Or vice versa. It takes a lot of effort to make two games at the same time.

So is there actually going to be character reveals next month?

Since the game comes out early September for Japan, I'm sort of on the fence. I could easily see a returning character or two showing up before then, but as far as a newcomer, it's hard to say.

On one hand, showing a last second new character could help anyone on the fence about the game decide to get it. On the other hand, they'll probably want to keep some characters a secret before launch.


RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - Be a Man, Turn Off Your Items - Kriven - 07-29-2014

I'm expecting a newcomer reveal, and then a big launch trailer in September showcasing a number of the other veterans.

If only I have a Wii U. Venusaur/Blastoise As Playable?


RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - Be a Man, Turn Off Your Items - Jermungandr - 07-29-2014

I'm expecting at least one regular Friday veteran reveal update, and one newcomer video which will probably also confirm another veteran like the Lucina one did for Cap. Falcon. Not necessarily all within August but at least before the Sept. 13 release date.

Isn't there supposed to be another Nintendo Direct in August?


RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - Be a Man, Turn Off Your Items - TomGuycott - 07-29-2014

I think that MIGHT just be an assumption based on the trends the direct have being about two months apart. However, that has been fairly accurate, more or less. (I don't think there was an actual direct in June, but E3 happened and revealed a whole lot).


RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - Be a Man, Turn Off Your Items - Jermungandr - 07-29-2014

Nothing has been announced.


RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - Be a Man, Turn Off Your Items - Koopaul - 07-30-2014

There was a Nintendo Direct last year in August after E3. But I don't remember there being any Smash stuff revealed in it.


RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - Be a Man, Turn Off Your Items - Ark Kuvis - 07-30-2014

Luigi was announced, actually. Hot off the trail of Mario and Luigi: Dream Team. The following Direct in October revealed Sonic, and then December's revealed Rosalina.

also here's six characters that probably won't get into Smash Bros (but if they did oh man wouldn't that be cool.)

Dixie: I mean c'mon throw the DK franchise a bone Sakurai. Returns was amazing, Tropical Freeze was amazing. The DK franchise is back and better than ever! Dixie's literally the best character you could include, though I mean I'm cool with K. Rool or Cranky too.

Captain Charlie: Imagine Olimar, only bigger and beefier. I'd imagine Charlie would be able to strike his opponents without Pikmin, but would certainly share the same basic B specials with Olimar. Only, instead of the five pikmin circle that Olimar has, Charlie would have a four Pikmin circle that included the powerful Rock Pikmin.

K. K. Slider: Man this one and Charlie are probably the least likely characters ever, but I think K. K. Slider is the most iconic non-Villager Animal Crossing character. and this franchise just really deserves two reps. I feel like Slider would have a very musical moveset, swinging his guitar around and shooting CDs as projectiles. Maybe even include some DJ equipment as an attack. Not a likely choice at all, but I think him being a character based on Totaka the composer definitely means he deserves to be recognized.

Paper Mario:
Yesterday's reveal was just ~perfect~ because I love Paper Mario. Like it's one of my favourite franchises, ever. And he'd work so well as a playable character! Like, not even as a clone of Mario! Paper Mario would use hammer attacks as his Smash Attacks, unlike the original grade plumber, and I could see him transforming into a paper plane and dropping a bomb-omb like in Thousand Year Door. But his final smash is not up for debate, it HAS to be THE GOAT.

Shulk: I've only briefly played Xenoblade, but it's this massive RPG and it's just DSAFSGA -expansive-. Shulk's Monado could lead to him using a lot of cool attacks, and I mean he looks pretty cool for the standard JRPG protagonist. If Gematsu is going to be right about ANYTHING, it should be THIS GUY. (also fuck you Gematsu I had my hopes up about Chrom Sweatdrop I mean robin's cool but ffs Lucina??)

and finally, just like every motherfucking person on Smash Boards, Mewtwo. Because he's literally the only character they should've kept and brought back for Brawl. C'mon, he's literally the most iconic legendary, especially for us older Pokemon fans. Just tweek Mewtwo's design a little bit, give him a more powerful moveset, and stick a Mega Stone somewhere on it's body and presto.


RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - Be a Man, Turn Off Your Items - Kriven - 07-30-2014

I actually think the other Pikmin Captains have a chance of showing up as either Lucina-type clones or as alternate costumes, which Sakurai has alluded to.

Granted, of them I think Alph has the highest chance. But ya never know.

N Castle's confirmed it seems. So it'll be a Spear Pillar esque stage?

There damn better be a MD stage, though...


RE: SUPER SM4SH BROS - Be a Man, Turn Off Your Items - Crappy Blue Luigi - 07-31-2014

i would kill for a mystery dungeon stage
