Please keep this fan service bull shit out of Smash Sakurai.

 

[PadWarrior]

Was anyone else surprise the 3ds version is now October? I really thought August or September

 

[Violet_0]

this Nintendo Direct just made me sad because Midna isn't a playable character

 

[akidnamededdy]

You think so?

I'm gonna say we'll get one more veteran and that's it. Probably a fan favorite.

 

[Error404SwagNotFound]

Select screen shot:

Nice. Don't see anything new. This is probably the same build that will be used for the tournament.

 

[Galang]

I'm surprised we only got two characters, but I don't think they're done yet. Considering the game is out soon they might as well of went all out

 

[Regulus Tera]

Who's making the thread for the new reveals? Also nobody made a thread for the stage today.

 

[Jintor]

I'm wondering if they have different directors scripting the various trailers, or if Sakurai just consciensely adopts a different style for each one...

Thanks, such a good reveal trailer.

Same. I could understand September, but there's no way October can qualify as "summer."

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Site hasn't updated with mii or palutena yet. Maybe they're not done showing characters?

 

[thenexus6]

So you need these figures to play Smash bros? Or what

 

[MBR]

Nobody talking about the GCN controller announcement + bundle?

I don't understand... Smash is entirely fan service. What's the issue?

 

[PK Gaming]

Saw this on a japanese twitter account, I don't know anything about it

They're from the anime short that SHAFT made.

 

[Berordn]

I'm surprised we only got two characters, but I don't think they're done yet. Considering the game is out soon they might as well of went all out

With the invitational and roundtable later today, they've probably got some more to show. Smash got relatively little time in the direct.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I'm surprised we only got two characters, but I don't think they're done yet. Considering the game is out soon they might as well of went all out

That's probably what he round table is for.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I'm surprised we only got two characters, but I don't think they're done yet. Considering the game is out soon they might as well of went all out

Four characters.

Saw this on a japanese twitter account, I don't know anything about it

It's from the SHAFT anime short released when the game came out.

 

[DrStiles]

Nice. Don't see anything new. This is probably the same build that will be used for the tournament.

Yea it has the 20 characters that are confirmed for the tourney/demo.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I'm PLEASED with 4 CHARACTERS TODAY.

Three move sets of Mii and Palutena.

THATS 4 PLAYABLE CHARACTERS! HOLY SHIT!

Im not watching, is dark pit a separate character?

Well, I suggested Dark Pit long time ago and people are giving me hard time for it. I'm not expecting hint o be playable character but alt costume PLS!

 

[Hatchtag]

I'm surprised we only got two characters, but I don't think they're done yet. Considering the game is out soon they might as well of went all out

I think we're getting one more character for sure. Hope during the tourney, and not during the roundtable. I love Smash, but I also love Fargo, and they're on at the same time .

 

[PadWarrior]

Same. I could understand September, but there's no way October can qualify as "summer."

Yea summer must be different in Japan lol

 

[sonikokaruto]

palutena is real! wtf are you arguing about!?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Waiting for the Mii Fighter and Palutena character pages.

 

[Luqi]

Is the 3DS version really October? Damn that sucks :s

 

[Red Arremer]

So you need these figures to play Smash bros? Or what

Yes.

Spoiler

No. That's just bonus stuff.

 

[NeonZ]

I'm surprised we only got two characters, but I don't think they're done yet. Considering the game is out soon they might as well of went all out

It's only out in October. It makes sense they'd keep a few characters for later, especially veterans for the "pic of the day", but even some newcomers might be held for later too, considering how they'd still have 3 months after E3 and before the launch, so there might be a Direct at some point.

Very good pricing. Very pleased with this.

 

[SmithnCo]

It looks like the symbol only appears during certain moves and not in her idle as in the leak, plus her staff is longer in the trailer and she had the shield strap hanging down.

 

[Jawmuncher]

That moment when you realize the october release just means waiting longer to see if your veteran made it.

 

[R0ckman]

Mii should have been saved for the round table.

 

[ErrorMacro]

I'm a bad enough dude, so I'll take the Palutena one! I don't believe she'll be playable at all, but still, the bet only counts for reveals at E3, right?

Guess I lost lol. I'm kinda glad I did, though....Palutena looks lots of fun to play as, and an alternative to Zelda!

SkullHydra, PM me!

 

[Cse]

Is the Smash Bros Invitational going to be broadcasted on Nintendo's Twitch channel?

 

[J-Tier]

Despite not being super hyped for it, I think Dark Pit will probably happen.

Palutena looks sweet. She has quite the repertoire of moves, but Little Mac is still for me.

 

[ShaoranWright]

They're from the anime short that SHAFT made.

Four characters.

It's from the SHAFT anime short released when the game came out.

Shaft?, no wonder why the fanservice.

Thank for the clarification

 

[Kouichi]

Palutena looks so beautiful

And the Dark Pit tease! It's definitely an alt and I can't wait to see it.

 

[Village]

There is a smash round table before the tourney right?

Not bad.

 

[zroid]

welp that just happened

 

[Boss Doggie]

Where's palutena thread

 

[Loco4Coco]

Select screen shot:

I see RoboCop next to Fox.

 

[Beelzebufo]

He's pretty obviously not happening as playable

 

[WadiumArcadium]

The delay's disappointing. Would have been nice to play it over the summer.

 

[Ithil]

Yeah, I'm out. Palutena and Mii were my two big anti-buys, and now that they're both confirmed, I have no reason to get this game.

Who the heck doesn't buy a fighting game because there's someone on the roster they don't like? Just don't play as them.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

dat bias for TeamLiquid to win Smash

 

[Clefargle]

this Nintendo Direct just made me sad because Midna isn't a playable character

I know the feel....

 

[MadLaughter]

I have been following Smash, not necessarily super hardcore, but I have a question I'm sure has been answered, but I can't find it.

I don't need the figures to unlock the characters, right? Has this been confirmed anywhere?

 

[tonyh24613]

Holy shit!

Oh my!

Cross our fingers for more new reveals later. Anything to take the sting away from October release date.
