I'm back. I was busy. So I took a look at those leaks... Why do I get the feeling it's fake? I want it to be real because that can improve Bandana Dee's chances of getting in, but a part of me is disappointed. I know how this goes down: Everyone's excited. New Nintendo Direct. Leak confirmed fake.

Was about to edit the Rundas thread, scrolling through the CD boards, saw the thread was popping, thought I'd pop in. What's up, Bandanna Boyz?

It's supposed to be a fight in Classic Mode and the game oddly took them to Battlefield instead of Dream Land. It's assumed that this is a placeholder for Dream Land 64.
But it's not just that! Sonic's in the battle despite not being a Kirby character. The same thing that's happening with the stage is happening with Sonic. You see, the game thinks you bought the DLC but you didn't, so it substitutes it with a random character, that character (at least in this case) being Sonic.

Then that could mean... More Kirby and Sonic fighters?

I actually doubt Bandana Dee will get a lot of hate, and if he gets some, I don't care because a lot of newcomers got hate and nobody cares.

:4villager: "Why? Nobody wanted this, where is my Mewtwo?!"
:4wiifit: "Seriously? SERIOUSLY?"
:rosalina: "What? Space Peach? She is so unimportant"
:4palutena: "Sakurai is so biased, she was not needed and just look at that fan service!"
:4mii: "So generic and stupid"
:4pacman: "Pac-Man? He is not close to Nintendo, get out of my Smash!"
:4robinm: "Who?"
:4shulk:"Oh great, another unknown anime character"
:4duckhunt: "Who wanted this?"
:4bowserjr: "I wanted a paintbrush moveset!!! And also ... more Mario characters? Staph Sakurai!"
:4lucina::4darkpit: "Muh characters slots!"
Ehh

I wouldn't say Villager was hated, and the hate for Robin was because people wanted Chrom. Shulk was also positively received, but I get the main point overall. perfectionist :'c

If BD gets any hate though, it'll probably be "sakurai bias!!".

Sakurai bias is a bad excuse. Super Smash Bros. is partially named after Super Mario Bros., in every character cutscene Mario is portrayed as the main character, Mario has the most reps, the most stages, most remixes. If anything he's biased to Mario, now.

Well, Mario IS kinda like the flagship series to Nintendo and the reason why SSB exist in the first place. He would be kinda stupid not give Mario a lot of attention. Plus, Miyamoto works with Sakurai on the games, so of course they'll be lots of Mario.
Say what is everyone opinion on Sakurai?
You cannot grasp the complexities and dimensions of Sakurai's personality and thoughts enough to form a proper opinion on him...

I have friends who said those things.
I'm talking about normal people, not hardcore Smash fans.
Normal people don't even know who Chrom is.


Also, I don't know if this is normal, but I had a dream about Smash XDDD
It was a nightmare.
In my dream, Sakurai included Magolor as the newcomer and Bandana Dee as a background character.
It was similar to the Robin/Chrom situation, because Magolor has more "moveset potential" than Bandana Dee.
I liked Magolor, but I was really, REALLY dissapointed.

Mario isn't in because of bias. Sakurai was basically told to put Mario into his fighting game idea which was originally going to be a new IP. Because Nintendo loves putting Mario into anything so as to play it safe with new gameplay ideas. For instance, Nintendo making a Mario Puzzles & Dragons Z. He's probably told to put in more Mario because 1. Mario is the main flagship nintendo franchise 2. Mario is very popular, 3 mario characters and stages are safe choices as well.

My opinion about Sakurai is.... I don't exactly 100% like ALL his ideas but I still think he's a genius. HE KNOWS FUN MULTIPLAYER. Even though I wasn't into KI:Uprising single player as much as others, his multplayer for that game was GREAT FUN, City Trial mode was an all new idea and concept for a racing game and that is a cult classic mode, fun co-op with a variety of moves achieved by becoming any of the various helpers in KSS, AND the smash brothers series itself. HE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE PLAYING WITH OTHERS ADDICTIVE AND FUN. He is creative, out of the box, and a risk taker. When he worked on KSS he threw out the linear gameplay idea and wasn't afraid to break the game up into different gameplay styles that gave us unique gamepay progression in a new way. He wasn't afraid to change what could be done with racing in karts back when every other game was mostly just reaching the end of the track.

Say what you will of Sakurai but that's just how his track record is. It's why I miss him making Kirby game tbh. He's really the only director in the whole series to do something as bold as he did in KSS. The rest of the Kirby games are all good but standard experiences where there's a main mode, a few mini games, and never really a switch up in the entire gameplay. Which is fine and games like RtDL and Triple Deluxe were great regardless but there's that boldness gone ya know?

Also Sakurai is cute. <3

False, Sakurai was the one who made it with Nintendo characters and showed a prototype which included Mario, Link, Samus and Kirby, Nintendo liked the prototype and approved

Pretty sure I had read somewhere that it was originally suppose to be "Dragon King: The Fighting Game" Than again it still doesn't negate the other points about Mario being the main Nintendo franchise, safe, and popular..

Source? Wikipedia says it's Mario, DK, Samus and Fox(and the source for that is apparently some magazine which can't be traced).

A HUGE hypocrite (Then again we don't know what goes down in the office), A genius, A overworker, a bit bias. But a great person.


The recent 5 slots discovered makes me scared tho they could add more + we got a better chance seeing there is a new Kirby stage and they didn't have a reason to add it. Lets just cross our fingers

Could have sworn it was Kirby and Link...Oh well

Sakurai secretly changed it to smash to boost sales

Well it seems more like we'll be getting a Kirby character more than a Sonic character, but I never thought of that! Maybe, but since the game was tricked into thinking it was a Kirby character it could more likely be the latter.

Alright guys, I just found out that this is my last day with Internet. ;( I'll probably get it back in the Summer. Maybe I'll go to the library, but I'll find other ways to communicate. I will still support the Dee!

Other characters other than the series icon can appear in Classic battles so Sonic may not be much of a big deal. Plus, Battlefield is the go-to stage for 14 placeholders (7 omega 7 normal) and I'm not sure if Sonic would be a placeholder.

Honestly though, were there people who wanted chrom? I thought it was just people who jumped on the gematsu bandwagon
