Maybe, just maybe

It's crazy hand

Or Ridley.

*hides*

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Correction, This caption actually kinda makes you wonder.

Look how often he mentions gold.

That pile of treasure reminds me of something from........

WARIO LAND.........

Could this be the week. OMG. this hint is HUGE

Yeah

Just like How Wario was in the last Mario series game that focused on Gold

 

[Sehnsucht]

So it looks like there's only 5 battles before you get to Master Hand. Way shorter.

It seems that might be because you can choose your opponents.

At the juncture, Kirby can choose Pac-Man, a Mario character, or Mega Man (?) as his next match. If you select one, can you go back and do the other two?

It doesn't look to be the case. So it's actually 15 matches, and you get to pick which five you want to go against, depending on desired match-ups and possible rewards (e.g. trophy appearances). And then you face off against Master Hand.

I imagine it'll be like Star Fox 64, where you can take the same character and go through various routes in Classic Mode at every new run.

 

[abrinx77]

Well, it seems like the gold maxes out at around 1,000,000 according to the Japanese pic. Hinting Crazy Hand/Tabuu? Very sneaky Sakurai. Also, I believe that the Kremling Trophy on the map represents a reward for completing that stage, just like the gold coins on some of the other paths. Maybe its to make you pick between getting more gold from a level or getting another reward like a trophy, seems pretty neat.

 

[JabbatheHutt]

Yeah

Just like How Wario was in the last Mario series game that focused on Gold

That still bugs me to this day.

 

[DarkFalcon]

Classic mode info eh? I'm fine with that. He's hinting at something other than Master Hand at higher difficulties. Wouldn't be surprised if it's Crazy Hand, but Sakurai could throw a curve ball. Who knows.

 

[Ryuutakeshi]

No matter how many people say this isn't smash run, people still think it's smash run. Even Sakurai isn't listened to.

 

[Admiral Pit]

The Field's Scale is definitely inspired by Kid Icarus Uprising's Fiend's Cauldron. I'm okay with it.

 

[Mega Hawlucha]

Probably becomes Crazy Hand, Master/Crazy Duo and Tabuu on higher difficulties. Sounds great

Shorter as well, which is nice.

 

[Loungemen]

English:
"In Classic mode, you can choose your next challenge on the route map. Looks like Master Hand is waiting at the end, but perhaps something might change if you raise the intensity…?!"

Bosses confirmed?

 

[JabbatheHutt]

wait.... is this first confirmation of master hand?

 

[Sehnsucht]

Probably becomes Crazy Hand, Master/Crazy Duo and Tabuu on higher difficulties. Sounds great

Maybe Tabuu will wear the Hands like gloves.

 

[DarnDraper]

Looks like Sakurai is implying that there are other possible bosses besides Master Hand? Here's hoping for Crazy Hand and perhaps some other cool villains, maybe new ones.

 

[Loungemen]

No

Master Hand was first shown during the E3 3DS Video

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Master Eye.

Crazy Eye.

The Final Eye.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

English:

"Pic of the day. In Classic mode, you challenge multiple stages en route to a climactic final battle. The more gold you put onto the Fiend's Scale, the harder the battles will be. In return, your rewards will get better and more abundant. The best way to earn gold fast is to win Classic battles on higher intensity."

"In Classic mode, you can choose your next challenge on the route map. Looks like Master Hand is waiting at the end, but perhaps something might change if you raise the intensity…?!"

Something might change, eh? Normally, I'd think he was just talking about Crazy Hand showing up too, but part of me really wants there to be a new Smash Original boss. <3

I can dream~

 

[Morbi]

wait.... is this first confirmation of master hand?

Master Hand's confirmation shocked me so much tonight, almost as much as Captain Falcon's return, I thought he was cut for sure! I never envisioned that a staple of the franchise would return... good thing we have a confirmation on this.

 

[silvR1995]

Hopefully this is on-topic...

What do you all think the final POTD will be?

 

[ミスティック Speed]

Ridley/Mewtwo/Pittoo/King K Rool

Kirby VS Dragon King

 

[Ryuutakeshi]

Well, we already saw Master Hand back in june so... yeah.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You must recover

After an enemy sends you flying really far, it seems like all that’s left is for you to fall.
But you must never give up hope!



You’ve been blasted! Just aim for solid ground!



This is when you use your midair jump!



Then your Up Special Move to rise up!



Whoa. Safe at last.

If recovering is a technique, then there must also be techniques to guard against recovery. Fierce aerial battles often rule the match!

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Joke's on you Sakurai, I woke up at 12AM EST today

 

[UnownLegend]

I have trouble reconciling the amazing presentation in screens like this with a certain supposed leaked css. They really do not seem to be created by the same person

 

[mygamecube]

So it looks like there's only 5 battles before you get to Master Hand. Way shorter.

I'm thinking that's like the the second half of the path and he's already dealt with the first half. Notice the green dot at the forefront. That's probably a checkpoint of sorts, or something to indicate a branching path.

Also, looks like Sakurai hints at Crazy Hand on the second caption.

 

[JabbatheHutt]

always felt crazy hand was lazy. I think it should be tabu

 

[Morbi]

Hopefully this is on-topic...

The final Picture of the Day will be more redundant information with one of Sakurai's crack-pairings celebrating the launch of the game.

 

[Kamikazek]

I think the reason there's so few matches to reach Master hand now is because there's so many characters in the game now, and beating the game with every character was already a slog in Brawl.

Also, we already knew about this but damn those scales. I liked Uprising a lot but I hated the difficulty system. One of the few times I wish Sakurai didn't borrow from his other games so much.

I could have sworn we already knew that classic was shorter this time.

 

[Zero Suit Wario]

We know Wario's in. I want him to have a triumphant reveal before we "know-know" he's in. Hurry up Samurai

 

[DarnDraper]

Master Eye.

Crazy Eye.

The Final Eye.

Master Hand, Civilian Hand, Peasant Hand, then it goes to Master Foot. I'm glad we're getting multiple bosses even without an adventure mode (that we know of).

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Remember that time Mario was off stage and MK waited at the ledge for him to come back?

Me neither.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

"Fiend's Scale" - Oh, so it's Sakurai's?

I wonder what he was getting at with Master Hand. Maybe he was referring to Crazy Hand also appearing, but the difficulty is already on 7 out of 9 and you would think Crazy Hand would be around at a middling 5.0 like in the previous games. Maybe MH becomes a different boss altogether.

Edit - Also love the fewer stages per run. That ought to make it more bearable.

 

[Doc.Pringles]

yup. And with this info (or lack thereof), I'm done staying up for POTD. If something major gets revealed, a news outlet will let me know.

We're getting quite limited on POTD opportunities now, which makes me a little uneasy about just how much more there is to reveal. Hopefully Sakurai is planning a bombshell at launch..

Honestly, I don't think it'll be crazy hand, but rather the ghostly silhouette in the backdrop of the first picture. Just a thought

Empty Battlefield again or a pic of Final Destination. ¦D

 

[LunarDistortion]

I'd love for Tabuu to be a POTD, I honestly thought he was a pretty cool character and I hope he returns.

 

[PlayfulMushroom]

Hopefully this is on-topic...

What do you all think the final POTD will be?

When is the last one?

 

[mygamecube]

Well wouldn't the pic of the days continue past the 3DS's release? There's still the Wii U version, of course.

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

A group photo of all the playable characters like this one. Probably artwork or renders rather than an in-game screenshot.

 

[Soul.]

Classic Mode? Cool, I guess.
Maybe the change will be the Crazy Hand and Master Hand fight.
