Speaking of which, this is Tamaki's make or break point. No Shovel Knight on Thursday and he's done.

"Brasil"? You're Brazilian? Didn't even know they would play against Argentina on Thursday.
It is probably none of these, I say.
Yay

I want Wolf to be announced so I can be relieved and relax a bit. At this point he's my single most wanted DLC character, and anything else would just be a bonus.
I wrote this in the Direct thread, how I think it'll go down.

Not going to lie, that one still makes me smile :3
A fun thought though... While sakurai said that any characters from here on are 'fanservice' he didn't actually say they'd be from the ballot
Aw yiss ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Direct hype won't stop my character updates!!

But how long will your order stay matched up with mine, I wonder? I have a feeling the order I'm using will throw people off once we get further down the line...
It'd be a touch odd for a Smash announcement to pay respect to the heroes of WWI & II.

As I've mentioned in this thread quite a few times, I'd absolutely love Dry Bowser as an afterthought DLC clone late in Smash 4's life.
Nintendo seems to love promoting him recently, probably because he's so easy to clone from Bowser in all games.
Call of Duty rep confirmed.
Dude, amazing! Thanks a lot for this, it's a very ingenious idea and mighty cool to boot. Without the names and that background the poses really have a classy tone.
Shame about Link's face but whatyergonnado.
I still remember that event in Japan prior to Smash 3DS' launch (I even made a thread compiling all that info) where reports from players at the event said Dry Bowser was confirmed as a skin for Bowser.
I was so happy about that back then.
I even considered making Bowser one of my mains because of the Dry Bowser skin alone but then, the same night we knew they were actually talking about the white and gray skin we all know.
I agree with you tho. The effort to put him in all these Mario spinoffs seem to be rather small due to sharing most of their bones (no pun intended) and animations.

Oh, I remember there was a Metal Sonic alt for Sonic, too. Shame that was fake.

Yea, he's an easy addition to any game with Bowser in it.
I'm not really bothered by "omg, three Marios, three Marths! etc" that's usually used against clones. I just like a lot of characters with variety, even if that variety is rather minor.
Metal Mario is one of my favorite spin off characters, and I always use him whenever I'm given the chance. Dry Bowser too, although he at least has played a major role in the most recent Mario postgames. In many ways, Dry Bowser was actually the "true" Final Boss of NSMB2 and Super Mario 3D Land.
Even just adding a voice filter to Bowser, updating his model, recoloring his fire blue, and adding some bone clack sounds when he attacks and some minor +/- stats would satisfy me.

I'm actually still surprised that Nintendo even made Dry Bowser. Considering what he is/means he's a surprisingly dark addition to the otherwise fairly soft and cuddly mario franchise. No complaints from me though: I grew up on stuff like Brother's Grimm fairy tales so i'm used to seeing characters resurrected from the dead or reassembled from their chopped up body parts only to spring to life again
Rather than adding clones I really think the game could benefit from a whole bunch of alt costumes like Dry Bowser, various Zeldas, etc. Sakurai might've said the odd thing or two about not doing them to represent different characters or soemthing in the past but alph and the original plans for Lucina show he's not really 100% stuck against them.

It's funny if you look at all the playable appearances of Boo and Dry Bones. If you stop and think, they're actually dead characters brought back, and Dry Bones is even shown to be zombie like, lurching around and basically being unkillable. Paper Mario kind of skirts totally around this, Boos aren't really seen as being dead at all, and they even talk about being young ghosts as if Boos have a natural life cycle and aren't ghosts. On the flip side Paper Mario totally makes Dry Bones into mindless zombie koopas.
Also Mario got quite dark reading the bios of the ghosts in Luigi's Mansion. Some of them are quite sad, and they don't even bother to pretend these people didn't die.
Dry Bowser is also a totally separate character from Bowser now, but I guess they never explained how that happened. It just did. I guess having an undead Bowser wasn't really something they wanted to keep around, but a giant skeleton relative to Bowser was fine.

Dry Bowser...
I remember those early updates and impressions, I got so excited! To me, Little Mac has 2 distinct costume changes and Zero Suit Samus has 1, when I realized that I thought for sure the majority of the cast would get at least 1. When Dry Bowser was just Dry Bowser colors I was so disappointed. it seemed like such a sure thing right? All the costume effort has gone into Mii's man.

I guess it depends on the game... the transition for the final boss in Mario Party 10 genuinely surprised me being as morbid as it was:

One of these days someone will use an Assist Trophy and Chunky Kong will appear and drop a pile of bananas on everyone.
Oh, well in Island Tour they explain Dry Bowser is just a relative.
So they can't seem to make up their mind, even in the same spin off series.

Sorry, I didn't know about that. That was actually the first time I recall seeing a post by that user.

Naw, I believe that he did it in the past.
I hate that I genuinely started wanting Papyrus in Smash. I didn't want to buy this far into the hype, damnit, but he'd make for a fun Zoner! At least I'm aware that he's a no hoper, but...
Glad I'm not the only one in denial!
