I would rather pay for the 3DS DLC than having to buy a Wii U and the game in order to get those extra characters. *shrugs

People found more things in text dumps.
Usually, we would get franchise if we are getting playable representatives which is stages or characters. Strange enough, we haven't seen Wrecking Crew stage, so I presume that it would be a stage in Wii U version.
Also for the news, Wii U Leak could be disproven if we are getting Wrecking Crew stage because Wii U leak's stages list don't have Wrecking Stage on the list.

What's the category those names are in? Stage names? Icon filenames?

Touch! Generations is also not on the 3DS version, so it may be hinting we are going to get a Brain Age/Wii Fit Wii U stage. Isaac being exclusive to Wii U as a AT would also be funny.

You could make the argument that Touch Generations is represented by PictoChat 2.

Franchise list (IIRC)
Well, Touch! Generation was in Brawl franchise section so it should be for Pictochat or Electroplankton
The file for the DS logo (PictoChat) is named "touch," so that's probably what that's for.
And the Dr. Kawashima AT.
In the smash direct, assist trophies had franchise icons (or the generic smash bros icon if they didn't belong to anything, like Saki). I wonder if it's tied to the trophy for the stage or Dr Kawashima's trophy?

Character Text Dump
If you see double Wii Fit Trainer, Robin and Villager. I'm pretty sure that it's because of female and male gender.

Ice Climbers must have REALLY been cut late.

I really want to hear about that Ice Climbers data.
Rock Pikmin data sounds interesting too.
EDIT:
Also, who are Leilani, Leila, and Grams?

EDIT:
I think I remember seeing some issue with the placement of the Boo and Lakitu trophies, as apparently in the 3DS version they were placed in the same category as stage assets. Maybe something in the Wii U version has these characters? Or a cut stage?

Is there a link to the Smashboards thread this is being dumped on? I didn't see it on the 3DS board.

I take it that Rock Pikmin aren't part of Olimar's custom moveset then.
I'd really like to see more about the Ice Climbers. I interpreted Sakurai's statement as the Ice Climbers not having much effort put into them because they weren't relevant. Now it seems that they were cut really last-minute.

Yeah, wonder if they were cut from a luigi's mansion/mario stage? Like, what if lakitu was added to mushroomy kingdom as a hazard/boss and then cut?
They are Kapp'n's family in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. So, Tortimer Island.

Rock Pikmin makes me wonder if Alph was going to either use them instead of Purples, or if they were outright going to make him a clone and didn't get around to it. Or maybe one of Olimar's customs.
Also more proof Ice Climbers were probably cut within the last 6-8 months.

Pic of the day. Master Hand's glove rips open, and a mysterious substance we're calling the swarm, er, swarms out. The amount of this substance determines the shape of your final opponent, and you will have to launch it away in small clusters at a time. The higher your intensity, the denser the substance will be.
Oh that's a pretty interesting way to determine his final form.

Seeing them together is odd, especially Lakitu (since he's already an Assist).
Boo alone I could see functioning as some kind of hazard in a Dark Moon stage.
I see now. I never really talked to them much, most of the time I walked right in, caught some bugs, and left without talking to anyone there.
Two questions:
1. What are Olimar's custom moves?
2. This information isn't some crap on 4chan right? This is from a verified SmashBoards user?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I mentioned all of that stuff back when the trophy texture files were leaked. It's not new stuff.
I could see it, though. Still hoping he was on the chopping block and was delayed to be DLC instead, but whatever. Nice catch on Touch! Generations; forgot all about that label so I was confused for a second.

Welp, this deconfirms the "TOWER OF SMASH" leak. I expect to see Wrecking Crew, Wii Sports Resort, and Miiverse stages in the Wii U version. The Touch Generations emblem is used for Pictochat 2, by the way.

"It seems they were running in the Wii U version, but due to the required hardware power, the team couldnt make them work in the 3DS game. There wasnt as high a priority given to series that are unlikely to have another installment at this time." Summary of Sakurai's statement.
I interpreted this as "Ice Climbers didn't work, so we didn't put much time into them" but now it's looking like "we spent a lot of time trying to get Ice Climbers to work, but ultimately gave up near the end."
We know at the very least that the Ice Climbers weren't cut by E3 2013.
The Captain

Wii Sports Resort assets were probably used in the Wii U Pilot Wings stage.
I'm really curious about a potential MiiVerse stage.
Green Mamba
Member
It's not a list of where assets originated from, though. It's a list of franchises, presumably ones with symbols, which indicates a character or stage. The Pilotwings franchise already covers that stage.
Though it's possible that some of these franchises ended up getting cut in the process though, as is evidenced by the Ice Climber franchise being listed despite the lack of the Ice Climber symbol for their trophies. So while it strongly suggests the presence of some stages, it's not a guarantee at this point.
Green Mamba
Member
That is odd. Maybe they overwrote the Ice Climber symbol with the Balloon Fight one? I dunno, just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Hard to say what's up with it without further context.

There's still a lot to be found out about DLC, but I think once the Wii U version is out we can at least kill the Ridley playable rumors (since he'll be a stage boss on Pyrosphere).
I'm sort of hoping for/expecting Ice Climbers as DLC, especially if some work went into them.

Not really. Remember, even though we had an idea that Mario Kart would receive DLC, we still had no idea we would be getting what we have. There will always be those holding onto that thin rope.

At least nobody expected that one giant eel in Dolphin Shoals to be playable.

If those possible Wii U stages are true (Wii Sports Resort, Wrecking Crew, Miiverse), then, unless Sakurai has completely lost the plot and Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Wario, and Game & Watch get no new stages in either version, then it's guaranteed that there are more new stages than the 3DS version--the current new stage roster + those rumored three + those four forgone ones (at least, I hope they're forgone) would equal 26, one more than the 3DS version, and I doubt we've seen the end of the Mario stages either at the very least.
TheSlySoul
Member
Yeah, I can see your point. Although I will be upset if DK or Yoshi do not get a new stage in the Wii U version. I get porting the Brawl version if you have a new stage in mind though.

DK and Yoshi are both on that list, right?

It does seem odd to have both the Pilotwings stage and a Wii Sports Resort stage, but reusing Wuhu Island for another stage would help in stage creation and is kind of true to Wuhu Island's spirit, I guess. The platform suspended above water where you swordfight would be a good stage location.
Though I suppose it's also possible that the Wii Sports Resort stage was originally separate from the Pilotwings stage and they were merged together later on. Who knows, I guess.

Yeah, it was strange. I wonder if Wii Sports Resort is being there as Mii Fighter's stage, awhile Pilotwing being standby franchise to represent itself.

Hm? No leak was proven right. If anything, the most talked about recent leak was potentially proven wrong.
I was referring to the ESRB leak for the 3DS roster.

In all seriousness, I genuinely believe Ridley & Mewtwo will be playable in some form.
They are such a heavily requested characters; their not impossible to put in like Geno, and they haven't faded into obscurity by Nintendo like King K. Rool.
IGN wants them, ScrewAttack wants them, even Mew2King wants Ridley (and obviously Mewtwo as well).
Little Mac, Sonic, King Dedede; all heavily fan-requested characters that became playable eventually.
And with the possibility of DLC, they will always have a chance.

Ridley in particular is one of the few remaining characters that haven't been in Smash but seem to have that perfect storm going for them. He's the second most important character from a relevant, active franchise that is arguably under-represented in Smash, and he's one of the most requested characters by fans.
There's not really any reason to think they couldn't make him work either, I mean, this is a team that got Duck Hunt Dog to work.
That said, I'm not expecting any character DLC until it's announced or an obvious leak pops up, and that hasn't happened yet. So, maybe in Smash 5.
Yeah. At this point, the only thing stopping Ridley is that they're saving him for Smash 5, since he's the most important character not already in the game. He's getting in someday. Maybe now because he's desired, or maybe later to have a big, announce-with-the-game newcomer ala Villager & Mega Man. But it will happen. Mark my words.

Ridley will never be in Smash because Sakurai hates Ridley and his fans.
Choppasmith

I would agree with Sakurai if this were the case. Ridley and his fans suck. No really, unless there's some kind of killer awesome reimagined Metroid game where they make Ridley a worthwhile character, I never want him in Smash as a playable character.

You're a bit late on that one.
