This was updated to take into account the info leaked from the ESRB. I did not mark anyone as confirmed unless if they have appeared in a trailer (Mr. Game & Watch) or leaked in Gameplay (Gannondorf).

Imagine having to unlock someone in the incomplete All Star mode.

I get the feeling that will actually be a thing. But only for one fighter. …Maybe.

On that note, I hope that Custom Levels are back and more varied than ever. Doesn't seem like this will be the case for the 3DS version (at least at release), but there's definitely hope for the Wii U version.

I do hope they return that, it was BY FAR the only mode i spent my time the most since i got brawl. All the torture dunge-errr i mean stages that i made were alot of fun, i doubt sakurai would pull a low blow and take it away.

Clearer (but still blurry) version. This version at least disproves that Mewtwo's ear is clipping through Meta Knight's foot.

I thought this was a known fake?

It's listed as a live rumor as far as this page goes, and it's run by a person that clearly knows their shit. So never say never.

But if that's the case, why is there a clearer version? How would that even be able to be made? If the original picture was taken with a camera, then the guy probably doesn't have a capture card. So how can they get a clear pic? And even then, why aren't all of the images clear?

Obligatory with today's update:

You guys should bejelly of me, cus I went to Comic Con Brisbane and got to plya the 3Ds version of smash. Gunna have to wash the jizz out of my pants. Mega Man plays really well and dear christ is his final smash OP.

Charizard has a Mewtwo Colored Pallet Swap…

Okay, so I found a video that shows off this new palette. To me, it resembles Aerodactyl.

It makes more sense if it was from areodactyl, since both are flying pokemon.

And as a fan of areodactyl, all i can say FUCK YEAH!

More information from the AKB48 promotion/demo.

There are a bunch of technical details there, but I'm personally interested in the alternate costumes/colors. Wolf is apparently out of the picture and is an alternate color scheme for Fox, Fierce Diety may be an alternate costume for Link, Dry Bowser is another alt. Alph serves as an alternate appearance for Olimar. Peach has a Fire Flower costume. Pikachu can sport glasses and the hats of the Gold/Silver and X/Y trainers. Charizard has a shiny color palette. Palutena has a Viridi color scheme. Meta Knight has Dark Meta Knight and Galacta Knight costumes.

Also, there are these really cool rendered shots.

Still hoping for the Final Five to be a thing!

There is a few posts on r/smashbros that has two players give out info on the controls and how the game looks. I will like both of these threads here.

The Ridley Thread is a war zone right now.
This Image just gave detractors more reason to go out for blood.

these last days before the release of the 3DS version will be quite a ride…..

If that's real, then holy shit, is that a kickass design. Glad they went with that over the Other M appearance (which admittedly was also cool).

He's too big for the portrait screen.

But for real tho, after the whole shulk thing being real…not saying to raise your hopes up but hey…its there.

I have reasons that Ridley on the Pyrosphere during the direct was in his Other M Form if you paused real carefully. Another Leaker also said that a new reveal trailer will be showned on the 13th revealing Dr. Mario and the Fat-Shamed Dragon himself.

That's my birthday! If that's true that would be pretty cool.

Here is the leaker on the next reveal trailer posted on 4chan
I cant find the Original Post so Here is a link from GameFAQ's

"Hey there I was at pax and I attended the closed door meeting with nintendo. I just couldn't hold this from the public any longer. They were very strict with the phones and cameras so unfortunatley we couldn't get any footage.
What they talked about was the characters revealed atm and that this would be the starting roster for the final build of the game which they showed. This is probably stuff which you might all be speculating or know by now.

What we were shown which won't be revealed till the Japanese release of Smash 3ds is a trailer for a newcomer….

I was blown away of what just happend. Mario, who just got done getting dressed into his doctor garb, twisting his head mirror to adjust it center, runs towards the empty battlefield. there, he sees a dark and mysterious figure lurking through the shadows. It blows fire at Dr. Mario but he uses the twister move to make it seem like nothing then the shadow starts to charge after him and Dr Mario throws pills at it. he hits it and the figure begins coughing and gets smaller and out of the fog pops out a tail that smacks Dr. Mario so far he turns in a star. Then Ridley comes out of the fog flying and the tag reads "Ridley gets downsized!?" Then it shows various gameplay.

It looks like he can use his mouth for grabbing
He blows fire
he uses his tail like a scorpian stinger of some sort
He uses his wings to flap(I dunno how long it last)
He also uses his feet to stomp on enemies if hes in the air

Didn't see his final smash

I just couldn't hold this back any longer as this will all be revealed on 9/13 anyways. Anybody that thought the leak roster was the full thing is wrong there is at least Ridley to add to a slot.

We didn't get to see the full roster of characters only the starting roster of the final build.

I posted that image on 4Chan to see the responses that it would get. The results are… Interesting. (NSFW warning because it's 4chan and shit.)

Let the mass butthurt flooow~

All the info that Zipzo is posting is being archived by member Shaya of Smashboards.

Also, that AKB48 Miis vs Smash video has surfaced. It's the length of a commercial.

Surprise no one has posted this here yet. The bulk of the Smash 4 info, and those two screencaps are coming from a user named Zipzo at Smashboards. Check the thread here for detailed analysis of the game

It's in the first two posts. Worth reading through, I think.

After asking Zipzo about Luigi and Pac-man alts, there was none for both of them.
Too bad Ms. PAC Man won't be a playable alt…..

Regarding the Ridley leak, take a look at this:

CROPPED FROM THIS:

There are some differences, but they very well could have been shopped.

Then again, Dr. Mario looked like something else too, so who knows.

"The speed of the game is…omg this must be so surprising to hear, but it's inbetween Brawl and Melee. However…air speed is still closer to Brawl. Ground speed is very Melee feely though.

Fast falling is incredibly fast though.

Shields are fast. Very fast. They are basically the new wave-dash (I dare say), I'm being totally serious, and you can attack out of them with a great deal of attacks."

"This game did not feel like Brawl, and I've been playing a lot of Brawl lately to prepare and I almost feel bad for doing so. It actually felt more like Project M, to be honest if I had to compare it to something, but when it comes down to it I almost feel like I'm insulting the work put in to this game to simply size it up to some previous iteration by saying "It's like Brawl" or whatever else."

So the game is like brawl and Project M in a blender.

Honestly, i'm very happy bout this bit of info, both Melee and brawl fans might finally feel right at home with this one.

Thank you base sakurai!

The game really likes to remind you that the characters you wanted playable are not playable.

I'm 3 hours too early but fuck it:

THREE MORE DAYS!!!

Shouldn't we start the countdown on Wednesday?

Time Zones. And Thursday night at Midnight in Japan is when it's getting released.

Though I do realize I miscalculated the countdown clock, it's 3 days till the day of the midnight release, and a little over 4 till the actual release.

Just play the song of time in like 27 hours and the moon should be perfectly timed.

goes back to bed before I screw myself over with more mistiming

The Japan release?

That doesn't suffice!

We got some big news! The Nintendo Treehouse will be hosting a livestream on the 12th featuring a final build of Smash 3DS. It's most likely the Japanese demo from this weekend. The actual time has been announced yet.

Are your bodies ready? As for me…

This is Nintendo direct ×8

Too bad it's not all for Super Smash Brothers.

Nintendo usually mirrors their streams, right?

Sorry to double-post, but check this out. Four of the Final Five may have been revealed by previous text leaks, as some of them match up. It says that Ridley, Mewtwo, Dixie Kong, and the Chorus Men are part of the group that has yet to be unveiled, provided that the rumors are true. It also posits that there might not be a Final Five, though this disproves that there aren't any new characters.

Get your bodies ready.

G-guys, it's two menu updates in a row. S-sakurai is unleashing his ungodly wrath upon u-us!

Nothing but Menus till the Japanese Release!!

I just wanna see if the options have customizable controls, then i'll be a happy camper.

You reveal a leak, You get the hammer.

Don't mess with Sakurai……

We got a time for the Nintendo Treehouse! It starts at 1 PM EST / 10 AM PT! Straight from the Twitter.

Guys check Daan Koopman's Twitter Account now! He's got the demo version of Super Smash Bros for the 3DS and it's a Japanese 3DS! And yes, this is real!

I've been against Ridley being in the game for quite some time now, but now, fuck it. As long as there's another Metroid character my hopes and dreams are realized and I can die happy.

Notice anything missing? It's a sign that we're going to get another character reveal in time for the Nintendo Treehouse stream.

Also, SmoothMcGroove is about to start streaming the game, if you're interested.
