Apparently there was a little bit of Smash info in famitsu. Not a lot of new information, except for sone customisation options with Sun Salutation (Slow Charge Multi-Hit, and Fast charge no Healing).

Also some Smash Run info, nothing too big outside of some of the items you can brng jnto Smash Run, like the DARK MAGIC CONTRACT.

My apologies if its already been posted. Didn't see it between the Takamaru, Waddle Dee and Melee pronounciation chat.




Didn't see anybody mention it, but King Dedede is in the lower right picture of the second page, plain as day.

Nah but it gets to the point where you've just gotta kinda realise the game isn't catering to your needs and do something else. If you're constantly just criticising the game before it's released I dunno, maybe it's not for you? Maybe don't buy it and move on with your life?

I'm not even constantly criticizing the game! I'm loving stoked as hell to Smash a ton of Bros this October, and then even more once the Wii U version comes out! I just think it's really dumb that anytime someone says something negative, no matter how small, a ton of people come running in to tell them to shut up and that competitive players are stupid.

"Appended to its own quotation is false" appended to its own quotation is false.
For some reason, Homer Simpson being in Smash popped into my head the other day, and the more I thought about it the more awesome I thought it was. I can just imagine him doing his characteristic scream during a meteor style K.O., the shorter, higher pitched version in a normal K.O., and shouting "D'oh!" as he hits the screen in a splatter K.O.

Obviously, this would be his final smash. His basic attacks could be like the ones he had in that old-as-hell Simpsons arcade game that every pizza place, arcade and mall had back in the 90's.

Never gonna happen, but it'd be hilarious.

Glitz Pit motherfuckers.

Also Doopliss's Castle.

EDIT: Actually Doopliss would be a cool assist trophy. Have him turn into one of your opponents and then have that opponent turn into him, and give him a really simple moveset that's mostly just tackling and flailing so you can reuse the same 2 animations.

Brawl had ROB and Lucario as non-clone Newcomers that were unlockable and not revealed before release (officially, anyway), so it stands to reason that Smash 4 might have the same thing.

I wanna see if there are other transformations for the other 2 Paper Mario games. Also since there are only two songs for the 3DS stages I wonder if one of them might be a medley of songs that cycles along with the stage transformations? It would be a nice way to get more music from a series long overdue for representation.

Supercar Gautier
Jun 10, 2006

Definitely possible that there'll be a medley, since several of the new arrangements we've heard so far are medleys. Rainbow Road combines various RR themes from throughout the Mariokart series, Mushroom Kingdom U has an SMB1 medley, Wily Castle's music combines the title and first Wily theme from Mega Man 2.

I dunno if I would expect the music to be timed to the changes though. If they're random, like this kind of stage tends to be, it wouldn't really work.

Happy to get more stages. Hope the stage train keeps on rolling.

Feb 13, 2012

I might be remembering wrong, but didn't the Yoshi's Island stage from Brawl have one of the tracks sync with the season changes? Granted, the seasons change in a set order and don't really affect the stage aside from looks, but if it does change in a set order I think it could be done again.

Also, as side note, does anyone know if anyone has recorded reasonably high quality versions of songs from the demos? I might be looking forward to the music even more than the game because of how good it is.

Edit: Actually I decided to look it up and I was right, the Obstacle Course song had two variations that played depending on whether it was Spring/Summer or Fall/Winter, and which season the stage started on was random. Presumably they could do something like that again!

The literal grumpiest



Totally apropos of any other comments; an announcement of Shulk as a playable character would probably make me buy a WiiU instantly, before any other next-gen console.


As it stands I will only almost definitely buy it before any others, because of Lucina.

I mean, the game is out in Japan in September right? So how many more newcomer videos can they even squeeze in before release? One or two? There'll probably be a Nintendo Direct in August so I would expect a newcomer video there.

But I just can't imagine they have many more newcomers to announce. More than one maybe but the odds for Shulk or Chorus Men or Ridley or whoever has got to be dwindling at this point. Too many fake leak characters and not a ton of time before release.

Crawfish
Dec 11, 2012



I'd honestly be surprised if Shulk isn't in.

The game may not of sold the most amazingly, but it got a hell of a cult following in the west after all of the Operation Rainfall stuff, and with a new game from the same dudes out next year some time, having Shulk in would be some decent free advertising.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
I had to go back and check the stage listing in the OP, because I thought, surely, this can't be right. But sure enough, this is the best stage yet on either version.

I hope the character are 2D like in the Game and Watch stages.

EDIT: The Super Paper Mario segment had better either be the hamster wheel or Chapter Six.

In the Miiverse post announcing the Robin/Lucina trailer Sakurai said that they were nearing the bottom of the newcomer videos, so we definitely have at least one newcomer left, but personally I'm betting on there being two more. The wording seems a bit odd to me if there is only one left, but we'll see.

At this point though, with how many characters have been revealed so far, I wouldn't be surprised if we got "Veteran Wednesday" or something like that where they reveal a veteran once a week until release. There can't be much more than about 10 characters left to show off, plus Sakurai's started to reveal new stages pretty frequently this last week. Seems like it'd be weird to leave so few characters unannounced at this point.

One in the Direct and maybe one final one right before the games launch?

You have to factor in secret newcomers as well, who won't get a trailer or a proper announcement, like ROB for Brawl or Game and Watch for Melee.

If there's a Rhythm Heaven character, there's a good chance he'd be a secret character, considering this would be an out there choice not from a particularly popular series.
