CEST ist Central Europe, right?

oh he comes out on 14th

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT"S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

Oh dear Arceus.....I deeply fear the Miiverse stage...

So happy!

If Lucas lacks custom specials & a normal Palutena's Guidance then I hope that we get another custom specials glitch & someone finds the file for Lucas's Palutena's Guidance & + I won't get him!

BTW, since people are talking about DLC characters they want... GIMME TAILS!!!!!

THE PRODIGAL SMASH SON RETURNS! NO, I'm not talking about Lucas. I'm talkin' bout' dad, silly.

AGH MY CHILD IS BACK

Really!? I expected him to be announced at E3.This is kinda random announcing him now, but I LOVE IT!

I can't wait for the K.K. Slider costume!

At least I have something to do because I can't go to E3.

Yay ^-^ thanks so much Sakurai!!!!! I am gonna try and buy him when he is out!!!!!

Dangit, now I need another eShop card. Prolly have to buy this one myself. So happy to hear that Lucas is finally almost here! Guess the Splatoon costumes mean the Inklings won't be DLC...disappointing.

Something awoke inside Lucas! Lucas learned Bread 'n Butter α!

Thank you for not waiting until E3 to announce his release date.

I LOVEZ YOU THANKZ OMG #SMASH BROS.

Sakurai, could you please add Isaac from Golden Sun as a playable character? I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

SOO HYPE!!! Can't wait for lucas!! #Mother_Brothers

Long time no see? What, are you every Sonic character ever?

SAKURAI! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Why can't we get a chance to get Lucas for free like we did for Mewtwo? *sigh* When we 'll get new stages on the 3DS version for free?

THANK YOU! :D I LOVE YOU!

Hey Sakurai, I am so excited for the Lucas DlC but could you add Dixie, Banjo, or Rayman to Smash?

finally the miiverse stage!!!!

Yaaaaaa

Lucas was a very kind boy and my favorite character. I'm excited about the Miiverse stage included in the next upcoming update

Awesome! I can't wait to play as Lucas! Wasn't too excited about Mewtwo but I will be definately be playing with Lucas more. Played with him a lot in Brawl so I'm so hyped! Nice to see the Miiverse stage finally coming, interesting.

How about the return of Ice Climbers & Solid Snake from konami's metal gear?

yes!!! now all we need is roy! hopefully he can unseal his fate at e3, the fire emblem concert, or once the ballot is over!!

Hi Mr. Sakurai!! Thanks again for this amazing game. Its definitely one of my all-time Favorite Games.

Oh WOW! Lucas comes out on my birthday! Also, finally the Miiverse stage is finished! I wonder what posts they used?

Sweet

YAY!!!! Great to see ya again Sakurai! I cant wait!! Have a smashing day!!

Thank you Sakurai for all your hard work and for bringing back Lucas!

I really like Lucas, he's more intresting than Ness (yes i said it). Plus he is more combat orientated. Plus that splatoon dlc coustume will make some cool matches. And the Miiverse stage is going to be awsome.

Bring back Squirtle!

Someone please reply, who is Lucas and how powerful is he?

Thank you for not waiting untill E3 to announce this! (Cries tears of joy.)

Right as I almost finished my custom Nucas! THE HYPE IS REEEEAAAAALLL!!!

The 2 characters I want in Smash is Tails and Wolf. The reason why I want Wolf is because he has the best taunt and could rage Link spammers. "What's the matter, scared?" I want Tails in because Sonic needs a sidekick like Mario!

put rayman please

((*Gasps* *Faints* *Gets up* OMG. My day has been made. Thank you. //onlyonequestionleft;willhisfinalsmashbepklove?XDprobablynotXDD// Thank you again, Mr. Sakurai.))

thank you for every thing you did!i cant thank you enough!!!

Hype is way too real.

YAY!

Please add the Inklings as DLC characters too :D Would be nice to see new characters added rather than old ones tbh.

@Erob, Lucas is a character from the Earth Bound series in a Japan- only game called Mother 3. Lucas was in Brawl and is a clone of Ness. If you want more info Google him.

Plz Sakurai plz put in Tails or Ridley. Plz put in one of them.

Lucas

SAKURAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Oh boy, the Miiverse stage will be filled with memes and inside jokes only a few cliques would get if it's not filtered. Add King K. Rool

The Return of Sakarai

i dont care about lucas returning,just you,sakurai

'Oh, great! Another Mario game!' - No main series Mario game. 'What about Starfox!?' - Obvious Starfox gameplay at the end of the Digital Event. ...And at long last, 'Give us Mother 3!!!' - Lucas returns as Smash DLC by POPULAR DEMAND! Nintendo is self aware, guys. THEY KNOW!

SWEET! Lucas is coming out on the 14!

Please add Isaac (Golden Sun) Chibi–Robo Advance Wars Rep

The miiverse stage is only going to be available for the 3DS?!

:%

Thank for Lucas, but you must make more amiibo, I actually can't find Pac-man amiibo...

The day Sakurai stops being amazing is the day I pass up pizza.

I hype let's go! but we have to wait.

I know we already have alot of pokemon but could you add Genesect as a fighter? (I know you won't reply but please read)

Sakurai is my god. I only praise him for putting Lucas back in.

sakurai phases bring king k rool in super smash bros 4

Thanks for the release date, Mr. Sakurai! I'd better get some money for my eShop account soon.

Thank God. I was afraid that the Miiverse stage was in Development Hell. Also, #RyuJoinsTheBattle@E3.
