Kirby's too big for Smash now, we should fully prepare for him to get immediately cut and replaced with
Super Mushroom confirmed?

Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS: Info Collection - Dojo, Mega Man and Trailer! 2014!
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
Yeah, I booted it up to check and I'm misremembering apparently. He only says Olimar in Brawl modes, but he says Pikmin & Olimar in the classic mode intro.
Evidently I've been playing too much SP Smash Bros ;(
edit: Actually he doesn't do it there either. I made it all up! Bleh, I could've sworn they said it somewhere.
Well I do have a couple of ideas on how it could work. Much like Sheik and PKMN Trainer, do the transformation with B-Down. Let it switch between Red, Blue and Green or Pink (would go with the latter since she's more combat oriented and uses a whip, sort of like Ivysaur).
Make Red the slow-but-strong hitter. Good moves for KOs but slightly slow at racking up damage.
Blue could be the inverse, the one that racks up damage and does fast moves but doesn't necessarily do the best KO moves. Sonic is similar in that regard. Meanwhile Green/Pink have long-range "safe" moves.
Sky's the limit with that kind of setup but much like Pokemon Trainer there's an incredible lot of balance issues to be considered.
Mastering level 9 CPU functions is how real Smash players play.
I think it's the art style or textures on Pikachu overall. It's face actually looks kind of flat compared to Brawl, there are less shapings of actual facial features.
As for fur, this is the closest thing I could think of. lol
Even if Pikachu is a mouse I have never thought of him as "furry, it would just look weird. Has anyone actually thought he would look better with realistic fur?

What I meant is that their attacks - hand, sword, whip, gun - are all giant!
What's the thing below it?
Ash after Gary hit his face with the door.
Is this Pikachu?
Classic Pikachu! although, with chibi character inside.
im okay with this.
GET HYPE!

So does this mean we're getting at least one character reveal every month?
It's too early to assume this is going to be a trend, but it bodes well.

That kind of talk will likely leave you very, very disappointed when next month comes and goes without anything. Trying to predict Sakurai is a fool's game.
It's good to see more characters, I guess. I never liked Oliamr personally, but he does have a unique moveset, which is what Sakurai's going for.
I noticed Brawl's models looked as if they were ripped straight off of the GameCube games, but I had't noticed until now that they used fraking vertex shaders for them, making lights look horrendous as a result.
I like how the Pikmin no longer look like they took no effort at all.

Unless Luigi's been bumped up to the starting roster, I wouldn't put money on it.
And mewtwo movie.

Not getting one character reveal a month would leave me disappointed. We don't have 45 months for 45 characters (;

Um... Alpha?
Also, they just deleted that tweet. SPECULATE AMONGST YOURSELVES.

He only says Pikmin & Olimar in the Japanese version.

Nintendo is clueless about their fanbase, the market, and lately even game development. I wouldn't be surprised if they are clueless about their own products too. And I think that's what that tweet is showing.

So Alpha, Brittany and Charlie are probably skins.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised though.

So do you think this clueless tweeter thought it was Alph from Pikmin 3, put "Alpha" instead because he/she is that goofy, and then after making that mistake of a mistake, realized his/her mistake and changed it? Because that tweet is back now, just corrected to "Olimar." I guess what I'm secretly hoping is that Alph was just accidentally revealed in some regard. But you're probably right.
They wrote Alpha on the FB post as well.

Seriously? This is just a simple mistake, no need to use this to bash Nintendo.
Precisely. It's increbible how bad Nintendo PR is lately. Not only they mistake Olimar for Alph, but they don't even know his name was changed from Alpha.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Announced on the 3DS fb page as well despite no 3DS screenshots of him

Unless there are no secret characters this time (possible, since he said the internet spoils everything anyway), I doubt he'll get revealed. He was not revealed on the dojo at all and was only announced after launch as a 'secret' character.
There is a possibility we'll get no 'secret' characters this time though, thanks to the internet. I still think we'll have to unlock them though.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Were secrets characters ever "secret"? I remember reading about Gandondorf, Luigi, Mewtwo and Game and Watch in magazines back for Melee.
I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Can't wait for the Little Macaroni and Queen Peachenstein announcements from Nintendo of America.
As a Nintendo fan I expect only the best from them, every word, every picture, it must be perfection to the highest degree! A mistake like this is absolutely disgusting!
They must apologies, promise to never do this again and give us all free Wii Us with Pikmin 3 to compensate to show how us gamers are right and they are wrong.
and put ridley in pls sakurai
Nintendo is alive and well, but they seriously need to get their shit togheter with PR and advertising if they want to go somewhere.
Pointing how bad their PR is not overeacting. Jumping over someone that points it out kinda is.

Well done, haha.
Heyt isn't wrong. They've been pretty out of touch with their fanbase lately, to the point of getting quite a bit of egg on their face. I don't think any of us are gonna take a torch to Ninty HQ or anything, but they really could use a bit of discipline amongst their social media and PR people, there's really no denying that.

Twitter and Facebook PR...oh boy end of the world. They just gone done made their company dead in the water. Good job Nintendo, YOU FUCKED UP!

That's just an example of a bigger problem. Youtube, Region Locking, and this week's Melee incident are bigger and better examples. What we're talking about is a trend of coming off as a company that doesn't understand what's good for its fans and good for its franchises, and doesn't take the time to try and improve that image.
P.S. I love Nintendo dearly.
Truly the most horrific of PR moves.

So Nintendo has shot themselves in the foot?
Yeah only newcomers will get trailers.
I was about to post this, thank you. The way Nintendo acts towards their potential/consumers has been really poor lately and the matters Rudolph mentioned just add uo to a horrible WiiU campaign unable to deliver a message to consumers followed of an absolute absence of promotion that lasted for months.
All of that is a big problem for Nintendo right now. This social media mistake is nothing by itself but the big picture is revealing.
And now I will continue talking abour Smash, if you don't mind.
One thing I miss about the old Dojo updates is text. It was cool reading about characters even if they were veteran ones. They explained a little bit about how they changed and why they were coming back. I would really want more things to be explained, just for amusement.
Isn't that because the japanese game came out first, so all of the 'secret' roster was revealed before it made it out west?
Yeah, Japan got Brawl a month before the US, so they were discovering all the secrets before us.
