This is what I'd want. We don't need all of that Uprising shit though, get that outta here.

I'll admit that having THAT much Uprising content is way too much to ask for, but implying having any of that is shit? Only thing that needs to get out is you.

 

[-Horizon-]

When this trophy popped up, I nearly fell out of my chair. Forgot that evil version existed, and was barely paying attention to the screen at that moment, then suddenly right in my face that turns around. :b

One of the scariest most tense moments in the Smash Direct for sure.

Basically notlikethis.gif

 

[Ryce]

We'll get a Pac-Man trailer during Nintendo's "Digital Event," and maybe another newcomer will be revealed on the show floor like Wii Fit Trainer was last year.

 

[Anth0ny]

How hype would this be?

- NEWCOMER: Palutena -- A hovering staff-and-shield user who fires rays of light, zips around on grind-rails and conjures up Centurions.
- Chaos Kin is the boss hazard for Palutena's Temple on WiiU, possessing players and fleeing when in trouble.
- Lightning Battle is the second Kid Icarus stage on WiiU, with Phosphora and Thanatos stage hazards, and running commentary from the gods.
- Medusa's Castle is the second Kid Icarus stage on 3DS, complementing Palutena's Temple on WiiU. It features the Underworld Gatekeeper as the boss hazard.
- Cragalanche is the boss hazard for the Reset Bomb Forest on 3DS, his weak spot located on his bottom.
- NEWCOMER: Medusa -- Wields a staff and fires magic with petrifying properties. For her Final Smash, her head flies around in monster form.
- Sakurai strongly hints that there may be one more newcomer from Kid Icarus, with clues that all but confirm Hades.
- Assist Trophies are also shown, including Magnus & Gaol, a two-in-one AT where Gaol fires magic from afar and Magnus fights with his club up close.
- Another Assist Trophy is the Eggplant Wizard, who turns players into walking eggplants who can't fight and must run.
- A variant of the above AT is the Tempura Wizard, who turns players into fried shrimp and then chases them down for a OHKO.
- Yet another Assist Trophy is the sun god, Pyrrhon, who flies around the stage torching players while cracking one-liners.

The above is all unveiled in a two-in-one newcomer trailer during Nintendo's E3 Digital Event.

Other newcomers receive their own trailers during the E3 Digital Event:

- Shulk, from Xenoblade
- Ridley, from Metroid
- Pac-Man, from Pac-Man

After the E3 Digital Event, but before the tournament, a sixth newcomer is shown: Mii! You can play as any Mii on your 3DS or WiiU.

A number of veterans are also confirmed:

- Wario
- Ice Climbers
- Captain Falcon
- Ness
- R.O.B.
- Mr. Game & Watch
- Mewtwo
- Snake

All of the above characters are available in the tournament, alongside the characters previously announced. More newcomers and veterans are promised.

that would be fucking nuts

I'm not expecting more than Pac Man, Mii and two veterans, who I'm going to say are Wario and Captain Falcon.

Can't have a Smash tournament without Captain Falcon.

 

[RMS Gigantic]

There's no way they could pull that off with a physical game without it being leaked. The second the release date pops up in a stores database, an employee will post it online.

My original concept involved it being digital first with an ASAP physical release as soon as shipping starts, Wind Waker HD-style, for that very reason.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

Regardless of whether it's a stage or not, I hope we get the Lightning Battle music in the game.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Regardless of whether it's a stage or not, I hope we get the Lightning Battle music in the game.

Pretty sure it was confirmed in direct

Was playing at some point, and it was GLORIOUS
Pittoo's theme is in too

I only need Magnus's in now and the trifecta shall be complete

 

[The12thGripper]

I fucking love Uprising, don't get me wrong. My use of the word 'shit' usually isn't negative per say. It's a bad replacement for stuff because I get annoyed by the word 'stuff' in general. My bad.

 

[Shun]

Regardless of whether it's a stage or not, I hope we get the Lightning Battle music in the game.

Wrong Lightning Music.

Here's some more Lightning Music for Smash

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Wrong Lightning Music.

Thank you for setting things straight.

 

[kirby_fox]

The only characters they can choose for Smash 4 in this tourney are of the original 12.

I'd also find it awesome if they did an HD digital release of Smash 64.

 

[SenorArdilla]

What characters were available for the Brawl demo in Japan?

 

[Neiteio]

This is what I'd want. We don't need all of that Uprising shit though, get that outta here.

Some Jimmies will be rustled with that! lol

MY JIMMIES ARE SO RUSTLED THEIR NAMES ARE NOW RUSSELL

 

[DisconnectD]

I don't know. It will be very tough decision. Pit, Mega Man or Little Mac?

Are we twins? I think I landed on Megaman though. (I mean, come on it's Megaman and I would be stabbing my childhood if I don't IMO)

Just as well: My best mate is totally going Little Mac as a counter ;P

CAN'T FAUWKING WAIT

 

[Berordn]

What characters were available for the Brawl demo in Japan?

Assuming this is the demo, Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Pokemon Trainer, Ike, Dedede, and Bowser .

 

[Neiteio]

Ooo, this tournament means we'll get to see the new Kirby hats. :-O

 

[Berordn]

Ooo, this tournament means we'll get to see the new Kirby hats. :-O

Unless Kirby isn't playable!

 

[Neiteio]

Unless Kirby isn't playable!

:-O

 

[DisconnectD]

For veterans; probably Marth. The Direct footage has seen nice things for Marth, mostly indicating Melee-esque range. With non-cancelable hitstun appearing to make a comeback, I'd want to juggle and use risky edgeguards against opponents like in Melee haha.

If not Marth, then Fox. Fox has been awesome to play in 64, Melee and Brawl, so I can't wait to see how well he plays in Smash 4. The faster the better.

For newcomers, I'd want to play Greninja and Wii Fit Trainer.

Gotta re-astablish that TIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRr, son!

(dat fair>upair>Uptilt/Up smash)


I better be able to uppercut fools off the top with Dancing Blade, dammit

 

[Boss Doggie]

Speaking of kirby hats, I still can't imagine what he'll wear for Villager, Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Speaking of kirby hats, I still can't imagine what he'll wear for Villager, Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer.

Hair, Hair and boxing gloves, long ponytail.....

 

[Boss Doggie]

but has kirby wore gloves before?

 

[Poyunch]

Speaking of kirby hats, I still can't imagine what he'll wear for Villager, Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer.

Maybe a callback to OG Animal Forest with hat horns. Or reference the numerous hats you can wear in the series. It would be fun if it was somewhat randomized or if it referenced a special hat like the expensive crowns.

 

[DisconnectD]

OMG, LOL. Good on so many levels, damn...

 

[Berordn]

but has kirby wore gloves before?

Um... sorta.

 

[Zalman]

Speaking of kirby hats, I still can't imagine what he'll wear for Villager, Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer.

I actually wonder if they take Kirby into account every time they add a new character or if he's an afterthought.

 

[Blues1990]

Speaking of kirby hats, I still can't imagine what he'll wear for Villager, Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer.

For Little Mac & the Wii Fit Trainer, my guess is Kirby will gain their respective hair styles & skin tones. Mega Man will be pretty obvious, but I'm stumped when it came to the villager.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Mop-top

 

[Boss Doggie]

Um... sorta.

oh yeah, forgot about that one

kirby is a furry

 

[Feltrol]

Where's the hype at tonight?

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

I wonder if Kirby will get Little Mac's meter when he copies him, since that's tied to his B move.

Also I wonder if Kirby will get a different hat depending on if he copies the male or female Wii Fit Trainer. Probably not. Watching Kirby do their B move will be amusing, though.

And finally, I wonder what Rosalina Kirby will do, since her B move is Luma Shot. Surely he won't get his own Luma?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Sun Salutation Kirby would be hilarious

 

[ffdgh]

Sun Salutation Kirby would be hilarious

Plasma kirby will finally have smash representation.

If I recall correctly, Kirby didn't inherit Lucario's Aura mechanic in Brawl.

 

[SkullHydra]

Absorbing Ridley will give Kirby a long skinny neck

and make him grow

OMG, LOL. Good on so many levels, damn...

What inspired you to make these gifs?

Kirby be like

lol, that gif never loses its charm

 

[RagnarokX]

The fervent Ridley discussion that will never die until Ridley is either confirmed or disconfirmed playable.

 

[Hyperactivity]

lol, that gif never loses its charm

No, please
Wish it would die

Spoiler

Especially while Im eating....

 

[SkullHydra]

That gif never had charm. >_>

 

[popyea]

I actually wonder if they take Kirby into account every time they add a new character or if he's an afterthought.

Some might be harder than others, but there would always be a solution. They can do anything they like really, the weirder the better. I'd imagine his villager form would basically turn him into a pink version of the villager's head, with the animal crossing facial features all there.

 

[Loco4Coco]

There's a lewd joke to be made there.

 

[blamite]

Kirby's Villager hat needs to be the horns:

 

[SenorArdilla]

Charm?

EDIT:
Well, shoot. Top post.

 

[Dimitri LH]

OMG, that made me lose my shit xD

 

[Choppasmith]

Wow, somewhat off-topic, but ABC's The Goldberg's just aired an episode dedicated to the Punch Out for the arcade a few episodes after they had an episode about being Zelda on the NES. Nintendo working with the advertising already?

Even weirder is the ads for this episode replaced Punch Out with Pacman. Just found it to be a funny coincidence all around.

 

[Shun]

This would be a cool throw if we got a robot like Sukapon as a character.

I hope they get creative with some moves.
