A Luma comes out with her. Sothe (SAZA) from Fire Emblem Series - because knives are banned, he attacks with a sumersalt kick instead Lakitu (JUGEMU) Group of Pegasus Knights from Fire Emblem Series - "they attack in a group or something, with a Falcon Knight" Jill Dozer ("drill girl with pink hair" but no doubt there) Birdo — Shoots eggs at an opponent. Pretty standard Assist Trophy. Oh, and he's fully rendered; it's not a 2D sprite like the Melee stage hazard. (needs confirmation) Tingle — Like the Nintendog or Mr. Resetti, Tingle doesn't inflinct any actual damage; he just stands there and does a little dance while shouting "Tingle-Tingle, Kooloo-Limpah," then disappears. I like to think of him as the Goldeen of the Assist Trophies. (needs confirmation) Raiden — I'm not a big fan of the Metal Gear Solid series, but I think this is Raiden (he's the guy with the white hair, right?) He just attacks with a sword before disappearing. Didn't seem very interesting to me. (needs confirmation) Character Specific: Pokemon Trainer speaks for his Final Smash (meaning VO) Pit speaks for his Final Smash (meaning VO) Snake's Mine is remotely triggered not proximity based and damage ranges from 10% to 20% Fox is unable to move when he shoots his blaster in the air (may be referring to being able to turn around with your neutral B in the air maybe) Kirby is stronger than he was in Melee - up air is weaker - Kirby's new "Yo-yo dash" is mentioned, but they say he doesn't use "yo-yos" as one would expect. It's called "Break Spin" and it's from Kirby Super Star.) See it here: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26661.html at 1:38 & 1:42. Via Wikia: A break-dance style spin to stun the enemy directly - Can no longer escape from his back throw anymore. - His final smash not only sucks in enemies, but it sucks in nearby items as well. And when there are alot of the a single item that are sucked in, they can come out as the same item don't quite understand what he's saying here -He was able to swallow some of the items and gain abilities from them. "The only item I got to see him suck up was the Fire Flower, which enabled Kirby to spit fire out (pretty identical to his Bowser hat in Melee)." Not all items can be swallowed for special abilities, though. (needs confirmation) Yoshi's Final Smash Fireballs EACH pack 25% of damage Wario's standard special move is a "Bite"; with it, you can "eat" an opponent and spit them out by pressing the special move button again (similar to Yoshi's Egg Lay). You can "eat" projectiles... if you eat a projectile without pressing the special move button again, Wario will eventually absorb it and recover a bit of health. You can also press the special move button to spit the projectile back out at your opponent. (needs confirmation) Items: Timer/Clock - Slows your opponents down, but it will sometimes flub like the hammer, and if that happens, YOU will slow down instead. So it's like grabbing "dynamite"! Soccer Ball - Cannot be countered or caught and it turns into fire when you kick it. Sandbag - When you beat him up other items come out Music: BGM siege warfare, "the theme of Fire" and the fiery "Bern superpower" (placeholder, will correct to real english) Zelda's "Great Bay" song from Melee is selectable Brinstar BGM, Samus's Theme, and the Metroid Ending Theme were selectable on Norfair Two songs titled "Athletic" and "Ending BGM" were selectable on the Yoshi's Island stage Stages: WarioWare Stage - It seems if you "pass" a mini-game, you heal a little bit WarioWare stage includes over 8 minigames, including Appeal!, Destroy!, Shave!, Cracker/Clacker! (?), Stay Dry!, Dodge!, Jump! & Don't Move! Misc: Apparently, the lv.9 CPUs are still weak "And before anybody attacks regarding Snake; no, he wasn't playable. There were several videos featured at Jump Festa and Snake was on one of them fighting Link. That's how some of his attack percentages were seen." Translations: From the main thread on sumabura-x.com for JumpFesta. Here's a breakdown of the posts. All are from WeeklyJumpMan Quote: 1-20: Alot of talking about things they want to see at Jump Festa and the like. 21-31: They talk about Wario & Kirby replacing Sonic & DK at the event. 32-75: (Latias & Latios are Poke Ball Pokemon), (it seems that on the WarioWare level, if you "pass" a mini-game, you heal a little bit), (Wario has his Wario Land clothes and Meta Knight has a "Kirby" color), (Animal Crossing Main Theme, Balloon Fight's Balloon Trip music, and WarioWare Main Theme are present), (when you start a match, the BGM title is displayed), (Wario-Man's bike is so fast, it's easy to take yourself out), (Wario is slow and strong), (you can now swim), (Sandbag is an item, and when you beat him up other items come out), (Pit & Pokemon Trainer talk in Japanese in the Japanese version). 76-130: (Link's Final Smash deals 67%, Ike's does 70%.), (Mario's tornado attack is his air A-down.), (Rosalina, Duster, and Sothe are Assists), (Onix, Garchomp, and Castform are Poke Balls, but the user states he's not 100% positive about this), (Poke Ball Gardevoir and Metagross are confirmed. Metagross uses "Earthquake"), (Yoshi's Final Smash Fireballs each pack 25% of damage.) (The WarioWare stage includes over 8 minigames, including "Don't Move"), (Kirby's new "Yo-yo dash" is mentioned, but they say he doesn't use "yo-yos" as one would expect. It's called "Gazer Spiral"(?) and it's from Kirby Super Star.), (Zelda's "Great Bay" song from Melee is selectable). 131-190: (Apparently, the lv.9 CPUs are still weak), (Snake's remote mine damage ranges from 10%-20%), (Brawl is slower than Melee, but smoother), (Poke Ball Regigigas is mentioned and his attack is "Crush Claw"), (Several posters state that Bowser and Kirby are far superior to their Melee versions). 190-230: (Brinstar BGM, Samus's Theme, and the Metroid Ending Theme were selectable on Norfair), (Two songs titled "Athletic" and "Ending BGM" were selectable on the Yoshi's Island stage), (Characters feel "balanced"), (Diddy's a "speed" character). 231-273: Just character discussion like "Fox is weaker", "Diddy's amazing", etc. And before anybody attacks regarding Snake; no, he wasn't playable. There were several videos featured at Jump Festa and Snake was on one of them fighting Link. That's how some of his attack percentages were seen. Be aware that these Japanese posters are still susceptible to "speculation" and maybe even a "little white lie" every now and then. Just like us Americans. I'm not 100% positive about that WarioWare stage healing gimick... but we'll see... Quote: OK, found something. Someone on there claims that Metagross, Onix, Garchomp, Castform, and Gardevoir are in balls (we knew Gardevoir already of course). They further say that Metagross hovers above the ground and stabs it, causing an earthquake. This person also reports Duster, Rosetta (Rosalina), and Sothe as ATs (as well as Lakitu and Samurai Goroh) and that Sandbag-kun is an item. Quote: Oh, there's more in the comments, no wonder I missed it. One person claims Regigigas, Metagross, and Garchomp are in balls. They say Regigigas starts out slow and gradually turns red, until it uses what they think is Crush Grip. They also say that Metagross definitely uses Earthquake. Quote: One person says "Latias appears (calls Latios)". I'm not sure what that means. I guess maybe that they're the same ball summon, and that Latias appears first, who calls Latios to come in too? Could explain why they do the same attack. Also says that Pokemon Trainer and Pit say something with their final smashes, so I guess PT has a VA after all. On the other site, I believe they said PT says Ikuzo! Sanmittai! which, if the English version uses the same as the English site does, will be "Take that! Triple Finish!" They also say Wario's techniques are slow to come out, but he's powerful. ^^^Kimahri Ronso from GameFaqs via Pieman0920^^^ Quote: Originally Posted by WeeklyJumpman The soccerball item is an attack that cannot be countered or caught and it turns into fire when you kick it.

It states that Rosalina throws out star pieces for a few seconds, and that if you pick them up, you'll recover health. And the writer also states that a Luma comes out with her.
