Not sure what's meant by "flying projectile," but Carol Eugene fits all the bills and the ST's Falcon and Tornado move much like the Vifram toy. Sakura's mech is rather stout.



75, baby! Save for Kazooie, FP1 has been a sausage fest. No judgment, mind you, just makes sense to break it up.
75.....hmmmm 7 sirens in her 5th game She also has 7 letters in her name. and in her first game has access to 5 transformations Monkey, Spider, Elephant, Harpy, and Tinkerbat. And guess what? She was conceived in 1994. 94 minus 19 is...75.

Still no Japanese clothing, though. :drshrug:

Mr. H confuses me, is he trying not to get ninja'ed? Otherwise there's no reason to be so vague about this, clearly even a rough early 3D model would provide some sort of clue in regards to the character's identity if he did indeed see it.
Ohh, wasn't aware of that part. Yeah, might be Sakura, then.

I hate it when cornball theories in here almost make sense, but if it does, your post would need to be capped, pronto.

With the anniversary of Shantae's reveal as a spirit coming up, what are we gonna do? I know that our current position isn't too advantageous at the moment, though it's still a pretty damn good stepping stone!
Also, I just needed an excuse to change to a spooky profile picture :p

It sounds like Indivisible has difficulty balancing issues, if this is accurate.
Already mentioned this before, although the exact nature of it seems to vary with the player. This guy says he ran into spikes periodically, some others say the game just folds over to you in the later half of the game until the final boss (kind of like Superstar Saga). I wonder if there's some nonlinearity messing with things, or this reviewer was maybe not as diligent in grinding/finding power ups?

It's the main thing I hope they find some way to fix by the time the Switch version releases. Maybe in something like Hollow Knight's Lifeblood update they made for the console releases? Otherwise the extra characters might not help matters any...

Incidentally, this just got posted:


My theory of November 1st release might have some actual merit.

I still think that Terry's Preview will appear with the Nintendo Direct on the 2nd or 3rd week of November.
If possible, the 5th and final challenger.......for the Fighters Pass.

Plus, the start of additional DLC fighters might happen during the VGA, but it just will have to wait for now until its time.

Also, Pokémon is getting another update video tomorrow

I'm thinking October 31st, the Thursday two weeks before the next Smash amiibo hit shelves, and to promote Luigi's Mansion 3. We'll see FP1-5 at the tail end.

That's close to the new month with Luigi moving into his next vacation (horror) on Halloween.

Yep, and lines directly up with the M.O. of the last 2 Directs. It's eerie how it would fall right on Halloween for the Month of Luigi.
Guess its a spooky time for one to come with another possibly appearing sometime later.

Though, for Halloween coming in 2 weeks, its 2 spooky 4 me.

Yes, take note would-be artists: give Shantae's lower torso some weight. SatSS' cutscenes seem to finally be trying to do this. I think SatPC started to try, but THIS is how you do it.

I bought a physical copy of Half Genie Hero: Ultimate Edition pretty recently in anticipation of Seven Sirens' eventual release. Looking forward to finally getting caught up on the series.

I got a week off at the end of this month, so I'll have to see about snagging the copy of it I saw in a specialty game store.
I'm hoping to snag Pirate's Curse on the Switch for a relatively recent price one of these days, too. (It was put out by Limited Run Games, though, so I'm definitely not holding my breath.)

Any expectations as to whom Terry's Spirit Board will include? As for me, I'm going with the obvious:
Terry Bogard
Andy Bogard
Joe Higashi
Mai Shiranui
Geese Howard
Rock Howard

Not entirely sure about KoF/AoF/SS spirits, but Iori, Ryo and Nakoruru were in his trailer, so probably at least one of them.

Also, looks like that "leak" about Shantae that was posted in here a few pages back didn't see the light of day after all. Seemed very ominous either way.

Ryo was seen in the background of Terry's stage, which seems to be a King Of Fighters arena instead of a Fatal Fury-specific one.

That leak didn't really get a lot of people's attention since leaks is mostly a guess people post on the internet.

Plus, the more popular one people are focusing on currently is Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden being the final Fighter for the Fighters Pass.

I will never understand the Heihachi and Ryu Hayabusa crazes.

Then again, they make more sense than Skull Kid or Rhythm Chorus or lots of other choices.
Even further, some would think that Geno or Shantae are terrible picks (they're wrong!).

The spirits debate is still the thing that is holding back Geno and Shantae on true fan support. Plus, with Ryu Hayabusa and Heihachi on the hot topic, its hard to bring them out as a chance to be a fighter.

Hope the Spirits don't deconfirm characters since they are the replacement of trophies. Will have to wait and see for the outcome soon.

Whoops. Meant to say Ryo in the stage. Also, if he's showing up, what about Yuri? I'm also wondering why he's even there; imagining some kind of tag-team/stage hazard fusion.

Yep. It didn't get spread around anywhere, either. Immediately buried into oblivion. I'm not even sure where the poster found it.

Maybe from a low source or made it themselves. Either way, always prepare to say Hello and Goodbye to whatever leak you stumble across.

hayabusa is the last nes classic not present in smash ultimate, that's why people want him.

I would say Skull Kid makes as much sense if not more that Ryu. Ryu might be a star of his own series, but the series is now obscure. Skull Kid is a first party character and one of the only reoccurring characters from his franchise. While most every Zelda game has a different Link, the very same Skull Kid had a significant role in three games. Only Ganondorph has been in more Zelda games.

I think Hayabusa would have more of a chance if Kasumi can get in first, since he's a part of DOA now (granted, he already was before modern gens, but now it actually matters).

Then again, obscurity isn't much of an obstacle in the first place. :ultbanjokazooie:

He hadn't gotten any significant fan movements during 4's ballot days, has he?

As in NES Classic? Because there's still Contra, Bub and Bob, etc. And plenty of other franchises that would be considered "classic," in the other sense.

As much as people like to be vocal against OoT and by extension MM due to their coverage/rating (with the only other game being the connected TP), I don't see it happening this entry. Now if they gave that character and possibly the mask some more background and weight, yeah, could totally see it. Same for Waluigi.

I don't see it happening either as he is already an assist. My point was simply that Skull Kid being a fighter makes just as much if not more sense than Ryu, which was the counter to what you said.

As for him being the "last of the classic NES characters" no there are still plenty other characters that had a very successful run on NES that aren't in the game yet. The mentioned Contra Boys and Bub & Bob, tho I would say Master Higgins is worth mentioning as well. He had plenty of games on the NES and SNES and unlike other 3rd party characters, it's worth remembering that Master Higgins was made for Nintendo. He as a character was created specifically so Hudson could put the Wonder Boy games on Nintendo consoles.
