Well, the new Kirby game just came out in the West. Meta Knight Reveal for Miiverse Monday? It happened to Zeda with ALBW.
We had 3 the first E3 for newcomers. I suspect at least that many again. It would be really cool if they revealed the veteran villains (Mewtwo, Wario, Ganondorf) and reveal K. Rool, Ridley, and Ghirahim for the newcoming villains
Agreed. I think we'll get a few veteran reveals and one or two newcomers. My guess would be Chrom / Ghirahim, and for vets probably just Ganondorf, Wario, Falco Meta Knight, and, if he's in the game, Mewtwo.
They revealed three newcomers during the first trailer AT E3. You shouldn't be that surprised that people expect more than three.
Yes, but that was the first announcement, they would reveal a few newcomers when you first see the game.
I'd imagine the general consensus is that, since the game is likely going to wind up dropping as soon as a month or two after E3, what harm is it going to do to reveal a few more newcomers, and finally confirm the return of some veterans? They're rapidly running out of time to reveal the stuff they're looking to reveal.
Never said all those characters were going to appear. Just a list of possibilities
Well there was 10 newcomers revealed before Brawl's release, 4 in the first trailer, the next 6 throughout development. 3 were revealed w/Sm4sh's announcement, and so far we have 6 newcomers announced. Now the final number of starting newcomers is unknown, we could very well only get 1 or 2 more newcomers, but there is likely a few more they are going to reveal. Since the 3DS game (which has the same final roster as the Wii U game) is coming out relatively soon after E3, they need to reveal either the rest of the newcomers at E3 or at least 2 or 3 more. In the case of the latter, last couple the week(s) or day(s) before release will see the reveals of the remaining starting newcomers.
Yeah, but a lot of people were saying multiple newcomers.
I don't know how many more they CAN reveal. The rest of the newcomers are most likely unlockable and he's not going to reveal those in a trailer unless they're special.
Shhh. Don't tell anyone, but I have a 'source'.
'cause it's E3. It's the last legitimate chance for the year to build hype for the game 'cept Tokyo Game Show, and that's in mid-late September. Chances are the 3DS version will be out long before that point.
i wont have to you just did it for me
Stage skins would be cool. Like, maybe there would be a version of Palutena's Temple where it's destroyed like in KI:U. Same platforms and stuff, just aesthetic changes.
Stahp predicting Ridley. You're like those people who say MJ isn't dead.
He is a stage hazard. If you can't face that, you're in denial.
I don't recall Sakurai saying "Ridley is a stage hazard, he's not a playable character,.. here you can see clearly him, you can see his fully body model, not only his shadow.. We're cool, go home". XD...
He probably just thinks we will hype about him being a stage hazard... lol
"We didn't introduce ALL the Assist Trophies in the Smash Bros. Direct. Here's Dillon from Dillon's Rolling Western!!"
Sakurai clearly knows there's interest in Ridley being a playable character. The fact that he didn't come right out and say 'By the way, Ridley's just a stage hazard/boss. Sorry!' during the last Direct, and instead, alluded to it and gave us no concrete evidence says that there's something there for Ridley that he's choosing not to show us, but wanted to let us know that this is a thing. Normally I would just consider it Sakurai being a troll as usual, but the fact that he does it several times in varying ways during the last Direct - Pseudo-Palutena and the Kremlings among them - lends credence to the idea certain characters are going to be playable.
No god **** it I will fight for Ridley to the end
Well oops, I forgot to add if they were in the game.
Sakurai says that an enemy from Samus' past will appear on Pyrosphere, then shows what is clearly Ridley's shadow on Pyrosphere while talking about other boss character appearances. Both of these can be explained by the fact that Ridley's model probably just isn't done yet. When you see his tail flash by the camera for a second in the Direct, the texture is really blurry and not detailed.
Ah, I remember when Little Mac and Toon Link were deconfirmed. Good old times.
Wait, why was Little Mac deconfirmed?
Villager Boxing gloves.
That seems a pretty strange reason to deconfirm him. Toon Link was shown directly, so that one is reasonable, but you never even saw Little Mac. Why do you jump to conclusions about Little Mac so quickly yet deny Ridley so much?
Also, there wasn't any mention to Punch-Out series in the box ring stage. What I mean is Ridley is just being trolling, just like Toon Link and Little Mac were. Maybe it's a stage boss or an assist trophy or whatever, but if it's eventually a playable one, I wouldn't say "OH GOD IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE!!".
Don't accuse him. Maybe he meant others thought this.
My guess is that he's referring to the lava.
"But ChunkyBeef," you sigh in exasperation. "That just says that Ridley won't be a playable character."
