MEGA MAN JOINS THE BATTLE!The Nintendo Direct @ E3 was today, and many new games were shown. But one in particular I think caught the eyes of the Japanese audiences: Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS, and for this very good reason.
Looks like Sakurai might have to prove the Blue Bomber's worth to Capcom, and I think with this he's got a very good chance of doing so. What do you guys think?

I'm not a fan of Smash Bros. at all, but hey, at least they tend to represent active franchises, and the ones that don't seem active usually get a load of attention and often a revival, too. Don't expect me to go screaming from some rooftop or anything, though. Fighting games are just not my thing.

As far as fighting games go, Super Smash Bros is very casual and accessible. (Unless you're playing Melee. No fun is allowed on Melee) I'm not really insane about Classic Mega Man, but he's definitely a fit for the Smash Bros universe. Honestly, I'm more exited about having a new, fun-looking character to play as, than I am having a Mega Man character to play as. Still waiting on Shulk to make an appearance.

Yeah! I can finally change my avatar at long last... not that I couldn't before, but I just love the way Mega looks in that trailer!

I thought somebody would have posted the Developer Direct Super Smash Bros. video at this point, but it seems nobody has. Well, here it is:
It has more info on both new Super Smash Bros. games, including MegaMan and another character that wasn't shown on the original trailer.
(The lack of a spoiler button is noticeable.)

When my pal CallOfTheShadows showed this to me, he expected me to drop a brick. I didn't. I dropped the whole freaking Stone Man.
Now my purchase of the 3DS won't go in vain. Not to mention... The Blue Bomber is back in business! Kinda. Oh well. We won this battle. But the war is far from over. We must keep fighting. Remember, Legends Never Die!
Well, then. I better scram now. The CokeBots still want me dead. Guess they haven't forgotten me. So much hate in such a tiny drink.
Bowen, OUT.

As a fan of Classic Megaman, I'd been wanting to see him in a Smash game since the original N64 game (and Volnutt, but that didn't seem probable at the time), so finally seeing him makes me so, so happy. Childhood dreams come true. And he's just as well-rounded in weapons as I hoped he'd be. He even has Rush! Also, finally seeing him and Samus in the same game makes me want to hug everything and everyone and everything else.
*Extreme fanboy screaming*

Pffftbwahahahah! And here I thought that the Animal Crossing Villager was going to be the Lethal Joke Character of SSBU.
"Let's get fired up!"

Great as this is, i think that Barrett might have made a better choice for this game. Megan doesn't have all that much going for him as far as melee combat is involved.

I personally believe that it wouldn't make sense for a Super Smash Bros. game to have a character from a cancelled game in its roster. Nobody outside of researchers will know the character. Not only that, but he would have a huge lack of moves. Though that would be irrelevant in comparison to the fact that the character doesn't exist in the official canon. Also, if Nintendo is going to get a Third Party character they will obviously go for the Main Character. They don't have enough space in the roster, time or budget for a dream team of everyone.

Megaman and the AC Villager were on my top most wanted list.
Having said that, im extremely pleased. I have to wonder now 2 things regarding the two:
-What will their involvement in the games Story mode be? If any?
-What will there alt colors/skins be?
Going to be keeping a close eye on this.

I've been thinking the same thing(s). Protoman and Bass are a given for alt colors, maybe even Roll or Duo. We'll probably a see another character or two show up as an assist trophy.

@name Pending: no please no, lol. Seriously. No. That wouldn't make sense in any way, lol. He's not even a real character as it is. Barrett certainly would be a GOOD choice for a fighting crossover, though.
And any way if they needed justification for melee moves they could just go to Marvel vs. Capcom for source material.
Especially in a Game like Super Smash Bros. where there isn't requirement for that many moves anyway. It's not like it's Tekken or something, lol. Mega Man has enough Melee and short range moves in his arsenal to go full-melee-no-long-range-projectiles if they had wanted him to.
I am excited about this. Just hope they smooth out some of his animations.

-What will there alt colors/skins be? This actually made me realize something: Megaman's suit doesn't change colour when he uses his various weapons. Maybe it's because of the alt costume thing.....Mario's clothes don't change colour when he shoots fireballs, either. Hmmmm...Anyway, I'm assuming Megaman's alt costumes will be the colours that his weapons would correspond to--red, green, yellow, etc. I've also been contemplating what his Final Smash will be like. Hope it's not another projectile attack. Would be awesome if he summoned Mecha Dragon, but I guess that wouldn't make sense canonically.
