Damn, I didn't hear about that. That's really stupid, I thought from that initial screenshot too that he was going to bring down the moon. Total waste of an assist trophy... oh well here is hoping to Hyrule Warriors.

They were both being presented as the fourth entries in the series, and they have enough shared content and mechanics to still get people to ask what's different between them. It makes perfect sense for it to be a pun, internal differences or not.

That would definitely be an improvement, but it still seems like a colossal waste to put in Skull Kid and have him do anything other than drop the moon.
Yes please!

As in "Heathcliff"
it was shown during Smash Direct, so you can see his effect if you want to check it out.
we haven't seen skull kid in demo I think.

Can you link to something that makes this fact instead of speculation?

Speaking of ATs, I don't suppose the Chunky Kong rumor has been substantiated, has it?

You know what music is really great, and should be in some sort of minigame/side event for smash4 (similar to coin launcher music)

Thanks for the tip, I just double checked and saw it. I've watched the Smash Direct before so I must have not been paying attention when Skull Kid was shown.

I wouldn't object.
He has commented, in a previous interview, that he considers the two versions to be the fourth and fifth entries in the series.
He's also commented that the two versions are being developed in tandem and aren't separate projects, per se.
I wonder if Pokemon B/W will get any recognition in this smash, given that that they came out after Brawl.
Gen 5 had Pokemon's best music. Easily.

1) Ridley or Dark Samus or ANYONE can we get Samus some new more iconic enemies please? Crazy this game has one fucking rep. Especially if FE ends up with three and KI has two now.
2) King K. Rool

For AT...

I like the idea of AT's who talk non-stop during a match about who's playing, whether it's Cranky not knowing what the fuck a 'greninja' is or Goombella giving out friendly advice or Groose going on about how he has a nicer hairdo than both Links.
I vaguely remember hearing the original person claiming this admitted after awhile they made it up, though I'm going off what a friend told me on AIM and I can't be arsed to look through smashboards again. There *was* more than one person claiming they saw him though.
Speaking of which, is that the cracker launcher that shows up at the 48 second mark in the middle of the stage, or DK's coconut gun from DK64? Nobody uses it and it seems too blurry to really make out what it is exactly.

That's a random song to pick for a minigame. Why?
I always thought it was really funny how two of my favorite Pokémon gens (III and V) were kinda ignored in favor of what's new (IV and VI).
not really
Sakurai: We're now going into versions four and five within the series—this is only something that's now possible.
Kotaku: When you say four and five, do you mean the 3DS and Wii U versions? Those are separate?
Sakurai: Yeah, exactly.

So yeah, the "for" is not a "4" pun.

I don't think so. It was just some random dude having fun with K. Rool fans.

Well technically there are two Metroid reps now that Samus and ZSS are separate characters.
Characters:
1. Banjo & Kazooie (so sad that this was likely prior to Rare buyout)
2. Toad / Captain Toad (would prefer a bit of both in the character)
3. Simon Belmont
Assists
1. Hades
2. Trainer Red (at least have him in the game somewhere...)
3. Cranky Kong

Of course not, but it would have been a perfect opportunity to make her into a memorable character instead of making her a completely bland character who exists for no reason other than to pull a really dumb fake ending and then toss her under a bus. What astoundingly wasted potential. After Hades' reveal she essentially ceases to exist save for her completely nonsensical reappearance at the end (which ends in her being brutally ripped apart by Hades, yay!). Her treatment in Uprising will never not bug the bajeezus out of me.
Medusa stuck out like a sore thumb in Kid Icarus as a bland character in a game full of charismatic and funny ones.
That isn't to say that she is a bad character, but she wasn't memorable like a lot of the others. I did love the "final" stage and boss fight with her because it really did feel like the ending of a game until the bait & switch.

Medusa? I thought her boss fight was like the most memorable in the game. That head chasing you was intense.
But yeah, she definitely got undermined. Although Hades made a pretty great villain himself.

She got a decent amount of characterisation, and appeared more often than most other characters in Uprising. The quick shift in focus is more to do with Sakurai's writing style than anything; and I'd be surprised if the next Kid Icarus game, whether sequel or prequel
(I'll never give up hope for Kid Athena)

Thought it wouldnt really work for fighting. Maybe as wait room music or something it might work
I was fine with how they handled Medusa in Uprising. Yeah, she's mainly in the
chapters, but her appearances are memorable, especially the climactic battle against her in
. She's definitely upstaged by the others (who wouldn't be upstaged by Hades?), but I still thought she was a neat character.

Ah kay, assumed an item had spawned there and didn't realize Greninja gets more than one item he uses for substitute.
Way to downplay the significance of her having the first Nintendo sideboob, sheesh.
