Amphinobi is infinitely better than Greninja. What does that even mean? Why Gre-?

Rumble Falls/75m combo... I feel sick...
So far, I think Diddy Kong and Frigate Orpheon are the only Western creations in Brawl (excluding trophies) - am I forgetting anything?
"Grenouille" is French for "frog."

It's definitely gonna be Returns. They modeled one of the locations from the game in the first trailer.

Oh thank goodness. I thought it was a generic jungle until I saw the statues. What a relief.
You said it! I'm pumped to see what the actual stage looks like.

Shame. I'd much prefer Tropical Freeze. A Juicy Jungle stage to be precise. </3
That's an interesting point. Almost makes me wonder if we'll see a Pokemon Stadium stage (please god 1 and not 2).
That's everything, unless you count bosses, ATs and music.
Though even if Nintendo owns Dr. Wright, I'm not sure which party created him...

watch it turn into a generic jungle anyway
Nice! I'd personally rather see a Tropical Freeze stage, or at least Sunset Shores. It looks like we're just gonna get a boring Jungle stage, though. Maybe we'll get an ice-covered variant/factory level, too? I know Sunset Shores can't use its silhouette shenanigans to its fullest, but it could work, too, if the items and fighters were just colored in on a stark, shady background.
Hey, at least it covers taxes, right?
I find it equally strange that we are missing Pandora as well.
I mean, I figured she would at least get a trophy since she's a major boss in the series. It's even more shocking that Amazon Pandora is absent, considering all of the "fan-service" these games have been delivering. Hopefully she appears as a boss in the Wii U version.
Huh. I mean, she's not a huge player in the grand scheme of Nintendo, and I don't think Amazon Pandora would be priority due to fanservice, but in retrospect, she was kind of a big deal in Uprising
(Plus the whole "creating Dark Pit" gives her some importance in Smash)

She doesn't even have a trophy? Weird. She's one of the cooler characters in that game (at least the best female villain).

Why is Phosphora in as an AT anyway, any other character would had been better imo
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Well, if any Pokemon James Turner designed gets in, would that count as "western"?
Or if the Wii U Chunky Kong AT exists...
I haven't seen Medusa or Hades as Trophies either...

Twinbellows, Hewdraw, Thanatos, and Medusa all received trophies, all of the original bosses, except Pandora. It doesn't make sense that they would exclude her while adding almost every other boss introduced in Uprising.
Because she's rad.

medusa, hades, and viridi all have trophies
also arlon and pyrrhon

Medusa's definitely a trophy, she was shown as far back as the lewd trophy compilation from the ESRB leak, and doesn't appear to have been removed.

Arlon gets one, but not Pandora?
My man Pyrrhon! it be awesome to have him as an assist trophy in the Wii U version, and would love to see pandora as a boss as well
Just recently played and beat kid Icarus Uprising for the first time few days ago Amazing game btw
Arlon and Pyrrhon. Clearly this is just a further extension of the game industry's conspiracy to shove Troy Baker down our throats.
Has there seriously never been a one-off Advance Wars musical track in Smash? Is this the Secret Greatest Tragedy of the franchise?

we're going to be stuck forever with just that one AT and you're going to like it
I should play more of that series.
You really should. I recommend Dual Strike!
The music (and broader sound design) of the franchise is just pure energy.

Is that Yoshito Hirano? I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with S.T.E.A.M's score.
Phosphora was a lot of fun in the chapters where she appeared. Her debut chapter is one of my favorite missions in Uprising.
And she's just a cool character design all-around.
I dunno. Maybe they want to do more with the character down the road? Maybe they had a better idea of how she'd be an AT? I don't think any other character would be better, but personality-wise, she's on the low end of Uprising's spectrum.
Huh. I was mainly arguing that I don't think fanservice was the only reason why Amazon Pandora didn't get a trophy, but I've been trying and failing to look at all the new trophies; I didn't know those guys got them, too. [REDACTED]'s probably a stage boss, and he didn't get a trophy, same as Metal Face. Maybe they will add an NES style Kid Icarus stage and put Pandora as a stage boss there? I mean, I hate stage bosses, but Pandora did at least twice as much as that entire lot in Uprising, barring the obvious Medusa.
Oh, cool! The 2 best characters have trophies! Still really hoping the Wii U one has Codec calls for the Kid Icarus characters, although honestly, I'm afraid that if anyone gets it, it's gonna be Fire Emblem. Not that I'm unhappy about FE getting these Codec Calls, but I feel KI could do far more with them. But Matt Mercer did say that he voiced "story" stuff for Smash, and it was all Chrom explicitly expressing annoyance that he's not a playable character. He made enough of a deal out of it that I doubt he's just referring to "Maybe I'll get my chance... another day." That doesn't sound annoyed anyway, just defeated.
No, and yes, respectively. Well, the greatest tragedy is the franchise's total snub, barring that one AT that rarely even shows up (Like, it's not "Manaphy" rare, but it's pretty rare. And again, Manaphy was the best Pokeball both times I've seen it happen. Why not just bring it back with a slightly higher appearance rate?)

I remember playing the GBA ones via link cable and was surprised at how addictive it was. Definitely one day.
I'm sure it'll be expanded upon at some point in a future Smash, especially considering we're only just getting major representation for overdue stuff like Punch-Out, Paper Mario, and Pilotwings. It'll get its turn eventually.

Well yeah, but every character was a lot of fun overall or has an awesome design (which imo her isn't that great, dat hair), plus she wasn't that important story-wise. Don't get me wrong, I like her, but she just seems weird to me as an AT.Phosphora was a lot of fun in the chapters where she appeared. Her debut chapter is one of my favorite missions in Uprising.

I felt she was the weakest design of KI:U out of the actual important characters.
Not counting Dark Pit of course.
Hey, it's all good. Literally. It is all good music. All of it.
Yeah, of Thousand Year Door and Fire Emblem fame. Hearing that he's attached to S.T.E.A.M. has me way more interested.
Ace detective work, but I'm getting a little scared that it's going to be lost in the fog of war.

Definitely makes the pain of no AW in Smash aside from the AT hurt even more.

I wonder if Manaphy might've caused issues on the 3DS.
Switching player control might be harder to do when you have two different systems instead of one.

That makes sense. I could see it being just as likely as no one ever using it because no one ever got it, but from a technical standpoint... Maybe it will be back for the Wii U version?

Don't try to play it off.
I was being 100 percent honest. In Internet Explorer, it was working. I just checked in Chrome and it's not. It's edited out now.
I mean, think about it: I would've saw a hotlink myself and changed it, had it appeared that way on my end. It didn't, though.

Yeah they're fine now.
We just thought it was funny the first time. IE has that issue though with Hotlinking.
