Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments

Some digging found THIS old compiling of the fanmail responses which lists the characters we know reached Sakurai, but it's obviously a very limited sample size (~300 people), not everyone suggested/remarked on characters, and those that did just mentioned one.

For reference, the "most wanted" character was King Dedede with... 5 votes. I remember this being talked about back in the day but I've never really thought it worth much.
 
Hey guys, this is Sakurai. I've hacked this guys NeoGaf account to bring the internet exclusive information.

First of all, none of the characters are cut, in fact were tripling the amount of characters in the game.

Also, yes Ridley will be playable character in the game.

He's big, I mean really big. So big that he is also a stage. THATS RIGHT, Ridley is the series first literal playable stage. How will that work, well you're just going to have to take my vague statement and speculate.

And for the last time Geno won't get in!!!

What, you wanna release date too? Look forward to playing the game sometime in the near or distant future.

Now shut up and look at my cat.

Sakurai has spoken.
 
Man I have been out of the loop in SmashGAF.....sleeping schedule is so messed up. At least Sakurai and Co. will be back in a day. Wonder if we'll get a special pic. Will probably be what a poster suggested before: Same battlefield stage with the 4 iconic characters doing a pose. At best we will get something something Mariokart stage related.

Why do I feel like I just got spoiled :(

As for the Zelda series, Gannondorf desperately needs a special where he fires a ball of energy. Of course, the two links (but no-one else) can simply knock it straight back at him. Balanced? No. Awesome? Yes.
 
o_O I would hardly call it a fanwank. They added new mechanics and changed some character moves but I would say they are certainly in the spirit of Melee.

Waaah Wario Land isn't represented and we hate Wario Ware, so let's change him!
Waaah we're more used to Melee Falco, so let's turn him back into a clone!
Waaah we're so unfamiliar with Pokemon so we use the anime! Muh charizard!

etc.
 
I wasn't, genuinely sorry.

Happens man, it's alright, just try and be more careful next time. And hey, now gaffers who actually read the forum at a decent hour won't get spoiled hahaha.
...Mmmm, maybe if I drink more I'll forget it myself...shall put theory to test!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what caused it. I'm recovering from strep and cough syrup+ beer prolly made me a little careless. Thanks for being understanding.
 
Is it a Smash Bros rumour? Y/N

If Y = It's not true.
If Y, and from GameFAQs = It's extra not true.
If N = Go about your day.
 
I'll believe a rumor if they manage to correctly predict something absurdly obscure like the guy who predicted the dragoon parts. Most character predictions are too "easy".
 
Palutena predated Uprising, and she is almost certainly the new KI rep we'll get, if anyone. (But in her Uprising design, so it would still work.)

What are you guys talking about? Why does everyone forget about Magnus? I'd be down for Magnus. His music is rad, he has a move set, and he's awesome.
 
Guys.. I come to this thread for the daily screenshots... But I have to wade through pages of anime dumbstuff, ridiculous rumors, and inside jokes to get there.

Don't they only post these on miiverse, or is it also on the official website each day?

They post them both on Miiverse and on the official website. Miiverse comments usually (but not always) go up first, with a comment from Sakurai if there's anything gameplay related to note.

If I recalled correctly, we got three legit leaks at GameFAQs during Brawl hype. Early leak was Dragoon and few stuffs that I can't really remembers.

You could simply check my OP since I linked daily image in my OP if you don't want to check official website or miiverse. However, they are on a week break, and they will be back tomorrow.
 
I'm hoping Meta Knight is this week so we can see if Sakurai gave him hilarious bullshit nerfs. Ex: Hurting Meta Knight enough will knock off his mask Vega style and now he is too ashamed to attack until he picks it back up.

I feel sorry for you. Avoid this thread as much as possible.

Images appear on Miiverse and the official webpage.

I cannot leave as I am now bounded, run whilst you can!

I hope he does reveal MK this week. Dying for my MK Neorice avatar, then anyone can feel free to have this Rosa pic.

Love it.

Also, Shuttle Loop will go a random direction every time. Yes, even up or down.

It's right under Daily Image. It will automatically updated when it's up, and we have two links to daily image collection if you missed anything.

Actually, someone did escaped the grasp of deadly SmashGAF. I forget his name tho.
 
If Sakurai takes another screenshot break and there's not a Nintendo Direct scheduled during that time, I'm not going to be EatChildren Thread Grandma and let you kids stay up past your bedtime.
