Fuck it, I'm just gonna put it out there:

(And I'm not saying this to troll fans or keep the hype up or whatever.)

I have a source who has been right about previous leaks and has worked on the European localization of the game. He says he has definitely seen moving models of Dixie, Ridley, Chorus Men and Mewtwo in the game and he's still confident that these four characters can be unlocked by linking the 3DS version to the Wii U version.

Now, I know how outlandish this sounds, and being a game journalist myself I'm taking this with a grain of salt myself, but we're talking about the guy who told me about the Bowser Jr. alts immediately after the ESRB leaks and has never been wrong about other stuff as well. Plus, the whole connectivity thing makes far too much sense, if only to get fans to buy both versions. *insert itprintsmoney.gif here*

Again, I swear on my soul that I'm not trolling. Time will tell. I thought Ridley was never gonna be in, but hey.

I hope this doesn't mean people will have to buy both versions to have all characters.

Hey, Oric! Did you ever post who was first place in the poll? :V

 

[OricWindstar]

The patch could still fix it. Since it seema like such notorious glitch for the dec.team to oversee it, I assume they just didn't expect anyone to know about it since the game has a dau 1 patch.

Or did Gema discovered it after getting the patch?

No, it was before. I guess that's true, it seems like it'd be hard to miss. Will almost for sure be fixed by US release, at any rate.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Pretty weird that there's exactly room for one more item, one more stage, and one more character on the second to last row.

What's the deal, yo?

Hmm

Three empty slots

Three weeks between Japan and worldwide release

We're getting a new item revealed in the 9/19 PotD, a new stage on 9/26, and the final character on 10/3!

I hope this doesn't mean people will have to buy both versions to have all characters.

If this happens or something similar happens, it'd probably be a DLC character pack, and then it's free if you have both versions.

*avatar quote*

seriously, they belong to each other....

aside from megaman's upb cancel, do we know anyother "advanced technique"?

 

[OricWindstar]

Hey, Oric! Did you ever post who was first place in the poll? :V

Indeed I did.

Full breakdown here.

 

[Immaculate]

oh come on his FS is just zeldas

 

[Dr. Buni]

Yeah, I am okay with buying a character pack (I mean, the 3DS version is cheaper after all), but having to buy a Wii U + Smash Wii U to have all characters? No, thanks.

DARK PIT: THE SUPER CLONE

CLONING PIT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR SAKURAI

 

[GiantBreadbug]

I've said this nonstop all day but they REALLY could've used his staff for his normals. The only parts it would've required a little reworking are when Pit breaks his bow in two

At least then him having the staff in his render wouldn't be kinda disingenuous, ya know since he only uses it for his FS

And he would've at least been a little tiny bit more visually distinct

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Getting late but Robin looks great can't wait to main him.

 

[JediLink]

Yoshi looks faster I don't see many changes except the flash kick.

I think the single biggest buff he got is the fact that he can finally jump out of shield again.

I hope this doesn't mean people will have to buy both versions to have all characters.

Spainkiller later clarified that the whole connectivity thing is only speculation. They could just be simple DLC.

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Hopefully not.

If there's one thing that everyone knows about Sakurai,
it's that he does NOT do all this for the money.

 

[GenG3000]

It seems that Ness got Lucario's FS from Brawl since Lucario has now the Megaevolution.

I thought you were banned from GAF. Anyway, thanks! That is a relief.

Hopefully not.

Yes, but at the end of the day, Sakurai still is working for Nintendo. Nintendo do all this for the money

 

[solomon]

what is conquest mode?

I'm not to sure, I just saw it in the patch notes

 

[Nintendojitsu]

The thread is collapsing. GAFception

 

[OricWindstar]

Man, I thought Robin was going to be way slower for some reason. He/she looks great!

 

[Neiteio]

I'm having F-Zero stage withdrawal. Is there any video of the non-FD version of the stage? Ideally one that does a couple laps around the track?

 

[MagnetoWned]

What time is the treehouse tomorrow?

Yeah I forgot about that. The guy didn't show that but it should prove to be helpful.

I also forgot you don't freefall out of eggroll either.

 

[The Xtortionist]

guys

is the netcode good

It's so good! There was one on the stream earlier, but I'm not sure if it was uploaded.

 

[Nintendojitsu]

What time is the treehouse tomorrow?

1pm EST

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Good to hear there are multiple pages of challenges.

More than 2 songs a stage seems surprising. I wonder if this is like Melee where some stages had a second BGM but not all.

It seems that Ness got Lucario's FS from Brawl since Lucario has now the Megaevolution.

What is it called? Last beam doesn't really seem like PK Starform to me.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

guys

is the netcode good

The server is still under maintenance so we don't know.

 

[Hours Left]

I need ROB scoop please.

 

[OricWindstar]

I need ROB scoop please.

He's got a new final smash.

 

[JediLink]

I thought you were banned from GAF. Anyway, thanks! That is a relief.

I was. For two weeks. GAF bans don't usually mean permabans.

Spoiler

RIP in piece Afoni

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Lol this man yushako snappin

 

[rekameohs]

Wow, choir Melee theme on FD. Hadn't heard that one before.

 

[Hours Left]

He's got a new final smash.

:O

Can you aim the beam???

 

[kuroneko0509]

guys

is the netcode good

Server not up yet :lol

 

[OricWindstar]

:O

Can you aim the beam???

Not sure. That's the only time I've seen it used.

EDIT: Haha, he actually just used it twice on the stream! Seems like you can't.

 

[GenG3000]

What is it called? Last beam doesn't really seem like PK Starform to me.

It's just Last Beam but with a PK Starstorm theme. It's a pillar of light made of falling comets that the player can control. Its axis is at the top of the screen, hence the Lucario comparison.

 

[Icelandic_Jazz]

Oh nice ROB has a Virtual Boy color. Project M up in here.

 

[Hours Left]

Not sure. That's the only time I've seen it used.

Interesting.

It looks way more useful, but I'll miss his weird tractor beam eyes. XD

 

[OricWindstar]

Virtual Boy alt for R.O.B.!

 

[The Xtortionist]

The server is still under maintenance so we don't know.

Server not up yet :lol

Dammit.

Just put the servers up so we can find out, already. I'm sick of worrying about it...

 

[kuroneko0509]

Dammit.

The game isn't 'released' yet

 

[Neiteio]

Wait, are you serious??

 

[The Great Gonzales]

What is it called? Last beam doesn't really seem like PK Starform to me.

Have you seen it yet? It still looks like PK Starstorm, with the meteors falling down, but they don't fall randomly across the stage. Rather, they're confined in a narrower beam which can be aimed like Lucario's old FS. Long story short: it looks like Ness's Brawl FS but operates like Lucario's.

I'm looking for a video of it, but I can't seem to find one. Anyone have one?

 

[AdaWong]

The streams arent available on Mobile.

I'll re-post a .gif of it:

Unlike Lucario's old one, I don't think you'll be able to just dodge through this one with ease.

 

[foxuzamaki]

no potd?

Thanks. Yeah, it definitely looks more dangerous than Lucario's old, totally innocuous one.

 

[Waluigilicious]

The music still hasn't leaked to YouTube?

 

[OricWindstar]

Wait, are you serious??

Yup. Wish I had taken a picture, but it looks like the Project M one.
