Zipzo asked someone to post this link here as an alternative for when Smashboards is down. He's posting updates about the demo and all.

Seriously, it doesn't surprise me it's going down.

Mother of God...

I'm glad I didn't bother to check that entire crowd of people to see if I'm in it.

I spent way too much time finding myself.
A nice way to kill time in between Zipzo updates.

I can never find myself. As I am not here, nor there.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

Welp. The Zipzo thread just got closed. lol

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

And man, that'd be cool of Fierce Deity Link was really his white(?) palette swap.

Oh, and "the discussion was closed" while I was trying to post this, meaning they locked the thread due to traffic.

Now hopefully the servers should be better.

 

[Tangamanga]

So guys, I just found the perfect HYPE PLAYLIST

 

[Kamikazek]

Everybody's reading up about the Smash demo, I'm just playing Pooh's Home Run derby.

I blame this thread.

And I ain't even mad.

I'm just playing Pooh's Home Run derby.

And may God's love be with you when you face Christopher "Satan" Robin.

[Lozjam]

This is so hype! I had the worst day ever and then I wake up to this! I love all of you!
Fierce Deity Link is so amazing. I also think this is going to be the Smash game with the most depth, playstyles, accessibility, and fun of any Smash games. I think a lot of people are going to be happy sans the extreme melee players that are in a cult that plays nothing else(which is the minority of the Melee community)

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

Shield to cancel dash...
More possible Combos...
Pivot Cancelling...
Potentially more exciting ledge game...

BUT

No Melee Dash Dancing.
Still very close to Brawl in terms of floatiness.
Extremely fast rolling and shield dropping(Which actually may end up as a good thing)
Still no way to cancel aerial lag.
Still very large blast zones(I don't mind this one too much anymore)

Well, this is interesting...

 

[Soul.]

I'm still waiting for Pikachu stuff. Like, every other character has details and Pikachu doesn't. If QACing isn't in, chances are it has a different timing.
Marth can't double F-air anymore. That's so sad.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

LOOK WHAT I FOUND! =D

I wonder if one of these guys is Zipzo. ¦D

 

[Kamikazek]

We'll see if I even make it that far. Right now Owl is giving my face a very lengthy introduction to his vulnerable great grandfather, Pavement.

I'll be posting this information on threads that contain the characters mentioned and on the social thread. You can read in better detail by clicking on the link.

 

[TewnLeenk]

Looks like Dry Bowser is a costume.
So is Wolf, unfortunately.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

I REALLY wish they'd release and sell those attachments that put the top screen of the 3DS on a TV screen.

Seriously. :<

 

[Sil]

So... Wolf really is cut... My favorite spacie has been reduced to alt...

I need a moment.

Think about this. With the implications of pivot canceling, the dash dancing in Smash 4 with still be useful for mind games, similar to Melee. The opponent will not know if you are going to retreat with pivot canceling, or attacking with pivot canceling. This could make for some really strategic baits and counter strategies.

I thought QACing was already confirmed by someone and that it has different timing?

 

[TewnLeenk]

CORRECTION: Turns out the Dry Bowser costume was a mistranslation. So no Dry Bowser, yet.

And Robin's victory pose:

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Okay, just to make this clear guys:

Fox has a Wolf color. Not full alt costume/model.

There is a difference. It's like the Wario colors Mario has had since 64.

 

[Soul.]

It was confirmed, but I want to know if it's in the final build. I highly doubt it isn't in.

I literally JUST posted this.

My Smashboards was laggy as hell. My bad.

EDIT: This was the one I was trying to post. It's different from yours, so calm down. STARTING ROSTER

You could have a point there. I will be glad to fool around in the Training Room once I get the game.

It was confirmed, but I want to know if it's in the final build. I highly doubt it isn't in.

I see. You just want to be sure. Well, I hope you get what you desire.

 

[Shirma Akayaku]

So here a screenshot of the starting roster at the Japanese demo event, incase you didn't see it. Apparently, no dark color palette for Pit has been confirmed... So Dark Pit confirmed?

 

[TewnLeenk]

That's a huge starting roster too, holy crap.

Wasn't trying to sound mad or anything. XD

But cool. To make it up, here's a cropped pic of the roster for safe keeping. <3

Edit: I'm too slow. lol

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

Definitely. It's so strange though. Luigi an unlockable, Wario apparently not... Ness and Captain Falcon don't share the same availability status anymore...

On the bright side, I can jump right into Pacman's moveset.

 

[Sil]

Okay, just to make this clear guys:

True, although I don't see the point of making a brand new recolor based off of a character that is already in the game.
At least with Mario the recolor debuted in Smash long before Wario did, and it only changes his clothes unlike Fox's which apparently also has Wolf's futuristic eye-patch thing.

Yeah, he might still get in, and Fox will just have a pointless costume, but at this point, it's really not looking good for him.

 

[Knight Dude]

That's a huge starting roster too, holy crap.

It's so good though. Most of the character I give a crap about are already there.

 

[TewnLeenk]

On the bright side, I can jump right into Pacman's moveset.

Judging from the leak, our unlockables are :

- Ness
- Lucina
- Game & Watch
- Duck Hunt Dog
- Bowser Jr
- ROB
- Dark Pit
- That ain't Falco
- Jigglypuff
- Wario
- Dr. Mario
- Ganondorf
- And those rumoured 5 more newcomers.

But this Wolf color for Fox has been shown since E3 at the Treehouse. It came up SEVERAL times there.

Did no one else seriously notice this until now?
