Nintendog would be a great WTF character.
Sakurai prefers Nintencats.
Yea when I think about it, Brawl isn't really that slow. It's the other effects that makes it feel slower. The characters are more floaty making the game feel slower since you will likely be in the air alot longer and even the attack sounds are not as sharp and hard hitting as melee's or 64's.
:l
No sir....no. Sakurai even thought a Animal Crossing character was too passive for Smash. And it wouldn't look good if a realistic dog was getting the kibbles beat out of him.

Latias and Latios would be off so damn fast, seriously they pop out of like 25% of pokeballs and are pretty overpowered.
Man. Assist trophies and Pokeballs both really sucked in Brawl. Way too many that are annoying or just straight up overpowered.
Melee and 64 were a ton of fun to throw Pokeballs on high and screw around. They made things exciting without making you feel totally screwed over if you weren't the one to get it.
In Brawl, assists and Pokemon seem to come in three varieties: Useless like Starfy, annoying to everyone like Nintendog and Devil, or stupidly overpowered like Lyn or Kat & Ana.

Lil Mac was intentionally small since that's part of his gimmick, maybe too small. Same for Ray since it's like a toy robot.
I thought ATs were fine personally, just too many sword users
You're absolutely right, but I just thought it was sort of waste because even though these lesser characters are giving at least some representation, some weren't really noticeable, imo.
What? Snorlax and beedrill destroyed everyone.
Somebody please allay my fears.
Sakurai said that for the next SSB, he'd like to be able to exchange data between the 3DS and Wii games. Does this mean that the Wii-U version will have to be scaled down immensely to accomodate for the 3DS version?

The 64 and GBC Mario Golfs could exchange data, but they were not ports of each other.
Portable version of Smash to be the superior one confirmed?

Dude, 3DS game cards fan hold like, 8 GB. That's more than enoughto fit a game the size of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Here's to hoping.
I'd hope not.
I want my next gen. SSB to utilize all the new fangled gizmos inside the Wii-U, dang it!

You'll get a next gen SSB when Nintendo makes a next gen system. :3
We have nothing to worry about, both should be great and independent of each other. It's the least of our worries, imo. Even Melee's graphics still hold up a decade later. The only problem I can see is that it could increase development time to create two games but his team does have extended experience with the 3DS because of KI.

So... E3, what'll we get? :O

A possible brief mention by Iwata that SSB is a game that will one day exist for the Wii U and 3DS because Sakurai was successfully forced into it at least years show.
And even that's unlikely.

I agree that Pokeballs weren't as good as they were in Brawl but are you remembering Melee and 64 correctly. Melee and 64 most of the Pokemon were significantly overpowered and caused major damage. In Melee/64 when a Pokeball appeared everyone would make a mad dash towards it because it would cause major damage. In Brawl, it didnt matter nearly as much. A lot of them were just annoying and useless and Brawl had a lot bigger stages so it was easier to avoid pokemon.

And that's what I was talking about.

If Nintendo really does that, they've really misread their fanbase. Yeah, NSMB Wii might have sold more than Brawl, but Smash Bros at this point seems to be the game with the biggest appeal to their fanbase that would follow a presentation like this - no other game would really compare.
They managed to make the Brawl teaser a few months into development, so I hope they at least have something similar here.
Just a black screen with the words:
Super Smash Bros (no subtitle)
for 3DS and WiiU
and then Iwata will say that they are just confirming it is coming.
And a picture of Ridley and Mega Man.

I'm just forcing my expectations rock bottom, i'd be satisfied with a silhouette teaser image.
Iwata said that it's being worked on for Wii U and 3DS last E3.
A mention of the game by Sakurai during the conference and probably a couple of interviews with Sakurai by many different sites. I'm not sure if he'll confirm anything at this point but I would love to hear some people asks him straight to the point questions for once.
I'd like to know:
-How far are they into the development process, what are they working on first
-How will this game be different from the other smashes
-Are they cutting an characters
-how many new characters are they planning
-How will the two versions differentiate

If you're expecting anything more than that, you're misreading Nintendo. Hell, I'll be shocked if they've even come up with a NAME for it yet.

I'd guess they'll throw up a slide with a couple of character model renders or some concept art. Maybe unveil the first newcomer. This will be at the developer roundtable, not at the press conference.

Awesome: (CG) Trailer (at press conference especially)
Great: Some big info, like a newcomer or two, and maybe concept art
Neat: Some general info, like the difference between the 2 versions
Realistic: Sakurai gives the vague answers to questions he has been giving since Brawl's release. (laughs)

I expect a trailer ... but I don't really feel like re-stating my reasons for this.
I posted why more than a few times in this thread so you can find them if you want.
A logo... maybe.
Yep, thats what ive been thinking of other than the intetviews he might take. And how about that wiiu pro controller? I guess we'll have a standard controller to work with afterall.
At the very least, Nintendo have known the game wouldn't be far enough into development to show off playable footage for, since last year, when KI was delayed to the Spring.
Bearing that in mind, they may have looked at putting a CG trailer together in time for E3 instead? You don't even need to show an approximation of gameplay, just some characters with a newcomer or two.

That would just be incompetence... They don't really have any comparable franchise at this point. Well, they have, actual Mario titles - but I don't think it'd be a good idea to only push those for the WiiU when they're also resorting to them heavily in the 3DS lately. I mean, we just got Mario Kart and 3d Land and there's another 2d game coming... They'll have yet another 2d Mario for the Wii U at the same time already, but they really should stop there for now.
