This morning, Nintendo dropped three Smash Bros. bombshells named Lucina, Robin, and Captain Falcon. The unternet was quick to react.
For starters, you must check out this new art by Kozaki Yusuke (via TinyCartridge):
Of course Twitter was quick to respond to the big reveals with jokes:
In my darkest moments, I’ll find solace in this Smash Bros. screenshot of Captain Falcon acting like a maniac. pic.twitter.com/DiAP88gURa

Kellam was also added to Smash Bros. today, but nobody noticed.

All this FE/Smash news is amazing, but I hope Sakurai knows the fans won’t rest until this guy takes the stage: pic.twitter.com/PlUjadaoqi

I dread to think how much animating all these female Smash characters is costing Nintendo.

There’s some concern that Lucina is just a Marth clone:
…and Lucina is a Marth clone? Why didn’t she get the newcomer treatment on the Smash Bros site?

Marth with long hair and not a guy >

The thing I’m salty about is, lucina looks basically exactly like a marth clone :S

Lucina just looks like a clone of Marth…not excited…shoulda been Chrom

People are undoubtedly psyched about Captain Falcon, too:
Nice to see Captain Falcon getting a reprieve from the Nintendo unemployment dole. Rumors had been that Falcon was hitting the bottle lately

“Say my name.” “Captain Falcon” “YOU’RE GOD DAMN RIGHT” pic.twitter.com/HC3pBDe7hB

Some Redditors chime in:
And there are some great gifs on Tumblr:

There’s also concern that Earthbound’s Ness still hasn’t been announced:
With every Smash Bros. announcement that isn’t Ness, Earthbound fans sweat even more. How many characters can the roster realistically have?
— Jason Venter (@jasonventer) July 14, 2014
Nintendo is saving the Super Smash Bros. Chibi-Robo reveal until after they announce Ness and Jigglypuff. Right? RIGHT?!?
— Jeff Cork (@gijeff) July 14, 2014
None of these characters are Ness. I’m going to a bar.
— Marty Sliva (@McBiggitty) July 14, 2014
Another Smash reveal without Ness. IS NOTHING SACRED?

ermahgerd…..unternet
Came to post “unternet”
Was beaten like Chron.
HAHA Unternet has to be a new word for sure
EDIT: Awwww someone beat me to it 😀
BUT MY UNTERNETS…
Seriously though, no Ness? I am disappoint :/
Looks like Lucina is my new main
how about some other fire emblem people like King Carneghis, or Mordecai, or Tibarn – some freakin Laguz could make for interesting game play!
