Damn it, I just want some more info on this game already! I know they already reveal a shit ton of info at E3 but god almighty to wait until November for more info?

I figure Gamescom & TGS would be the next stop for Ultimate?

Sakurai has stated he doesn't pick characters from games that don't have a future

Counterpoints: Ice Climbers, Duck Hunt Duo, Dr. Mario.

Regardless of his cult fanbase he's still a one-off character from a 20+ year old game.

i was referring to the skeleton

What skeleton? I see Mantorok, a deity, and Pious Augustus, a lich. No skeletons.

I know you were talking about Pious, I was joking. I'd actually really like if he got in, though I wonder if Nintendo would let him use his spine staff.

A lot of people are forgetting these are more guidelines, not hard rules. Often, he doesn't pick characters from a series that doesn't have a future. It means that they're simply less likely, not impossible. Things like retros are obviously a different category regardless of this.

His biggest hard rule is "must originate in a video game", while the rest are more guidelines he often follows, but can ignore in certain situations.

I'd argue that the Dr. Mario doesn't really qualify as having 'no future' or being a one-off, considering it's Mario in a lab coat and there have been more than one Dr. Mario game.

But yeah, that stuff was more guidelines than written in stone rules. Still marks against potential characters, but not a deal breaker.

I'd rather have Lawyer Luigi.

He's still an Echo of Dr. Mario, though.

[up]Was there actually a Lawyer Luigi? Because my statement was mostly based on this existing:

Dr. Luigi will actually be replacing regular Luigi.

'But Lava, Luigi's already been confirmed and been featured'

Actually, they created a fully developed regular Luigi just to throw people off. Sakurai wants Dr. Luigi to be a real surprise.

I actually did come up with an idea for Dr. Luigi being an Echo Fighter for Dr. Mario on this forum a while back.

I could get down for a Dr. Luigi echo for either Dr. Mario or Luigi, or maybe as an alternate skin, though I don't really expect it to happen. Admittedly there are probably other choices of similar development time that would excite people more.

Tried thinking of ideas for possible DLC alternate costumes for at least most of the characters (the ones not listed here, I either couldn't come up with costume ideas or just didn't care to).

If it's alright with you guys, I would like to talk about potential new stages now. I have more, but for now I just wanna share two ideas I had real quick;

  • Mario Party: Based off of the spin-off series of the same name, the stage itself would just be a generic board game not based off of any board in particular, but would have multiple references to many of the games in the series. Shy Guys would be the participants of the stage's "party" similar to how they're all the racers in the Mario Kart stages, and the major gimmick of this stage would be transitioning to multiple minigames throughout the series' history, like Coin Shower Flower from the first game and/or Rotisserie Rampage from DS.
  • Lorule Field: Since Zelda has her Link Between Worlds design, I think it would be fair to expect a stage from that game. The idea is that it would be a large, canyon-like stage similar to Gaur Plains.

I just want a Bowser's Castle stage. I'm surprised there hasn't even been one yet.

Or a Donkey Kong stage based on either the Minecart Madness or Fear Factory stages from Donkey Kong Country. I mean, I'd personally prefer some more love for DKC2 (like, say Krazy Kremland, or a Zinger hive), but I can't deny that the former is just more iconic.

Honestly, even just having a skin for Peach's Castle(Melee) as a Bowser design would be good enough at this point.

Actually, wasn't Mushroomy Kingdom basically a stage with an "echo" design anyway? It had 1-1 and 1-2 as options, with no differences beyond the aesthetics.

That's what I meant earlier with Peach's Castle(Melee).
