Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XV: Kübler-Ross Edition

Honestly a blackout would be pointless considering most of us gotta wait until October with spoilers all over the internet lol.

Ye, it'll probably be a fruitless effort. There's most likely not that many secrets left that we don't know about anyway. Not sure I believe the whole "more characters left" rumour, I think space for DLC is more likely here.
 
It's your burden for multiple reasons

A. You're arguing against what was already assumed by the vast majority
B. Finding one other source is far easier and simpler vs finding a lack of any other sources

Really? The vast majority is willing to believe that literally no one ever guessed Wii Fit Trainer, even jokingly? I'm not saying she was common at all, my issue here is the misuse of the term literal.
Fine, I'll go ahead and find at least one.

Where did I say that?

Sorry, that's what Ash said.
 
After playing around, I could only form these without "breaking rows".

Just add King K. Rool and Impa, and cut the Chorus Kids are I'd be 100% satisfied.

Want Ridley but that's not happen ;_;
 
Ash didn't say literally no one in GAF predicted her, he said literally no one ever predicted her. Somewhere online, people (jokingly or not) brought her up as a potential rep.
"Literally no one" is a common exaggeration used in the English language.
 
Someone on your side claimed to find two or three examples (even jokingly).

Earnest predictions or not, people thought up the idea.
Someone jokingly saying "the Wii Fit girl should be in Smash Bros." in 2009 is different than specifying "Wii Fit Trainer" the day before her actual reveal. You're being obtuse if you can't accept that. And simply mentioning Wii Fit in the context of Smash Bros. is different than a prediction. I've combed through hundreds of fan rosters since this game's announcement, and Wii Fit Trainer wasn't included in any of them. That's why her announcement was particularly alarming.
 
I've made the following predictions - half-joking - and movesets

Ayumi Tachibana
Rock Pikmin
Duck Hunt Dog
Paper Mario
Tingle
Captain Syrup
Mona
Jimmy T.
Kat & Ana
Dr. Lobe
Kyle Hyde
Wild Gunman
King Hippo
Dr. Luigi
Pichu Bros.
Ganon
Andy

Let's say that Kyle Hyde is made playable. Should the fact that I like to talk about wacky, nigh-impossible characters be construed as an example that Kyle Hyde isn't that hard to guess?


Especially
alongside Villager (name dropped as such) Mega Man, Pac-Man and Little Mac.

Villager was actually called Animal Crossing Guy, but it likely referred to Villager since he was called Animal Crossing Boy in Brawl.
 
Does anyone have a link to the point in a thread where people started realizing how well Sal Romano's guess matched the e3 reveal? I want to see that madness unfold.

Sadly, the thread where that happened didn't have much in the way of madness. Very few comments in response. I don't know if proper lunacy took place in another thread, though.

You're making the claim here: Someone who predicted Wii Fit Trainer exists.
 
I haven't seen a hair of them in the 3DS Menus. :( Maybe the Wii U has them only.

I don't think they are confirmed, so they may or probably are gone. At least on 3DS

No Event mode for 3DS.

I believe they aren't in the 3DS version, we don't know the full details yet, but I do expect it to return in the Wii U version.

Poor 3DS version...

Japanese release in five days, right? So only five days until we learn if online matches are playable? *bites nails*
 
I just don't get it, he hasn't had a hit in several centuries and was born in a period where medical research was more limited, but is there really any definitive proof that Mozart couldn't be alive today?

No one guessed that Wii Fit Trainer would be in, the few that said she'd be in didn't guess, they knew ;)
 
I heard there was no Medusa color alt for Palutena or dark colored alt for Palutena...yet she has Viridi colors?!

I have a theory, especially based on the recent Shulk announce video.

We've seen Yellow Devil, we've seen the stage boss for the Mii stage, why wouldn't we get close up shots of Metal Face and Ridley and only TEASERS.

We clearly saw Pittoo, and Game and Watch TEASED in previous videos as well and they are playable.

I'm guessing 3 of the characters that need to be unlockable are focused entirely on bad guys. Medusa, Metalface, and Ridley. (Unless we are going to get a playable boss mode in Wii U only where the Wii U pad holder plays as the boss like in Mario Party games.)

The other 2 are probably Marshal/Chorus Men, Impa/Fi, Dixie Kong if I had to take an educated guess.
 
So, 5 more days until the thread implodes? Any new thread titles named yet?

Sorry, that's what Ash said.

Someone jokingly saying "the Wii Fit girl should be in Smash Bros." in 2009 is different than specifying "Wii Fit Trainer" the day before her actual reveal. You're being obtuse if you can't accept that.
Exactly. There's quite a difference between (seriously) and saying "you know what would be funny/cool? If that wii fit person got into smash bros". A key difference is that the 1st has the connotation of "I believe what I'm predicting" while the 2nd says "I don't actually believe this can happen"
 
People HAVE predicted Wii Fit Trainer before. Somebody linked a post from GameFaqs here a while back saying Wii Fit Trainer should be playable years ago.
 
Goddamn. This is gonna have 20 threads before the NA release. That's almost half a million posts. Has there ever been a pre release hype as much as this?

Doesn't make it right.

Look, I'm not saying that the leak is wrong because Wii Fit Trainer was a plausible idea. It wasn't. Either he was right, or he was ridiculously lucky. Almost no one saw that coming at all.
What I'm arguing is that Ash's use of the term literally was wrong because someone out there thought of the idea. People shouldn't speak in absolutes unless they have the evidence to back it up.

By the way:

Fucking got it.
 


5 Days left? Unreal.

I might lurk but checking these threads for the last few months has truly been fun.

I've joked with friends about what happens after the game comes out? Like what hype machine will be left? Well, yeah, playing the game lol haha but you know what I mean. This past year has been awesome anticipation and I'm glad it eclipsed my anticipation for Brawl.
 
As I see it there are 2 possible Ridley situations.

1)He is not in = Sakurai is cruel and likes to tease us and play with our hopes.

2)He is in = Sakurai is cruel and likes to tease us and play with our hopes.

Let's talk about Challenges

I hope they don't suck

Win 5 Smash Runs... USING ONLY THE TOUCH SCREEN!!!1!!!
 
Goddamn. This is gonna have 20 threads before the NA release. That's almost half a million posts. Has there ever been a pre release hype as much as this?

And that's without counting characters, stages, features and bits of news that have had their own threads, alongside the very meaty Direct one!
 
The gist of that post was "wouldn't it be neat if"

Not "This character will probably be in Smash."
No, it was somebody saying she should be playable. And even if it wasn't...so? Clearly it was on somebody's mind, and the odds of somebody thinking about it aren't as astronomical as people are making out.
 
Guys I'm curious, this is thread XIV, what did people talk about/speculate in thread 1?


To unlock Lucina, win a match with female Robin's final smash. Ten matches later, she will challenge you.

Lucina: Use Marth but write Lucina as your player name. There you go.
 
That's not a prediction, and look at the date.

I saw the date. That's why I posted it. Someone thought of the idea, which means that Ash's statement was wrong.

This.
