Little Mac? lol NO! K.Rool (though he never stood a chance now that DKCR and DKCR2 didn't feature him) NOPE! Medusa? NOPE! Bowser Jr? NOPE! Ridley? NOPE? Anthony Higgs? NOPE! Issac? NOPE! Isa or Kachi? NOPE! Dixie Kong? NOPE! Krystal? NOPE! Wii Fit Female Trainer? YUP!

Why didn't they pick the GOOD Wii Fit Girl? You guys know the one...

God damn what?!

If i miss out on Midna or Krystal this time in the face of the god damn wii fit girl I will be livid.

Man, I really hope she is a playable character and not an assist. Both her and Megaman would be my go to characters.

@PatrickTheHuman
Aahhh, ok i see. I read that as she does more damage to heavier character like bowser or DK, he should have worded it differently, like how she is a better match up, rather than saying quite powerful.

But hey, I'd much rather see her than some of the MUCH worst character wishlists people hope for.

Hm, she's alright and all, but shouldn't Nintendo go through their other characters before Wii Fit Trainer Girl?

Like Mach Rider.

Wow, given the confusion here, on Smashboards, and on Facebook I'd say that Sakurai has singlehandedly created one of the most WTF moments in E3 history.

No. God no, not Krystal, it's a godsend she isn't in this game. And we don't know the full roster so quiet down.

Alright, any speculation as to what her stage might be? A giant balance board perhaps?

Agreed, I hope to god this is just an assist trophy. I mean, honestly, we have untapped franchises like Geist, Xenoblade Chronicles (which I hated, but still think it deserves SSB representation), Punch-Out, Sin and Punishment, Legendary Starfy, Advanced Wars, Harmoknight, ect. Not to mention tons of existing characters that could be put in like WaLuigi, Bowser Jr, Birdo, Shadow Link, a Goron, a Zora, Majora/Skull Kid, Demise, Agraghrim, Prince Fluff, Ridley, Dark Samus, a Space Pirate, more Pokemon, god the list goes on forever. Not to mention potential 3rd parties like Bioshock, RDR, or...... well I can't think of any on Wii :( . And we get a Wii Fit trainer........

Fuck this shovel.

That's not cool Nintendo, not even as a joke character. It's no different than Scorpion wasting a slot in Injustice. I don't know if this is some lame attempt to bring in the Wii XXX casuals, but it's such a waste it's almost like a middle finger to the Nintendo hardcore fandom. "What's that, you want Isa, Ridley, and Starfy? Here's Wii Fit trainer instead __I__ :lol: :twisted:".

Whoever made this a full fledged character sucks. They suck bad.

How? If the moveset was the same, but on a Mario or Zelda character, how does that make it any different?

@TheBitBlock

I think I've become desensitized and I expect these kinds of characters.

And since I think Villager is the best thing ever, I think I could accept this.


Why do I get excited over little details like Hal's Yellow Lantern skin in Injustice, or the Batman Beyond suit in Arkham? It's a nerd thing I guess but even if it doesn't impact the gameplay it matters a great deal to me. It may not unbalance/break the game but it damn sure takes away from it's personality and spirit. Nobody ever fantasized about the Wii Fit trainer fighting in SSB.

Villager is different. It may be a pretty generic AC character, but AC is a video game franchise the hardcore Nintendo fanbase enjoys. Wii Fit, well, isn't for the most part.

So much butthurt. :lol: She actually seems to work pretty well as a character based on her gameplay footage. Kudos to Sakurai for being so imaginative and basically making the character equivalent of a mannequin somewhat interesting.

Also, you guys got Megaman after 12 years of begging, I think Sakurai should be allowed to have a little fun.

I hope that at least she taught the other characters not to trip!

Am I the only one loving this? My roommate is ranting and raving over here and I'm jut laughing and laughing. Oh man this is great. Keep in mind that every SSB has a WTF character, so having her in wouldn't surprise me.

^^ This. After seen that video, i actually thought it was a clever inclusion to Smash Bros, since she brings a totally new gameplay style, and look fun as hell!

Seriously guys, what do you prefer? Original and interesting characters? Or copycats like Falco and Wolf? I'll take Wii Fit Trainer any time!

The video definitely makes me like her alot more. Very fun.

Any idea how she'd work herself into a possible SSE #2? :P

Well, I guess every Smash game has their WTF characters. (Jigglypuff, Game and Watch, R.O.B., now Wii Fit Trainer)

BTW, I'm excited to see an imaginative character like this.

No sense of humor confirmed for many so called Nintendo fans. I think she's great and will be a lot of fun to use when kicking the asses of many dude bro's who will feel a personal decrease in their masculinity from the defeat at her hands. Now just breathe slowly. It'll be alright.

So out of all the potential characters nintendo could have taken from their rich history in video games, they decided to choose the Wii fit trainer and give her an exercise based moveset?
.....You know what, I approve. This is awesome!

Yeah, no, Krystal deserves to be in this game. Despite your irrational bias, she is one of the most requested female characters and deserves to get in.
