I think people are largely just getting bored with character discussion in general. There's not really a whole lot of characters that consistently stay on the front page anyways. Honestly, I think a lot of fervor for the Smash Ballot has just about fizzled out and now people are just waiting to see what all is announced at E3.
Anybody know when E3 2015 is btw? Google won't tell me. Is it not announced yet? From what I've seen, though, it's usually held in June?
June 15-18. If the tradition is kept, Nintendo's presentation will be in the morning on June 16th and be about an hour long.
Normally yes but Square Enix took their usual time and is having their press conference then.
Does that mean that Nintendo's presentation won't be an hour long, or perhaps won't even be in the morning, and instead, the afternoon?
I often worry about this thread too. Sure it doesn't get as much traffic as say, the Wolf thread, but there are plenty of ICies supporters here and other places as well. As of now, we shouldn't worry about Smash DLC before E3 in terms of major announcements. @I don't want this thread to die
The Ice Climbers areonetwo of the biggest glues that have held the fan base of brawl together (and simultaniously split it up 'cause chain grabs - basically M2K getting salty) at all due to the dual-character mechanic, and it made the game feel fresh as it opened up a new way to play and a new way that they need to be handled. I could see a large number of grab combos open up with IC in the picture such as a down throw to spike spike to jab-reset regrab utilising the spike on Nana's hammer and the ice blocks to jab reset and force a neutral getup, allowing for a safe regrab. Other characters have guaranteed regrab combos at low percents (e.g. assuming that the opponent is not a floaty and is at 0-2%, Mario is able to perform down throw-->up tilt-->up tilt-->grab-->down throw-->up tilt-->jab-->grab (no pummeling) to get two further guaranteed grabs, leading into a down throw-->up tilt-->up air chain), but these are very limited (i.e. very low percents). The dual character nature of the Ice Climbers means that they should be able to keep this going for far longer than other characters, and they could even theoretically do a grab release-->ice block flinch-->regrab to ensure that they can regrab up to high percents (utilising the release animation to desync and be able to regrab frame-perfectly due to not being locked into an ice block animation with the other climber). The more I think about it, the more interesting their grab game sounds and the new mechanics will shake up their playstyle enough to make them feel fresh. I am getting SO excited just thinking about the way that they could work around the new mechanics that I want them back now more than ever!

said it better. People are getting burnt out by DLC character discussion and I think I'll just sit back, play all the Smash games, play ICies in Melee, Brawl, and PM, and just wait before E3 so I don't have an anxiety attack. We can relax for now since many character discussions have been unwinding.I personally wouldn't have thought it were as unfair with the Ice Climbers specifically if 3DS owners weren't going to get them anyway. I do feel cheated by the 3DS version for being the cause during the development period that caused one of my mains to get cut and hearing about it a whole month before Mewtwo was announced who I was especially anxious to have back in. Sure I've enjoyed my time with the 3DS version, but the Wii U version is my go-to. It would be a cheap marketing tactic if they made other more easily compatible veterans exclusive to one version, or worse, newcomers. I mean, this was their logic basically: "The Ice Climbers are not in the Wii U version because of the 3DS version." I'll say it again: "The Ice Climbers are not in the Wii U version because of the 3DS version." It's like I was stabbed in the back as an ICies main for owning a Wii U. Also the 8-Player Smash rumor is complete bull because of the lack of evidence and yet people still believe it's a factor held against them.
Do veterans generally get support lists? I know they can, but they don't get them as commonly as newcomers do. If there is one, I hope that I'd be on it.Is their a support list for this thread? If so, i'd like to be on it.

I wonder what kind of training method she used to get that buff.
Dang it, you beat me to it! (Then again, this thread has refused to send me notifications for a week). I'm ready for E3...we need a Smash DLC bomb. ICies, Wolf, and maybe someone else would be awesome!!!
Well hopefully your notifications will cooperate and hopefully we'll get at least one more character announcement during E3. By the way, you said a while ago that you'd be making an Ice Climbers ad. How's that going along? Is it finished?
With the picture I have been basing it off of, it's hard to get Popo's feet right. But once I get that, I just need to color it. I've got a huge project at school, and that's been eating time as well.

I pretty much expect ICies or Wolf at E3 this year for Smash 4 DLC.I am honestly hoping the Ice Climbers at E3.
The most unlikely of my returning veterans it would sweet if I got both back.
Wolf for E3.
Nana obviously skipped entering the initial roster line up because she and Popo got married, as you can see that she's wearing a wedding ring now so its totally obv sakurai just lied about them not working on 3ds to keep it on the down low obv
I'd say probably 2 characters for DLC 2016. We'll have to see what Nintendo does from there.
Shoot! I didn't get them a vegetable or something! Lol, would make sense though.
They're not brother and sister. Nintendo never confirmed their relationship. You can believe they're brother and sister, I'll believe they're friends that like each other.
This clip from the Melee opening might hint at them being possible lovers.
Ive definitely always seen them as really close twins.This clip from the Melee opening might hint at them being possible lovers.
But it could also just mean they are really close siblings.
It definately means one of the two.This clip from the Melee opening might hint at them being possible lovers.
But it could also just mean they are really close siblings.
My thoughts exactly.
I think of them as young lovers. I agree that they're kids yes, but I just find it more fun to think of them as young lovers over siblings. Nevertheless, we all love this little duo, which is why I have created...

Recolor =/= alt.
You know what I mean XD
