Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U Thread 5: Yarning for Yoshi

Wonderful 101 has Platinum Games involvement at least, and I'd rank the game a bit more significant those last three. Either way, it'd be nice to have some representation of the game.
It's likely to get an Assist Trophy and a few regular trophies, but I don't think it's unreasonable for me to say that The Wonderful 101 is a really minor game. I'm not speaking to the quality of the game -- just that its place in Nintendo history is negligible. It has no mindshare whatsoever. Ice Climber has the "excuse" of being an early first-party title representing the NES (which has been re-released and referenced ad nauseam), and Mother developed into a three game series. TW101 just doesn't have any kind of weight.

Dat Pit difference...
 
So given that Sonic and Snake each only had one Assist Trophy from their own series in Brawl, who do you suppose we'll get for Mega Man's Assist Trophy (assuming there will be only one)? There are so many possibilities... Proto Man, Bass, Roll, Eddie, Tango, Beat, Dr. Wily, Duo, a Metall, or pretty much any especially-recognizable/popular Robot Master like Cut Man.

Personally I'm hoping we get a Proto Man alt costume for Mega Man, with the Assist Trophy going to Bass, Roll, or Beat. Beat could potentially be a pain in the ASS, chasing down and pestering opponents like the Metroid AT in Brawl...
 
I can easily see Protoman being in & just acting like he did as a mini-boss in Mega Man 3, running back & forth while shooting at random.

I think Proto Man is the most likely Assist Trophy. Even though Bass is more of a rival to Mega Man in the vein of Gray Fox or Shadow, he didn't show up until Mega Man 7. Considering how the Smash Bros. Mega Man looks like his NES sprite and mostly uses old NES attacks, I think Proto Man makes more sense.

To be honest, I like the classic cherubic child Pit more than the anime teenager version.

I really wanted Proto to be playable, but even if he doesn't the template is there. Eventually hacking will allow players to reskin him.

I do strongly feel that a red/grey palette for Mega Man will be the least we get. What else would it be? lol

 
Earthbound and Iceclimbers in the light of things are not very popular either but they're more than likely still going to be in.

Earthbound sold like super hotcakes with extra creamy frosting compared to the Wonderful 101.
 
NES Little Mac changes his ring attire after he wins a match. He is very fashionable.

You really don't need 99 other people, just nine would do. Also, Red is still a capable fighter on his own, so it would be fine if Unite Morphs were only used for smash attacks or specials.
Or, relegate the Standard B move to Unite Morph, where you can switch leaders by drawing the formations via either of the sticks. Up B can be Wonderful Rising, Down B can be Unite Guts (or Unite Tombstone in the air), & Side B can be the Wonderful Stinger. The rest of the A moves & grabs can be formation-specific.
 
>people make passing sexual comments about female fighters
>REMEMBER THE RULE YOU CREEPY PERV GET THIS WAIFU SHIT OUT OF HERE

>people making passing sexual comments about Little Mac
>nobody says anything

Guys, this double standard is really annoying. Would you please cut it out?
 
It's not a super serious issue, but there have been a few comments since the reveal that, if they had been said about Palutena or Lucina or whatever, would have attracted *some* negative attention, I have no doubt.

I'm not saying "open the flood gates for objectifying women!" I'm saying, if you wouldn't be comfortable with people in the thread saying simething about a woman, don't let them say it about a man either. It does annoy me a bit. My apologies if I come off as overreacting or anything...I'm not trying to stir anything up.
 
I was under the impression it was the 'waifu' shit and trawling deviantArt/furaffinity for creepy fan art of characters to spam the OT with was banned. Saying you like a guy's muscles and saying 'hawt' isn't remotely on the same level.
 
Just don't post something weirdly worded and off putting or any questionable pics. I'm sure most of the posts above are said in a joking manner...maybe.
the most important thing is that you leave my Lucina alone, she's mine
 
I'm expecting him to be an assist at least. Everybody having an individual 'eggplant' status effect might be overkill development-wise though.

Most definitely, once a comment is made. People ride the train, making whatever was said even bigger. Till it stops or a warning goes by.

Naa, you aren't coming off in anyway. Any type of talk regarding that can get out of hand at times. [But I did see it as random since the page had nothing going on.] But you wanted to express something out, that was a bother for you, so perfectly fine.

Saying you like a guy's muscles and saying 'hawt' isn't remotely on the same level.

I would assume that was for the photoshopped costumes on Little Mac, on how good they were. Nothing towards the other reason. [I get what you're saying. :P]
 
The Little Mac hype has made me finally grab all the Hajime no Ippo eps (up until season 2, and the OVA and Movie), and start watching it.

So good.
 
Obvious colours for Mac are the circuit colours plus verus mode player 2:

(Google Image Search result, I did not make this image)

Though I notice there isn't really a red option so I guess one possibility is to use Glass Joe's colours. A slightly shoddily done recolour to show how this could look:

Little Mac's amazing wardrobe changes during matches in the NES game is breathtaking. It is more seamless and spectacular than a Cher or Lady Gaga concert.
 
Good choice. You're going to have one heck of a ride.

One of the few shows I've heard absolutely nothing but good about. Ever. Not one bad comment. And by the sheer amount of episodes it has, and the manga still going, that says alot.

Dat Blue is BADASS.

I want that blue with blue gloves alt and orange glove alt. Hopefully, they will get in.
 
Regarding "realistic" newcomer predictions, salromano's pre-E3 leak is 2/3 confirmed (four of his six "predicted" characters have been officially revealed), so I think most of us are accepting those six as all-but confirmed.

Also, if the Direct = Newcomer trend continues, then I expect Pac-Man in April and the Mii--and a release date--in June.
Part of me can see the Mii being revealed as "YOU join the fight!" or something cheesy like that.

Isn't Itoi a very famous philosopher in japan. I dunno them being in the game might be a cool thing for japan for multiple reasons.

He's a copywriter and an essayist, first and foremost. A lot of my friends who don't play games are still familiar with him as a public figure, but I don't know if including MOTHER characters would be that much of a draw for casual players that know Itoi-san because they probably don't know MOTHER anyway.
(Of course, I am wholly in support of more characters from the franchise joining the brawl!)

Neat... AND HAWT

Yes, please.
 
The blue Major Circuit attire is my favorite, I think.

Your in for the ride, the last fight of the first season is still one of the greatest things ive ever seen.
 
I imagine Pac-Man and Mii would be held off for E3. Assuming it's set up the same way last year's E3 reveal was, the former will show up since he's a 'guest' character (expect the CHALLENGER APPROACHING sign to show up again like it did for Mega Man) and the other as a surprise gimmicky character after the show like WFT was right before the press gets a chance to finally play the game. I don't see them trying to hype up a conference full of people with just Mii and Pac-Man though.

Hence, that would leave who they'll have in Villager's place as the 'normal' newcomer. I would've said Little Mac before last week, and I can't really think of anyone else similarly big. Palutena might be too obscure for people at E3 to really know that well (I imagine she'll be shown off in the next Direct anyhow) and I still conflicted on how likely Ridley is.
 
Little Mac has been robbed of two E3's now.
 
So what are the chances of getting more than 3 colours for team games? I pretty much exclusively play team games and it sucks missing out on all the good colours.
 
The next date to remember is February 21. It’s only a week after Little Mac’s reveal, but keep in mind that Zelda was confirmed a week after Rosalina.

February 21 marks the 28th anniversary of the Zelda series, the 21st anniversary of the Star Fox series, and the American release date for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

I figure Diddy Kong is the likeliest character. The Donkey Kong series is most popular in America, and Tropical Freeze was created by American developers, so it seems plausible to announce a character on the American release date.

I would be legitimately surprised if we don't see Diddy at the end of the week. I hadn't thought about your bolded statement before, but I think that makes total sense. It makes me wonder how much of these events are scheduled so as to coincide with one another. For example, maybe Sakurai originally wanted to reveal Diddy Kong on the Japanese release date of Tropical Freeze, but Iwata wanted to do a Direct, so they pushed back Diddy Kong's reveal until the US release date.
 
And he is?

I mean, his source successfully "predicted" WFT, Mega Man and Villager before E3, and Little Mac (included in his initial leak) was recently revealed, so I think it's pretty safe to say he's the real deal. (That's why everyone is also taking Pac-Man and Mii--the two other characters in the initial leak--as confirmed.)
