Maybe it had something to do with the game's aesthetic?

Kusakihara: (Laughs) Well, they're there...they're just...omitted a little bit. The idea was to add a unique sort of deformation to the characters. As for why it ended up like this... At the start of the project, we weren't entirely sure how many bones and joints we'd be able to use in each character model. As it is now, there's a joint at the knees, and then there's nothing below that for the ankles and the feet. This makes it a bit easier to apply animation to models as well. We found out afterward that, with the 3DS, we had more than enough CPU strength available to flesh out the models a bit, add real ankles and so on. We were like "Well, if there's a next time, maybe there'll be more ankles..." (laughs)

It's incredibly annoying how Ask Iwata writes down [laughs] for the slightest chuckle. On the plus side, it contributed to Sakurai's image as a Troll.

So, feetless Awekening is a failed attempt at chibifying and not knowing your system specs then...

Eh, not like it ruins anything, but just looks fricken weird.

So I was thinking about the trailers that have vets in them as well as newcomers and it led me to this theory:

If we get a Rhythm Heaven character (which even with the Gematsu leak getting blown to pieces, seems likely with the inclusion of the Sneaky Spirit in Smash Run), the trailer for them will be the trailer that will also reveal Wario, sense RH and Wario Ware were created by the same team and their art styles are incredibly similar.

Just a though.

[up]That makes a ton of sense, good idea.

Still not enthusiastic about the idea of seeing a Rhythm Heaven character (and that's coming from someone who loves the one on the DS), but that could work. I still have no idea how the actual Rhythm Heaven character would work though.

Wario with Rhythm Heaven. ROB with Shulk. Simultaneous Dixie and K. Rool reveal. The possibilities are endless now.

Put Samus in Shulk's reveal trailer.

Shulk: "Everyone! We need to attack our enemy, but not kill it! There is a Homs in there!"

Samus: "Uh..."

It would also make sense because Ashley's design in this game is based of Game&Wario, which had a Rhythm Heaven cameo. And that cameo was.....oh my....

Sakurai has continuously shown how amazingly well he is at concocting movesets. I'm not particularly hyped for the Chorus Boys in any way, but I think it's safe to have faith that Sakurai would manage to make some kind of gem out of them.

But yeah, with the Gematsu leak pretty much dead (or at least "Paul Gale'd", according to Game FA Qs), the roster possibilities have opened up again. Now to put my money on the three R's (Rayman, Ridley, and Rool). tongue

Speaking of Game FA Qs, I decided to be masochistic again and give it a look. The Chrom salt there is just fantastic.

Has the Falcon Punch always had a flame in the shape of a Falcon?

How have I not noticed it until now?

I'm not noticing a lot with the series.

Par for the course with me. I need to look at things multiple times or have someone else point them out to me.

I will accept a Rhythm Heaven character if and only if their playstyle involves combos in time with the background music.

If a rhytm game based combo mechanic gets in, it would probably make it's own music.

Has anyone yet pointed out one of Robin's lines in the trailer?

"I'm no ordinary swordsman!"

Oh, Sakurai. You knew exactly why people didn't want Chrom. For all his trolling, I must respect someone who knows the fans that well.

so where's Ridley

Ooh, Gold Falcon looks good, and I like how the Metal Box texture looks on the 3D version.
