Do you think we'll be able to download a demo at any point?

Huh. It's cool they have weight customization as well. That'll actually be really fun to play around with. grin

Dammit, I'm going to the states as an European and will probably have no access to the web whatsoever. At this point I'm just really happy to have any sort of news concerning Sm4sh. But oh well, at least I have a chance to visit the Nintendo World.

New hope: Ganondorf gets a proper moveset, but fans of his old one can replicate it by taking Captain Falcon and making him super slow and heavy.

Better for Ganondorf to get a sword or maybe some ranged dark magic as his default, but his Captain Ganon moveset as an option. You can even choose between the Gerudo Dragon or the Flame Choke side-B.

Honestly, Brawl changed quite a few of his A moves to help declonify him at least a little, he just needs some sword animations for some of his A moves, and his Neutral B move needs to be Dead Man's Volley. His Down B and Up B could change too, but they're less pressing.

So, concerning that event I mentioned, seems like we already got rumors of a leak going for it from a guy claiming to work at Bandai-Namco.

The important bits:

  • Almost everyone from Brawl comes back except for Snake, Lucas, and Wolf (these are the only ones he said, no specifying over Squirtle, Ivysaur or Ice Climbers).
  • There will be a Shulk reveal "at an event coming up soon."(he says "I’m not sure which one it is, there’s been talk of them revealing him at an event coming out soon, they’re most likely deciding which event to reveal him at, but if there are any events coming up with Nintendo showing up, Keep an eye out for him")
  • Ness, Captain Falcon, Luigi, R.O.B., Game and Watch, and Falco are all unlockables.
  • Smash Wii U releases in Mid-December
  • "There are only around 4 new playable characters you haven’t seen" (other than the aforementioned Shulk, he mentions Chrom being picked over Robin/Awakening Avatar after heavy debating and concerns towards Chrom over movesets and similarities to Marth and Ike).
  • New stages include N’s Castle from Pokemon and Prison Island from Xenoblade
  • New ATs include Lucina from Fire Emblem and "Any Character that have been in an 8, 16, or 32 Bit game (For example, 8 Bit Mario.)"
  • Smash Wii U gets custom Event Matches

This one has so much "trying too hard" in it it's not even funny (any characters with one gets his/her sprite as an AT? Really?), but keep your eyes peeled, I guess?

I personally think Shulk will be the customary August reveal. Chorus Kids feel like they would make a good G&W like surprise, and Chrom won't be too exciting since we already have Ike. Of course I also thought Palutena wouldn't be revealed at E3, so I apparently don't know much.

I feel like if we get any more newcomer reveals, Shulk or the third FE rep would be the only possible options. Everybody else I could think of that could be a newcomer at this point (Chorus Men, Isaac, King K. Rool) would be better for a secret/revealed at launch type thing.

Even though I don't think he'll return, I still like to think that Lucas is still in. He was my main in Brawl.

On the other hand, I don't think Sakurai would ever want to remove a character created by Itoi. The man is a huge deal in Japan, especially amongst Nintendo devs.

I sure said that!

What a safe list.

I have a message from another time...

"Releases in mid-December"

I'm calling fake on that basis alone. I doubt Nintendo will let this release after Black Friday which puts it at mid-November at the latest. I'm fine with the other stuff except for Isaac and Ridley getting left out of the newcomer roster.

The Wii U version is currently set for a holiday release. I'm not sure what that means in business terms, but my first guess would be December.

Maybe Japan thinks of it as something else but I assumed that means holiday shopping season. That starts in November with Black Friday in the US.

Holiday Relase means anywhere from roughly the second week or so of November to Christmas.

Wasn't some recent console released after Black Friday?

I think it was weight customization for Miis, not normal characters.

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but I always find that Max has great fighting game feedback. His reaction to the 3DS version.

I might be alone in this, but while I don't find either of them likely cuts, I think Wolf is slightly less likely for the next game than Lucas, if just because a franchise going from 3 characters to 2 seems more likely than 2 to 1.

I consider Wolf to be more likely than Falco to get in. He's far more unique than Falco and having both the hero and his rival is a better grouping than the hero and The Lancer. I'm probably alone in thinking this, though.

Wolf and Falco both feel like locks, considering that Star Fox is getter a new game.

Now's it's Shulk Time!

[up][up]I would certainly prefer Wolf. I actually think they have about the same odds. Falco has been in more Smash Bros games while Wolf is (arguably) more popular and has more movement potential.

I expect that both come back though.

[up][up] Irrelevant. The roster was one of the first things finalized about the game and work on the new Star Fox probably only began a couple of months ago at best.
