Most of the guys on the list are top level. The girls should all be decent enough to hold their own in a new game without much experience.

I'm pretty happy with it. It's got a good variety of play styles represented.
Good to hear, hopefully well get to witness some awesome matches!
Ehhh if that one is not real there are plenty others too..
I wouldn't be surprised if Mew2King is not invited because all of the stuff that happened recently, in particular revealing part of his contract with CT and EMP and how much he is getting paid (you dont do this, period) and all the drama that came with it.

If real, my question is why not Hungrybox?
Like PP he doesn't have any issues to deal with.

Only one I know on that list Ken. Then again I don't really follow the tournament scene.

Isn't he missing a tournament soon because of an internship in Arizona? Not sure if it's SKTAR or what, but since E3 is during the week that seems like a totally valid reason to miss.
Plus, we don't know Nintendo's reasoning for their picks anyway.
Overall, I'm satisfied with that rumored selection. It's not ideal, but since it's a whole new game they only need a strong working knowledge anyway, which they all seem to have. I'm pretty hyped to watch (if true).
Might be busy with school. Chemical engineering is no joke.
Well, they would have to deal with all the salt..
But seriously, maybe some of them just cant make it. Also, I wonder how they will deal with the fact some of this guys are sponsored, would they call the name of the sponsors too?

So, with the new Pushmo game coming out (which apparently is super popular in Japan), what are the odds of a character from that showing up in Smash, playable or otherwise? I'm not really familiar with the series, so I don't know if there would even be playable character material there.

Yeah I could easily see M2K not making it in. I knew some of the things regarding him but not everything I just looked up.
I say let him be a Smash king elsewhere.

I would bet on an assist trophy. No way he's playable.
The emp stuff?
Or just him ?
I am not up on everything he has done, I just know some people find him annoying.
Maybe I'm being narrow-minded, but I literally cannot fathom how Mallo could possibly be represented as a fighting character. His skillset is literally only pushing and pulling blocks. I just can't see how they can get anything compelling out of that.
A Pushmo stage would be fucking amazing, though.

I'm not sure what emp means. But maybe I can answer anyway.
I heard about the Japan trip but I just read about him(if my understanding is correct) throwing games and splitting the prize money with the winner and few other similar incidents. I can't stand that kind of thing. If he's not in good riddance to bad rubbish.

well-publicized
particularly criticized
some observers claimed
Holy shit. Is it wrong that I find this absolutely hilarious for all the wrong reasons? Its written like its some kind of international incident. Smash Bros. serious business.

Isn't Mew2king the one who basically cheated/stole the pots for a few tournaments? Or was that someone else?

So I finally tried out Yoshi's Island DS after much curiosity due to the release of the 3DS one. It's been really cool to see where all of his SSB attacks and what not come from.
The game is also really fun. I regret not picking it up sooner.

Ah collusion , well spooky wasn't there to set things right.
As far as EMP goes, from what I a understand its a group of fighting game people some type company or what not, gets sponsers that kind of thing. Who, from what I understand aren't exactly on the up and and up and may have forced M2K into some deals he does not want to be in, a long with weird things involving player payouts.

Mallo would fit in fine, I think. I mean, he won't be in, but he's a sumo wrestler in a sumo game, I doubt it would be hard to give him a moveset.
Its how we could get mike ross to play smash.
He can't get him cheddah Geif. Get him honda.

Nonsense, Mallo would be an easy character to make a unique moveset for, especially since he's based on a sumo wrestler. Such a fighting style would actually make him quite unique as a character, acting as the Japanese foil to the Western boxer, Little Mac.
He is also a cat.

I just looked it up, it was him. He was banned from MLG for it, apparently.

The stuff about M2K throwing matches and splitting winnings isn't really relevant to this invitational, though, since there's no money on the line (right?)
Excellent game. Some of those secret stages are crazy difficult, though.

splitting=/=stealing money from the pot
All Captain Falcon ever did is drive a car. I not saying Mallo will or should get in but Sakurai is a very imaginative individual and probably could come up with a moveset for any character.
And yes a Pushmo stage would be great!

I mean it's still pretty terrible. He's kind of a terrible person, if I were Nintendo I wouldn't want him anywhere near my event, even without the futon story.
Plus it was so many years ago, and there are more recent stories about him rejecting this to the very same players that "presured" (acording to him) to do it long ago.
I think he came out and said that a lot of people like chillin and chu manipulated him into pot splitting so he could stay friends with them.
Edit:I'm pretty sure Ken and maybe 1 or 2 others on that list also pot split before.

Rad. I'm excited for that, then. The controls are super nice, too.

Did they come out and say that they did that, or are we supposed to just take his word for it?
theprodigy
Member
uh, where'd you get that from
Yes, at bar wars chillin and chu tried to get him to split, but he got fed up and said no.
That is also Lolo's skill set.
I'm just glad Nintendo's not really homophobic, and I guess we can't talk about digimon here no more.
Edit:
I think it was a meleeitonme podcast about tournament safety. I think it may be around the time the terrible kk news came out.
Spliting is not bad in itself, it can help some players to get some extra money to get to the next tournament, Ken (yes, the one is on the list) said on the documentary that he and his teammate Isai used to split the money all the time to travel to the next tournament.
The problem with splitting comes from boring matches, when the players are spliting they tend to not try and this makes for boring matches that the audience hates, no one wants to see that and the TOs and Sponsors get pissed. If they just played to win, no one would even question if or why are they pot splittng. No one would know.
I dont even understand how that would come up at all, like no one would find out anyways unless he tells to the stream. It's irrelevant.
I...think? Hard to see with such a small image, but I definitely remember a POTD with outlines disabled.
hmm, i think they're still on, you can notice around the boots and samus' shoulder
