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

Sakurai was probably forced to include as much Wario content as he did. Wario won't get an item, won't get a stage, won't get a new character. Is there even WarioWare as a Past Stage? Will we even get Wario music in this game?

Isn't there one on the leaked SSS?

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

They did it with Brawl too, when they accidentally revealed Lucario in a video featuring stickers.

 

[SkullHydra]

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

We love you too, skully♥

What bet did Skully lose?

I bet that a newcomer would be revealed a week or two ago, and nothing happened.

Spoiler

I bet too soon!

Jigglypuff and Ness as well, if I recall.

Sakurai's the only man who can reopen the door of dreams by putting a lock on it.

 

[WonderRade]

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...

Honestly its has been the stage list that has always given me that inkling that not everything was unlocked in the leak. In brawl you could unlock everyone and not have all the stages.

With that being said... #teammore

This has been bothering me since yesterday. What's up with SmashGAF's leaping to conclusions?

Since when did "an FS character can appear as an AT!" lead to "a non-playable character becomes playable!"

Notice how both a Final Smash character and an Assist Trophy character are... NONPLAYABLE? Also note that Shulk's FS looks like a cutscene attack which doesn't really interfere even if Riki is onscreen as an AT.

Yeah Warioware's confirmed for the 3DS version I think

I believe you were my second victim avatar victory, almost immediately following my first victory over Oreomunsta. Good times...

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.

It's more likely that he made that point to prevent players from confusing background Toon Link with player Toon Link rather than any kind of canonicity logic argument. We're talking about a game where multiples of the same character can occupy the same space. That's obviously not an issue. Since then, however, nobody has been conducting the train. No Toon Link, no Alfonso.

Well, the leak was of a selection screen picture without the Mii Fighters. So, it wasn't trying to be a comprehensive picture of all characters anyway.

Because being right about an AT being playable is worth the risk of being wrong about it :v

I was already in the minority with my support of ESRB leak. If I'm right about Tingle, I'm in a minority of like

Me

And just me

And being the only one who's right about something is awesome

In these battles, multiple opponents appear in one stage, and you clear the battle by defeating a number of them. The rest area that appears between battles displays the next opponents and the year the characters made their first appearances, and it also holds recovery items and an occasional reward. The characters you fight against appear pretty much in chronological order. Behold, the history of Nintendo games!!

Oh my bad, I meant since they're both kinda similar games that originated on handhelds that they would be 3DS stages for both.

and even though this has been mentioned before, yes WarioWare is back from Brawl as a past stage.

Miis are selectable through a different screen. Confirmed through leaks and new trailer.

I find it hard to believe Sakurai gave the ESRB a 90% roster screen when Game&Watch is clearly unlocked on it. Are people forgetting that?

I say launch roster is what we saw in the leak completed and DLC is coming.

Good to know more about All Star mode

Edit: just noticed it says that you cannot continue now

 

[BGBW]

"When Tingle appears on the battlefield, his brother Knuckle takes over!"

But if you are going on the assumption that Tingle is playable, surely his colour options would all be based on his brothers and David Jr?

And since there are four of them it is possible that all four could be selected for one match meaning no substitutes left.

His brothers would obviously be his alts, but it's not gonna happen.

Simple - Knuckle is the only colour he can't have! David Jr. is his slave and Ankle his loyal brother, so he just steals their clothing. He can have an alt costume of his casual clothing, with his creepy Bert haircut.

Morning, SmashGAF! So if I understand correctly, we start with an incomplete All-Star mode that fills in the gaps with unlockable characters? A bit odd considering the last two games, but you won't hear me complaining about another mode available at the start!

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

Ganondorf comes out and attacks, then gets sealed away again so he's not really lived for 1000 years, just about 10-15 of being an adult as he keeps getting owned.

Unless like Link and Zelda, Ganondorf is just a different Gerudo male every time, but the gerudo males are destined

Spoiler

by the end of Skyward sword

to be Ganondorf.

 

[ffdgh]

Pic of the day. This time, you can challenge every fighter in All-Star Mode from the moment you turn on the game!! This is a survival battle with limited recovery items and no option to continue. However, this mode will be incomplete until you've unlocked every fighter... Until then, you can only play against characters that are already available. This is a picture of the bottom-screen menu, with a padlock indicating that the mode is still incomplete.

yoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

So the lock of truth will either bring us great joy...or curshing disappointment. Sakurai still have some secrets I see lol.

He gets sealed in the Sacred realm which is essentially the dark world, he was also just sent to the Twilight Realm. Ganondorf is old as hell in every game other than Ocarina except for 4 Sword Adventures which features a new re-incarnated Ganondorf.
