Funny thing is I called him and wrote about how I thought he was gone for sure in the same post.

In any case, I wouldn't mind being avatar buddies with anyone, and I don't think it's bannable or half this board would have been gone during the Coolio bandwagon.

He worked out alongside Wii Fit Trainer, her goal is to make everyone as strong as possible, so her victory will be that much sweeter

Deliciously diabolical.

Brawl's locked characters for reference

Ness, Marth, Luigi, Ganondorf, Toon Link, Rob, Falco, Wolf, Captain Falcon, Lucario, Jigglypuff, Mr G&W, Sonic*, Snake*

*Characters officially revealed before launch

Love the roster. Though I disagree with you slightly about E3 stuff.

I expect 2 newcomers at e3 with 3 veterans.

Opening with 1 newcomer, then the veterans, then a final newcomer.

My evidence is as such:

Great pattern find, however, sakurai says 'feh' to patterns. Looking for patterns in the new smash always bites you in the ass.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I noticed that, other than the "newcomer", the people in the CGI trailer are always someone from the original 12.

 

[Beelzebufo]

All but R.O.B., yes.

Hmm, I guess it would be a somewhat similar pattern then if Ryse's pattern holds. Chorus Men would end up being the WTF choice because they're obscure characters from an already obscure series.

Olimar?

[DaBoss]

So, when you guys are choosing a character to get good with, do you worry more about play-style, or whether or not you like the character and the games they come from?

I do both. I don't want to limit myself to just characters I like, that would be dull. And playing as a character that plays good may make me like the character even more.

[ShockingAlberto]

So probably nothing until E3.

Far, far, far from it, especially in Japan.

Rhythm Heaven DS sold more than 1.5 million in Japan alone IIRC. Dunno about GBA and Wii game sales though.

You should let Hero know that, and it worked out in the end when Neorice made this one as well

It's still pretty obscure, especially since I was comparing it to something like WiiFit.

When I first boot up a fighting game I play once with everyone in order to get a feel for every character. From that I get an early feel for which characters I like and which I don't then I play a few matches with the characters I liked to get a better feel for them, eventually whittling it down to my mains.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

So probably nothing until E3.

Makes sense considering its in a couple weeks.

 

[georly]

I noticed that, other than the "newcomer", the people in the CGI trailer are always someone from the original 8.

Strictly CG portions:

• Rosalina had mario kart, prominently featuring Mario, DK, and Kirby, but also Luigi (and peach and bowser, starters in melee)
• Little mac had Samus
• Greninja had Link, Mario, Kirby, Samus, Pikachu (and olimar/Charizard, starters in brawl)
• Villager (strictly CG portions w/ villager) had Mario (and Bowser, starter in melee)
• Mega Man had Kirby, Mario, Link, and DK
• Wii Fit had Mario, Kirby, and Link.

Starting 8:
Mario was in 5/6
Kirby was in 4/6
Link was in 3/6
Samus was in 2/6
DK was in 2/6
Pikachu was in 1/6
Yoshi was in 0/6
Fox was in 0/6

Secret:
Luigi was in 1/6

Since Yoshi/Fox are under represented, maybe they'll be in the E3 CG trailer for the newcomer. Anyone want to make up a trailer idea?

 

[DaBoss]

Bowser attacking Mario wasn't CG.

Can I have the avatar if decide to change it haha. After toon link and Lucario were announced I had confidence Ike would return.

 

[Troubled Bat]

At this point I feel like I won't ever join you avatar folks. D:

So, when you guys are choosing a character to get good with, do you worry more about play-style, or whether or not you like the character and the games they come from?

First, I choose my favorite characters, or by how this character looks. Then i'll go with how they play, if I enjoy it.. I stick with it.

But then I have the moments where i'm so interested in character because of how they are, what they can do, or because I saw great play from another player, that I dedicate my time with that specific character.

 

[georly]

Bowser attacking Mario wasn't CG.

The part where villager catches mario in a net is, so I guess not bowser.

 

[OmegaSmash]

So probably nothing until E3.

Pretty obvious. Ike was the obligatory vet of the month (march not withstanding), and E3 is almost 2 weeks away. I do wonder if they'll show someone for MK8's release though. I'm hoping for Wario personally since he's the last missing Mario spinoff character.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Awh, thanks!

I can't think of anything with Star Fox though... any ideas anyone?

 

[Karsticles]

Have him pop out of a Pokeball.

Samus is found in the middle of fierce battle against multiple Space Pirates. We watch her be a badass for a bit until there are no more Pirates left. Suddenly, we hear a roar from behind her. She turns around quickly and aims her arm cannon towards the sound. The shadow of a giant dragon like creature flickers on the wall and seems to be moving closer to her. She stands her ground, ready to shoot as soon as she sees the beast. It moves closer, closer, until out of the shadows appears...

Yoshi. He makes an adorable sound. Samus lowers her gun. We cut to close up shot of Yoshi. His happy face goes into one of terror when we hear a heavy breathing behind him. We pull out and reveal Ridley behind him.

RIDLEY SOARS INTO BATTLE!

Cue Ridley's battle theme. Yoshi runs away terrified. Samus charges a shot and fires at him. We then cut to a gameplay montage of him.

After credits scene shows Yoshi running through a door. Ridley attempts to follow him, but can't fit through the door. He pounds his fist against the ground in rage.

 

[Anth0ny]

If we don't get Wario before E3, I'm hoping for Falco, MK and Captain Falcon at E3, along with Pac Man and Mii.

Monita from Nintendoland or a Nintendoland Plaza stage. Please Sakurai I want Monita .

Clean:

They should just reveal Jaffar next.

I'd be good with that.

lol

She'd be a fantastic assist trophy. I'd love a nintendoland stage, but more importantly, I want one of the best nintendo songs in recent memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y96cw701nG0

E3 CG Cutscene:

Marth and Ike are fighting back to back on a battlefield. A shrill roar pierces the air. The soldiers they're fighting begin to flee as a dragon shaped shadow flies in above them. The camera cuts to a very familiar looking space dragon's face. Ike and Marth prepare for battle, but before they can attack, the dragon falls to the ground.

A mysterious warrior pulls his sword out of the fallen Ridley and the newcomer splash shows up: "Chrom Awakens on the Battlefield!"

Ahh yes that plaza music so good. A darn shame Nintendoland didn't take off since its so much fun to play. That Animal Crossing Sweet Dreams is the best game ever. Monita needs to be in SSB4.

I still play nintendo land every time I show off the Wii U to someone who hasn't played it. Mario chase is the easiest for people to figure out, and if they get good enough, the animal crossing one has the most depth by far.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Well, of course, but i'm talking about the ones that I listed for myself. Which are the only characters i'll take. >.<

Has anyone bothered to hypothesize what the ridley stage boss will actually do? Clearly, he'll attack people, but what's the benefit to defeating him, other than having the attacks stop?

 

[Axass]

I called Paper Mario, I share your pain. It's never gonna happen.

Which character did you call?

 

[Troubled Bat]

I can't wait to see both Ganondorf and Captain Falcon, along with Shulk at E3.

 

[RiggyRob]

Ike seems a little bulkier than I prefer from my animu characters, but he's still one of the raddest looking FE characters and this design does little to change that.

They should just reveal Jaffar next. Get it over with and include the coolest FE badass.



I mean, he's about as timely as Ike is, so why not?

Jaffar's great but you'd have trouble justifying against some of the more prominent FE characters.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I called Paper Mario, I share your pain. It's never gonna happen.

Medusa, Sami, Kumatora or Bowser Jr.

They're all not likely.. lol.
