@Grimer: Ah! I'd completely forgotten!

(I've only played the first two, though. I started Bowser's Inside Story but I got sidetracked by other things and never went back to it. Planning on restarting it when I have time.)

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

[up]x2 Ah, that's a shame. I think that's my favourite of the lot.

@Muk: I'm really behind on my gaming. I don't know which I'm going to restart first, that or Pokemon Black (which I only got like two or three towns into...and then there's still its sequel, followed by X or Y...). And then maybe one day eventually I might get to finishing Okami, and starting the umpteen other games I have sitting in my room unplayed.

I definitely know that feel.

And yet I'm constantly complaining about not having games to play.

Okay, so it's a reference to Spirit Tracks speciically, rather than both it and Phantom Hourglass.

I want to again point out the other image showing Zelda in a later frame of the same pose. Which togeher look like the animation for Zelda's jab move. You know, the one where she sticks out her left arm to throw out a little blast of magic.

What I'm saying is that, unless we're to think the Phantom appears, slashes, and vanishes, in he length of time it takes for Zelda to extend her arm fully, I believe we've seen enough to see that it's not possible for the Phantom to be part of Zelda's moveset.

Wait, doesn't Zelda have a taunt with that animation in Brawl?

It could be possible it's a Move that uses a near identical animation too.

IMO, it's too hard to say. I also don't know where we can properly mention the Phantom existing. Besides it existing on her page.

No, it's a different animation for her taunt.

But that doesn't matter. Her jab has right animation, so it's perfect for machinima.

And if you're not sure, just put it on the main page. I don't remember if Shout-Out or Mythology Gag is the right one to use; one of those though. Note that a Phantom, from Spirit Tracks, is in the game. No reason to put it on Zelda's character sheet yet.

Taunts have changed among the games, so who knows.

Also, Kirby's taunt is different between Melee and Brawl, although mainly it's just the voice.(in the USA version at least)

Anyway, sharing animations for some different moves isn't outright impossible.

I do lean towards it being an unsaid Assist Trophy, though. Well, Starfy was possibly one, so...

Starfy was previously an Assist trophy, so he probably felt it went without saying, and chose to emphasize the "look at all these yellow people!" joke instead.

The Phantom was unsaid because its screenshot was part of a character page instead of a daily update. Everything in Zelda's page is an unsaid screenshot, y'see.

Oh, and no, that particular taunt is still here.

You know, if Twinrova was a playable character, and Snake was in the game, the latter would surely poke fun at their respective ages.

To be honest I think Starfy is probably a boss. Sakurai is totally the type of person who would do that, because of his Kirby bias.

Ah, but that would make Starfy a threat. If he is mocking Starfy, would it not be more efficient to keep him as a non-invulnerable Assist Tropy?

Not that I'm saying he is mocking Starfy. I'm kinda over that assumption.

"Starfy is a boss"

Great, now I'm imagining it walking across a stage Ultra-Peepi style.

The two taunts do match up so far with the Wii U and 3DS pictures. They look kind of similar to the one where the Phantom appears. Odd. Idle animation?

Even so, it's hard to say.

Status for it is too vague right now. :/

Two taunts? I linked to one. The pose in the Phantom picture and the "She stole Link!" picture look nothing like previous taunts of hers, and look quite like her jab.

On the subject of the Phantom, I found another interesting "leak". While not everything in the "leak" has been accurate, enough of it matches up that it's got some hint of legitimacy to it:

Diddy Kong is back. [Check]

Minecart Madness is a new Wii U stage.

[Ms. Tetris] is a newcomer. (No name is actually specified in the message. It is just known that the newcomer uses Tetris blocks and other puzzle things to fight, so I refer to her Ms. Tetris.) [!!!]

Diddy Kong and [Ms. Tetris] will be revealed this month. [Half-check - this was in February]

The Master Ball is a new item.

Adventure Mode has a desert level, a factory level, and a volcano level.

Shadow Moses Island returns.

Zelda and Rosalina share the ability to summon a controllable helper. Zelda’s is slow and strong, while Rosalina’s is fast and weak. [Check for Rosalina, possible check for Zelda]

Palutena is a new fighter. [Possible check, if that leaked screencap is legit]

Lip’s Stick returns. [!!!]

The Rosalina and Zelda part I think is the most interesting and relevant out of all of this. Rosalina does indeed have a fast and flimsy battle partner in the form of Luma, while it's quite possible Zelda's slow, strong co-attacker is the Phantom we see in her screenshot gallery.

It doesn't take a genius, however, to figure out which part of the leak puts the biggest, dopiest grin on my face.

Female character. Fights with puzzle implements. Lip's Stick is still around.

Risking your lives for a pointless discussion, can one lead to the reveal of a new character or hinder the waiting line?

[up] Hell yeah, I want Smash to have a minecart stage!
