Is it as weightless as people say it is? I might have to get me one of those after I get some motion+ controllers.

Yeah, it's definitely lightweight, lighter than a CG controller I think.
I like it, a lot more ergonomic than the WiiU pad or the classic controller. Never had a regular Wii pro controller though.

Oh wow, when does E3 officially start then?
Also take it 'images only' thing was a mistranslation on Iwata's part and we're still getting a trailer.
It officially starts on the Tuesday, so June 11th. However, before can literally mean hours before E3 actually starts. But the hype train should start on June 7th.

I hope that they are not going to host Nintendo Direct on Monday since there are many shows on that day. I think 4 or 5 shows.
Heyo, my new poll is out, and it's pretty extensive.

You're missing Kongo Jungle from Smash 64 D:
Dream Land 64 and Yoshi Island 64, too
Urban Ruins from S&P is listed twice for some reason
It's "Planet Wisp", not "Wisp World"
"Twilight Town" was Kingdom Hearts 2, not 1; did you mean "Traverse Town"?

Weird how slow this thread has gotten.
Obviously because of all the new topics, but still. ('Tis the calm before the storm.)

Yes. Let's cancel out the blue swordsmen with.... blonde swordsmen!
Kidding aside I would like to see Isaac but it wont phase me if he's not in. He's simply not relevant anymore :/, imo. Man I still think a console Golden Sun would have been a sight to see. The first games were amazing.

Let's go with the one that actually had a good game last gen.
(And is confirmed to have a future.)

I think we'll get both. Xenoblade is almost certainly getting Shulk and Golden Sun also has a good chance of getting a rep (in which it'd be Isaac). Both are popularly requested characters and are among the more important misc. franchise left (Punch-Out is more important, but after those two, Golden Sun and Xenoblade are the most important franchise that haven't been rejected yet).I'm torn between Isaac and Shulk.
Then again, why not both?
If we do get Isaac, I'm hoping it's the adult version.

As for Shorts's poll...
Results as of 160 votes on veterans and newcomers. Also results on stages.
Sadly, we can't look up the results, so we have to take what we can get from Shorts himself, but this will probably be the best poll we get.
Do note that the results will be fluid as the poll opened less than twelve hours ago.
heh, that about sums about how I feel about it. Tis a shame though, Isaac would have been great with those elemental attacks as his specials but I don't know if he has enough to warrant Sakurai, who is probably working feverishly to design characters to be implemented by namco's crew, to take another look at him.
Heh, Banjo? It's looking pretty good, imo. The top with Megaman and Mewtwo seem to be consistent with the other poll.

I hope that people continue to vote for whoever they want and not fall under the trap that because a character is likely that they must vote for said character. Even if I don't care about Banjo-Kazooie appearing (although I did love Banjo-Kazooie and Tootie), I can very much see the desire for them.
As for Mewtwo and Mega Man, I'd say that at this point that they're the two most wanted characters for this game. If Sakurai is going to influence the inclusion of a character primarily around fan demand like he did with Sonic, it's likely going to be one (if not both) of these two (and it's not like popularity is the only thing going for their inclusion either).
Agreed. I hate that train of thought. Especially considering how many people come and vote on my polls with this in mind.
Also would like to say thanks to everyone who participated, it's greatly appreciated.
It hurts because it's true. I just feel weird about seeing young Isaac with Shulk, so it's an aesthetics thing. Unfortunately, Isaac's best shot was probably for brawl. I've my expectations set on Shulk though, I love his design.
My fingers are fucking crossed!
I always go overboard when voting on these things.

Getting so close I can taste it.
Tastes like... Smash Bros.
Tastes like... Smash Bros.
Heh, adult Isaac looks as if he could work as a clone of Ganondorf. :l
I think people are definitely voting more with their wishes but a few logical picks as well. There are so many choices compared to the last one it will be fun to see how it stacks up with the true roster starting with the first newcomers are revealed. For Brawl, I didn't know what people wanted other than the regular picks like Krystal and Geno, etc.
And true, hopefully if Megaman is in Sakurai gets that stuff taken care of earlier this time.
taste like... mass hysteria mixed in with the Smash cycle creating a concoction of sortsI can name quite a few problems with that poll. As an illustrative example, the poll lists both the Guar Plains and The Bionis Leg as the only two stage options from Xenoblade. The Guar Plains is the Bionis' Leg. They are the same thing (well, the Guar Plains is the most prominent sub-section of the Bionis Leg, which lends its name to the Leg's field song).
Some of the the other issues include no option to mention the heroines from the Sin and Punishment games (despite the fact that they share equal billing and screen time with the male heroes), some confusing options for Link, and a complete lack of Melia or Riki from Xenosaga in either playable character or assist trophy form (despite every other character appearing).
I really don't think that a "comprehensive" poll will ever be comprehensive enough. I ran into way too many choices that I wanted to make that I couldn't. For example, Mediuth from Fire Emblem as a boss character, or some representation from Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.
I appreciate the effort you went to in order to create the poll, though.

Golden Sun 3 did receive good reviews, even if it wasn't on the same scale as the previous two games.
I'd say his best shot is now. Isaac probably didn't get into Brawl because his competitions (Wario and Olimar) were overall, better choices. Now he is among the best additions left and with the possibility of three new series, there's a real chance that he gets in.
So are mine. Mewtwo and Mega Man are two of my most wanted characters for this game.
I think part of the reason why Snake and Sonic were so hard to fit in Brawl was because Snake was a very unorthodox character for the game and Sonic had to deal with beating time constraints. Mega Man, if in, would be planned from the start, so while he would still be a difficult fit by nature of third-party, not being an unorthodox third-party character like Snake and not having to beat a deadline like Sonic would make things easier on Sakurai than last time.

It's not close enough if we don't have any SSB4 E3 rumors like we did last year and two years ago.
Indeed. He would. I hope that Ganondorf's model would based on OOT/Melee form in SSB4 due to OOT3D. I admitted that I really want Geno to be in but his inclusion wouldn't happens due to Square-Enix and his outdated game.
Also you should get involved with prediction contest since you are one of few regular smash that are not involved, along with ScraftyDevil Boss Doggie, qq more, Mr. Fix, BGBW and few more.
The reason why I think that Mega Man have better chance to be in SSB4 this time because Ono teased Nintendo vs Capcom for no reason. It triggered the suspicion from me.
Yeah, this time is only hope and last chance for Isaac to be in SSB as playable character due to Golden Sun 3 got released recently comparing to length of release date between SSBB and Golden Sun 2. However one person made good point that it's extremely rare that second party character become playable character.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Hm... what if religious figures were in Smash?

I'd main Grima. ALL HAIL THE FELL DRAGON!
I'll get on that soon, but I'd have to sit down and really think about it. At the very least, I really just want Skyloft and the Comet Observatory as stages, with Snake, Ness, Marth (his brawl/melee design is way better than his shadow dragon one), and Falco returning, and Isaac, Shulk, Megaman and Palutena as newcomers.

If the dojo returned I think i'd prefer less info overall to keep some surprises intact, less updates on the whole but still handing out some tidbits on a regular enough basis, plus I don't need to go through the specifics of how to recover, name entry and all of that once again.
Yeah. Though to be fair, there'd have been surprises for Brawl if it didn't get delayed. A lot of the secrets were returning guys though, I'd like if they kept a good handful of new guys secret this time around.

I think I value months of pre-game hype more than the actual game itself personally, so bring on the Dojo like never before Sakurai!
IntelliHeath

Nope, You don't need to. You can edit and finish that later on. I'm thinking about waiving the requirement of tiebreaker if people don't want to do it. Evenly it will be their losses if they got tied.
SAME HERE! I NEED IT TOO!
Right now I'm trying to contain the hype until 7 days before the ND date. They need to hurry up and announce it.
Alright. No pressure.
They should announce Dojo incoming in a week after E3 then it would be epic enough for me.
Super Smash 64 had it? I thought it was just a website. I know Melee and Brawl tho.
I love both.
Yeah, 64 had it. There weren't daily updates, but the name of the site is the same as the Japanese Melee and Brawl Dojos (SumaBura Ken).

No, that would ruin the fun. You never know if you're going to get a new character reveal, or a how to block update! So thrilling!

I would take that with a grain of salt, considering that it mentions Mario Kart Wii-U not coming until 2014 (which I really doubt). Personally, I doubt this rumor, but the only way to find out is when characters start to get reveal. If Bayonetta gets in (which as I said before, I just don't see happening), it'll be at the trailer where the first batch of characters are revealed.
Hm, seems early for leaks but who knows.

Today that same website posted a list of the characters who will supposedly be revealed in the next trailer (along with information on Retro's next games).

Personally, I don't buy it. This site has posted some legitimate stuff in the past, but from what I can tell, they don't have a spotless track record.
