Interested to see where / when they'll show the Duck Hunt Duo trailer. Would they really just drop it into the game with no fanfare?

That stage builder will be my pride and joy.

Agreed, the new stage builder looks amazing. I would have liked to be able to create break the targets stages with it as well, but the basic creation tools seem immeasurably improved from Brawl.

 

[Caladrius]

need a new stage recap ASAP

That's easy

You know, I always thought a 3D Land Stage based on the two-plane deal (an Airship level where you move between planes via pipes) would've been great for the 3DS Version.

Glad to see it's being realized here.

 

[Canon]

Wait

Did they confirm 1080p?

Not 720p?

 

[greenteaa]

The direct... was amazing.
Dat 8-player mode.... dat stage builder....dem 1080p visuals....

Haha, if he's excited, you know the Direct was good.

 

[Neoxon]

Wait

Did they confirm 1080p?

Not 720p?

Yup.

So, Spainkiller's source mentioning 4 moving models. Let's see how that's going.

- Ridley: Boss
- Mewtwo: DLC
- Chorus Kids: ?
- Dixie Kong: ?

You know what that means, guys...

 

[Karsticles]

Shows DH trailer pic in a PotD

Reveals Bowser Jr in the Direct

Sakurai: Laughs

Such a troll move...

What if DHD is getting his in the JP direct tomorrow?

 

[Drago]

 

[Jawmuncher]

Don't see Mewtwo adding anything to Spainkillers Leaker.
He's been the most requested veteran since his cut in brawl.
Even leading up to Smash 4 he was easily the most wanted returnee.
Makes sense to me to being him back as DLC and to be used as the freebie for owning both. Get that hype money.

Yup.

So, Spainkiller's ource mentioning 4 moving models. Let's see how that's going.

- Ridley: Boss
- Mewtwo: DLC
- Chorus Kids: ?
- Dixie Kong: ?

You know what that means, guys...

Nothing.
We already knew Ridley moved around from the earlier direct.
People just didn't know in what capacity (Playable or Boss)
Well most of us really knew.

It does look kind of fun - self-imposed chaos based on consistent elements always works out better than those forced by external, random factors like stage bosses. Though I'll never forgive Jungle Hijinx for murdering Sunset Shore.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

The good news is that I can safely sell my 3DS since I don't give two fucks about Mewtwo.

I'm positive they'll do it via club Nintendo, so make sure to register the game and you'll still get him

 

[buddha0991]

Soon.

 

[Man God]

Who cares, 75m!

Where's that one other poster who loves that level (and by level I mean the music)

 

[BeauRoger]

When they say 1080p, do they mean native? How is it possible to get 1080p/60 fps on Wii U with potentially 8 players, a lot of items and big stages, when fighting games like Killer Instinct on Xbone isnt even 1080p.

 

[Busaiku]

What if DHD is getting his in the JP direct tomorrow?

The JP Direct is done.
6 PM EDT is 7 AM JST.

It's up on Youtube.

I don't understand why you corrupted my sentence with a grammar error. :-/

How strange. Doesn't that imply we're going to get another event of some kind, at some point? I doubt Sakurai will leave a finished trailer unrevealed.

[Smashman45]

Hot damn that trailer was so good.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Um, guys, explain this?

No no, don't pay attention to the text---the picture of the far left of the screen.

Why is Doc Louis there? He only appears on the Result Screen.

 

[Jaeger]

Congrats, man!

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Link to Spainkiller leak?

Would be comparable to chrom.

Yep, Spainkiller was likely very wrong. Mewtwo is apparently far from complete.

 

[Azure J]

Oh mannnnnn.

That Direct just came and literally added EVERY FUCKING IDEA I thought Smash 4 would coming from Brawl on Wii U.

Stage Builder with more parts and really robust options?
Foreground/Background fighting (holy SHIT this one is a big one for me)?
8 player Smash? (Another massive one)
Super Smash Party?
DLC CONFUCKINGFIRMED?

The best part is that I know at least 4 of those "50" points were speculated down to the letter in this thread in the last two days. On another note, so Ridley is like Super Saiyan Flying Man and he goes even further beyond when you kill him the first time... Incredible. :lol

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Please let Ridley die.

I would, but his fans will just revive him.
Besides, Ridley having different variants has already been discussed multiple times.



Do you guys think Mewtwo will have an updated moveset?

 

[The Captain]

Swimming?

 

[Golnei]

Um, guys, explain this?

No no, don't pay attention to the text---the picture of the far left of the screen.

Perhaps a Trophy Tussle-esque setup?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Really cool that the Miiverse Stage idea made it in.

 

[Rayis]

Everything talking about Mewtwo but no one talking about the infinitely more important fact of having Jigglypuff as a starter character, she finally gets the recognition she deserves!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Mr. Game and Watch is up on the site now.

 

[uncleniccius]

Does the stage builder mean I can have corneria?

 

[SuperSah]

Someone link me to Spainkiller's leak?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

So remind me, where in the Direct was the Nintendo Land music?

 

[Moonlight]

Is there anyone else who's feeling good about Kalos League's viability? Nothing that I noticed seemed out of line or obtrusive. Only really concerning thing I see are the lava pillars, but I don't know how much that'll affect its' place in a competitive context.

Spoiler

in before it has the same properties as lava in great cave offensive and KOs you at 100%

 

[The Captain]

Someone needs to post that stage select screen they showed off. I can't find it.

I know there's a Woolly World stage in there. The music was also there.

 

[Man God]

I'm actually pissed. Fewer unlockable characters? No no no. More. Make you start with Mario and have to work at it. Complete target blast with everyone else to get the final one, J-puff.

 

[Cse]

Nope. Aside from the DK stage (and potentially the Wuhu Island stage) the ones revealed/expanded on in the Direct look terrible.

It's just a terrible selection. I mean, just look at this...

41 stages, one of which is Big Battlefied. So 40.

12 are returning stages (only welcomed returning stage is Onett, IMO).

That leaves just 28 new stages. A few more than Melee, and fewer new stages than Brawl - and most are quite terrible.

Really disappointed. Still holding out hope that the Kalo Pokemon League doesn't feature any interruptions from each trainer's Pokemon...

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Trophy Pic?
Would be comparable to chrom.

That's what I thought, but then I doubt there's a Trophy of Little Mac of him lying on the ground.

Do you honestly think that's the full stage list?

[Jagsrock]

So satisfied! So many great modes that can be enjoyed both solo and co-op. Huge amount of music, bigger stages, 8 player smash, tourney and communities, and then the mewtwo and drastically improved stage builder is just the icing on the cake.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I assume we have secret stages, right? Doubt they'd reveal all of them.

EDIT: Yeah, Pac-Land isn't on their, so it's one unlockable stage.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Everything talking about Mewtwo but no one talking about the infinitely more important fact of having Jigglypuff as a starter character, she finally gets the recognition she deserves!

The entire smash 64 roster are now starting. We can no longer say that Jiggs has been unlock able in every single game, that little factoid is dead

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

That's definitely not the full stage list. Pac-Land is missing.
