NintenZone Social Thread: Shovel Knight Amiibo Hype Catastrophe (feat. Swamp)

[vaanrose]

If there were new characters dropping tomorrow I feel like Nintendo would've at least had something at Pax, especially considering Pax is still going on tomorrow. As it is, there's not a single Smash setup on the show floor. It's all Mario Maker and Xenoblade.

 

[MainJPW]

its better than being an elitist because a handheld version will always be better than asking for chaingrab the character

"3ds ruined the roster" rofl

Saw that coming.

 

[Soul.]

Saw that coming.

my bias from the gift of the gods that is the 3DS version will never go away

Best we could hope for is a leak in a patch that probably isn't even coming.

 

[Z25]

If nothing drops tomorrow( which is likely), I still would have a feeling that by the 15th of September we would have something new.

 

[Substitution]

Here's a game for you guys, pick the three most likely characters to get in through the ballot not including veterans, 3rd party characters and characters with Mii costumes.

1: The character I really want and will call others "stupid" for not liking.
2: The one I want despite having zero chance of getting in no matter how much I grasp straws.
3: Some throwaway safe character to appeal to the other users.

Goddamn, Nintendo is trying their hardest for Splatoon. I guess Smash is old news now

Let's be honest, does Smash 4 really need advertising at this point?

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Are the same people that's saying K. Rool is still possible saying that the Inklings are disconfirmed?
If not, you're being one to judge over something that isn't a fair assessment.

From my experience.Yes there were people on the forum(i dont believe this thread) when the mintue we got the inkling costumes p said they were disconfirmed but the mintue we got k rool they said we he still got a change.

 

[PushDustIn]

In Japan they do.

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

In Japan they do.

Japan has the best trailers. They are just like the actual reveal trailers too.

Not everyone thought that. I'm sure the Inkling trophy and costumes exist solely to promote Splatoon and has nothing to do with the ballot, that's all I see.

 

[GamerGuy09]

Reddit posted a Maintenance Monday Megathread. Personally I find that these guys are way too hopeful that something will happen.

 

[Solfiner]

I honestly have no clue which characters are likely right now. If this is what Sakurai wanted, he succeeded.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

If not, you're being one to judge over something that isn't a fair assessment.

Indeed.

For example, I feel Inkling and K.Rool are both entirely possible.

 

[Champ Gold]

**** you Japan. Why do you guys get all the good stuff?

I'm telling you a commercial like this would be great in the West

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

You know, I wish you could still do this in the newer Smash games.

This was so awesome back in the day.

Here's a game for you guys, pick the three most likely characters to get in through the ballot not including veterans, 3rd party characters and characters with Mii costumes.

this is SERIOUSLY not something I think I put too much into, but I think I'll have to explain it before.

I can;t choose kkr nor inklings. To me that would make me want to wolf OR maybe snake, but can't.

So then I come to isaac, and I don;t think so, seemingly becomming not much for his series lately and his inconsistent popularity.

So I am left with bdee and paper mario which I consider have at least enough chances to be considered.

My reasoning is that I do feel if I compare both, Paper mario just feels more consistent and higher in popularity. I won't get into potential, because they both have enough. Also, they are both relevant lately (bdee got a name and as coincidental as it sounds, same for paper mario, lol).

So you get that I kinda have to say paper mario, but here;s the problem:

tbh, it came to a point where who I consider the most likely is pointless. There's so much assumed stuff that everything can go wrong. What if the costume somehow wasn't because they weren't there? What if they did intended to put wolf back? What if they did some weird stuff to get snake? idk, my problem is no one can be sure.

And then you have that SK leak showing that even my quite confident belief that third party were very unlikely might just be wrong too. And the last thing: who knows how many will be there?

Like my point is even if I might sound biased, it just means nothing because I realised that saying who is the most likely won;t get to much.....

EDIT: I also didn't mention that paper mario could be hindered by some people not wanting to vote for him because of redundancy and the con of him being a mario rep, who knows what sakurai values more......

[Deleted member]

There's no problem if you think both are still possible
There's a problem if you think only one of them is

 

[aldelaro5]

Japan has the best trailers. They are just like the actual reveal trailers too.

fun fact: even paper mario commercial in JP for spm are MUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH better

 

[Z25]

My three likely picks out of those not "deconfirmed"?

1) Paper Mario
2) Wonder Red or bandanna dee
3) Dixie Kong

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

"3ds ruined the roster" rofl

Your point is moot since you can't even chain grab in Smash 4.

GG no RE.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

You know what would be great.
K Rool and inkling becoming DLC in the same update/ pack.
I wonder how many people would be caught off guard by it.

 

[Soul.]

Oh you can. You just have to stop climbing

 

[Con0rrrr]

I agree that I honestly have no idea wtf Sakurai is gonna do in terms of characters.

And when that happens, the unexpected happens.

Which is why I expect Ridley. For some reason Sakurai'll just go "**** it" and put him in as DLC and watch as his Wii U begins to print money.

But if I expect it, it can't happen.

So I don't expect it.

But I do.

I don't.

I... do?

I don't.

I do?

 

[Radical Bones]

Toad.
Dixie Kong.
A RH rep.

I dunno.

I think you mean DThrow -> FF Up air -> Re grab

And Sakurai would just do that just for the lolz.

Sakurai: JK guys, Ridley was easy to make, I just was messing with you guys.

dude sheik makes smash 4 not look interesting. i want nerfs. why not buff anyone???? it doesn't work!

You can't make jokes about Sakurai, remember?

No fun allowed.

Sakurai isn't that crazy. You guys are making him out like he's a trollmaster, when really it's moreso unintentional. He isn't Ed Boon where he's intentionally screwing with everyone or Harada where he tells everyone if they don't like his ideas then go jump offa cliff

Did they recant their views on Inkling after K. Rool's costume was shown?
i.e. They initially believed that costume = disconfirmation until K. Rool. Then they believed costume =/= disconfirmation.

 

[Burb]

If he is indeed arriving here, might as well grab some popcorn. We might witness history today of @ Burb vs. Etika in this very thread.

What would we argue about?

I think he's unfunny and is more concerned with getting news stories out as quickly as possible than he is about making sure he knows what he's talking about.

What's he going to say? "NO I'M NOT UNFUNNY! "? It's not a Smash debate or anything, it's me not liking his character. There's nothing for us to argue about.

From my experience.Yes there were people on the forum(i dont believe this thread) when the mintue we got the inkling costumes p said they were disconfirmed but the mintue we got k rool they said we he still got a change.

^ To be fair, the two situations are somewhat different.

Inkling also had the trophy pop up as DLC alongside the costume; and the trophy is arguably a bigger hit to their chances than the costume (because they wouldn't just send out a random Inkling trophy as DLC if they were even going to be considered for a playable role. It's not the same at all as the Mewtwo and Lucas trophies).

 

[SlickWylde]

No fun allowed.

He's not saying nobody can make fun of Sakurai. There's a difference between making fun of someone and constantly stereotyping and applying something that's not true about someone. It'd be like me saying something annoying about you, and even though it's not true, everybody on the board starts saying it, and just bringing it up randomly like it's true. For the people that like you, it'd annoy them to keep seeing that false stereotype constantly projected on you.

People just think you hate everyone because you use logic and have a brain.

Sakurai: "You want Ridley? Fine. Here's Proto-Ridley."

"Now shut up and leave me alone."

EDIT BY PUSHDUSTIN: The image is too big. (I swear I'm not making a joke of Ridley, look at the new rules).
EDIT BY GOLDENYUIITUSIN: It was one of the smaller images I could find without being too small to where you could hardly see the beast and it's still too big? Here's a different image instead. The joke is ruined more by the use of spoiler brackets than the size of the image anyway.
