I don't care if we have 7 Pokemon reps this time (just a random number I picked off the top of my head), if all 7 of those Pokemon are just as unique as Greninja then what does it matter if a franchise has x amount of characters? It's still adding a unique playstyle and move set to the roster.

I agree, but it's a fanservice game so I can understand why people would complain. There are plenty of people, even those who play competitively, who pick characters because they like the character's design. If someone like that isn't too hot on Pokemon, he (or she) probably wouldn't be interested in playing any of them even if one of the Pokemon had a playstyle that suited him.
 
Can we talk about how fucking ridiculously HYPE the pokemon trailer is with the battle music?

Holy shit. HOOOOOOOLYYYYYYYYY SHIIIIIIIIIIIT

/edit hahaha a goldeen appears when he does splash lol
 
Is fox wavelanding? It almost looks like he scoots forward a bit at contact with the ground.

No, that's not a waveland, it's just the momentum from his jump/fall is being carried onto the ground when he lands.

Ugh, those lips are back for the ledge... well, thank God we have FD-versions of almost every stage!
 
I feel as though Sakurai's daily commute to work on this project involve opening a gargantuan safe labeled "Comprehensive History of Nintendo and Complete Catalog of Nintendo Video Game Characters and Miscellaneous Objects" and seeing how far in he can go to retrieve things for use in Super Smash Bros. without getting lost. Mr. Game and Watch, ROB, and especially Color TV Game 15 give me this vibe for the former half of this hypothetical vault name, while items like Bombchus and the Steel Diver submarine gun give me the impression of the latter half.
 
Wow, lots of cool stuff announced.

While I know some of you look forward to the update of my wallpaper, it may take some time. I hope you will look forward to E3 when I can share more.

Please understand.

lips don't look as bad though, maybe?
I don't know I guess we'll find out lol
 
I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the direct. There were a ton of things that I loved about the game from the reveal (For Glory, Greninja, moveset updates), and only a few things that I felt were going in the wrong direction (timed For Glory, return of some shitty assist trophies like Nintendog).

Overall, I'm more hyped for Smash than I was before, so I'd consider this to be a good successful night.
 
MY BODY WAS NOT READY FOR THAT. SO MUCH STUFF.


In seriousness, I think Sakurai browses GAF and Reddit to troll lol. And is Ridley deconfirmed?

I think it's more likely that he browses 2Chan or whatever, given that English isn't his first language.

He also probably just has a good idea of what the community likes/thinks/wants/etc. from Miiverse, Twitter, and Facebook.
 
Glad they nerfed Pit. He was a little OP in Brawl.

They've only nerfed his multiple recovery options (no more glide, yet his up-special is so much faster that I consider it a buff). Offensively he's been buffed quite a bit, even including super armour in an attack.

I found that Pit was great against people who didn't know the match-up and never knew how to deal with his projectile. A good thing to note is that if you make it difficult for Pit to back-air you or forward-smash you, then you're going to be living to ridiculous percentages. It's a fun matchup to learn.
 
On a random note, I'm also glad we got confirmation about the male WFT and also learned about Wire Mac, although I'm surprised we didn't hear about a female version of the Villager.

So, at the end with all the Pokeballs, we see Togepi, Darkrai, Chespin, Snivy,and Swirlix, which weren't revealed anywhere yet. Since all the other Pokemon that appear are Pokeball Pokemon, I think it's safe to assume these guys are too.

So, looks like we got some more returning and new Pokemon too which is nice

Late as hell but NOOOO CHESPIN POKEBALL kinda makes me less solid that we're getting Chesnaught.
 
Brings a tear to my eye :,)

Gotta say, i think every character looks better now. I can see why someone might not like Samus because of the change but i will think it looks good.

Pikachu is by far his best self, I've never liked him in smash until now.

Yoshis melee version is pretty bad retrospectively. But so are most of the melee versions.
 
I didn't know there was a Chespin/Quilladin pokeball summon nor a Snivy/Servine pokeball summon.

Chesnaught could have theoretically been a feasible character: as a fighting type, it has access to a bunch of high-action moves while being able to clam up it's defenses. A leech seed mechanic could have been cool too.

Yeah. Snivy and Chespin appear in the Pokémon lineup at the start of Greninja + Charizard's trailer. Doubt they'll be playable.
 
Same Sakurai who just teased us with fake Palutena. If he really was JUST a stage hazard he'd have shown him already.
Yep, I honesly don't care that much since I don't like Metroid that much, but honesly, there is no almost way Ridley isn't playable. If he was really a stage hazard, it would've been fully shown. So much trolling in this Direct.

Also anther thought: Unless I missed it (kept restarting the stream) no female villager confirmed yet. Surely, this would've been the best time to reveal her with everything else. Really worried, but there should be no reason that a female villiger shouldn't exist.
 
I've been playing Smash since 64 came out in 1999, have logged well over a thousand hours into all of the games combined and have played with a variety of people, and I have literally not once met someone (in real life) who told me that they preferred time over stock, even in free for all with all items. It's always, always stock for me.

Traditionally, everyone I have played these games with has preferred timed. We have historically played this game as a free-for-all brawler rather than a one-on-one fighter, so Timed just makes more sense. Whenever we ever played Stock, it would degenerate into 4 people all trying to run from a fight. It's only when I started playing one-on-one matches that I ever really gained any appreciation for Stock. For 4-player matches, timed just feels like a much more accurate measure of how much ass you kicked. I always hated losing a Stock match with four players even though I was winning by several points. So yeah, all I'm saying is different strokes for different folks.

Yep, still having hope for Ridley.

I honestly have more hope for Ridley being a newcomer than I have for Squirtle and Ivysaur returning. Which is weird, but the Ridley tease was so much troll.
 
Oh fuck, didn't notice Waluigi being labeled as a Wario character this time. This better mean something Samuraaaai.

Also, Yoshi looks dumb as fuck standing upright. So fed up with that character now.

Looks like Dark Lord is playable too, can't be too sure huh? Look how Yellow Devil actually plays a role as a sage hazard. Maybe he just wants us to find out for ourselves.
 
Greninja's nice, even though I also fell for the Mewtwo bait-and-switch.

Mr. Samurai clearly knows his troll-fu. First that ZSS deconfirm... not! Then the pseudo Palutena trophy quiz, and then "other bosses might also appear on other stages" with Ridley's shadow showing on Pyrosphere...

All the different Final Destinations look great, but it looks like they might've taken the "No items. Fox only. Final Destination" meme a bit too seriously. I'd say randomizing one to three floating platforms would be best, but that's probably not going to happen; hopefully, the dev team adds some other stages to Glory mode's random select at the very least (like, say, Battlefield).

Also, public NNID profiles means we might finally be able to register people we've played against to ask for a rematch and other stuff like that, woo! I'd love to see something such as Pokémon X/Y's Passerby-Acquaintance-Friend system.

Yea it would be odd for him to tease so hard and make Ridley nothing more than a stage hazard. Although this is also the man who said " just because you try hard doesn't mean you get to join the battle", so who knows lol. I feel like all characters having Alts is pretty much given at this point so female villager is a shoe in.
