Thank you

It is a adorable and unique Avatar. =P



So were back to picking teams eh?

 

[Not75Drops]

If Impa is in, watch her be a clone of Sheik, because the Zelda series needs more clones.

 

[J@hranimo]

Ridley and Tingle

In fact, that's way more sensible than Impa. Impa was never teased, whereas Tingle was!

Tingle is an AT again. Just to let you know.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Just want people to remember

That when Tingle is revealed as a playable character on September 13

None of you shall be spared.

 

[SkullHydra]

I guess I wasn't very active in the XY threads, but it's a pleasure to meet a fellow Carbink enthusiast!

I'm Masuda Method-ing for a shiny and I'm (literally) 2100 eggs into it. I will not be deterred. I must have a shiny Carbink.

I know that feel, bro. My shiny Sableye took well over 50 hours to hatch. Those were dark times...

 

[A Link to the Past]

Tingle is an AT again. Just to let you know.

Right, right. And Ridley's a boss too huh?

 

[Mysterious]

Dear Sakurai,

 

[Neiteio]

I stopped breeding when I got perfect IVs. I gave that sucker Light Clay so it can dual-screen like a champ. It also makes short work of every Talonflame. I see a Talonflame, I switch in Carbink on its Gale Wing Brave Bird, taking barely any damage, and then I set up Stealth Rock as it retreats. Then when it comes back, BAM, 50% HP gone, and I finish it off with Power Gem. Most satisfying maneuver ever!

 

[Benzychenz]

Right, right. And Ridley's a boss too huh?

Precisely.

 

[Mysterious]

Right, right. And Ridley's a boss too huh?

“The legendary hero Riki appears as an Assist Trophy and in Shulk’s Final Smash!! As an Assist Trophy, he uses many arts like Happy Happy, Freezinate, and Yoink! He sounds a bit like Tingle…but don’t worry, Tingle will make an appearance too.

.

 

[Mariolee]

Then proceed to get beaten by them and remain clueless how to get the encounter, leaving them locked away again.

I don't know how you did it, but I just flashbacked to unlocking Jigglypuff in the original Smash Bros. and feeling extremely nervous and crazy.

Now my palms are sweaty and I expect you to clean them.

 

[Flowmoney]

Where and when did Shulk integrate Brawl's beam sword into his weapon?

Someone spoil the plot for me...

Spoiler

I am only joking around

 

[nerdbot]

Right, right. And Ridley's a boss too huh?

If Riki can be an assist trophy and a final smash, Tingle can be an assist trophy and a character

>

 

[SkullHydra]

Dear Sakurai,

I... fully agree with this statement.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I think that we can all agree though, that when it comes to Zelda

Tingle wins for the most potentially interesting moveset
Tingle wins for the most visually distinctive character
Tingle wins for being the only Zelda character to spin off from the series
Tingle wins for being fairly old. He's 35! That's probably Ganondorf's age

 

[J@hranimo]

Right, right. And Ridley's a boss too huh?

 

[SuperSah]

Lack of music is disappointing.

We've had none for like a week now.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I unironically want Tingle playable.

I would genuinely love to see Tingle as a playable character but they'd totally need to supplement him with another Zelda character like Impa to prevent impotent nerdrage.

Isn't Ganondorf at this point thousands of years old?

 

[Mysterious]

Tingle is a fucking prick who made me pay to find Triforce shards. It was his world too that I was trying to save from Ganondorf. I even saved him from the jail.

With TTT about FI, Impa is the perfect logical character for this hint after girahim was dismissed, and tingle is already an A.T.

 

[A Link to the Past]

No joke, before Smash 4, my top 5:

5. Samurai Goroh
4. Captain Syrup
3. Tingle
2. Andy
1. Little Mac

 

[Mysterious]

What are TTT and FI?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Who'd have thought potd could reinvigorate

 

[Masked Man]

I dunno... I'm skeptical about this PotD implying anything about more characters. My guess is that the leaked video(s) simply showed off various menu screens, one of which happened to be All-Star Mode in its locked state. However, I don't think the footage included was all recorded at the same time, so it's very possible that they booted up the latest build, fiddled around with some menus, booted up the build again, used debug to unlock all the characters, and then filmed some battle scenes.

Spoiler

I'm just trying not to get my hopes up--I want to believe that Lucas and Chorus Kids still have a chance!

 

[A Link to the Past]

Yeah, sorry that Tingle is offering a useful service - cartography and translating dead languages!

I guess when he sold those maps to you, he was just being a mean jerk

Tingle is B-A, man

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

#TeamLess doesn't make any sense. More like #TeamFinal.

BTW I'm #TeamMore

 

[The_Intruder]

What are TTT and FI?

The Trophy Theory and Fi(sorry about this) from skyward sword.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Isn't Ganondorf at this point thousands of years old?

He's a 12 year old girl in the body of a 5,000 year old demon.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

I know that feel, bro. My shiny Sableye took well over 50 hours to hatch. Those were dark times...

Damn, the lengths we'll go to just for shinies. I know some people who've told me they got theirs in the first 100 eggs and I just weep.

Oh my god wow. I knew I liked Carbink but now I know exactly what to do to my friend who uses his Talonflame like a crutch.

Muahahahaha

Thinly veiled attempt at on topic part:

Carbink should be a Pokeball summon. Maybe it could use Power Gem? Or maybe Light Screen/Reflect to buff the user's defenses for a bit?

 

[Rychu Supadude]

When should we realistically expect a release date announcement for Smash 4 Wii U?
A week or so after the Japan release? Or after the America/Europe release?

This reminds me of when Brawl was already out in America, and we still had no clue how long it be before they shipped it out to us... I used to walk past EB Games every day on my way home, hoping that the TBA in the window would have changed to a set of numbers. It's much harder to wait when you don't have an endpoint in sight!

Of course, by the time it finally launched the hype was low enough that I was able to get my hands on a copy pretty easily, whereas SSB4 makes history as the first ever game that I have felt the need to preorder.

 

[Hello.]

Lack of music is disappointing.

We've had none for like a week now.

Me and you both, man. I wanted some music, not this All-Star crap.

 

[Mysterious]

With TTT about FI, Impa is the perfect logical character for this hint after girahim was dismissed, and tingle is already an A.T.

If TTT is true, my mains:

1) Ridley
2) Shulk
3) Impa

 

[Kouriozan]

Menu PotD continue? I hope so!

 

[SoulUnison]

I've always been of the opinion that Sakurai wouldn't leave a CSS with unused space, especially on a handheld. He really loves menu and UI design.

 

[?oe?oe]

I want to say the Ridley boss will be shown on the last PoTD before Wii U release.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I wanna ask y'all a question

If you're Sakurai, and you want to make a secret character completely unexpected, which decision would you make?:

A. Never mention or show a character, and then have everyone speculate and discuss whether you're in

B. Reveal a playable character in a non-playable position, thereby causing people to completely not talk about the prospect of them being playable and in fact declare that character deconfirmed.

Well, we know what Sakurai does - he's done it twice thus far. R.O.B. was shown as an enemy, and Toon Link was a background character. Them being different incarnations of Link is clearly not the reason why these two characters can occupy the same space, because Sakurai made a point of taking him from the background whenever Toon Link is present.

 

[Pikma]

I... fully agree with this statement.

I hate you, you're so popular and shit now that you have that avatar

 

[Kensho]

Did you see these?

http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2f7iy5/nintendo_has_hidden_the_5_minute_japanese_preview/

Man, Nintendo is messing up big time when it comes to leaks in videos... even their own.

Edit: I mean the change, I know the ganon video is old

 

[Neiteio]

Seriously, Carbink absolutely wrecks Talonflame. I've played countless matches online and stonewalled every Talonflame I ever encountered. Just keep Carbink in the pocket until the bird inevitably shows up, then switch in to block it, and set up for its return.

Probably B. The Spirit Tracks stage had me convinced that Toon Link was gone. I'm very glad that's not the case though.

 

[ubiblu]

In all fairness, the leak did have one blank space on the stage select. We could be in for at least one more character. I still find it hard to believe the ESRB reel wouldn't include the final roster...

 

[Mysterious]

Did you lose an avatar bet?

 

[A Link to the Past]

Exactly.

If I'm wrong about Tingle, oh well! No skin off my back.

If I'm right, then I'm a fucking maverick

What bothers me is that one stage could be Rhythm Heaven, or it could be Ice Climber. Both series have no stages in the present roster, and basically any other veterans or popular newcomer choices are from already-repped series.

 

[Troubled Bat]

SkullHydra, that post made me laugh so much. Haha. XP

Exactly.

No, you're a snitch.

 

[SkullHydra]

You think I'd wear this avatar by choice? =O

Spoiler

I lose a lot of avatar bets. ( ._.)

 

[J@hranimo]

It's gotta be a RH character. They got their start on Handhelds, so it would be right for them to get a stage.

Then again, there isn't a new WarioWare stage which kinda baffles me

 

[Pikma]

Nah, he's just a person full of love and wanted to share some of it with us SmashGAF

We love you too, skully♥
