Mega Houndoom, Mega Heracross and Mega Scizor has already helped with it. :p
I won't be sated until Mega Chandelure or Druddigon are revealed.

A fourth playable character has been confirmed for awhile now, we just don't know who. I want K. Rool, expecting Kiddy Kong.
I think it was confirmed Kiddy Kong wasn't it.

Didn't they say fourth playable Kong, I don't think K. Rool will be playable since you know, he's not a Kong.
I don't think they ever said it's going to be another Kong, they just stated playable character. And I said I want K. Rool, not expecting him.

I think it was confirmed Kiddy Kong wasn't it.

I don't believe they've stated who it is, but it's probably Kiddy Kong, yeah.

Just give me my Mega Zoroark already. :p

You shouldn't hype up a character and expect Sakurai to reveal someone when the guy has a mind like a bag of cats. He is unpredictable, did anyone expect Olimar, Luigi, Peach, Toon Link and Sonic to be revealed when they were? I'm expecting another reveal before October's end, and I think it will be a Pokemon, we just can't pinpoint the exact date. You never can.
Well, we did predict Sonic to be revealed this month, and I did predict another newcomer in September but...nobody listens to me. :c

People still butthurt over no Pokemon reveal? You guys hyped yourself up for nothing, not Sakurai. :p

I'm not at all, personally, and in fact set my expectations accordingly low so as to not be disappointed. That said, however, considering the earlier patterns suggesting promotional reveals, it would be fair to say some would have thought a Pokemon reveal most likely.

You think? You need to be sure Kiddy Kong is or is not in the game. I don't care either way but K. Rool supporters might care since they could see Kiddy Kong as a threat because of muh recency and muh relevancy.

Besides, K. Rool is being saved to be ViKing K. Rool. I'm guessing Kiddy or Funky.

Anyway, the NY event starts in an hour or two, so yeah. That seems exciting, but I'm still pretty skeptical, as some people are thinking of a reveal there.

I didn't realize Tom Nook was an unpopular character.
He just looks like a character everyone could easily recognize.
He is a popular character. Not working doesn't mean you're not popular. It just means you don't work. Balloon Fighter is very popular, but according to Sakurai he doesn't work.

My moveset is about parodying the Duck Hunt gameplay itself and the duties of hunting dogs.

My moveset does not have Duck Hunt Dog using the Zapper. :rolleyes: My moveset involves the hunter from the fourth wall (the person playing Duck Hunt) shooting at wherever Duck Hunt Dog points at.... since pointing is one of the duties that hunting dogs perform... This scene is what I had in mind for Duck Hunt Dog pointing fingers...
That's a great Final Smash, but it's not a move set.

I don't recall them saying it was another Kong, just another character.

I'm actually hoping all the Kongs return for this game for some role, as unlikely as that is. It's just very wishful thinking, I don't expect it to happen at all.

If we could get another Kong for a non-playable role, I'd definetely choose Funky.

Love Tester was a flop.

Not very important to Nintendo. Try harder.
How about Ultra Hand? It was Nintendo's first monster success. It has appeared in Mario Power Tennis, WarioWare, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and it has its own game, Grill-Off with Ultra Hand! It could...uh...grab stuff...hmmmm.... Maybe it'd be better as an Assist Trophy...

To be honest, I'd expect Funky over Kiddy, Nintendo seems to have taken more a liking to him.

Just give me my Mega Zoroark already. :p
You have Delphox, you'll be fine. :p

You think? You need to be sure Kiddy Kong is or is not in the game. I don't care either way but K. Rool supporters might care since they could see Kiddy Kong as a threat because of muh recency and muh relevancy.
IIRC, there was an interview about the game that wasn't very kind to Kiddy Kong's chances, though I may be misremembering things.

Either way, again if it's a Kong, I'd put my money on Funky before Kiddy.

All right... you asked for it.









This thread is designed for fans and supporters of the infamous dog from the classic shoot 'em up NES game, Duck Hunt.

These are my ideas for Duck Hunt Dog's special moves.

Duck Hunt Dog's standard special move is based on controlling a duck via the NES controller plugged into the 2P slot. The Dog simply releases a duck and then the duck flies around. The person who is playing Duck Hunt shoots the duck. There is a time limit when controlling a duck. If you take too long to shoot a duck, it will fly away after 5 seconds.



Duck Hunt Dog's side special move is based on the Clay Shooting mode. The Dog simply throws a clay pigeon like Link would throw his boomerang. The person who is playing Duck Hunt shoots the clay pigeon.



Duck Hunt Dog's up special move is inspired by ducks flying away. The Dog pulls out two ducks and hangs on to their feets as they all fly together.



Duck Hunt Dog's down special move is a high-risk, high-reward move where the Dog gets shot for laughing at the person who is playing Duck Hunt. If it is pulled successfully, the Dog could score a KO. If not, the Dog suffers 10% damage and is stunned for 3 seconds.



Duck Hunt Dog's Final Smash puts the NES Zapper in your hands as you play Duck Hunt with a Smash twist. You are given three shots and each shot can KO an opponent with one hit. Many ducks are obscuring your view - make each shot count!



Click here for a sneak preview of what Duck Hunt Dog might do if/when he gets in Smash. :awesome:

Sonic was a pretty obvious choice for this month, but when did everyone expect him? When Lost World releases on the 29th, when was he revealed? Weeks before on the first.

As for Toon Link, a lot of people thought he would be revealed when WWHD digitally released last month or when it was physically released this month. The only reason anyone ever doubted him is because of the other TL being apart of the ST stage. Both were surprise reveals because of the day they were revealed, not the month.

You can easily predict the month a character will be revealed, but you can never really pinpoint the day, is what I'm trying to say.

Am I the only one thinking Cranky Kong?
Yes.


I doubt the old man would be the next playable character, no doubt he'll be in it though. Would make for a humorous joke character though.

"ViKing K. Rool." Too good to be true, man. Retro gotta make that happen.

I would rather have Waluigi over Diskun. Yes, that's right, GoldenYuiitusin, you read that right.

true no one is going to buy the game solely based on 1 character but if we use your logic then why add Ridley or King.K Rool no one would buy the game for them lets just add some one like Goku
if Goku was added people would buy the game only to play as Goku
...that's not even close to what I meant.

Also, Ridley and K. Rool may not necessarily be do or die characters like say Sonic was this time around or last time around, but they certainly pike the right kind of interest, even if the execution was poor.

Krystal and Waddle Dee need really good execution and promotion in order to pike interesting in Smash for the Wii U and 3DS anywhere near as well.

The great thing about smash is that every character ever can fit in.

The horrible thing about smash is that everyone on the internet knows this.

I guess when it comes to enticing potential new players, you have to consider what would pike interest. You kind of have to treat everyone as someone new in that regard, so naturally you have to sell on why the character is amazing. It's kind of like trying to entice someone to buy a new house or car.

King K.Rool maybe be popular with us but with kids/casuals he is pretty much non existent same with Ridley they will not bring hype to a majority of people
Waddle Dee is requested more than Ridley and K.Rool in Japan he can get people interested

So are characters like ROB and Wolf, they don't have the pull with the kids/casuals but both of them got in. Also: http://smashboards.com/threads/obse...es-desires-for-smash-4-by-chronobound.338160/

King K. Rool is one of the most popular choices in Japan according to Chronobound's findings. In fact, Waddle Dee is pretty low on the totem pole (it was even below Zoroark before its crash).

Yes Ridley is less requested, but even in Japan they realized his high popularity overseas so that's more a point to him whereas Waddle Dee doesn't have nearly that much support anywhere.

All right... you asked for it.
For starters, we already have a dog with a gun. The frisbee isn't really part of Duck Hunt, however Diskun can throw Disks which are part of the Disk System. Flying with Ducks is pretty similar to other moves, and since Duck Hunt Dog is a Famicom game and so many Famicom games transition to the Disk System I see no reason for him not to replicate something from a normal Famicom game.

It appears I stand corrected.
You should already know this, but you just ignore everyone who doesn't agree with you I guess.

Don't see why Donkey Kong Jr shouldn't come after King K. Rool & Dixie. That was a pretty popular classic.

Ridley has a lot of support in the Smash community (and Metroid community) but thats it casuals don't care about him and they outnumber us
I love Ridley and hope he gets in but he won't make as much hype as some one like Ghirahim or Toad because casuals know who they are

No, Ridley can easily create bigger hype then either of them. Ridley is a very cinematic friendly character for starters due to his design, an evil space dragon has a lot of appeal in itself and create a lot of really awesome moments. That alone can entice people to want to try out Ridley.

2 words, Stack. Up.
Also, he was an accessory for a video game.
Knight to D5, and check
That was still not where he originated. And, as someone else pointed out, even Lucario was technically revealed in a movie before any game appearances.

As he is an accessory for a video game system, I will give you that he is more related to video games than Daitoryo. However, being the first product of Nintendo itself, and the reason for its existence could very well give him special treatment like R.O.B. got, only to a lesser extent.Also, if you care about MUH RELEVANCY, then you should know that Nintendo still produces Daitoryo decks today.

I will admit that he is unlikely, and that he will likely never appear in a Smash game, but I will not say that he is impossible, as he is the single most fitting character to be used for history like R.O.B. and Mr. Game and Watch before him.

Bishop to D5, Knight taken, although the advantage is likely still to you..
