Seriously. I don't care that it's shameless of them, I'm getting all the figures.

Word. I'm not even sure where I'd put the collection. I just need a Link figurine, and Greninja, and Rosalina, and Little Mac, and Luigi, and [list has been shortened for the convenience of poster's sanity]

I'm GOING TO BUY ALL too depend on my wallets

There's no such restraint when it comes to Nintendo figurines ;~;

 

[PadWarrior]

Basically we have 365 confirmed characters so far!

365??? So Ridley has a shot?

365 is a big number, but not THAT big =p

LOL

 

[Violet_0]

the Palutena reveal was pretty neat though

I don't think many would have been exited about the Pac-Man reveal even at the tournament

 

[GustyGardens]

Someone asked about the Ice Climbers. Seems like Sakurai ducked out of the question by saying it's hard to balance the games.

 

[PBalfredo]

Palmer Luckey, (creator of Oculus, new billionaire) is apparently on Giant Bomb's stream talking up a storm about how much he loves Smash Bros, especially competitive Smash Bros.

How much does Jeff want to kill himself during talk of competitive Smash?

 

[Hecatonchires Custom]

Quick question : do we know if Greninja can save a charged Shuriken like Samus/Lucario can?

They were expecting Ridley. Anything less than that would've gotten a lukewarm reaction.

It did not seem as though he could in the invitational. At least, he did not attempt to and probably would have if he could.

It's a bunch of Smash Bros. fans at a Smash Bros. tournament.

You could give them literally any reveal and they'd be excited.

Played both the 3DS and Wii U Smash.

Basically both games are identical gameplay wise. For some reason I thought the 3DS version was slightly faster, but that was probably just me. Both games are faster than Brawl, but most of the mechanics are closer to Brawl than Melee i.e defensive players get rewarded. I'm still excited cause I loved Brawl, but I do wonder if people can make this into a competitive fighting game.

Also I preferred the 3DS demo over the Wii U one because A. There was Yoshi and B. No assholes to cut you in line. My god that shit pissed me off.

I would get hyped if they announced that you could play as a big poo

I need to pull away from Mario Kart 8 and get back to Brawl to prepare.

Do go on 0.o

EDIT: Ninja'd by your edit

3DS demo the superior demo confirmed.

[Beelzebufo]

That finally debunks the RosalinaX 48 characters leak.

I mean, does it matter? New Sal leak confirms the Gematsu newcomers are the only ones, and Lucas might be cut.

 

[PadWarrior]

Michael "TYP" Cole:
Sakurai points out some chars are better suited for 2 vs 4 player and with or without items. Sakurai considers smash a party game.

 

[J@hranimo]

I can't believe Sakurai balanced Melee all by himself.

Wow...he was on FIRE back then!

 

[Metaternal]

Aw c'mon Sakurai, there was just a tourney though...

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Smash is a party game.

The great debate has hit a climax.

[Josh5890]

maybe Nintendo didn't expect there to be a bat-crazy of a crowd as there was. If they knew that they might have announced another character

 

[Caladrius]

literally any reveal

Tingle!?

 

[Berordn]

Tingle!?

I'd be hype as fuck for that, so screw you

Wait, Round 3 said the ones he leaked already are the only newcomers left?

 

[Axass]

Smash is a party game.

It is a party game, but saying that right now, after that tourney is kind of offensive to the many fans who play it competitively. Sakurai could use some more tact.

The Master speaks. Casuals exult. Competitive players collapse into tears, cancel pre-orders. A new day is dawning. Hereafter items will always be set to very high.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Yeah, either that or they'll all be announced at E3. It's kinda vague

Tingle!?

He's in gameplay vids as an AT

 

[Boss Doggie]

Party game doesn't imply it can't be competitive, silly.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Glad Pac-Man was confirmed, sad because the Gematsu leak is legit and Chrom will be a playable character.

Smash is a party game.

But of course.

When creating a game, we cannot just appeal to traditional fanbases. We need to reach out to new gamers, and cater to many target users.

A competitive Smash player is trying to challenge Sakurai to see if he can win and help balance the game. Sakurai asked "have you ever made a game?"

 

[Caladrius]

He's not particularly well-liked stateside, so it wasn't meant to be a dis on him.

BUT NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, YOU RAG ON WALUIGI, I RAG ON TINGLE

[OricWindstar]

Sakurai says there are more than 33 characters, everyone can relax.

 

[Axass]

Absolutely not, could be interpreted a hundred ways, read it yourself:

Hey, guys.

Funny that this page is talking about a new e-mail, because that's exactly why I'm here. Received one last night, but missed it in the mix of all this crazy E3 coverae.

But there's not much new about it, so I didn't think it was worth posting on the site.

I'll leave what it says here, though, in case you guys can use it in any way.

Basically, I was told that:

- Last E3 before game's launch (obviously)
- Participating characters: Pac-Man, Mii Fighter, Goddess Palutena, Shulk, Chrom, Chorus Men (none of these are new, obv, so I take he means these are the participating characters for E3?)
- There has been internal debate about keeping Lucas versus Ness, apparently Lucas is likely to get the cut
- Nintendo is planning post-launch character DLC, source doesn't like this as he thinks it's greedy

And that's it. This E3 should make or break whether this guy's the real deal. Let's hope for the best! =)

 

[GustyGardens]

These questions are not that great.

 

[oreomunsta]

IGN and those silly Russian sources, I tells ya

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Greninja chosen well before X/Y came out. Lucky thing he's popular.

 

[Masked Man]

Michael "TYP" Cole: A: All of the characters to consider were on our internal roster from the beginning of development. We had a slot for a new Pokemon reserved, but did not way for X and Y. We decided to use Greninja well before X/Y came out, based on early reference drawings.

Wow, that's so interesting! Also an easy debunk for all of those "this character might make it in but they're still debating" alleged leak rumors.
