Before we reach levels of hype and insanity in a couple of hours, how about we discuss the touch screen and what could be put on there. I'm sure the HP percentage can be toggled on/off between the two screens since looking back and forth between screens could prove lethal in some meta-games.

For sure they'll put the time counter on there. Maybe a zoomed out stage portrait with colored markers showing where everyone is. For sure character portraits. Camera controls when you pause. Maybe a Pokeball, Assist Trophy, or other Item pop up showing an information blurb when you pick it up telling you how each item works. Would a move list be really necessary? Oh yeah... Taunts!

 

[Fiktion]

If the screen is real, the 3ds version sure is looking good

That's nothing we didn't know already.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I feel like something substantial is coming tonight. I FEEL IT!

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

A horn.

[ffdgh]

Wait what are we hyping for tonight?

Well on 3DS, I definitely expect 100% of the HUD elements to go down there. No need to be cluttering up an already small screen. The GamePad screen is harder to predict. I don't think the HUD will go there as it wouldn't make any sense for multiplayer games, which is SSB's bread and butter. Might do absolutely nothing during matches, but I expect it will be used extensively in extra modes like the trophy collection and stage editor. Maybe there will be a "5th player" mode where whoever has the GamePad will be able to affect the game in some manner, like by dropping items.

For the 3DS's bottom screen, it'll be a visual of the crowd that's been cheering for you since 1999.

Fluidity's Drop reveal ???? =O

car mini game operated by coins to capture trophies confirmed!

Including every possible control option is pretty much a Sakurai staple at this point.

How about the 3DS as a controller? I really want that, especially since I don't have a Wii U, and wouldn't want to have to relearn the controls when playing on a console. It makes too much sense, really, but I think I read previously that it's unlikely.

I don't think a 3DS -> WiiU connection would have good enough latency for that. But I dunno.

Haha that would be pretty amazing. Actually they might as well put that on the GamePad too.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

40% chance Palutena is today.

It'll be where the new play by play announcer feature will be.

 

[Riki]

100% people will be upset.

 

[Wishmaster92]

100% people will be upset.

99% "Please be excited's"

 

[SkullHydra]

99% "Please be excited's"

1% "Please understand's."

That's actually a pretty fun idea, especially if they filled it with NPC's or enemies from all the different franchises.

 

[J-Tier]

Don't expect a newcomer...newcomers have all been in videos so far.

 

[-Horizon-]

1% "Please understand's."

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

As long as there is another Uprising theme to troll, we should be happy.

 

[Axiology]

Hmm, that Mario's got me firm in #TeamSwitzerland
We'll see where the shrapnel lands.

Also, I completely missed that warning about the waifus. It's not my type of joke anyway, but I still coulda been the one to catch that bullet o_o"

Spoiler

Then I wouldn't be around for when Sakurai reveals the stage where you fight on Ridley's back tomorrow

 

[-Horizon-]

I wouldn't mind seeing more of the stage and how Viridi affects the players.

Spoiler

that just further confirms Palutena!

 

[georly]

Yeah, I don't know why anyone is expecting it. It'll be in a nintendo direct, and nowhere else.

 

[oreomunsta]

This week has been pretty good for Smash, in pics at least! SmashGAF has been a totally different story lol. Tonight's disappointing pic won't be too disappointing considering we actually got gameplay information this week =)

 

[Loco4Coco]

So Captain Falcon it is then.

 

[-Horizon-]

So Captain Falcon it is then.

Who?

 

[Nintendoga]

Who?

The Bounty Hunter, you know? From Metroid?

 

[J@hranimo]

The Bounty Hunter, you know? From Metroid?

So Samus is a guy! I've been lied to all these years!

 

[Red Arremer]

 

[Drago]

I bet that we'll get a new picture tonight. Feeling pretty good about it, myself.

 

[J-Tier]

So Samus is a guy! I've been lied to all these years!

Who? Oh, you must be talking about the Metroid guy. Now he's cool. I call him the orange Halo, though Halo is a bit cooler because of his green armor.

 

[PikaED]

So Samus is a guy! I've been lied to all these years!

It's the heels man, we've all been fooled.

 

[Loco4Coco]

That pic is kinda dark..

 

[User 73706]

Don't you have to give your Eevee type-5 diabetes with pokemon-amie cupcakes before it can even get Sylveon eligible as an evolution option?

 

[J-Tier]

That pic is kinda dark..

Indeed.

 

[BlackJace]

damn what the hell

shits dark

 

[Dice]

Whoever drew that has some issues to work out.

Seems like the perfect time to announce a Hades assist trophy.

 

[Red Arremer]

Well since there's part 2:

 

[Village]

[ShockingAlberto]

Uh what's this depressing-ass pokemon fanart doing here

Here, let's fix this

Somber SmashGaf.

Edit: I guess that's better.

 

[Drago]

No more angry fan art

 

[-Horizon-]

The Bounty Hunter, you know? From Metroid?

Halo is finally repping in Smash

This is messed up in so many ways

I bet that we'll get a new picture tonight. Feeling pretty good about it, myself.

Living life on the edge.

 

[User 73706]

Tonight's picture will be a 3DS shot of Palutena, Hades and Medusa, all of which will have no outlines right next to Pit, who also has no outlines. The caption:

"You can enable, disable, and even change intensity of the outlines prevalent on 3DS fighters in the Options menu."

 

[JazzmanZ]

Oh so this is a pokemon thread now.

 

[ffdgh]

This makes me feel bad...I know what my next Masuda mon will be.

 

[Red Arremer]

Oh so this is a pokemon thread now.

When isn't it? <_<
