im sorry Takamaru fans. He had a good run.

 

[Omzz]

its on the japanese main website its real

Check the Smashbros site

oh thats why. wasnt seeing it before. sorry takamaru fans

 

[Loco4Coco]

Sakurai if you're reading this PM me the entire roster.

 

[Kjellson]

I thought just shortly before the pic how funny it would be if Takamaru got confirmed as an AT in the PotD. Still can't believe it actually happened lmfao.

 

[totes magotes]

The timing of this is too perfect. Takamaru was even hyped on the SDCC stream. Sakurai has consistently shown he has no problem revealing the positions of highly requested/speculated characters straight up. Probably to not lead people on, and possibly because he's just a little bit evil and relishes in it.

So.....Ok....someone's got to say it...


WHY THE FUCK HAS HE STILL NOT SHOWN RIDLEY?

He wants to let you find the disappointment of no Ridley when you have the game in your hands.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

nobody bring up ridley or k. rool or goku in intense-detail too close to the POTD

I want to be let down gently.

 

[Xpike]

When the rejected Nintendo characters all gather around to get drunk, I wonder if they consider it more prestigious to be part of someone else's Final Smash or an Assist Trophy.

I'm guessing Final Smash, since their apperance is at least guaranteed once in a while. I've only seen the Grey Fox AT like 3 times.

He enjoys watching ridley hopefuls squirm confirmed.

 

[SenorArdilla]

A small clip showing off-screen Ridley attacking Pikachu. And then complete silence ever since.

 

[OmegaSmash]

I am literally dying right now

Holy shit the timing is incredible

Sakurai the ruse master

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Now I'm curious which leaks this blows out of the water. Anyone got a list?

You and I both!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

His face really does look just like ZSS/Lucina.

 

[Xpike]

this has to be one of the greatest trolls by a game dev ever

 

[zroid]

That is all


Good night, folks

 

[Toxi]

Blame anime same-face.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Now I'm curious which leaks this blows out of the water. Anyone got a list?

Off the top of my head, Takamaru was pretty much ignored altogether in most of the "leaks," so this probably won't narrow the field much

Spoiler

they're all fake anyway

It's worth a thousand(s) words hours of discussion

really? He spawns like every fifth match or so for me. That stupid gravity-defying fucker :/

At least Samurai Goro can fall to his doom...

 

[EmCeeGramr]

He's going to reveal Ridley as a stage hazard on the day before the game ships out to stores and leaks start.

 

[Zalman]

WHY THE FUCK HAS HE STILL NOT SHOWN RIDLEY?

He has. As stage hazard

 

[IntelliHeath]

Time to put Heath on suicide watch.

paging heath now

I already expected that.

I gotta to say that he look fantastic as Assist Trophy, and I was worried that he might missed the chance to be assist trophy. I just knew that he wouldn't be playable characters this time.

I just realized this is all Heath's fault for being the most Debbie Downer "supporter" ever.

I gotta to be realistic about his chance being playable character.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Heath taking this alot better than I thought.

 

[SenorArdilla]

He has. As stage hazard

Ridley confirmed to be the only character that is both an Assist Trophy and a stage hazard at the same time.

 

[Hatchtag]

He's going to reveal Ridley as a stage hazard on the day before the game ships out to stores and leaks start.

He doesn't even have to do that, since the 3DS version releases first. Ideally, he should tease that the wii u version ships with characters that will be DLC on the 3DS version, continue to not reveal if ridley's a stage hazard or not, and then still not have ridley in, just to pour as much salt into the wound as possible.

You should know that "realistic" and "hype" are completely incompatible

 

[random25]

Captions to the pic, anyone?

 

[Kyzon]

Better to disappoint right before delish deserts right?

 

[Mariolee]

Is there a caption?

 

[Neoxon]

You have my condolences, Takamaru hopefuls.

 

[sorakirosaki]

heath laying down that hype to rest lol

 

[Troubled Bat]

Where's the stupid caption! >:0

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Watch as this week is a complete blood bath.

Takamaru as an AT
K. Rool as a Smash Run enemy
Wolf appears in the Star Fox stage as a hazard (is he an "Alfonso" situation we'll all wonder?)
Ness Veteran Reveal! But sorry, Lucas is cut.
And finish it off with Ridley as a Stage Hazard.

 

[GamerSoul]

No comment yet? Sakurai too busy laughing confirmed.

 

[Tan]

He's going to reveal Ridley as a stage hazard on the day before the game ships out to stores and leaks start.

"Remember when I mentioned other stage bosses? Well Ridley was one of them! Enjoy the game."

 

[Boss Doggie]

[Kyou]

Ridley confirmed to be the only character that is both an Assist Trophy and a stage hazard at the same time.

if ridley is called as an assist, gonzo flies out of the hole instead

 

[DICKS AHOY]

The sad thing is you're not even joking at this point.

Sakurai maintains his eternal youth via the tears of online message board users and orphans.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

1. Talking about wanting a character playable results in them getting ATd
2. Many people want Krystal to not be playable
3. People should start talking about wanting Krystal playable

 

[Durden77]

For the record, I still don't think Ridley's playable or anything, I'm just genuinely confused on why he's pretty much the only character that is being teased (for nearly a YEAR no less), while any other character that has gotten into that territory has been clearly revealed. (Takamaru, Wonder Red, Waluigi, Skull Kid, ect.)

Does he have something up his sleeve for our purple pirate space dragon, or is he just extra evil when it comes to his fans?

 

[ffdgh]

So...what fake leaks have been destroyed as of now?

 

[sorakirosaki]

does samurai browse gaf

he has too (shifty eyes) this timing is just too perfect

he needs to wait for the tears of ridely fans to ripen further so his youth will forever be sustained

He's waiting on the 3DS release to announce boss mode on Wii U.

gotta keep building that uber popular franchise

are you samurai

Your punctuation is telling me that you are feeling.

 

[tonyh24613]

It's a good timing, but not that surprising, I think Sakurai will mention the release of WiiU VC in the comments.

 

[Forkball]

I can't believe we have that boring ass roided up Marth clone Ike, whose games nearly killed the franchise, and Lucario, the John Cena of Pokemon, over Takamaru who has an incredible amount of possibilities in terms of moveset and design.

 

["D"]

Hooo boy.
