4/10 ain't bad

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Smash 4 could really be called ''Welcomed Surprise."

WFT, Lucina, Robin, Bowser Jr (after Rosalina or vice versa for Jr fans), Doc coming back, Ryu, Roy, and Lucas in DLC, Greninja, Shulk.

I don't know that anyone was really a bad choice in the end.

 

[SkywardStriker16]

My top 10 sometime after the Smash Bros. Direct reveal were
10. Mewtwo
9. Shulk
8. Meta Knight
7. W101
6. Chibi-Robo
5. Palutena
4. KKR
3. Ravio
2. Ridley
1. Ghirahim
...I mean, I did get four of them

 

[Aurora Jenny]

this was actually before i came back to smash boards. back then, I knew IntelliHeath from GAF and he wanted duck hunt dog and convinced me before the game was even revealed

i thought such an idea would be too good to be true but as time passes, i kinda wanted duck hunt dog more and more

then came that ESRB leak, my mind was blown seeing him and dr. mario

was sad about mewtwo, but then the DLC happened.... :D

Ahh, okay then Naoshi. That I can understand. Heh. Carry on!

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I remember being really really really ****ing happy for @ Arcadenik when Duck Hunt was confirmed through the leak.

 

[eltacoenojado]

None of the newcomers were ones I particularly wanted, but I'm happy with all of them except Dark Pit. I did want Ridley, K Rool, Isaac, and Mewtwo back. I got Mewtwo, now I just need Wolf back and I'll be satisfied. But of course I won't say no to more characters.

 

[Burb]

After reading a lot of Kamiya's recent tweets, I'm changing my stance on the whole Wonderful 101 sequel thing.

Still don't think it's happening since the first game bombed so badly, but I'm no longer labeling it an impossibility, and would not be surprised now if it IS the Platinum Games announcement.

Keep in mind it's Kamiya.

His Twitter is dedicated to screwing with fans.

I'm fully aware. That's the other reason why I still don't think it's happening.

I'm just saying I don't think there's no chance of it happening anymore.

I don't really care either way; like I've said, I never played the first one and don't care about it or a potential sequel. I'm just stating this because I've been pretty vocal over my opinion about the sequel over the past couple days.

 

[Arcadenik]

Duck Hunt Dog... I still cannot believe Sakurai actually put him in the game... my god, I must have been annoying Smash fans on Nsider, NinDB, and SmashBoards with my Duck Hunt Dog propaganda for 12 years... even got into arguments that occasionally escalated into flame wars with several detractors on here like Smashchu, Johnknight, Habanero, and ToiseOfChoice... and several detractors on NinDB including the webmaster... the more they rejected it, the more I wanted it... and my pay day finally came. It's just like what Gandhi said... first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I've seen too many bombs or underperfoming things get sequels in all forms of medium to never write off new sequels.

Basically if it's not like Tomorrowland where you lost a **** ton of money. You can still get a follow up these days if there's enough outcry or attention or desire.

 

[BluePikmin11]

DHD made sense from a historical retro point of view, I was a supporter before the bandwagon began.

Dreams DO come true and shows that no one should ever give up hope on what they're shoot for, eh? *beat* Unless you're a Ridley or Geno fan it seems.

 

[Burb]

Given that he's from a series with a billion other reps that matter more to the Mario series, and a third party character from a company that has a billion more recognizable, more iconic characters, Geno not coming true is for the best.

man i'm never going to stop laughing over johnknight's whole spiel

Certainly in agreement with you on this point, Burb. Say, I just thought of something. There's a lot of things people jump on as 'evidence' towards someone's potential to be in Smash, but what is truly the things we should be looking for? What are the requirements for something to be relevant or raise a character's likelihood? I'm just curious.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I actually support Koopa Troopa.

Like a henchmen character would be neato~

Though would Koopa Troopa be in the way of Kamek, considering he's a henchman as well?

 

[Arcadenik]

man i'm never going to stop laughing over johnknight's whole spiel

I occasionally read through their old anti-DHD posts and laugh.

 

[Soul.]

I support Speculation the character.
It's coming when the next ESRB-esque leak shows up.

 

[Substitution]

I would say Kamek is more of a character than just an enemy. Kinda like how Yoshi is a species but also a character.

 

[Spinosaurus]

The only newcomers I wanted that got in were Little Mac and Bowser Jr but the former ended up having a moveset I really hate and the latter is so clunky to use lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But at least Doc is back...except they nerfed him. This would be OK if they finished the Rhythm Heaven character but nope to that too.

So, it's Thursday.

Who wants to bet on which crazy thing happens today?

I have to say, ever since I first joined SmashBoards, I always respected that you stuck with your most wanted, no matter how small of a chance they had. I was never against the idea of Duck Hunt Dog, in fact, I was okay with it, but seeing him in Smash made me happy, not just because he got in, but because you got your most wanted. I always think of to your dedication when it comes to the characters I support, how I should always support them, no matter the odds. I thank you for that.

Megaman Legends 3 and Misadventures of Tron Bonne 2 confirmed for Wii U and 3DS respectively.

 

[OurBraveHero]

The main 2 hype moments for me were Megaman and Little Mac (both of whom I wanted in ever since the original Smash Bros) but I find it pretty funny that I don't really play either of them sadly. Oh and Mewtwo being confirmed as DLC (which is actually the character I use the most now)

 

[Burb]

I actually support Koopa Troopa.

Like a henchmen character would be neato~

Though would Koopa Troopa be in the way of Kamek, considering he's a henchman as well?

100% agreed. Koopa would be at the top of my list of Mario characters that should be next in line.

I don't think it'd screw over Kamek, since they'd play completely differently. Koopa would be a fast physical fighter with a lot of shell-based moves, while Kamek would be centered around magic projectiles.

Plus I would imagine Kamek would be categorized as a Yoshi rep. I think his trophy is listed under Mario in SSB4, but he definitely belongs under the Yoshi umbrella, imo.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Just got home from school.

Man, Friday tomorrow is going to fly by thanks to this excursion I have tomorrow XD

It will be another step closer to the Smash Direct and the Nintendo Digital Event

 

[Curious Villager]

I sadly didn't really get any newcomer I actively supported in (Rosalina and Palutena where characters I liked to see, but I didn't really support them as actively as some other characters).

But that said. Toon Link's return alone was arguebly my most hype moment and was just as good as getting any newcomer. Especially after all the trash me and some others had to put up with his detractors.....

Seeing Mewtwo back was great too.

 

[PushDustIn]

100% agreed. Koopa would be at the top of my list of Mario characters that should be next in line.

Kamek and Yoshi are weird because they are recurring characters in the main Mario series but they've stared together in spinoffs.

Let's not forget that the original Yoshi Island was called Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. While Yoshi has his own series, he's definitely much closer to Mario than Wario or event Doctor Mario. I kind of think Yoshi's Story is the only reason Yoshi got a unique Emblem in 64. If Luigis Mansion had been a thing on the 64, then Luigi might have even gotten one.

Edit: And if Wario was introduced in Melee it's possible he would've been given the mushroom kingdom Emblem too.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Wow Reddit is on fire! And is going the way of Digg.

Anyways, out of the newcomers I wanted in, only Shulk made it. Also I'm glad Hyrule Warriors is getting a 3DS port mainly because....

Spoiler

I actually have no intention to get a Wii U. Please don't maim me.

 

[Radical Bones]

My Top 10 would have been:

1. Bowser Jr.
2. Dixie Kong
3. King K. Rool
4. Isaac
5. Excitebiker
6. Tingle
7. Dillon
8. Paper Mario
9. Little Mac
10. Tom Nook

Now that I have Bowser Jr, I don't really like him that much...

Well I do... I just suck as him.

I'm pretty confident that one of the eight will eventually make it into a Smash game.

 

[joetherocker]

I don't know if my hype levels are higher for Lucas/Smash Direct, Hyrule warriors 3D, or the fact that neither was considered important enough to be a part of the digital event.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

man i'm never going to stop laughing over johnknight's whole spiel

Someone actually sent me a photo link to some of his posts for my dramatic reading bet. I might actually do it just for the ****s and giggles.

Shameless plug:

I bet that there will be TWO character reveals at E3 (Lucas not counted). If two characters are not announced between 6/14 to 6/16, then I'll read the worst story out of the ones voted for. Get your votes in before then.

http://goo.gl/forms/gOhQFEOTDA <- Vote here

Shameless plug aside, prior to E3 2013, I decided to make a list of five characters I wanted in Smash Bros. (I'm simple I know.)
1. Megaman
2. Palutena
3. Chrom
4. Shulk
5. Mewtwo

If anyone knows me from GameFAQs, I adamantly supported all five of these characters. Especially Palutena and Shulk. I initially despised Rosalina because I thought if she got in Palutena wouldn't. Shulk had a lot of detractors, and I was one of the few Shulk supporters there. In the end, I got 4.5/5 of my characters (I count Robin as he's a FE Awakening character, and I got one of them.)

Hypest trailer for me would have to be Shulk's trailer. I didn't watch it until later that day, but watching it I was hyping out. The fight between Shulk, Marth, and Link is amazingly done, and seeing Shulk fight both of them at once just shows how skilled of a fighter he truly is, and it's easily the most intense fight in any of the trailers.

Robin's trailer was cool too, but I got caught up in the hype of #MonadoMonday, so I got trolled hard. I remember being slightly mad because I was expecting Shulk so much. And with Gematsu disproven, Shulk's chances were looking as bad as ever. After Takamaru was revealed as an AT, I started to lose hope that Shulk would get in.

But he did, and I beat Classic 9.0 on Wii U with him.

in one try.

[Naoshi]

I always felt Shulk was a shoe-in since Xenoblade was a success and recent enough to get a slot in, just like Ness in Smash 64. So I was pretty happy to see him getting in. He wasn't on my "want" but I knew he could make it!


...Come to think of it, I totally forgot I somewhat wanted Robin, but I also thought of "Anna" at the time since she appeared in so many FE games, but she wasn't my "want want", my real want as far as FE went was just "a relevant FE character who isn't a blue hair swordsman". Robin came to mind during that as well.

...So yeah technically, Robin was another newcomer I wanted and got in as well. Neat.


Also, where did that gif come from? lol That's awesome.

I literally just google "walking away from an explosion gifs" and it was a related result to a picture version of the gif.
