It'll be a from a Yoshi game alright.

Yoshi's Safari.

Yoshi's final smash is also gonna be plugging 30 rounds into Mario's face for inflicting scoliosis on him.

>One of the original 8 faces of the Smash franchise yet consistently absent from prerelease hype periods ever since Melee
>The headlining star of one of the best games ever in the 90s but hasn't ever sniffed that level of quality once in the 3 direct sequels to that initial game since
>His current best appearance was as a sidekick you could ride on in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
>Is very obviously trotted out only because "fuck, everyone else already has a game released recently, which character IP can we use?"

I truly think that being Yoshi is suffering.

'Swat I've been sayin' brah.

Yoshi needs vengeance.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Sakurai could bend the rules and put in yoshi star galaxy as a yoshi stage...maybe.

Sakurai could make a stage based on the original Yoshi Island game. Maybe a stage based on the final fight against Bowser. Have Bowser shoot fireballs and rubble towards the stage.

A shame we probably won't get that final boss theme...

 

[Gregorn]

I honestly wouldn't mind if Yoshi was dropped. Probably my least played character out of the originals, even Jigglypuff gets more use. I know it won't happen though.

But then I won't get that AMSA hype.

Say no to cuts, people. Just say no to cuts.

yeah I don't know what's up with that

As a Marth main, seeing people talk badly about Marth's Yoshi's Story tells me that they have no soul or another Marth main had their way with them there.

Still wish if the two main songs for the stage were Yoshi's Story Melee and Love Is In The Air. Sometimes, the best fighting music is chill as hell. Also, I'm a sucker for strings in music. The song sounds so warm.

'Swat I've been sayin' brah.

Yoshi needs vengeance.

Funnily enough, I was thinking a few days ago that ever since Brawl, Sakurai seems to love sidelining Yoshi for a different "Big 8" consisting of Mario, Link, Pikachu, Kirby, Fox, Pit, Donkey Kong & Samus. It's better looking for someone new to the franchise but sometimes you can't help but feel bad for the one that took the first blow.

When Bowser joins the fight, Alfonso takes over. Leave it to me!

[I'M FINISHED!]

I really hope Sakurai chooses to dilute the Nintendo all-star concept because Kojima said please.

 

[MillionVolts]

Wow. When did Yoshi games sink so fucking low?

After 1995.

One day I'd like to see Koji Kondo perform that piece live.

So do you guys really think we'll get a character tonight?

Don't set high expatiation for tonight. I can't afford to see yourself getting stab in the heart once again.

 

[Kjellson]

Oh man I just caught up with the Snake news. Sigh...

Huh, DK did pretty well, all things considered. Pushing... some units is an impressive feat.

That's some grade A salt bro.

 

[DisconnectD]

I've never heard of that interview, any source?



Is it this? Because he's not making any clear cut statement here at all.

This has quotes from the interview I'm talking about but not the entire story. I am busy right now but I will try to locate it tonight.

 

[-Horizon-]

Oh man I just caught up with the Snake news. Sigh...

Whats the Snake news?

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

I've already seen at least one person over at GameFAQs claim that even if Yoshi was going to be revealed tonight, he's not anymore and Sakurai is going to cut him retroactively because of the middling reviews Yoshi's New Island is getting.

... The stupidity over there is astonishing sometimes. Well, a lot of times.

 

[Thequietone]

Whats the Snake news?

Paraphrasing Kojima. When asked about Snake being in Smash 4 he said, "I don't know, I am not working on that game. It is doubtful, but if Sakurai is watching please use Snake."

At least it's not Miiverse.

Paraphrasing Kojima. When asked about Snake being in Smash 4 he said, "I don't know, I am not working on that game. It is doubtful, but if Sakurai is watching please use Snake."

...So does that mean he was never approached by Sakurai to ask him? Or is he just trolling everyone once again?

Then they'd have to cut Sonic too.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Either is possible, but I'm leaning towards the former.

Perhaps it's also possible that Sakurai approached someone else at Konami, but I doubt it.

Then they'd have to cut Sonic too.

Fox and Samus as well.

 

[Berordn]

It's basically him doing his best to keep it as non-news. It's not a confirmation or denial, and we don't even know if Sakurai has to go to him to include Snake.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

There is still time. And Game and Wario's mixed reaction has certainly sealed Fart Man's fate.

To be technical that is actually Baby Bowser.

Oh please, if a character got cut b/c their recent game got bad reviews, Sonic would be drunk in a bar right now.

Also, if on the off-chance Yoshi is NOT revealed tonight, I will assume he'll be revealed when the game launches in Japan

I thought it was you go to the company.. and show them how they will represent the character and see if they like it or not. i read that somewhere it was about him letting megaman in.

 

[Azure J]

Miiverse is fascinating. The fervor for some of the most inane things that go against the only real guideline (Has to come from gaming) is hilarious.

I'll say.

The company doesn't have to include the creators though. Kojima may not be the controlling party in Snake's usage outside of his own games.

But like I said earlier, I don't actually know how Metal Gear is handled in there at all.

 

[PadWarrior]

I saw a guy on Miiverse asking for female gamers to please be his girlfriend lol.

 

[Azure J]

I'll say.

I'll give Craig some credit for using bestest hair style though.

Hey he's not that far off. All 3 PP Girls were in the Cartoon Network SSB clone. They even had Rowdy Ruff Boys for alternate skins.

However I'd pick Captain Planet first

Yea you're right, megamans creator didn't even know he was in the game.
