Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 6: Final Destination confirmed for not fun

man, all of you got baited hard

let's open predictions on who the next character reveal will be
I could see Chrom because it's a very Fire Emblem-y month, or Palutena because Sakurai's had appropriate time to prepare to address the leak and has been hinting her for a little while.

Ice Climbers
Someone will be revealed in April bimonthly direct
 
Next Newcomer is going to be Wonder Red. Calling it right now.

I think Palutena is a secret character and Pac-Man/Mii will be revealed closer to launch, possibly at E3.
 
Ice Climbers as the next Veteran, and Takamaru as the next newcomer reveal. BOOM!

Ice Climbers are the most likely choice for NES Remix 2's possible veteran reveal, although Wario, Meta Knight, and Dr. Mario are all technically possible as well (Wario's Woods, Kirby's Adventure, and Dr. Mario are all in NES Remix 2).

I wish.

I can't believe we didn't get any character reveal this month, I guess the roster is not that big after all :O

At least we got some stage reveals and more 3DS posts than ever

WHOA. Back off. Ice Climbers are mine! I called them first.

Can't see your glorious avatar TB

Good, nobody needs to see the monstrosity that is my avatar.

It's going to be the Ice Climbers, there is no doubt about it.

Too soon to assume that. Besides, We have one last shot at getting a vet on monday.

If we rearly are getting Mii as a playable character then I hope he doesn't have his default body.

I hate those tiny polygony bodies with a passion >_>
Not that I'm thrilled by his inclusion but the trailer may sway me.

What you're saying is that she made sense after she was revealed, which no one is disputing. What we are disputing is that it was a safe bet to predict her. Which it wasn't. You're arguing something completely different.

I think the former bolded constitutes the latter. Hair splits and all that

All I am saying is there probably bunches of people on sites you don't even care about, along with people in the real world who say this coming. And there were bunches of people who it made sense to after the fact, i think when we all think about it considering the why she got in, thats a safe choice . Not trying to be mean , but to be blunt, just because the smash community and large chunks of it , the small small miniscule insignificant part of the entire smash fan base it is , a community that predicts waluigi and King k rool, didn't see it coming. Doesn't mean anything, it means you didn't see the forest for the trees and it went over your heads. It happens to the best of us, the Mavel community and i quote " mad a 100 page fanfiction " about an imaginary patch. Sometimes you so caught up in your own stuff you miss things.

And to be fair

Me and my anecdotal evidence is just as much nothing as your insular insane predictions.

Eh

All I said was considering the factors at hand, a far more level headed person than all of us could predict that list.

Are we really still debating the character leak from before E3? Anyone with an ounce of common sense would know that the leaks were legit and that Mii and Pacman are probably going to be revealed.

I don't mind Mii being in the game, but I loath Pac Man's design. It's so bad. I don't care how good his moveset is, I'll sigh in disgust any time there's a fight where he's chosen.
 

I'M FINISHED!

Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
I have already predicted the entire roster with 110% accuracy. If only the website that I originally posted my predictions on didn't inexplicably vanish from the internet...
 
I don't trust it.

Why would you not leak the entirety of the roster?
Why would you leak the entirety of the roster? At the point where the leak was made, who knows if the roster was definitively even finalized, or the leaker had access to all of it? We literally have no idea of the situation outside of that 4/6 of the characters proposed have proven to be true.

Heck, I would argue that it's possible that the rest of the leak could be false just because a leaker might stick some false info in with true info just to mess with people. I know I would if I was leaking stuff.

With that said, though, Mii and Pac-Man are pretty darn likely anyway, so...

At least it's better than Samus' terribad Other M design. :'s

I knew Mario was in the game days before the E3 reveal! All the doubters ate tons of crow that day.

I think that the Mii has good odds of being next character announced - or at least, fairly soon. I think he (it?) would definitely be a starter, so it makes sense to announce him fairly soon. Pac-Man is a lock for E3, I think, since he's a third party and that'd make bigger waves than "random Nintendo dude" which, lets be honest, most of the remaining roster possibilities are. Might get some other newcomers alongside him but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Yeah, but the only way Isaac isn't going to be in the April direct and Mii instead is if a new Golden Sun is coming out later in the year

This Golden Sun binge I'm currently on is making me too hopeful

I had a vision of assist trophies returning after a particularly strong peyote trip. It seemed ridiculous, but I trusted that the Cosmic Owl was telling the truth.

This also happened before the E3 reveal.

Why would you not leak the entirety of the roster?
We don't exactly know how the leaker knew what the characters were. Maybe he just saw the 6 characters mentioned, and not any others.
Besides, it's not like its some fan rumor that some random guy posted on a forum. A respected journalist got it from a previously used source, and he posted it on Neogaf, not expecting the leak to be true. It would have to be an insanely improbable coincidence for someone to have give a false rumor to a journalist that turns out to be 60% true (so far).
I don't mind Mii being in the game, but I loath Pac Man's design. It's so bad. I don't care how good his moveset is, I'll sigh in disgust any time there's a fight where he's chosen.
If they use an older design, like this, I could get behind his inclusion. But I agree that his newer look is quite hideous.

You can fault Other M for a lot of things, but Samus's power suit design is not one of them. Especially in Smash 4. It's sleek and beautiful.

If it looked EXACTLY like that drawing, I would give it a pass. But it won't. It will look like this:

The only acceptable design for PacMan in Smash would be this:

Just rip him right from the original games like Game and Watch.
