Saki Amamiya is kinda pretty.

I think it'd be sweet if they gave some love to long-forgotten Nintendo characters. I think I've mentioned Wart and Tatanga, but what about Boshi or Foreman Spike? Seriously, two Mario games in space and Tatanga didn't even get a cameo...

I was a little disappointed to see Saki isn't playable since Sakurai specifically mentioned on the Brawl dojo that he'd gotten a number of requests for him, and Sin & Punishment got a sequel since then.

I guess they could still have Isa and/or Kachi be playable, and they just didn't show a unique Sin & Punishment emblem with Saki since it would've given away that it's getting more stuff, but probably not. Oh well.

...As long as Isaac's in.

And then, three weeks before for Wii U comes out, Sakurai asks everyone which Assist Trophy character should be made playable. Saki wins in a landslide, and is included as free DLC for both versions on launch day.

... Theoretically.

I sure said that!

Oh, here's a good one: President Koopa. B special would be the Fire Flower Flamethrower, Side B would be him running like a madman screaming "PLUMBEEEEEER!!!", Up B would have him use a bob-omb explosion to propel himself through the air, and down B would have him summon a Koopa Troop officer, Goomba, or a pizza delivery boy at random, ala De De De's Side B, with the pizza restoring health. Final Smash would have him use a devo gun on himself to transform into the T-Rex-like "Supa Koppa" and these would be his taunts: "A monkey!", "Bob-omb!", "You filthy mammal!" Win quotes: "Looks like I win!"(Nod) (Smack, smack)"Where's my pizza?" "Sir, your pizza's here." "Not Now."

*googles* Huh, Isa has a pretty sexy outfit. XD So I'd support him for playable.

Saki'd be a fine choice though. It'd be awesome to battle with her and Samus Aran.

Saki's a guy.

A fairly pretty guy, sure, but a guy.

Also, he turns into a giant bio-mecha type thing after falling in an ocean of blood.

@Pulse: And not impossible. Sakurai outright said "Anything in this Direct could change before release."

However, the release is super soon, so I'm skeptical anyway of any completely confirmed(as in items/assists/etc.) characters playing a new role.

@Red M: Hey, if Little Mac can bring a Technical Fighting game style in, I could see Pico being a joke expy of a DBZ character in fighting style. It could actually be interesting. Not much warranted for it, and maybe some of the other F-Zero characters might fit more. Didn't Black Shadow and/or Deathborn have any actual powers or something? Anime or otherwise?

[up] I could see a neat magical fighter in either of them to that degree. Or a funny DB expy. We kind of have no one really akin to those kind of fighters in Smash. And barely any beam attacks anyway.

Might be interesting. Which one's the main villain of the overall series?

Shadow?

Hard to say for the main F-Zero > X > GX timeline. Black Shadow is the face of the BS Group and has been around since X, but GX makes it fairly clear that Deathborn is in fact a superior to him.

In the GP Legend/Legend of Falcon storyline, Deathborn is one of Black Shadow's more feared disguises. That series also ended with that now-famous Falcon Punch scene.

Do you think the polar bear enemy things showing up means the Ice Climbers have good chance of returning?

#41719: Apr 16th 2014 at 7:31:53 PM

[up] I think as soon as Rosalina & Luma along with Olimar & Pikmin showed up, they were pretty likely already. Ultimately, that sounds like a "please confirm them already" point. Highly likely, like 99% chance, imo.(1% because Sakurai is unpredictable)

[up][up] Are those two different storylines? Because I thought they were different people. >_< Or maybe GP Legend is supposed to be anime-based in the same sense as Pokemon Yellow was and doesn't follow the regular games' storylines.

Likely. It'd be really wrong to put in enemies of characters you're taking out.

It'd be like putting in the red, yellow and blue viruses without putting in Dr. Mario.

...they should put in the red, yellow and blue viruses.

[up][up]Yeah, The storylines branch from the first game into X and then GX, while the other one is GP Legend and the anime. There's a third storyline for F-Zero Climax, but it's pretty tangentially to the series overall, especially since Falcon isn't properly in it.

I always felt like Black Shadow with Ganondorf's old moveset (buffed, of course) would be a good way to:

A) Get a new F-Zero rep;

B) Keep Ganondorf's old moveset in the game while;

C) Updating Ganondorf to reflect how he actually fights in the Legend Of Zelda games.

[up][up]Mario's fireballs confirmed for playable character.

[up][up] Ah, okay. Well, I could see Sakurai going for any of them. Depends what storyline he likes too.

His current Brawl scarf is taken from GP Legend, but Deathborn is unmentioned in SSB itself. Doesn't mean much for whether Sakurai would bother to consider Deathborn and Black Shadow the same, though.

I've noticed many sites in the past when making up fun little scenarios calling Falcon's black/grey costume his "Black Shadow" costume, but this is from the F-Zero Expansion Kit, anyway. Just a funny note. That said, due to this, I could see Black Shadow as a potential character, regardless of Deathborn(who'd make a fun costume). However, maybe he could have an alternate based upon Deathborn anyway. Even if they aren't the same person, this means little. We had alts for a Daisy lookalike, Blood Falcon, even Mario has a Wario-like costume and Luigi has a blue one akin to Waluigi. Never mind the Dark Link ones...

In GX's story mode, both Black Shadow and Deathborn are shown to have magical abilities, like teleportation portals and energy swords.

...I would laugh so hard if Black Shadow were to show up as a sword-wilding dark sorcerer, and Ganondorf continued to be a heavier Captain Falcon.

I have a message from another time...
