Hey Medusa fans, long time no speak! Just thought I'd share for those who might not have seen so far that Sakurai talked about Kid Icarus Uprising recently as part of the Harada's Bar series on YouTube (it was also highlighted in Nintendo Life). Nice to see him talking about his old series at...

Captain Toad game-related items and moves to consider for Smash: Pickax (normal for neutral moves and then blue, glowing and barely under Toad's control for Super Pickax smash moves) Turnip (thrown projectiles, perhaps with less variety of turnip types compared to Peach/Daisy but able to pluck...

It might be worth keeping an eye on rumoured new releases for the Switch in the next couple of years. I agree that at least one (I think more) of Nintendo’s choices will likely be marketing-based so, as with the new Animal Crossing and Isabelle in Smash, they may sync the DLC announcements with...

I know gravity magic is a big thing with Rosalina and her space-themed “mother of stars” schtick is a large part of who she is as a character but in Super Mario Galaxy there are storybook cutscenes revealed chapter by chapter as a bedtime story Rosalina reads to the Lumas each night which is...

I want Kamek just as much as anyone else but I’m gonna play devil’s advocate here - characters who are already represented by a cameo on a Smash stage are typically prevented from becoming a fully fledged fighter in Smash, AFAIK. I’m thinking of Birdo, Captain Toad, Viridi and Kamek (or at least...

Yes! This is how I pictured it too! Nice work. I would’ve been tempted with a broomstick ride alternative to the float for characters like Kamek, Witch or Twinrova but I guess that could just be a customised float if the Mii is equipped with a broom instead of a Gandalf staff (if we’re allowed...

Why is she keeping her hair the same color this time? Aren’t there supposed to be blonde, black and dark green variants? Also, Samus got to keep a dark look alt color even when Dark Samus was announced. Pit has a black alt color too. You know, I always wonder why they never made a generic...

Oh darn you're right - it says here it's an Amazon Pandora inspired color not a Phosphora color which of course would have to be white and blue... That would make sense too as they show a Pandora skin during the demo. Oh well back to the drawing board...

DreamZeroX had a good point on this (and it was a good spot too by the way!) They could've used the Medusa or Dark Pit skin for "Dark Palutena" when she is red-eyed and standing next to Ganondorf in the Spirits Mode trailer but they didn't, they used the Phosphora skin. Ganondorf's color scheme...

The two elements Medusa uses for most of her attacks are shadow and poison; plenty of Smash characters have shadow attacks but up until now AFAIK there hasn't been a unique poison effect added into the game - they usually just apply shadow effect. The fact that they have gone to the trouble of...

I saw a Medusa head spirit but it had two eyes while also being ugly so assumed it was Castlevania Medusa getting some exposure... again. When Sakurai was introducing the story mode cinematics during his "before we go..." speech and he said they were going to show us how the spirits became what...

Get hyped everybody! The last Nintendo Direct announced for this Thursday - 40 minutes long! https://smashboards.com/threads/super-smash-bros-ultimate-direct-confirmed-for-november-1st.462937/ Make your dark sacrifices to Yuga-Ganon now while we still have a chance...

YES! Finally this drought will end! I would like a Story Mode (with new fancy cinematics) and some surprise characters. I want the most convincing leaks on characters so far to have all been red herrings to throw us off. Bring me Kid Icarus Medusa! Bring me Dixie! Bring me Hilda! ...and I’m...

How about this - if Sakurai announced Medusa in Smash followed by a teaser for a new Kid Icarus game coming on Switch, what sort of role would you like Medusa to have in the new KI game? In Uprising she had a brief moment at the end where she was temporarily allied with Palutena and Pit against...

This plus DefinitelyNotSascha's moveset reminded me how much I like Kamek. So full of character, humor and personality, and a good nemesis character to bring in just to give that lonely Yoshi series egg icon a little more representation. Add me onto the support list when you gain control of it...
