Pic of the day. Hey look, a bottle!! This is a special item that can even heal fighters who have accumulated over 100% damage.
Ganon is sure looking good these days.

So, does it heal immediately, or does it wait till you hit 100%? I'd like the latter, that would be an interesting mechanic and make sense given how fairies worked in Zelda.
 
You know what item I'd like to see? The Bee Mushroom from the Galaxies. I want to see Snake in a bee costume.

I can't see Snake returning. Representation on other consoles exceeding Nintendo ones (including zero ports of Ground Zeroes or Phantom Pain) and a controversial change of voice actors? It sounds like a recipe for the most surefire cut character.
 
Why do people see Snake not returning? Metal Gear has history on Nintendo on the NES. You can't rewrite history.(Not in this case anyway)

Yeah, you can't rewrite history, a character's debut console should always be her home platform. Hence the bevy of Crash Bandicoot games on Sony machines.
 
I'm curious about one thing. Do Sakurai and teams would persisting to acquire the rights to use third-party characters to be in the games during development plans or brainstorming phase so they can get the moveset ready in advance. Am I right to assume that?

If it's so. Right after E3 reveals, Sakurai mentioned the quotes to the interviewer.

"So we’re not going to cut characters out of the way, we’re going to put in as many characters as we can, we really want to do that, because it's good for the fans and good for all of us. But in the event that we do have to cut some characters, I’d like to apologise in advance to those fans."

Someone mentioned in Smashboard,

Someone stated this (they brought this notion to my attention) in another thread, but Snake isn't going to be cut as that would be an overt contradiction in his statements. An inherent quality of having no cuts... is having no cuts. So when he stated that, he indirectly implied that Snake was going to return. If he acquired the rights at the time of writing, of course. Needless to say, he did. There is no reason to assume that Snake wasn't included in his 3rd party license acquiring fiasco. He had Mega Man prior to E3 and he presumably had Sonic, again, prior to E3. So it is rational to presume that he also had acquired Snake's rights, thus as there were no cuts, Snake isn't cut.

Someone mentioned in Smashboard,

I got the impression that he wasn't going to go into development and say - "These characters are out, and these characters are in." He surely has to prioritize certain characters over others but he can in no way guarantee there will be no cuts. It just depends on the time he has to finish it. Unless part of the contract is to make the game with all the characters returning, I'm pretty sure he can't guarantee no cuts. That's why he apologized in advanced.
 
I'm guessing you pick it up and then open the bottle (which will make you stand still for a while) and then the fairy comes out and goes around you like in Zelda games.

I wonder how the Hocotate ship will work. Do you pick it up and then set it up? Or do you have to throw it up in the air?
 
So, I had a CRAZY idea last night related to the discussion about the announcer...

You know all those rumors and wishes that Reggie will be in the game? Well, what if he is...as the announcer? Dude's got a pretty strong and recognizable voice, it'd be pretty neat.

What's wrong with you?

Reggie quote
 
Going through lucario's reveal time span I think he had 4/5 pics dedicated to him so i hopefully Mac will get a few more before they move on to a veteran reveal. I want to see if he has any few tricks that we haven't seen in the trailer.

A better comparison is Rosalina, we still got info on her last week.
 
Well but yesterday we got 2 pics right? the daily one and the comments one..

So we're "good" at the moment, I need more Little Mac info!

I always wondered.... in Sakurai's team is he the one that takes the daily pics? Because Little Mac reveal's pics are awesome.

Reggie's Mii as an assist trophy. Announces "My Body is Ready" and then surfs across the screen on a Wii Fit board.

I can see something like this happening; a Reggie Mii reveal trailer. But at the end, Sakurai discusses how the Mii just takes the appearance of any Mii you choose, so Reggie is only pseudo playable.
 
I'm a huge Nintendo fanboy, but honestly that Reggie in Smash was so cringe-worthy, I really hope it isn't taken seriously. :(

Reggie as Announcer? No.
Reggie as playable? No.
Reggie as a Trophy? Sure.

Reggie Mii introducing Mii characters is pretty cool idea though. But the scary thought is that there will probably be
kids
people genuinely upset at the cop out.

and then another fan petition will be born!

yeeaa keep that guy away from my Smash please >.>
 
Cucco would make for an awesome Zelda item -- you'd have to avoid hitting it, lest you trigger an apocalyptic flock of birds! But we already have two Zelda items (the Beetle and the Bottled Fairy). So who knows.

Also, these rosters with Isaac, Saki AND Shulk -- blonde effeminate girly-boy overload. Although I do advocate Marth, Ike and Chrom (& Lucina), which would be a case of the Blues Brothers, so maybe I shouldn't be talking.
 
It's been said a billion times but I'll say it again: the only way Reggie (or any other Nintendo personality) should "be in Smash" is as a Mii.

And no one really cares about that now as he is more a Sony a character in terms of history and relevance.

personally i would not mind him getting cut and his move set being used or tweaked to fit another character like Ray from Disaster: Day of Crisis if he remains that's fine to .

Part of me likes to think that Reggie saying we should petition for him in Smash is a setup for a Direct where Iwata says, "Harro! Many, of you, have wanted, Weggie, in Suppa, Smash, Brudders." And while he's saying this, it shows petition signatures for Reggie in Smash. Iwata then continues: "Wrell.. Today, I am, pweased to announce, Weggie in Suppa, Smash, Brudders."

And then the Mii trailer begins: "Mii puts YOUR head in the game!" Cut to footage of Reggie's Mii scampering around, smash-attacking fools with tennis rackets and trombone slides and hang-gliding through the air, Pilotwings-style.

That was already the case when Melee and Brawl were around. Nothing changed.

Well, another major MGS game has been announced without Nintendo being on board. Snake in Brawl was arguably a remnant of Snake nearly being in Melee, on the Gamecube which at least has an MGS title. Time to cut the cord I think.

We're going off, what, an MGS3 port for 3DS?
 
Is Kiefer Sutherland willing to perform lines about such things as Wario's farting to fly escapades?
I had this wacky dream that Buffy Summers was in Smash Bros. and Giles, Willow, and Xander would make snide comments about cartoon characters. And Angelus was a second character and his taunt would be "Gee, maybe it's broken."

Let's just include Alex Roivas and call her Buffy anyways

Sami (or other Advance War characters) make far more sense than Ray who basically only has the fact he is a bloke in a game with campy dialogue in common with Snake.

Exactly, this would be perfect :p
