Jumpman confirmed.

Shut up Blu-Wait. Something's wrong.

Well Krystal Fans don't really have.... anything, she might not be there, but she also doesn't have a really poorly made reason why she's not there either

Actually, Federation ****up is to flesh out the federation and most likely Sylux for future installments. If Nintendo wasn't incompetent enough to say "We're using it to flesh the feds out for future installments of Metroid" during the trailer, then again, people wouldn't be nearly as pissed

8-bit Mario should get in as the polar opposite of Ryu.
Ryu's a super complex character, 8-bit Mario is a super simple character. Because his only attack is jumping.

 

[Burruni]

I'm pretty sure there was someone here who legitimately predicted 8-bit Mario.
No, I'm not indirectly referring to BluePikmin.

Spoiler

That was Jumpman. He's completely different.

EpicGordon
I remember that dude.
He was ASSURED that our retro newcomer was going to be 8-Bit Mario, and one of his specials was just going to be turning invincible for a few seconds.

Last DLC character is Amiibo exclusive.

Iwata: "Prease undahstahn! We are trying to meet the demand of amiibo and have one final announcement! Ridley is joining Smash! However, we were only able to produce 16 of the Ridley amiibo, so only a few of you will be able to play!"

Sad thing is that some anti Ridley folk might buy one just to microwave it like that Majoras Mask N3DS. I still can't understand how a friend of mine got one of those recently

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

new game today right?

Wasn't that supposed to happen a half hour ago?

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

That game that Gamespot was supposed to cover was just Xenoblade Chronicles X.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I figured it wouldn't be anything new, but I wonder what thoses unannounced Ubisoft games were.

A game where you play as a company trying to prevent the release of Beyond Evil and Good 2 to piss off fans. Heard BGAE2 is legitimately dead, not surprised

 

[Burruni]

....How about that Retro Studios game that was supposed to be announced at E3?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Either it's DK or Tanabe lied about no current production on Prime 4, former's the most likely one of course, apparently Sakamoto's doingthe 2D game. He better go "Oooooh I had to make a METROID game! Silly me, time to outdo Super Metroid"

Soooo no word yet. Gotcha. We wait.

For DKCR3: Jurassic Kroc.

Next year will be better. Trust the 3-4 Nintendo E3 cycle, y'all. 2001- okay, 2002- awesome, 2003- okay, 2004- great, 2005- depressing, 2006- legendary, 2007- okay, 2008 - Jesus wept...., 2009- okay, 2010- awesome, 2011- okay, 2012- severely underwhelming, 2013- awesome, 2014-great, 2015 - underwhelming. NX and Zelda are already kicking it off so 2016 will definitely be worth paying attention to.

What's an NX? Is that a console?

 

[A Distant Demon]

THere is a rumor of a nintendo roundtable going around but I still havent seen a source :/

hopefully we get something

What's an NX? Is that a console?

Its the codename of Nintendo's next system.

 

[Kenith]

What's an NX? Is that a console?

Nintendo's next big thing, not even enough info about it to call it a console in the traditional sense.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Honestly, if the NX has Metroid Prime 4 as a launch title, we'd know that of people would that **** up, the next 3D Mario is likely it, maybe a Kirby or something too

 

[Burruni]

What's an NX? Is that a console?

NX is the "beta name" for Nintendo's next console (like Dolphin for Gamecube and Revolution for Wii) that they have said that it will neither replace 3DS or WiiU.
Then again the DS wasn't MEANT to replace the GBA.

 

[Fatmanonice]

What's an NX? Is that a console?

It's the current codename for the Wii U's successor, much like how the Gamecube was called Project: Dolphin and the Wii was called Project: Revolution.

PROJECT S.T.E.A.M. 2, WHAT'S AN ADVANCE WARS EDITION

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

So bacically the New 3Ds for the Wii U...Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. -_-

 

[Burruni]

No.
We don't know WHAT it is.
So don't be a little whiny pup about it.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Before I go, I'd like to just give some advice to those of you who are still expecting a butt ton of DLC characters...

It occurred to me last night while playing Smash with friends that...the current CSS allows space for about 2 more characters on the bottom row. That would make the CSS a solid 4 X 14 block. There are two slots in the data left with "Mario", which we suspect are two characters...

Yes, there are arrows for the character select screen. For 3DS, that makes sense if they need an additional page considering only one person is using the screen. But for the Wii U? I don't know man. That would be extremely annoying unless it's a substantial amount of characters.

Of course, I could be overstating this info. What I would suggest though, is to not expect huge amounts of content characterwise. Stages, sure. Characters?... I don't know. To me, signs point to Wolf and then one other. Could be a Ballot character, could be a preplanned one.

Bottom line is: Expect at least two more, but I would certainly NOT expect a large amount beyond that. People's expectations are likely to be squandered...again.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

It's the 3DS to the DS, I'm confident it's the nextgen stuff

I'm not whining I'm showing a lack of enthusiasm.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The joke is pup and your username

 

[Fatmanonice]

I'm expecting 3 or 4, honestly. You know dropping a character around Christmas is too good of an opportunity for them to pass up and I'm sure at least one character will be chosen from the ballot. Wouldn't be surprised if at least one new person OHMYGODITSWOLFWATTASURPRISE was announced by October too.

 

[N3ON]

E3 2016 will probably be pretty good considering all the games that have likely shifted development to the NX which I imagine they'll finally be able to show.

Zelda, probably Retro's title, probably NLG's other title... maybe the next 3D Mario which is confirmed to be in development for the next Nintendo console.

But more importantly, for as much as they have their head in the sand, I think Nintendo knows they absolutely need to make a strong first impression with the NX.

Since the Lucas reveal my guess has been and will remain at eight. I think that's a good, plausible amount.

Never forget Pokebank and Royu eshop crashes

 

[Bowserlick]

Here is an old move-set for an Anthropomorphic Andross (with a body) I posted years ago during Brawl speculation. As you can see, Wolf was picked and not Andross for another Starfox rep.

*Notice how one of the specials is essentially Sheik's new forward B. And how this predates Zamus' rocket heels.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler

The ape would have a body. Andross would also have metal gloves with thrusters located on the palm. The thrusters would act kinda like jetpacks allowing Andross to jump high and float a little of the floor like Mewtwo. The thrusters would also allow him to propel his punches, making him stronger then he would be. He would be a floaty character unless you press down while he was in the air. Then the engines would shut off and the metal gloves would make him a fast faller.

Walk: His hands would be at his sides with the thrusters on. Blue fire would expel from his palms and he would slowly foot a few inches off the ground toward his opponent.

Run: Andross holds his hands behind him and the thrusters shoot out longer flames propelling Andross forward at a high speed similar to Pichu's. Terrible at quick turns.

Running A: Andross would bring his hands forward to clap at the enemy. The movement of his thruster enabled gloves would make his jolt backwards a little distance as he clapped. Sends opponent forward. Good for setting some distance between fighters.

A: Punch
AA: Punch and then extended palm
AAA: Punch, then extended palm, then another extended palm
AAAA: Punch, one extended palm plant, then another, then the thrusters would turn on really quick propelling Andross backwards a few feet.

>A: Andross hovers with hands at the side and kicks at the opponent

^A: Andross uppercuts, thruster turns on, and Andross lifts a foot higher off the floor before thruster snaps off and he descends back into hovering position, when the thruster turns back on.

Duck: Thrusters turn off and Andross crouches on the floor.
Down A: Thrusters turn on quickly, making Andross to a quick spin while crouching with one foot stuck out. Accelerated Sweep kick.

Forward Smash: Swings one arm around in a full circle with thruster on leaving a trail of fire. Metal fist crashes to the floor. If A is pressed again, his other glove thruster will turn on and repeat the pattern going forward.

Down Smash: Andross clasps his gloves together and hammer-fists the ground making the floor ripple in a set circumference around him. Sends opponents upwards. Some rocks and debris might pop up and hover a foot in the air for a few seconds after for effect only.

Up Smash: Andross Machine gun punches upward, juggling the opponent

Down B: Andross's cape whirls outward. Flat Metal rectangles come flying out from the background and form steps for Andross to walk on. Five blocks come out. Andross can walk back and forth or just one way or even diagonal. This could be used to make a cieling so opponents can't jump upward to get back on stage. Andross falls afterwards and can't use moves until he hits the ground.

Forward B: Andross throws a Vortex Grenade from his belt. It explodes after seven seconds. Could be picked up and thrown by others. Only one Grenade could be on the floor at a time. When it explodes it makes a blackish blue sphere which sucks in anyone nearby including Andross. Radius like Kirby's except all the way around the sphere. Does damage and keeps person in place like Young Link's Up B spin. Good way to trap opponents.

B: Andross extends both palms forward and a green grid shaped like a metal rectangle block shoots out. If B is pressed while the green grid is going forward it will solidify into a metal step rotating forward in the air. If it hits an opponent it will smash and do damage to the enemy. If the opponent has a high percentage it might carry the enemy with it for a few moments before cracking and exploding. Only one could be out at a time.

Up B: Andross does a back-flip and disappears into a blue vortex. You could angle the direction of his reappearance like Zelda's Up B. Except it is about half as long.

Air Battle:

Neutral A: Does a Midair flip similar to Captain Falcon's Up A. But much weaker.
Forward A: Midair slap with metal glove.
Backward A: Andross extends one arm backwards and his glove spews out a spout of fire to rack up damage on opponent. Sends Andross forwards a little.
Down A: Does a split in the air with his legs and throws one heavy gloved hand downwards between open legs. Meteor Smash.
Up A: Andross reaches upward with a metal glove in a grabbing motion. If he hits an opponent he throws them downward. Down throw is weak, opponent goes underneath Andross setting him up for a down A move.

Andross Throws: Grabs opponent with metal glove.
A: Burns opponent with thrusters on glove.
Forward: Skids forward on feet briefly before swinging his arm in a full circle still clutching the enemy and finally releasing him forward in an arch. A little further then Mario's forward throw but due to arch harder to die from.
Backward: Quick throw backwards. Straight trajectory.
Downward: Throws opponent to the ground and machine gun punches their body until they jolt upwards.
Upward: Andross teleports the opponent a few feet above him. Opponent disappears in a flash of blue and then a portal opens above Andross. At this point the opponent could jump or attack once he or she exits teleport.

I get the phrasing, I just don't take things like that to be a joke. Probably because I'm into fantasy writing.

Bottom line is: Expect at least two more, but I would certainly NOT expect a large amount beyond that. People's expectations are likely to be squandered...again.

1: The roster DOES NOT influence how many characters we are getting. Especially since you could just move some characters over to the other page.
2: You do realize it's the minority that thinks we will get a lot of characters right?

With or without mewtwo?

Probably with.

 

[N3ON]

With or without mewtwo?

With Mewtwo.

 

[Pakky]

With Mewtwo.

Okay then, cool, four more to go. That's not bad at all. So realistically are we thinking something like:

Wolf (What's the matter scared? )
ballot (Big papa Rool)
ballot (squid waifu)
Snake?/somebody?

A character announced in the Winter huh?

No. Pessimistically, it would probably be:
Wolf
King K.Rool
Isaac, or Bandana Dee, or Inkling (Pick two)
Or less.

 

[The Light Music Club]

I don't think we will get Inkling pretty much because they now have a costume. I don't think Sakurai finds them viable for DLC for Smash 4.

 

[DustyPumpkin]

I would LOVE to play as the Polar Bear

 

[Bowserlick]

Hypothetical Four
1. Wolf
2. King K. Rool
3. Chorus Kids
4. # Third party ballot
