The Balloon Fight stage was one of my favorites of what they showed today.
Loved the look and it just looked like it would be a lot of fun to play in!

I'd imagine that's what happens right after it's summoned, before it goes up to the screen; I think Brawl had the same thing.

Only .01% more?What a day for Smash Bros and Sakurai. Totally exceed my expectations and we had one of the best Nintendo Directs in a while. I'm now 100.01% hyped for this game. I've missed seeing Iwata on today's Direct tough

Today was awesome, but god damn Pokemon Trainer getting cut and only Charizard staying hurts.
Going to bed satisfied and excited, but mourning the loss of Ivysaur and Squirtle. I could see them coming back with their own slots, but I highly doubt it.
RIP Red, Squirtle, and Ivysaur. :'(

Also to the fact that for most regions, the 3ds game (red) comes out in summer, while the WiiU (blue) comes out in the winter =) the colors were hinting at the release dates all along!
Zero Suit Samus looks awesome, but it's weird that they added those rocket boots when they haven't been in any game before. It feels weird to have Smash creating new things for characters and not just drawing on things from their games. (I guess Pit is the exception here, but in my mind it's okay since Sakurai made Uprising.)
Yes I remember Fox's laser pistol and lighting himself on fire to get back to the stage against Andross

Basically everything about ZSS outside of her basic look and neutral B move is an original Smash creation. Why not complain about the whip as well?

She had heels in Other M for no real reason. This seems like a way to justify that design decision retroactively.

Ah, I haven't played Brawl in ages.
Oh there was a reason. A terrible reason.

I said most regions. In Australia it would be red for 3ds and infrared for WiiU =p

Does anyone have a write up/point form of what was announced today during the Direct?

Makes me sad that Lucas, the character I mained in Brawl seems like one of the most likely goners.
I didn't get far enough to see the zero suit myself in-game, honestly. I have no doubt that any reason they gave was horrendous. Even if that reason was just sex appeal, cause they looked silly.

Only because they didn't announce the return of Ness/Lucas. My mains on Brawl, haha. Nah the hype is real I can't freaking wait!

I've been looking at more screenshots, and goddamn Samus has definitely gotten a bust size upgrade.
It definitely will spawn some angry blogs on tumblr or some crap.

...not gonna lie though, she looks really sexy. I remember when I was a wee lad and had no little good reason to be infatuated with suitless Samus.

Alright. I might stop by their store later this week.
But But Isaac, Barbara, Advance Wars and Ray MK 3 were secret characters so that's probably why they haven't shown those AT.

So based on the footage, do you guys think The online mode will be timed-only in For Glory?
He collapsed outside a hotel yesterday. Just a day after he was back on RAW.
If that rumor list turns out to be true, I'll be a little worried. I wasn't expecting anything beyond 12 newcomers since the amount of veterans keeps growing (or shrinking sad lol). But then again, Brawl had 16 newcomers + 4 cuts. I just hope there's room in there for no-brainer Dixie Kong! And at the very least, a Lucina Marth alt if Wii Fit Trainer is any indication.
And if this rumor turns out to be true, dear god, trust no one again. Chorus Men??? My heart hurts after being captivated by that "Mona is in because she has a lot of costumes" rumor.

So Charizard is in? Everybodies favorite dragon I guess ;-) Would Ridley be enjoyable with Charizard height? Maybe Charizard will get an alternate costume :-D
But nonetheless it was an awesome direct and I cant wait for summer
and winter of course

barring a 2015 release it's not like the Wii U version is coming later than anyone expected, in fact you get the 3DS version ahead of schedule

I was joking. Not being in this Direct doesn't have much bearing on whether they're going to be playable in my opinion.

And remember that time Captain Falcon lit himself on fire when he punched and kicked Black Shadow. And who can forget playing Gyromite with your favorite laser shooting Robotic Operating Buddy.

I mean, considering that:
Palutena is pretty much a lock to the point Sakurai made jokes about her
Miis are very likely and have a few stages
Namco has unique items and therefore probably a character
Greninja is an X and Y Pokemon
The dude was right with the first half and it's the same dude
Chrom was pretty obvious as well
...It's pretty likely that all of those characters will be included in my opinion. And like I said, I don't see why another DK/whatever character can't be added to that. I think you're reaching with Marth.
True! Captain Falcon is probably an even crazier example of Smash making up things for characters. I totally forgot about them after just being used to that stuff for so long.
Eh, not that much about her Brawl version really needed to be invented though, besides the whip. Everything else just draws on the fact that she's always been fairly acrobatic.
Anyway, this doesn't bother me that much, I just thought it was kind of odd (although I guess it really isn't).
If Squirtle and Ivysaur are cut then I'm sorry, but this is all kinds of bullshit. What is up with Pokemon characters in Smash always getting cut? We were all holding out for Mewtwo to return, and he might not even show up let alone losing two more Pokemon veterans as well. If those three do show up then I'll be pleasantly surprised, because then the only real cut is Pokemon Trainer which while the loss of a neat idea (and fun Red cameo) is disappointing, it isn't going to upset too many people. (I'm assuming Jigglypuff is a lock considering her veteran status)
Hopefully Charizard's reveal without the other two is akin to Samus/Zelda being revealed before their counterparts. As far as Greninja, it was a totally out of left field choice that I absolutely love, and I'm glad that Mega Lucario and Mega Charizard made it into the game as well.
Pokemon aside, I think everyone else has a good shot, but Snake is running out of time. A Namco character (Pac-Man) is flat out in our face at this point with things like the S-Flag and Galaga ATs being in the game. With Smash 3DS being months away from release, I don't know if Sakurai will just drop two 3rd party characters on us like that and I'm sure Pac-Man will be a big reveal at something like E3. Would be another huge loss for the roster if Snake was gone, one of the most inventive and original characters in the series who was one of my most played Brawl characters.
Regarding the rumored list:
Pac Man -- Inevitable, whether I like this character depends entirely on Sakurai's execution of him so he isn't just in there as a mascot and brings something fun to the table.
Mii -- Hatehatehate this idea and I will continue to do so. For a super generic "character" I also expect it to play as a super generic character. I bet it will happen, but I think it will end up completely unwarranted.
Chorus Men -- I have no idea what this is, but is there really more need for a WTF character at this point?
Shulk -- Despite never having played Xenoblade, I think this would be a good choice.
Palutena -- I fully expect her and think she will make a great addition. Not much to say other than the matter that this Direct made her inclusion super obvious between the trophy trolling, and Pit's new Final Smash.
Chrom -- I personally wanted Lucina, but I think any Fire Emblem: Awakening character is great news. My hopes of him implementing Awakening's partner mechanic have been tampered given character changes in this Direct, but if Ice Climbers can make it happen...
Edit: I take back what I said about Chorus Men after some thought, just because it means the existence of a "team" style character in the game which sounds fun given the loss of several "team" style characters following this Direct.

Isn't the whip a major invention? Most of her attacks use it and it's completely out of thin air.

So after reading through everything...seeing everything...considering everything...I have made a final conclusion.
This direct, if it were a game, would score a 9.9/10 from me. It was perfect. It was surprising. It was satisfying. It was shocking. The only reason it misses out on a perfect score is the release date for the Wii U version, as well as the online stuff being less nice than I want. I really hope they reconsider that stuff (stock matches, and especially being able to just jump into "fight rooms" in the game, as opposed to random assignment. This is still really backwards).
Great job Sakurai / Nintendo.

I'm awake! Allow me to share thoughts on the 3DS version:
1) I'm very excited it has a Summer date.
2) 60fps in 3D is such a brilliant technical feat. and 30fps AT's make sense, so we won't be having any cut AT's!
3) I love the images showing off AT's on 3DS all intact, such as Palkia which turns the stage upside down.
4) 3DS stages look fantastic, like the Balloon Fight stage and Reset Bomb Forest.
5) Smash Run looks like pure fun, i'm excited incredibly for this.
6) Online being available is epic.
7) Did I mention 60fps in 3D?!
I'm really happy with how well Smash has turned out. It has all the items and and AT's as the Wii U does and it sure feels like a deep game.
My only concern is the two songs a stage, but hey, as long as they're quality.
Now, is there any 3DS shots of Final Destination?

I agree, I think it is because she looks small and has a big booty, plus the heels. Who care she will be my main!ZSS looks a bit stripper-esque in this pic -- I think it's the heels:

The greatest and worst thing about this is that as soon as the 3DS version gets out, we'll know who all the playable character are.
