That's cool Padwarrior. What's in the treasure chest?

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Could you make that any bigger?

don't tempt him.

Loool, finally. I hope they commentate Evo next year.

 

[Astarte]

All these replies about Uprising cramps

Ah, I never knew that a lot of people had complaints about it :/ I just held the right side of the 3ds up with my pinky and went from there.

Also Link looks really lost.

 

[PadWarrior]

That's cool Padwarrior. What's in the treasure box?

Haven't opened it yet, waiting to get a good display area for him and my other NIntendo figures.

Anything else?

So you believe Sakurai finalized the entire roster within a 3 month period?

Let us know what it is after when you get the display.

 

[Ryce]

So you believe Sakurai finalized the entire roster within a 3 month period?

Yup.

The first interesting tidbit he dropped during his talk was that the final character roster was essentially completed when the design document was finalized on July 7, 2005. That was, the character list was done 2½ years before the game was completed. Sakurai said the reasoning behind this was that he knew making additions later during development would be very difficult. [...] The only exception to this plan was the late addition of Sonic. He was not added into the game until some time last year, though Sakurai didn't elaborate on how they incorporated him into the game relatively quickly.

Oh hey, I see the toy has an exact replica of the smash 4 face

 

[Kandinsky]

I wouldn't mind her Final Smash being based around a Guitar.

where is that image from?

 

[Sponge]

where is that image from?

Cutscene in Tropical Freeze.

 

[Makai]

I doubt WonkyKong unlocks any characters we don't know about.

 

[Mysterious]

Yup.

Ok I got nothing. You win.

 

[-Horizon-]

No grunting or action yell feature? Boring.

 

[SUPERJEM94]

The ones we care about are girls at least.
Not much love for the males. If they're in smash it's going to be the female that's shown off with the male as the alt.

This is literally the first time I'm noticing the boy Inkling.

The ones with their tentacles tied up are boy-squids :3

I'd totally main an inkling if they got in as DLC or the like... but I guess my avatar made that kinda obvious

I can really see them in the next Smash game, and I think most people do!

 

[Mysterious]

Greninja was added to the roster before X and Y released also He was chosen based on concept art if I'm remembering correctly.

That's true. So technically if Sakurai really wanted, he could've added Rosalina.

 

[PadWarrior]

Oh hey, I see the toy has an exact replica of the smash 4 face

LOL!

 

[SUPERJEM94]

Where did you get that?! ;__;

 

[Wanderer5]

Good Smile Company figma or bust.

Online. I gave up wasting gas driving around.

Welp. Can't unsee.

Unlocking charcters takes time

 

[Mik317]

Unlocking charcters takes time

I never thought about how hard it might be to unlock character's without knowing how. Even in 64 I needed help to unlock Ness.. I think

 

[Seven Force]

Yup.

Huh, I knew that Sonic was added late, but I didn't know the rest of the roster was decided upon that early.

RE: Gematsu Leaks

[Mysterious]

So is it confirmed if ESRB leak has 100% of all trophies? Because if so, then that means all characters were unlocked.

 

[SUPERJEM94]

Online. I gave up wasting gas driving around.

Would love to get one! How long did you spent looking for this?

 

[Makai]

RE: Gematsu Leaks

For real.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I mean at least for some people, getting a random trophy drop for a character like Ridley or Wolf will get the job done l, and that could happen quickly.

I think it is better to call specific people out over the entire thread.

 

[Kinsei]

I hope not. We went from 290 in Melee to 544 in Brawl. 686 would be a disappointing number after the last huge jump.

I'm still looking for one for Sah. I guess I should be lucky i found my own (day 1).

Please, BossDoggie. That thing that no one thought was going to happen was so obviously going to happen.

I'll message

you my 3DS code once I get it, if you have that. You might even stumble upon some Kaillera peeps when we play ;]

Will do

 

[MrSaturn99]

Well, it's just the 3DS version. I imagine the Wii U version will have even more.

 

[Hatchtag]

I hope not. We went from 290 in Melee to 544 in Brawl. 686 would be a disappointing number after the last huge jump.

eh, i'm fine with 686 if wii u version has a similar number and a large amount of unique trophies.

 

[Geminosity]

This is literally the first time I'm noticing the boy Inkling.

I can really see them in the next Smash game, and I think most people do!

Well, I think it'll depend on how well the game itself does when it finally comes out next year but I'm hoping the early flood of fan-art (we collated a lot in a seperate thread here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=837761 ) is some kind of indication of people's interest

I'd honestly make the argument inklings could've been in smash 4 without DLC if it weren't an EAD game. I suspect they go through hundreds of prototypes that the public never get to see so even with Sakurai's inside knowledge he probably wouldn't have known if it'd end up as a final product, nevermind one that would turn up at E3 to a surprisingly positive reception :3

 

[PadWarrior]

I was looking for weeks lol

 

[Zomba13]

So is it confirmed if ESRB leak has 100% of all trophies? Because if so, then that means all characters were unlocked.

This was my thinking and I was literally typing a post to ask that (if ESRB leak is all trophies (due to needing to show the lewd ones) then it's a complete game save) but then I remembered the shot with the All Star mode screen with the lock icon which Sakurai confirmed means more characters exist to be unlocked which implies that if the ESRB videos are all from the same build and same file that there are more characters to unlock.

Why is the Barbara thing important again?

 

[Mysterious]

I hope not. We went from 290 in Melee to 544 in Brawl. 686 would be a disappointing number after the last huge jump.

Diminishing returns.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Please, BossDoggie. That thing that no one thought was going to happen was so obviously going to happen.

I, for one, had been predicting Wii Fit Trainer since before Brawl came out. It was only a matter of time before she made it in.

I hope not. We went from 290 in Melee to 544 in Brawl. 686 would be a disappointing number after the last huge jump.

A mere 142 trophies more than Brawl had.

Really, though, they can't keep doubling the number of trophies in every game. There isn't enough time for that.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Why is the Barbara thing important again?

Depending on how you look at it, there's evidence for multiple save files. Barbara is the key.

RE: Gematsu Leaks

Is it that strange to entertain the possibility that in all of the tens of thousands of people (if not more) that are discussing Smash Bros. on the web, that one of them got lucky? Especially considering we've seen that people have had the same lines of thought before.

Spoiler

I do think Gematsu had info, I just don't think it's 'omg obviously the only explanation' like some people do.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

eh, i'm fine with 686 if wii u version has a similar number and a large amount of unique trophies.

I got the impression from one of the POTD's that both versions don't have the same trophy count.

Somehow simultaneously making my favorite trailer better, and making me love Melia more.

"I see no problem here. He's so cuddly I could cuddle him to death."

This makes me hope Xenoblade Chronicles X has similar battle quotes style to Xenoblade Chronicles. Although, with a customizeable protag I'm still a bit worried about that.

Yeah I have all of wave 1 minus Wario and a whole set of Amiibos ordered. Gonna be a Smashing year lol.

 

[Kinsei]

Diminishing returns.

There are a ton of new characters, enemies, and items that were introduced after Brawl from Nintendo games that they could use.
