also swag the fuck out

I knew this was coming.
 
I agreed that 2013 and 2014 franchise are influencing people's prediction decision making. We can't tell if Sakurai would consider to put characters from 2013 and 2014 franchises' games. But Sakurai could pull Roy tho.

Here are the links to the polls

I know this is a huge request and I understand if no one wants to do this but if you go if you're doing the footwork anyway would you mind posting a consolidated list of the game FAQ's roster thread. Ain't everybody got time for that AiNt everybody got time for that aint everybody everybody everybody everybody got time for that!

(Again, I totally understand if it is too much to ask, I just know some of you really enjoy doing that stuff and I do too when I have time.)

You know what? Scratch that because fuck
game faqs
 
Still can't get over that.

By the way, how did the Smash 64 tourney go?

I won twice and lost to a Jigglypuff player. Dude had optimal rest combos. Every time he touched me, I got rested. Don't know that matchup at all >_<

It was double elimination, but I couldn't stay for the entire thing because I had to get to class. They ended up getting 50 people registered (crazy) and only had two setups (INSANE). I could have never imagined Smash 64 would get so much interest, and obviously neither did the TO, because there was only two N64s.

It was fun, though :)
 
I feel like we won't get a reveal tonight.

but the last time I had that logic Dedede was revealed.

Hopefully my terrible predicting skills comes in handy again tonight lol.
 
So people are thinking we'll get a veteran reveal tonight because the "Challenger Approaching" banner was taken off the site? Hmm... I'm not sure I'm confident that one coincides with the other...
 
At this point, I feel like we're bound to get two characters per month until the game comes out, so even if we don't get somebody tomorrow we'll probably get Yoshi next week.
 
With Yoshi coming so soon, I don't think tonight will be a veteran reveal.

Could be a stage though, if anything. I just wouldn't get your hopes up. It's all about maintaining the right expectations, that way you won't blow up and look like an idiot when you complain about it afterwards.

I hope not, one character per month is fine, maybe two during E3. Revealing 40 charcters before the game released is insane.
 
So I had a dream last night that Ridley was playable

...while riding a hoverboard. It was apparently Sakurai's solution to bringing him to scale with the rest of the cast.
 
IceDoesn'tHelp mentioned that Mario Party Island Tour is releasing on March 20th in Japan. Could also be a potential date to reveal Wario.
Even Yoshi if they don't want to go by the NA release date lol.

So in other words: Nobody really knows when we get the Yoshi megaton. I am of the persuasion we won't get him for the NA reveal, since there is barely precedent for it. The only time is has happened is with Diddy and it is probably because his JP reveal was pre-empted by the Direct w/ Little Mac

(since as we all know, NIntendo Directs are unpredictable and fairly last minute.)

Anyway, my 2 pennies

In the end, that is all that matters :)
 
I'm pretty sure that we are getting good update tonight, so I would bank on that. I really hope that we are getting a stage reveal since it has been awhile ever since we saw new stages.

Same here, I hope it's an interesting, non-competitive one just to see what layout they can conjure up.

Hey! One of those pennies is mine! Give it back!
 
LOL, I can hear it now. What does that translate to, anyway? "Come on", or does he say something different?

He says &#12363;&#12363;&#12387;&#12390;&#12371;&#12356;/kakattekoi, which roughly translates to come here and fight.

I liked all the Japanese quotes in Melee, I wish they allowed for the dual language option in Brawl. It sucked that they didn't and I hope they re-add it in SSB4.

Me too. I had a lot of fun playing around and looking/listening for all the differences.
 
Yeah, I'm very doubtful that we'll get a Yoshi reveal next week. I'm pretty sure the only reason he used the NA/EU date for DKC:TF was because the Japanese one was too close to the Nintendo Direct.
 
Honestly, the Nintendo Direct w/ Mac. is the only time Sakurai has chosen the North American release for a veteran reveal, so not a good pattern established there.
 
I already said it already ! ;P

Diddy's JP TF reveal was preempted by the Nintendo Direct w/ Mac. It's the only Time Sakurai has chosen the North American release for a veteran reveal, so not a good pattern established there.

I know, I didn't notice your post at first. That's why I edited my post a bit.

Not a big deal. I was just letting you know in a playful way.



So on an unrelated note after talking to my flatmate about the possibilities of Excite biker as a character and I just got really hyped about it so I will give you the cliff notes:

The question came up on what would make him hard to implement and the big one that dawned on me other than ramps needing to be on the stages, is how would he behave in the air and in a helpless state/ off stage since he'd be constantly on a bike?

Interesting right? Well my solution would be that if he gets hit hard enough, he gets dismounted and tumbles like he wrecked in his game. That would make his gimmick about getting back onto his motorbike ASAP, as he would have weak and limited attacks while on foot. Another idea would be that he could have a magnetic effect so when close enough to his bike, he would latch back on from a distance, with a rolling animation from when he wrecks in excitebike?

I think the best way to implement excitebiker would be to go with a 3d reimagining of his 8bit self but with game & watch style frame skips for some of his animations. (Tumbling helpless state, rolls, mounting his bike etc.)


As an aside: while on foot, his attacks would be simple neutral jabs, weak low kicks and as a strong side attack he could maybe take his helmet off for a bash attack. His smash attacks wouldn't be chargeable on foot to encourage you to re mount his bike for the real and powerful move set.


Well.. What do you think, SmashGAF?
