You know, I need to push hard to get Snake in the game.... because that would mean Konami Mii costumes.

And the following would be awesome:

Brawler:


Sword Fighter:


Gunner:


...Contra Gunner Costumes would also be amazing, but I don't think they would happen since their guns are "realistic."

Look at it this way.

If K.Rool's issue was relevance.

Then Isaac actually fits.

2010 means the series is less "dead" then Punch Out!! :4littlemac:

While K.Rool "died" in 2008.

To be fair, Punch Out wasn't a massive flop like Dark Dawn.

And it's far likelier of the two series to get another game.

Pikachu is in every game.
I can catch a Magikarp almost anywhere.
Kanto is in four different generations.

Generations arent at all a logical way to divide Pokemon by- its an extremely inconsenquential marker that defines little of the differences of the character. People who holler about 'generational representation' issues provide no reason with why it matters what generation a Pokemon is from- color coding Pokemon is as efficient.

And for that matter, if we are counting generations, than lets exclude Mewtwo, Charizard, Pikachu, and Jigglypuff from the count, as none of them were included for their generation. It is an arbitrary and superficial way to differentiate Pokemon and the Pokemon variety, which is, quite literally, as saying 'we do not need another Pokemon whose name starts with a G.' We can play off of many tropes in the pokemon world- multiple battle mechanics, item holding, types, strategy, game genre, media of mass encounter-- but playing the generational game is an ignorant view of what is important to the series.

I think Ditto would be better in that role, honestly.

I would have to disagree; many fighting games have a character that 'takes moves' based on other characters; I described Mokujin from Tekken, but San Tsung is a similar character as well. We could say Kirby is our guy in this game, but I think it would be fun if one character kept his body, and had a moveset mostly dependent on the other character. Ditto simply transforms, his body is no different.

Also Punch Out is culturally relevant in the West. ALL the time.

Just because it's not getting games pumped out the ass doesn't mean it's a dead series. The last time it was considered dead was before the Wii game.

Remember, U.S., Europe and Japan was way different taste and popularity with games.

Like how :4link::4samus: are more popular here more so than Japan

:4kirby::4villager:&:4marth: are much bigger in Japan than the West

And how :4sonic: has a much bigger following in Europe especially England due to how successful the Mega Drive (or Genesis for us Americans) over there. And :4shulk: has major popularity there but that's due to how NOE did the dubbing for the game

That day will come, but not today. Too many points against the Dr. Mario stage for it to be true. It's [Dr. Mario stage] a good "leak" but this leaker is banking all his credibility on riding that wave.

As much as I defend Mii FIghters... I will gladly mod them out for Ice Climbers, Snake, and which ever other vet doesn't make it back if Smash 4 modding gets to that point.

I completely missed the Dr. Mario stage getting wrecked.

Props to the person who made it, it was very well-done. And it was good that they didn't go with the recent fad of making leaks look like they were part of Nintendo Direct.

i may be misremembering, but i'm fairly certain that "privilege test" originated on some 4chan board - i recall a version with one of the categories being sex.
i guess just... it seems wrong to drag nonbinary people or whoever when you're gay or trans or whatever yourself.
anyway lloyd is cool.

Also with the Dr. Mario stage the omega/regular versions have different sources of light. Stage icon looks like "high noon" while regular looks like 2 PM (look at the shadows). All omega/regular combos have the same sources of light as far as I can tell.

:happysheep: Final Caught up... With all the news. You people went up 20 pages while I slept.
Thank the Lord Isaac isn't out of the Running ( Yet :I ) The new costumes look good at the very least.
Have I missed anything else? Oh yeah new castlevania had me lost for words.

So in Terms of New Characters I can tell you for fact if there is one (Which is un-likely, at least I think so. By all means Prove me wrong Sakurai) it won't be Wolf because it isn't August yet :gova:

I'm not really getting my hopes up. but I'm waiting to see if Nintendo announces a direct today. I believe they announced one late on March 31st for the last direct. Not really anticipating one, but you never really know.

If it has ledges I could see it being legit. Doubt it'll get much chance with how people are now adays without though.

The aspect ratio is wrong for Hyrule, Peach and Dr. Mario, but it's correct for Dream, Suzaku and Miiverse. I don't really know how to explain it more clearly, but the supposed 1.0.10 stages don't fit with the corresponding pictures at all, while the 1.0.8 stages do.

Yeah, despite that being used to target Tumblr it's not some Big Thing on Tumblr, or a thing at all there, and some quick googling indicates it was made by 4chan as a parody. The fact that it labels bisexuals and Jewish people as being privileged is a preeetty big red flag that, pointless or not, it was also created by somebody who has no clue what they're doing or is trying to troll people.

Considering she's the only "indie" character (which lets be honest she's not even indie due to her first game being on the GBC and licensed by Capcom), people are gonna ride that wave high. Rayman is a perfect example of this as well.

Atleast it's not like Shovel Knight
