I'm just expecting her to showcase some of the weapons (like the crossbow) regular Link doesn't already tbh. If she's anything like Toon Link she may very well not even factor into the expanded plot anyway, making her personality something the player can infer for themselves I guess.
Perfectly cool with her being a sister/separate person or whateves, I just think the design they had when she was originally cut was pretty cool.

It's like they forgot about Smash!
The exact same day of the Ryu smash direct ...

I know but did we get any Update on Smash announcement? The answer is no.

I'm kind of curious if the Wii U DLC selling more is actually people buying more Wii U specific DLC, or people like me who just buy 3DS DLC on the Wii U shop because it's easier to use.
If you buy the 3DS DLC from the Wii U eshop you just get a code you have to enter in the 3DS eshop anyway. It's not any easier.

Since I'm buying the cross console bundles anyway, it's easier on the Wii U, as the Wii U shop loads faster and I can do it without booting the game.

Seems like the Clown Car design is gonna be Bowser Jr.'s default from now on. Yet another thing Smash adds to the canon.
The Junior Clown Car has been prevalent since New Super Mario Bros. Wii. NSMBU, Sticker Star, and Dream Team predate (or coincide with) Smash Bros., and they all feature Bowser Jr. in the Clown Car. Even the arm extensions in Mario Tennis use the NSMBU design.

Yea, but never as a playable character in the car until Smash. Bowser had appeared in the Clown Car several times before as well, but he's never been in it while playable.
Plenty of spin offs staring Jr as a playable character have come out since NSMB Wii, but only Smash and now Tennis are the only two to have him in the car at all times. Traditionally he had always just been on the ground like normal, Smash started the trend of him being playable in the car.

Technically you're wrong, he piloted it in Mario Kart DS.
This is not the actual clown car, but it's obviously based on the clown car and changed to be more fit as a kart.

But any character could drive that. It's not even his default vehicle.
Red Arremer

It's his secondary kart. And it belongs to him. Just because you can unlock the ability to drive any kart with every driver doesn't mean it's not his - default or not. That's completely irrelevant.

This thread is going to become quieter since we just lost other member here.

Anything's better than his Y form, I suppose.
Gonzo? He went out like the NHR he was.

That's just X with some glowey bits, not really a new form and seems entirely exclusive to Pokken.
What's more interesting is he uses Mewtwo's Up Smash.

What'd Gonzo do to get banned? Or did he just leave on his own accord (just going off his profile)?

Dark Mewtwo X reminds me of Unknown from Tekken.
Too bad his badass-ness won't save him from Smash
He also has a fourth-wall victory pose

Gonzo was a bit harsh with his opinions, but I would take him over one or two other members here (like balladetc who have the power of ruining discussions at times).
Gonzo's post in the XCX thread was really stupid though.

Well I feel loved
Anyway, if they plan on announcing more games to release this year, they'll probably have to announce a Direct either this week or next.

The thread about Lin's localization changes, what did he say?
Speaking of which, I need to stop posting stupid stuff in threads like this one too.
I'm honestly going to miss his tomfoolery. Does anyone know if it's a permanent suspension?

I think I remember a mod saying he was a new account of a formerly perma'd member and they were just letting him be, so I assume it's perma.
MrSaturn99
Member
Yeah, I remember that too. I wonder what his former account was.
No idea if it's a perma or not, but given that fact I'm inclined to agree.

RIP Gonzo
I never butted heads with him but now the only one left to carry the K. Rool Klan's flag is URC.

I'm still a K. Rool supporter, but then again I also support DK characters in general. I'll miss Gonzo.

I'm still down as having K. Rool as my neorice icon if he ever gets in (I got bored of Toon Link); I just don't think it's that big a deal he get in over Dixie. I still absolutely want one or the other to be DLC.

I've always supported K. Rool but Gonzo went so far as to claim the ballot would be a sham if K.Rool wasn't added, so that made it hard to voice that in any earnestness.

I've been vocal about disliking K. Rool as a character, but the way some misconstrued that as me saying K. Rool didn't deserve to get into the game over other candidates always left me a sour taste.

Let's move on to something else, it's all in the past now.

Anyway, no rumor has yet panned out and the trickle of Smash news has dried up completely. We're quickly approaching the longest length of time we've had to wait for a character--it's been 140 days since the release of Lucas, Roy, and Ryu, while it was 145 days between the release of the Wii U version and Mewtwo. And we don't know a single damn thing about what's coming, while Mewtwo was revealed before the Wii U version was released, and Lucas was revealed before Mewtwo released. I can't help but think keeping the fanbase in the dark is the best way to keep momentum.
EDIT: Though if you wanted to be pedantic you could stretch out the Mewtwo length to 227 days by starting from the initial Japanese release of the 3DS version and the date that you could purchase Mewtwo if you didn't register both versions. But even still, this is definitely the longest length of time in this game's marketing cycle for which we have gone with absolutely no character information at all and that's just a marketing failure in my view.

Since E3 and onwards this year has been a pretty big marketing failure on Nintendo's part; it's pretty obvious Iwata had a huge hand in how Nintendo presented itself to the public. Even more so than I originally assumed.
That sucks about Gonzo. I mean, he was a hothead, but I wanted to see his reaction to the Shovel Knight K. Rool reveal! Plus, he wasn't a bad guy. He just really wanted a character he liked.
Anyway, I like AkuMewtwo... Er... I thought that portmanteau would work better. And I guess it's design evokes Unknown far more than its fight conditions evoke Akuma...
Regardless, I doubt the ties between him and Smash are going to go any further than that shared move, but it's still really cool looking. I'd love a DLC costume of this new Mewtwo, though, if we had full-on Alt. Costumes for some characters. Granted, being a Pokemon character means that it's unlikely, even if we do get anything, but despite being stereotypically "edgy," I'd love to see it in Smash, somehow.

I feel like the currently-undated-but-announced-as-existing Direct before the end of the year will be where our next Smash info comes from. Whether it be stages, a character announcement, or more mii costumes I have no idea.
But Nintendo revealing that the Smash DLC is their top selling digital purchase on both Wii U and 3DS tells me they might be trying to figure out how long that train will keep rolling before it runs out of steam. And honestly it's probably longer than they think.
