What veteran(s) are we most excited to see!?

1. Wario
2. Mewtwo
3. Ganondorf
4. Sheik (just to see half the boards cry)
1. Mewtwo
2. Sheik
3. Wario
4. Wolf
5. Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, Ness
Still the best possible time to do so. And can we just get a damn Pokemon veteran already?!
Advertising for the enemy is never a good idea.

We're on my birthyear now! YES! 1997, I didn't miss the 90's! That means I can talk about how great the 90's were even if I can't remember it! :awesome:
I was born late into the nineties, but I play old Nintendo and watch old Nicktoons so I could very well be labeled a nineties kid. Even though I can't remember living in the nineties.

90s wannabes :chuckle:
90's weren't even that good in some aspects a lot of our comics sucked ............ 90's did have the best cartoons though

I had Wario Land 3 as a major part of my childhood, and I've played every Wario Land aside from the Virtual Boy game (though WL1 and WL2 were just last year with Virtual Console) as well as Wario World, and I'm fine with how Wario is in Smash.

However, I do find there to be no excuse for the poor representation of his Shoulder Bash and Butt Smash, seeing as they are present in both of Wario's franchises.
Shoulder Bash would be better as his dash attack than his faceplant, and Butt Smash, like in Project: M, should be his down air attack.
...And I suppose the Earthshake Punch as his down smash attack also like in Project: M would be great too.

This is my childhood. Too bad it's gone.

Last time I checked, Metal Gear isn't an Xbox exclusive. That aside, who says he needs to specifically advertise it? King Dedede isn't advertising anything, even with Kirby Triple Deluxe out.

Oh and my top 5 most wanted-to-see veterans...

#1: Mewtwo
#2: Spice
#3: Spice
#4: Spice
#5: Spice


The other three don't matter as Spice erases all veterans. :p

Wario games have always been a huge part of my childhood. Wario Land 4, and pretty much all of the games on GC specifically. Very excited to see him return when he does.

A Hanafuda character reveal would probably be the biggest win in Smash Bros. prediction history for all of us Daitouryou and Mr. Hanafuda supporters alike. :chuckle:
I will take my place as prediction king should Daitoryo be revealed.
You have Hanafudas too?
Both the Daitoryo and Mario sets. I haven't opened the latter.

Well according to this possible leak that suggested Ashley would be an AT, Kat and Ana maaaay be gone.

Copied from the Rumour and Leaks thread:


The Translator Leak (1/10/14)

  • Rosalina is the only Mario newcomer.
  • Waluigi and Toad were at once considered, but Waluigi remains an Assist Trophy, and Toad a move for Peach.
  • Bowser Junior, Paper Mario and Daisy were never considered. Bowser Junior was planned to be an Assist Trophy, but was scrapped.
  • Fawful is a new Mario Assist Trophy. He acts like Mr. Resetti, but will attack opponents at random.
  • Diddy Kong will be the next revealed veteran, to coincide with Tropical Freeze’s release date.
  • Diddy is paired with Dixie Kong as a tag-team, similar to Zelda and Sheik. Dixie has a separate moveset from Diddy, but it’s still being worked on.
  • King K. Rool is a newcomer, the heaviest character on the roster. He is powerful and can KO light characters with 2 good Smash Attacks. His final smash has him use the blunderbuss and fire cannonballs from the top of the screen while they fly in from the sides as well.
  • Gangplank Galleon is a stage.
  • There is a new Zelda character, although it’s kept a secret so far. The names heard most often are Tingle and Ghirahim.
  • Ganondorf will be buffed, although he still retains some of C. Falcon’s moves. He can equip a sword using his Down Special.
  • Chrom is a Fire Emblem necomer. He wields the Falchion, and does not replace Ike.
  • Chrom is expected to be revealed to celebrate the anniversary of the first Fire Emblem.
  • Lyn’s Assist Trophy from Brawl has been scrapped.
  • King Gangrel and Aversa are the new Fire Emblem Assist Trophy. Gangrel runs around slicing with his sword, while Aversa flies above using Aversa’s Night. They are the “unexpected” Assist Trophy.
  • No newcomers for Yoshi or Wario.
  • Wario’s overalls are now his default attire.
  • The Kat & Ana Assist Trophy has been scrapped.
  • Ashley from WarioWare is a new Assist Trophy.
  • Ridley is a newcomer, and is scaled down a bit. It was a major feat on the development team.
  • No new Star Fox characters.
  • Falco is farther away from being a Fox clone.
  • Wolf is no longer a semi-clone.
  • Villager has a female costume.
  • Mr. Resetti returns as an Assist Trophy.
  • Tom Nook is a new Assist Trophy. He apparently drops bells across the stage, which causes opponents to trip. (Due to Sakurai saying tripping is removed, it’s unknown if forced tripping, like this and Diddy’s bananas will return, or if only accidental tripping is removed.)
  • Palutena is a newcomer, with her moves based directly off Uprising.
  • Magnus is a new Assist Trophy, and acts similarly to Little Mac in Brawl.
  • All Pokemon veterans from Brawl return.
  • Mewtwo returns.
  • Mewtwo and Lucario have very different movesets.
  • No new Kirby characters.
  • Meta Knight will be revealed sometime in the summer of 2014.
  • No changes made to the EarthBound series.
  • All misc. characters return (Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., Ice Climbers)
  • Little Mac is a newcomer. He has the look from the Punch-Out!! reboot for the Wii.
  • The Male Wii Fit Trainer is indeed an alt. for Wii Fit Trainer.
  • Wii Fit Trainer has a butt attack. It is replaced by a headbutt for the male costume.
  • King Hippo is an Assist Trophy.
  • The Ghosts from Luigi’s Mansion are an Assist Trophy.
  • Snake returns.
  • Pac-Man will be the final newcomer. He is a secret character.


But again, it's a leak, so take it with a grain of salt.
Feels like a lot of those things are safe bets. Except some things... King K Rool playable... he's important, but it's been a while... eh, maybe. Lyn assist dropped... why. Bowser Jr assist dropped... why. Tingle and Ghirahim are almost opposites. But I'd like Ghirahim added, and Tingle as an assist worked well in Brawl. Kat and Ana dropped... why. We can have two assists for one series. Waluigi, Fawful, and Bowser Jr for Mario. Skull Kid and Tingle for Zelda. Kat and Ana and Ashley for Wario. Andross and Krystal (if not playable, which goes for all of these) for Starfox. Rundas, Sylux, and Metroid for Metroid. Magnus and Medusa for Kid Icarus. They seem pretty simple. I doubt this is true but I definitely agree with most of it. I'm scrolling down basically just saying "yep" "called it" "yep".
