Now here's a good question: Where do you think Shadow will end up in the tier placement relative to Sonic? Pit and his echo are ranked the same, and Lucina is several steps down from Marth. Depending on how Shadow shapes up, I could see him being higher than the blue blur, especially if he has...

I remember after the E3 presentation when Sakurai said there would be fewer newcomers, I had the pessimistic estimate that there were only 3 fighters left to reveal, and of those three, two would be echoes: K. Rool, Dark Samus, and Shadow. Although I was incorrect on my estimate, two of my...

Honestly, I don't care for either track, but All of Me flows better and is less oblique. I'd prefer the track from Radical Highway, as that's the first level Shadow is ever playable in.

Mario Bros Z. was the jam back in the day.

Thanks for the info. I guess it might as well be that Shadow has a Chaos Emerald on him as a fighter. After mulling it over, I've quite warmed up to Shadow, enough to say I legitimately want him in the game. Then again, I think he's almost confirmed for playability as it stands, but y'know what...

I understand that Chaos Powers are sort of a defining characteristic of Shadow, but is he capable of using them even without the Emeralds? Sonic was just as capable of using Chaos Control in SA2, and I haven't played many Sonic games featuring Shadow past that. I guess Shadow does use Chaos...

Shadow would be neat as a full character, but considering he was created as a foil of Sonic, shares much of the same abilities as Sonic (even having near identical boss fights in SA2), is mistaken for Sonic in his debut, and his own name is a reference to the fact he's a dark mirror of the Blue...

Since the reveal of Richter showing that Third Parties can get multiple reps, I'm going all in: Shadow the Hedgehog will be in Smash Bros. as a playable fighter. I will shave my beard if I'm wrong. I'm not a huge proponent of Shadow [despite full 100% clearing Shadow the Hedgehog for the...

Love me some Shovel Knight, but I didn't expect him to get in the game at all. He might pull a Little Mac in future installments, but it brings a smile to my face that he's an Assist Trophy. The real victory is knowing that an indie character can steel thy shovel with industry greats like Mario...

Kongratulations to the King! I've been out of Smash Speculation since the release on WiiU, and even then I mostly lurked around the Ridley threads. That being said, K. Rool has always been one of my top picks for newcomers. Imagine my utter awe at the end of the direct, gazing at my Galaxy's...

Put me down as "Metamerism." For all flavor and kreativity K. Rool's depiction in Ultimate has, Sakurai and his krew deserve to recognized.

As much as I love Ridley's design, I'm surprised that they made him even more unhealthy than his scrawny appearance in Brawl. After all, the games after Brawl seemed to be transitioning away from the dark and gritty renditions of characters in favor of supporting a more bright and saturated...

RIDLEY!

I was in a Discord call with my buddy at the time. I had a bit of a migraine, but I fought through it to watch the reveals. Fast forward to Smash and all the fanfare that came with that. I was surprised Sakurai was still part of its development since I heard he had health problems in Smash 4's...

I'm against Facebook, if that means anything.
