3DS confirmed for best character select screen: holy shit!

Need more gameplay. Nobody is bothering uploading any lol

Hey guys, I know the tournament is in less than two hours, but when is the roundtable?

 

[Spinluck]

I wonder if he even wanted to add Sonic in Brawl really. They fact that he was in last, his treatment and some of Sakurai's comments, really makes me wonder, even if I hate him now.

In a long in depth interview, Sakurai has stated he has no favorites, and that he treats all of the characters like his own. He has said that people have suspected of making Kirby characters better than the rest, so he now takes this viewpoint of on the games characters so he doesn't end up favoring them in anyway. I believe him, even though MK was broken.

Sonic was thrown into Brawl last minute, and even in this most of his moveset seem the same. I don't really see anything going on here that would suggest he has a resentment for the character. Especially since there were actually worse characters in Brawl.

 

[solomon]

How much time left for invitational?

About 2 house, also yeah Fox doesn't seem like he will be very good, lots of lag on kill moves and apparently can't jump out of shield. pretty much copy and paste from brawl.

 

[Baleoce]

That amiibo feature;

What happens if you're not playing on the gamepad, but your friend is? How are you supposed to activate your amiibo?

 

[NotLiquid]

Re:Sonic's change of color, in the recent Sonic games that have multiplayer, the second players control a differently colored Sonic. Maybe that's why they decided to give him different colors this time.

Speaking of Sonic, any impressions yet of people who've played him?

What? That looks terrible.

 

[Anbec7]

So... is the tournament going to be streamed on the same Twitch channel of the Treehouse? or in another one?

I think the loading screen they used for Smash Run was much better.

Same one.

 

[PadWarrior]

The round table is not being streamed?

Treat the characters like his own....i demand a roster full of metaknights.

... Double gamepad support confirmed?

 

[nns3d]

I'm definitely gonna be rocking Purple Sonic when the game comes out

 

[PreyingShark]

Same channel.

Oops didn't notice lol, my hype

You sure this is a punishment? I actually like pony palutena lol.

 

[Axass]

Lol

I'm a sucker for colored squares, the sun one doesn't do anything for me.

The round table is not being streamed?

Round tables have never been streamed. They will be live blogged, though.

 

[SuperSah]

Since nobody wants to upload 3DS footage, are there any new screenshots or...?

 

[IntelliHeath]

You sure this is a punishment? I actually like pony palutena lol.

Well, I already said that most of my avatars wouldn't be punishment. It's a sign of my victory.

PALUTENA! BELIEVE! AND SHE CAME AND SERVED!

 

[Beelzebufo]

That 3DS select screen looks like it was made with the SmashBoards roster maker.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Anyone else expecting another "surprise" reveal with Sakurai later?

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Hey guys, is there anywhere to constantly watch people playing? Or a big collection of footage from matches so far?

 

[SkullHydra]

Well, I already said that most of my avatars wouldn't be punishment. It's a sign of my victory.

PALUTENA! BELIEVE! AND SHE CAME AND SERVED!

I like that, since I'm totally going to end up losing our bet. Lol.

 

[TomShoe]

Lol

I'm a sucker for colored squares, the sun one doesn't do anything for me.

Also make sure you PM me your avatar for the bet.

 

[Axass]

Tom Shoe, here is your avatar since I haven't seen anyone take action to give you an avatar so I'm giving it to you for two weeks.

I was too busy drooling over the Treehouse demos, will give him his new avatar once the two weeks are over.

 

[PadWarrior]

Who does the blogging?

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Lol

Yeah, I definitely like these colored backgrounds better, especially for Zelda. But why do Greninja and Villager have green backgrounds? Villager should be red and Greninja pale blue.

 

[Berordn]

Who does the blogging?

Most major press sites, a bunch of people on Twitter as well.

 

[Axass]

Also make sure you PM me your avatar for the bet.

Will do,

Spoiler

tomorrow

[PreyingShark]

Who does the blogging?

We already know NoA will. Somebody else probably will, too.

Did not know this well that's upsetting

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Damn, that's a legit nice avatar.

 

[Xeroblade]

Anyone else expecting another "surprise" reveal with Sakurai later?

We can only hope. but yes i believe!

 

[Kings fan]

Yo that 3DS menu looks sweet. Reminds me of the old school character select screen from the original Smash on 64. Nice homage for old school fans.

 

[Moonlight]

So is there anything that Smash is being viewed? Treehouse only has Hyrule Warriors.

 

[Axass]

Yeah, I definitely like these colored backgrounds better, especially for Zelda. But why do Greninja and Villager have green backgrounds? Villager should be red and Greninja pale blue.

Greninja is light blue, it's just covered, so it seems green. Villager has always had a green background.

[A Pretty Panda]

I am sorry, but I would hate if all characters were available at start. The more unlockable characters, the better.

GTFO with that unlockable character hate. One of the best parts of Smash for me

Why?

MK8 has unlockable characters.

MK8's unlocks with the exception of I think Rosalina and Metal Mario are purely cosmetic.Roy Koopa has the same exact top speed, accel, handling, weight, and traction as Donkey Kong. Rosalina and Metal Mario don't have any equivalents in the starting characters.

If I really want to play as Greninja and he's unlockable, I'll have to play with dumb ass whoever character first to play him, and that sucks.

"purely cosmetic" who cares if they're the same, characters are fun. I love unlocking the characters; it's one of my favorite parts.
