[Zeed]

Sakurai has confirmed it many times.

No he hasn't, don't make shit up. He said he'd try, but it'd be hard. That's it.

 

[Somnid]

There's 2 updates left this week so one should be a character and one should be a stage. I'm going with character.

 

[Zeed]

Can't...keep...eyes...open...

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Hm, I'm calling a stage.

Then tomorrow MORE SINGLE PLAYER INFO PLZ THNX

 

[AniHawk]

I'm guessing they'll reveal Alf tonight.

 

[Bo130]

Peach or Little Mac profile today

 

[kamikaze]

overdue for a lame update.

 

[Big Icarus]

Peach profile tonight. Now it's time for bed.

Edit:

overdue for a lame update.

*cough* smokeballs *cough*

 

[traveler]

What happened to Earthbound week? :lol

 

[Speevy]

Tonight is radishes.

 

[JohnTinker]

I haven't been staying up as of late and haven't kept up with this thread, but has Japan Time reverted back to around 3am EST, or is it still around 4am EST?

 

[Count Dookkake]

I'm guessing they'll reveal Alf tonight.

Alf versus Mewtwo would be epic.

 

[flipping_heck]

Predict, Assist Trophy, DK series, King K. Rool

or a pokemon, either one is fine

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I'll guess Gameplay Mode: Classic again.

 

[Haunted]

It could be a new stage, maybe pokemon-themed.

It should be a new character.. like Peach.

It will be a new pokemon I've never heard of and I'm not interested in. :/

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Here's hoping for Little Mac.

 

[MrNibbles]

New item.

 

[ohamsie]

Hm, I'll guess stage, maybe Meta Knight's ship.

 

[Michan]

DR. KAWASHIMA AS PLAYABLE CHARACTER

Spoiler

prediction

 

[Haunted]

Here's hoping for Little Mac.

Assist trophy or playable character?

 

[MrNibbles]

UPDATED:
PIT FINAL SMASH
<Palutena’s Army>

Pit is the captain of Palutena’s Army, the guardians of the Goddess of Light! It’s said that when he raises his voice to heaven, this goddess will appear.

Goddess Palutena! I beseech you!

Now that’s what I call a deity. Look how big she is!

Well, I guess technically that’s not her actual size. She just chose to manifest herself as something that big.

Here come the flying Centurions...

Now, attack!

They divebomb at incredible speeds!

It’s very difficult to dodge a charge of Centurions, splitting the sky like a storm.

Then again, the Centurions scatter after they clash. They each make one attack and then fall in battle.

Their sacrifices are so...so moving...

 

[Busaiku]

Pit Final Smash.
Would this kill the chances of Palutena as a character?

 

[legend166]

Pit Final Smash.

 

[Greenpanda]

Pit's Final Smash!


edit: I think this turned out to be a Kid Icarus week instead of an Earthbound week .

 

[QuickKick89]

WHOA. Palutena looks amazing.

This looks to be a sick attack too. All these guys divebombing you? Very cool.

 

[ohamsie]

Palutena unplayable confirmed

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Huh, pretty cool. Remidns me of the Unown pokemon attack from Melee.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Awesome, Pit Final Smash.

 

[JohnTinker]

Awesome update

 

[Shard]

I wonder if it could have been Pit's final smash?

 

[Firestorm]

Earthbound week? More like Kid Icarus week!

 

[Mgoblue201]

Awesome. Aren't those the guys you unfreeze with the hammers in Kid Icarus?

 

[Greenpanda]

Awesome. Aren't those the guys you unfreeze with the hammers in Kid Icarus?

yeah, they are

same big noses and everything!

 

[MrNibbles]

Yes.
Give that junior member a YooHoo chocolate drink.

 

[apotema]

I want the Earthbound week and the 3rd party week..... And the "Finally after a big delay, we present you the real E3 trailer week"

 

[Haunted]

ooooooh. Looks nice.

 

[Somnid]

Cool update, I guess Palutena won't be playable though, that kinda sucks.

 

[ohamsie]

Where did you guys get the idea that this was supposed to be EarthBound week anyways?

 

[Hours Left]

Cool update, I guess Palutena won't be playable though, that kinda sucks.

That's what I was thinking too. Her updated design is really awesome.

 

[Haunted]

Palutena is huge.

What's that energy ball thingie here?

 

[MrNibbles]

September 3rd - 7th will be THE week for good updates.
I bet an "until Brawl is released" ban on it.

 

[kamikaze]

Huh, pretty cool. Remidns me of the Unown pokemon attack from Melee.

yeah, though being a final smash, i hope they're more powerful.

 

[Mgoblue201]

Yes.
Give that junior member a YooHoo chocolate drink.

I prefer strawberry.

 

[GhaleonQ]

The Centurions' design makes me wonder why they put Pit and company in the "realistic group" instead of the "cartoon group."

 

[rakka]

Where did you guys get the idea that this was supposed to be EarthBound week anyways?

Someone in this thread said so, must be true.

 

[Scrubking]

What's up with that upskirt pic of Palutena? Shame on you Nintendo.

 

[MrNibbles]

Centurion design is from the upcoming DS game.
Pit / Palutena is from the upcoming Wii game.

Spoiler

BLEIVE

What's up with that upskirt pic of Palutena? Shame on you Nintendo.

Camera mode for the win?

 

[flipping_heck]

Based off screenshots and description, it does seem to be a very weak FS compared with others.

If the last screenshot is any indication, it can be blockable unless that seems to be Ike's recovery or something. Hopefully, the damage per centurion is good (im guessing 10 damage per attack) and theres enough centurions to break the guard and also create enough damage.

Also Pit seems to be invincible for a while when FS is in effect, so as long as you keep the pressure.

 

[mutsu]

I wonder if it could have been Pit's final smash?

It says that it is?

 

[Haunted]

Apparently, Pit can still move around while in Final Smash mode. When he summons Palutena, he's on the left platform...

but when the centurions sweep down he's in the center down below.

I guess he's just the only one not affected by the centurion's attacks, but can he still move around and attack like usual? hm.
