Don't worry, he's too busy writing his K Rool x Candy Kong fanfic to hold a grudge.
To be fair, there's a lot of DK mythology to keep up with.

Just a couple days ago wasn't someone on here, not exactly shitting on them, but saying that the guys on the Bombcast don't seem too knowledgeable about Smash?
Maybe, but I didn't see it. I don't really expect the bigger sites to know every game down to the smallest detail. They're mainly news sites, so just get the news right (in other words, don't take a random GAF post as truth) and I'll be happy. Sorry to get slightly off topic, I just can't stand the way sites like IGN or Kotaku try and make up news to fill headlines...

They were discussing Lucina and Robin's introduction. They identified Lucina as the daughter of Marth and Robin and attributed the inclusion of two Fire Emblem characters to Nintendo being out of characters otherwise, since it's not like Awakening set the world on fire.
...then again, that's pretty bad!

Can't even imagine the time travel shenanigans needed to create this lol.
 
If there was a delay I could see it like this:
3DS December
Wii U February.
These would be for NA.

But the supposed delay was just for the 3DS version, right? If it's true, I figure it'd be something like

3DS: November (could vary from territory to territory, but still within the same month)
Wii U: December

...she....she calls Chrom her father in the reveal trailer.
 
"Pic of the day. We worked hard to keep the Yellow Devil looking sharp for the 3DS version! Better keep on your toes."

"Pic of the day: In Brawl you could make the stage load faster by changing alt colors while hovering over the character before selecting. In this version, there's no need for it! We took care of any delay of getting you right into the battle."
 
What's all this talk about a delay?
There is no talk. Some guy knows a guy who knows a guy who works in an office beside the guy who works on Smash thinks that it might get delayed. And another dude heard it from some person on Smashboards who knows some stuff.

naturally this means that smash is definitely delayed

so basically

"After various feedback from events, we have decided to remove the yellow devil from the megaman stage... and make it a playable character instead! Unfortunately to accommodate a change of this magnitude we had to drop Ridley"

The sad thing is that this gif could describe literally any time I walk into smashgaf.

Megaman gets 2 playable reps? Nintendo truly is spoiling him unlike capcom.

I see... no cause for alarm then.

(grumbles)
 
They don't really care for it except probably Dan, who will likely be handling the quick looks when the games come out I'd guess.

Already a upgrade on Patrick "I know I should care about this game considering my interests, but I can't care to" Klepek's quick looks! =P
 
Zzzzzz inferior 3DS version being the only way to play smash this year would make me emo

Hopefully Wii u version makes it out this year, with addition of 3DS stages when linking both versions B^)


Then I can resell 3DS version, do it Sakurai

I thought one of them said wii u as well?
 
If nintendo is smart they will reveal mewtwo and then quickly flash wii u version early 2015. The blow wouldn't be so bad. This is of course if the delay is true.
 
I should've been more clear with my question, I meant like who is participating?

It's it just random people playing now?

What's the ruleset?

Will it be streamed?

When is it?
 
Here are my thoughts on a potential maybe possible delay:

If it's for balance and mechanic changes (dat landing lag), then I appreciate the gesture, but just release a patch. I mean, even if there are some things that aren't perfect, it'll be nice to at least have the game in our hands. No sense in delaying a game that's planned to have patches just to tweak it a little bit more. I mean, right? If a game is destined to be patched, why delay it just to do what a patch would do?

Same goes for characters that need some more work. As long as those characters end up being released as DLC and not scrapped altogether, then I say just release game and distribute those characters later.

I mean, unless the game is broken to the point of being unplayable, I say just release the damn thing and have the holiday season you need to have if you're Nintendo. The bits that need polish will be patched and distributed later, and it'll be okay.

Plus, I need this fucking game and Amiibos before 2015. Please Sakurai.

"Pic of the day. Look who's making his triumphant return - it's Mewtwo! He was late to the party last time, so now he's not holding back! (P.S. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will now be released on January 21, 2015.)"
 
Smash 3DS advertisements are out in full force here in Japan, aside from television commercials. I highly doubt there's going to be a delay.

Took the liberty to add some fixes.

Here's your answer to bolded questions

And I believe the tournament will be streamed

"Here's Ridley, in exchange, Smash Bros will be delayed until Summer 2015"-Sakurai

From IGN:

Nintendo will host its first ever Super Smash Bros. tournament for the 3DS at San Diego Comic-Con. The event will take place on July 25th at the Nintendo Gaming Lounge, starting at noon.

Competitors will begin the preliminary round in groups of four, where they will battle it out. The winner of each group will advance to the final round, consisting of a series of one-on-one battles. The tournament is a first-come, first-served basis, and will have limited slots. Interested fans can sign up the day of the event at the Marriott Marquis & Marina.

And it will be streamed on Nintendo's Twitch channel.
 
I bet Sakurai got permission to use Rayman as a playable character from Ubisoft a couple of days ago and that's why he's delaying the game.

He's now a playable boss in Final Destination. Even in For Glory and can't be toggled off.

Can you imagine how mad people would be?
 
I feel like I made this thread implode; sorry!
I just passed on all that he told me. He seemed like it was really tough there right now.

Not that I support it, but it's probably just crunch time :/

Echoing other members, it's getting CMs all over the place right now so I doubt a delay is on the cards.
 
There is no way in hell that either version will get delayed. There are already a ton of 9/13 ads all over Japan. Nintendo has no big title for Wii U this winter except for Smash. They're not going to ride out on Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta. Nintendo makes a lot of head-scratching and DUMB decisions, but no way they would let their premier title for their struggling console slip past the holiday season.

It's not your fault. It's the the nature of the smash cycle. yea it definitely sounds like it's crunch time. I think Namco Bandai was the perfect choice to help create Smash since they have a lot of experience with fighting games but developing two games simultaneously would probably be rough for any team.

"Last pic of the day! Here is a group shot of the entire cast including bosses! If you notice I used the clouds to hide some of the unrevealed characters. See ya in 2015!"
 
Is it bad that I'm actively hoping the Japanese release for the 3DS version is delayed to October 3rd? It's going to be so hard resisting spoilers for those 3 weeks. :(
