Super Smash Bros.

As in the Poke is pulled out of the fight, the opponent attacks thin air with their powerful move, and then the new Poke shows up.

So much for what was meant to be a quick joke ^^;

Did every character of the day post have a "featurette" of sorts for said character (e.g. Falco has that manga post and Young Link had that post about his N64 games)? Coz if every character will have one, I'll be curious what they'll post for say, Bowser, his son, Wolf or Greninja.

Sorry for double post, but first wave of new amiibos for Smash U will be on Dec 7, featuring Ridley, Inkling and Wolf.

I'll forgive you for double posting. This time.

is that motherfucking Jun Senoue arranging Megaman music

im in heaven

It is curious that among the returning veterans, they picked Wolf to go along Ridley and Inkling.

I bet it was the Yamcha pose that got him in first

Yeah, everyone knows Yamcha is just the coolest.

There's a couple of Smash 4 amiibos that I missed the first time around, so I'm okay with them reprinting them.

Also, can I just say that I am really looking forward to finally having an Ice Climbers amiibo? (I just hope they don't end up stupidly rare.)

It does line up with my theory that Wolf is probably the most requested veteran to return. I mean, he was the last one to appear in the trailer (barring Megaman, and obviously the joke for Luigi and Yoshi).

The competition wasn't really that tough. Although, if we're really talking about all the missing Veterans I'm pretty sure Snake got him beat.

I mean, Yamcha & the rest of the earthlings tend to be most fun to use.

So I'm not sure if anyone post these videos but Game Xplain did a mock argument video on whether Captain Toad or Bandanna Dee deserve to be in Smash 5/Ultimate. The videos are months old but that shouldn't really change any argument. Although I didn't necessarily finish the videos because the voice performance were kinda cringey for me to finish.

Either way I thoroughly disagree with both verdicts

I'm sure yo can see the problem with those links yo posted.

Just fixed it

Speaking of GameXplain, here's a quick video summarizing Nintendo's interview with Sakurai. I already made a post about this before, but this is basically a TL;DR version of the interview.

In relation to the codename leak, this just came out;

https://www.twingalaxies.com/feed_details.php/2253/potential-goku-announcement-confirms-smash-bros-ultimate-leak-rumor

Barring the meme aside, could this be the potential date of confirmation for King K. Rool and Dixie Kong? There may be a mini Direct that day with the competition, not to mention that it would be a month after Ultimate's reveal, but who knows? We must wait and see how it rolls.

Dude, I swear to god I wanted to exit as soon as I saw that title.

Other than that...

goku is too op for smash bros,his power levels are too high

So, which amiibos would you prefer they used the Ultimate pose instead of the Smash 4 pose?

Most of the Zelda characters' Smash figures are going to be outdated with the new game, at any rate. As will Fox and Falco,

I can totally see why Wolf is the first of the returning veterans to get his amiibo produced. Back in Smash 4, he was the veteran that hit the sweet spot for the various factors that could have resulted in him being DLC - he was first-party (i.e. Nintendo wouldn't have to deal with licensors that could be potentially difficult *Cough*Konami*Cough*), no technical limitations for his return a la Ice Climbers, and he was the most popular of the characters that were in a previous Smash that wasn't already brought back (Roy and Mewtwo already returned as DLC, fans of Young Link already basically moved on to Toon Link, nobody is seriously a fan of Pichu). I have to admit, I want a Wolf amiibo really strongly. Of course, that said, I'm looking forward to Ice Climbers as well, and I'm curious as to how the Daisy amiibo is going to look compared to her Mario Bros. series amiibo.

As for the link Luigisan linked to... I saw that a day or two ago. I am skeptical, to say the least. There is exactly one scenario in which I could see Goku happening, and perhaps the biggest part of that scenario would be if they suddenly announced that Jump Force is also going to get a Switch release (which I guess we can't rule out at this point, but they haven't announced one yet, and I strongly suspect that means there isn't going to be one), along with the Switch version getting some exclusive characters like Mario and Link. Call me stubborn, but I don't buy that leak at all. It might get one or two characters right almost by accident, but I don't trust it.

Man the Wario entry in the Character page is still filled with Wario Land salt. Anyone wanna edit it (and actually notify that it has Wario World references too).

It doesn't seem to be particularly salty to be honest.

The Artifact did come off as a bit whiney.

The event mentioned in that article is just bringing the E3 demo to those expos.
