The Internet Reacts To Secret Super Smash Bros. Characters

A lot of the Smash Bros. roster might’ve leaked ahead of time, but that didn’t stop anyone from getting hyped on the secret characters found last night via Japanese streams. It makes sense: while there are a few clones and returning faces, some inclusions in the upcoming Smash game are damned amazing. The internet has reacted to that.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); If you don’t want to be spoiled on the secret characters in Smash Bros, please stop reading now! To recap/contextualize these reactions…the characters that people have found so far are Duck Hunt Dog, Dr. Mario, Wario, Falco, Ness, Bowser Jr., Mr. Game and Watch, Dark Pit, Ganondorf, and Rob and Jigglypuff. There might still be more hidden jinda44 in the game. There might not, judging from some screenshots floating around. Regardless, reactions largely fell into the following categories: OMG DUCK HUNT DOG Fuck you, Dark Pit Why are there so many clones? Where is [insert favorite character here]?

We're gonna be okay, everyone. All of this?

Had the ESRB leak not happened, some of these streamed Smash Bros. leaks would have been INSANE to see live.

I only found 3 characters I won't be using all that much. #SmashBros — TW Prime (Indie Devotee) (@theindiedevotee) September 11, 2014 https://twitter.com/embed/status/504160011342192640 Somehow, I'm both hyped and disappointed by the Smash roster. Some amazing inclusions, and some boring as hell ones — Patricia Hernandez (@xpatriciah) September 11, 2014 https://twitter.com/embed/status/510155110920781825 all these smash bros leaks are making this the best 9/11 ever — Tyler Glaiel (@TylerGlaiel) September 11, 2014 ( Via wobbufetts) (Via scifiromancemachine) (via disasterforsale) (Via Reddit) (Via Reddit) (Via the-eagle-atarian) (via neoGAF) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIjXANL6C48 What about you, how did you react to the new Smash Bros. characters or the ongoing streams of the game?
