Magical Changing Picture for the Page Get

And I kinda compiled my guess for the final roadster, though it's kinda non-specific.

Jigglypuff is basically confirmed. They've been in SSB since N64 days. I think it would be silly if they didn't get in. Miku's out. I think Sakurai said at one point that he only wanted characters originally from Vidya. Doubtful, unless I was wrong or Sakurai lied to us.

still waiting for reggie

I still would've liked to see Plusle and Minun as playable. Why is it that all the Pokémon I like, never get playable. And before you say something like "Your favorites are terrible competitively", may I remind you that there has been Pokémon like that playable before.

I marked Jigglypuff as Low Priority because all the characters who where not featured in the Subspace Emissary (Wolf, Toon Link, Jigglypuff) where all finished just before Brawl's deadline. True, character priority may have changed but for the time being that's what I'm going to assume.

And Hatsune Miku was out-of-the-blue on that official contest.

I don't think she will actually make it in, but the existence of her in the results still leaves a slight chance.

And speaking of that poll, Chrom now leads as the most wanted not already confirmed/deconfirmed character. Followed by Miku (hah), Dark Pit (At most Pit will likely feature an alternate voice reel for his Black Color Pallete), Palutena (Most likely on this list), that Inazuma Eleven character who I don't know the name of (intresting pick, but if there was to be a Level 5 representative I would want Proffesor Layton instead), and Gaius (Even if there was 4 Fire Emblem representatives, I think Sothe would be a better fit for a Theif Class).

I don't get this whole "the original twelve are safe forever and always" myth that's popped up. Last I remember, Jigglypuff was an absolute joke in Brawl and was widely hated – even though she was a popular character in the previous two games. I think that Captain Falcon came close to being cut from Brawl at one point, and even though he was also nerfed significantly, he still had a fanbase. Jigglypuff hasn't really shown up in Pokemon-related media in years, so I think that if a character had to be cut, it would be her.

Yeah, but look at the points:

• Chrom has 56 points.
• Gaius has 6 points.

I think we're hoping for too much generousity here. Even Ike has more than 6 times the points Gaius got. Just Chrom would be assumable (with possibly Lucina as a female skin, due to the Wii Fit Trainer gender skins). But Gaius!? Nah, don't bet on it.

Miku as a third party entry…. I really can't say what the odds are there.

But how is babby formed?

I overheard a conversation on /vg/ that basically suggested: What if Falco or Wolf took over Snake's moveset, and swap out all the weapons with the equivalent weapons in Starfox Assault?

I mean damn, if Snake can't get back in but can somehow live on though that I am all for it.

Also, on the topic of Wolf: I did say he was low priority last time, but I do realize Sakurai might bring him back to keep the villain cast diverse.

And speaking of movesets getting changed, I have a feeling any veteran not revealed yet may be getting an update like Zero Suit Samus, Sheik, and Yoshi did. Many of them have already been tweaked, but I have a feeling all the complete overhauls will be announced towards the end.

Crosses fingers for Ganon FINALLY getting his Trident

U GUISE!

The thing you're seeing in the middle is a Gamecube adapter, and will also be available in a special edition of Smash Bros.

I wonder if this will make Gamecube Games playable over the Wii Mode… well, I would understand if it was not since vastly different hardware, but still.

Not to mention, there isn't a Memory Card Port. So there is that as well.

Since the GCN Controller Adapter was revealed with the SSB4 Controller, do you think there will be more variations of the Gamecube controller in the near future similar to the Smash Bros controller?

My body will be ready for his confirmation.

It seems like this is a one time thing. The only other Wii game I'm aware of that used the GC controller was Mario Kart Wii, and obviously the Wii-U has options that fill the need for a standard peripheral, otherwise they would've released it along with Mario Kart 8.

Nintendo is resuscitating the GC controller for one reason, and that is to make SSB fans happy. They are a picky bunch who are used to playing with the same two games with the same controller for nearly a decade and a half. They are also the ones who will buy the game, and more importantly, buy the console so they can play the game. This is the Wii-U's killer app; the handhelds have Pokemon to keep them afloat (and I can attest to this, because the only reason I bought my 2DS two weeks ago was a. because of the Gen 3 remakes being announced, and b. it was the last day they were selling them bundled with Pokemon X), and the consoles have this. They need to give people an additional incentive as insurance.

No need to tell me to please understand, because I understand.

Where there is Virtual Console on the Wii U, there is hope for Gamecube compatibility.

In the Super Smash Bros Direct, when the "Familiar Stages" were revealed, I saw only one Melee stage for 3DS and only one Brawl stage for Wii U. Can this mean that only one of the previous titles will have stages in SSB for Wii U or SSB for 3DS?

I have a feeling they are porting Melee stages over to the 3DS because it's a lot easier for 3DS to handle Gamecube Assets. Hardware has come a long way since the Gamecube Era, and they wouldn't have to downgrade the assets too dramatically to get Melee Stages onto the 3DS. As a result, the Wii U version is getting Brawl stages to compensate.

^It makes sense.

I think we should now discuss which stages we want in the new Smash Bros, as the roster seems complete(with secret characters obviously going unannounced). I'll just list the ones I want for the Wii U and 3DS versions here:

Wii U – Sprixie Kingdom(Super Mario 3D World)
Wii U – Fountain of Dreams(Kirby's Adventure/KIrby: Nightmare in Dreamland)
3DS – Tetris(Based on the Gameboy version)
Returning – Peach's Castle Melee
Wii U – An 8-Bit stage like Melee and 64's Mushroom Kingdom(Hopefully Mushroom Kingdom U didn't deconfirm this.)
Returning – Hyrule Castle(64)
Returning – Pokefloats(Melee)
Returning – Delfino Plaza(Brawl)
Returning – Hyrule Temple(Melee)
Returning – Yoshi's Island(Brawl)
3DS – Wario's Castle(Wario Land 3)
Wii U – A Yarn Yoshi-based stage(It has recently been confirmed that Yarn Yoshi is not entirely dead.)
Wii U – Chemical Plant Zone(Sonic the Hedgehog 2)
Wii U – Bowser's Castle(Mario series)

PS, I don't know if Melee and Brawl stages will be system-exclusive or if 64 stages are even going to be in this one, so I listed them as "Returning".

How could this happen? Where is Jigglypuff?

Jigglypuff is most likely a secret character in the new Smash Bros, since she's obviously returning.

Again, where is the proof to this? Sakurai hasn't ever made a statement claiming that all 12 original fighters would make it in to every installment. Jigglypuff was pretty much hated in Brawl, and she hasn't appeared in any promotional material since the end of the third generation.

On another note, it looks like there's an HD Super Mario World/Yoshi's Island on the playing field, which makes me a happy camper. Looking forward to the inevitable mass fangasm that will surely be brought about by this year's E3.

How do we know Jigglypuff is a "she"?
Also, I want Fourside from Melee returning. If it happens, it would be for 3DS. Or maybe they could get a better stage for Ness, since Onett was pretty awful IMO.

Please don't triple post.

OK, DUUUUUUUUDE. LET'S GO SAVE THE WORLD, MAAAAAAAAAAAAN.

If you live near NYC, the Nintendo World Store is hosting a Smash demo for both the Wii U and 3DS.

This is what I have been training my body for!

I actually think Jigglypuff has a good chance of getting in again. Sixth gen added Fairy, the first new type in almost fifteen years, and Jigglypuff was given it as a second type. New Fairy moves would give them a way to keep a classic character fresh and get a good rep for the new typing (and through that get another good rep for sixth gen). It makes sense that they'd want to promote the Fairy type as much as they could and frankly, I think that people who play Smash would be much more resistant to an all new Pokemon rep, especially another one from sixth gen, than they would be to a returning character like Jigglypuff.

I'm not sure if they'll add another Pokemon past Greninja, but if they do my money's on Jigglypuff coming back.

Goddammit, I live too far away from NYC and I don't even get off for the summer until the 21st. This just makes me want Nintendo to release demos to the eShop for those who can't reach NYC or E3, if that's not too much to ask.

A new Fire Emblem Stage was revealed for the Wii U. Apparently, it's going to have pop up platforms and stuff like the 3DS arena.

But those large open skies… I have a feeling that something may come flying down out of it.

We've reached the final three days.

Anyone else planning to go to one of the Best Buy events next week? I know I am.

None of the Best Buys in my area will host the demo but I'm going to try to go to the Nintendo World Store on the 14th and play it there. Doing that would require me to reschedule my dentist appointment…

I think I'm going to, even though I'm on vacation, and the nearest one is an hour away. Both events, if I can make it.

Only two days remain!

How do you do that awesome animated font?

Oh, I didn't create either of the images. They were made by IntelliHeath1 from Smashboards.

I'm a couple hours early in the Central Time Zone (Where I'm standing)
but here you go

Another gif from IntelliHeath1

Create the letters on a white background, merge the layers, and remove the center of the letters so that the middle is transparent.

Now just place the GIF you want in the letters behind the layer that shows the letters, each layer again, until you're done. Should take 30 minutes if you're fast and have the GIFs available already.

Of course I can't say what the font was he used.

I CAME SO HARD.

Anyway, there are two third-party characters I'd like to see: Sora (Kingdom Hearts, Square Enix) and a Team Fortress 2 (Valve) character, though I'd prefer Pyro or Demo. Sora because he's a well-known character with games on Nintendo handhelds who'd fit well with the likes of Mario and Kirby, and Pyro/Demo because come on. The KH stage could be Destiny Islands or The World That Never Was, and the TF stage could be 2Fort or Dustbowl. And as for Final Smashes, Sora could go into Final Form, Pyro could use his Apocalypse taunt on a larger scale, and Demo could have Medic drop in and UberCharge him.

Well, we've reached the final six hours until Nintendo at E3 begins. I may have school and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon, but will not stop me from watching the event. My body is ready!

Watching a live Twitter update of the Smash Round Table. Apparently Mr. Game & Watch is back in, and everyone's favorite cheese wheel Pac-Man is, in fact, confirmed. He can apparently turn into an 8-bit version, throw pellets and fruit, call on the ghosts, and use a fire hydrant for some reason. We can also assume that at least one Mother character is returning, since Franklin Badges were mentioned in the Smash Run demo during the tournament. Speaking of which, Zero won as Zero Suit Samus against Hungrybox as Kirby in a tight Sudden Death grand final.

GUYS!!!!!

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/11/e3-2014-pac-man-announced-for-new-super-smash-bros?abthid=5397c1facda8f09743000026

PACMAN IS ON SMASH BROSS!!!!

At first I didn't like the idea, but they made him look GREAT! WOW! Nintendo knows how to deliver!

Pacman seems to be a representation of classic Namco in general. As I saw Galaga and Pole-Position inspired moves.

Personal Want-list:
- New Metroid character (unlikely)
- Snake (unlikely and Kojima's a douche for not porting MGSV to the Wii U so he deserves it anyways)
- Captain Falcon (likely)
- Ness (likely)
- Chrom (likely and I've never played a Fire Emblem game ever but he looks badass)
- Shulk (likely and see above for reasoning except insert Xenoblade where needed)
- Meta Knight (likely)
- Magolor (unlikely)
- Ghirahim (in the middle on the scale of likeliness)
- Updated Ganon with weapon if no Ghirahim (likely)

All of it is hype. Pure, unadulterated hype.

And I love every single thing about it. Nintendo might have just won E3 completely, unless they make a sudden reveal tomorrow and fucking blow everyone's minds out of the goddamn world.

Looking at you, Star Fox. Make the move, Nintendo.
