Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I feel nintendo might aim for a march 2014 with this game, like brawl, it will possibly have enough done to aim for that and the holiday season might have a unexpected announcement(maybe F-zero or a starfox for wiiU) in 2014 with also doing another marketing push for smash during that time.

wait that's supposed to be Ninja Gaiden Ryu?
What did they do to him!?
This is how Ryu looks:

Explain, what?
That is fair. Zero and ZX are pretty similar to X though.
Real ninja's wear leather
It was rumored he was going to be in that game because he was on the PSASBR website when they accidentally published it early. But he never showed up and the DLC plans for that game are dead.
A am disspoint cat person. I like ninjas , that may have made the game a bit better.
How many people are planning on getting the gamecube controller adapter to play this?
It's time for me to move on. GCN controllers are getting more expensive, might as well start adapting.

Nothing could have made it better.
Ok, maybe changing the horrible scoring system.
And changing half the roster.
When sheik gets a cool leather outfit we will talk
True, im sorry the chick from the god of war clone got in . But the bloody tumb radah couldn't get in.
GC controllers are still only around 15 dollars, new controllers cost 50; it's still a worthwhile purchase if you're interested in Smash brothers.
You can get relatively cheap GCN Classic Controller shells, which function identically to using the adapter along with a legit GCN pad. Of course it's unofficial, so the build quality won't be as good, but on the other hand, it's cheaper (assuming you need to buy a GCN pad) and will probably be more responsive since it's not going through a weird adapter.

fuck it, james bond should be in smash
goldeneye outsold ocarina of time. are you kidding me.
NINTENDO ICON RIGHT THERE
Fun fact - along with Banjo-Kazooie, he was one of the characters they were interested in having in the first game.
What about wavebirds? Those are fairly expensive now right?
I'm still salty that my dog chewed up my silver wavebird a couple years ago.

I'd heard Brawl's delay from 2007 to 2008 was Sega's fault for letting Sonic in the game until very late. Don't know how accurate is that though.
It probably was. Sonic in Smash was rejected by Sega at first but much later changed their minds.
Wavebirds are around 30, not bad, but as discussed a few pages ago you don't want to plug a wavebird into a gc adapter into a wiimote because of the input lag anyway, so just get wired GC controllers.
I gotta say, I agree with Sakurai about not having fighting characters in Smash. And I can't really understand why anyone would want Ryu in there. Just because they think he's cool? Ok, so he's cool, but why does that mean he deserves to be in a Nintendo fighting game that is comprised (mostly) of characters important to Nintendo and its history. Not just general video game history, but specifically Nintendo's.
Sonic makes sense. Back in the day it was always about Sonic games vs. Mario games. Even though the two character never actually appeared in a game together they had a genuine rivalry in the hearts and minds of many gamers. Sonic is important to both video game history and Nintendo history.
Mega Man is similar. Mega Man was a serious icon of the NES to several gamers. He's a very important part of Nintendo's history. In fact, Sakurai said in the Smash 4 developer direct that he wasn't going to just have any character from other companies show up. He said it was very important that Smash Mega Man was the NES version of Mega Man.
Snake? I don't even know why Snake was in Brawl (ok yes, I do know WHY, but I disagree with the reasoning). Sure, Metal Gear games have been on Nintendo systems, but I never felt like they were that important to Nintendo history. Metal Gear was always more important and iconic on Sony platforms.
And Ryu? Ryu was important for Street Fighter. And while that game did appear on Nintendo consoles, it has also appeared on plenty of other consoles, and was honestly mostly important and synonymous with the arcade. There's nothing about Ryu that screams "Important to Nintendo" to me.
I think Smash should stay true to being not just a fighting game, but a celebration of Nintendo and its history. Just throwing in Ryu, or other fighters from Capcom/Namco/whoever else, goes against that.

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 am pretty sure I posted about my Ryu preference earlier in this thread. I am bursting at the seams with popular opinions.
It's an action-puzzle-rhythm-fighter.
that and they were going to use the perfect dark versions of the proximity mines

And it's not true, at least as far as I know.
Those videos are 25% misinformation. James Bond and Banjo were never considered for any of the Smash Bros. games -- Japanese fans voted for them in a roster survey, but that doesn't mean Sakurai was "interested in having them."
That would make sense , because they do not own and have never owned james bond.

What is it about Smash Brothers that brings out all the idealists?

They already put James Bond in Smash. They called him Snake.
If Sonic and Mario can appear in the same game, we as a society can accomplish anything.

mod your shit and put a James Bond skin over him
I just got done playing as James Bond/Franky (OP) Snake vs. my brother's DeDeDe, which is skinned as Bowser wielding a giant axe, and his Ganondorf, which is skinned as Professor fucking Farnsworth
so good
What would "all players" even mean? How did they came up with that nonsense? lol
Anything but get Banjo in the game, he's as impossible as Sonic would have been in the 90's.
cries deeply.

I have no idea, honestly. I'm guessing someone assumed Japanese people say "prayer" instead of "player" (racist!), and that "pra" is shorthand for "prayer." Of course, that's incorrect. Player is written out as "pureya," which would shorten out as "pre," not "pra." "Mai" can mean each or every, but it wouldn't be used in this context. There are dozens of Japanese terms used to say "random," "every character," and so on, but "pra mai" isn't even CLOSE to one of them.

Also, he's the co-star of a strong-selling Nintendo franchise that has largely taken the crown of Mario Party.

What context was this even in? I'm so confused.
Plusle & Minun was cut from Brawl due to time constraints, but there are people who try to deny it by citing a terrible inaccuracy.

As one character? like Ice Climbers? That would have basically been the best thing. So the text string posted above was something found in the game code, I take it? and the nonsensical interpretation thereof was done by somebody on the internet with atrocious secondhand knowledge of Japanese, it looks like.
Yep, that's all correct.
Dixie Kong was going to be a tag character along with Diddy, but after running into technical problems Sakurai had to repurpose Diddy into a standalone fighter, cutting Dixie in the process. Mewtwo, Dr. Mario, Roy, Toon Zelda/Toon Sheik, and Plusle & Minun were all planned as additional characters, but they couldn't be included due to time constraints.
