But the Wario games are so much fun.... SO MUCH FUN!!!!

On a side note: will the 3DS version be playable with CCP?

I guess we don't know about the CPP for sure, but the packaging we've seen indicates no, right?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Even without the leak, today's pic would have been boring.

What's with all the menu pictures lately? It's 2 weeks to release...

Also I'm thinking a Direct will be announced sometime soon, maybe they're saving their info for then

Spoiler

A nice time to show off solopopo

 

[Luqi]

What's a CCP?

Circle pad pro! It is that extra circle pad

 

[beta_fuse]

I like Wario thanks to the Wario Ware games, and find him amusing as shit, but I really hate playing against him in Smash. He's just one of those characters that I have trouble against.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Out of curiosity, have you ever played any Wario games, particularly Wario Land (even tho WarioWare works too I guess)?

That's a fair question. I have played the following Wario games:

- Wario Land
- Wario Land 4
- Wario World
- Wario Land: Shake It!
- WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
- WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
- WarioWare: Twisted!
- WarioWare: Touched!
- WarioWare: Smooth Moves
- Game & Wario (if that counts)

So yeah, I'm pretty experienced with Wario's games. In summary, I thought the original Wario Land was quite good but not amazing, Wario Land 4 and Wario World bored me to tears, and Wario Land: Shake It! was pretty good but not compelling enough for me to finish it. I think all of the WarioWare games except for Smooth Moves have been pretty damn great, with Twisted! being effin' amazing and the series' best.

But even within the WarioWare games, Wario himself is usually the character I like the least by far. I like Mona, 9-Volt, Jimmy T., Ashley, Kat and Ana, etc. much more than I do Wario himself. His character just annoys the shit out of me and he's just not a protagonist I can get behind, which makes many of the games in which he is the sole starring character unappealing to me. Sorry.

I like the menu pics mostly because they are 3DS pics and I'm kinda more hyped for this version cause I don't have much time to play and the 3DS is the best companion

 

[EatChildren]

why haven't the extra five characters leaked yet

why

 

[nns3d]

why haven't the extra five characters leaked yet

why

I was about to ask this myself lol

Shouldn't be too long before we find out who they are anyways.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Ice Climbers aren't going to be one of them. Make your peace

 

[Karsticles]

why haven't the extra five characters leaked yet

why

Why are you saying five instead of six?

 

[Luqi]

Ice Climbers aren't going to be one of them. Make your peace

Because it'll be ICE CLIMBERRR

 

[A Link to the Past]

why haven't the extra five characters leaked yet

why

We probably just don't want it enough

Maybe if we all clap really loud, the leaker will hear our calls of support (and by support I mean selfish needs :v)

Also, let's all feel feelings while we wait for the leak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyVfKDrAAJg

 

[Regulus Tera]

why haven't the extra five characters leaked yet

why

Because the leaker is apparently facing litigation and no sane man would continue leaking that when you have Nintendo's lawyers on your throat.

 

[The Bankslammer]

oh rad new music

I'm glad we got a somewhat different take on Green Greens, because it feels like a lot of its arrangements kinda blend together. This one's very distinct.

I haven't played M&L4, but I'm at least familiar with the main battle theme, and while I prefer the original version, this is good too. Wonder if it's going to be the alternate music for the Paper Mario stage?

in conclusion bath time is still the best music

 

[Toxi]

Wario takes the W, Ike holds the L

 

[Boss Doggie]

That roster pic still bothers me because it assumes Mewtwo, Ridley, etc. are in.

 

[Guesong]

Have I missed something?

Are we back to speculating that there are five extra characters to be had? Is this backed up by a reputable source or just hearsay that people cling onto for IC/Snake?

 

[Kjellson]

So is it confirmed that we still have five more characters we don't know about?

Or is that just another rumor?

I hate waiting.

There's a salt-grain text leak that says Marshal, Ice Climber (singular), Wolf, and Lucas are playable.

 

[emb]

Because there are no more.

No, as far as I'm aware it's just because the CSS we saw has room for 5 more characters.

[post=126834851]Read my post detailing the last 15 days worth of updates before Brawl's release.[/post]

It's not that odd we are seeing so many menu pictures. In fact Challenges was one of the final 15 for Brawl.

 

[munchie64]

That's not true! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

 

[HawthorneKitty]

They should like put Nana in the 3DS version and Popo on the Wii U. When you communicate the two games, you are treated with a tearful cinematic exchange between the two, separated by a single glass wall, unable to be together ever again.

 

[A Link to the Past]

You know what'd be awesome?

If you eventually unlocked Intense Challenges.

 

[TDLink]

So is it confirmed that we still have five more characters we don't know about?

I hate waiting.

People are assuming 5 because there are 5 more spaces on the character select. There's definitely at least 1 as All Star Mode was not yet unlocked.

 

[Boss Doggie]

No one knows, we're just stuck with All Star Mode being locked. There are no confirmed locked characters so far.

- There are 5 slots left on the CSS. Without those 5 slots filled, the CSS looks really ugly and not aligned properly. This also carries to the Wii U if you make a mock CSS, it looks a million times better with those 5 slots filled.
- Ice Climbers and Rhythm Haven have Smash Run enemies, no series has Smash Run enemies without a character. Polar Bear hasn't been seen anywhere but a press release and a pulled Pic of the Day, it's possible he may have been cut very late, but Sneaky Spirit was in the playable demo of Smash Run.
- The ESRB was missing content. All Star mode was locked, Barbara the Bat's trophy had no text. ESRB doesn't require Nintendo to show all content, very reasonable to assume they needed to show Shulk, but he was unlocked before other characters who didn't need to be shown, so they never bothered. This may explain Wolf missing more than Lucas or IC.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Wait, Barbara's trophy didn't have text? Why?

Polar Bear was in the E3 demo.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Because the version shown to the ESRB was not a finished copy of the game, nor one with everything unlocked.

Polar Bear was in the E3 demo.

He was? I only heard the Sneaky Spirit was, I thought people were convinced the bear was cut.

ESRB build could technically still be incomplete.

 

[Error404SwagNotFound]

Because the version shown to the ESRB was not a finished copy of the game, nor one with everything unlocked.

Which means more surprises are still on the way. Hype train rolls on!

So the popular theory based on Barbara's trophy is that the ESRB preview is beta?

The same leaks.

 

[SmithnCo]

Wait, Barbara's trophy didn't have text? Why?

Because there's nothing to say about her really

But for real it gives me hope there are more characters and the build is fairly old

 

[StreetsAhead]

- There are 5 slots left on the CSS

To play devil's advocate, there's only *space* for five slots. The menu could easily remain the same.

Son, you clearly haven't played Master of Illusion. It will blow your minnnd

and here's just the video.

 

[A Link to the Past]

One thing that troubles me on the beta theory; if it is indeed beta, what happens if Nintendo adds content that turns out to be objectionable? I suppose this problem could be quashed if we assume that all content is decided upon, or that they've made a point of including every objectionable piece of content into the game in order to get it out of the way...

 

[Luqi]

What's this all star mode you guys are talking? /noob

 

[Vashzaron]

Actually about Barbara, that's the only trophy pic that has 11 trophies. (Vs 686)

I think that should at least show that all these pictures from videos aren't from the same save or build or whatever.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Because it'll be ICE CLIMBERRR

No it won't lol

why haven't the extra five characters leaked yet

why

I think the only person in any position to leak them is under lockdown from Nintendo's lawyers.

 

[Zixmar]

The Fake POTDs are something else

Well, Sakurai made something close to it to be honest lol

 

[A Link to the Past]

What's this all star mode you guys are talking? /noob

Someone posted an image of All Star Mode on the menu screen with a lock on it. In past Smashes, it was a mode where you fight every character in the game in a gauntlet, but you needed to unlock every character to play it. Because of the lock, people believe that the ESRB build did not have every character.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Thinking about the rumor with Ice Climber, there's kind of a fun trailer they could do.

The camera pans onto them, they're lined up like normal. They act normal for awhile... until Nana grabs Popo from behind and tosses him, "ICE CLIMBER: CLIMBS INTO BATTLE" and then Sakurai explaining them being their own single character now. Maybe even explaining that it was a technical challenge and this was the compromise.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Having never played a smash bros, should I get the 3ds version or wii u? I have an XL 3ds and a wii u pro controller (which is awesome!). Is either the definitive version?

Well, if you have both systems, get it for whichever system you like better or play more often. I only have a Wii U because I don't really play mobile games, so that's what I'll be getting it for.

I think k the rating goes like 'hey we are showing this much ass and not more' and 'this is as violent as it goes' so itll be okay

 

[Spinosaurus]

Actively despise:

Wario

I'll see you online

Tiki and Tharja don't seem to have text either but have the full trophy count, so I'd probably discount the idea of the footage being taken from different builds. Different saves seems likely, though. Or at least an unlock code was used at some point.
