Even Ridley and Metal Face?
Anyone else really excited about Norfair coming back? One of the most underrated stages in the series, IMO. It's so much fun scrambling for the safe zone before the tidal wave of lava hits, and fighting one another to get inside. An absolute riot in local multiplayer. 
Looks really spiffy in HD, too. I always liked the look of this stage. Vibrant colors, epic lava floes, and the distant background is true to the source material with the fleshy green formations, etc.

That looks amazing!
I really don't mind all these classic stages coming back, they all look amazing.

? I'm not. Why does everyone keep saying that I'm joking. ._.
It seems really likely either the huge Ridley is playable, or a smaller sized Super Metroid Ridley (due to icon)
And since Spainkiller's source said that they saw the big Other M Ridley on 3DS version I think its the Other M Ridley. Most likely can be unlocked on WiiU then transfered to 3DS after unlocking, or theres no stage hazard on Pyrophere since he may still be in development and mass hysteria ensues.

sure
but it would probably make Boss Doggie very sad
edit: see Norfair is a great example of a stage with hazards that aren't overly intrusive

Call me crazy, but this level looks awesome. I dunno, I like the idea of constantly racing to the top and constantly doing things to fuck up the competition. Worth a try.
I'll admit though, there are MANY gimmicky stages with way too much going on in them. I'm willing to give em all a try, but between bosses, partners/helpers, moving levels, and constant destruction, there's so much chaos it'll be hard to keep track the battle. Even the Star Fox stage, which looks awesome, has you departing from the Great Fox to board flying ships. It'll probably be fun, but I'd like a new dormant Great Fox stage ala Melee and 64. Maybe the FD variant will appease me? Who knows. Hell, it might even be awesome. We'll see.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I swear, the English convos would probably have its own flair given that the KIU had apparently Monty Python writers.
but I got nothing against British Ridley

Yeah, even though it's another Lava based Metroid stage, I'm excited for it. Real glad to see it back.
That reminds me how sterilized the P:M version was.

It's going to be odd hearing the StarFox 64 3D voices on this stage. Already seemed surreal in the direct, but I can see now that they're flat out talking about stuff that happened during this level in Star Fox Assault, so there's an extra level of bizarre. Krystal and Panther will probably appear here too like they did in Assault, just for yet another level of weird.
That's what Mii fighters are for!

One of my favorite Metroid stage. I love how I always kicked my opponents out of barrier and let them dealing with the lava. Sadly, it's very easy to dodge the lava wall in Brawl.
Also I would love to see Brinstar Depth coming back as well tho.
Etika should film himself freaking out over Sakurai acknowledging the video of Etika filming himself freaking out #freakoutinception

I'll be so disappointed if there's not a new f zero stage
Port town aero drive is good though but I need more falcon stages

Gonna ask again--does anyone have a screencap for the Flying Man appearing in the Smash Tour part of the direct? Or a time stamp?

Just different voice actors, the characters are the same.
I mean, it would mean something if Star Fox voice actors changing was a new thing.

I'm not going to say I'm laughing at your sadness because that would be rude
so I have nothing else to add to this post
That seemed sort of suspicious, especially since they could have been more general or just used the Starfox conversations as an example. I can hope it means something, but it's likely just an innocuous reference. There wouldn't have been any legal issues with using the name like this without Konami's knowledge, would there?
Does Frigate Orpheon really count as a Metroid stage, though?
I was thinking this morning that I will be very sad if one of the events isn't a single player against 7 different Koopa Kids.
Give me a sec, I'll find it for you buddy

It should be Bowser Jr against the 7 Koopalings. And the event can be named "Fight for Bowser's love"

doesn't have lava or acid, so it's not a real Metroid stage /s

It's mostly that a lot of the Assault voices were very different from their 64 voices. Slippy and Wolf in particular.
*Sigh* Dammit. I was thinking that his KO Icon being his Super Metroid design meant that he might have been considered for a playable character at one point until Sakurai dropped the idea for whatever reason, and was a late-enough cut that the DLC team could whip him up together relatively quickly, compared to starting over from scratch. Granted, I'm hoping the same thing for the Ice Climbers in the Wii U game as well, or that possible "Make them 8-Bit Sprites only for 3DS and possibly 8 Player, but have their Smash models as options everywhere else" idea, so I'm probably being overly optimistic, anyway. Glad to see that we have Mewtwo and you don't owe EmCee your soul, though! And you never know; maybe Mewtwo'll end up as part of a pack with someone? And maybe that someone's Dixie? Because after the Ice Climbers got cut, I'm doubting the Chorus Kids, and I seriously thought Ridley would be playable when Smash 4 was announced, hence why I got hyped for him and not, say, Mega Man or the Villager, but now I've been burned too hard to think he'll ever be anything more than a worse version of the Flying Men...
He better; despite how much I talk about Ridley, Hades is Nintendo's best villain, and may be one of my favorite villains of all time, despite only being around for under half of a game! Granted, Chrom's cameo alone has me over the moon. Here's hoping Palutena and Dark Pit have general chatter conversations, too!
Oh, yes, they referenced Pyoro!
Awesome!
I doubt it, since Stadium might be too obscure for them, but personally I'd be all over it.
Wait, Rayquaza? Where? If he's back, then Boss/Hazard Toggle definitely needs to be an option if it keeps stopping beautiful looking stages from being competitively viable; I want tournaments to be spectacles, and we've all said this, but Omega Mode just assimilates all stages under Final Destination; there's no way it's going to be used in tournaments. Hell, even a Battlefield-style Alpha mode won't fix that!
Also, I still find it suspect that Miiverse is a Battlefield clone. I mean, it's not too surprising, but still. I wonder how hard Nintendo's going to have to monitor that stage. Like, are they going to
This all feels really weird, too. Like, seriously, maybe Snake is going to be DLC? I mean, I'd love it if Sakurai & Co. surprised us with, like, that Mini Game Series Kangaroo, but with Ridley the way he is, and with (probably) Chorus Kids and Ice Climbers dying everywhere thanks to roster parity and maybe 8-Player Mode (But again, why not just allow them for 4-Player and below, or make them low-FPS Sprites to work in these situations?), our only leads for others right now are Dixie from Spainkiller and Lucas from way back in the Gematsu leak! ... And maybe Ridley; I'm still baffled by the use of his superior design for his KO Icon when his awful Other M is being used. I mean, like, did he have that Icon somewhere in Brawl? Did bosses have icons there and I just forgot?
As ace as that'd be, I'm really considering it a gentle nod and nothing more. Not that I'd mind being proved wrong, of course.
Frigate Orpheon always seemed to me like a poor man's Brinstar Depths, so I'm pleased as punch that they went with the infinitely superior Norfair here. One of my favorite stages in Brawl.

Wasn't there a part with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon music during the Direct. Also, some music that sounded a lot like Pyrite Town with Fact 48
Brilliant! Wrap it up and ship it.
Flying Man -- I see two possibilities here: Magicant is in the WiiU version, or he's an Assist Trophy in the WiiU version.
Huh. A list of music that played during the Direct'd be nice... Plus the stuff from the old Smash Fest tournament, because I know they played the Gear Getaway remix there, as well as Dark Pit's theme and, most importantly, the still-unaccounted for Highway theme from MegaMan X. I know I caught the Nintendo Land theme in the Direct, and some others I can't remember off-hand. Maybe we are getting a Nintendo Land theme, or it's playing on Wuhu Island/Miiverse? All of those options are great for me; the remix was grand!

fff finally caved in...
Bought a Wii U off Rakuten for $270, 32gb with SMW and Nintendo Land. Next stop is Super Smash Bros and Bayonetta.

It's just a trophy... Riiiiiiiiight?
Also, neat there's a trophy of the ghosts from the original Luigi's Mansion, unlike the 3DS game which has a trophy of the ghosts from LM2.
Makes sense -- console vs. portable, etc.
Why can't he just be in Smash Tour? Tac, Souflee, Reaper, and Banzai Bill show up as well, but I doubt they'll be featured outside of the mode.

i don't really see why they'd be inclined to include the trophy unless they're bringing the stage back
and mario bros sucksssssss
i suppose i'll wait and see, nonetheless~
The implication of that trophy is the Mario Bros. stage may return.
That's true, and a very good point I hadn't considered.Ryce said:
