Dr. Mario won't be in the game unless he's a separate character again, and I really don't see that happening. It's one thing for a fan mod to include him as an alternate costume, but I don't think Sakurai would feel comfortable unless Dr. Mario had his own name and taunts -- at which point the character's more of a clone and less of a costume. Male/female Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, and Robin make perfect sense as costumes because both genders fulfill the same role in their source material, but platforming Mario and his doctor persona have different enough characterizations to warrant being separate characters.

Sakurai specifically mentioned that alternate costumes could change name and voice in his article about Chrom and Lucina's addition though. And, yet, at this point, we don't know any that change the name - in fact, even his examples didn't mention any. However, the fact that he mentioned name alongside voice really suggests that we'll see alternate costumes that change the name of the selected character.

Considering that, I think Dr.Mario is a possibility.

Daisy seems like a really obvious one.

Blood Falcon should be obvious but probably won't happen.

I'd say the most likely candidate for that is Dark Pit, considering the tease.
 
Temple and Fountain of Dreams. Temple and Fountain of Dreams.
At most, there's only 6 weeks left before the 3DS version goes gold. Probably closer to 4 or 5.

Temple would be a Wii U stage. No way that's fitting on a 3DS screen.

And yeah, I'm expecting the first legit leaks (read: real pictures of the roster and such) to start coming out in late August/early September.

Yeah, same here. I wonder if there'll be any leaks that no one expected to be real that actually ended up being real in hindsight like there were with Brawl.

I really hope one of the upcoming pic of the days reveals a Final Destination-mode toggle for local multiplayer. I'm sure there'll be something like that, but I really wanna see it already.

EDIT: Also, what if they did something unique with Temple and made it so that the screen focused on who you're playing as? They did mention wanting to do unique things like that with 3DS stages, and we've already seen some examples of it.
 
Not expecting too much out of the next two weeks aside from maybe a veteran or stage. I think we'll see a trickle of info like always, but then get a massive info dump the next time a Nintendo Direct comes around similar to April's Smash Direct where we got veterans, newcomers, stages, features, etc.

I still think Comiccon is too rich of an opportunity for nothing to come out of it. Be it a veteran like Snake or a surprise newcomer that's more relevant to western interests...what can I say, I dare to dream!
 
40 daily images/55 days till Japanese launch/74 days until German launch/75 days until worldwide launch.
Might be off on the Japanese launch due to timezones.
 
So jealous of everyone who got to play this early. I wanted to go to the Best Buy E3 event but Nintendo screwed me over this year by moving away the only nearby location (got to play 3DW and TF last year!) to one that was 3 hours away on the other side of the state. :(

Going to be playing Smash 3DS and maybe Wii U this week.

Anything want testing?

Try playing as Ganondorf through Random select. :p
 
We're getting a new Smash in 3 months.

Feels like Brawl took so much longer to come out.

It really does feel that way. As someone mad hyped for the 3DS version, this is absolutely dope. I'm sure having it will make the wait for the Wii U version much more bareable
 
So unless Sakurai teases something for Comic-Con I wouldn't expect any reveals this week.

This should be a general rule really.
However, he didn't hype up Famitsu, and that gave us Lucina's mask changing, so maybe there'll be some small things like that.
 
Anyone who gets a chance to play Smash Run in the demo, please please please try to note what custom moves you collected. It tells you on the bottom screen what you've collected iirc.

Speaking of which, the method used to switch to the mask would have been a perfect way to implement costumes too similar to the standard to occupy a second slot. Helmetless Megaman, Samus and Captain Falcon; Masked Dedede...
 
It really does feel strange thinking that a new Smash is that close to release. It (suddenly) doesn't even feel like that much time has passed since Brawl. You know better, but it just doesn't hit you that it's been six years thinking about it like this.
