Ikumi Nakamura and Kamiya have expressed a strong desire to make a sequel
Chuggaaconroy finally uploaded another Okami video for the first time in nearly 8 years

Oh yeah, it's all coming together

 

[Brindor]

I've suddenly realized I want Yugi Muto in Smash Bros.
None of that Goku or DBZ stuff, Red vs Yugi pls

 

[Night Gale]

Here is how Goku can still win

Fixed that for you. Here is how Goku can still win.

 

[KillerCage]

It is a Christmas miracle.

CHUGGAACONROY IS FINALLY CONTINUING OKAMI!!!

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

There is a manga called The Morose Mononokean that Square Enix Published also. Video Game companys seem to work anime alot. In fact, wow Square Enix published a lot of familiar manga

I'm gonna take this at face value and say:

I primarily made that post to point out the inane theories that go around the fanbase using an exaggerated example (and also to see how people would react to it at face value). While cute zombie anime girl would be cool to see in Smash, I don't expect it to happen, nor do I think it's likely.

Now Idolmaster is a series that actually has a chance, and I think it'd be interesting to explore that further, but I digress.

I was going to type a large-ass paragraph on why this was incorrect and probably won’t happened, but then the last sentence, made me realized that you are probably joking

But if this causes a chance that Lily make a appearance, thus, our first trans character in Smash...

That will be all worth it for the saltstorm alone

Damn. Would've loved to have seen it.

Anyways, I've got to get back to playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf on my Nintendo 3DS, so back to retirement I go.

Spoiler: She's in

[Night Gale]

Idolmaster has a s***load of characters, but according to my research, Makino Yagami is the best one.

Imagine the hysteria and disbelief if the last choice on this thread's poll beat out all the other options.

I call that justice.

I, for one, would totally welcome this resolution.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So when do you guys think we'll get the next Direct? January, February or March?

oh no no I knew what the post was about, It just made me realize how many mangas Square Enix published

 

[MooMew64]

Probably February. January will most likely be a lot of Tokyo Mirage Sessions stuff and then early-to-mid February is where we'll learn their plans for the year. A big emphasis on XBC: Definitive and a surprise new title will probably be the biggest announcements. On the Smash side of things, assuming we do go into February before learning who FP5 is, they will most likely be shadow dropped or will launch incredibly soon after the Direct and post-pass will finally be detailed in full, with a potential for the first character to be shown and teased for a summer launch.

Oh man this place is gonna be a ghost town if we gotta wait that long. xD

 

[Rie Sonomura]

[Michael the Spikester]

From what I recall. Back in 2013 which announcedfor Sm4sh.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

would you happen to remember the exact date?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

would you happen to remember the exact date?

No. At that time I was no longer into Nintendo prior to August 2018. I just heard that from someone else on this site.

 

[Wunderwaft]

would you happen to remember the exact date?

I believe it was December 18th.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I believe it was December 18th.

*Looks back on calendar.

That was an on Wednesday apparently.

If they were advertising something for the holidays they would have done so a few weeks ago; Christmas is in three days.

Mods were so corrupt with power they were literally closing threads in denial.

Seething at its finest.

 

[Cosmic77]

There's no reason to expect a Direct this week. Aside from them never having one this close to Christmas, there just too much going on with people to expect them all to tune in for a Direct.

It's gonna be January at the earliest. Just enjoy the holidays while you wait.

 

[Will]

There's no reason to expect a Direct this week.

You can never be wrong if you keep saying it'll be next week every week.

You'll get it eventually.

There will be a direct between now and the end of the universe as we know it.

 

[Garteam]

That's not too farfetched, seeing how Luminary was the least voted option on the Square thread's poll and he was the one who got in.

Granted, the thread's most voted option, Erdrick, made it in as an alt, so I guess it evened out.

Granted, the thread's most voted option, Erdrick, made it in as an alt, so I guess it evened out.

Even then, in the Erdrick thread, many of us were speculating that Erdrick could get alts of the other protagonists instead of colors. We even came up with slightly different lists of which eight heroes would be included. Many of them, if not all of them, included the Luminary.

No one expected Luminary to get in by themselves, and in the end that never happened. The second Luminary showed up onscreen, I know I went "oh, neat, so who are the alts?"

The only thing we didn't expect is that we would only get 4 alts with one recolor each, instead of 8 different alts. Getting 4 unique character models in a single character is still going above and beyond, though.

a lot of people rag on NMH2 because "wah suda wasnt behind it all" or "wah its inferior" but damn you cannot deny how ****ing beautiful the OST is

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Well I spent a little bit working on a move set so I might as well post it here while speculation is in a lull. Here's part of a move set I made for the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons Farmer! It might not be widely requested character, but I feel there a lot of people have very found memories of the classic farming series.

I didn't go into full detail of every move, since I doubt people want to read "Farmer thrusts their pitchform in this direction" for the normals and aerials over and over again.

Spoiler: Moveset

Normals: The Farmer wields a pitchfork as a weapon and uses it for most of their normal attacks, somewhat filling the niche of a "Spearfighter" with long disjointed attacks.

Neutral Special- Sow: The Farmer takes out their bag of seeds and throws out a handful of seeds. The seeds are a spammable low damage and low knockback projectile that travel in an arc. If the seeds land upon a flat surface it will start to sprout into a crop (Potatoes, Tomatoes, Eggplant, Turnips and Pumpkins; the different crops are simply visual) Once seeds hit the ground, Crops take 7 seconds to fully grow and have 10 health each. A max of 5 crops can be out at a time.

Up Special- Chicken Glide: The Farmer lifts a chicken over their head that frantically flaps its wings. After lifting the Farmer a vertical distance, the chicken continues to slow the fall of the Farmer for 3 seconds then the farmer lets go. The farmer can let go of the chicken early, but if the player holds for the entire duration, the chicken will drop an egg that the player can eat to recover 3% health.

Side Special- Reap: The Farmer wildly swings their sickle 3 times in a multi-hit attack with high ending lag. The player may move and chance directions while using this attack. If the Farmer uses Reap and hits a crop the player gains a speed boost and it reduces the ending lag. If the Farmer hits a fully-grown crop, they will also recover 4% HP.

Down Special- Cow Bell: The Farmer rings a bell and a cow is summoned behind them. The Cow is a physical object that can be stood on, block attacks, and launches any enemies that get trampled by it. (Think like a slow Gogoat) The Cow moves at a slow but steady pace, it is affected by gravity, and will stop once it hits a wall or a ledge. The Cow cannot be hurt in anyway and only one can be out at a time.

Final Smash- The Harvest Goddess: Out of a pool of water, the Harvest goddess appears before the Farmer, surrounded by a circle of dancing harvest sprites. The goddess grants the wish of strength and restores 30% HP to the Farmer. Any foes that are caught around the circle of dancing harvest sprites will take 25% damage and a burst of knockback.

Intro animation- Dismounts from a horse

Up Taunt- Handkerchief

Side Taunt- The Farmers dog appears and he gives him a pet

Down Taunt- The Farmer eats some "Jelly Doughnuts"

Winning Animation 1: The Farmer eagerly Catches a Blue Feather.
Winning Animation 2: The Farmer's dog pounces on and licks the farmer.
Winning Animation 3: The Farmer Rings their bell and is suddenly surrounded by a horse, a cow and a chicken.

I wouldn't. At most, I'd probably say "Thank you" in the YouTube comment section or ****post about how my most wanted got in.

Edit: whoops read that wrong sorry. I'd probably play something dumb.
