Oooh, that's a great idea! He shows up enough that people would be able to recognize it too. That might be a good pick for the next game? It might be a little too recent.

I love the idea of a Chozodia stage, but how does Phendrana not represent the Metroid series?
You have ancient ruins, Ridley and Chozo statues on a desolate alien world. It's certainly more representative of the series as a whole than Orpheon or the generic Brawl Norfair, and the ice theme also helps to differentiate it from previous Metroid stages, as well as representing an aspect of the series' environments that tends to be equally prominent as volcanic areas.

Sorry ice stages are Ice Climbers thing.
That would be such a damn good stage. I don't like the previous Metroid stages in Smash, honestly, with the exception of Brinstar Depths, so I'd love for it to finally have one I like.

Heh? Are they claiming to be a leaker? Because the exact same post was posted a week ago.
Mentions of Dark Pit and Bandanna Dee sure are trendy.

While it would by no means be a bad pick, I just don't really remember it being that important. Like I would love to see it, but it really wasn't even all that important in Prime, and we never saw it again, you know? It's sort of hard to explain, I just can't see Sakurai picking it for some reason. Something with Phazon has the edge over it in my mind because of Phazon's significance to the Prime series, and something like Chozodia has an edge over it because its so important to Samus's past. It doesn't help that Prime came out more than ten years ago now.
But then again, they did pick Opheon... so who knows! And now we're getting Pyrosphere, which if it wasn't picked for a Ridley boss fight, must have just been picked because it was the place with lava. Brawl really should have had Phendrana over Opheon, that would have made a nice pair of stages.
I think you're joking, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was something Sakurai considers. Maybe fire stages are Metroid's "thing"? Maybe that's why there's no Bowser's Castle lol.
There are still tons of characters who could be great in Hyrule Warriors: Xtreme Legends or Hyrule Warriors 2:
Bring back all of the HW1 characters, add more costumes and moves, add online co-op and versus, add the ability to switch characters on the battlefield and to swap in characters mid-combo, add the ability to issue orders to AI allies, and of course increase the variety of enemies, bosses, subweapons, etc.
Could be grand!

Phendranna Drifts is super-memorable. I doubt as many people remember Chozodia from Zero Mission.

I said wow
Interesting...
Considering that they revealed all playable characters prior to the game's release, I wonder if Sakurai is planning on doing the same thing for Smash 4/5.
Thanks, I'm here til Thursday, don't forget to tip your waitress

Probably because it comes earlier in the game, and because one's in Metroid Prime. I doubt many people can forget Chozodia after getting that far in Zero Mission. That whole section is the closest the games have ever come to giving Samus some real backstory, which is kinda cool.
tipping discussion? tipping discussion
Currently tipping for a shiny furfrou....
Has it ever been confirmed that tipping makes it more likely for you to get a shiny?
Why would Phendrana Drifts not be a good representation of the franchise? It's hardly the only snowy area in Metroid, and we've gotten our fill of lava for the past three Smashes. If anything, the best way to represent Metroid is to show the diversity of its worlds, because they are very diverse and that diversity has not been shown in the Smash Bros series.
I've been saying this for months now. They did with Mario Kart 8 too, and Sakurai said there isn't many trailers left. I think people are gonna be shocked on what little is left.

I've heard rumors, but they only serve to exacerbate my frustration at being unable to find any shinies. *(
I know. Part of me is still just holding out hope that Sakurai won't spoil all the fun for us players.
That's what leaks are for! 
Are you shitting me?
We've had three games set on Zebes and an assload of references to Zebes. We even revisited the planet after they blew it up in Super Metroid.
No, the Metroid series needs to stay far away from Zebes. Stop revisiting old worlds and use your creativity to make some damn new ones, Nintendo.

and if that Gematsu leak has anything else left in it, hopefully DLC.

See, when I think of Metroid I think of inhospitable environments. This often includes:
1. Abandoned space stations
2. Volcanic areas
3. Acid-filled caverns
4. Ruins
5. And of course, frigid cold
Eh. I believe in Sakurai. He didn't reveal a lot of things pre-release in any games of his for the last ~13 years, why would he quit that now?

Obviously not real, but damn if I wouldn't be 100% happy with every single thing mentioned there. I guess I don't really care for Ghirahim as a newcomer, but whatever, I'd take him along with everything else in that fake leak.
Really hope this thread gets back on track after the horrible last few pages.
Because it's Nintendo who is marketing these games. Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors have done it and I wouldn't be surprised if Smash followed suit.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Like I'm one of those people who would take any of the Prime games over even Super Metroid any day of the week... but we already have one Metroid stage that's not on Zebes, I don't think we'll get a game completely without them.
I'm thinking they'll do this with newcomers, but unless there's a massive Smash Direct soon I don't think they'll reveal all the veterans. And if they do... why isn't Game and Watch on the website yet?
Also, speaking of stages, when was the last time we saw this one? Pikmin doesn't get enough love.

What everyone has to remember about Hyrule Warrios is that each different weapon type is basically a different character. They could have taken the Fire Rod and Ball & Chain off of Link and given them to two other characters instead and it really wouldn't have changed anything from a gameplay stand point just a presentation one. With all those different play styles for each character the number of unique move sets is really going to be 30+ which is plenty for the first installment of a cross over musou game.
Really the only disappointing thing is that

Sakurai always revealed secret characters after its first region of release, though.
True but I'm remaining skeptical considering how recent Nintendo Directs (which are a fairly new thing) have a been.

Didn't Mario Kart always do that too? Until they didn't? I could be wrong.

Mario Kart is also a significantly more casual experience. Smash rosters are an event.

Meta Knight to be next veteran?
We've had three games in a row with Zebes stages. For God's sake, give Zebes a rest. The majority of the Metroid games don't take place on Zebes, why do we have to have a Zebes stage?
There are a ton of Metroid areas covered in plant life though.
Like Brinstar, the place that looked like a barren lava pit in the past three Smash games.

Agree, I honestly expect all the newcomers to be revealed before launch, with the remaining newcomers probably being Shulk and a RH character. The only thing we may not get 100% confirmed before launch are all the veterans, even then I can still see them being announced/revealed but still have to unlock them ala Mario Kart 8

Exactly. 2 and 3 have been done multiple times in Smash (functionally, there isn't much different between acid and lava; compare Brinstar and Norfair,) and 1 has kind of been done with Frigate Orpheon, though I wouldn't complain if GFS Valhalla is a stage. But Phendrana Drifts gives you 4 and 5 together, and it's totally different from any Metroid stage that's been in thus far. Plus, you get that awesome music.
That's true. Torvus Bog would be another good pick.
That's my stance on it. Besides, If I'm wrong that just means more surprises on my part
