Mewtwo And Lucas Confirmed As Super Smash Bros. DLC Characters

Hey look you got my Capcom in my Nintendo.

Sweet, making' the game better.

Bring back Wolf O'donnel please!

Cool, can't wait!

Now all we need is Wolf!

I'd like some new characters rather than rereleases of old ones, but I can't expect NIntendo to do anything cool ever, can I?

Majora's Mask!? Dream come true right there!

Well, I guess that's the next best thing to Mother 3.

Mew-->t<--wo.

I'm so happy to see Lucas return. He was my main in Brawl and I will certainly pay the $4-5 for him.

LUCAS YES

So happy to hear Lucas is making a return. It has made my direct

My layers are ready

Now that they're actually accepting requests, the Smash community will become League of Legends levels of unbearable... not smart, Sakurai. You should NEVER allow players to influence something as impacting as the character roster...

I am way more excited for Lucas coming back than mewtwo. So happy

omg MEWTWO AND LUCAS AMIIBO. PINCH ME IM DREAMING.

@Knux

No love for snake

I have a question, lets say you buy both the Mewtwo DLC pack for both consoles right? And you don't one of the consoles. Could you still use Mewtwo on the console you don't have but will at a later date?

I am just overhyped now, If they said one more thing I would've exploded, twice.
Mewtwo, Lucas, and new Mii outfits!!!!
Nintendo, take my money, now.

Is it April 15th yet?

After the Lucas announcement, I thought for SURE that Mother 3 was going to be announced for Virtual Console. Sigh...

Lucas is back!! I think I'm going to cry!

Also MEGAMAN X OUTFIT HOO BOY

More than just Mewtwo.
Actual DLC for Super Smash Bros. is finally going to be a thing now. Hallelujah!

Did you really have to register the games to Club Nintendo?? Wasn't connecting to Nintendo Network enough?

Weird I more excited about the Mii costumes than Mewtwo and Lucas. Smashing never looked so good.

WHOAH!!

Yay, I'm looking forward to getting Mewtwo. Not sure yet whether I'll bother wuth Lucas.

It,s the time!, for me to finally get a wii u, man...i,m that stupid dreamy state.

Lucas!!

Still no left-handed Miis...

Mewtwo and Lucas are fine and all, but what really makes me excited is that we can finally vote for characters we want (better very late then never)! My advice: Don't choose en masse for Super smash veterans, but choose new ones! I for one will vote for King Rool (and Professor Layton, if that is possible) as soon as it is possible!

https://cp.nintendo.co.jp/us/

You can also vote for one character to be the final DLC character before waiting for Super Smash Bros 5!

I voted for Rayman because I played the games, Ubisoft thanked Nintendo for publishing Rayman Legends in Japan, and Rayman and friends have a trophy. I really hope Rayman, the first western 3rd party potential fighter, jumps in before Smash 4 ends.

Don't forget the Ballot!

Now just Wolf and Ice Climbers and I'm good!

I was not ready for the Lucas announcement. I guess you can say it came out of nowhere.

Lucas was the Ness I actually enjoyed using. Very pleased to see this.

Oh, and look at all the DLC for Smash. Very interesting. Too bad Nintendo fans hate DLC because that's such a Playstation or Xbox thing to do.

@Henmii I think King K Rool would be a great choice also! Another vote from me for the crazy kroc

WOLF! PLEASE!
I won't be satisfied until I get Wolf!

@ColdingLight I think, from how I understood it, they'll give you a code for each version of Mewtwo. So in theory, if you buy the pack and get say, your 3DS at a later date you should be able to enter in a code.

@JohnshiBRPG same here, I've just reeled off a load of emotional spiel about how the Rayman leak was so amazing and how excited I was until it broke my fragile little heart. 💔💔 hope they fall for it 😉

Kinda annoying that they put Lucas in, considering nearly all of his moves are covered by Lucas now. I'd rather have seen Ice Climbers or Wolf (since he's not even a clone anyways). Hopefully we'd get unique characters in the future. I'd like to see Captain Toad

There! I voted for King Rool! Hopefully we get a second chance for voting one day, as I really would also like to vote for Professor Layton.

By the way, here's my reasoning behind King Rool that I gave Nintendo: Because he is one of the coolest villains from Nintendo games, and sorely lacking from recent DK games. Also there aren't any DK villains in Super smash so far. He is a heavier character, of wich there aren't that much in the latest Smash bros. And he has huge potential, since you could add moves from his DKC 1, 2, 3 and 64 incarnations. Namely as a king, pirate, mad professor and boxer!

Hopefully that convinces them!

Where you guys are voting?

I hope they bring back pichu!

So nobody is concerned about all the post game pay DLC? hmm, surprising.

Well my kid is happy for his, Mewtwo guess thats all that matters.

Anybody know if the update will give us our own profile save files? I'll make a new profile just for this game if need be.

Not only Ridley but one more chance to vote for goku in smash too.

@onlyonemello Yup, me too. Though the DS and N64 titles sweeten the blow a lot.

All we need is wolf.

Plz ninty.

Awesome!

So where do we cast votes at? Anyone have a link? Bayonetta or Dixie Kong should be in Smash, or Wonder Red. Come on, all three deserve to be in. AND Rayman.

@rjejr I have no problem with it as long as the characters are not already on the disc. I think having new characters as DLC helps extend a game's lifespan out and draws in players who might have not cared about a game early on because a veteran they used to play as got cut.

Let me put it this way, I like DLC characters alot better then the 40 dollar "updates" Capcom loves to do for Street Fighter. At least I can pick and choose content when I buy DLC.

The only time any DLC upsets me is when its already on disc or content that was clearly cut to have people pay later on.

But if the team is working post release on DLC, then I have no issue with it.

There are SO many characters that need to be in Smash it's not funny. I like your guys' ideas. I cast my vote for the Inkling Girl because I'd like to see some support for Nintendo's new IPs in Smash as well and I think they could do a lot of good things with one of the Inklings.

Ah DLC costumes. Just keep on going to the dark side with DLC Nintendo. And people will eat it up. Ugh.

"Previous hints"
I'm not sure stating outright that Mewtwo is coming as DLC and running a promotional offer on said DLC for those who bought and registered both versions counts as a "hint"

I requested Dillon for the ballot.
I mean they've already done a chunk of the work:

I voted for Sparkster from the Genesis Rocket Knight Adventures. Need to get some Konami & Sega love added to Smash.

I just requested King K. Rool from the Donkey Kong franchise in my ballot.
I hope he gets in.

.... Of all the cut characters from previous Smashes, they bring back possibly my most hated of both old and active ones, Lucas. Thanks, Nintendo. At least I'm excited for Mewtwo.

@FromKuribosShoe Rocket Knight Adventures is still one of my top games. Would be great to see Sparkster get some love.

@Caryslan Overall I've been happy with how Nintendo has handled DLC. The first pack for MK8 being an obvious example and it seems people are happy with what they've done with Hyrule Warriors.

Good to have you on board, Lucas. It's been a long-time coming. Ness has been bored without you. x3

I went to the Smash site and voted for Alex Roivas because, dammit, best option ever. Bring in the Ancients for her Final Smash attack--that could not be cooler.

@rjejr is it really that surprising? Lol How I feel about DLC is this. If I think I'll get enjoyment out of it, I'll buy it. If not I'll pass. There's a ton of DLC I've never touched, personally. The list if DLC I bought is very small, maybe about a dozen games since it's inception. Definitely less than 20. Three of them are Batman games. Most of them are fighting games. Two of them are Nintendo first party games.

@JaxonH https://cp.nintendo.co.jp/us/

Nintendo gets with the times and adds extra (optional) dlc to major franchises that increases playtime and character options for (often) reasonable prices and still some use it as a stick to beat them over the head with.

I'm honestly not sure who I will vote for. The third-party characters that I want like Simon Belmont, Bomberman, and Ryu from Ninja Gaiden really don't have a chance of getting in, I want some veterans like Wolf back, but not sure if I want to spend a vote on another veteran.

So, I might go for someone like King K. Rool or Dixie. Donkey Kong needs more reps.

I'll have to think about this one though.

gives Lucas a hand shake Welcome to the Hype Train, the SSB4 House Party is to the right, Ness saved a seat for you.

I'm still spinning from the thought of being able to vote in the ballot for Isaac from Golden Sun. That game was such a huge part of my childhood and Isaac has huge moveset potential, how on earth do I condense that into 500 characters or less?

I voted for Bayonetta even though both Bayonetta & Jeanne would be awesome.

I voted for Tails, Knuckles, Bayonetta and Wonder Red. Also it'll never happen, but I voted for this guy. My long time dream character:

@Henmii
I just voted for the cruel King!

Maybe we'll get to see him exchange punches with Little Mac someday.

The DLC is very well priced. Good job Nintendo!

I voted for Knuckles. Though, if they do put him in, I pray they use the old version of knuckles, not the new one.

Opens up the game to all the possibilities! The updates are great, I'm not crazy about the pricing structure tho

I'm unbelievably happy about the return of Lucas and Mewtwo, personally, I used my vote in the ballot for Pulseman.

I'm unbelievably happy about the return of Lucas and Mewtwo, personally, I used my vote in the ballot for Pulseman.

It confuses me why people don't want brand new characters. Voting for old characters is boring and nothing new. Use your imagination.

YES!

I wonder if we'll get some Stages & other stuff too.

Wonder Black!, Wonder Blue, Wonder Red, Splatoon

Actually, Wonder pink would work well too

Maybe there is still hope for the Ice Climbers...

(I voted for Professor Layton though)

Two awesome characters! Super hyped! Can't wait for Lucas especially! 😄

Cool, but I probably won't be using Lucas very much. Never really used him in Brawl, but still cool. Still no Mother 3 for VC though?

I know it's a long shot, but I voted for Shadow the Hedgehog.

My brother is so happy Lucas is returning. He was such a big fan of Lucas back in Brawl.
Also, I voted for Professor Layton and Luke. They just need a chance!

Nice to see him back.

@Quorthon I wonder, is that the reason ninty fans hate DLC?

From what I have read here, people complain that they hate paying more for somehting that was supposed to be from the beginning. (or supposed disc locked content)

@Quorthon : I just voted for Alex too. About time they recognize their most original GameCube game.

"You may recognize Lucas as a character from Mother 3, the sequel to Earthbound that was unreleased in the west. Well, we heard the fans, and... ....he's going to be released as a smash bros character!"

Seeing Lucas returning makes me want New Pork City to return...
Oh how I praise thee, Master Porky!

Bayonetta is the only correct vote.

@Jetset I'm aware of the reason, however I've been hoping for them to become available for New 3DS since it is more powerful.

@Sir_JBizzle - I'm not surprised they're doing it, just surprised nobody complained. I was 10 posts to fast, see XCX at #57, I expected a bunch more of those.

I can dress up as Dunban... YES.

Happy to see Lucas return as well as Mewtwo.

Now who to vote for...

Paid DLC characters eh?
Well now I'm glad I held out on buying this game. I can i no shape or form suport this.

Well, I'm somewhat disappointed that Mewtwo's moveset wasn't overhauled more than it was, but at least it seems it has a new barrier-like move (Light Screen?) to replace its lame flipping (literally, not a profanity substitute) special from Melee, and there should be some decent options available among its custom moves.

Anyway, I voted for Ivysaur. It could use something like Leech Seed or Seed Bomb for its Down Special and fire off a huge Solar Beam for its Final Smash. The tricky part, though, would be reworking its Up Special so it would no longer rely solely on a tether recovery as they did with Zero Suit Samus and Olimar.

Monkey D Luffy. Guys if we can get enough people to agree on Luffy he will show up. for those who don't know who he is you must look him up. He could have the perfect set of moves, super, outfits, and would fit perfectly. the more votes the better the chances! and if you think about it please spread this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=825uGUYUoh8

I haven't heard people screaming for Lucas as much as Wolf and Ice Climbers. I'm happy that this appears to be the first Western public announcement of Mother 3 'the sequel to Earthbound'. This means we're one step closer to getting the game IMO.

Bring Bayonetta to Smash! #Bayo4Smash!!

@Pod Well you shouldn't be that happy considering the fact that this game is fuc*ing awesome! You don't even need to buy the DLC since it's nothing too important.

Let me just speak as a Mother 3 fan (live in Japan and speak Japanese and own an actual copy of the game), I'm absolutely elated and I couldn't be happier. Its an amazing game and I'm glad it has more recognition in the overall Nintendo canon. Even if you don't like Lucas, be happy for those that do.

Why should somebody buy those Link outfits if the real Link is already in the game?

@Randomname19 The same reason to use a Link suit on your mii In Mk8 I'd guess.

LUCAS

@BulbasaurusRex That thing where mewtwo twirls around the fighters? Heh, That's been like that since melee.

I'm going way out on a limb, but...
If Lucas can make it, and Mother 3 never left Japan, Same as Roy made it but his Fire Emblem game didn't, and even the character that is a trophy (that almost became a character from Mysterious Castle game) can appear before us, then I nominate Western release only, Mike Jones of StarTropics. PLEASE DO IT SAKURAI and I can rest peacefully in my grave one day

@CAM290 you're my favorite right now!
Wofl is very much needed!!!

Toon Sheik would be cool even tho shes not a real character in the LOZ series but It would be cool because they already have regular sheik and a toon sheik ambiio would be sooo awesome
