, that it would only be a possibility if he Didn't change colours to use weapons.

Considering all the GB MM titles coming to the VC at the moment, I'd be surprised if we don't see GB Megaman.

@Swiket Waeach and Waisy confirmed for a future game…

@Ichiban if you expect Static images to blink, either you're crazy or a wizard.
See a doctor in either case, as you might be mistaken if you believe the latter.

@ChessboardMan Oh was that question referring to Megaman in Smash? Sorry I thought you meant in his games in general. In Smash he'll be using a moveset based on pervious robot masters he's defeated, so he will stay his usual blue color. Otherwise he'd be changing colors by the second!

So that's why I say either Protoman or Helmetless Megaman would be logical alternate skins for him, since his color changes will be reserved for regular team colors and maybe a couple other colors like Dark Megaman or something.

@Swiket How about Girl Gold Yellow Brass Shiny Sapphire Diamond Wario?

Ahwww yiss. I like the one on the far left.

@Bulbousaur
A thousand times this! I'm hoping awakening gets some love in some form and Lucina was my personal favourtie character + we haven't had a female Fire Emblem Character be playable yet! Sort it out Sakarai ; )

Uh oh, now we're gonna read criticisms that Smash Bros. has no gay characters.

@TeeJay have you seen previous Smash games? They've previously had no quarrel with simple palette swaps for most characters, and using a strange coloured sheen to represent teams… I don't think they're going to have entirely different skins as the norm for player "skins", I think the villager and fit trainers are more the exceptions than the rule.

@ChessboardMan I think it's been pretty much widely accepted at this point that they're making an effort to give every character at least one alternate skin this time around. Remember that Little Mac also has that grid design for his alternate skin.

For once I think the male option in a Japanese developed game is more visually appealing than the female option.

@DarkKirby I'm a little disappointed that the Villager design is not from New Leaf. I think the villagers appearance, both male and female, is superior is New Leaf compared to past entries.

@brewsky Same here. I was a bit mystified that they didn't use the New Leaf character style.

@Giygas_95 I think they were having the mindset of using the first versions of them. Just like how they made megaman, they used the villagers. Probably in the next Smash Bros, if villager is back, they will use their newer versions.

Finally confirmed this! I have been wanting it confirmed since the villager announcement and basically deemed it obvious after the male wii fit trainer was introduced.

@Ttimer And perhaps Mega Man X will be playable in the next one too. Oh, oh! and Zero too! I can dream.

I'll still be playing as the original k̶i̶l̶l̶e̶r̶ ̶ villager.

I...honestly think those are some pretty ugly skins. I'll be playing as Killager.

Omg send help they're going to kill us all.

Yes. If im correct, the girl villager uses the same moveset.
This is what nintendo should have done since brawl.
Project M does this, and they managed to sneak in Dr. Mario, as an alternate custom from mario (with electricity and all)
Same for other special models.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't remember how many color/costume swaps per character in Brawl, but either way I'll be the 2nd girl (brown haired if I must really get specific). Look close enough to my character in New Leaf!

I'm glad to see that they're thinking beyond recolors this time around, alternate skins have always felt like such a missed opportunity in the Smash Bros. series.

Hurray for the facially-similar villager I got in AC:NL making it in to Brawl! Now to do something about that hair...

Dem constumes. I love them they are a amazing set of clothing I would not mind using.

How fitting that the female character on the end is wearing the "turnip dress". As someone who has over 265 hours in New Leaf (at last count), I'm majorly excited for The Villager to be included in Brawl. I actually just found my old Wild World cartridge last night! Oh how I wish I didn't trade in City Folk.

Now imagine RE4 gameplay, with these villagers instead of the -I believe it was- gonado's. Pitchfork- and chainsaw wielding, axe-throwing, and bullet-catching-and-putting-in-the-pocket-for-later-use...

@Jetset You don't undastand. Please undastand.

@Bulbousaur I second your statement on Lucina.

My alternate costumes choices
-Samus military outfit and haircut from Other M for ZZS
-Rosalina's fire flower look from 3D World with ponytail
-Lucina as an alternate choice from Marth
-Samus fusion suit
-Mario characters sports outfit (from strikers, and tennis)
-Mario with a cape (Super Mario World)
-Samus' orange outfit from Zero mission's result screen for ZSS
-Samus' white training outfit from Fusion result screen (Japan) for ZSS
-Fox's look from Star Fox assault (to be honest his best so far. Looks pretty mature for the character's age and experience)
-Little mac's pink training suit
-Doc Louis suit for Little Mac

Yaaay! The girl's hair sucks tho. Why no new leaf models nuuu

Why I had never thought of Lucina as alternate skin for Marth? That would be so rad! Wow, I hope they do that (+ add Chrom)

@ChessboardMan hahahaha!
But yeah, dont ruin my fun

@Jetset you have yet to undastand

@Jetset Lesson 1

I've thought about alternative costumes like this since brawl, good to see they're finally doing it.
And to whoever mentioned Lucina costume for Marth, HellzYeah!
