Collecting entry banners. Requires Assistance from Others

[wisewaters]

Hi. I'm new and I'm collecting the Japanese entry tags. Those are the "Challenger Approaching" tags in the Japanese Smash Dojo. They show up above new playable characters that wasn't included in E3 and Nintendo World videos. However, what distinguishs the Japanese banners from the ones of foreign languages is that they actually mention the name of the character that's going to be introduced for that day's update. That's why I collect them. I think of them as like trading cards.

However, The entry banners for Pokemon Trainer and Diddy Kong vanished from the site. And since this site is where the hard-core SSBB fans come to congregate, I was wondering if any forum users here have saved those banners on their computers. I need all the character banners that came before Lucas.

And as for how you can send the banners to me, you can send it directly though PM, or, for an easier way, e-mail me. Pm for my e-mail address.

So anyone willing to stretch out a hand to help a n00b here? Any help I get from this community will be remembered for years to come.

Side note: Do they have those banners up for veterans that weren't in the E3 and NW videos? (i.e. Ice Climbers)



1/9/2008: One of my earliest threads. Oh, the memories. Anyways, just an addition to the labels provided by emb1234.

Only newcomers that weren't in the first two trailers have these...

 

[wisewaters]

So those tags are only reserved for newcomers that weren't exhibited in those two videos?

Yep, only newcomers.

Or else it'd say "Old character approaching"

I agree the banners are pretty cool. I hope someone who has all of them saved see's this thread.

I would like them aswell!

Pyroloserkid, I'm really glad this captured the concern of a smash lord. However, judging from the amount of replies this thread has gotten, not everyone else seems to share our interest in this.

I was told that I might have better luck here. If no one helps me, who will?

Hmmm... it may be useless conjecture, but try looking at the urls. Find the url for Dedede's entry banner, and try replacing the character names and numbers with ones that would fit who you want. If it's anything like Ike's English banner, they're technically still on the site.

EDIT:
Diddy:

PT:

 

[wisewaters]

Hmm,*editing url address*.
*Computer shows HTTP 404 Not Found*
Thanks for trying though.

 

[wisewaters]

HOW DID YOU FIND THEM?!! Thank you so MUCH! You were the most helpful person in this thread and I don't know how I should return my gratitude!

Sorry for double posting. He made edits.

 

[emb1234]

No problem, happy to help. Just messing around with stuff, eventually got to them.

 

[wisewaters]

The only one I'm missing so far is Ike's, though, which coincidently also happens to be the oldest of the banners. Think you could help me one last time, emb1234?

 

[emb1234]

Ike:

Dedede:

Sonic:

Lucas:

 

[wisewaters]

Thanks again. You were like a godsend in this geat time of need. And now I think ther's no more reason for this thread to remain except for to help others who feels the same way I do about these little strips. Maybe you could also put up Sonic's and King Dedede's banner's to be preserved here?
But I'll understand if should happen to refuse. After all, it is only a request, after all.

Edit: How is it that you, emb1234, made your account seven months ago, and made only your initial posts here, of all places? Your work has been remarkable! I'm definately adding you to my buddy list after this! I think I own you a favor.

The fact that I'm a Smash Lord really doesn't mean anything,
and EMB, thanks for helping out. The Japan site doesn't work on my computer, so I kinda need ALL the banners. *sorry*

I got them all.

Just go to the Japanese entries of certain newcomers, then check the dates. If the date of one update matches that of the main update, just look at the last image of that one. Check the url. Then, you'll see a letter. In most cases this is "d". Just change the url so that you use one letter up, so instead of "d" you use "e".

If the site still doesn't load:

Do know however that only new newcomers get this treatment.

Thanks Gary!
