I had to compile over 70 items on a page, over 20 Pokémon, 19 Assist Trophies, 5 new characters to the game, several new modes, stage confirmations etc. Clearly nothing

God people on the Internet confuse me

i know people who just don't give a shit unless it involves controversy. the kind of people unhappy unless some obscure cult character gets announced that no one would expect. this wasn't a controversial direct. it was an informative one. i can see why people would be unsatisfied. i just despise those people.

 

[Loco4Coco]

There's too many pokemon, they're taking all the slot for more deserving characters.

like Mewtwo.

 

[SkullHydra]

PotD is late. Megaton incoming!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah never understood why the "too many Pokemon" outcry came to be.

 

[SuperSah]

Greninja's slowly growing to me..

 

[JoeM86]

Like GTA characters!

Pic of the day. Your character starts a Smash Run as a relatively ordinary fighter. But before the game, you can outfit yourself with certain items that can help power you up early, which will give you a big advantage later on!! These items are much like the Powers you'd find in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Bonus:For those who are wondering what Smash Run is, check out the Super Smash Bros. Direct. You can find the link on the post two days before this one.

 

[theprodigy]

I figured, thanks. Daylight Savings Time made waiting for the Daily Pic so much more painful. =/

DST+late pic=???

 

[Neoriceisgood]

What?

But there was... what???

It's a combination of assuming all brawl features/chars are back + only treating newcomers as significant I think.


When I looked at people's predictions and they literally just had lists of 7 newcomers I figured some people would be let down about their unreasonable expectations.

 

[Antoids]

I cannot believe people still believe in this "slots" bullshit. The character roster is one of the first things to be finalized.

sonic/mewtwo

 

[SuperSah]

This mode looks freaking fantastic.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Smash Run!!! And it's Pit.

 

[GamerSoul]

neat pic

nah, Greninja assassinated Jiggs and Mewtwo. we all good.

 

[Kyzon]

sonic/mewtwo

Moneyhats upset the balance

 

[Speedwagon]

Edit: Beaten lol

 

[Neoriceisgood]

HORIZONTAL BEAM~

 

[SkullHydra]

Smash run looks so freaking fun, although all the power-up icons could get distracting.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

The idea that people still believe in the existence of character "slots" (wasted or otherwise) just amuses me to no end.

The roster is the roster. There are no "slots" up for grabs throughout development.

 

[theprodigy]

Moneyhats upset the balance

indeed, like with Killer Instinct

 

[SuperSah]

I really hope 3DS gets Yoshi's Island or Pirate Boat as a returning stage.

 

[Anth0ny]

i can't wait to play this once and never again

hopefully it unlocks a character or something

 

[foxuzamaki]

sweet!

 

[SkullHydra]

There aren't "slots", but there are definitely a limited number of resources and time that will get allotted to the games. If working on Character A takes up X amount of time and money, then that's less resources they can allot to Characters B-L for example. It's why Dedede wasn't included in Melee, if I remember correctly.

 

[GamerJM]

sonic/mewtwo

What happened with Mewtwo? Was he a last minute addition in Melee or taken out late in development in Brawl in favor of Sonic or something?

 

[SenorArdilla]

Smash run looks so freaking fun, although all the power-up icons could get distracting.

From the looks of it, you just have to walk into them to pick them up. Though I see what you mean. If you don't pick them up, they just fill up the screen.

[Not]

Now I just need all my friends to lay down 200 greenbacks for a 3DS so I can play Smash Brothers with them

 

[chaobreaker]

Don't know if this was posted already but thought it was pretty awesome:

[Blood Diamonds]

I'm really thinking about buying a 2DS and getting this game when it's out.. but I also want the Wii U version and I don't have one.. damn it.

Do it. A whole ton of us here are getting Smash 3DS.

 

[Matt Attack]

I think the mode is going to be so awesome, but I have been thinking that the icons are too big. I think that they could really stand to be smaller.

haha, freakin nice.

 

[Kangi]

Knowing how amazing City Trial was, there's no possible way Smash Run won't be great.

 

[Terrell]

There's too many pokemon, they're taking all the slot for more deserving characters.

First it was "too many Mario characters", now this.

Yeah never understood why the "too many Pokemon" outcry came to be.

I don't get it either. I mean, I am never touching a Pokemon game ever again until they make a console edition of the series, due to my staunch "I have better things to when I'm out of the house than play video games" policy.

But even I see Greninja as a neat badass addition, and removing the Trainer makes some sense.

I know this will hurt you, Boss, but I think "too many Fox clones" is a more reasonable argument to have than this.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

You'll have roughly 4-5 months between releases. Maybe you'll be able to save up for both in time.

 

[theprodigy]

It's gonna unlock Sheik

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I think I'll bite. I wanted to wait for the Wii U version because of the whole graphics thing but the 3DS version is 60fps and looks really good too.
Fuck it, Nintendo got me again lol

 

[tonyh24613]

I'm gonna stop refreshing, need more time to study.

I wonder how many SmashGafs still don't know that you can follow two Sakuraies on Miiverse, or people just don't use Miiverse?

[Niwa]

Okay if we are going to be blunt, what are the chances for Lucas and Ness to be in? I can't handle this anymore, someone release me from this pain. OTL

 

[Ivan 3414]

If you liked City Trial in Kirby Air Ride, I have no idea why you wouldn't like this mode.

 

[SkullHydra]

Only once you beat it with every other character. =P

 

[Benzychenz]

GUYS GUYS GUYS

I beat Champion Road.

 

[fredrancour]

Lying.

[Would post lyingcat.jpeg if I had an image-hosting account]

Seriously though, I told a friend I wasn't buying any new games until I beat champion's road.

Maybe I'll make it in time for the release of the wiiu smash. That's probably why that one is coming second.

 

[Boomstick (Coffee Crazy)]

Okay if we are going to be blunt, what are the chances for Lucas and Ness to be in? I can't handle this anymore, someone release me from this pain. OTL

I'd say Ness is pretty much definitely in, and Lucas is... eh I'm saying 50/50. I have my doubts about him returning for some reason.

 

[chaobreaker]

Do you think 3DS players will have to unlock every secret character again in the Wii-U version? That would seriously suck .

 

[SuperSah]

MetaKnight, where art thou?

 

[Benzychenz]

Okay if we are going to be blunt, what are the chances for Lucas and Ness to be in? I can't handle this anymore, someone release me from this pain. OTL

Ness - 100%
Lucas - 75%

MetaKnight, where art thou?

Either E3 or he's a hidden character I'd guess.

I think we'll get a last batch of both veterans and newcomer at E3 and the rest will be hidden characters. I'd wager Meta Knight, Ness, Falco, Ice Climbers, Ike and Snake if he's back will be at E3, as well as Mii, Pac-Man and maybe... Palutena?
Rest of vets will be secret, and a few more newcomers (Shulk, Chrom, and let's count Mewtwo as a newcomer?)

 

[BGBW]

Do you think 3DS players will have to unlock every secret character again in the Wii-U version? That would seriously suck .

Hoping part of the connectivity will be to simply transfer ones character unlocks in the other game. Obviously unique aspects like stages I expect to unlock independently in both games.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Yeah, given the 3DS is out by Summer, I don't think they're going to announce all the characters by then, veterans or newcomers.
