Has anyone ever though if Master Hand would return in 4???? And what really happened to him, did Tabuu kill him? And if Master Hand was the creator of the world of trophies, why would he creat Tabuu. If Master Hand won't return I think Crazy Hand should avenge him!!! Discuss! And also give me your ideas for your adventure mode, I love reading plots I read a good one like 3 days ago. Credits to Marioandsonicguy!

:phone: Thank you for all the posts! Also I'm hosting a tournament you can find it online tournament. Its called summer bust, I only need two more entrants so feel free to join!

We don't know where Tabuu came from as the Subspace never told us. And there's a chance Tabuu got totally obliterated in the SSE. We also don't know if a SSE sequel will come either (but I'm not saying he has no chance of returning

As for Master Hand, he's almost the icon of the Super Smash Bros. series (if that's not true then he's basically a staple to the games) as he's been in all 3 games. It wouldn't be Smash Bros. without him so I severely doubt he'll get the axe. Crazy Hand is starting to get important too despite not being in 64. If there is a story mode again I hope he's included this time.

I don't think Master Hand would be defeated that easily. I mean come on, It's Master Hand! The living glove hand thing you beat the heck out of at the end of every classic match and then he explodes or something, and yet he still returns time and time again. He can't be killed that easily by a simple blue force field.

I'm positive he will return. Plus Classic won't feel the same without him being the final boss.

If whatever happened at the SSE was indeed canon in smash's universe, then I think that it will pretty much only affect adventure mode. Or Crazy Hand will probably replace him in Classic. But I can't see that happening. :/

Right here, not quite now
From Sakurai's twitter:


“This is what our staff drew on the white board. It’s good!”

See the background? Yeah, he's probably in unless the team change their minds.

Love how Kirby and Pit are front and centre.

I wish Tabuu never existed, I love Master & Crazy Hand so much more. Should a third hand come into play, or is that too much?

The Subspace Emissary isn't even canon, so it should not affect Smash 4's cast in any way.
How do you know it isn't canon? This was the first SSE story. Didn't Sakurai say that the story was originally longer, but thing had to be cut.

The third hand is named Tabuu.

I hope Master and Crazy Hand return. It'd be dumb if they got the axe. Plus Master Hand has been the staple end-boss to Classic Mode ever since the 64 days.

I just hope we learn more about Master and Crazy Hand's background, identity and purpose.

Actually, there's two hands in that drawing. ;]

Finally someone said it!
Master Hand needs some new moves/attacks. There's an infinite amount of gestures that a hand can make.
I hope so! o:

Yeah, I hate Tabuu as well.

A third hand? That'd be interesting. Maybe it could be a parent to Master & Crazy Hand trying to control them?

I don't believe that there will be a third hand. It would be weird... and would imply a fourth hand as well.

It's canon in regards to the Smash series, just not outside of it.

HDidn't Sakurai say that the story was originally longer, but thing had to be cut.
There was a couple of cutscenes that got dropped, like how Metaknight lost his ship.

EDIT: "The taking of the battleship Halberd, as well as the scuffle between King Dedede and Meta Knight, were not shown in the game, because those scenes unfortunately had to be cut."

Yeah, the Hands aren't going anywhere. After something has bee in smash bros. twice (other than stages and Pokéball Pokémon), it is pretty much a given to return.

People remember what happened in the Subspace Emissary=??? I forgot it like my mind got wiped out by those laser things from Men In Black! :laugh:

If Master Hand did get destroyed in SSE then all I can say is.....

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.


I give you THE POWER GLOVE!

I doubt Master Hand actually got harmed in any way whatsoever.

I pictured Master Hand in n64 as the one who brought all the toys to life to fight one another (and eventually himself). Like a lonely child.

Maybe Subspace was just Master Hand having a LARP session with himself. And failing. He probably rolled under a 12 and became Tabuu's b*tch.

I'm waiting for Master Head (ANDROSS? So that's why there's so many space animals in smash!), :laugh: Master Brain (NOW YOU MUST BATTLE MY BRAIN!), and Master Tongue.

I doubt we'll get any extension to the hands. I'd prefer the "creator" to be faceless, and I can't imagine any other body part making sense.

New moves would be nice.

Hm. I wonder if Master Hand will say a line or two this time around (instead of just laughing).

This is what I was going for with my avatar, except it's not Andross.
Dr. Kawashima was the only character of note in a thusfar unrepresented nintendo franchise and, as a disembodied head in charge of brain training, he seems a perfect choice for the "mastermind" behind everything and the owner of the hands. And yes, he could explode into a giant brain on death in true Andross style. It would be in character.

That's terrifying. I approve. I never thought of it that way.
I always figured there was something off about Dr. Kawashima...

Is it too farfetched to say that Master and Crazy Hand are just Bongo Bongo with gloves on?

Clearly, everyone here doesn't know the chilling fact that Mr. Dooter from Kirby's Return to Dreamland is the ruler of the smash universe. :troll:

But yeah, Tabuu did do a number on him. Maybe Master hand evolves into...

META HAND!

I would kill for playing as Master Hand. Also I want him to perform a protagonist role as before

Master Hand would be last on the tier list, even if he took percent like everyone else.

HIs attacks are telegraphed and could easily be avoided for 8 minutes, hence at top level play, he would lose to every character.

I don't think he would be a character, he would just be a boss as he always has been.
