Can someone take the above, and using Photoshop magic, add the following:

- Wolf
- Ice Climbers
- Snake
- Inklings
- King K. Rool
- Shovel Knight

Also, feel free to rearrange the icons so it makes "sense."

Hoping someone can do me this favor. Eager to see what it looks like. Eager to believe.

Here you go.

Don't feel like re-arranging them though.

It's always fun to read these just to see what people make up.

Though this "prediction" seems like it's reaching a little bit for the low hanging fruit to put it nicely.

When writing a fake, it's far more believable to make a few unexpected decisions and not just give everyone what they want.

The ones that just throw everything that everyone wants into them are pretty much always obviously fake.

That's fine. Still beautiful.

Snake feels so out of place there.

Get with the times Snake! Brawl Designs are behind us!

I remember seeing that K.Rool artwork. Absolutely loved it.

Tap Girl

Thanks!

So how much or how often did Nana attack on her own? How much did she track opponents? I'm honest in all these questions. I don't remember much of how she worked separate from Popo.

I'm trying to get a baseline idea of how complex she is. I wonder if she could be scaled back to something akin to Olimar's Pikmin, etc.

Actually, the best way to "rework" Nana might be to just give her a separate HP bar, and have her always with Popo no matter what. While she's around, you get twice as many hits (i.e. two hammer hits instead of one), but if you keep letting her take the bulk of the damage (getting hit from behind, etc), she'll disappear until your next stock, and in the meantime you have to make do with halved attacks (i.e. one hammer hit instead of two).

This way, no AI is needed since she never wanders separate from you. It simply doubles your attacks until she takes too much damage and disappears.

From my understanding, Nana basically becomes a full character when separated from Popo. Her priorities are a bit different than standard CPU characters, but she otherwise acts like one.

I love a good 4Chan "leak"



"Let me list out everything the internet wants"

Another case of someone suggesting Bomberman as a Snake replacement. I know Snake had some explosive items but it's not like you could just give Bomberman his moves and say it's true to those games. Such a silly idea.

 

[Green Mamba]

If Nana could have been scaled like Olimar's Pikmin she would have been. Per Sakurai's own words, they essentially turned off the physics engine in the 3DS version and they still couldn't run the Ice Climbers. And any other option to alter the Ice Climbers would change them too much. So long as Smash 4 is being tethered to a console that can't compete with the Gamecube the Ice Climbers aren't happening.

 

[Weiner Whistle]

The image you posted was broken. I'm afraid to know what you might've posted.

It was just three seals in a dance club. However, finding it in Google Images exposed inhumane, horrible atrocities to my face.

Tap Girl

Huh. I guess I never really realized that it's the same girl in every game, so I never thought she was that significant. Maybe I've been overlooking the best potential Rhythm Heaven rep. After reading that thread, call me a fan of Rhythm Girl or whatever you want to call her!

Here you go.

Don't feel like re-arranging them though.

Replace Shovel Knight with a Rhythm Heaven character, and this roster would be absolutely perfect to me! I could also do without Snake (I don't really mind either way, really), so Dixie Kong in his place (or in K. Rool's place, as long as we get one of them as a Donkey Kong newcomer) might be nice. Though as optimistic as I'd like to be, I doubt we're getting that many more DLC character, unfortunately. ._.

Yeah, it's the same girl. She isn't my favorite pick for a Rhythm Heaven rep (my favorite pick is the Monkey who appears in a ton of songs), but I support her regardless and I would prefer her over the Karate Joe and a few other suggested RH reps.

...I want a RH rep.

 

[BGBW]

Is it confirmed to be the same same girl or just a series of different girls much like the series has lots of different monkeys?

 

[Tyeforce]

Well, I don't think it's been 100% confirmed to be the same girl, but the design is always the same outside of the clothes and hairstyle. Also, an image of the girl on the Japanese website for the GBA game shows her in different styles, with a description that says "Very fashionable, I appear in a lot of clothes." So it can be implied that it's the same unnamed girl in every game, just with different clothes/hairstyles.

 

[Neiteio]

Is Tap Girl even called Tap Girl?

She's not been given any official name other than "Girl from Tap Dance."

 

[Neiteio]

The name "Tap Girl" would have unfortunately lewd consequences.

(Or quite fortuitous, if you have my sense of humor)

 

[EulaCapra]

Regarding a Direct I said:

I'll give it until Friday. After that...

Welp. It may happen next week, it may not. But I will honor my word. I pray Hell has Wifi waiting for me to stream it next week.

 

[Blues1990]

So, have the rumours about the upcoming Nintendo Direct been proven false?

 

[Neoxon]

The Friday one was proven false.

[Kjellson]

I can't wait to be disappointed next week.

Your "sense of humor" makes browsing this thread quite uncomfortable, but you probably knows that already (and also don't seem to care, because why would you?).

Well, at least we are getting a Splatoon balance patch.

 

[SuperLeviathan]

Then I suppose that we could get So-Po as DLC.

So-Po, Wolf and Inkling would make a nice, plausible last bow of DLC for the game. You'd have the same "Melee Vet, Brawl Vet, Newcomer" pattern that we saw with Roy, Lucas and Ryu, and Nintendo would have synergy with two of its biggest first-party releases.

I wouldn't miss the IC team gimmick. As countless others have said, make the condor Popo's Up+B and you'd be golden.

 

[PK Gaming]

Solo Ice Climber... I don't think i'd like that very much.

 

[Blues1990]

Okay, thank you guys for clarifying it. And, oh boy, people are really becoming desperate if they think it will happen next week.

 

[Pokemaniac]

With the huge maintenance happening on Monday (not for Smash, but for the Nintendo Network in general), I think it's fair to expect that something will happen next week.

I'm personally going to expect nothing, as given to how Nintendo has been releasing a bunch of their stuff (the new Smash Bros. Stages, Splatoon's major patch update, etc.) without any notice and usually when they feel the time is right.

 

[Neoxon]

We have until the 23rd until the supposed character rumor is also proven false.

I hope its not about that ice climber fiction post.....I thought it was funny and not that creepy.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I woke up and nothing eh

 

[SenorArdilla]

I'm inclined to believe that there's no Direct after all.

 

[Crayolan]

Dodou's "wait, just give me a sec, okay?" hurt animation, where he flies back and lifts one toe up in the air.

Jynx in general. Electrode's and Snorlax's googly eyes. Magnemite and Ton exploding into a million pieces when they die. Slowpoke taking a few seconds to react to anything. Slobro having to be told by Shellder that he's dead.

The announcer mispronouncing names like Ekans

The power behind moves like Hyper Beam. The sky turns deep red and a huge blast comes out with sparks everywhere. Psychic covering the entire screen in a deep blue haze with a quick flash. Explosion blowing up everything. And they had to be flashy like this because you had to be fooled into not noticing each Pokemon only had 2-3 attack animations.

The game had a ton of character. EAD seems to have had a ton of fun making and animating so many different Pokemon. They all had their own unique personality and animation quirks.

The best animation in any pokemon game ever comes from PBR though:

 

[MrSaturn99]

Unpopular opinion: I'd rather not have the Ice Climbers at all if they can''t even have their unique gimmick. If they really were made into a single character, then that'd probably mean they would be stuck like that for the rest of Smash Bro's lifespan. It's why I can't see Pokemon Trainer being revisited with Charizard being his own character slot now.

So, yeah, I can wait like five years. By that point, Nintendo probably should have a handheld strong enough to run both ICs at once, especially considering the N3DS is already ahead of the original model.

I feel the same way; the duo is the character(s).

did neiteio get banned for boot fetishism again

Among other reasons, I imagine.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Gonna disagree in Stadium having the best animations, I feel VI surpassed that, if only because they don't have those really weird, odd animations.

BR obviously has the best though.

Speaking of Pokemon I kinda want pupper to be in the game now

 

[Gonzo The Great]

I want Kamek as a second Yoshi rep. Badly. He's the most important Mario villain not yet playable, and a moveset would be piss easy to come up with.

He wouldn't be a bad choice; though I'm more surprised he's managed to avoid being playable in Mario Kart since the abortive attempt to include him in 64.

Looks like something from Ben10*.

*I've not actually seen Ben10 so I could be chatting nonsense.

I remember when I saw a screenshot of beta MK64 with Kamek. It was in the Guinness Book of Records and they made no hint that it was a beta screenshot so I honestly thought there was a third Mario Kart coming out (I was pretty young and this was before the Internet was widely available).

 

[Boss Doggie]

Nah zypuppy looks more like a green lantern

 

[BGBW]

With all these RP posts it is clear that Neiteio was the one behind that Smash thread fan-fiction . And even if he wasn't lets just say he was to finally put an end to that mystery.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

After playing Wooley World yesterday, pink, blue and green yarn Yoshi would make good Yoshi skins. They're proportions aren't even all that different from Smash.

It's too bad character skin DLC seems unlikely.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Seriously, it's really unfortunate that they've not done DLC costumes for the rest of the cast. Tons of stuff to choose from.

Dr. Luigi, Cosmic Mario, Cosmic Rosalina, Daisy (proper costume with name and voice actress), Dry Bowser, Dr. Wario, Yarn Yoshi, Boshi, shiny costumes for Pokémon, armoured Mewtwo, Funky Kong, Dark Link (proper, with name), Hilda, Demise, casual Toon Link, etc.

One of the most hyped thing for Smash U/3DS for me was the alts. So this would be a dream come true, but it doesn't seem like they wanna cash in on it for some reason.

 

[BGBW]

I'd just love to know the official reasoning behind some of the colour choices such as Wario's.

 

[TheDinoman]

I'd just love to know the official reasoning behind some of the colour choices such as Wario's.

It's just really weird that he had 12 alts in Brawl and yet was cut down to 8 in Smash, especially when Little Mac has like 16.

Whoa. Didn't expect to get back to see Neiteio was banned.
