"You must defeat Sheng Dong to stand a chance"
It varies. Most often they announce it the day before, sometimes the night before. One time they even released a "Mini" Direct with no warning, though there was a Japanese only Direct that came a couple days prior. And it was right before E3, so that's not likely to happen.
Hey, I saw this last night! So catchy! It totally has to be the new theme song to the DK games!Someone might've posted this a long time ago but I thought I'd post it again just because of how amusing I think it is.
Realtalk? Plague of Shadows made me want Plague Knight even more than Shovel Knight. Never gonna happen in that order, but I can dream.
Plague is more complex character in gameplay and personality. 100% agreeing.
Honestly, I want to see Yacht Club make their next game revolve around him.
I guess i'm out of the loop- what makes people think there will be a direct then?
That is amazing!Someone might've posted this a long time ago but I thought I'd post it again just because of how amusing I think it is.
Honestly, I can't give you a source. I've just read this rumor here and on r/smashbros.
Better idea, mid-game 3D boss-fight, in the silhouetted style from DKCTF, with K.Rool's Eye, Crown and Cape being illuminated
Unfortantley it's true though you do have to give him credit for kidnapping the sprites instead of Peach in Super Mario 3-D World as well as you vs Cat him in the final battle on the tower. I agree though, I never cared much for him in the RPG's except for maybe Super Mario RPG and Bowser's Inside Story, still love the big guy though.
I got more of a George Of The Jungle cartoon vibe from it which I agree is still pretty good.

I was the one who asked, thanks for answering
I feel this should definitely be included in K. Rool's future's design. In a boss fight, particularly.Realtalk? Plague of Shadows made me want Plague Knight even more than Shovel Knight. Never gonna happen in that order, but I can dream.
Croc fact of the day: the reason crocodilians' eyes shine at night when hit with a light source is crystals in the tapetum lucidum, a layer in their eyes just behind the retina. The biological eyedea (hue) is that whatever small amount of light is present in the environment can be reflected back out to aid vision. Many nocturnal vertebrates have tapetum lucidums, including cats, raccoons, and any more. It does make for some great pictures, though.
Edit: fact should be complete now. Accidentally hit post early, heh.
Hmm, it's gotta be either Tropical Freeze or DKC 1.
Now this. Is perfectHere's a final draft of a 'DLC likelihood' tier list. Considered the input on the list yesterday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
List assumptions (i.e. not necessarily true):
- Ice Climbers, the unaltered veteran character, are a technical impossibility.
- Snake complications are insurmountable.
- There exists the possibility of character DLC unrelated to the fighter ballot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S) A relevant veteran who places well in ballot polls.
A) King K. Rool historically #1 or #2 most requested newcomer behind Ridley. Inkling places well in ballot polls, is a popular new IP, and tbh if not in smash 4 will be in smash 5.
B) Isaac historically top 5 most requested newcomer. Isaac holds the same character potential as K. Rool, however the King seems to place slightly higher in polls. Bandana Dee garners a good amount of support internationally.
C) Dixie Kong is another top 5 most requested character historically but is typically next in line to K. Rool. Krystal is in the Dixie Kong boat, behind Wolf. Krystal could be in over Wolf, but it'd be an upset.
D) Shovel Knight or Shantae the obligatory indie characters. Cult popularity in some regions, indifference in others. Some don't like the idea of indie reps 'taking first party spots'. Chorus Men don't hold presence in ballot polls but were rumored to be in early stages of Smash 4 development. Paper Mario has many supporters and character potential, however some people don't like the idea of a third Mario. Impa gained an edge on Groose as the Zelda newcomer with the release of Hyrule Warriors, but still doesn't hold much star power. Nintendo's been pushing Chibi-Robo with an amiibo and advertisement, but would be an upset to other characters. Wonder Red had strong support at the release of Wonderful 101, but died down in popularity.
E) Third party tier. While not lacking support, Nintendo has less incentive to include these characters. Consider them Nintendo's stepchildren.
I've seen some Skyrim mods that would make ya weep...
FalKoopa
and other mods. Would I be infringing on the rules if I were to post a link to my Redbubble K. Rool poster/product?
Tuesday? You mean the announcement of the Direct?

I'd personally add Captain Toad to E or D and move Banjo to F, but otherwise it's perfect.Here's a final draft of a 'DLC likelihood' tier list. Considered the input on the list yesterday.

It suggests that obscure indie characters are more likely than Rayman.
Miyamoto's edict that the Mario cast are "just actors playing roles" doesn't help this, either - that's when the situation with Bowser started going downhill, if you ask me.
My favourite remains Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. A close second is Donkey Kong Land.
Okay. Just checking.
To be fair, it's more dependent on the amount of votes. In this case, the indies managed to get more votes, surprisingly
Probably Tropical Freeze, if only because I could play as Cranky, If it had the Kremlings instead of the Snowmads it would've been perfect. Close second would be DKC 3, with 2 and 1 close behind that.
Kinda wish we had a First party female from an older unrepresented franchise, or heck essentially un-repped franchise, though admittedly only to 2 I can think of sadly don't have the strongest fan bases though I support both Captain Syrup(who of course being from WarioLand series is essentially from a nearly complete un-repped series) and Sami from advance warsHere's a final draft of a 'DLC likelihood' tier list.

Firstly, I sincerely doubt that Shantae or Shovel Knight will get more votes than Rayman.
Agreed. Bowser becomes better in each Mario & Luigi game, while in main series and Paper Mario he has been going downhill, which is disappointing, as he is my favorite Mario character and Nintendo villain.Miyamoto's edict that the Mario cast are "just actors playing roles" doesn't help this, either - that's when the situation with Bowser started going downhill, if you ask me.
Inklings yes, they are essentially confirmed as Smash 5 newcomers, Shovel Knight however is definitely not on the same level, he has some fan support and one game that's considered good. Let him exist for more than a year, and have successful sequels and let Yacht Club establish an actual relationship with Nintendo before even calling him likely
Well isn't an amiibo an actual relationship? Plus Plague of Shadow is pretty much its own game (and it's good). But yeah, they definitly aren't on the same level. (and Plague Knight is the better knight)
