Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 10: Against the Odds, We Choose to Hype!

I thought it was crazy that this thread moved so fast. So to put it in perspective, I checked how fast the other threads moved:

We're outpacing the E3 and Smash Direct threads. O.O To be fair, those generally got split between threads though. Still, I'm surprised this thread is a ahead. I guess it's from generally good pics of the day and being really close tor release.

And just for the sake of it, I made a chart with some of that info. I left out thread 10 since it's not complete yet though.

Not only this thread is almost 3x faster than the 2nd fastest, but the average post/time now (that already slowed down) is higher than the avg post/time of almost any other thread.
 
That's from a batch of old avatars I made when we got our first official renders. Those are saved on a cloud drive (for some reason). The Palutena avatar I've been sporting since E3 isn't.

So until I get home you'll have to bear with this Marth avatar instead. I'll be able to change my avatar in pretty much exactly 169 minutes. Until then...deal with it :P

ok, well you said earlier you couldn't change your avatar from the Palutena one and you did, so idk

Well, If we managed to complete this before any character reveal then OT10 will be FIRST thread to not have any reveals happening during it's span.

I think a big part of this will be because we went through this thread so quickly
 
Well...there's the fact that that there are multiple ridleys sooo...other m Roidley on pyrosphere and regular ridley as playable like the other toon link on spirit tracks.

Oh god, I really hope I don't have to see Other M Ridley ever again.

This is how I felt. Then I saw the mounting evidence that he is probably playable and swapped back. If he ends up not being playable that will have been a huge troll move by Sakurai.

What "mounting evidence"? He was teased as a stage obstacle.

can't wait for the 10th thread av. post per day :lol
 
I thought the POTD tease when Pyrosphere was revealed would have killed it. How foolish of me.

As someone who is pretty indifferent about Ridley, even I find it suspicious that Sakurai only ever showed his shadow. If he's just a boss, why all the mystery? Sakurai has shown that he's willing to tease characters without confirming them a la Game and Watch, so there's precedent.

Well, Thread 7 and Thread 9 nearly have no characters but we got character revaels at it's nearly end.

We got Ike in Thread 7 @ 18966 post
We got Robin/Lucina/Cap Falcon in Thread 9 @ 18993 post

QUICK! IF WE GO THROUGH THESE THREADS EVEN FASTER SAKURAI WILL HAVE TO REVEAL MORE CHARACTERS!!!

I understand this reason and I don't think it's without merit, but my problem with it is that a lot of Ridley supporters use it as evidence when it's not. I can't say I know why, but concluding that he must be saving him for an unexpected character reveal is not the only thing you can or should conclude from his teasing.

Is anyone using this:

I hope everyone has a Smash avatar by Neorice one day.

I was at one point, but not anymore. I'm pretty sure nobody else is.
 
Can someone post the image to remind me which veterans are still missing? I know you guys have it. :P

I kinda hope they save about 5 of them and just have a solid week of character reveals, shortly before launch. But hopefully enough before launch that everything hasn't already leaked.

For the most part, it's based on huge assumptions and that Sakurai is a troll. Almost conspiracy-level tier. For example, look at this.
He could be in but it's all up in the air right now. Less than 8 weeks to go.

The snow planet, Fichina (which hilariously enough was mistaken as Fortuna in English version of SF64). Assault did create a new planet called Fortuna.

Interesting that it's using the Assault Arwing designs despite the fact that we've already seen that Fox uses the N64 Arwing design for his entrance

So that's an interesting bit of incongruity.

If the stage is set across the back of the ship like Sector Z/Corneria one thing to note that will make it very different from those stages is the fact that the Star Fox Assault Great Fox design lacks the long tail section, which is a little hard to make out in today's screenshot.

The jets come right out the back:

So that's different.

They seemingly reduced the thruster effect on the back, so there might still be some walkable area there, just reduced compared to the others. The central fin also seems to be smaller too, likely to make movement easier.
 
SmashGaf why are we so crazy?

There are tons of reason's we're outpacing the other threads.

1. smash direct was split between 2 threads.
2. E3 had 'gematsu leak' characters and not much else that was surprising, also somewhat split between threads
3. 'Robin Monday' gave us unpredictable content reveals, dismissing the gematsu leak, giving us lucina as our first full-fledged clone newcomer, AND the rayman trophy, sparking a debate about ubisoft's inclusion. Robin's moveset was also a complete mystery (where does levin sword go, how do you get tomes back, etc) -but discussion about that died by wed.
4. Captain falcon! Captain falcon gifs! Another 'original 4 unlockable' revealed before launch. Potential for other 'unannounced veterans' to be revealed in future newcomer trailers.
4. We're super close to launch! Tons of events coming up soon, like comiccon and the UK thing.
 
Oh yeah, haha, forgot that Famitsu puts up a preview.

There's still hope for something interesting then...maybe Famitsu will go into detail on the SF stage?

That works, thanks!

We have about ~38 more pics of the day. I hope 11 of them are vets. But I'm guessing we'll get 3 or 4 of those and just unlock the rest when we play.

I wonder how potd will be after the 3DS release. Will we keep getting it? (Probably.) Will it focus on Wii U specific features/stages I wonder, or just keep showing off characters and items that maybe we already know about? Maybe it will even focus sometimes on 3DS user submitted content. I probably won't care because I'll be playing the game.
 
Man, still can't believe we haven't seen the Tomadachi Stage in full...not even when the game came out in the US.

*looks at picture*

well, it's good to be passionate about something

I'll gladly eat crow if Ridley's playable, I just don't see it
