Yeah, that's the Champion's chamber in the Kalos Pokemon League building.

I sure said that!

Drasna's chamber, actually. Though it seems to tour the Elite Four, since one part showed it in the middle area.

And no, Humanoid Abomination would imply that the Wii Fit Trainer is its true form, rather than just an avatar to a much larger creature. tongue

Just saw the Nintendo Direct. Man, Sakurai has a much deeper voice than I was expecting.

A few reactions: the Wii U version has Brawl's music choice style - awesome! Bosses are... interesting in this one - being a mix between a mini-boss, a stage hazard, and something like a Smash ball. Pretty cool... but I hope you can toggle it off if you want to play stages without it. Ridley confirmed for boss (lol).

Looks like the Palutena stage is going to be the New Pork City of this one. The Mario, Pikmin and Sonic stages stood out for me - I'm a little disappointed that the 3DS and not Wii U gets Balloon Fight. I wanted to fish people using the original fish...

The separation of Fun and Glory in online sounds really freaking hilarious, not that I was planning on using online anyway. It's pretty interesting that each stage has a Final Destination.

I really wanted to pay attention to the Items section, but I was too distracted by the confirm of Mine Menace. Anyway, I love pretty much all the new items. The Back Shield is neat, though I hope it's a rarer item, and the Ferrets Bombchu looks neat as well. I love the Jetpack.

I love the Pong Assist Trophy. Midna's ability looks pretty interesting too. And hmm... if Ridley's a boss and Dark Samus is an Assist Trophy, is Samus going to get a new character at all?

The decision to separate out the powerful Pokemon from the regular ones is... interesting. I have mixed feeling about it. Also, I never knew how much I wanted an Eevee in Smash until I actually saw one. grin And I like Gogoat's ability.

No more changing stances? That's interesting... I guess that means Zelda and Shiek players won't be able to twitch strategies so easily during a match. And Phantom confirmed for Z's new move. From what little we've seen her, it looks like they're refining Shiek's combo power. That's probably to be expected.

<Kirby main> Kirby has the charged hammer shot! Granted, it's a little different than it is traditionally, but it makes perfect sense and I can't wait to use it! Though it looks like it's just a Kirby version of Dedede's move. Speaking of which, Dedede always throw's Gordo now? Well, it looks like they're less powerful and can be reflected.

Olimar's new recovery looks really good, but it looks like playing as him will require even more management to be effective. Neat, for my Olimar playing friends. Yoshi's attack speed looks a lot faster - I wonder if that just happened to everyone.

Megaman's final smash is all the Megamans teaming up. Even my favorite, Megaman.exe. That's awesome.

Greninja looks like an odd mix between Sheik and Lucario. I hope we get more info about it soon.

I love the new tunes used for the character explanations - especially the new arrangement of the Pikmin theme, Green Greens, and the Flower Garden mix (I love the guitar). I wonder if these are really character themes (especially, for instance, the Observatory rearrangement), or just the vid showing off a few stage themes via the characters.

Custom movesets? Holy mother of wtf?! That's awesome! I can't wait to get a look at how we can tinker with our characters!

Smash Run is City Trial mode from Air Ride! I loved that mode. Sweet! This game is going to be so awesome... too bad I'm not getting the 3DS version. I'm a little disappointed, since it looks like it's going to be the closest this game gets to an Adventure mode, and it's version specific. sad

Eevee in Smash until I actually saw one.

And people called me crazy for suggesting Sylveon. (Granted, that's an Eeveelution, but who's being technical?)

Custom move predictions:

Mario can change the size and speed of his Fireballs, and exchange the Fludd's nozzles.
Pit can have slower, more controllable arrows, and swap his Guardian Orbitars for higher power, less defensive Centurion Orbitars, or damage-only Paw Pad Orbitars
Kirby can switch between the (now three) different versions of his hammer move, and replace swallow with Ice.

Etc.

I think Kirby has access to both the regular Hammer swings and Hammer Flip by default. Press vs. Charge.

I sure said that!
KnownUnknown Since: Jan, 2001
#40338: Apr 8th 2014 at 10:23:51 PM

It seems more or less like Dedede's - it's a chargeable move by default, but you can release it immediately.

@ wanderlust: Hey, like I've said, I was following the marketing trends of Gen VI. Hence my intrigue at the current lack of a Mewtwo announcement. If Gen VI didn't come so quickly, I would've said Zoroark instead. (shrugs)

@ Enlong: Think that any of the custom moves will change the actual attack animations, such as giving Kirby back his Melee/Brawl Hammer?

I'm probably too deep in denial to use reason; but I doubt Sakurai would tease Ridley for months on end if he wasn't playable, as opposed to the instant deconfirmation Skull Kid, Waluigi and the rest recieved. It feels quite a bit more like the way Palutena's being danced around.

^^ We're shown Ridley's silhouette as an example as Sakurai indicates that several other stages have bosses as well. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

@ Midna: Taizo Hori is overdue for another appearance... tongue

@ Unknown: It's ambiguous enough to go either way. Either Ridley's the "boss" of the Pyrosphere stage or it's a Red Herring.

^^ If it's a red herring, why bother showing it at all - especially after a prompt indicating otherwise in an official guide to new mechanics and additions, where it would be highly misleading? I've never known Sakurai to be an especially Trolling Creator, at least not to that extent.

He might dick around and be teasing in the Miiverse, but I think we can give the things that are implied to us in Nintendo Direct a little more weight.

Ridley is Pyrosphere's boss without a doubt. The Other M version that is. Maybe the SM Rids will come through for us.

#40348: Apr 8th 2014 at 10:34:21 PM

Also, it's noticeable from his silhouette that he seems to be pretty big, though to be fair we only had Pikachu as reference. In any case, it doesn't look like they shrank him down to a more player-manageable size either.

@ Known: Hey, I have no idea what Sakurai is trying to pull — if he's trying to pull anything at all.

I'm just stating how/why some of us have come to that conclusion, especially since, as it stands, there's no direct confirmation or deconfirmation for Ridley. Never said I was banking on it (regardless of how much I've love to see a playable Ridley).

People really need to just let it go with Ridley. It's pretty clear that he's not playable, and clinging to any shred of "evidence" you can find is just going to leave you disappointed and bitter when he's not there.
