Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 12: Gwah, hah. Welcome to the Bowser's game.

I warmed up to the idea of Plusle & Minun upon the realization that they are likely the only cheer squad that had a shot at being playable in Smash :(

They could've even given them Ouendan headbands ;A;
 
Another leak from 4chan on the Smashboards:

No newcomers, but interesting stages. I assume they are all supposed to be for the 3DS version but not quite sure.

Ooh! We needed a Mario Party stage, even if there's no way it'll ever not be banned. My only question is why 3DS? I mean, I can see it thanks to Island Tour, but it's mainly a console series, with 2/12-3/14 on portables (Not sure how to count the e-Reader board game one or the arcade one.) And as weird as the gimmick of the Hades stage is, I can see that being pretty great, too, even if, again, it'd be yet another 3DS Gimmick Level. Besides, the more Hades, the better! I just hope he's playable next time. That Tower stage sounds awful, though; why does Sakurai feel the need to make them? Who even enjoys playing them?! Ugh...

And for the Panel de Pon one... Lip hype, anyone?
But seriously, I love Puzzle League, so it'd be cool to see this IP get some more Smash love; a stage might be cramped, but would definitely be fun.
Game Boy stage is a safe guess and we don't know if it's the new Flat Zone for 100% certainty yet, though, so it may be small, but the grain of salt is still to be had with it.
 
Here's a question: let's say you had to choose one non-videogame character to put into Smash Bros. Who would it be? I honestly hate the idea of that happening, but for the sake of conversation let's run with it.

Honestly, Wreck-It Ralph would be a pretty good candidate; he at least has a connection to the video game world. I guess you could say Captain N would be a funny joke character as well.

Vanellope von schweetz - Ralph appeared in sonic racing when racing is clearly her schtick, so i think it's only fair she represent in a fighting game to balance things out. Also she's clearly the best character in the whole movie :3
Also add me to the Miku Hatsune supporters :D

While I'm not a fan of most of her songs, any song done by Mitchie M is hands down great. More realistically voiced Miku is best Miku.

The concerts themselves are just insane.
I like most vocaloid stuff, but if we're talking about Mitchie M, my fave is this cover of one of Mitchie's songs done with a real singer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8tYORb8xVE

Thanks! Already put it down. If you can give me the name you use on your 3DS and timezone, will be much appreciated! :)

Fake Edit: This goes for everyone who is on this list of future participants.
I'm Gem and I'm GMT/BST +0. Friend code is 3093 - 7057 - 2074.
If anyone adds me, especially fellow bash sisters, then lemme know via PM or post or whatever so I can add you back :3

Not in our universe. In his, sure.
Uh... I have some news for you :3

Another leak from 4chan on the Smashboards:

~list of levels that includes a panel de pon one~

No newcomers, but interesting stages. I assume they are all supposed to be for the 3DS version but not sure.

-Your friendly neighborhood leak poster. Posting all the leaks in hopes that something sticks since 2014.
The panel de pon level just makes Lip not even being a trophy, let alone playable just hurt even more. At this rate she's going to have herself repped in just about every way possible that doesn't actually show the character itself :P
 
Other M Ridley was actually supposed to grow naturally after his metamorphosis in the original concept art (see the bottom left). In the game though, they made him grow true Pokemon style.

I don't think there will be any Tropical Freeze references in this game. It's too new, look at the Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Galaxy references in Brawl (there were none), which was about the same time frame of release between them and Brawl as TF and Smash 4 are.
There was a Radiant Dawn track in Brawl though.
When is the most formidable Sonic foe in history on the 3DS and Wii U getting in Smash?

Is it wrong that I love the visual concept? The concept of a snake building a big robot body with arms so that it can actually do shit is hilarious. It's like the goldfish in Megamind.

Funny thing is that that concept is already older, it's appeared in Freedom Planet, and that character's been shown like months, if not a year or so, before Sonic Boom was even announced lol. It all comes to full circle considering Freedom Planet is heavily Sonic-inspired.

 
Just wait until Anna ... and Tharja are revealed to be playable.

Profound sadness.

That game has some great music and levels. I hope the Walrus final boss makes it to the next Smash game.

I can't see Sakurai thinking a one-off DK boss that's going to be forgotten by the next game is worth making a character out of, might as well make mad jack a character by that point. But then again we did get Lucina so I guess one-off characters that will be forgotten aren't completely out there.
 
I hope the third Retro Studios Donkey Kong game is a team-up between King K Rool and Lord Frederik, with both fighting you at the same time as the final boss.

Can't see that happening, I imagine the kremlings would hate the snowmads considering they're cold-blooded and the snowmads want to freeze everything.

Might end up being some weird odd-couple style thing though, idk.

I doubt the snowmads are going to be reused anyway, it's either going to be kremlings or some other animals based on some other historic era/culture.

I hope it's a 3D platfmormer and we get the homies back. Maybe with a new intro. DKStep? Another DKRap? DKSlowJam?

Fire Emblem's a special case due to them replacing their cast every one or two installments. It and Pokemon are probably the only franchises that have had what could be described as "flavor of the month" characters
(Sheik is also an arguable case, but the fact that A) She's technically Zelda and B) the fact that they apparently were planning to use her in other games after OoT makes a decent enough case that she doesn't fall into this category)
. I'd imagine that with a franchise like DK, which has a fairly solid, consistent lineup of regular cast members, that, in the
highly unlikely
event they get another rep, it'd almost certainly be one of those regulars rather than a one-off villain.
 
How about Tharja as an Assist Trophy that attacks with random Black Magic tomes? If Robin is on the stage, she will say "There you are, Robin~ ♥."
 
Awakening was super popular, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Fire Emblem game has Lucina as the main character in an altered time-line.

Ugh.

Donkey Kong 64 is truly horrible. Who's ready to collect 201 Golden Bananas, 3500 regular bananas, 20 Banana Fairies, 40 Blueprints, and 10 Battle Arena Crowns?

No word of a lie, I would fucking love a retro-made 3D DK platformer.

I enjoyed DK64
it was fucking fantastic
but I'm sure they could reign in the collectathon aspects somewhat and make it more focused on platforming/action.

I think they should do a full-on alliance of evil thing with all the past DK villains & go for the big grand finale feel.

World 1: King K. Rool
World 2: Tiki Tong
World 3: Kaptain K. Rool
World 4: Lord Fredrik
World 5: Baron K. Roolenstein
World 6: Ghastly King
World 7: Krusha K. Rool
World 8:
Jumpman

Maybe Krool is the one who woke the Tiki's up from the volcano and game Frederik the ice horn and the idea to take over DK island.

It would be a nice way to potentially end the trilogy and bring in Krool, while still making him the ultimate final boss for DK.

The enemies in Tropical Freeze were basically just kremlins in a different skin anyway.

I'll be ending the votes tonight at 12:00 AM (PST) so that I can get everything ready for tomorrow's first reveal. I had 30 people vote yesterday just from me posting about it once, so I know there's still some of you out there that haven't voted. Do so before it's too late! Also, don't forget to PM me once you've voted to make sure your vote is counted; if I don't get a PM, your votes won't count. I'll probably post 1 or 2 more reminders later today.

If you don't know what I'm even taking about voting in, check this post out here for an explanation.
