Well, I hope we see some kind of highly unusual new pokemon rep, though I doubt they will follow through on plusle and minun now that gen 3 is so long ago.

I just read about that article where Sakurai is against fighting game characters. While I DO want to see people like Ryu fight it out Smash Bros. style out of sheer curiosity, it made me think about why I liked SSB in the first place. The guilty pleasure you get from seeing your favorite Nintendo characters beat the crap out of each other is one thing, but now that I think about it, maybe it's because of the fact that the actual fighting works so well. A lot of the characters in the series were not designed to be in a fighting game at all, but they somehow translate really well in Smash Bros.
So yeah, Ryu makes a lot of sense to be in the game, and I guess that's why Sakurai don't want him in. That's why the Wii fit girl and the villager got in instead. There's no question that the man wants an element of surprise when it comes to picking characters to be deemed worthy for Smash Bros.

We're probably going to see Gen 3 remakes on 3DS at some point so it'd still work.
Time constraints? They had how many delays for the game? I bet it was all wasted on Subspace Emissary.

Why does everybody in this thread keep making assumptions and passing them off as fact? It's fucking annoying. The only character who was confirmed to be cut from a previous game is King Dedede.

Next update's going to be epic:
The only character? Bowser, Mewtwo, and Dedede were all planned for the first game. (Source)
Diddy and Dixie were going to be a tag character, but they had to cut Dixie. (Source)
"Sadly, we had to trim out many great concepts just to keep within the time contraints. I had a lot more characters, for example.. but sadly I can't discuss which ones didn't make it." (Source)
It's a logical assumption that Mewtwo, Roy, Dr. Mario, Toon Zelda, Toon Sheik, and Plusle & Minun -- the characters whose names appear on the Brawl disc -- were the ones who had to be cut.
Sorry for being "fucking annoying," though!

Still wanna see this suave motherfucker riding around stages on the Groosenator launching bombs at opponents. One of the few things I genuinely love from Skyward Sword.Next update's going to be epic:
Also still pretty weird that the Diddy/Dixie combo was originally a fan idea pitched to Sakurai. While I like both Kongs, pairing them up due to DKC2 made about as much sense as pairing Mario and Luigi due to the M&L games, Fox and Falco due to their games or Sonic and Tails due to Sonic 2 onwards. Glad the idea didn't peter out, though I wouldn't be surprised to see Dixie as a standalone due to TF (for as much as I want K. Rool more).
So what have we been talking about for two months?

Basically posting to reiterate the 3DS freaking rules
You probably are amongst a few others. Brawl's was much more interesting and looked really nice, colorful, and clean.
Melee's is pretty bland and barren in comparison to Brawl.
Going by Sakurai's games post-Melee, that is very unlikely since the menus have had a similar style.

Speaking of Brawl, two of my best friends are moving away this weekend, so a few days ago they called me up and invited me over to play Brawl with them. They had just bought the game that night, and we ended up spending about 6 hours just pounding the crap out of each other while trying to unlock new characters. We ended up unlocking Snake, Ness, Marth, and Luigi before we got too tired and drunk to keep playing.
Not gonna lie. For all the negative things people say about Brawl...when you play it with two people who aren't super-jaded or critical, it's just unbelievably fun. Such a great game.

While I didn't hate it, I agree that Melee's is overall better and easier to navigate. Kid Icarus Uprising had the same type of menu interface as Brawl, but that worked better because of the touch screen.
Hell yeah! *high five*
Yep! Brawl is still a very fun game when you have people around. Definitely a great game on its own.
While I don't hate the interface from Brawl, I like Melee's and even 64's way more. Brawl's interface was kind of too colorful me thinks... but my biggest gripe is the menu sound effects, they're kind of lame lol
As far as games to play while hanging out with some buds go, Brawl is pretty much unmatched, perhaps by anything save Mario Kart. The amount of content and fun to be had in that game is truly staggering.
well I have good news for you...
Me and my bros have made a tradition out of buying pizza, loads of beer and junk food, and play Nintendo multiplayer till we can't no more.
Brawl always gets the lion's share of the playtime.
In fact, I'm the middle of that right now, took a break. Back to kick some ass. Sogood.gif

next reveal is Wonder Pink
Huh. I suppose that's helpful, but I feel in the chaos and fast pace of the battle I'll hardly notice it.
Edit: Wait, I misinterpreted. I thought he meant that the color green would specify the person who would get the KO, or likewise with red. It seems that the characters simply have their own color blast to differentiate them. My bad lol

Ah, that's really neat. I was going to say I didn't understand the caption before the picture was posted. Now I get it.

Should have shown also Mega Man and we would have a good representation of Din, Nayru and Farore
EDIT: What's Sakurai comment on this one?

No, it's from the Megaman stage
The impact-launch effect has been powered up. The assigned color makes it clear which player will get points in the event of a KO.

Also, the focus on primary colors will really make this look godly on HDTVs, huh?
Nah, it looks like the one from the Dr. Wily stage background.
Why would you do that?
Member
For a split second, I was like, "Woah, it's Din and Farore!"
It didn't help that the first character I saw upon closer inspection was Link...

Actually, I think the colors of the blast indicate which player or team it is.
Samus, Link I think.Which character are they supposed to be?
Shame their reusing that star effect a lot.
So if we play, let's say... with red link, ganondorf and samus both will have red and we're back on the basics again ? lol
No it should be based on which player you are.
1P = red, 2P = blue, 3P = yellow, 4P = green.

Players have a fixed color code in Smash Bros.
First player is red, 2nd player blue, 3rd player yellow, 4th player green.
It's always been like this.
These new effects will aid you to keep track of your character when multiple launches will happen, I think.
oooh it's player colour lol.... i thought about character colour. Yeah. great point. Dumb me.
i think this would be confusing (until we get used to it) because if game's too hardcore and we're nervous and we see our character color flying we might think we died and lose track of our movements for some seconds... i can't figure how it would help knowing who gets the kills also... but i honestly think the first option (the color is the color of the player) is very wise.
How many people are planning on getting the gamecube controller adapter to play this?
If Nintendo doesn't make a Gamecube-shaped/Smash-branded Wii U controller for the launch of the new Smash Bros they are missing out on a lot of fucking money.
I'd pay $60 for one without batting an eye because of how much I know i'd use it.
