Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!

Maturity, bitches.
It will be five seconds of a new Mario Kart based stage and then we'll hear nothing else about it for months.

I'm laughing at the thought of anyone hoping for a Smash Bros. trailer or anything that gives us extensive footage.

Why would that be surprising? We got a trailer more than a year before the game was released that had much more content than the one Sakurai released at E3.

I'm not saying that'll happen, but it certainly wouldn't be something without precedent.

Mostly because this upcoming direct is going to focus on current games and upcoming games throughout Spring 2014. Seeing as how Sakurai confirmed the wait would be longer, I don't think Nintendo will spend too much time on Smash when a simple tease (30 seconds of footage that dances around a newly announced character) would suffice. I believe their focus is to bring in consumers now, and they need to spend their time wisely, hence more of a focus on nearer titles and features.

That said, I can very easily be wrong. I just wouldn't expect more than very little, where Smash is concerned.

"Pic of the day. N-now wait a second, let's talk this through! We don't wanna miss today's Nintendo Direct, right?"

(It's happening!!)

No Olimar. Hahaha, I'm glad that he mentioned Direct because some people would be in denial since we didn't get Olimar in the screenshot. :p

I feel like we're gonna get a newcomer today, I would be fine with a vet but it kinda feels like a newcomer is in the air.

Smash is secondary in this Direct unless it's a cool character reveal, but it won't be. The real shining star is going to be the 3DS.

Nobody even knows what 2014 holds for that bloody thing.

You guys are lowering my hope.

Please, stop. :(

Alright, we will get a trailer of newcomers, just like we did for Super Smash Bros Brawl. Where we would get mini-story trailer that would show the 6 newcomers (including first three newcomers that got announced in E3)
 
Since it's Peach and Link in the screen it's fair to assume that we'll get a double princess trailer on the Direct revealing both a newcomer and a veteran in Rosalina and Zelda.

T-minus 2hr:15m.

I realised this airing during my free break. AW YIS. SMASH BROS WILL DISAPPOINT ONCE AGAIN WITH STATIC SCREENS OF RETURNING VETERAN YOSHI.

Toad should be able to use his hat as a boomerang-type dealie and run around screaming blue murder.

...I legitimately can't think of any other more interesting ideas for special moves for Toad. Troll Luigi fans by having his own Poltergust?
 
Toad would have a move set where all of his moves are variations of whimpering, groaning, cowering, ducking while covering his head, and going OH NOOOOO!

I know the cartoon depicted it as a hat, but have the games ever confirmed whether they are just headpieces or that they are actually mushroom headed individuals.

I mean the fact that the spots often reflect their current costume would imply the mushroom top is part of their outfit but it is rather strange to think they convinced a whole nation to sport similar shaped hats.

Oh and there is that gag in All Star's Super Mario Bros where the rescued Toads are all under a giant mushroom top.
 
I always thought they were, in a way, supposed to be turbans.

Maybe this was just paper mario making that seem like the case, since the desert Toads wear turbans instead of mushrooms (or over their mushrooms? I never really says either way)
