Now is the time where silence grows.... i'm still putting the money on something Sonic related!

 

[grandjedi6]

I was expecting that question. There are two ways to answer that:

1) Yes, I do actually expect an Animal Crossing character (I'm not playing devil's advocate here) and believe that's far more probable than, say, a playable Nintendo DS (which would still be awesome if it happens).

2) Animal Crossing is at the top of the list. If worst comes to worst it can be omitted from the section as its own section, with Touch Generations beginning representation of non-game franchises (I'm playing again).


It could also be a section for franchises that are not actually games. There are more factors that set it apart from 15-20 than there are which make it similar. Also, like I keep pointing out, you're only attacking one of two conditions that would justify its placement - the other would have it be part of the other section as Touch Generations.

But I'm the one who came up with the "The DS symbol is actually being used as the "Touch Generations" symbol" idea. Does that mean I have to argue against myself?! :

All along your greatest enemy was not me, but yourself!

 

[Scribble]

It's about to happen. Every time I'm awake to see the update appear, it ends up being lame.

 

[Baryn]

I'm predicting DeDeDe specials.

You'll jinx us all!!

[Firestorm]

Looks like they followed up on yesterday's update.

 

[Grecco]

I didn't ask if you expected it. I asked if you were CERTAIN. If you're not, then your standards ARE completely arbitrary.



EDIT: Yay more Dedede.

 

[MGrant]

Dedede's attacks.

 

[celebi23]

King Dedede Special Attacks

 

[Jiggy]

Expected, but good nonetheless.

 

[Crushed]

Sakurai am biased total.

 

[Baryn]

I'm predicting DeDeDe specials.

BOOYAH! What do I win? A candy?!!

<Up Special Move: Super Dedede Jump>

Look! That’s a serious jump!

And he lands HARD!

King Dedede’s great jump is his specialty! But he doesn’t have much freedom while jumping, and his vulnerability when he lands is pretty significant.

That said, if things look bad, just tap down on the Control Stick.

You can flip over and cancel it in midair.

However, if you try to cancel just before landing, you’ll make a fool of yourself, and you’ll be vulnerable for even longer, so watch out.

<Side Special Move: Waddle Dee Toss>

Just toss them out there.

He pulls out Waddle Dees from who knows where and throws them. The Waddle Dees then waddle around afterward.

Occasionally a Waddle Doo appears...

And Gordo, too.

<Down Special Move: Jet Hammer>

This time, King Dedede’s hammer is actually mechanized. The head’s rotation is powered by a motor.

And it can do this.

Whoa! What is this?!?

If you hold down the Control Stick and the special-move button simultaneously, you can charge up his hammer. And you can unleash it in one blow!

The power of the jet multiplies the destructive force!

You can even walk around with it charged up, but you can’t save the charge by pressing the shield button. Also, if you charge it up too much, it will increase your own damage, so be careful.

 

[Firestorm]

Toad vs Waddle Dee time ^_^

 

[Iam Canadian]

As Dedede from the dub of the Kirby anime would say, "it's Dededelightful!".

This seems to be a new trend: getting the special moves immediately following the character.

 

[Grecco]

That Eyeball thing reminds me of the Cloud boss from the GB Kirby... Would have been nice to see some of the old school Kirby bosses as Deedees summon

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Fucking awesome moves.

 

[castle007]

yaaay, special moves

 

[Iam Canadian]

However, if you try to cancel just before landing, you’ll make a fool of yourself, and you’ll be vulnerable for even longer, so watch out.

Uh-oh, the Smashboarders won't like this...

I love the idea of tossing Gordos and Waddle Doos at people, though. Hopefully they're reasonably frequent.

 

[grandjedi6]

The bad guys he throws out can change

 

[Taxman]

I was wondering what he meant about "mechanized hammer" yesterday

 

[ohamsie]

it's not updating for me, I want to read Sakurai's translated wit.

 

[Jiggy]

Possibly the most creative moveset we've seen yet. I hope Waddle Dees are spammable to the degree of Peach's turnips.

 

[Zeed]

Check the UK site.

Is that mechanical hammer from any Kirby game? I don't remember ever seeing that.

 

[dallow_bg]

I keep refreshing and it doesn't come up for me.

I even do a ctrl+f5.

Go to the UK Smash page

Quoting from previous page:

[Baryn]

I don't think we have enough candies for everyone who predicted this.

Don't steal my thunder

I am VERY(!) disappointed that Dedede does not have a vacuum mouth as he does in the Kirby games.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Wait, so this means you lose the charge when you shield?

 

[grandjedi6]

Don't steal my thunder

THere is still his normal special and normal attacks

 

[Dreavus]

Awesome! Sakurai managed to work three more Kirby enemies into the game with that side special...

This is making me want to drag out the SNES and play some Superstar.

 

[Zeed]

I am VERY(!) disappointed that Dedede does not have a vacuum mouth as he does in the Kirby games.

Err, his normal special move still hasn't been shown.

THere is still his normal special and normal attacks

Down special is the rocket hammer thing.

 

[woxel1]

Spezialattacke oben: Super-Dedede-Sprung

 

[Crocodile]

Don't steal my thunder

I am VERY(!) disappointed that Dedede does not have a vacuum mouth as he does in the Kirby games.

They haven't revealed his neutral B move......

 

[ohamsie]

Don't steal my thunder

I am VERY(!) disappointed that Dedede does not have a vacuum mouth as he does in the Kirby games.

The standard B special move has yet to be updated.

 

[scottnak]

DO WANT!
DO LIKE!
ENJOYMENT HIGH!
Wheeeeeeeeeeee
Looks like I've found me a new character to play with.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Don't steal my thunder

I am VERY(!) disappointed that Dedede does not have a vacuum mouth as he does in the Kirby games.

There's still his neutral B.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Huh.

DeDeDe is only being shown fighting other heavyweights.

 

[Jiggy]

Is that mechanical hammer from any Kirby game? I don't remember ever seeing that.

Nope, it's new.

 

[layzie1989]

meh

 

[Crushed]

Don't steal my thunder

I am VERY(!) disappointed that Dedede does not have a vacuum mouth as he does in the Kirby games.

We don't know that.

We haven't seen his normal special yet.

 

[Baryn]

That's a great point, his vanilla special was not shown, I did not realize that.

 

[ohamsie]

So I guess Peach is no longer the only character packing hidden items when playing item-less games.

 

[grandjedi6]

6 people correcting Baryn at once

 

[Scribble]

Wow. The best part is the fact that the Waddle Dees actually walk around when you summon them. Best moveset ever.

 

[Crushed]

So I guess Peach is no longer the only character packing hidden items when playing item-less games.

Uh, Wario's motorcycle, Diddy's peanut guns...

 

[Baryn]

GAF still works.
