SSB4 Rumor

[TomGuycott]

Although its just a rumor, a lot of the logic makes sense. Little Mac obviously was at least a little on Sakurai's mind for Brawl, seeing as he qualified as an assist trophy, and this was before his own revival. In fact, Kid Icarus' revival could be linked to his presence in Brawl (whether or not his inclusion in Brawl or the general plan to revive the series came first, but that's kind of a moot point seeing as it pretty much could work either way). The same effect could be used to revive interest in Takamaru, which already got a bit of love with the Nintendo Land minigame.

The rest of it I feel like is just trying to get my hopes up. King K. Rool and Ridley have been two characters I've wanted to play as for the longest time, and I always felt like they have been wanting to include them in some way. In Brawl they finally made Ridley a boss, and K. Rool keeps popping up as trophies (albeit with information in their descriptions that contradicts story, at least in the english releases of the game). What DOES get me nervous if it is true is the mention of Ridley being based on the Other M evolution. What confuses me is the wording about the "gameplay" being derived from it. I don't understand what that means exactly, but I assume they just mean using that design, which I didn't quite like as much. Mostly the design of his head rubs me the wrong way for some reason compared to more classic Ridley designs.

Anyway, if I keep talking I'll spend the next century talking about Smash Brothers and speculation, so I'd better quit while I can.
