Could anyone with access to the game set up an 8-Bowser match on small Battlefield? Preferably with at least 1 human? Yes, I'm aware it would be ridiculous. And hilarious.

I have to know why you would leave a woman that goes around recommending Chrono Trigger to people.

Who says Masked Man did the leaving?

The cause of the "great ledge migration" seems to be due to one of the Falcons trying to recover from the ledge, then everyone and their uncle tried to stop him, but because everyone is each other's enemies, they kept wailing as they fall.
It definitely does scroll in Smash, you sure you've played it enough?

Oh man, if Crono got in as playable character. Best thing about it is that we are getting 3D Model of all characters for trophies!
CPU's pretty much 100% footstool jump when they're on top of an enemy, so when one jumped down, the others followed, and the footstool jumps just killed everyone, since you fall for a set bit before you can use your recovery when footstooled, and Falcon's recovery isn't very good.

I like to presume generously until told otherwise.
Who says it was a woman? You assume too much.

Have you tried jumping as Bowser as soon as you hit the blast zone?

Mario Kart 8 has got me thinking about Smash Bros. DLC again. What does everyones updated wish list look like? Heres my top five after Mewtwo (no Assist Trophies, Poké Balls, or stage hazards):
Any single one of those would make me happy.
Out of those five. Would like Splatoon Inkling the most.
Seems the most original but still with enough moves to make a move set.
Would also be good to promote a new IP.
Dixie would be good too.
Chorus kids... Don't know what they would do. Wolf and Lucas.... okay but they don't have to return for me.
The perfect follow-up to a 8-Player Level 9 Captain Falcon match is an 8-Player Level 1 Jigglypuff match.
I found this one funnier, to be honest. Dat sudden death.

I'm hosting a huge get together with all my friends where we'll be playing Pokemon ORAS and Smash Bros. with beverages and snacks. This will probably be the biggest gaming shindig I've ever experienced.
Not expecting any of my fellow SmashGaffers to be nearby, but it you happen to be in my area you are most certainly invited.
Yup, i'll be throwing 2 parties. One for when I hopefully get the game early, the other one on actual release with 8 player smashhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Here! I took the difficult decision to skip the 3DS version (too many life/money issues atm) so the hype is stronger here. We're going me and my cousin next friday to pick the game (bundle version yay), and stay the entire afternoon and even past midnight playing the damn thing. I need to practice a little in Brawl though. I haven't played Smash in a while!
I'm planning a party once I unlock everyone. My current group of friends haven't played Smash Bros. before -- they're portable and PlayStation people -- so I'm hoping to have some over beforehand to show them the ropes. Easy to learn, but deep to master.
I think Wario will be a good character to showcase, since all of his specials (and movements in general) are so distinct and memorable. I expect some laughs when I whip out the motorcycle or rocket into space with a fart.
I'm looking forward to seeing them discover the game. It'll be a way to vicariously relive the joy I experienced back in middle school, trying a Falcon Punch or spamming Thunder.

cat ran away. i've been going full on rambo on the weekends looking for her. donno if i will find her in time for smash. due to scheduling and time zones i'll be able to play ORAS, though.

Same here, hopefully it just takes a week to unlock everyone, then I will invite my friends over.
Oh man, I'm a huge animal lover. I hope you find her. :-(
My cats have always been indoors, but in general cats usually don't wander farther than five houses from where they live. So check your neighborhood first and foremost, but also make a point to visit every shelter and rescue in the area on a daily basis.
Is the cat microchipped, by any chance?
Nah, not excited at all tbh. It's just yet another Smash Bros game, I don't think anyone really gives a shit.
i will be playing smash u nonstop the weekend of release
Ash knows everything but said something like "I hate you guys so I'm not going to tell you all the amazing secrets I know." He then flipped a table and spilled drinks everywhere before giving us the middle finger and storming out the front door. He kicked over a lawn flamingo, as well.
Or maybe it was something about embargoes. Hmm.
Honestly, I don't anticipate any amazing surprises beyond what we know. I suspect that there aren't many unlockable stages beyond Pac-Land, Kongo Jungle 64, Duck Hunt, Smashville, Pokemon Stadium 2, Flat Zone 2, etc.
Wow, things really start popping off toward the end there.
I don't see what's amusing about this video. This is how I play Smash every day.

Hmmm... I've not thrown a game launch party since Super Street Fighter 4. My living space isn't as ridiculously huge as it was back then but I should probably invite a whole bunch of people over and see if we can get an 8 player going XD
Oh my! I hope you find her. I know how worrying it is when cats go AWOL :s
Good luck! I hope it goes well :3I'm planning a party once I unlock everyone. My current group of friends haven't played Smash Bros. before -- they're portable and PlayStation people -- so I'm hoping to have some over beforehand to show them the ropes. Easy to learn, but deep to master.

Games Journalists plus a few key people from the smash community (aka event organisers) have been given copies early but they're bound by an embargo so they can't show/tell us about everything

Hatchtag, good luck with finding your cat.
Just set your expectation with those 6 stages being unlockable then you would be okay.

What if the patch that adds online also acts as a trojan horse to unlock the juiciest secrets so that even embargo'ed people have a pleasant surprise at release?
...but in terms of incredible secrets?

Apparently the overworld theme from Golden Sun Dark Dawn is a unlockable music track for the Palutena's Temple stage.

So yay Golden Sun.

So yay Golden Sun.
She is not. She's an indoor cat, though we occasionally let her on the porch, which is how she got out. I've seen her literally right outside the door to my house, but she's sanic fast. The neighborhood's really aware of it, and we've gotten several calls from people spotting her. Planning on placing some humane traps this weekend, because I don't think we'll be able to get her otherwise. She's just too fast and there's no way to corner her.
Thanks! It seems like someone new spots her every other day, so I'm fairly certain she's safe. It's just a matter of getting her to come home at this point.
So what you're saying is, don't expect an eight-player Crocodile Isle stage that travels from Gangplank Galleon to Crocodile Cauldron to Krem Quay to Krazy Kremland to Gloomy Gulchy to K. Rool's Keep to the Flying Kroc and then to the Lost World before looping again, with each stage being the size of Palutena's Temple and featuring the entire DKC2 OST rearranged by Wise himself with the backing of a full orchestra?
Fair game. Who knows, maybe there's some weird requirement like playing the Wii U version for 4000 hours that unlocks the secret Moonside and Venus Lighthouse levels that I don't know about.
Whoa buddy, you're getting way too close to the embargoed fact that David Wise himself is an unlockable chara- oh shit, I've said too much.
THE WRONG SON DIED
I mean, yay
EDIT: goddammit Lunar, antagonizing me with the suggestion of a Moonside stage
My indoor cats were really timid the few times they were out there (under our close supervision), so I'd doubt your cat has gone far. She's probably just jumping when you approach because she's already frazzled by the stimulus overload that is outside. Humane traps would probably be a good idea.
Meanwhile, look at how much love Custom Robo's been getting:
Honestly starting to feel that Isaac will be DLC. Would explain him losing Assist and Trophy statuses; they wouldn't want to have him be an Assist if he'd later be DLC, and they wouldn't want to show off an updated model as to give it away. Though they could just use Brawl's trophy, but eh. I donno.

Ah! That's comforting. General rule of cats is never to approach but let them come to you :3
We used to call ours in by shaking a box of cat biscuits
Can you imagine how quickly they'd release a balance patch to nerf Dave Wise?
Kotaku: "SAX TOO STRONG, SAKURAI RESPONDS WITH PATCH"
The Moonside suggestion hurts.
Hopefully that's just mentioned to throw us off the trail. We're onto your game, Lunar.
I just went through Moonside for the first time last night though. Definitely a high point of Earthbound so far. Another highlight:
getting teleport and seeing Ness run really fast like he does in the Melee intro

maybe it appears only on a timed game? I never turn on time even on stock

Wario is pretty much the most standout character in the whole series. It was especially true in Brawl where everything was gritty except for him, and somehow it's still true in Smash 4.
He just leaves an impression on you.

This is AMAZING. :lol
She hasn't gone too far, I think the farthest she was spotted was about 3 blocks away. Annoying, there's a creek with a lot of shrubbery and trees around it, so that's an incredibly good place for her to be hiding, and I'm certain she is hiding there.

Yeah, she's ran away every time we've tried to catch her. At the same time, I donno how well letting her come to me is going to go. If I see her she generally gets startled by the noise of me coming outside and wants to run anyways. So it's definitely difficult catching her.
Somewhat humorously, I saw a cat in the dark that I tried to catch that ended up not being her, and that cat begged me to pet it. Cats are so friendly when they're not trying to hide outside.
Thanks Heath.

Oh my god looooool
Id typically be against representing a brand new IP in Smash Bros. before the IP has had time to prove itself, but Splatoon is one of those rare special cases in that EAD properties tend to live on in some capacity for a long time. I really do feel like Splatoon will be woven into the fabric of Nintendos identity over the next few years regardless of how well it sells (be it a sequel or cameos in other games), and that alone will warrant Inklings presence in Smash Bros.
I always think back to the original Pikmin in 2001 even then I had a gut feeling that Nintendo would continue supporting it regardless of how it fared at retailers. Miyamoto came up with the concept and EAD developed it; that sort of pedigree is typically perfect Smash Bros. material. If Olimar was included in Melee I dont think anyone would have complained about it feeling too promotional.
