THE HYPE IS REAL!

there are 40 minutes left of my day and it was great thank you

but i still maintain we're getting absolutely nothing tomorrow

Happy Birthday, Afoni. :)
 
So, who's ready for the return of Casualty Monday? We know that Sakurai reads NeoGAF, let's talk about one singular topic to where he'll have to address it.

Today, Ridley
 
A major villain is one that is the primary antagonist across multiple canonical titles. Browser and Ganondorf have a huge number of games where they are the final boss in some fashion. Dark Samus is only a major villain in the Prime spinoff series, which IIRC is not canonical, and even then I am not sure she is a "villain". Skull Kid is in one game AFAIK. He is as major as Zant and Girahim.
First of all, who gives a damn if Prime's canon? Metroid Prime revived the Metroid series and the trilogy are some of the finest games ever put out by Nintendo. Smash Bros is about celebrating Nintendo's best, not canon.

Second, you haven't even played the Prime games and you're trying to argue Metroid Prime/Dark Samus isn't the main villain? She's the final boss in all three games. In Prime, Metroid Prime destroyed the Chozo and spread Phazon across Tallon IV for the Space Pirates to use, kickstaring events. In Corruption, Dark Samus controlled the Space Pirates and Leviathans and corrupted the hunters. The only game where it's arguable is Prime 2, but she's still the most visible foe and is the final boss instead of Emperor Ing.
 
Well I prefer stage reveals to character reveals so I'd also like to see more. Also since Sakurai doesn't really go over them one can still feel fresh when we finally get the game despite knowing of their existence.

I'd like to say the next stage is the Wii U Pokémon X/Y Elite Four stage but I have a feeling it'll be something completely different. I just want to see how long he can stretch the "mystery" for.

Hmm, I would like it very much that they would hold Wii U features and stages back until after Super Smash Bros 3DS released to the public.

Happy Birthday!

Ridley won't happen as a PoTD. He is too big. Either he will get a video intro, or nothing at all and will be discovered in some fashion when it launches.
 
This, I wanna see the massive meltdowns from the Ridley fans.

That reminds me, what would Boss Ridley do in the Pyrosphere stage? My guess, pierce players with his tail & spit out fireballs (or just fire). I have a gut feeling he'll also fly around, targeting certain players, maybe whoever's winning.

BRB building that fallout shelter lol.
 
I have two newcomers that I really wanted in the game. I am hoping that Ridley will be that third character that makes me go "I need this now".

Merry Birthday Sir.
 
At this point I'm not even too worried about "my" characters making it into the game. I mean, I'd love to see Ridley and Jimmy T., but the newcomers I'm most excited for are always the ones I didn't know I wanted.

also it's adorable how he fit trainer is a total klutz in sakurai's daily pics
 
SAKURAI, BRING DOWN THE HELLFIRE! PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN THE RIDLEY COFFIN, SHOW HIM AS A STAGE HAZARD IN THE PYROSPHERE STAGE! LET THE SMASH COMMUNITY BURN INTO FLAMES!!!!
 
56 elsewhere. :(

Why is it releasing apart? We need a thread dedicated to import so nobody gets spoiled.

I'm pretty sure we're getting one to coincide with the JP launch.

A lot of the newcomers so far have been pretty good. I think there's maybe one I don't care for at all, and even then they have a good deal of redeeming qualities.

Caladrius pls, you're gonna play the game for 4 months anyway like Melee and Brawl

:P

Well you're not wrong, but it would make those 4 months AWESOME.

The only newcomer I wanted that I thought had a chance to be in was Little Mac, and he got in, but I agree in the sense that WFT and Greninja were characters I never knew I wanted. Really looking forward to these two, probably more than Little Mac since I don't really like the direction they took for him.

I'd still love a Rhythm Heaven character and another Wario and F-Zero character, but I'm completely content with who we got.

Just pure speculation. I would imagine that they are cramming everything as they can until they hit the deadline. Once they hit deadline, so they need to give translators enough time to working on remaining additions. That would make sense with three weeks delay.

I wouldn't worry too much about the Rhythm Heaven character.

Haha. I really want a Rhythm Heaven character and always thought it was a pipe dream, but the Gematsu leak got me really hopeful.

I don't really think it's debunked, and with the whole Sneaky Spirit thing I think a character is likely. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason Wario hasn't been revealed yet is because they're saving him for a dual reveal with one. That said, I'd be OK if there isn't a playable character.

Where did you get those pics?
 
So you think Stage Hazard Ridley may be shown in a possible 2nd Smash Direct?
I think Sakurai would do that in a "stage boss" montage, or just leave it for people to discover.

It would be really, really weird for Sakurai to tease him in a direct and then reveal his role in a PotD. Don't you think? You usually build tension toward a climax, not a nadir.
 
26 days for maybe I get snake.
Wondering what other surprises might be instore after the Fire Emblem Reveals blew everything out of the water.

Also they just announced console exclusive characters


So Snake/Big Boss is more likely to be playable character for MKX, instead of being in Smash 4.

I had completely forgotten about Kiefer voicing someone in Mortal Kombat. That'll be interesting if it ends up happening.

Snake is trying to sneak his way into all the top selling fighting games.

Talk about a downgrade :(

But I've never been a fan of Motral Kombat gameplay or aesthetics. Good for those people I guess. I would have expected Kratos. Then again, Snake isn't confirmed for that game, just possible now.
