Not to sound like an ass, but... I'd probably want a more reliable source for that claim.

Ganondad. 
Could be fake, but if real, it'd put quite a different perspective on Ganondorf. Not sure if the game should be so heavily influenced in this manner if true, but it'd be touching nonetheless.

As I read more, I'm a skeptical because the article apparently explains why Doctor Mario is in the game, but he already explained that last issue.

Also, last week's Famitsu came out the 8th, so this week's shouldn't even be out yet. Seems like someone just making stuff up for kicks.
Needs more concrete sources but, I get the same feel of fear when I am against Ganondorf. Like I would get smacked when I try approaching him. For as low tier people think he is in Smash 4, most of my 2-stock losses came against Ganondorf lol.
The people who think Ganondorf is low-tier haven't played against this Ganondorf enough and are just running off the assumption that he's like Brawl Ganon, imo. I think he's at least mid-tier, they definitely strongly improved him in this game.
Haha, sorry. Look, I actually really like Zero and think he and X make one of the most badass power duos of all time.
But as much as I like Zero, X is my favorite character of all time from pretty much anything ever, and X has been ignored and treated like shit by Capcom, Inafune, and Mega Man fans over the years, keeping the spotlight firmly on Zero - even in X's own series! I'm pretty sure X being relegated to a damn costume for Zero in MvC 3 was when us X fans hit rock-bottom.
Haha I understand this and I am another member of #TeamX even if the Mega Man Zero series is my favorite series in the Megaman franchise. The best parts of that series (in a story context) were always the parts involving X who had seemingly become the new Zero in his approach to dealing with life at the end of the world but still retained the characteristics that made him so interesting to younger me.

Why would he see Ganondorf as his dad of all things?
I highly doubt this is the case, and if it is, why not make him more powerful/ top-tier?
Also, Ganondorf was made as a clone due to time-restraints, if this article was the true case then why wouldn't he tell us this sooner?

I'm pretty sure that Ganondorf quote is fake; it just seems like someone trying to make a Sakurai style reasoning.
Anyways, Hello GAF and SmashGAF! It's my first time posting here, but I've been lurking for years now. I've really enjoyed reading these threads and now I'm finally able to participate in the discussions myself, so I'm looking to forward to just being a regular here.

hey sakurai your father's moves suck
Ganondorf got me through Level 9 Classic, Hard mode on All-Stars and I main him in Project M so I can't blame him too much.

I hear that Mewtwo in Smash Bros was actually based on Sakurai's cat, but after later realizing he didn't want to put his cat in such violent situations, Mewtwo was removed and Sakurai never plans on adding him back in.
Tough luck, Mewtwo fans!

Look, Sakurai. Everything the light touches is our game. A game designer's time as developer rises and falls like the sun. One day, Sakurai, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new developer.
And this'll all be mine?
Everything.
Everything the light touches...but what about the shadowy place?
That's Ridley. You must never include him, Sakurai.

From Inafune's perspective, Zero was always supposed to be the star, anyway. Just Capcom wouldn't let him do it, so X was designed to appease the executives who feared people wouldn't want such a different looking Mega Man.

As in "Heathcliff"
Oh boy, we are back to Sakurai's father, Ganondorf. We have no reliable source to verifying if it's true or not. I seriously doubt that Sakurai would share his personal life on famitsu. Not that deep.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I feel if any other 3rd-party characters were to become playable, it would ruin what we have now.
Mario, Pac-Man, Mega Man, Sonic
Aside from Snake (even then, he feels out of place), I don't feel any other third-party character can meet the same standards as these guys.
Oooh Oooh. Speaking of fanart and stuff on KYM. Some nice fanart was posted there recently:

Wow!

I don't know about you guys, but I hope we get some Wonderful 101 music in the game. THIS theme would work perfectly on the Orbital Gate stage, considering its epic space battle setting.

If all we're getting is that set of trophies... Well, I won't be surprised, but I'll still be hella disappointed.

At the very least, I wouldn't be surprised if we got the main theme.
I could've sworn so cause when they had those press releases of many screenshots from the game they were in 1080p, unless I'm mistaken.
The way the game looks tbh, it better be native 1080p haha.
Well I don't think it looks terrible, but yeah it would be much more impressive if it is in fact 1080p 60 fps while 4 players duke it out and all sorts of crazy shit happens on screen. I have faith that Sakurai and co can achieve it, for all of the complaints about the 3DS version being gimped they pulled off some amazing visuals, all at 60 fps and 3D.

1080p/60fps*
*item limits/30 FPS ATs from 3DS version remain
It could happen, but given how up front they were with the fps caveat for the 3ds version back in April I doubt anything in the Wii U version normally runs at less than 60.
I think that's what its at. The game looks great and the art style is smart for achieving it as well. If they could get the game to work so well on the 3DS (barring some circle pad errors) then I think they got it.
1080p/60fps*
*item limits/30 FPS ATs from 3DS version remain
Haha naturally...
Hasn't every POTD for the WiiU version had a 1080p version released as well?

Oh god, no. Spanish Meta Knight is horrible. No thank you.
Yep. All that said, I did like that once Inafune moved on from the series (after X5), those who stayed behind and worked on it brought the focus back to X. X6-X8 and Maverick Hunter X really did a wonderful job honing in on what makes X awesome as a character and a hero, and X was like the biggest badass ever in X8 especially.
None of that makes up for the fact that X6 and X7 were shit games, but hey. You take what you can get.
And yeah, the MvC 3 thing literally made zero sense. X topped every single most-wanted character poll (across both the Capcom and Marvel universes!), and still they just did not give a fuck. Ryota Niitsuma did insinuate in an interview somewhere that he considered Zero to be Mega Man, though, and (astonishingly) didn't think the original Mega Man or X had repertoires of moves that lent themselves well to fighting games, which is why he cut Mega Man and didn't fulfill fan desires for X. Unfortunately, it just sounds like X was a victim of Niitsuma's character ignorance/apathy in MvC 3's case.
Considering he was talking about two characters with some of the largest, most diverse pools of attacks in all of gaming, fans knew that was bullshit at the time. Fast-forward a few years later, and Sakurai sure has made him look like an idiot for saying that, considering how he took Mega Man's repertoire of 80+ moves/attacks and pretty much perfectly translated them into a fighting game context.

Pic of the day. Now here's a challenge Find Stalfos!! (Difficulty Level 3) This is a close-up of a specific area in the Trophy Hoard, but the search will be more challenging if you zoom out. You can change the alignment of these trophies by holding down a direction on the +Control Pad while you're entering Trophy Hoard.
