Really? I remember you saying how "undeserving" the Advance Wars franchise was of having a playable character not too long ago.
Compared to Starfy and other nominees. Not to mention we were talking about DLC. Looks like you don't remember very well. :rolleyes:

*Smart aleck
Firefox's spell check sees it as a misspelling and tries to "correct" the E.

I've never cared too much about Nintendo/Advance Wars, but I'd love a character from the series, especially after seeing some fan-based movesets on these forums.
Strategy-based moves would bring something pretty cool and unique to the battleground.

I think the fumes of hype and anticipation are getting to you guys' heads which is causing you to read/look into stuff that isn't really there. Do we honestly believe Sakurai would develop a stage in a particular manner to ambiguously tease a character who is mostly requested in North America? I fear these holes may support the belief that Ridley unfortunately may indeed be a stage hazard, which MAY be the implication of Sakurai's comment on the stage itself.

Yeah, people read too much into it. I can safely say few people want him as bad as I do, 10 years waiting for your favorite video game character isn't easy, but I'm still not gullibe enough to think a hole in the wall is intentionally shaped like Ridley's head, it's the whole "in the clouds" deal over again. I do believe the holes are just aesthetics, nothing to do with gameplay though, but it's not Ridley's head, it's just a rift in the wall, nothing more, nothing less.

I will be honest. When I first saw that red above Samus, I actually thought Ridley was confirmed to be a stage hazard and Samus was getting hit by Ridley's fireballs. But closer inspection showed that it was just Link stabbing Samus.

I'm going to be the first to ask this, but what do you guys think that horizontal shockwave above Samus' red trail is?
Is it exploding out of the lava? Or is it a shockwave sent from the right side of the screen?

It's a part of the launch effect, as seen in the other pictures where characters are launched away.

Hm... Meteor smashes are nice and all. But I don't like the thought of hitting them straight into the stage opposed to hitting them into the top blastbox.

Like the Sakurai quote says, it depends on where and when you hit them in the animation. If you hit them with the tip right at the start of the animation, it becomes a meteor smash. A good Link player will be able to fire the target into the direction he wants to.

I consider that the new meteor smash of Link is a nerf more than a buff lol.
That attack is laggy as hell and with Link's crappy recovery it will result in more suicides than meteor smashes.
His down air was like the only decent attack of Link.
Opinions? XD

I have a feeling that im going to kill myself alot trying to do this move. Anyone with a brainstem can avoid this move and if its as laggy as it was in brawl, theres no way youll be able to recover if you miss.

Not really a nerf, but it is by no means a buff either haha

I wouldn't consider them just lower priority, I would consider them characters that don't deserve to be playable in the first place and don't fit in (even as DLC). I don't think they would have priority in the first place even if there were 60 slots.

I feel DLC should be for planned/removed characters and alternate versions of existing characters. (And no I don't think Krystal & Andy will ever be planned characters, thus I don't think they'll be planned DLC either.)
Sure, I'm the one that doesn't remember it well.

The hole that everyone seems to think is shaped like Ridley's head was in the very first Pyrosphere picture if I'm not mistaken. Nobody seems to have noticed it then.

Yeah, I know what one they're talking about, and people did point that out on the very first day. It sort of looks like Ridley's head, but it's really stretching it imo, and I don't believe Sakurai made it so intentionally, it'd just be silly to do so. It's just a cool rift, it looks awesome, and it's awesome decoration, nothing more, nothing less.

So guys if you need to choose one who will be it?
Ridley or King K. Rool?

.n_n.
As much as I like K. Rool, of course it's gonna be Ridley. I'd choose Ridley over any other character either way, which this kind of proves since K. Rool is my second most wanted character. It's kind of unfair for K. Rool to match up against my favorite video game character though.

If you can get me a roster image of Smash 64 Luigi, i'd happily switch it for you.

It would be very interesting to see the reactions of fans if Ridley becomes a stage hazard.

I'm calling it right now. At least one of Ridley, K.Rool, Palutena or Mewtwo is going to be playable in Smash 4. it's just going to happen.

About the nintendo wars character, my assumption is a snake clone.
But i want snake again, sonic just sucks, so maybe next game we'll see our generic orange star unit.

I think our chances of playing the following characters are this:

Ridley > Mewtwo > King K. Rool > Palutena
