Still should be taken with a grain of salt like the Wolf, Krystal, Isaac, and Wonder Red costume thing, but PushDust got a response from either the same guy that stated they were costumes (whether or not they were the OP) or some other random guy looking to get in on the deception action that states no new characters will be shown tomorrow and that there is also a Bomberman costume.

I have the whole convo here:

The only full Mii Fighter costume based on a playable character so far is Link.

They went out of their way to use a different Link design than the one in-game. The Mii suit is Skyward Sword Link, the fighter is Twilight Princess Link.
That's a valid point, but the costume still exists. The design difference doesn't seem to deter Sakurai from removing Conductor Link from Spirit Train when Twilight Princess Link is on the stage.

The characters with in-game-roles already have the same designs: Isabelle, KK Slider, Chrom, Mega Man forms, Dunban, etc.

Yes, I know these are not playable characters, but this is the man that removes a 2D sprite of King Dedede from a retro stage, that's existed that way for 20 years, when said character is on the field.

I just don't think there's enough evidence to say that this is the end of the road for K. Rool yet.

Imagine this: today sakurai showed us k.rool mii outfit. Then friday a direct happens and we see a new character trailer. Its dixie kong. And during her trailer everybody thinks: "**** you sakurai how can you do that! You give us dixie instead of k.rool and he is a ****ing mii oufit???" And so on... and then king k.rool trailer at the end of dixie trailer! This would be so hype.

It kinda confuses me as well thinking what if the the stage is on 3DS as well and that song is on Pico Chat.

I think the song might get replaced on Flat Zone X.
I honestly don't think the stage will be on 3DS for some reason. Mainly due to the 3DS maybe not being able to handle the viruses very well. The stage is also next to Miiverse, which may suggest its a free addition. Nonetheless, hopefully the remixes are good!

Many K.Rool fans wouldn't mind Dixie though, they would be screaming bloody murder if the costume got in the trailer

It's impossible to know who was the original leaker, as they didn't use tripcode. So I'd say we are at ground 0 when it comes to who will be revealed as fighter costumes tomorrow
(assuming it's legit).

There's more evidence on the side of him being finished, which is why I'm leaning in that direction.

I'm pretty sure that's a troll.

He deliberately chose a bunch of popular characters to try and rustle people's jimmies.

tbh all of the chrom supporters coming out of the woodwork are kind of baffling to me
the majority of people i talked to between ike and robin last year pretty much talked about how bland and cloney he'd be
and with him both being a final smash and there being as many FE characters as zelda ones?
i don't... why did people think the ballot would get chrom in

I can't believe I forgot how good the first 3 Sonic games' OST were
3 & Knuckles is still the best.

Thank you based Howard Drossin and Michael Jackson. You'll also love the Sonic CD soundtrack as well.

Maybe only the pills will be hazards. Remember Wily Castle has Yellow Devil in both versions, Gaur Plains doesn't have Metal Face on 3DS.

I'm finally back. Had to take a break from Saltboards for a lil while, it just got a bit tiring. I can't wait for Hyrule Castle on Friday. Much earlier than I expected honestly.

I have a single prediction when it comes to a costume. Shovel Knight.

Why?
Wow…was that too much information? Stay tuned this coming month because we have even more crazy cool news to reveal. For instance, a final Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows release date and trailer! Also… we’ve heard the cries of bringing more exclusive content to Nintendo platforms. It might not be quite what you expect… but keep an eye out for another MEGATON announcement soon!
Just a hunch.

I think it's a fair viewpoint, but I'm not willing to commit to it just yet. Either way, I'm not emotionally invested to the character so the outcome won't affect me.

At this rate, I believe Isaac stands among the likeliest to be one of the ballot winners, unless further developments say otherwise. Likewise, he could also just be entirely ignored, but we are starting to run of of major players. Bandana Dee, Dixie Kong, and maybe another third-party(?) are dark-horse candidates that could sprint themselves into victory, as well. Dixie Kong is all I have left to root for, anyways, besides Banjo & Kazooie. But their chances are next-to-nil, so yeah.

Also, I won't believe it until I see the hard evidence, but theoretically, the only type of Mii Costume that I would consider to be 'insulting' is Wolf (or any other formerly playable character). It may be "better than nothing", but it would just feel... empty. It's pretending to play as a character who already was playable once before, except as a Mii. It's not the same.

Wouldn't surprise me.
I'm mainly just posting that because of the Bomberman thing, since I don't think that was mentioned yet.

Great Bay was confirmed fake.
It was? I kinda wanna see how the faker pulled it off.

Dr. Mario is still undetermined.
I think one of the things that makes it look more legit is the soundtrack. Only few would think of a game as obscure as Mario's Super Picross for Smash.

Speaking of, the beat is kinda catchy.

Sonic CD's JP/EU OST is my favorite of all time.

Knuckles Chaotix's is also very overlooked.

I don't really see an issue. It's a pretty major piece of news. It's like....."Hey, the community's undisputed most-wanted newcomer might've been disconfirmed!".

And the debating going on has been quite civil. Nowhere near as heated as it was yesterday.
That is very true. I suppose I'm just one to get over things quickly.

I spoke my mind and listened to others. No new information or view points have been added recently, so it just feels like people are gently bumping into each other and and slowly going in circles. There's nothing wrong with the conversation, but it seems unnecessarily repetitive at the moment. A bit too much for my taste.

But, hey, it's a forum. What can ya do about it?

He's always been more popular than the grand majority of the disconfirmed characters aside from the major ones like Ridley.

If it's okay to support Assist Trophies with extremely tiny support bases, I think it's okay to do the same for Chrom even despite how badly he's been buried.

sonic cd's soundtrack is just weird
It may seem weird but damn does it get that perfect feeling of 90s Hip Hop/R&B.


It's one of the reasons why I'm kinda tired of the buttrock stuff or the orchestrated music in future games. Adventure, Advance 3 and Unleashed did it right in the music department

Just a hunch.
Yeah, I feel you're right.
Shovel Knight will probably not be considered prestigious enough to be a fighter which is why I always expected a costume if he got enough support.
A shame though.

Yeah, I think the Dr. Mario one is real- there are, what, 5 pictures? And no one's found anything wrong with them. Either the leak is super consistent or it's real. We knew the viruses were in the code so it WOULD be the stage to fake, just like Rayman was the easiest newcomer to fake since he was a trophy.

I've got a few questions

1. How long can a custom stage be on miiverse without getting removed?

2. anyone know a person who makes really good 8 bit stages?
