The Samus thing was a throwback to the Dojo:

As you can see, for the Little Mac AT they did the same joke.

Ha ha, nice catch.

 

[Axass]

BRB going to watch the trailer another 10 times.

 

[Cody_D165]

holy fuck I just started the Direct

Sakurai has fucking done it again! FUCK YEEEEAAAAAHH SON

...totally going to main Mac. Even if he's the lowest of low tiers. Too fucking hype.

 

[Spinluck]

His Final Smash is the only letdown down.

 

[EightBitNate]

So when are we getting Dixie and Diddy?

 

[Kyzon]

So if we get to throw in filters to this game I'll never stop playing.

The beginning with Samus and Mac, and that Comic filter was so good.

 

[KRoTH]

=

Now everything makes sense...

 

[Loco4Coco]

Too bad people are disappointed by the Direct overall, kept my expectation super low and was rewarded in the first 5 minutes.

Guess tonight's pic will probably be about Little Mac, maybe mentioning how the boxing ring is the Punch-Out stage.

It makes me wonder what happens to Diddy. Maybe he'll be a secret character this time around?

My God, the assist model was ugly as SIN!

Diddy next week for sure at this point... but now I'm actually kinda worried about Dixie...

 

[Kjellson]

So this mean Diddy Kong is next week?

Who?

 

[GamerSoul]

This was a great reveal. I can't say that enough. Mac is going to be fun to use.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

But SuperSah said it was absolutely going to be Diddy because someone from Retro said so and that no one should pay attention.

 

[SmithnCo]

So hype! And a few people said that an all-punch moveset would be boring.

 

[Red Arremer]

Too bad people are disappointed by the Direct overall, kept my expectation super low and was rewarded in the first 5 minutes.

I thought the Direct was pretty awesome.
This reveal, MK8 trailer was cool, DKC TF footage made me have to change my pants, and Bayonetta 2 looks awesome.

Now everything makes sense...

Fucking dead.

[The Bankslammer]

how do my expectations keep getting exceeded

i should know better by now

 

[friskykillface]

Haha thought it was a new punch out for 3DS or Wii u but then I saw the smash sand bag and went D: B^)

Mac daddy up in this smash

Doc Louis will be a character too, watch

 

[Violet_0]

Little Mac is too small for Samus, she needs a bigger opponent

like Ridley

 

[Cody_D165]

Holy fuck I'm sure this was already pointed out but after rewatching the trailer the boxing ring has the full Punch-Out theme.

Fucking amazing.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

But SuperSah said it was absolutely going to be Diddy because someone from Retro said so and that no one should pay attention.

By the time the game comes out there'll be at least one character each individual person laid out a mini-thesis on as to why they wouldn't be there. At this point I'm probably going to be wrong about Dixie not being tag-teamed with Diddy for instance.

Hell despite the GAF leak (which I'm treating as legit now) people were arguing Mac was too 'western' or simplistic for Smash.

EDIT: I am way too fucking tired since I somehow read that as supersah being adamant for diddy not being in or something.

Wow, did not remember that. Nice find!

 

[FlynnCL]

He appears to have super armour in some attacks, along with a Counter. He also seems to have amazing combo ability with great speed.

His jumping height seems lacking, and his recovery appears to be absolutely terrible. This balances things especially considering he's a pure boxing character (who should stay in the ring).

Yeah, he's gonna be crazy dangerous.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Lil Mac is the perfect character to reveal on valentine's day.

 

[Red Arremer]

[ShockingAlberto]

Well you do get hearts in his game

 

[BGBW]

Will he taunt help him recover stamina.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Oh I enjoyed it too, but some people (serious or not) were expecting crazy stuff when Nintendo clearly stated it'll be about Spring Releases.

 

[Kyzon]

Mac is a Murderer!

 

[Kyzer]

=

Now everything makes sense...

Videogame facts that blow your fucking mind

 

[Regulus Tera]

NES Mac and SNES Mac as alternate costumes, then?

 

[Kyzer]

So is that cell shaded art style just for the trailer?

 

[Kouichi]

Mac is a Murderer!

I love the stamina meter. Such an awesome idea.

Sakurai and his team are really going all out on making each newcomer unique. Little Mac is the newcomer I'm most excited to play as.

 

[SkullHydra]

The next Direct will show Ridley making fun of how short Samus is.

 

[Neiteio]

Little Mac in Smash, Koopalings/Grumble Volcano/Tick-Tock Clock/DK Jungle in MK8, and Steel Diver: Sub Wars made this Direct for me.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlKBIZ0uQ

So, no pic of the day tonight?

 

[BGBW]

So now we can expect fake Wii U screens as we have the first clean look of the UI to copy into Photoshop.

His jumping height seems lacking, and his recovery appears to be absolutely terrible. This balances things especially considering he's a pure boxing character (who should stay in the ring).

Ha ha, nice point.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Just based on that trailer, I'm guessing Doc Louis is going to be commenting during a mtach, while Little Mac remains mute. Hopefully it doesn't become grating choosing Little Mac.

 

[SmithnCo]

The next Direct will show Ridley making fun of how short Samus is.

Haha.

And yeah, Mac looks great outside of recovery, which will probably help balance him. Ability to run under certain projectiles, and generous-looking amounts of super armor.

Plus the 1-hit KO punch will lead to hilarious results in some matches I'm sure.

 

[Muzy72]

But SuperSah said it was absolutely going to be Diddy because someone from Retro said so and that no one should pay attention.

This is why no one should pay attention to SuperSah

 

[Loco4Coco]

Oh lord I cannot stop watching the reveal trailer....it's sooooo good.

 

[SmithnCo]

Hopefully they'll do a mashup of PO-Wii's various main theme styles. I need the Aran Ryan theme.

 

[MillionVolts]

I said that any newcomer other than Dixie would be a disappointment. But okay, you win, Sakurai. I still want my Kongs, though!

Mac looks just like my type of character. Hard-hitting, counter move, armor... He kinda looks like Ike but with quicker moves and shit recovery.

 

[Spinluck]

i'm assuming if he misses the one hit ko uppercut after accumulating a full power meter, he loses the full power meter?

 

[SuperSah]

But SuperSah said it was absolutely going to be Diddy because someone from Retro said so and that no one should pay attention.

I said that? I said it likely confirms it, not that it definitely is.

Get back under your bridge.

 

[Sciz]

Little Mac looks amazing. I wonder if his Super Meter works like Roy's OHKO move? Charge up the punch, and if you charge it up all the way, it OHKOs the target.

It's a mechanic from the arcade and SNES games. You fill it by landing attacks, and maxing it out unlocks a powerful attack. Take a hit and you lose some of the meter. Almost certainly works the same way here, to reflect Punch-Out's emphasis on dodging.

 

[GamerSoul]

Oh lord I cannot stop watching the reveal trailer....it's sooooo good.

This so much.

Mac is going HAM. Lol. And Sand Bag was revealed too guyz!!! Two for one reveal!!

 

[Son Of D]

But SuperSah said it was absolutely going to be Diddy because someone from Retro said so and that no one should pay attention.

Wait, what happened with Sah?

 

[Screenboy]

=

Now everything makes sense...

I dont geddit?

 

[SmithnCo]

I dont geddit?

Mac beats up Sonic so he has to wear bandages.

 

[DaBoss]

I dont geddit?

The uppercut made Sonic grow.

I think.
