Hypest Friday Pic Everrrr!

Pic of the day. Unfortunately, I've been too busy working on developing the Wii U version that I haven't had a chance to play Home-Run Contest with my Global Smash Power turned on. So fighters, with the game now released worldwide, how are you faring with your home-run distance and Global Smash Power? I wonder if Ganondorf gives you some advantage.

>Mentions Ganondorf
>Not even on the site yet
Sakurai pls
Can't say he's wrong though.

>Mentions Ganondorf in the caption
>Ganondorf isn't on the website yet

Sakurai you're hilarious.

...I thought you were kidding.

 

[Meelow]

This is so funny, this is the third time Ganondorf got leaked, second time by Nintendo.

Sakurai might as well just confirm him already.

 

[OnettGirl]

Uhhhggg, HD Dark Pit pictures, looking sexy handsome as always. And the good doctor's looking just as dashing in HD if I do say so myself. November 21st can't come soon enough, be still my beating heart.

 

[Hayzie]

It's going to be hilarious if he's posted in the Secret section.

Sooooooo Monday is the start of all PotD's Wii U related from now on. Woohoo!!!

 

[abrinx77]

Wait, this isn't a joke? Sakurai, what are you doing?!

 

[Jae]

I don't think Samurai even cares at this point, so he goes and blatantly mentions Ganondorf while the guy doesn't even have his page up via Smash Bros. website.

 

[Mythra]

With Ganondorf "Leaked Again" I hope that he gets officially revealed soon. I just want to see his awkward face expressions on HD.

 

[shrooby]

"I wonder if Ganondorf gives you some advantage."

*doesn't reveal Ganondorf*
Classic Sakurai is classic.

 

[nuclearneo577]

Now that Smash 3DS will have been out for over a week internationally on Monday, there will be no excuse for Sakurai to not start showing off more Wii U exclusive features.

Most human faces look weird on the 3DS honestly, Ike looks like a pancake.

 

[AustarusIV]

Guys

You think Ganondorf might actually be playable in this game? I hope he can finally use his sword!!!

 

[Sehnsucht]

There are times when I wonder what the hell Sakurai is Gerudoing.

 

[Nintendotard]

Ganondorf and Game & Watch tonight? Game & Watch Has Been Revealed since Pac-Man's trailer aha

Sakurai might as well put R.O.B too and just keep Jr. And Dog & Duck so they can all get a glorious, cgi trailer *3*

Guys

Speaking of, OOT Ganondorf did not have a sword. Ever. No, that tech demo doesn't count. I'm talking about in the real game. However, it did have the tech demo sword programmed in. Sakurai may have thought about incorporating it. He didn't obviously have the time.

In Brawl, he clearly didn't want to, but at least TP Ganondorf officially used a sword.

This version now does, for a move or two. I don't know all his customs. I don't want him to be some silly sword user, but he could slightly incorporate it by remaking the animations of some moves much like he did for customs. It'd be arbitrary, but it'd also please fans.

 

[FalKoopa]

You want Ganondorf on the main site?

[JamesDNaux]

People questioning Sakurai's use of Ganondorf forget that he is entertainer.

 

[Morrigan]

"Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Launch Date: 11/21/2014" I just saw this, time to consider buying a Wii U.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

People questioning Sakurai's use of Ganondorf forget that he is entertainer.

Or that he may be Sakurai's main as of Brawl. Which explains why he didn't get changed heavily in 4. XD

In fact, he might've name-dropped him without thinking of his spoiler stuff. I have a feeling he realized almost everybody knew, shrugged, and just didn't care. Nintendo leaked Ganondorf in an old video. Most thought he'd be back because it's Ganondorf, the main villain of Zelda. Or at least the games where he's a humanoid. But yeah.

 

[Marakatu]

Anybody else noticed Ness in yesterday's pic? Third row in the right, below Pikachu.

Does that indicate anything? We already know he's playable, and he's on the official website under "Secret Fighters", so... what?

 

[Admiral Pit]

Really? He brought up Ganon before revealing him? Hmmm. To be fair, I think the majority of us knew he was coming back before we had gameplay footage, not to mention us who spoiled ourselves by watching JP footage. It is kinda hilarious, though.

He was first leaked in the Japanese Trailer. We saw him in gameplay before the games were even released(or gameplay was leaked from people who got it early), strangely enough.

Because tower of smash indicated you do not have to unlock anybody in the wii u version

Which i think is balony


Ps as for the picture of the day

He better add the ganondorf section on the site to see him in HD

With Smash 3DS released worldwide, the 3DS pic of the days have basically lost their touch. Of course, until the New 3DS is released, only Sakurai is able to post 3DS screenshots onto Miiverse.

 

[Substitution]

Wait, so he knows about the trick?...I don't know what to think of that.

 

[DraginHikari]

Likely something they noticed during testing and didn't bother adjusting it.

I think he might be referring the challenge involving gaining over 3280 feet:

I suggest you don't those kinds of comments here, we don't want this to go off-topic.

You do know obsessive anger isn't a good thing right? Seem pretty obsessive when you bring up as many times as you do.

For crying outloud, it seems I can't go in a topic anywhere in this sub forum today without seeing this.

Fix'd

Sakurai did mention Ness before his reveal during the Brawl days too. (Although that did cause the whole "Up until now" fiasco back then.....)

Anyway, neat to see Dark Pit and Doctor Mario on the Wii U version too. I wonder if Sakurai would comment on Doc's return sometime in a PotD considering he is the first veteran to skip a game....

I'm just sad he actually had him as a costume at a time. But it's reasonable since it's literally a model difference between 'em. Both times he figured they make more sense as uniquely playable characters. I do wonder if he was a costume at one time in Melee. Maybe he wanted the Megavitamins to be more unique and he couldn't figure out how to simply make him an alt at the time while programming him to have different taunts/animations(slightly) and voice clips/remodels? He did not every do this till 4 so it's actually possible it took him a long to figure it out.

If Project M couldn't get Dr. Mario to have a remodeled Final Smash, maybe Sakurai couldn't at the time. He also probably didn't feel FLUDD was worth remodeling during development so scrapped Dr. Mario when he had a more original roster with zero actual clones by then besides returning vets and possibly a remade Young Link into Toon Link at best. Same with Roy, Toon Zelda, and Toon Sheik. Note that the toon characters except Toon Ganondorf are immensely different sizes from the originals, so they'd take up more time than some clones, like say Roy or even Dr. Mario in Melee. Yong Link-style clones are slightly harder. However, Toon Link has an entirely different model, where Young Link is literally a smaller model. That, and Toon Link has far more different moves. I can believe he, Wolf, and Jigglypuff were made later in development due to them having no role in the SSE.(the order of data doesn't mean much to me as they can rearrange where it goes without usually messing up the game. I could be wrong on that, though. I don't know if the exact order of everything is key to how the game was programmed. It could mean everything, or nothing besides the "categories".)

If I understood correctly, he didn't want to mess up the battle records by creating alts with different properties and he felt that it would please his fans better if he was his own character with all the tools he had in Melee (Pills, Dr. Tornado, Thunder hand etc), or something along those lines.

Yeah Toon Link and the others where most likely indeed later inclusions compared to most of the cast in Brawl. (bar Sonic perhaps, I'm not sure.....)

We can say for sure that Wolf, Toon Link, and Jigglypuff were going to be in no matter what. He outright said everybody was planned from the start. Except Sonic. That includes the cuts. Them not being in the SSE does mean they could've been made last. Not low priority specifically for the game itself(not that this is impossible, but it's not implied at all), but not important to the SSE itself as well.

As for 4, does anyone have a link to when he told a fan who asked him to make Dr. Mario a costume that he wouldn't make sense as one because he couldn't shoot firebals? I bet he made him a costume before that. Possibly before Lucina even. That's why he possesses the most amount of differences. He was created first. Besides that, if he was, that actually tells us when he finished the first roster. IC's aside. They could've been cut before or after the clones.

He said they were all costumes at one time, but becamse playable later, last in development when he had more time. I can't say if Dr. Mario was before or after Lucina, but Dark Pit having almost zero differences, and his Final Smash being a renimation but identical usage to Zelda and Sheik's suggest he was the last made one and had no time to put some better work into him. He apparently is a bit slower and heavier or something like that.
