To the ones saying the 3DS model is different from the leaked one, could you please show me where? Because I'm honestly not seeing it.

Anyway, Tom Shoe lost the bets with three people. I will let someone pick avatar FIRST. I'm going to save my avatar LAST! :)



even I'm Team Neutral but I found whole situation hilarious. That Model is obviously different from what we see right now.

Looks like I'll never be playing any Kid Icarus game with her in it. The bets were for a week, right?

i didn't really grasp exactly how the figurines worked with smash bros. what did they save exactly? just custom move sets or was there more to it than that?

As the figurines fight they get increased stats and you can customize their loadouts. They can fight each other or human players.

They don't seem to be terribly involved.

Level 10 CPU confirmed!

That's an Amiibo, as indicated by the "Fp" icon. They said that they would level up in the RPG sense, with stats and such. So it's not a level 10 in the same way that we had level 9 CPUs before.

Edit - good lord, beaten by a whole page. Slow down, SmashGAF!

I can't handle this influx right now. The character select screens, the box art, I mean, nothing to make a big deal about, but just so pleasant to see.

Palutena and Miis though. Oh my gosh.

They showed other aspects of Pit and Palutena's lives. Not all marketing has to be directly about the game. Food tie-ins for instance.

I'm talking about the stupid fan service. If I thought the game was going to have stuff like that in it, I never would have given it the time of day.

Nintendo sure demonstrated being above fanservice when Metroid 1 ended with Samus in a bikini.
Or when Mach Rider had an ending with a skintight babular rider.
Or when the Ocarina of Time fairies had giant pointy boobs.
Or when the Twilight Princess fairies were topless.
Or when Other M happened.
 
So this:

What do people think? Temporary screen for E3? Permanent one?

How many characters are missing from this screen? Can they all fit? Can Riddles fit?

I don't have it on me, but the E for all demo had them filling up the screen a bit too much, too. They'll be rearranged and shrunk for actual release.

also the face and the little dangly bit on the shield.

Her arm guard and especially the rings around it look very different too, and the staff which is most noticeable with where the top part meets the shaft.

Her hair and dress textures are noticeable too, in the leak her hair looks more flat while the 3ds model has more lines for the hair.

Honesty? Is Nintendo lying and claiming they're not boobs or something?

Back in the Brawl days when they were taking screenshots from the community, Sakurai made a point that he had a zero tolerance policy for sexually suggestive screenshots. There's a Nintendo "standard" that exists for their content, and fanservice isn't what you see very often. But then you get this. It's like Nintendo's trying to have it both ways. They give us ass shots and hot tubs, but then go on to tout their games and their image as though they're above that kind of thing, and any sexual implication we inferred was in our heads.

When people say "honesty about fanservice", they usually mean some kind of transparency about it. Not necessarily drawing a target on Samus's ass and saying "Yes, we meant for this to be enjoyed from a sexual perspective", but... something like that. If you're presenting fanservice, you should have no qualms about it, that's how I feel. And when I see this kind of thing from Nintendo, I have to ask myself, are they having qualms about this? Or are they being upfront?

Now that Captain Toad has its own game...Captain Toad for Smash!

Hopefully in his own game he gets some actual powers, since having a character who's only notable for not being able to jump and moving slowly doesn't make a very good action game contender.

Kinsei, I'm going to be really honest and say that I think you need to calm down. The fan service exhibited in that trailer by Palutena doesn't even reach the level of kitsch necessary for such a reaction. What's more, Palutena by nature has exhibited those tendencies in official material ever since Uprising was a thing. It falls in line with herself and isn't just done because "hey let's sell some shit to these dorks." *insert ass here*

Splatoon Squid Girl for Smash!

I am thinking we'll probably have one more announcement of a character at some point in these next few days.

No lies, I'd be so down for this.

Between Mario Kart 8 and this, it's like Nintendo wants me to lose months of life to their extra features.

Here's what the character selection screen looks like. Fresh off their press site:

It was a reference to Alien, so I'm OK with it.
Never played
They fit the game world
She fit the game world
Everyone hates that game. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.

This is just tits and ass for the sake of it. It's possible to highlight a character without coming off like you're trying to sell me animated porn.

Oho, Game and Watch and a mysterious masked character
Lucina
appear to be in, how excellent. No other reason I can see to put a
character from a 3DS game
as an amoeba.

Maturity, bitches.

Easiest thing is the staff. Curved parts are thinner in the leak. Ball looks smaller.

I only mean to be at my own neck. Plus I'm trying to make sure I don't get banned or something after only just getting here. It's just a question that bugs me from time to time. I'm not debating on whether or not the fanservice should be there, I'm asking how honest Nintendo is being about the fanservice. Honesty about fanservice is one of my personal pet peeves, don't mind me.

I'm not sure what you want them to do here.

This debate is crazy to me. I'll start complaining when Palutena begins dry-humping her staff, but until then, I saw nothing wrong with this.

People are so hung up on something that won't be in game.

Anyways, along with Lucina and G&W, there are also AT characters lol. So Lucina may not mean anything significant by being there.

This is the single best thread title change ever. It also reminds me that a lot of SmashGAF has overlap with MarvelGAF once again.
