So, what are we expecting up tonight, guys? :)
Either Sakurai continuing a goo stream of info to keep hype going, which will seem amazing compared to re-direct POTD, or he's going to used pics from the promotional gallery that wasnt in the direct.


Those seem to e smashgaf's 2 big guesses
 
Yep, I actually referenced it in my post. If accurate (and I believe it is, since this is the same dude who pissed off everyone by correctly predicting Wolf in Brawl and who is now 5 for 5 in predicting Smash 4 newcomers), words cannot express how hyped I am for the Chorus Men. Palutena and Shulk will be legit exciting, too!

I don't believe that's correct, but if it is, link me because that interests me.

I'm guessing just filler pics from now until E3.
 
Diddy and maybe Fox are the two that stick out most for me, among the veterans. Hopefully they do another pass/tweak. To me, though, I feel like I can see a difference between the two in this pic:



Could be imaging things, though, I admit.

Nah, Lucario is visibly lower poly than Greninja, just look at the thighs and tail. The iffy fur texturing isn't doing him any favors either.
 
agreed never expected to see so many new pics all at once. The direct and everything that came with it exceeded my expectations.

I'm still not tired of watching the newcomer trailer. so good

So good...
Doc Mario would have won this with thunder palm lol.
 
Anyone got Substitute gif from trailer? I wanna show it to prove that it's not a 2D sprite render.

Villager showed off like 6 moves, WFT 2 moves and the Alt. Though we've seen WFT's final smash before I guess.

Yeah but he didn't explain them. WFT he explained the two moves and we had a glimpse of her side B (volley ball projectile which bounces on walls) and Up B (hoola hoops TM).

Oh yeah, apparently WFT can crawl
 
What if they're saving Wario because he's showing up in a WarioWare reveal trailer like Charizard did with Greninja.

That's obviously not gonna happen, but think about it
 
Anybody notice that the scene where the Greninja CG reveal took place was a bit similar to the one in Mega Man's reveal? I wonder if that's intentional and a subtle hint at some kind of adventure mode or just a random thing.

Anyway, on another topic: 3DS version being released in Summer makes me wonder what will happen with Miiverse Daily Pics. With the full roster being revealed, the daily pic loses a lot of appeal. I guess some hype could come from new stages or maybe details on single player modes but it isn't the same... Unless they're planning on keeping some characters from the 3DS version until Wii U launch (free DLC for 3DS of course).

Also, holy shit at the Mega Man Backstreet video. I've replayed it like 20 times haha.

Megaman backstreet video?
 
I would like to see Bowser Jr as playable character, he would be like Bowser but faster. I love Ridley as a character but let's be honest, he fits more as a Boss than as a character that's why sakurai didn't even contemplated him as a playable character.
 
Wouldn't it simply have been easier to add an option to turn off stage hazards rather than this Final destination for all method Sakurai adopted?

Just because PSASBR did it doesn't make it poison or something. Who even asked for Final Destination versions of every stage, there was a topic earlier about Sakurai listening to fans the most out of Nintendo related devs. I really question that when he makes leaps such as this, completely forgoing to more practical option that would encourage play outside of the now meme status (Final destination, Fox only, No items) in other stages that we're unfavorable due to stage hazards in favor of features that don't help out some characters (Such as Norfair, Frigate Orpheon and Spear Pillar for example).

Regardless of how neutral FD is there are obviously some characters who benefit or will benefit more playing there than others.

Well, at least it's not just me.

There's also these comparisons, with Pokemon and ATs. Then some old ones look great, like Nintendogs or Mr. Saturn (though technically an item).

Yeah, he'll defo show up in Mona's reveal trailer. Or Bowser Jr.'s.
 
Anyone's mind change on who they wanna play as first? I want to try the new Sheik now mostly.

The first thing I ever do in a Smash game is boot up Classic mode and play through it as Mario. Character wise, I'm greatly looking forward to trying out Little Mac. Really digging his moveset from what I've seen.

There's still no standout, have to try first newcomer for me (last time there was Pokemon Trainer). I'm still really hyped for all the newcomers, just not any one much more than I am the others.

I want to try Marth first of the currently revealed characters. Little Mac and Villager are the most intriguing newcomers to me in terms of playstyle.

Nope so far Mac still looks amazing. BUT Greninja and ZSS tho...so many characters I want to try.

The doublepost strikes again!

So...pic of the day hype anyone?
LOL

ehhh, I'm good but a part of me is interested in what he might show next. If we are really getting the 3DS version this summer, we still have a decent number of veterans yet to be reveal til then...unless they will be hidden or something
 
The more I think about it, the more I actually want Snake to return. I'm going to miss Shadow Moses. It was pretty unique and had solid music.

Eesh that is a tough one. I was pretty set on Little Mac, but the Greninja playing looks pretty awesome. I guess in order from first to last, as of today, is...

1. Greninja
2. Little Mac
3. Villager
4. Mega Man
5. Rosalina
6. Wii Fit Trainer
 
I have a feeling Little Mac's going to be really annoying to play against your first few times, since it'll take practice to consistently dodge that OHKO move.

Simply having a stage hazard toggle wouldn't have helped, either, as a ton of stages would still have to be banned. The Boxing Ring, for instance, has no stage hazards but would still need a ban because of walkoffs. Spear Pillar would still be a bad stage for competitive play even without its stage hazards because of the tunnel underneath the stage. Having FD versions at least makes 99% of stages playable.

I'm hoping they tweak the FD versions before release and add platforms to, say, 1/2 to 2/3 of them in various configurations. The idea they have is sound - it's effectively the same kind of thing Project M did to its first page of stages, after all. They just need to have stages with platforms since, well, FD isn't the be all and end all of competitive play and makes things over-centralized on certain characters that are fast and/or have projectiles.
