i also love, that strange winning conditions are back. Having all characters in pitfalls or set to sleep, sounds already interesting. I hope Sakurai goes all out with them (and the developers of Mario Kart takes notice).
Wouldn't really be that annoyed since the Wii U one already will have more right off the bat. Plus I have the 3DS game so.. more reason to play Smash on the go

Yeah for real. They did it for Mario Kart DS and then just randomly dropped it.
Jigglypuff playing babysitter is absolutely adorable, for the record.

Bah, of course I come in to say I've found two more fighter taglines in the Direct footage and you guys are already talking about them. 
God, "Blue Metal Hero" is so lame for Mega Man. How did they not manage to use either "The Blue Bomber" or "Super Fighting Robot?" It's actually shocking...
Ha, I had a feeling I had the spelling wrong. Like you said, though, "Congo" just looks so weird in relation to Donkey Kong!

It just required the blood-sacrifice of the Ice Climbers to pull it off.
Real question, though: If the Ice Climbers being included would have made 8-Player Smash impossible (which, who knows?), would you rather have Ice Climbers be playable or 8-Players?

Not sure if these have been discussed yet, but in addition to Mega Man's and Mario's Boxing Ring tagline, you can also see Kirby's and Pikachu's at 30:55 in the Direct.
Kirby: The Pink Puffball
Pikachu: Pika Pika!
Kirby's is fine if a little uninspired, but Pikachu's is just... huh?
EDIT: Another find! 31:02 shows us that there are at least 437 songs in Smash Wii U! That's... I can't... Sakurai loves us too much. <3

Do you guys have any ideas about this? I don't think it's a new item, neither something Xenoblade related.
And thus, CDs farming shall start anew.
If it came to Ice Climbers vs. 8-player mode, ICs no question. 8-player Smash looks hilariously unplayable. I have a feeling the novelty will wear off very quickly, especially since it isn't even available online.
They asked Pikachu to choice his own name and this is all what he did say.

Doesn't that look kinda like the new stationary cannon item thing in Smash 3DS, just on its "back" rather than upright?

You mean the killer eye? The design looks different.
Masked Man
I said wow
More stage discoveries: A closer look at the Yoshi's Woolly World stage in the upper- and bottom-right screenshots!
I couldn't find the Boxing Ring taglines in the JP version, so perhaps they used different footage. Pretty disappointing nicknames, considering they could have been really creative. :/
Holy shit! The JP version only showed 364, so that's wonderful and almost unbelievable news.
Honestly, plain old Claus would exclude his alternate persona, which is a huge part of what makes him such a compelling character, and I know Sakurai has cut the transformation gimmick, so I say full-on Masked Man or bust. I agree his identity should remain as shrouded in mystery as possible, but I can totally see him removing his mask for one of his taunts. I would be down for Jeff in Smash as well--just not before my beloved MM.

Upper right doesn't look like Rainbow Cruise. I think it's also Yarn Yoshi.

What's the stage between Port Town and Yoshi's Island?
Speculation is that it's a stage from Yoshi's Woolly World.
Masked Man
I said wow
Yeah, I guess the platforms are a little different.
Given its placement, everyone has concluded it must be a new Yoshi stage, presumably one from Woolly World.

I can't think of anything that would end Ridley speculation other than his playability.
Imagine if they sold Ridley to Microsoft. People would still think it was possible.
Exactly.
Please let this die. He is not going to be playable. What fans think and what Sakurai thinks is not the same.
Looks good to me.
Nope, that's the Woolly World stage. Look at the design of the cloud.
I think it's safe to say this is a Woolly World stage. The design of the level, the placement, the music, it all matches to Woolly World. It's Woolly World, there's no need for questioning it. I'm 99.999% certain.
Masked Man
I said wow
Good point! I was watching the video in low-res, but upon closer examination, you can totally see the stitching on the cloud platform.

Getting CDs sucked half the time. Sometimes mew would show up and throw one on off the stage. Other times you almost grab one and get killed and end up not getting it. Maybe they should do it where if you grab it.. it's guaranteed a song you haven't unlocked and if you didn't.. it's a random draw from even ones you already collected.
But now we can draw a CD factory!
I lost count of how many times I said OH SHIT watching the direct. There were so many unexpected surprises, even with all the leaks and speculation. THE REAL SMASH BEGINS ON NOV. 21.
Also lol at the Mewtwo whining in that thread. Some people have no common sense.
While we're at it, we should insist they draw one of these factories.
Then they can clone their own Mewtwo or whatever Pokemon they desire for free!
He died for the 3DS's sins.

Yo, what's the difference between Ridley and Meta Ridley? I can't see any.

You think we'll still have character parity?

Ridley does have a lot more functionality and features than a normal stage hazard.
But yes lol
You and I both know thats not going to happen. Wishing for Ridley talk to end is just as futile as thinking Ridley is going to be in.
Neither is going to happen.
As much as I want Ridley in.

Constructed a list.
I think we can assume there will be a stage for Game & Watch (maybe we've seen it?) and we'll probably see at least one new stage for Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon.
One thing is for sure: we're not done yet.
Still not totally on board with Kongo Jungle though. It looks unchanged, and it seems to be a placeholder for Jungle Hijinxs. I added it anyway.
How funny would it be if we got trophies for Woolly World that spoiled the game before it was even out?

There are already new Mario, Zelda and Pokémon stages. I would rather get more new stages from other franchises
I also wanted Ridley in ,but speculating about his inclusion as a DLC, at this point, is so silly. You are right though, people are never giving up on Ridley.
Any newcomer would top Mewtwo for me. Don't care about Pokémon reps (other than my cutie Pikachu). For example, Dixie DLC would make me so happy.

I absolutely LOVE the Wrecking Crew stage. That is EXACTLY how retro stages should be handled and why I fell in love with Smash in the first place. Keeping the classic style but updating it to modern era standards.
Balloon Fight, Mute City, Kirby's Dream Land are fucking shit compared to this. Love the concept of having those stages but they're always ruined by using the horribly ugly 8/16-bit style. Yes it's nostalgic but what a waste. Imagine how 75m could look with the Wrecking Crew graphics. 8 bit has it's charm and I do like it but in Smash I would much rather everything be brought into the current era.

Mario is "Mr. Video Games Himself" - he's going to get more stages than anyone else, naturally.There are already new Mario, Zelda and Pokémon stages. I would rather get more new stages from other franchises

Sounds fair and I love Mario stages. That isn't valid for Zelda and Pokémon though
How about a new Metroid stage without a giant purple Flying Man or stupid rising lava instead?
It is never happening because fuck Metroid in Smash Bros
Wrecking Crew was a pleasant surprise. I'm glad we are getting some retro stages. It's hard to be nostalgic about a stage from a year old game. I really wish the 3DS version had more classic Game Boy stages.

Pokemon and Zelda are number 2 and 3 in terms of how big they are to Nintendo. Each of those had two stages in the 3DS version - we'll probably see one more for each in the Wii U version to balance it out.
I'm not disagreeing that we could use a creative Metroid stage, I'm just saying we can expect one more for Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon.
I must say, I'm surprised we didn't see any mention of boss playability through the GamePad. Seems that with Metal Face, Ridley, and Yellow Devil, there would be some use for having all these stage bosses.
I guess Sakurai just really likes stage bosses then.

I understand that, but I am hoping we don't get more Pokémon and Zelda stages. Unless those stages are "Unova Pokémon League" and "Spirit Train" from the 3DS version.
Speaking of which, I hope they release the 3DS stages for the Wii U as DLC. Magicant, Unova Pokémon League, Spirit Train, Tomodachi Life, Paper Mario, Rainbow Road, Living Room and Pac-Maze do not deserve to be forever stuck in the gimped version of Smash 4.
