I saw that he mentioned E3 but I'm not sure if he said video or pictures? Also can anyone translate what he said something about smash and Nov 6. I know it's not release date or anything. I just want to know what he said.

"Video/image/footage" can all translate to the same thing, but it'd be silly for there to be screens and no trailer. This is Smash Bros. Oh, and he said June 11, which is E3, not November 6.
Already?

Less than 5 months actually.

The important news here is that their E3 presentation now can't be worse than the last two years with these two games alone.
I can feel the hype returning to my body.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So this is like waiting for Pokemon XY except with a smaller time frame... and instead of a game it's a trailer.

Anyone think that SMT x Fire Emblem crossover is gonna confirm some FE characters for us?
The teaser trailer shows Marth, Ike, and Roy but also Chrom, though I don't think that might confirm any characters for that game just yet.
Though I think that might have some influence over what'll be in Smash 4.

I suppose January is almost over now.
Not really, because the trailer features every main Fire Emblem character to date. There seems to be an emphasis at the end on Chrom, though.

Not really, in the context it was used in it can mean 1 of 4 things to different degrees.
1- Cosmetic Customization. How things look, alt models or suits.
2- Stats Customization. How strong/ fast/ heavy characters are.
3- Move-set Customization. Stance system or something that gives you a selection of attacks.
4- Any combination of the above.
The way it was used can pretty much rule out it being exclusively 1. What's the point of "Building up your character" on the 3DS and bringing it to the WU if it's purely cosmetic? Plus Nintendo is extremely picky about how their Ips are presented.
Either way, it's best to look at what what the devs have done in the past to see what it might be.
Well, I can't help it if people don't want to read on a forum.
And I doubt my popularity has anything to do with it.
Plus, I brang this up way before my "popularity" dropped. It's always been the most interesting topic to me that gets over looked.

I don't think the idea of customizing a fighter is going to go over well. Competitions are just gonna ban the use of anything but stock characters, anyway (because having a fighter who's much stronger than the others around him due to time being invested in leveling him up would go over swimmingly, naturally), and I can't even fathom how the tier lists are gonna turn out (like, say, top stock tier doesn't level up particularly well, while a mid-tier can level up to consistently beat the top stock tier, when he'd typically be routinely trounced in a stock match).
On the other hand, with regards to the second point there, this would be a giant "screw you" to those behind tier lists, which I often find myself full of contempt over... might be mildly satisfying to see their work be made that much harder. Schadenfreude and all that.
I suppose stances or customizable move lists might work; it's basically the creation of an all-new character without actually creating an all-new character, and would let me, say, swap out FLUDD for the Hurricane Twirl Thing for Mario, which would suit me just fine (since I find the former awkward and the latter useful). Probably limit it to side/up/down-B moves, though; customizing the A attacks might be pushing it a lot, and having a standard B move would make it easier to balance Kirby around the other characters.

Reverse gravity!
*everyone immediately flies up to their deaths*
Yes, I know you meant more like "low/high gravity", but c'mon, that'd be hilarious 
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I guess that one rumor from a few weeks ago is now false...no Caesar in JoJoASB, no Smash Nintendo Direct, and no Debu in Yoshi...
I wonder if they're incorporate the new Yoshi into Smash somehow though.

At best it'll get a stage. The classic EAD Super Mario/Yoshi's Island Yoshi is far more iconic than this (presumably) one-off Good-Feel Yoshi.
Alternate costume!

His Final Smash, the Chaos Dunk, would get him banned from competitive play for sure!
Hopefully as an alt. They'll have to keep the iconic Yoshi, but yarn Yoshi and Kirby alts would be nice.

139 days If you want to know. I didn't meant to know the days since I just saw countdown somewhere in other forum. I'm very glad that next few months would be very busy for me to think about hype, e3, etc during day times.
Same.
i guess toon link will be back
Now give me Toon Zelda/Tetra.
I'd prefer it over Tingle though he would be funny.
i guess toon link will be back
counting on it as well, he's my main in Brawl
what is everyone doing in this thread, anyway? Looks like we won't get any news till E3

Sweet, got my account approved. I posted in the IGN Smash Bros boards pre-Brawl so I thought I'd start in this thread.
People are expecting Takamaru? Even after Nintendoland he doesn't seem interesting enough to make it in as a full character. I'm not completely opposed, but I'd rather see a retro character with more originality.
Ridley and the removed Melee characters are at the top of my wishlist. Everything else is icing.

Apart from using a katana, he throws shuriken, fireballs, and lightning in his game, and he even has an invisibility cloak. He certainly wouldn't play like any of the other sword-based characters in the game.
Something also worth considering is that the retro characters aren't chosen arbitrarily. Mr. Game & Watch represents an entire line of portable devices; the Ice Climbers represent classic games from the original NES; Pit represents the Famicom Disk System; and R.O.B. represents itself as an (historically important) accessory to the NES. With the recent resurrection of Kid Icarus, Takamaru could replace Pit as the FDS representative.
Sup. I'm kinda expecting Takamaru. Like Ryce said, he wouldn't play like any other character with all the options they have to choose from in terms of moves. Imo, it's also hard to believe that we still don't have a playable character who wields a Katana, which can bring a different style of sword play.
I'M FINISHED!
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 heard through the GAFvine that HAL Labs is also co-developing this game. Does anyone have any source confirming this? Also, do we know how big Sora Ltd is?
He seemed receptive to the idea in Brawl interviews, but it obviously wasn't possible back then.
As an aside, here's what I'm thinking Sakurai has in mind regarding Zelda:
- Toon Zelda will be the only new character: she was planned for Brawl, played a major role in Spirit Tracks, and is now reappearing in the HD Wind Waker remake
- Skyward Sword will be repped through a Ghirahim Assist Trophy and Skyloft stage
- Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf's designs will be based on the upcoming Wii U Zelda game

I've heard different people claim that he likes it and that he doesn't believe in it, never seen a source either way.
I've never seen any mention of HAL working on this game, and Sora Ltd. is more or less just Sakurai and like one other dude; it's basically just Sakurai's office.
There's no evidence that HAL is working on this. Sora Ltd. consists only of Sakurai (and maybe his assistant); Project Sora, the studio that developed Uprising, was disbanded shortly after that game's release. I'm sure several of the team members are working on SSB4, though.

I've played Nintendoland and still have no fucking clue who Takamaru is.

Takamaru is the Castle. Ninja's live in it and solve riddles. Nintendoland taught me the facts.
If you don't know who Takamaru is, here's a quick chart I just made in Photoshop to illustrate his relationship to important Nintendo games/characters:
I just want Takamaru in for the sake of completion. I really wonder how iconic he'd have become had Nintendo localized Murasame Castle back in the day. He's easily the most significant retro character to not be playable in Smash Bros.
