Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!

I can't believe we haven't gotten another character announcement yet. It feels like forever since we had Marth. Sakurai is not seriously waiting until Christmas before he announces the next one is he?

Well, he might. Japanese release date for Zelda 3DS is Dec 26.
 
On December 26 Sakurai will just post a picture of Toon Link against a wall with a comment like "Hey, it's not working!"
 
Come on guys. These daily pictures were never meant to be the outlet for reveals. There was never meant to be reveals daily or even weekly.

It's not the dojo

What? Did you even follow daily images with miiverse comments? Sakurai have been tossing out a new small or big information almost everyday. Technically we got reveals everyday for last two or three weeks.

Find Mii aka StreetPass Quest stage (or boss stage)
Animal Crossing 3DS stage
Steel Diver Torpedo Gun
Ray Gun
Skull Kid as AT
Nintendog make a return to SSB
Stage Hazard (Today and Thursday) Yellow Devil (I'm pretty sure that Sakurai want to clarifying that Yellow Devil is Stage Hazard today)
Moveset explanation
Buff explanation


Wonder if it's just my browser, but the Official Site still has the Nintendog as the featured pic.

You sure about that? Because so far, we haven't seen any trailers for any veteran reveals after the E3 direct except for Sonic. Peach, Marth, Toon Link, Luigi and Olimar all were revealed on the official site, and nowhere else.
And that's just the characters, not even counting the stages or Assist Trophies.

I'm not saying that reveals don't happen through it. I'm saying that the purpose of them is not to reveal things.

Yeah, in the past couple of weeks there has been a notable increase in the amount of new stuff shown, but still, it's not the intent of the daily images
 
I'm not saying that reveals don't happen through it. I'm saying that the purpose of them is not to reveal things.

So there can only be 1 purpose for the site?
How about this: The site is meant to be for regular in-game screenshots like most of the time AND reveals. Because obviously, it's been used as an outlet for both.
 
Sure, they're probably keeping the big reveals for Nintendo Directs or some other large announcement, but it's obvious that some things are being revealed here. The problem isn't unmet expectations that we should be getting reveals, it's that we want (and sometimes expect) a new reveal everyday.

Myself included.

It's an outlet for news, but we still haven't gotten a major reveal through it. Of course, that's subjective and depends on how you feel about items and stages.

I think it was his intention to deliver new informations through Nintendo Direct and Miiverse (daily images) I'm pretty sure that it was his intention to hyping us up throughout Miiverse. I think Dojo is just too much work for him, so Daily image is the simplified version of Dojo and still deliver the new information based on contents. Dojo still have bad day of updates and good days of updates, so Miiverse would too. I'm easily pleased with the images everyday, so you wouldn't see any complaints from me.

Edited: To clarifying what I meant with Nintendo Direct, I'm pretty sure that they are saving the big reveals for Nintendo Direct or Smash Direct if it's possible.
 
Just in case anyone is blind like me:

I think this should surely end any speculation that it Yellow Devil is a boss thing in a story/adventure mode or an assist trophy.

Why do I keep seeing people say this, and it holds no water in reality whatsoever...

I mean, who told you it wasn't meant for reveals, again? And does not Marth, Luigi, Peach, Olimar, Toon Link... and several stages, items, AT... today a Stage Hazard...

What are reveals, if not that stuff?

But what if we had a Boss Battles mode similar to Brawl? Yellow Devil flying in from the background would be a perfectly viable entry animation and it would explain 2 players (MP Boss Battles) as well as the absence of Mega Man (free character choice in Boss Battles). You're probably right, but based on the info we have it's still possible that Yellow Devil is a boss.

That would mean they would introduce boss intro animations, which wasn't in Brawl outside of the story mode, but those were CGI.

I think what he means is it's not exclusively for reveals or new info. As we know, 80% of the time it's just posting whatever Sakurai thinks is cute and funny.

You're not the first to mention this but I still don't get why this means Yellow Devil has to be a stage hazard? For all we know, once we get to this stage in the single player, Yellow devil jumps off the Castle and the battle begins. Kinda of like the mini cutscene we get when we fight Master Hand.

Also can anyone remind me of a stage hazard in previous games that we could attack? In the Mega Man reveal trailer I remember seeing him shooting at Yellow Devil which means you can probably kill it. I don't recall ever being able to do that with past stage hazards (I usually play on very plain stages though so that could be why I'm forgetting).
 
Yeah, I think that the daily pics were disappointing before October~. The last few weeks have been very interesting. From stages to Assist Trophies and items to even smaller things like attacks, updates on fighters on confirmations of returning things. I like it. A Dojo site would be better though in order to have a database for all these things. The Sakurai comments, the pics, the infos.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but the daily pics aren't a new thing right? They first were used on KIU, for items, weapons etc, iirc.

That's a good observation. I don't believe their are any hazards that you could kill in any previous games. Although I think that would be really cool.

Master and Crazy Hand have ingame entry animations in Classic Mode. Not in Boss Battles, but that wouldn't be impossible to add.

Also can anyone remind me of a stage hazard in previous games that we could attack?

Smash 64: POW Block in Mushroom Kingdom
Melee: Organic parts on Brinstar (that would cause the stage to separate), Tingle in Great Bay, falling blocks in Green Greens, Birdo in Kingdom 2, house parts in Onett, rotating blocks on Yoshi's Island
Brawl: Statues at Castle Siege, flowers on Distant Planet (that would drop the pellets), checkpoint post in Green Hill Zone, leaves in Hanenbow, pillars of Luigi's Mansion, POW Block and enemies in Mario Bros., breakable blocks in Mushroomy Kingdom (at least I -think- they were breakable), door to the safety capsule in Norfair, walls on Shadow Moses Island, platforms on Skyworld, Fly Guys on Yoshi's Island, Balloons on Smashville

I'm sure there's other parts that can be interacted with, but I'm fairly certain I got the majority of them.

v there we go, there's some I missed.

Certain Pokemon in Saffron City in Smash 64

Birdo in the SMB2 stage

The F-zero cars in Mute city could be destroyed

King Bulbmin in the Twilight princess stage

The Mario bros. Arcade enemies.
 
I will never bet my avatar.
Aw, come on. It's fun!

If I'm not wrong, someone lost a bet here a few days ago to SkullHydra but never changed their avatar...

I would know because the new avatar was another pony, and I'd hate to be the only one haha
I think they stopped posting here, so I'm not sure if they ever adopted the avatar or not. And Red Arremer's avatar is pony related, so you're kind of not alone. Lol.
 
Not sure if anyone has posted it (I'm sure someone has) but Sakurai's Twitter account confirmed the game is not coming in the spring. All he can say is sometime in 2014.
 
From what I noticed there's new individual animations when characters face either direction but this doesn't happen in the 3DS version oddly.

Edit: Nevermind, the stances in this pic is more emphasized, I'm not sure what animation the characters are doing.


-1 sale. Goodbye Nintendo's business.

Welcome to SmashGAF. For a while, just seeing the Yellow Devil in the back would've been a big update.

Btw, Sakurai is uploading a pic EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I don't see a Titanfall pic every day.
Nor a Destiny one.

etc.

got 2 people


It makes me feel old when people don't get that joke.

you'd think they would see it in some general gaming thread, it's not like parodies don't show up anymore

Welcome to NeoGAF, that post is a dumb meme not even being used that well

would you like some salt with that

anyway, more avatar bets?
*grabs popcorn*
 
Oh smash gaf and your bets. Anywhoo where's the best character aka sandbag sakurai? He needs a new moveset.

Agreed he deserves it. He should have a moveset mainly around dodging and countering at super speeds. It would nice lol.

Shoutout to Project M for putting sandbag in that one larrge training stage. :3

There's also the Mario Kart stage.

Wow there's more than I remember, thanks for the refresher. Even after reading that though I still don't see a hazard that would be quite like Yellow Devil.
 
I'm surprised tournament players aren't happy. If YD is in the background that means one will have notice of when he will appear on the stage surely. That means the hazard is less random.
