I know we already know so much, but I'm still very curious what the final pre-release POTD will be.

 

[Speedwagon]

Add me now if you want to play me on stream this weekend:

will add you now

Geeze, some of the franchises got absolutely hosed with the lack of new music. No new Metroid, Sonic, or Wario songs period, and the nominally new Pictochat stage has two old songs. Good gravy it's hard to get over how terrible the stage roster is.

There might be music from them in Smash Run. It has its own music iirc. Like the Cog Jam DK song is only in it I believe.

Although it goes to make you wonder, why Sakurai couldn't just have those songs selectable in the normal stages...

I'll be playing a lot of Smash Run if it gets all the good songs...

 

[PK Gaming]

The near complete lack of Robin gameplay is seriously disheartening

[Despair]

 

[IntelliHeath]

So Wario actually lost the only vague connection to Wario Land besides his costume?

WHY

SAKURAI WHY

Why do you despise Wario Land SO uch

To be honest, I think they are going to use Shoulder Charge for one of side B customization slot.

 

[Mr Swine]

Does Wario have his Wario Waft move in SSB 3DS/Wii U? Haven't seen him blink like in brawl. Also is Wario Man still his final smash?

 

[SenorArdilla]

To be honest, I think they are going to use Shoulder Charge for one of side B customization slot.

I imagine it would probably be something like Exploding Motorcycle or Smog Motorcycle over an entirely different move.

For fun, I think I'll list some clones that I would have preferred to see over a color swapped Pit (characters in parentheses would be the character they're a clone of):

Daisy (Peach)
Funky Kong (Donkey Kong)
Donkey Kong Jr. (Donkey Kong)
Young Link (Link)
Toon Zelda (Zelda)
Impa (Sheik)
Hades (Ganondorf)
Dark Samus (Samus)
Viridi (Palutena)
Medusa (Palutena)
Roy (Marth)
Demise (Ike)
Dark Knight (Ike)
Galacta Knight (Meta Knight)
Krystal (Fox)
Slippy (Fox)
Leon (Falco)
Pichu (Pikachu)
Raichu (Pikachu)
Riolu (Lucario)
Igglybuff (Jigglypuff)
Wigglytuff (Jigglypuff)
Paula (Ness)
Kumatora (Ness)
Black Shadow (Captain Falcon)
Mach Rider (Captain Falcon)
Isabelle (Villager)
Tom Nook (Villager)
Alph (Olimar)
Louie (Olimar)
Brittany (Olimar)
Charlie (Olimar)
Proto Man (Mega Man)
Metal Sonic (Sonic)

lol

Even though I'm still unsure about cross-series clones barring Mach Rider (Megan sort of justifies it), it's a good list; but I'd add

Dunban (Shulk)
Tetra (Toon Link)
Dr. Stewart (Falcon)
Mighty Gazelle (Falcon)
Hector (Ike)
Titania (Ike)
Anna (Robin)
Katerina (Robin)
Mr. Sandman (Little Mac)
Ms. Pacman (Pacman - I'm still distraught she wasn't an alt)

Also, having Hades be a clone of Palutena wouldn't be all that odd; even if I'd rather see Viridi or Medusa. I'd love to see him do that one taunt.

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Honestly I'm not quite sure what those....things are supposed to be.

Jumping Noses?

Guess it wasn't suggestive enough to be in the ESRB leak.

 

[ffdgh]

Nose with nose hairs for legs crouching and jumping

Come on now, they're clearly frog Wario noses.

Jumping Noses?

Guess it wasn't suggestive enough to be in the ESRB leak.

...OHHHHHH. I'm an idiot.

 

[SenorArdilla]

12 more hours until the Livestream. What curve-ball will Sakurai throw this time?

 

[Mory Dunz]

After watching that Falcon Custom move thing.

I feel custom movesets are the biggest addition, especially for the tournament scene.

Two fighters could use the same character but be fighting completely differently depending on the moves. I'm actually pretty excited about it.

Too bad people don't seem to be posting all of them. Guess it's not unlocked.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Yushako is stl streaming. He's only just now getting Lucina.

 

[Flowmoney]

Is today's pic of the day going to be the about Japanese release?

 

[Nanashrew]

It's just vague enough for ones imagination to see it as such. It really wouldn't be the first time we've seen a vague resemblance to a penis or a boob in a Nintendo game hidden away.

Pretty sure there's a vague resemblance to a penis in Super Mario 3D World.

"We knew people were going to leak the game so we've reserved some characters for free DLC which is available right now."

 

[zroid]

[Despair]

Too new to have plenty of gameplay from earlier demo events, but too old to be the hot new thing everyone wants to try out when they get their hands on the game ;~;

 

[SmithnCo]

I honestly wouldn't mind IC with simpler Nana AI, it would probably make her safer ironically.

I missed a Falcon custom? D:

Sadly, I doubt there will be anything we haven't yet seen; but a scenario where a character that will be added to the next update of the game is shown off, or something similar, would really ignite discussion around the game again. Though it's much more likely that we won't hear about additional characters, if they exist, until April or so.

 

[Moonlight]

[Despair]

It's a huge bummer. I was expecting at least a few good minutes of Robin game footage, but nothing aside from occasional CPU junk.

 

[Spainkiller]

Oh man, one of Charizard's alternate special moves is poking the enemy with his tail, Ridley-style.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Am I the only one waking up early for the Japanese livestream?

 

[SmithnCo]

Oh man, one of Charizard's alternate special moves is poking the enemy with his tail, Ridley-style.

I await the mass of purple Charizards online.

 

[Spainkiller]

Oh man, one of Charizard's alternate special moves is poking the enemy with his tail, Ridley-style.

Hahaha, sorry, blatant troll post :3

Carry on, guys.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

uhhhh

local multiplayer? You know... how a majority of people play the game? Also they will be enabled in friend online matches... unless you're going to say you also have no friends online either.

I don't? Whats so shocking about that? I mean I'm going to add a few gaffers but that dependent on them being online when I wanna play as a Mii. Not everyone has friends.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Come on Sakurai just post WiiU pic from now on.

 

[Green Mamba]

Oh man, Mr. Sandman, that's a great one. Can't believe I didn't think of one for Little Mac.

I was mostly trying to think really hard of only characters that would not require any moveset reanimations at all (or at the very most like one or two, like Metal Sonic would need his own running animation). I don't think Hades as a Palutena clone would work.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Yeah. But at the very least I'm hoping for one final CG trailer.

 

[Kangi]

PK Starstorm was used on stream. It's now a pillar around him, not stage-wide.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

I'm still shocked they announced they wont be unveiling the release date for the Wii U game on Friday's stream.

When exactly are they planning to announce the release date? The day before the game comes out?

 

[Regulus Tera]

PK Starstorm confirmed for Ness' Final Smash, it is a lot narrower and only goes vertically down instead of at an angle.

 

[Nanashrew]

Hahaha, sorry, blatant troll post :3

Carry on, guys.

Stahp

Spoiler

That would be though.

 

[Makai]

Villager has super armor on balloon trip.

 

[Trey]

It's cancelled due to leaks and complaining.

 

[SuperLeviathan]

I think the best hope we have is that a lot of Nintendo games are getting DLC even when they aren't developed internally.

Fire Emblem wasn't and neither was Mario Golf. And they have plans for Hyrule Warriors , Here's hoping

 

[Spainkiller]

Villager has super armor on balloon trip.

Would be cool if it'd make one of the balloons pop.

Has it been confirmed that he has the Balloon Fighter outfit as one of his alts?

 

[Regulus Tera]

The Starman Assist Trophy teleports around and sends electric bolts throughout the stage.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Will tonight's menu be the starting roster, or another picture of the start screen?

 

[OricWindstar]

Wait, what stream is up right now?

 

[Kangi]

Wait, what stream is up right now?

Yushako.

 

[Burning Justice]

So on PictoChat 2, does what gets drawn depend on which fighters are battling? That's what it's looking like to me.

 

[MannyToons]

Wait, what stream is up right now?

http://www.twitch.tv/yushako here you go.

 

[OricWindstar]

Yushako.

http://www.twitch.tv/yushako here you go.

Thanks much!

 

[MannyToons]

Thanks much!

No problem.

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

"We knew people were going to leak the game so we've reserved some characters for free DLC which is available right now."

the catch it's only available on the na eshop

 

[Moonlight]

Aw shit, looks like Lucina's up on Yushako's stream.

too bad we'll be able to determine squat about her properties here

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Whoa, during the Classic Credits, you knock away the screen to reveal a Win Picture.

EDIT: Also noticed the Brawl theme kick in a bit.

 

[Benzychenz]

So has anyone found Ice Climbers, Mewtwo, Dixie, Impa, Chorus Men etc trophies? If not I'm going to hope they're planned for DLC.

Wolf trophy = despair
