Yeah, all the Stages on that list had a really generic name, so I guess it's possible the "leaker" didn't know the full names and just called them what he was familiar with.
Eh, if we get one of the really specific stages like Patchland, or Endless Ocean, I'll reconsider it, but right now it's bunk to me.

No, it was only briefly considered before development actually began.
It's so fun. All of my local Smash friends despise it because they can't seem to stay off the pavement. There aren't many stages in Smash that capitalize well on the game's identity as a competitive platformer but Big Blue presents gradual landscape transformation with a predictable rhythm in a manner that's pretty fair to players. I'll take Big Blue over a transitional stage like Castle Siege any day, but unfortunately I reside in the extreme minority.
Are these the same stage? The implication is yes?
Hmm...so that doesn't confirm or deny anything, really.
I'm with you in that minority, then. I much prefer it over transformation stages, too. So fun.

Mhmm, that's what I'd say. If it is real, at this point he probably just say a picture of the select screen or something.

What's the latest word on stage builder for the Wii U version? Is it likely to even be in the game at launch, or is it something to expect as DLC?
Ok good, that would've been ridiculous.

that "no transformation characters due to 3DS"
...people think this widely affects Wii U at all, forgetting that so far, only IC is the effect from Wii U

What about Pokemon trainer?
What about Ridley?

Man, this is brilliant. Freaking love BotchedSpot.
Ridley wouldn't have worked even on the PS4.

Well, his Pokemon could've all lived on, but I imagine we'll never find out why Squirtle and Ivysaur didn't return.
Maybe Sakurai didn't want that many Pokemon now that they're not a "single slot". Maybe GameFreak wanted him to focus on Greninja and Charizard. Maybe they're DLC.
Ice Climbers is the only "real" character who was specifically cut so far because of the 3DS, as far as we know. Wolf, Lucas, etc. are probably likely just purposeful cuts for other reasons.

I'll await the inevitable Nintendo Direct for the Wii U version then (or a general Nintendo Direct, we haven't had one of those in a long time), ought to be sometime before October 29. It's creeping ever closer.
He's too big, he won't even fit even with XBox One's ginormous casing.
We'll have to play a few rounds on this new one, then. Strictly For Glory, of course.

GameFreak. I mean, the other transformers are in there.
"But can it run Ridley?"

If they did I would probably cave and get it.
Getting it before 12am EST would be too much to ignore when it would be that easy.

Yeah, I suppose so. But the concept of a trainer character who uses different Pokemon was thrown out the window with the 3DS version.

They would have almost certainly been present had transformations been possible after how hard Brawl pushed the Pokemon Trainer (he's on the boxart, even). They were almost certainly dropped afterwards because they were low priority characters on their own, but that situation only presented itself after transformations were nixed. So I don't think it's an unfair position to take.

It was a cool concept, but I personally found Pokemon Trainer to be a pretty big disappointment.
I guess they could've kept him like Doc Louis and had him appear with Charizard during the Win Pose, at least.

When I start reading a page from the bottom, I know tge horizon posts before I see your avatar. Any guess as to how?
Ditto. If only my regular group of Smash-Friends didn't hate it... being the only F-Zero fan in that lot helped. They're too shallow minded to play GX when I offer it.
I'm more with Watch Da Birdie; I was willing to let "Gamer" be called "Game & Wario" because they both just describe the game it's from, but "Great Fox" implies that it's just the Great Fox again for the 4th game in a row. This is clearly called "Orbital Gate" and barely touches the Great Fox compared to everything else. I think the leaker just remembered that picture from August of the Great Fox and assumed what we all did. It'd be very much alive if they added that it was the "Orbital Gate," but as cool as the mode would've been, Tower of Smash is over.
And again, I don't think a single JoJo fan made a joke about the name while the leak was still alive.
Frankly, I'm shocked.
And I really wanted an Endless Ocean stage, too...
I suspect Chorus Men were killed off because of the 3DS version, as well. Planned but then canned when three of them running around in unison proved too much for the 3DS to handle.Okay, granted. So the 51-character roster is not a 52-character roster because of the 3DS version.
If that's the most grievous crime the 3DS version has committed, it's hardly making anything (other than hardcore Ice Climbers fans) suffer.
The point: The 3DS version is great (we know this) and the Wii U version is almost certain to be incredible. Neither has "suffered" because of the other in any meaningful way (that we know of) outside of the Ice Climbers.
Also, bear in mind that Smash 4 was originally supposed to be 3DS-only; Iwata had to convince Sakurai to make it for Wii U as well. So in that sense, the 3DS version was always supposed to be the core one. So in that sense, it could be argued that the Wii U version is the liability.

I have the same hunch as well. Sakurai did not have to say anything because they were never revealed compared to Ice Climbers. Also, people have claimed to see models (although I am not sure if I can fully believe it) and there are Rhythm Heaven Smash Run enemies. It seems odd for them to put only Polar Bear and Sneaky Sneak from different Nintendo franchises.
...
Although if we do get DLC characters, I really would want the cut characters first honestly.
Ditto. I mean, I'm still hoping Spainkiller's right, both for the sake of 4 characters I wanted and for his account, but it's looking unlikely. With how much content had to be cut in the process of making the game run on the 3DS, I can see Chorus Kids being cut, which, as someone who's far more excited for the Wii U version, even when the 3DS version is under 35 hours away from being in my hands, is disappointing.
And again, just putting it out there: the only thing I care about regarding roster parity is one game holding another back. The same thing would happen if the there was a cool, 3D themed character that they couldn't get on the Wii U... if that worked, somehow. I really want both the Kids and the Climbers to be DLC on the Wii U; if they can run there, why hold them back? This isn't like PSASBR where the Vita version was literally the same game with touch controls. Nothing'd be hurt in how either game functins.
What if...Chorus Men was all a ruse by Sakurai??

We only got one new Star Fox Stage. The previous update was just this one.
I guess we'll see Donkey Kong soon enough. I sort of hope it's based off the Beach World from DKCR. One idea I had was basically mixing the pirate ships levels with the Squiddicus one, so he'd smash the ship into pieces and move them around to serve as platforms. But I guess that's like the second part of the 3DS Paper Mario stage.

Oh we have? I did not realize. Either way, I am pleased that we are getting more Wii U footage and not just 3DS stuff that we've seen already on streams.

Considering we know the Gear Getaway music, it could be a good chance we get a Returns or Tropical Freeze stage on the Wii U version.

It was a terrible concept. The stamina thing, the delay between switches (no not the technical delay, the actual delay where you remain vulnerable on screen), and the weaknesses effect made Trainer's trio more of a hassle to deal with.
I thought PT received a backlash on how the underlying mechanics were more of a chore than fun?
When I read your post I couldn't help but think
worst movie
