The Grand Star in Rosalina's FS becomes bigger over time.

By the time to game releases, it'll be as big as Jigglypuff's FS

Also, lol at Hot Coldman's new avatar

 

[HawthorneKitty]

They might as well. She's equally famous and probably wouldn't take much work.

Do you know how much work goes into playable females in video games?

 

[Exotoro]

Stay faithful.

hawt

 

[Ahnez]

Maybe they are actually rebalancing moves using data from all the events

[Troubled Bat]

It would be nice if we had a Ms. Pac-Man alt for Pac-Man. Think it'll happen?

I sure as hell hope so! I really want this to happen! :c Ms. Pac-Man is the better game!

 

[ffdgh]

Think Rosalina, Peach and Daisy will have those Mario Kart 8 racing suits as an alt?

Not unless sakurai is feeling generous also Daisy?

 

[nerdbot]

The stripes on Pac-Man are way too minor a change to be a different skin, even Sonic was at least different shades of blue. My guess is an early design?

 

[SuperSah]

That prank.

What a fucking idiot.

 

[zroid]

Holy fuck I love your new avatar.

I don’t see it happening, honestly.

• They have different names, obviously.
• Ms. Pac-Man was never popular in Japan, and it wasn’t even an official sequel, so maybe Sakurai doesn’t see the appeal/necessity of adding her. She’s a much bigger deal from a Western perspective.
• Pac-Man is (or used to be) characterized as an aloof daydreamer, and some of his taunts/idle animations reflect that, whereas Ms. Pac-Man is overly feminine and “sassy.”
• Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man use different bonus fruit sprites and scoring, so it would be weird for Ms. Pac-Man to have a moveset based on the original Pac-Man.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea or impossible, I just don’t think it’s very likely. Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man aren’t like Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, or Robin where both genders fulfill the same role and are characterized identically. Ms. Pac-Man would make a lot more sense as a Lucina-like clone, but I don’t think any of the third-parties are getting more than one character.

 

[Gilbals]

Who doesn't want this?

 

[Hatchtag]

Think Rosalina, Peach and Daisy will have those Mario Kart 8 racing suits as an alt?

I'd like it, but I feel the dresses would actually fuck up the hitboxes.
Would absolutely love a Sunshine-based alt for Peach, but I'll take whatever Sunshine love Sakurai has to offer.

I could see Ms. Pac-Man being the Wii U edition of the 3DS Pac-Man stage. Would make it unique in a way.

We must have sunglasses/shirt Mario as an alt

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Super Massive Luma is a genius idea for a custom move

 

[Hatchtag]

That's the most important alt of all.

 

[SmithnCo]

So can she summon big lumas as a custom? Slower but more powerful? That would change her a lot, I like it.

 

[Qurupeke]

Hopefully.

 

[Ahnez]

I was actually thinking earlier how they would create variations for a move that just summons a Luma.. and this happened lol

That's the most important alt of all.

 

[Azure J]

I seriously don't know how I didn't think about Rosalina's custom moves before. Super Luma is great. This also means hope for Gravity Squeeze is not gone yet. :lol

 

[Ryce]

There's canonical basis for the Giant Luma, too. I wonder what the second variant will be.

 

[Ahnez]

Yep, this has the potential to completely change how she plays

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I'm assuming the huge luma is directly based on the Super Massive Galaxy Lumas, not just implied to be so.

Uhhh... As for a second type of Luma, I have no idea. The only real other variant are hungry Lumas, and I don't know how that would work.

Grimace Luma please.

If we're getting Paper Mario representation now...

 

[DedValve]

She literally needs just a pink bow and mascara, maybe high heels.

Lubba.

No, really, maybe it is the hungry luma, being a smaller, lighter and faster variant

Been scouring the Internet looking at all the suggestions people make for Smash characters thinking I could add them all into my roster I was making. Desires are pretty much either 1) Character that's on a ton of lists 2) Character that is in one game, but owned by Nintendo. 3) Third party characters, where majority aren't even main characters. 4) Character that's never been on a Nintendo system ever or is owned by a competing company 5) Cartoon/Anime character 6) Famous person.

The most obscure so far has to be someone wanting and suggesting that a famous YouTube celeb I've never heard of be in as a playable character.

The Internet amazes me sometimes. I don't even know if I should attempt to make this roster or not. It alone has 125 non-gaming suggestions on it.

Um.

Maybe you should limit it to characters that are, however slim a chance, possible. For your own sake.

Perhaps one roster which includes characters which at least have legal precedent, and one with everything?

 

[Freezie KO]

According to Mike Haze, a returning StarFox character was just revealed, but I don't believe people that cry wolf.

If it exists, someone wants it in Smash Bros.

Stick to games lest you die of dehydration/starvation.

Did we get a translation for the new Famitsu article? Haven't been here all day (and I just got back from watching GotG (which is super awesome)).

I can hear it. The cry of the...pheasant?

 

[Starphoenix]

Who?

Do you mean who is Mike Haze or who was the character?

 

[Videoneon]

looooooool =P

I don't believe it either, an outlet would've reported it already and all the new characters are introduced through either a video or a PotD, aren't they?

Spoiler

Falco confirmed

and just in case for Starphoenix, Mike Haze plays Smash competitively. Melee, at least.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Do you mean who is Mike Haze or who was the character?

For my sake both. How would he get said information?

 

[Ahnez]

This is why its probably fake

I almost want to make one with everything, but the current "almost everything people want" is at 140 characters. It'd almost be like remaking that whole roster.

I'm thinking I'll just stick to video games with said legal precedent.

Pun intended?

 

[georly]

I wonder if 2 lumas is a possibility for an alt move.

 

[zroid]

Wait, did Mike Haze actually say that? I thought Freezie made it up for the sake of making the joke.

 

[Freezie KO]

For my sake both. How would he get said information?

It was a joke! Sorry, I thought that was obvious in light of what happened.

Mike Haze is a pro smasher. A little while ago, today, he faked a robbery on his stream. He then got a backlash for crying wolf.

Hence, he claims that a StarFox character is coming back... crying wolf. Cheesy, but I thought it'd be clear.

Spoiler

Cheesy KO

 

[Ahnez]

I wonder if 2 lumas is a possibility for an alt move.

The 3DS cant handle it

Spoiler

I think it would be too hard to control

 

[Qurupeke]

I wonder if 2 lumas is a possibility for an alt move.

Hopefully, but one Luma already feels stressful. I imagine two being quite a trouble or possibly overpowered.

 

[Ahnez]

Its almost August now

where is my direct nintendo?

 

[Guesong]

So are we expecting something out of the Hyrule Warriors direct this upcoming monday?

It might be a good time to re-reveal Ganondorf. Who knows! I could totally dig a trailer where Link & Toon Link team up against Ganondorf (now with new specials!) and then he has to call up Ganon to even the odds. Seriously I'd freak out if we got Ganon. Heck, they could keep Ganondorf as the C-Falcon semiclone he is right now and work out Trident Wielding Pig Beast Ganon to bring justice to his fans.

T'would make sense if we assume they'll use the direct to show Ganondorf and its announced-but-not-revealed DLC costumes. Much like they randomly revealed Sonic when speaking about Lost World, or Luigi for The Year of Luigi.
