well then maybe someone shouldn't blurt out "but not making x playable will cost sales!", as if this was remotely plausible
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

You know you'll miss them when the fulll roster is revealed.
So let's talk about Smash 4 @ E3. It is going to have the biggest presence compared to every other game and probably any game they've showcased during E3.
List of things they are doing for Smash 4 during the week of E3:
- Smash Invitational (tournament)
- Smash-Fest @ Best Buy (people in NA are able to play Smash Bros Wii U at a Best Buy)
- Smash Roundtable Discussion with Sakurai (presentation and then Q&A for the press)
- Assumption: Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U will be playable on the showfloor for those attending E3
- Assumption: They will show a trailer for Smash 4 during the Digital Event
- Assumption: They will give an in-depth look at Smash 4 during Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3 stream
And then there is the possibility of Sakurai being interviewed by the press.
That's a lot of stuff for Smash 4 which is exciting.

Stockholm syndrome is what this is.
I'd like to think we have the capacity to filter these out after the nth time.
The only character EXCLUSIONS that could cost sales are for veterans. MARIO not being in or LINK not being in or even CAPTAIN FALCON not being in could turn off existing customers and would therefore cost sales. Excluding a newcomer would cost a minuscule number of sales.
Unless nintendo invents the next 'Minecraft' between smash bros, gains an ENTIRELY NEW fanbase who only play nintendo for that one new IP, and then EXCLUDES the protagonist from that game, nintendo won't notice a sales difference in smash bros. All the major nintendo franchises currently have a good number of reps, and smash 4 would sell fine without any number of newcomers, especially ones that aren't the protagonists of their franchises.
I could go without Chrom to be honest.
Although I have already accepted him in since the Sal Romano rumor.

Here's hoping for a lot of character reveals throughout E3.
Doesn't matter game will sell well regardless, hell I bet they could cut Mario and get away with it. Possibly sell more because of the exposure due to the controversy.
Nintendo could announce absolutely no new games at E3 and all of this happening would still make it one of the best E3s for me. Can't wait!

Will te 9am Nintendo event on June 10th be streamed on YouTube?
There will be a release date for Smash on 3DS during E3. This will happen.
There are tons of people who play smash bros the same way people play mario party. Tons. Excluding mario will make a portion of those people say 'well, now I don't want it.' Their exposure to nintendo might be entirely through mario and nothing else.
Definitely for the 3DS version.
Actually, this is a pretty good guess as to something we could get from all the E3 hubbub. When did Brawl's final box art get revealed again?
Good call. I wonder if the 3DS box art will be different from the Wii U boxart.
On the one hand, you want people to know they're the same game, but on the other, you want people to buy both, so if the box art is different, it might say that there is enough content that is different so it's worth owning both. Interesting to see what they do.
MH3Ultimate is the only other game I can think of that had the game on both platforms, but other than online and HD resolution, the games were identical, so it made sense to have both boxarts be the same.
Wii U and 3DS smash bros are different enough that having different box art might increase sales. Interesting to see what nintendo does. It'd be cool if they're by different artists, too.
I thought Brawl's box art was leaked by IGN or some such back in the day. I'd bet amazon leaks it this time
Wait a minute. I can't let you off that easy.
How about a blunderbuss that can:
- jet
- suck
- shoot (cannonballs, spiky traps, jelly that slows you down, jelly that inverts your controls, etc)
And that's not even including moves from his DKC1,DKC3,DK64, Jungle Climber, and Barrel Blast incarnations!

We have 2 ninjas in smash, so I'm all for having a pirate in smash. Pirates for life! (Tetra plz). Still don't think he'll be in.

I'm excited about it as well, and I really hope that they would disconfirm or confirm Snake being there at E3 so the discussion would be over with it and I would pay up for my avatar bet as well. Yeah, I think they are banking on Smash 4 to sell both systems.
Yes, they should.

November 2007, three months before the second projected release date (February 2008).
EDIT: Actually, it may have been sooner.

Maybe they are saving it for E3.
I bet one of unconfirmed newcomer are on boxart.

If he's in, he better be the DKC 1 version. Just a cape and crown. Butt-ass naked otherwise.Wait a minute. I can't let you off that easy.

GAF has been getting more and more heated over time. Actual, intelligent discussion about games has fallen to the wayside; dick-measuring about framerates/resolutions, cheap drive-by one-liners and banderas.gif have taken its place. People, in desire of intelligent discussion, congregate in community threads and megathreads, only for said megathreads to be shut down as the mods want the good people in there to post outside of those threads, as well, thereby bringing up the quality of the overall board; an admirable goal, but unfortunately, that hasn't really been happening as a result. (We actually had a discussion about the whole "people posting in insular communities instead of spreading out" problem in SonicGAF late last year.)
Basically, all of this really put qq more off, so he decided to quietly leave GAF.
Captain Syrup would be a fantastic addition, I agree.
Explosives are A-OK, since you can't generally just walk into a store and buy them. It's guns, which you can just walk into a store and buy, that are an issue.
Imagine Smash discussions without Ridley. Awful, right?
Cannonballs are explosives,right?

when is this actually starting...
I don't know, but I can't handle much more of this commentary duo. Absolutely ridiculous delay
Edit: FINALLY live here http://www.jeuxvideo.com/gaming-live/rof_01.htm
I've been seeing more K Rool talk these days actually.

Not usually. They're just heavy metal balls used to punch holes in wooden ships.

Anyone else hope Rob has a better final smash?

lmao the crowd's like "zzzz pls start the matches already"
I hope rob has a better a lot of things. I never mastered him because I never found him fun to play.

He's fun when you embrace how annoying he is. Some of his tilts are pretty good, and he makes all those hilarious clicking sounds.
The only things I really expect to change for him outside of a final smash are his side B (you can at least make that a little more exciting/useful) and his upB, which I think might have been a little too powerful, and we've already seen Pits change.
He just better be back in the first place, I can't handle another MKDS.
Project M changed those specials quite nicely. Hopefully there's something in the same vein as that, like the changes with Pit, 'cause ROB is awesome.

Rob's final smash was great, no need to change it
That's basically what I mean. His top was thematically the only correct thing rob did, but it was his dumbest move. Waste of time to use for the damage/utility it provided. I also agree that his up B was a bit too powerful, like pit's. It should change to something similar to pit's, or something close to charizard's new side B, or the fire fox.
