Basic design is the same, though.

Also, someone on another website pointed out that Villager's promo art uses the Brawl design... this is the first we've seen of Smash Ball 2.0.

Oh great, I was already struggling to get it before my foes do and now I'm guaranted to get my ass kicked. I just suck at hiting floaty things.

Anyways, do you think there's going to be many (if any, because we never know) unlockable characters that won't get a reveal? I made the mistake of getting Brawl way too late and didn't get the surprise of a new challenger I could unlock. I wish I could get this feeling here.

And if we do get a character reveal this week, I suppose it'll be a returning member?... I'm sorry, I'm trying to sound more professional.

The Dojo and five-month delayed release outside of Japan ensured that every newcomer was known well beforehand, so I'd say you didn't miss much. And owing to the more cryptic means the developers have chosen to release information by for SSB 4, we really can't say for certain what their stance on unlockable characters will be - it's a popular notion that the early website reveal of characters such as Toon Link and Luigi could mean that the entire roster will be available at release.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the info.

I didn't know what "Dojo" exactly was, to be honest

New Metal Gear is out tomorrow, got my fingers crossed that Snake will return.

Oh really when?

One would think Nintendo leadership would take issue with that, using their game to promote another company's game that's coming to every console but Nintendo's

...Didn't that happen with Snake's inclusion in Brawl though?

[up]Yep. Shadow Moses was based on the revisit to Shadow Moses in MGS 4, the Metal Gears that exploded the background was their models from MGS 4(there is also a chance that a Gekko appears and they were introduced in MGS 4).

Does it mean it should happen again?

Plus Kojima himself said that Snake will probably not make in. Sure, Kojima isn't exactly the most honest person, but I cam believe that he is saying the truth.

[up][up] Didn't they also do a remix of one of the songs from MGS 4 that was made specifically for Brawl?

Also, if they did decide to bring back Snake, would it be Solid Snake (who was the one they had in Brawl),or Naked/Punished Snake (who's the Snake they'll use for MGS V)?

The SSBB!Snake was a combination of MGS 2!Solid Snake and MGS 3!Naked Snake so if he showed up in For. he would probably have the design of MGSV!Big Boss but the codecs and modern weaponry of Solid/Old Snake.

Solid Snake. Considering that the only Nintendo Metal Gar game where Naked Snake has been playable is the 3DS version of Snake Eater, yeah.

Speaking of Naked Snake, I saw a birthday meme for Smash some days ago and one of the things there was "Saw Naked" (note, "naked" was capitalized) and it had no Snake in it. Totally missed a perfect joke.

Miiverse line.

So, "over a month's worth of posts", eh? Sadly, that tells us nothing about the full size of the roster, as the characters already shown would already take up over a month, when you exclude wekends where he doesn't post.

I have a message from another time...

I'd either like Big Boss from Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain or Old Snake if they're changing his design up.

Composite Snake, the "Solid Snake" who appeared in Brawl who had elements of both.tongue

Again, could someone please link to the actual Miiverse post? I'd like to know what he has to say, and I don't know where to find them.

If I were a Nintendo exec, I'd be mad that one of our biggest console sellers was being used to push something on other consoles, especially considering how big a role Snake got in Brawl. I'd be disappointed if I were SEGA, too.

When someone's wishlist begins with Strongbad, Bane and Batman, my respect for the fanbase shrinks 3 sizes. It's just completely missing the point of everything in this series.

Creative control justifies the fact that much of the Metal Gear content in Brawl was an MGS 4 advertisement, but using the Ground Zeroes launch to counter-promote is another matter, I would say.

Edit: Oh my, some people are interpreting his comment as meaning there are only a month's worth of characters period. Word of Dante is going to kill this game before we get more final details by E3.

Having Snake return for Smash wouldn't be bad for Smash I don't think

Hell I'm a huge Metal Gear fan and hearing that he was in the game really put getting it firmly at the top of my to do list

They could probably treat the MGS content similarly to Brawl, by using assets relevant to both Snake Eater / Metal Gear (NES); and MGSV. Using Naked / Big Boss as the playable Snake, having a TX-55, Mantis or Ocelot appear as a boss/hazard/assist trophy; and a possible Outer Heaven stage could all serve the function of representing the series' appearances on Nintendo consoles while being relevant to MGSV.

Don't forget Twin Snakes! A Metal Gear REX boss fight would be cool.

Clearly, we are getting a Ghost Babel stage.tongue

Seriously, while Nintendo isn't going to outdo the Playstations in Metal Gears, they have a decent number, even if most of them are noncanon. NES Metal Gear, Snake's Revenge, Ghost Babel, Twin Snakes, and Snake Eater 3D, yah?

Well, it's more alternate canon than noncanon. He at least doesn't seem to dislike it as much as Portable Ops.

I sure said that!
