So apparently Bowser Jr. and DHD's reveal trailers will be in the livestream tomorrow. What a horrible letdown.
And again, as I've mentioned before.

The livestream is going to have like 50 things.

2 trailers isn't going to be all we get.

Dont be dissin DHD now. We finally get to see him in HD! Thats hype as heck!
Eh, not really. He's pretty "meh".

Letdown? How is that a letdown?
Letdown how? I don't understand this I guess, were people really expecting Wii U exclusive character to be happening even though at this point there is nothing to suggest such a thing was going to happen?
It's more of the fact of seeing a reveal trailer for characters that literally everyone always knows are in the game. Plus, it's not even two really hypeworthy characters, at that.

It's just Scooby and Scrappy featuring Daffy Duck.

...Are we complaining about clones again? Fun.

I got a notification for 300 special moves, progress!
:4mario::4luigi::4gaw::4link::4palutena::4robinf:
:4kirby::4dedede::4fox::4duckhunt::4ness::4olimar::4pacman:
Not many completed characters, though.
I must have a few that are almost done, 76 moves left to go...

I still haven't gotten any damn hats or Smash Run Powers in over a week.

Oh we know.

We're just worried that he's going to try and end it with those trailers and think it was a good idea.

Sakurai loves doing dumb **** like that. It kinda kills the hype after finding out about all of the other stuff. If those trailers happen, they should be the first thing shown on the stream. Period.

I'll more or less say what I said in the Direct thread about that. My guess is that the trailers may have been commissioned for all of the newcomers before it was decided which one were hidden and with ones would not. By the time they decided that they may have just said, heck with it we'll show the trailer at some point anyway.

I expected not to see trailers for characters everyone already knows about.
I don't see why you didn't expect that, considering every newcomer was going to get a trailer from Day 1.

MAYBE they'd just be on the WiiU version, not show to us, but eh. Still, the livestream is gonna have 48 more things in it, if the trailers even count towards the 50.

@ Kaye Cruiser Kaye Cruiser : I could see Bowser Jr.'s trailer shown and segwayed into 8-player Smash with Jr. and the Koopalings as examples, but I agree with showing Duck Hunt first and foremost, since we now have a screenshot from his trailer.

I expected them. I think it would've been odd to let some characters not have a trailer, while almost all others do, even when everyone knows about them already. Don't know what Dark Pit's deal is, though.

And just got a custom Fox move, but it was the only one I already had. Thanks, Sakurai!

That's kind of what I expect. Of course we could have Duck Hunt at the beginning, and Bowser Jr. at the end, which would be lame. Or they could, for whatever reason, share a trailer.

Regardless, when they advertise "50 new things" I want "50 new things".

Think of Sonic CD. Eggman built Metal Sonic solely to beat Sonic and not to do anything else. So what's the first thing Metal Sonic does?

Kidnaps Amy and takes off for some reason. Later on, he uses her as a means to get Sonic to fight against him. In side games later, whether you consider them "canon" or not, Metal Sonic always shows up on his own out of nowhere to challenge Sonic to the silliest of things from kart racing to olympic sports even though he doesn't have to.

Oh, and then you have Sonic Heroes where he betrays Eggman and the Sonic Rivals games where he kinda ditches Eggman's orders to tag-team with Shadow because reasons. ¦D
Yea, thinking about it this way it would seem he's more than a mindless drone at least. I agree with your posts.

It's been a day or two since I've taken the time to play for a while. But you're about where I'm at now with the completed characters. Still annoyed that I can't get that last move for Charizard and Pikachu.

Your setting yourself up for disappointment with that kind of expectation, they said 50 facts, I don't recall them saying anything about 50 brand new things. There probably be some repeats among them so my suggestion is to expect some of that.

You really do take fictional characters way too seriously for your own good.

I almost feel sorry for you.

Anyway, Dark Pit has impact on the story:
- He opens the way to the Chaos Vortex. If it weren't for him, Palutena's soul would be lost forever.
- He helps Pit fight the Chaos Kin.
- He saves Pit's life twice.

About his victory theme, producing a short jingle isn't an hard thing to do. Especially when the composer that composed Dark Pit's theme (Motoi Sakuraba) also worked on this game.

If the anti-hero turning good is cliché'd, so is the hot-blooded hero (Pit), so is the tsundere (Viridi), so is the comical hammy villain (Hades). Character archetypes. Ever heard of them? Learn a thing or two about storytelling, then we'll talk.

As for the rest, it's all subjective. It's all YOUR opinion, so don't pass it as fact. It's really insulting.
Don't patronize me, I don't take fictional characters that seriously, and I do know a little about storytelling, it's just that those characters, especially Hades, have something to make them stand out, and they're all much more memorable than Dark Pit. God, people either don't take fictional characters as seriously as they should or take them too seriously.
@ D-idara D-idara has a secret soft spot for :4drmario:

10/10 WOULD WRITE FANFIC
Uh, if you consider pulling someone's fingernails out some sort of kinky foreplay...then OK...if I had to choose one disgusting clone, at least I'd choose Lucina.

FINE. My inbox is getting flooding with people telling me how wrong I am, and it's getting old.

Man, Yoshi absolutely wrecks bosses in Smash Run, seriously, that dair though...

I also randomly got DK on my team in the end match. Shout out to @Moon Monkey for the DK Dino combo.
I got Yoshi's last move out of it too, one more for the pile!

What would your reaction be if we also get a:4darkpit: trailer?:troll:
Kind of pointless no? He's already on the website and we saw him in Palutena's trailer. And again, I can understand why not many people would be excited to see a trailer for characters we already knew were in the game.

So Duck Hunt is being revealed tomorrow?
Yeah. Seems like it. Which is why not everybody is all that excited, since many people here have the game. But it'd still be nice to see the duo in HD at least.

Hopefully they will show off some cool gameplay modes to get people hyped up.

Seems like the most likely situation, probably a mix of new information and information we already know.

And hopefully a Duck Hunt based level.

I'm getting prepared for the inevitable 'This Direct disappointed me' thread made by someone who expected too much.

Now to work on getting the rest...
It's a right pain in the arse, though I seem to be doing better today. Just finished wah, wah, Wario.

:4kirby::4dedede::4fox::4duckhunt::4ness::4olimar::4pacman:
I'm trying to do them in order mostly, but I'm passing characters that I don't finish in one Run to keep things fresh.

He better reveal Impa, Ridley, Metal Sonic, K Rool, and tell us that Dr Mario and Dark Pit was a JOKE! Otherwise, I'm gonna petition to Nintendo for Sakurai to lose his job! >:()

Everyone in the roster has been cut, the only character is Barboach, sporting all 255 Shades of Blue as pallete swaps.

This thread sure knows how to make me feel like an idiot.
Anyway.
I heard there was a picture shown recently that was evidence for 8-player Smash. Is that true?
I wouldn't say that you're an idiot or anything like that. But it's good to keep your expectations low is all.

As for the 8-Player Smash thing, I didn't know about that. Like someone else mentioned earlier, maybe we can get a Bowser Jr. Trailer showing off all 8 Koopa Kids fighting each other in that mode.
