But Nintendo just isn't willing to even try to make this work. And even if his height is in check, he still has gigantic wings and a long tail. Just too unconventional to try and make work. It's probably possible, but I don't know why anyone still expects it to happen.

So... What about Charizard than?

 

[emb]

The only good argument for Ridley is this:

It's a really good, concise argument though. He already looks perfect for Smash there.

 

[Roo]

Hey guys is anybody hyped in here?

I've never played Twilight Princess, so mega stoked about that. I really wasn't expecting much graphically, but what if we're blown away with something on the level of the first Wii u zelda demo?!

You really *really* need to keep your expectations in check.
Something like Twilight Pricess running on Dolphin plus better lighting is more appropriate.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

These predictions about games being cancelled aren't serious right? I highly doubt they'd take the time in a direct to say that a project was scrapped entirely because of fan reactions.

Nintendo would be stupid to pass up the potential for 10,000+ sales by canceling Federation Force.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Are they the ones crying over all the street fighter alpha fan service? Stopped looking at the threads.

No, that's completely different group of people. Street Fighter 3 fans were very upset that we didn't get any SF3 characters in initial roster so some of them kinda started the arguments about several subjects. It was getting too silly at the point. They finally calmed down after Ibuki, Alex and Urien got semi-confirmed for DLC.

I still don't understand what the heck Padwarrior talking about. Saying that Snake's begs is same size as Street Fighter 3 Fans' dramas is like saying that a dog's size is same as an elephant's size.

Only way that you could compare Smash fans to Street Fighter 3 fans, which is pretty much Ridley fans. (No offense to anyone but I'm grateful that y'all have been quiet about it lately)

 

[PorygonVandal]

So they still haven't announced a JP Direct? I assume the OP would've been updated?

They did, two days ago

 

[Tom Nook]

How long is this going to be? Anyone know?

30mins or more.

Spoiler

I hope.

 

[Xeroblade]

45 hours long.

I could only hope.

Probably will be a GC version re-rendered to HD.

*Reveals Chibi-Federation Trooper*

I hope this happens tbh

 

[fredrancour]

So... What about Charizard than?

Charizard ain't a good counter argument. He's always been listed as smaller than the hearts of children wanted their fire-dragon bro to be. Pokedex stats are absurd.

 

[Ouroboros]

Sakurai: "Nintendo fans, we've heard you. We hear that you want more Metroid representation in smash"

*Chibi-Federation Trooper Forces His Way In!*

Mii costume for sure.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

So... What about Charizard than?

Much smaller wings/tail, and Charizard keeps his tail curled up, close to his body for animations.

Also in some ways, Charizard feels "off" in Smash due to how poorly he performs in the air.

 

[RayearthRob]

Can I dream with a Nintendo Treehouse after ND?

Spoiler

Playing Zelda TP HD *-----*

They did and the OP should definitely be updated, with a countdown/links ideally.

 

[Oersted]

Nintendo fans love Metroid

there's only one character from Metroid in Smash

A Metroid villain could fit




And so could a Donkey Kong villain. fuckers.

Lol. Why not "just" a average Space Pirate? Maybe Ridley as Smash Attack, dropping rockets from the sky.

 

[Roo]

Probably will be a GC version re-rendered to HD.

Which is not a bad thing per se
but expecting to get anywhere near the Wii U demo is.. well.. delusional.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Sakurai: "Nintendo fans, we've heard you. We hear that you want more Metroid representation in smash"

Chibi-Federation Trooper Forces His Way In!

Well, we already have Ridley in Smash Bros.. Just select Charizard and select the purple colors. That's better than nothing!

 

[Pancake Mix]

So an entirely new design that would have nothing to do with the NES version other than height, because it would look so incredibly different and updated. That argument is basically: the sprite was only a bit larger than Samus on NES, so the character is allowed to be that small.

The only good argument for Ridley is this:

But Nintendo just isn't willing to even try to make this work. And even if his height is in check, he still has gigantic wings and a long tail. Just too unconventional to try and make work. It's probably possible, but I don't know why anyone still expects it to happen.

Pretty likely a non-Sakurai would try to make a huge fan request work. It's him that doesn't think it will work but at the same time has Bowser smaller than many of his other appearances, especially Sunshine which was in development at the same time as Melee where Bowser was introduced.

How would Nana and Popo ever be part of a "worst" ending.

There would be actual tears shed by many people to have them return. They have to be the most missed cut vets the series has ever had.

 

[takriel]

I could only hope.

"........ did I already mention that my body is ready? Yeah? ......... well it's ready......"

 

[RaidenXZ]

What if we see a black screen with white writing come up during the direct and it reads "Chapter 3 - Smash".

Big Boss confirmed for smash bros. Has similar moveset to Solid Snake but with added prosthetic arm moves. "Big Boss - A Phantom Pain No More"

We did get MGS 3 for 3DS afterall. And we when we got Solid Snake for Brawl, he was his MGS 2 variant so it wouldn't be out of all realms of possibility. I just want Snake back

 

[SUPERJEM94]

This animation bring so many feelings! XD

Im gonna trying to make it better:

And with the Nintendo Direct theme:

Sure! This is for your help on the topic of Smash-Bros when I didn't have a neogaf account (I'm Clipse from SmashBros-Miiverse )

Spoiler

I took the images from my site in case you want the original art

These are amazing, gonna save these!! I love your site as well, made myself a new avatar using it!

Sakurai: "Nintendo fans, we've heard you. We hear that you want more Metroid representation in smash"

Chibi-Federation Trooper Forces His Way In!

This sounds exactly as something they would do.

 

[wild wild rice]

A) Fuck Pokémon.

B) Ridley wrecking the stage in Smash was actually pretty cool and I don't even care about not having Ridley as a playable character

C) Hype, let's go.

 

[MagnesD3]

Anime and Avatars are the only things you will be receiving. Also swords.

Some people hate them because of their infinite grabs or that they are hard to play with.

Whoever they is. It wouldn't look typical Sakurai to do that.

 

[Herbs]

I could see that. Konami doesn't seem to be above whoring their properties out.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Some people hate them because of their infinite grabs or that they are hard to play with.

The way grabs work in Smash 4, it would be incredibly hard for them to have a chain grab. There's specific things in place to prevent chain grabs.

 

[PadWarrior]

To be honest I wouldn't mind if rool is announced today

 

[Ōkami]

Ridley mii costume.

 

[Pizza]

Imo, take the Ridley from the melee intro. It'd work great! Leave the tail off and call it an homage, make him fight like firebrand.

"Oh but then he wouldn't be EXACTLY like in his own game!"


Welp

 

[Riki]

Ridley mii costume.

Ridley me this, Sakurai!
Who's afraid of the big bad Samus?

 

[greenteaa]

5 hours to go!

Is it just me, or are directs like this more exciting than Christmas?

 

[RayearthRob]

Nintendo Direct: Bad Ending

Metroid: Federal Force two versions announced.

 

[Kouriozan]

To be honest I wouldn't mind if rool is announced today

With the reveal of DKCR 3, too

 

[dacuk]

This is the day for Bayonetta in Smash Bros.!

 

[Seven Force]

All I hope for from the direct:
Smash DLC (Hopefully Issac and/or Wolf)
Pokemon Z

What I'll probably get:
Whole bunch of shit I don't care about

What I want isn't all that realistic though, so my expectations are already rather low.

 

[Anth0ny]

No, that's completely different group of people. Street Fighter 3 fans were very upset that we didn't get any SF3 characters in initial roster so some of them kinda started the arguments about several subjects. It was getting too silly at the point. They finally calmed down after Ibuki, Alex and Urien got semi-confirmed for DLC.

I still don't understand what the heck Padwarrior talking about. Saying that Snake's begs is same size as Street Fighter 3 Fans' dramas is like saying that a dog's size is same as an elephant's size.

Only way that you could compare Smash fans to Street Fighter 3 fans, which is pretty much Ridley fans. (No offense to anyone but I'm grateful that y'all have been quiet about it lately)

what the hell

I don't frequent the SFV thread, but after pretty much every Street Fighter character ever made their way into SFIV, and Capcom announced their whole character DLC schedule/strategy, was there really any doubt that a bunch of Third Strike characters would make their way into V at some point? I'm all but certain that every SFIV character will eventually make their way into V, and then some.

 

[PadWarrior]

With the reveal of DKCR 3, too

Lol oh man

 

[RaidenXZ]

Nintendo Direct: Bad Ending

Metroid: Federal Force two versions announced.

Even worse ending, Metroid Prime: Federation Force is a New Nintendo 3DS exclusive like Xenoblade.....

 

[cacildo]

Nintendo direct worst ending

- mario tennis video
- animal crossing party video
- xenoblade x video
- yoshi wooly world video
- pikmin 3 video
- "Iwata who?"
- END

 

[takriel]

5 hours to go!

Is it just me, or are directs like this more exciting than Christmas?

If you're a Zelda fan, this Direct should feel somewhat like this magical feeling you got as a kid when you awoke on Christmas morning

 

[Weebos]

I honestly want K. Rool to be announced just so I can stop hearing about it.

 

[freeofgreed]

Came into this thread scared thinking I missed it, then I remember you add 3 hours to get pacific time not minus.
