That's all of em for now.
Mario looks nice. I can't wait to use him as an avatar. Haha, love the Kirbus sprite.
New character, new sprite.
You are amazing.

Alright, I'm pretty sure that I would agreed with you but we don't know for sure until the game got released.
I guess he did that because of internet. I can't help but recalled something about it. I could be wrong.
What? Mega Man isn't exciting? WHAT! But yeah we really got sparse information because the game is still in early development.
I would support that to be in the game.
No one did.

My hype is long gone at this stage. I haven't bothered posting for that reason.
August Direct please restore hype.

Hahaha, we might not get Direct for other week or two. I suspect that we might get Direct few days before Gamescom, If not then few days before TGS.
IntelliHeath

Indeed.
I just realized that we could get mini direct for Wonderful 101 soon or very soon.

I don't really like the daily screenshots compared to Brawl's Dojo updates and that isn't helping the hype situation, BUT Mega Man's reveal trailer and Mega Man being in Smash in general means my hype is and will always be at max until the game's release.
Seriously, Mega Man in Smash has been the one thing I've wanted from the series more than anything else since Brawl made third-party characters possible. His reveal trailer was one of the biggest E3 hype moments of all time for me.

This week would be likely.

Yeah, I understand but I would rather that way to keep our hype low if SSB4 ended up being worse than Brawl. I don't think it would.
I was thinking of next week or two weeks because of the release date. It's Aug 24 for JPN.

That worry doesn't apply to me... I'm in the camp that very strongly believes Brawl is a far, far better game than Melee (aside from tripping). I understand that's not the popular opinion, but I could give you a laundry list of reasons I think Melee is horrible compared to Brawl, but you've likely seen all those reasons and have your own reasons for disagreeing, so I'll spare you.
If Smash 4 is anything like Brawl with the simple addition of Mega Man, I'll be a very happy camper. And if it's like a middle ground between Brawl and Melee with the addition of Mega Man and without Melee's horrible balancing and exploits (like wavedashing), then I'll still be a happy camper! Basically, as long as it's not simply Melee 2, I'm pretty sure I'll love Smash 4.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still enjoying Brawl but I'm concerned with many things that could go wrong with SSB4 and make it even worse than Brawl. I don't think I can handle fanbase with SSB4 if it's way worse than Brawl.
I agree, though Melee is far from "horrible." They're both great games in their own right, but I prefer Brawl.

When Brawl got announced we got a crappy site with profiles, after a while we got the notice that the site was going to be updated, then we got a specific date (Japan time!) and the dojo began.
Dojo wasn't a first day thing, it took months for it to being, right now with the daily screenshots we are getting more content than we had with Brawl in the same time frame.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Sakurai said that he wouldn't do Dojo updates again. I don't remember where I heard it from but it have been mentioned in this thread.

Most of my enjoyment of Smash comes from playing for hours on end with friends, so the version with the most content/characters/stages/nostalgia-pandering is always going to be my favorite.
Project M opened my eyes a bit to just how much smoother Melee's gameplay is, but nearly everything else in that game is really bare-bones and what must have been a hellish 13-month development period really shows
plus thanks to it being rushed we're stuck with Captain Ganondorf

Good point, except...
... this. He did indeed say that.
You're right, I overstated things... my bad. Melee is not horrible, I'm just frustrated with what it has become and with much of its fanbase.

I really don't remember that, but oh well :\
Just for random trivia... the first trailer came up on may 10th 2006 and the dojo was created on may 22nd 2007.. a full year after the first trailer
And because I was already googling this things....
This is so damn retro

We haven't had a single item revealed in screenshots, what if this means items are out of the game?!
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Yeah, I remembered those old days. It's amazing how much it changed from first point to other point.
We've seen the capsule, though. I don't know why they're being so secretive. Even the Brawl reveal trailer had items.
Smash Ball only. All Smash Balls all the time.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Capsule and Smash Ball ONLY!
Capsules only have Smash Balls in them. Or another Capsule.

Who in the hell actually thinks this? Melee is perfection. You guys are insane.

HOW DARE YOU SLIGHTLY PREFER X TO Y
It's probably part of his moveset to be honest. Also assumed the bowling ball was an item until Sakurai said otherwise during the Direct.
I feel like I need to set the record straight again because this misconception pops up way too often for my liking. (Thanks, IGN!)
Sakurai said that during the last thirteen months of Melee development he didn't take any breaks, but IGN misinterpreted this to mean that the entire game was made in 13 months. On the official Melee site, Sakurai says that work began in July 1999, giving Melee a development cycle of over two years, which is fairly typical. Not even the most competent, hard-working development team imaginable could create a game as elaborate as Melee from scratch in 13 months. That's nonsense.

Yeah, that makes more sense. Still, given Smash wasn't the juggernaut it is now until after Melee, what I assume was a smaller dev-team and less resources, Melee still feels like it was rushed more than Brawl or the original game were.
I mean, Sakurai's still gone on record saying the clones were a way of padding out the roster at the last minute after more unique characters had to be let go due to time-issues, right? I think there's even data on Melee's disc that gives him his sword and has him fully-animated while hodling it in all his regular movement, indicating that he got further than others (Dedede and Lucas have been stated to of been planned for Melee, right?) in development before concessions had to be made to make the December release date.
Melee isn't perfect. In fact, there's no such thing as a perfect game!
Melee is a god damn amazing game though. Truly impressive too. I only like Brawl more just for the bigger content, but Melee did a lot of things better such as physics, speed and Single Player.
Huh, alrighty. If you really want it back though, let me know!

Well said, although I'd just say Melee's gameplay is faster than Brawl's, not necessarily smoother. The speed was nice, though I'd take Brawl's less-exploitable, fairer gameplay any day. Of course, a combination of both would be even better!
Opinions... a concept we must all learn sooner or later. I suppose you're in the "later" group...

I think they're focusing more on characters, at least at this point in development.

Finishing all the sprites makes me anxious about actual new news,
should've been lazier about making those sprites.

Speaking of news, do we even know when the next Nintendo Direct is?
We never do
Yeeeah I'm gonna go cry somewhere now then.

Good job on making an icon out of the purple pikmin, that's perfect!
Oh thank you!

Nintendo Direct is Nintend's surprise missiles. We wouldn't know when it going to happens until they drop it on us.

I want Mii to be playable just to see what on earth will be done with the moveset for Mii.
Wii fit trainer & Villager sorta make me feel like Sakurai'd be more inventive than just "oh Mii can use a tennis racket."

Rumor has it that the W101 Direct will be on August 7.
Not really a Nintendo Direct in the normal sense, but it's something. We really are due for one soon; fall release dates, new bundles, WiiU summer update, GBA Virtual Console,
Mother 3 ;_;
Dunno what they're waiting for.
