I feel like Style Savvy has a similar issue to Nintendogs - does Nintendo really want players beating the shit out of a completely normal, mostly realistic, non-combative teenage girl? Wii Fit Trainer is at least abstracted and inhuman-looking. That being said, Sakurai did consider Ayumi Tachibana for Melee, and she's equally "some random girl," so maybe it's not that big an issue.

I'd love to see a Fashionista show up as an Assist Trophy at least. Maybe do something like the Find Mii stage and give bonuses to characters based on the color of their outfits.

 

[BGBW]

I've heard so many positive things about Style Savvy over the years I'm actually contemplating getting the upcoming 3DS version.

Well, you can beat the shit out of a dog and a duck in Smash 4. While the dog's levels of normality are questionable, the duck seems to be just a regular duck.

It sits on a dog. Enuff said.

Well I trusted Syn Sophia/AKI with my wrestling games, I suppose I'd trust them with fashion games as well.

 

[Nightbird]

Holy crap, Style Savvy is getting mentioned!?

It's one of the best underrated games and it sucks that North America has no plans of bringing over the next installment yet.

 

[stan423321]

Sorry, all the style talk reminds me of the best Metroid game ever. Let me replay it whole before rejoining the discussion.

Indeed it does, but it also looks perfectly normal. The dog walks on its hind legs and... laughs, which isn't exactly normal behavior for dogs.

 

[The Bankslammer]

all this talk about non-combative characters is reminding me that i never got my vote for ted & archie from nintendogs in before the ballot closed D:

maybe next time, boys

Well they were Miis in the 3DS version right, so you could always use that route.

if only miis could make incidental dog puns

Laughing, sure. Have you never been jumped on by a dog? Seriously? Getting from there to walking for a while is achievable by training for lighter dogs.

There's a big difference between walking for a while (which might be achievable for real life dogs) and walking for more than a while when holding a box with its front legs (which is something the dog from Duck Hunt can do).

Spoiler

Why are we even having this discussion?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

This might come as a surprise, but Duck Hunt dog is not real

Yeah, Metroid: Other M is definitely one of best game in the franchise. /s

What actually helped Duck Hung is the dog look like he popped out of Looney Tunes show. I like the design overall.

NO. You lie. All lies! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Indeed. Its design and mannerisms are very Looney Tunes-like, which is nice. I really dig the cartoon-like characters in Smash.

Yes he is, and I along with many others have the amiibo to prove it!

Comparably, duck is not realistic since it can carry a dog three times its size in the air. One isn't much more cartoonish than the other.

That's a very good point.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Is it bad I'm still pretty disappointed one of my favorite songs from Wind Waker didn't return?

The stage just doesn't feel right without it. It's the song of Wind Waker. It's basically the main theme of the game. The song is basically "high seas adventure" in song form.

The remix in the game has the crappy fairy fountain thrown in so I can't just sit and chill in the ocean with the music.

 

[MrSaturn99]

that remix is awesome be quiet

Spoiler

I miss it too

 

[Dr. Buni]

The lack of the "Great Sea" song and Molgera's theme kinda killed my interest in buying the Pirate Ship stage. For now.

Btw, if Magicant is ported to the Wii U someday, I hope they pick a few songs from Earthbound for the stage, like maybe the Sanctuary Guardians Theme and "Pokey Mean Business!".

1.1.3 might be sooner than we think. Glitch to make Charizard ungrabable.

Not really sure how to actually reproduce it.

 

[stan423321]

Guys, what it this is all a hint that the DLC character is a ghost?

 

[Zubz]

Huh. I wonder how they pulled that off? Or if anyone else has a glitch like this after the last patch. Either way, I'm still hoping for an update by the end of the month, what with all this secretive talk of a newcomer/of a Direct coming up. So maybe fixing Charizard will just be one small part of a much-larger 1.1.3?

Guys, what it this is all a hint that the DLC character is a ghost?

Fatal Frame Halloween DLC incoming?

Spoiler

Please?

 

[Nocturnowl]

Like a dead character? maybe I can reignite my K.Rool hopes after all.

 

[JazzmanZ]

The new character is rumor-man.

He attacks by spilling out fake rumors and giving all the characters hype meters.
Once the hype meter hits the top it blows up and all the characters are burnt out, KO'd easily.

Megaman is already in the game.

How about we just go and lay on the floor and feel like garbage....that's okay right?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I know it's strongly implied to be Inklings, but there are a few other characters who fit the criteria.

Balloon Fighter
Isaac
Dixie
Chorus Kids
Paper Mario
Captain Toad

All those those people have expected would get into Smash eventually, so they wouldn't be terribly surprising.

The "popular on social media" thing is kind of a non-point because every DLC for Smash would be popular on Social Media. Even Pichu.

 

[Neoxon]

It looks like everyone on Japan Time knows who the character is, since the name of said character was bleeped out.

As long as we listen to some Spooktunes, bro.

Could you give me a brief summary of what was said? I can't listen to the video right now, unfortunately.

Basically, they went on to talk about a character that was not only bleeped out, but was fast-forwarded. It's not Wolf, Shantae, or Shovel Knight since both were speculated over without any bleeps.

This character is just begging to be leaked

 

[BGBW]

Apparently it's a character they've spoken about before that caused Reddit to read too much into things.

So just listen to all previous 35 podcasts and work out the answer from there.

 

[Ryce]

Was the censored character only briefly brought up out of context, or were they specifically discussing the leak?

The background moving faster implies that Roger rambled on about the character for a bit.

At this point, I'd be genuinely shocked if it wasn't the Inklings.

Bow to King Charizard! (only for few days)

Indeed. Its design and mannerisms are very Looney Tunes-like, which is nice. I really dig the cartoon-like characters in Smash.

Yep. It's pretty awesome. I'm glad that I would able to feel so satisfying with Duck Hunt as it's character.

I really hope so. I'm feeling optimistic.

It's Jill from Drill Dozer.

It's why she was retired as an assist trophy.

 

[Kjellson]

Just spill the beans somebody. I can't TAKE IT anymore.

 

[Muzy72]

None of these guys know who the character is. Stop buying into their attention seeking nonsense.

 

[Dr. Buni]

On the subject, you used that Duck Hunt avatar for so long, that it is easy to relate the character with you and vice-versa.

Don't play with my emotions.

It was quite disappointing that they got rid of Jill (Drill Dozer). I love that assist trophy sine it could be lifesaver sometime.

Yeah, that's true. I have been supporting Duck Hunt ever since Melee got released. Ironically, same for Little Mac.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Basically, wolf's getting replaced by krystal.

oh u

A verified NoA insider tweeted about having exciting Nintendo news but that they couldn't share it. At least three people, some of which have had verified sources in the past and some of which are close to him, have publicly stated its a Smash newcomer thats first party on the way. Vague descriptions point to it being most likely Inkling and it'd fall in line with Splatoon updates slated to go down soon. Its all speculation. They might be fucking with us but what do we know. At least one person I know who vouches for this is someone I personally trust so I dunno.

Ah so it's something like that. I wonder if we'll find out this week.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

don't play with my heart like that
