We will get one! Someday!
I understand this logic, and since he'd be the first returning vet after a game of absence, it's hard to tell what Sakurai would do. Personally I think it depends on how much, if any, changes he received. If it's enough that he's basically a brand new fighter, I could see a trailer. If not... PotD reveal seems possible
It directly depends on how they implement Mewtwo, if they just polish him and haphazardly throw him in the game, I don't see him getting a special announcement. If they give the character an overhaul or implement a drastic feature/mechanic change, such as Mega Evolution, he would probably get a special announcement just like Sonic.
Still want some more Zelda pictures.
What about Olimar?!
No one really cares about Olimar as there aren't really any significant changes aesthetically or mechanically... unless he can now only use 3 Pikmin. That isn't necessarily something you want to "show off" though.
...But we need to know...
Maybe because he wasn't in Brawl (which brings into question about his status as a veteran), besides being the most requested character in 99% of the surveys around the world?
I doubt it, what reason is there to nerf him?
Why does it matter? He's still a veteran. He was in a game correct?
Ridley would like to have a word with you....
Or, maybe a new Pokemon Stage.
Powa up pawnch
There is the possibility of him using Rock and Flying Pikmin. But I think we'll silently have to wait what happens.
I am speculating for a true Kamehameha wave. It just wouldn't be
I think Flying Pikmin would become a homing attack since they able to fly directly to the target, Rock Pikmin would basically be a projectile that can not stopped just by hitting, it's basically Purple Pikmin, only with much more defense.
In that case I still don't feel like Rock Pikmin add much then. Just kind of becomes a better Purple which would suck for them. Unless they were weaker somehow? Or maybe they are better shield breakers? Who knows.
Didn't Sakurai already say that it's only the five (red, blue, yellow, purple, white)?
I don't remember him saying anything at all about it. Honestly I'm pretty sure the only info we have on Olimar is that he's in the game.
I like this idea a lot and feel it should be implemented.
...I though he did.
Well, except for Rosalina.
No he has not stated quite yet.
When Mewtwo joins the battle, Alfonso takes his place as the legendary Pokemon of Cerulean Cave.
Why are so many people saying that the Spear Pillar stage will be disconfirmed? It's not like you can't have 2 of the same Pokémon on the same stage... You can have 2 Snorlax on the Poké Floats stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee (although technically, one of them is a summonable Poké Ball Pokémon and one of them is arguably a non-sentinent float, but a Pokémon appearance is still a Pokémon appearance), thus exhibiting Snorlax in both "stage element" and "summonable Pokémon" capacities.. The Pokémon games themselves are a bit ambiguous on whether each legendary Pokémon is unique or a part of a multi-member species, but link battles and Pokémon event distributions definitely make the "non-unique" theory possible. Also, if you consider Pokemon Pearl and/or Platinum Versions as contemporaneous with Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, 2 Palkia can "exist" simultaneously - the stationary Palkia available for capture in Pearl/Platinum, and the event-induced Palkia created by Arceus during the HG/SS Cynthia downloadable-content (DLC) event. (This is probably one of the few times that you'll see me using the "legendaries are non-unique" theory, I personally dislike it because it makes legendaries seem less special to me.)
Although I guess it's a logical theory to propose, Palkia's return does not affect Dialga's return in the slightest (as in, grouping them as a "pair/type of group"). Super Smash Bros. Brawl had several groups that didn't appear in their entirety within the same capacity (such as being a summonable Pokémon):
I would actually love a Dragonspiral Tower-based stage (or alternatively, N's Castle like so many people have suggested may work, although I haven't experienced it for myself, so I can't really say anything). Dragonspiral Tower appeals to me since it has the cooler name and the fact that we have quite a bit of castle-based stages already (Hyrule Castle 64, Peach's Castle 64, Peach's Castle (Melee), and Castle Siege), although N's Castle could be viable as long as its visuals and layout differ enough, IMO.Yeah pretty much disconfirms Spear Pillar again.
But don't worry, Sakurai will make a new Spear Pillar type stage but with Zekrom and Reshiram as the stage hazards instead.
Here's hoping that technology and game development progress to a point where we won't need to cut such corners, and the background characters can look just as detailed as the fighters without causing lag.
It may not happen anytime soon in the future, but the prospect is nice.I liked Spear Pillar.
Guys... what if the new Pokemon stage is Geosenge town, and the stage hazard is...
The ultimate weapon, and when it's fired everybody is disintegrated and loses all of their stocks, and Team Flare are declared the winners as they dance over the bloodstains that were once your bodies?
Or, like... Xerneas and Yvetal do junk, and stuff.
I would love to see someone make a video based on that concept. XDAgreed with Amazing Ampharos' second paragraph about Palkia.
(I wouldn't mind its "randomly launched beams from the same position" attack being used if Cresselia were switched to a Poké Ball Pokémon, though). 75m is somewhat better in that the top-right area tends to be relatively free of projectiles, but Mario Bros. is just a sheer onslaught of critters; you can hardly go more than 5 seconds without being hit by something crawling around or bouncing/floating, and all of the tiers/floors can make KOs more difficult to achieve, with limited walk-off KOs as one's primary option... At least on Spear Pillar, upward KOs are easier to snag and you can freely move around, even during the controller input and screen inversions.I think the amount of legendary Pokémon has been fine so far - 13/30 in Brawl, or 43% of available Poké Ball Pokémon being legendaries (counting Latios and Latias as a single unit, since they're rather interchangeable) compared to Melee's 10/29, or 34% of available Poké Ball Pokémon (these calculations exclude playable Pokémon and stage hazard Pokémon). The number is probably going to increase simply due to the sheer number of Pokémon available (currently being 718-721 total Pokémon as of Generation 6, excluding Mega Evolutions). And the developers compensated with the rarity of the Pokémon anyway, as Mew (and Celebi and Jirachi; possibly Manaphy) have a lower chance to appear compared to Mew and Celebi's rarity in Melee (1/493, or 0.2028%, in Brawl compared to 1/251, or 0.3984%, in Melee), the rate apparently being independent of the rarity of the common/uncommon Pokémon. Thanks to Wolfram Alpha for the conversions!
I really like the "1/# of Pokémon in current generation" idea, and I get that legendaries are supposed to be rare, but I feel it'll get really frustrating as the series (both Pokémon and SSB) go on. I feel each player should get to see Mew/Celebi/Jirachi/Manaphy at least once throughout his or her Smash-game-playing career.. (I think I've only seen Manaphy twice n gameplay in my 5+ years of playing Brawl). And yeah, even though the non-Manaphy Mew-esque Pokémon probably don't take up that much coding (use pre-existing 3D model, release goodies, fly up), it makes little sense to dedicate time/effort to stuff that will hardly ever be seen by most players (especially since we're already up in arms about the limitations to stuff that can be seen easily, like playable characters and stages).
This.
Yeah, I hated that the computers players cheated like that, but in that event, I just try to redouble my efforts and make sure I win any Palkia-laced matches against computer players on Spear Pillar.You're a Ridley fan, AND a Palkia fan? Soulmate<3
I will really miss Spear Pillar. I loved that stage.
You clearly haven't played Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire and/or Emerald Versions, then.
Hoenn Champion Steven Stone + Teams Magma and Aqua FTW!Although I still dislike the "stage-exclusive" idea, that proposal makes sense... For some reason, I've always envisioned a "Pokémon Colosseum" stage (fulfilling the "Pokémon Stadium 3" slot and coincidentally name-dropping another Pokémon game) with the Legendary Golems (Regigigas, Regirock, Registeel, and Regice), particularly because:
0_o That would be interesting, although I would love it if a common/uncommon Assist Trophy were able to do the same thing.
This. While I don't practice on it specifically for learning the stage hazards (I mainly play on it because it's pretty, it has awesome music, and, uh, LEGENDARY SPACETIME POKEMON), I've played on it long enough to the point where I can manage the stage hazards.
This. In contrast to some people, I strongly hope that Spear Pillar returns in SSB4!
The aesthetics were just beautiful, the atmosphere was properly foreboding, Sinnoh's legendary pixies rarely flew by in "blink and you miss it" background moments to observe you (befitting their rarity and status of legendary Pokémon), it actually felt like you were fighting amidst extremely powerful legendary Pokémon (who don't give a hoot about you and your interface problems), and I would gladly face all of the flips and inversions and reversals just to hear the amazing "Dialga/Palkia Battle on Spear Pillar!" during gameplay (IMO, one of the best feats in Brawl is to survive all of the Interface Screws and your foes' bevy of attacks, simply to be the last one standing on Spear Pillar with such ominous music playing in the background as you secure your hard-fought-for victory).
The more delicious Mewtwo tears, the better.
