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

This is how I always thought it would go down.

Bring it Sakurai

 

[Loco4Coco]

Why is there no caption yet



are you samurai

He's too busy pointing at the computer screen, laughing

 

[InvincibleAgent]

four star fox reps

gotta keep building that uber popular franchise

Well, there were 3 in Brawl. There has been 1 SF addition each game.

 

[Kyzon]

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.

As sad as I'd be for Ridley and Wolf, I'd probably laugh my ass off every night.
Let's hype the King tomorrow, and Mr. O'Donnell the day after.

 

[KHlover]

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

Fuck no I wouldn't even want Krystal as a sticker, much less an AT

 

[Professor Beef]

does samurai browse gaf

no i do not

 

[blamite]

When's the Coro Coro with the full roster supposed to be out? Or did it already happen and it was nothing.gif?

 

[Hatchtag]

Leaks around the first two weeks of August, but it's confirmed to be showing what we already know.

 

[zroid]

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.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

I can't even imagine the comments when Ridley is confirmed as an AT or stage hazard. It'll be wild.

 

[ExtremeDev]

it's not out yet, but they said it's not actually going to be the full roster, but the roster that we know of right now

 

[DJIzana]

Oh Takamaru fans...

ha ha this thread always delivers

either way sakurai will just add more years to his never ending youth

Isn't his game a partial clone of Zelda made in the same engine?

throwin' rocks in glasshouses or some shit

 

[georgetheplushie]

Another dream dead. So many Assist Trophies would make great characters.

 

[Azure J]

Copied from the Taka thread:

And with another five-ten minutes reflecting, I just realized something:

I also just realized that Katana sis and Katana bro are now BOTH assist trophies.

Sakurai Samurai is racist against the way of the samurai confirmed.

I just got Lyn'd THREE times in my lifetime:

- I wanted a draw-sheathe swordsman/woman since pre-Brawl and latched on to Lyn because it was exciting times
- Lyn's an assist trophy
- I see Smash 4 is coming up and don't think much about Lyn because of how long it's been since Fire Emblem 7
- Lyn is featured prominently as an Assist Trophy in the Smash Direct
- I continue to show support for Takamaru as a character that would fill that niche just as well while bringing some history with him. The moment the SmashGAF thread starts talking about it
- Takamaru is an assist trophy

To be Azure J is to suffer.

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

Watch Ridley, Issac, K. Rool, Mewtwo, Shulk, Chorus Kids all happen now in the aftermath.

At least Takamaru, Ashley and Dark Samus fans can huddle together by a campfire for seven more years.

He can do cool ninja shit, and some magic, but Greninja and Robin both cover that. All he had left was...surprise surprise...blue hair and a sword.

But who cared, because we need a samurai in Smash.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I think it's amazing that Sakurai faithfully follow Takamaru's original concept art.

 

[Fandangox]

Oh Takamaru fans...

Man, that's awesome art of MM, I'd put that on a shirt.

 

[Kyzon]

I'm waiting on the inevitable picture of Takamaru laying on the grown next to Chrom

 

[Neoxon]

Now I hope Ridley is confirmed as the stage hazard most expect him to be this week. Not because I hate Ridley, but for the reactions.

 

[Hatchtag]

I think it's amazing that Sakurai faithfully follow Takamaru's original concept art.

shirt is too washed out of a blue compared to that, 0/10 shitty over realistic artstyle confirmed.

 

[Kjellson]

I'm actually surprised that Takamaru is an AT. I thought he would be sticker material.

 

[Mik317]

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.

I know your mad but...

Ike has been in more games than Takamaru and Lucario is a popular Pokemon, one of Nintendo's biggest franchises.

and while the whole "THIS CHARACTER STOLE A SPOT" thing is silly...you can make a case that Lucina is the one who sealed Takamaru's fate.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Yeah. It's a sister game. Just like Kid Icarus was the sister game to Metroid.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

He can do cool ninja shit, and some magic, but Greninja and Robin both cover that. All he had left was...surprise surprise...blue hair and a sword.

But who cared, because we need a samurai in Smash.

It was more annoyance at Ike being called a Marth clone than trying to shit on Takamaru, who I said literally a few minutes before this reveal I was cool with being playable.

 

[Nia]

At least Takamaru, Ashley and Dark Samus fans can huddle together by a campfire for seven more years.

Plotting Sakurai's death for making us wait seven more years. We can't all be immortal.

 

[Durden77]

Where's the Miiverse comment? I NEED it.

 

[Makai]

I wanna get a beer with Sakurai sometime. Guy is hilarious.

That's not all he has.

He can reflect projectiles with sword, and go invisible. With a lot of projectiles to choose from as well.

Plus he's either seen with blue/black hair.

Snake clone with a sword confirmed.

Pic of the day. I, Takamaru, have waited many years to appear in Super Smash Bros.! Link, Samus, Pit, and I debuted in the same year! Multidirectional Pinwheel Knife Rook Attack!! (FYI, I'm an Assist Trophy.)

 

[BGBW]

Urban Champion is still in the running for new NES rep!

Brilliant. Fucking brilliant.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I don't really see it.

I honestly thought it wad photoshopped at first, because the way the clothes look compared on top of Link's tunic.

Bahaha Sakurai, Damn. It sounds so cold but funny.

 

[Freezie KO]

Not only is the Miiverse comment trollish, Sakurai uses "FYI."

Ike stole Takamaru's spot like he stole Radiant Dawn from Micaiah. And people actually bought Lucina's game, which is more than could be said for Ike's two titles. Lucario is spoon fed to everyone by Nintendo and is a poor man's Mewtwo.
