After he reveals all of te secret characters, I hope we get one of those Ridley troll pics that people say we always get.
Like a close-up of Samus firing a missile on Pyrosphere, and then "Pic of the day. While stages may differ, the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game will ultimately share the same character roster."

Pic of the day. These two are a haunting pair. You can only attack Gastly using items, but the Ghost has a perfect guard and reflects your attacks. When you see a Ghost, make sure you use your grab. If you're playing with Diddy Kong, his Monkey Flip should work, too.
Yellow character alts should be allowed to bust through the shield with regular attacks :V
Yes, controls are customizable in the full game.
Ghost with shield? Find Mii nightmares returning.

Fate worse than death.
Yeah, he does do pretty amusing stuff sometimes. That's the main thing I miss about full Dojo updates; he'd often have some caption or comment in them that made me laugh a little.
But I'm more interested in seeing the Wii U stuff in a few weeks.
All good things must come to an end.
But please, for the love of Sakurai, no more drunk PotD's like below.
No; drunk PotD's are what's gonna keep this thread going!
... But yeah, the hype kind of died. No more dominating Pages 1 & 2, no more 200-pager in 10 days, etc. I'm still hoping this means the Wii U version will be rife with unspoiled secrets, but I am fearing this means there's not too much different. Maybe just a unique mode, maybe explaining stages we've seen a little bit of (We haven't seen the Wii Fit gym in awhile), but that can be covered in an October Direct.

I for one am glad we're going back to the humorous and weird PotDs we used to get back at the beginning, at least for awhile. They were a lot of fun and allowed Sakurai's quirky sense of humor to shine through. It only makes sense, too, as it's not as if there's anything secret or hidden left in Smash 3DS for Sakurai to show in PotDs.
Anyway, I'm not sure why everyone is acting as if this is the end. He's going to do quirky/weird PotDs for awhile, and then once Nintendo's PR hype machine for Smash Wii U kicks in, we'll start getting informational PotDs about new stuff in that version. That's pretty much what I got from what he said, and it's exactly what I (and I thought most of us) expected. I don't know what the rest of you were thinking he'd do with PotDs right after Smash 3DS's release now that the game is out in Japan and everyone knows its secrets... it was unreasonable to think he'd immediately switch right over into revealing Wii U-exclusive content.
The Smash and PotD hype is not over, not by a long shot; it's just taking a different form for awhile, but I expect things to kick back into high gear as we approach the Wii U version's release. Maybe in mid to late October?
Now we just need people to datamine Smash 3DS already so we can ascertain if there are maybe some additional character announcements to look forward to! But even if not, the roster's already near-perfect as it is, so I'm happy either way.

3 weeks is a long time in Internet years, it might as well be over man!
If the Internet years from now to NA release were real years, none of us would live to see it.

Yup. Same for me. I really want to see the Koopalings as well as Duck Hunt in HD.
And everyone's alt colors and costumes!
More than anything else at this point, I'm hoping we get sweet trailers for the two remaining newcomers.

I tried to figure out roster character representation weighting mathematically, in an attempt to explain things like "Why did Star Fox only get two reps?"
... And now nobody will know what the hell I'm talking about.

Red & Blue and their remakes, Heart Gold/Soul Silver and now X/Y.
That's why I said "closest thing Pokemon has to a recurring end boss." In Red/Blue, he was the final boss. In HGSS and XY, he's one of a few optional end game bosses.

I believe he was the end boss on Pokemon stadium as well

Anyone know the person who draws these? Are they known in any community or just a random person online?

with simple math you can see why Ridley wasn't added in.
455547x666+90-1x2910256473=Too Big.

are we using math to understand sakurai logic

What are you talking about, there wasn't any NDS F-ZERO game =(

He started off posting these on GameFAQs IIRC.
If we take the square root of the number of characters on the smash roster and divide it by the samurai quotient we get the estimated roster size of "Sakurai does what he wants."
The valiant effort to obtain a mathematical proof of Sakurai Bias will only end in madness and tragedy.

wtf am I looking at
You could be both, really. Either way, I'm confused, too. I think it's trying to determine the number of characters a series deserves by lifetime sales?
Haha, seriously. Some people seriously overthink these things.

Remakes don't count since remakes. He wasn't the end boss in HGSS and XY.

"Bonus Boss."
There. Now it's correct. Mewtwo is the most recurrent bonus boss in the series even discounting remakes, if you want to be pedantic, which I'm sure you do, because someone said something positive about Mewtwo and I know how that sets your "anti-genwunner" alarm off.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Nah just correcting this idea that Mewtwo is "super special awesome". He was really just an end boss in RBY and its remakes, in HGSS and XY you can catch him earlier if you want to or not.
Also I dunno, Lati@s seems to have similar screen time compared to him.

Anyone find a Ridley trophy yet? Feel like of people had there'd be more pandemonium.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
I wonder how you would feel if Mewtwo got in Smash 4 over Wolf? ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)
Are Gamepads region free?
I'm legit looking for a Japanese, Basic Wii U with no controllers or even cords. Just the fucking box. There are NONE on ebay.
This happened. And even prior to it, Mewtwo was a big deal. He is still till this day one of the most powerful Pokemon in the meta game, and always a late game acquisition. He's special.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Ahh very angry
Pfft, pokemon movies aren't special nowadays.
You know what's special? Charizard X's treatment. Now THAT is how you show a Pokemon who gets special treatment. Not Lucario. Not Mewtwo.
Lots of legendary pokemon are powerful in the metagame so I don't really see much of it

And more recently this
Mewtwo is still relevant and is significant to the history of the franchise as the first super powered Legendary. All version mascots starting with Gen II followed the design it set up.
Mewtwo is the only other Pokemon to get two Megas and it was the first Legendary to get a Mega AND it was the first Mega revealed, Gamefreak clearly thinks Mewtwo is special.

He also came back as one of the main characters in the movie released for X/Y's launch. He's the Pokémon they announced Mega Evolutions with, and he's the only one with two mega evolutions together with Charizard.
He's basically the representative of legendary Pokémon.
Boss Doggie

And guess how GF forgot about Mewtwo when they found their baby Charizard X
That's why I shrug at the movie and double mega argument. So what if those exist? Neither got much presence. I'd argue that even Lucario still got more shilling than Mewtwo got.
It's about which mega sticks through and Zard X, much as I hate it, gets so much more attention among all megas.
What do you mean with the Charizard X stuff?
