Ridley in SSB4.
Also, every stage turning into FD instead of having a unique platform setup. Also, multi-air dodge. Also SSB4's edge-trump mechanic.
Sakurai has no standards, confirmed. Has he ever made a game before?

The Gematsu leak was also mostly on the money, with Chrom being in the cards early on & the Chorus Kids possibly being DLC now. They also got the DLC & Lucas being gone right.
I didn't say sakurai's TASTES. I said standards. Everything he shows off is at least presentable. If mewtwo's animations/intro/etc are unfinished, he's not going to show them off. Presumably the character model is finished, which is why he showed him.
Also, I read on the 8-player-smash neogaf thread that you could still use 5 players on every stage. Is this true?
I think it's some kind of spring to reach the top quickly.

Wrecking Crew stage looks kind of... bad. Visually. Pretty much nothing about it seems to match the quality of the rest of what we've seen.
Other M Ridley is not presentable. Don't lie now.
I'm just being obnoxious though. Of course I don't like the design, but Ridley actually looks pretty well realized for what it's trying to be.
With regards to the last part, I hope so. I'd actually wish we could do 8 players on every stage. I'd love to pick the smallest stages and just enjoy as the chaos ensues.
True to the original.
Actually I kinda like it. A touch bland yeah, but there's only so much to work with.

Does anyone have a screencap of the Flying Man in the direct?
Wait, didn't he say he saw them move on 3DS too? I remember someone mentioning it. If so I'm afraid he made everything up.

I think with Mewtwo that people are making the mistake of assuming he won't be finished until 2015.
Just because he's being released in March or whatever doesn't mean it will take that long to develop him. He could be almost done already. Things are withheld for marketing reasons all the time releasing Mewtwo in Spring insured continued interest in Smash Bros through that quarter.

Yup, outlines and everything.
Yeah. Hyrule warriors and Mario kart 8's DLC are likely similar. They're either done or close to done on almost everything they're going to be adding for DLC, but are staggering it to keep people playing/interested.
And he claimed he saw Ridley on the 3ds version, right?
I hate to pry your source, but if by chance he saw a reworked move and could describe it, that'd be good evidence towards him not being a liar (assuming the reworked move appeared I mean).
Good question.
I want to say probably, since the 3DS version has relevant voice files, and I think the Wii U connection option on the 3DS game mentions using it as a Smash controller for Wii U.
Yes:
http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry11.html
"You can use the Nintendo 3DS family of systems as controllers as long as you have a　Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS for each system."
It's also likely that's why the Wii U's modes had announcer recordings on the 3DS (Special Orders, 8 player smash, etc), so that when you select them on Wii U, the announcer will say it on your 3DS.
How could he see that Ridley model moving on 3DS? There's not even a Ridley trophy on the 3DS version, Sakurai clearly planned Boss Ridley to be in the Wii U version only. Really seems he's lying.
YEa, it says you have to click on one of the 3DS Smash menu options and do the same on the WiiU.

Vets make a good "testing grounds" for DLC.
Besides, only Lucas, Wolf, and IC are left. Might as well complete the cast. Pichu evolved into Pikachu and Roy is already in the game in two ways
I'd take Ivysaur over any of the veterans you mention there...

Thanks for the update! All I really care about is Chorus Kids, and this gives me hope. Interested to see what those other models were for... If you happen to get any more info, please feel free to share.

Does anyone have a screencap of the James McCloud trophy? Something about the F-Zero racers' trophies make me happy.
Eh, I kind of like it. Certainly more than I do the visual style of 75M.

Or maybe Ridley/Chorus Kids/Dixie were in development for 3DS and cut/delayed for one reason or another. Maybe the game couldn't handle ridley + 4 fighters + 60fps. Maybe dixie felt unfinished/boring and was shelved. Maybe 3DS couldn't handle 4 chorus kids at once.
None of these things disprove it. It's impossible to tell if he made it up or not. We can guess all we want and make assumptions, but there's always the possibility he isn't lying as well. The only way to know for sure is if sakurai flat-out denies that it ever happened.
Spainkiller, if you get a chance, can you also ask if he ever saw moving/playable ice climbers on 3DS?

Presenting the FULL Super Smash Bros for Wii U Character Select Screen as made by me:
And for good measure, a version of it before we get Mewtwo:
If this isn't what it looks like in the final release then Sakurai, you've done gone fucked up. I toyed around with 5 rows and it looked dreadful. Only thing is there's only space for one more DLC character as opposed to the 3DS' additional 3 so don't know what will happen there but as of now this is the best I can get it to look without seriously fucking with everything.

Lol, that has to be an NOA employee screwing with us. Obviously doesn't confirm snake, but it's funny they chose solidarity (which has boss in the description) and used the names david/john. There's no way that's coincidence.

The background colors range from orange to yellow to pink, so I assume pink is very right and orange is very left, which would tell me captain falcon is in the wrong place.

Come to think of it, wasn't the Mario Bros. song briefly featured in the sound test?
Pic of the day. At long last, the Wii U version supports eight-player multiplayer!! It gets pretty hectic watching eight people duke it out at once. For more details, check out "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza"
And here's a stage prepared for a large number of fighters, Big Battlefield!! Fighters can spread out, so it should be easier battling on a stage like this.
8 player on custom stages will be crazy.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I know, but in SSB64 it's "Congo," and we're getting the N64 version.
EDIT: Oh, I see what you're saying. So they've already updated the name, as of Melee.
From the website's How to Play section:
Look 1 slot below the tip of the arrow.
thanksShould've said I'm less prone to believe him now. Of course we have no way to know if he lied.
Though he apparently works for EU localization... so I don't know how that cut stuff could've reached his eyes, so close to release as well. You don't send WIP stuff that doesn't work yet to localization, right?
In other news, have you seen how beautiful this baby is?
I think I'm throwing up a little. Thank you whoever designed that abomination in Other M

I don't know, man, I trust him. 3DS Ridley seems unlikely, yes, but weirder stuff has happened.

The backgrounds are dynamic, as seen in the direct yesterday. I screen captured and then crudely moved the characters round to fit with the unlockables. Falcon's background colour will change when he goes from being on the left to the right.

Looks like that's it for Ridley, shame, wanted another Metroid rep in the game, hopefully there's another Metroid game this gen that warrants a new character for the next smash. Also, did they have to bring back 75M? If I remember, did people really like that stage?

As an industry member, I can say this is definitely not true. We work off of in-progress game builds with unfinished assets all the time. People involved with world-building, deciding on terminology/UI issues, etc. get access to information quite early on, and given the scale of this project, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the localization staff learns new information alongside the development of the game.
Maybe? It's just localization, not playtesting, so you probably just send whatever working build you have. Localization has to start pretty early, too, so you can have trailers with the correct fighter names, etc. If all they're doing is translating text/modifying textures with text, then there's no need to give them a near final build that doesn't crash/etc. They just need to be able to test that their translated text renders in-game properly. If ridley/chorus kids/dixie/mewtwo were in for whatever reason and causing issues or anything, then that doesn't affect localization.
Glad to hear my guess (I'm a software engineer, but not in the game world) confirmed by someone who actually localizes! Thanks! Cool to know.

Well right now as Metroid fans we have to live with the fact the only rep we will ever get at this point is Samus.
Meanwhile with Mario, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem...

N64 Congo Jungle is backI have no idea why bring back THAT and not Hyrule Castle, Dreamland or Saffron City, which are all infinitely more popular
Hear hear!
So it's on the same stage, you mean.
I'm disappointed you list Pichu before Roy :/
They made one. It was called the Subspace Emissary.
Yup good old Congo Jungle
also
wtf

No, no one liked 75m. I couldn't tell you what Sakurai - or whoever the stage designer for Smash 4 is - was thinking with these games. The 3DS version has more than a few awful stages, and now the Wii U version is looking to be similarly as bad.
Look forward to the return of Fan Favorite stages like Hanenbow, Rumble Falls, and New Pork City.
The only chance for Metroid being properly repped is Sakurai stepping down or a good Metroid game becoming popular in Japan. And, well, neither of those seem likely for quite a while.
I look forward to Metroid finally getting the recognition is deserves in, say, Smash 7.

Got to tell you, I had trying to KO people in mushroomy kingdom, especially when the block prevent them from dying. They could've replace that stage with a new DK or Metroid stage.
