On the subject of a second Animal Crossing rep, here's a fun fact: Fire Emblem is the only series introduced after Smash 64 that has more than one playable character.

Fire Emblem is moving up in the world!

Spoiler

lol Kid Icarus is gonna join it

 

[Troubled Bat]

Well Happy birthday to you too then!

And Batty has taken my bet! Sakurai dont let me down!

I feel as if that was your plan all along, to get a bet with me. Lol.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

I love love love Animal Crossing and Tom Nook, but I don't think now is the time for two Animal Crossing reps. It's definitely tied for my favorite Nintendo franchise, but I think it's time to give some other franchises a chance since we've got Villager.

That being said, if Tom Nook showed up, I'd be okay with it. And I would totally advocate him in the next Super Smash Bros.

Fire Emblem existed before Smash 64. Just in Japan only.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Fire Emblem existed before Smash 64. Just in Japan only.

But it wasn't in Smash 64, so it was introduced to Smash after. Like he said.

Well I don't really think that should be a reason to not have another playable character from the series. If Sakurai thinks that they can include another character, then they probably will.

 

[Hyperactivity]

I'm not sure where you with this. Clearly. But if you want it that way.. Hah.

I was messing around. Bet is still up, I;m saying a newcomer and veteran will be revealed at the direct. Was just pointing out a loophole where I had put shown instead of revealed, not knowing the implications of that word. I have effectively closed the loophole now

Explanation had got real confusing, so there's the less confusing one

 

[SkullHydra]

Get Hype

ToQger hype train .gif? *Right-click saved*

I'm betting we're getting at least two characters revealed for SSB4 during the Direct.

 

[AbsolPowers]

I'm betting we're getting at least two characters revealed for SSB4 during the Direct.

*hehehehehe*
I believe there will be two, either one veteran and one newcomer or BOTH newcomers. Still want that Palutena game, tho

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Oh, I see.

Well I don't really think that should be a reason to not have another playable character from the series. If Sakurai thinks that they can include another character, then they probably will.

Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not saying I don't want Nook. But if it came down to a second AC rep vs. a rep from a new franchise, then I would prefer the latter.

But I trust Sakurai with the roster and the playstyle designs.

Here's a bet, there will be signs of disappointment after the Direct is over.

Also, the sun will set sometime after the direct over America.

Great! I already have yours. C:

What an unfair bet, might as well bet that the sun will rise tomorrow morning

Edit: Dammit Prodigy, GET OUT OF MY HEAD

 

[Caladrius]

Also, the sun will set sometime after the direct over America.

Also the entire universe will disintegrate into a cold, dead void.

 

[Kriken]

What would your bet be? :3

Not quite sure, probably a weak bet like the number of characters revealed during the ND

 

[-Horizon-]

You think you're psychic now, like the weathermen on tv or something??

 

[Enforced]

I'm looking forward seeing the avatars that you guys made.

Sorry, Palutena stuck on my brain. But on tuesday we shall battle. HAVE AT YOU!

 

[SmithnCo]

Isabelle is going to be taller than the villager...

I kinda wished they used the New Leaf Villager size, the short one just looks weird now.

But I guess it's more iconic.

 

[Zephyrus]

Animal Crossing is much more popular than Fire Emblem, it deserves a second character over a third Fire Emblem one.

Reasons why I expect Tom Nook:
1. He was glancing down at the letter in the first trailer
2. We haven't seen him in the background of the AC stage
3. Isabelle is an assist trophy over him

If I put one more character in it would be Chrom though, but it'd be Ridley I'd cut for that to happen rather than Nook.


And Krystal? :lol

so AC gets to have two newcomers on the first Smash it has a playable character?

Haha... No.

Also, Chrom belongs to probably the best selling FE game. Soooo...

 

[-Horizon-]

I'm looking forward seeing the avatars that you guys made.

They'll be ridiculous and TB will get the worst best one.

 

[BGBW]

Life isn't fair sunshine.

Edit: in regards to Nook, apparently the way we see him in the west isn't the same as Japan.

 

[Caladrius]

Life isn't fair sunshine.

*avatar quote*

 

[Kriken]

Life isn't fair sunshine.

^What Cal said

 

[Dryk]

There are slots though. It's called dev time and they have to prioritise characters.

They would prioritise a second AC character over a third FE one.

Like how Mewtwo wasn't in Brawl because he was low priority.

Not that hard to understand.

That isn't having slots, that's a queue.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Hmm. That's fine by me!

Sorry, Palutena stuck on my brain. But on tuesday we shall battle. HAVE AT YOU!

Haha. Enjoy your happiness while you can.

Guys, I can't deal with the unbelievable Smash Direct hype. WHY IS IT NOT TUESDAY YET?

What is the rest of SmashGAF doing to contain their hype until Direct time? I need help. ;_;

Find something to keep yourself busy? I have a lot of things to do this weekend so I'm lucky.

My incredibly specific (and unlikely) Direct prediction:

The Direct immediately opens with a 3-4 minute gameplay trailer featuring characters, stages, and items that have already been confirmed.

Afterwards, Iwata appears and introduces Sakurai, who takes over as the host of the Direct. Sakurai spends a few minutes talking about development, Miiverse, and the official site, and then he introduces a special trailer.

Cue Mii’s trailer.

After the video ends, Sakurai spends 5 minutes or so explaining the Mii’s customizability (all set to direct feed footage): you can edit its costume and moves, you can can build up its stats in a special mode, and you can trade Miis with friends.

Sakurai then says, “before we go, I have one last thing to show you.”

Cue Snake’s trailer.

“Thank you for watching,” and so on.

(The November release date will be announced at E3.)

I could see this situation happening. I would be happy with it, and I already posted my opinion in other thread.

Bill Trinen will probably be doing a voice over and hopefully it will have subtitles for IntelliHeath's (and others') sake(s).

Indeed

SmashGAF on Tuesday ^^^

Okay then, 3 total characters will be revealed. 2 newcomers and 1 veteran. For fun, I'll say the veteran will be Ness

 

[Hyperactivity]

TB has 3 total bets going on.
All 3 could be right, which would = 3 avatars in a row chosen by all of us

Alright! Holding that to you! The contract is sealed. :3

 

[Kriken]

Alright! Holding that to you! The contract is sealed. :3

Okay, and since this is a weaker bet, whatsay the loser keeps the avatar for a shorter time? I think the others were 2 weeks

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Anyone know where I can get the Smash Bros. website font that people keep using in their roster images? Or are y'all just using Impact?

 

[IntelliHeath]

I missed those bets

At least, Cap America 2 is actually worth of those missing bets and my times

 

[Hyperactivity]

Okay, and since this is a weaker bet, whatsay the loser keeps the avatar for a shorter time? I think the others were 2 weeks

Waiiiiiiit, I have any even weaker bet.

Oh well, no TB is going to lose so Im okay with TB keeping the avatar I choose for longer
