Nice and no red box!

 

[Ezalc]

Still pissed by having the Mii have 3 different versions, talk about completely unnecessary. Dark Pit tease at the end just made it worse, gotta love that classic Sakurai favoritism.

 

[munchie64]

Fuck yes!

 

[Ryce]

No? Palutena and Mii have not been particularly unexpected characters.
Seriously guys, take "leaks" with more of a grain of salt.

Sal's latest leak specified Mii as "Mii Fighter," an impossible name to predict. The leak's real.

 

[georly]

Here's single player (classic mode!):

You bet like in kid icarus uprising:

Which changes the difficulty:

You can choose a path, presumably based on difficulty:

You path determines your objective and opponent:

And the reward is randomized, also probably based on difficulty:

 

[tim_pkmn89]

Is the Anime for super smash bros a movie or just cutscenes? Also which version of the game are they for, 3DS or WiiU?

They just had the studio from the Kid Icarus anime do a short for them.

I'm assuming the Invitational will appear on Nintendo's Twitch channel, but apparently there will be a Smash discussion before the tournament as well? Is this correct?

 

[Red Arremer]

I usually do but let's not pretend that these particular two rounds of leaks hadn't been spot on. Because that's exactly what naysayers are doing, as far as I can tell - straight up pretending that the Gematsu leaks didn't happen despite their accuracy up to this point.

Must I mention the unexpected characters that were leaked?

That were 2 separate "leaks". I believe the first one (i.e. pre E3 2013 and only Pac-Man is missing from those). But the second one seems just completely absurd to me, and I won't believe them until Chorus Men are revealed.

Roundtable. After the tournament. No stream.

 

[R0ckman]

Japan gets it a month before the US? Wwwwhhhhhy now the entire roster is going to be leaked before it even comes out.

They're only a month apart, why couldn't they have pulled a same-day release? :/

Not THIS shit again.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

I'm talking about the kind of fanservice that was in the Plautena reveal. Did we really need the TnA shots just so some horny 10 year olds can get their rocks off?

I agree, but this is always a losing fight. I was annoyed by Zelda's silly cleavage in Hyrule Warriors, because it makes no sense and is out of character, but people will always defend it and say we're afraid of females and their bodies.

But yeah, Palutena was pretty hype, and the mii's genuinely blew me away. Was not expecting them to look that fun.


-Saw new trailer for Hyrule Warriors and was wrong, her new design is great, had a knee jerk reaction before because I was expecting her to be Team Ninja fodder.

How does an alt costume detract from the game?

 

[Jaeger]

Megatons.

 

[Solid Samus]

Dude, that doesn't mean anything. Anybody could have guessed that, alongside Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer. They were so obvious. These 'leaks' man they aren't even worth considering despite what a lesser mind might somehow construe as consistent accuracy.

That were 2 separate "leaks". I believe the first one (i.e. and only Pac-Man is missing from those). But the second one seems just completely absurd to me, and I won't believe them until Chorus Men are revealed.

The two separate leaks stem from the same person, though. Fair enough, though. Chorus Men is some weird shit but their inclusion wouldn't surprise me that much at this point.

Can we get a Ref to confirm this! @__@

 

[Kurtofan]

So Miis are considered a single newcomer on the official page, interesting.

 

[Kaljinyu]

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

I like fanservice, but the Nintendo stance on it is bugging me. With Brawl they were high-horsed, saying that they had zero tolerance for any sexually suggestive screenshots being submitted to the site.

And now here we get Palutena's Sacred Treasures up in our computer screens? I'm at work, Sakurai!

I just wish Nintendo would be honest about it once and for all, or some journalist would at least bring up the question.

 

[shelcod]

No? Palutena and Mii have not been particularly unexpected characters.
Seriously guys, take "leaks" with more of a grain of salt.

Plus, the leaker didn't mention that the Mii's are 3 different characters. That was pretty unexpected.

 

[tonyh24613]

Yeah! New avatar!

 

[SliceSabre]

The leaks were real. Why!?

There is no GOD!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

So can you get Pokemon and Assist Trophies as like summons in classic mode?

Because I think that's Gogoat hanging out on the map.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

So Miis are considered a single newcomer on the official page, interesting.

I didn't expect them to be anything else. You probably pick which one you want like you used to in brawl for pt and zelda

 

[Omzz]

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.

and no one cared

 

[Beelzebufo]

Dude, that doesn't mean anything. Anybody could have guessed that, alongside Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer. They were so obvious. These 'leaks' man they aren't even worth considering despite what a lesser mind might somehow construe as consistent accuracy.

Just to be sure... This is a joke post right? I'm pretty sure it is.

 

[Starphoenix]

Not sure why anyone is upset about the roster if, according to Sal, Nintendo is planning post-launch character DLC for the game.

 

[GamerSoul]

agreed. I'm not shitting on the rumor but I need to see it to believe it.

Wii Fit Trainer looks like her standard render. Bit lazy that.

 

[georly]

Rules don't have 'assist trophy switch' or 'pokeball switch' as some were hoping. Looks about right.

Also, you can turn customizations off here! (I wonder if that affects miis)

 

[CaptainSchwann]

Hey so I still don't see the home page of the Smash site updated with the newcomers...does this mean we have another announcement left?

 

[SmithnCo]

#TEAMREAL WINS

Delusional as always, team real.

 

[ChrisD]

Palutena's face looks strange. It's so texture-less, like she's had plastic surgery.

She really does look out of place. The face just clashes with everyone else. She didn't look that weird in Uprising, either.

 

[Kaljinyu]

Not sure why anyone is upset about the roster if, according to Sal, Nintendo is planning post-launch character DLC for the game.

Planned DLC? I really want to like Nintendo's showing this year.

 

[BassForever]

Where is this newest sal leak that called mii fighter before its official name was shown?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

So Miis are considered a single newcomer on the official page, interesting.

I didn't expect them to be anything else. You probably pick which one you want like you used to in brawl for pt and zelda

Plus you can probably make more than 3

 

[Dr. Buni]

Woah <3

 

[XenodudeX]

When is the smash bros tournament?

 

[theprodigy]

Troll bait only works when a post isn't so terribly stupid that people just shrug it off and move on

Just thought you might want that info for future reference

It clearly worked, given that everyone felt the need to respond to it.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

I'm talking about the kind of fanservice that was in the Plautena reveal. Did we really need the TnA shots just so some horny 10 year olds can get their rocks off?

Not sure why you're complaining when you should have fully known the fanservice flood gates were completely open once ZSS was revealed.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Dat 3DS box art!

 

[DaBoss]

So the model has been changed up which means the bet is a draw.

Looks sick.

Not sure why anyone is upset about the roster if, according to Sal, Nintendo is planning post-launch character DLC for the game.

According to Sal? Link?

EDIT: nvm

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I am in shock. The Miis actually look fucking great and Palutena looks amazing

 

[Red Arremer]

When is the smash bros tournament?

In 5.5 hours from now.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Where is this newest sal leak that called mii fighter before its official name was shown?

A few pages back. It basically just lists the remaining newcomers (same as before), says Lucas might be cut, and DLC is planned.

 

[BGBW]

YO YO YO YO YOOOOOOOOOOO! Stop the presses!

HATS!

 

[Neoxon]

Loving the box art.

Any link to the new Sal info?

 

[Loco4Coco]

I'm not 10.

 

[OricWindstar]

Oh my God, those are amazing!!!!

 

[Gartooth]

Sweet, buying that bundle with Smash and the GameCube controller!

Mii is crazy, way better than I expected. I thought it'd all be based off of Wii Sports and stuff but it actually looks pretty unique!

Also in regards to Dark Pit, my guess is that it will still be a color swap for Pit but in that color we will get Dark Pit's VA and dialogue which is good for me!

 

[Diddy Kong]

[Save 'N Quit]

3DS looks to have the superior cover art.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

I thought these were project names but I guess they're actually the final names? Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U is the actual name? Not a fan of the names.
