The livestream makes a lot more sense now because Ryu is complex for a Smash Bros guy and they will want to explain how he works to more casual players

He swipes a circle around himself with his sword instead of dashing forward across the stage. When he hits someone it's the same effect as Marth's, though.

I'm disappointed about Akira being relegated to a Mii costume but at least his costume is unquestionably superior to the others.

Goddamnit Sakurai, you could do this drat Nintendo Direct earlier. I assume Lucas will be available AFTER the direct. Which starts Monday morning.... at 00:40 in Australia.

I just want to play as Lucas and battle my Amiibo online. Oh and get heaps more DLC characters. Except Roy. He's loving awful.

It's pretty much a three-way-tie between Viridi, Hades, and Medusa when it comes to who would be next in line from KI. I can't choose, they're all good and cool.

Maybe you should be thrown in. I love all three equally.

Also, Hades is wonderfully hammy, so he should be the next DLC character

My greatest fear right now is that Roy and Ryu were not planned to be a big "surprise" launch, and instead Sakurai is going to tell us they launch in August or something.

Yeah I suspect they aren't launching three characters at once, but I admit it would be pretty cool, if they did.

Ryu exclusive only in Japan. Ken is exclusive in the United States only.

I'd even be okay if it was "these guys come out in a couple weeks"...I just don't want a huge delay when the characters are pretty obviously feature-complete.

That said, I don't think they'd put the entire character-data set in in a patch if they weren't planning on launching the characters really really soon.

I hope they do put them out pretty fast, because I've got some buddies who enjoy smash coming over soon and it would be a great thing to surprise them with.

YOU DEFEATED

Discount Viscount posted:

Any opinions, feedback, or help with the math of how to cram this into two hours is greatly appreciated! Just have to get things nailed down to prevent a disaster caused by flying completely by the seat of my pants..

For 25 people in 2 1/2 hours, keep it single elim, best of 3, 2 stock, 6 minutes. I don't think you need to fiddle with damage ratios or time, matches will rarely take the full 6 minutes.

As for stages, I like copying the Apex ruleset for the most part. For the 1st match, each player bans one stage from this list:
Battlefield
Final Destination
Smashville

They then play on whatever is left over.

The winner of the first match bans 2 stages from the following list:
Battlefield
Final Destination
Smashville
Lylat Cruise
Town & City
Castle Siege
Delfino Plaza
Duck Hunt
Halberd

Which leaves the loser of the first match 7 choices. You can trim some of these down if you wish for simplicity (most people hate Lylat, Delfino, Castle Siege, and Duck Hunt).

Finally, I don't allow people to re-pick stages they won on. So if it goes down to game 3 and P1 won on Battlefield and P2 won on Halberd, those stages cannot be selected again for game 3. You can remove this rule if you want to make it simpler for kids to understand.

If some of the people bringing setups don't show, you can try single elim, best of 1, 3 stock, with a smaller list of selectable stages.
Battlefield
Final Destination
Smashville
2-3 more of your choice

Players do Rock / Paper / Scissors to determine who goes first, and they ban stages one a time until 1 is left.

That's all my tips, good luck you goon.

I'm going to guess DLC pack with all three of 'em for both 3DS and Wii U for like $10, to be made available after or even during the presentation.

Hades is the clear choice but he'd be better as a full stage. Running around his giant rear end self with hands occasionally coming out to grab at you while he talks poo poo the whole time. If they were gonna add another they'd probably make it Pyrrhon.
