I have those Risky hazards in my stage idea as well and Tinkerbats throwing torches creating those moving pillars of fire and popping out of barrels. I compared my stage idea to 3D Land instead of Mushroomy Kingdom or PAC-Land because the stage, while sidescrolling, also has two areas where it stops, one in the middle of town where Tinkerbats are causing platforms to pop in and out (this is where the town would catch on fire) and while onboard Risky’s ship which take the stage back around to the lighthouse.
A side-scrolling stage that stops multiple times huh? It would definitely be an new concept for a stages and could prove interesting. Personally I've never been a fan of walk-off stages but there might be some potential in that.



Anyway I'm done for tonight I'll leave you all with some Kirby art. I'll try and find some more because I love this puffball too much.

With the Master Hands having dialogue there, I now really wanna hear what their voices would sound like... :p

Well a video from LxC that does include Shantae. It's from the same guy that predicted the November 1 Smash Direct.


At least Shantae is now appearing in more leaks nowadays compared to before.

EDIT: Doesn't the guy know that if not for Shantae's success then Shovel Knight would not even BE a thing in the first place ugh!!
Waluigi and new echo fighter

Sorry, no.

Just making a scenario, so don't take it seriously.

If she does get in as part of the Fighters Pass for the selected 5, what would you picture the people's take on her appearance upgraded from a support spirit?
Not quite sure I follow, you're talking about her looks or the fact she was promoted?

Well, obviously it would open the floodgates for many other spirits, and she might be seen as the pioneer for that. It also depends on if her reveal draws attention to her being a spirit beforehand, instead of just showing up like everyone else. Imagine ZSS exploring with Shantae's spirit, and finding an unoccupied trophy...

I dunno, with how angry and loud the Waluigi fanbase is, Nintendo may cave to the pressure.
I would be disappointed in them if they did.
I'm sorry, but they planned him as an assist trophy - we've known this since the E3 direct.
If they start promoting characters, in the same iteration, from assist to fighter through DLC, then I wouldn't be happy.

I want new and original characters that haven't been in the game yet - like Shantae

While i wouldnt mind waluigi being playable (Im curious to see howd theyd handle him) I dont want him to be a dlc fighter because people are sending death threats to nintendo. If waluigi gets in, I want it to be because the smash bros team wanted to make a unique and original with a fan character, not because a bunch of people are throwing tantrums.

I was listening to ssbu music when I found out one of those preview tracks were arranged by cygames

Could it just mean nothing?

I think it means nothing

It is something if you're already getting near stage 5: Acceptance.

Oh they'll add him. Nintendo will cave into the demands. For their first 2019 Direct, a purple hat will appear on the floor at the end. Finally, months of WAH-ing have paid off. Our boy is in. The cap will be lifted and be donned on the head of everyone's main, placed atop over his luscious hair and...bunny ears? That's right: Bwaluigi from Mario/Rabbids: Kingdom Battle BWAHs his way into battle!

I wanted more Detective Pikachu but not this. I miss the middle-aged guy voice already.

I didn't expect to like this trailer. I didn't expect to find Deadpool's voice coming out of a hyper-realistic Pikachu adorable. I didn't expect to squee when I saw the little herd of Bulbasaurs. I think I have a Poke-problem. Send help, please. :(

This is what they did for a Pokemon live action movie? Good god look at the hair on those Pokemon. I was hoping this was gonna look more cartoony but they went more realistic, I guess? I really don't know about this. I kinda wanna see it as Pokemon fan but at the same time I'm really not sure.

I'll keep looking to see if my favorite pokemon made a cameo ^_^

Well, there's a game made a while ago which the movie is based on. Haven't played the full game yet but the demo was surprisingly charming. Really makes me hope Pikachu has a detective alt with the deep voice.

They're going to have to get over it. He's an assist trophy and they can't make that change.
This. Making someone go from assist trophy to playable fighter in the same Smash game would only open a ton of floodgates.

Not saying I don't want Waluigi mind you. A character with a mix of abilities referencing Mario Kart/Party/Tennis/Golf would be cool (about the only thing I can think for his moveset). Just if you gave him that treatment, other fandoms would get angry unless Nintendo plans to add Shadow and Isaac down the road also.

How’s everyone doing today?

I thought the game was pretty cool, so I’m curious to see where this goes, I know not everyone’s on board with the style, but I mean it’s probably the best route aside from full on cartoon commercial CGI.

I think it looks great. They look so cute! Plus...


At least it's better than what Hollywood is doing to Monster Hunter.

OK maybe it's a bit unfair for me to make a judgment call since I've never seen the Resident Evil movies, but based on the bits and pieces that I did see and this, why in God's name does Capcom still keep giving the rights to their movies to Paul W.S Anderson? Like come'on, have more respect for yourself than that.

I'm willing to give this Pokemon movie a shot, but something is telling me that is just feels very off. The trailer made things very dark as well, with lighting anyways which I'm kinda tired of at this point. I guess I'm just used to official art from Pokemon but I prefer animation to live action by a long shot so that's probably personal bias talking.
