I didn't watch the stream but this sounds like a really good way to keep things chill and a good compromise between E-SPORTS and the rest of us.

Honestly that alone is probably the smartest thing they could've done for online play. Don't get me wrong, people are still going to cry for years and years about how Melee is better but I feel we've grown to tune those voices out.

Have we actually seen Ridley yet? Besides his shadow in the direct

No, Sakurai knows how much people want him and he's just screwing with us. I kinda love it because I'm fine with Ridley just being a big guy who sets people on fire in the Metroid stage.

I'd love Simon Belmont, but he's pretty unlikely since it seems like they've gone out of their way to get rid of up+B's that involve chains like Olimar's Pikmin chain and I can't think of any other way that they'd do his up+B.

Well that's surprising, I was under the impression Metroid was a pretty bad seller despite all the praise it gets.
Is there a site where I can get specific/estimated sales figures at? I'd like to do a little digging and compare between games.

vs
http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=Mega+Man

Mega Man has more overall but then again it also has something like 10 times Metroid's numbers.

On the other hand we haven't seen anything related to Xenoblade

They can throw Ice Climbers stuff in there and people can make their own assumptions since Ice Climbers have been in Smash before. They pretty much can't reveal anything Xenoblade related since it'd be an awful choice publicity wise. Revealing Bionis Leg or Prison Island before announcing Shulk pretty much announces Shulk without actually announcing him. That being said, they've already revealed Ferox Arena and a Tiki trophy and we still haven't seen anything involving Chrom, but that probably falls into the same camp as Ice Climbers, it's something a majority of fans have already assumed.

Quest For Glory II posted:

A stage designed for a 5th player to use the Gamepad solely to dick around and troll the players. Just a playground full of traps the Gamepad user can click on.

This is actually what I'm counting on with the Wii U gamepad. This or some kind of 4 on 1 battle mode where the 1 has a hilarious advantage. The Duck Hunt stage Spacebump mentioned would be a prime candidate for this kind of treatment.

Mother is popular, but I don't think it's anywhere near Monster Hunter's level.

Going to agree with this, Monster Hunter is in the same league as Animal Crossing and Pokemon over there, hell, the primary reason people bought a PSP in Japan was for the MH Portable games and Portable 3rd sold something like 4.5 million copies in the first 6 months of its launch.

Where did the idea for Ridley not being too big for the game come from anyways? I mean he's always been portrayed as a huge goddamn space dragon except for on the NES Metroid because I'm pretty sure the NES would melt if it had to deal with anything that huge moving that fast.

Well, yeah, but I know Nintendo isn't going to add the characters I want from those games. Hell, Goku is actually probably more likely then anyone from FE:A other then Chrom and maybe Lucina.

That said, I'd totally play a Super Emblem Bros. game.

If Lucina got in, she'd probably be like Wireframe Little Mac, a special alt costume for Marth since that's what she spends the first third of the game disguised as.
As for Super Emblem Bros, we still have Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem on the horizon! :getin:

Tried my hand at a "dream roster". Top is playable, bottom is Assists.



Giygas would be hilarious as an assist trophy. It'd be like Andross, he falls into the background and a text box says "YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND THE FORM OF GIYGAS' ASSIST TROPHY" then the stage explodes.

Oct 28, 2011



Actually, the next EarthBound assist trophy should totally be a Starman. He just stands there and shoots lasers or fireballs, but there's a 1/128 chance he'll be a Starman Super instead, in which case he just throws a Sword of Kings at someone and disappears.

Bicyclops posted:

I've never played Xenoblade, but if Shulk were in, I would think he'd be more likely to replace Ike's moveset, looking at him.

It'd probably be something like that, yeah. In game he's somewhere around the middle of your party speed wise, but the big thing about him is he's still getting used to using the Monado, so yeah, that'd translate to a slightly slower and stronger attack style. It'd be hard to guess what his final smash would be though, since he has a few really strong Monado based attacks, none of them really stand out as an "Oh poo poo!"

I really doubt they'd go to the trouble of including a semi-third party character just to give him a copy/pasted moveset.

Actually Monolith Soft became a first party company shortly after Xenosaga III came out in 06.

SatansBestBuddy posted:

Agreed. Xenoblade is a drat good RPG but it's soundtrack is even better than that implies. Have some more, all of which would work really well for a Smash Bros fight.

I'd be super happy if they had the Bionis Leg as a stage with almost any of the music you guys have listed, except for You Will Know Our Names. I think if they did something where a stage boss like the Yellow Devil showed up then the music randomly cuts into that track like in the game itself where the battle music will change the second a unique or super powerful enemy joins the fight.

I'm no Megaman expert, but how about a stage with those disappearing platforms that require perfect predictive aim and timing, I think I'm thinking of a Heat Man stage?

Heat Man or Ice Man. Ice Man was slightly easier because you weren't over bottomless pits the whole time. At the same time you didn't have a jet.

People only give Golden Sun the time of day because it was one of the few JRPGs on the GBA.

It was the first big JRPG on the GBA and I remember thinking that the scope was pretty impressive at the time since I never played a game that ended on a cliffhanger like that before. Personally I kinda want Isaac because he'd be a fun hybrid sword dude, partially swinging a sword around and partially throwing earth magic and Djinns at people. That and throwing a giant sword at people for a Final Smash would be hilarious.

Lucina is voiced by Laura Bailey and Chrom is voiced by Dime Store Troy Baker, I think it's clear which one should be in Smash.

I'm pretty sure Chrom was voiced by Matthew Mercer, who's actually pretty drat good. Not that Troy Baker isn't, but Mercer's nowhere near as prolific in games as Baker is.

Using Deviantart is unfair; some of the people there are barely sane and horny on a level that defies description. There's probably several hundred entries on the forbidden love between Mario's left shoe and a koopa's shell. Almost half of those would be fat fetish variants.

There is pretty much no way for Nintendo to get a positive reaction out of this. It's a fantastic idea and I love it but they're either going to have Brawl and catch poo poo for not having Melee, have Melee and catch poo poo for having a 12-13 year old game at an E3 thing, or have Smash 4 and catch poo poo for nobody knowing what's good for the first few rounds.
