I'm not sure we're gonna get that many DLC characters. I was thinking 5 at the most.
I don't know who the next newcomer will be, but there are only a few weeks left. I will assume Shulk, and either Ridley or a RH rep.
Well, the good thing about that is that I can cut or move five of those DLC choices.

Let's say either Takamaru or Reporter & Wrestler are on the initial roster.
Add Snake as a veteran since he don't need no snazzy reveal trailer.

Cut *sigh* Paper Mario, Krystal, and Black Shadow.
That leaves King K. Rool, Ghirahim, Dixie Kong, Takamaru/Reporter, and Isaac.

And to think we used to think Smash 4 would have less characters than Brawl because of something Sakurai said.
I do believe Sakurai is one of the most misquoted men in the universe. The things he says are either misquoted outright or twisted in a way that does not reflect the original meaning or taken out of context.

The whole "no fighting game characters" thing, the whole "no story mode because Youtube spoilers" thing, the whole "won't have a bigger roster than Brawl" thing... I swear, any time that man opens his mouth his words are twisted. When he said the fighting game character thing, he was actually talking about making the roster unique (something he often talks about), when he said the story mode thing, he said he wanted to make it more rewarding since the cutscenes (aka the reward for playing story mode) were uploaded to Youtube therefore you didn't even have to play the game (or own a Wii for that matter) to experience the reward. That whole quote was twisted all the way up the beanstalk. And the whole roster size thing, he was talking about not wanting to focus on just making the whole thing "bigger"... but of course he was misquoted on that too.

Wouldn't surprise me if what he said regarding Ridley was misquoted.

And don't even get me started on the "we cut a character" thing with the Lucina/Robin interview.

I agree.
And Smash-fans being angry at him because they were seeing things that weren't there ('Ridley is in the clouds!' or 'Krystal has a VA, which means she's playable!') isn't helping him one bit.

So anyone but me interested in Hyrule Warriors?

Anyone?
No, not a fan of the Zelda-franchise and not a fan of hack-'n-slash games.

I sure am! I like what I see so far.
Excuse me? I've had this avatar for DAYS!
That's like asking if Nintendo fans are interested in Smash Bros. OF COURSE people aside from you are interested in Hyrule Warriors. It's kind of a big thing.
Good, I'm glad to see-

No, not a fan of the Zelda-franchise and not a fan of hack-'n-slash games.
THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT ANSWER.

INTO THE PIT WITH YOU.

*Ahem*!

Anyway, there's so many characters! And they said we only have half?!

I hope we get some more Lucina situations, where a series gets two newcomers (one being unique, and one being a clone). That way, we could have some more of the fan-favorites in the game.

Personally, some I want are:
- Metroid, with Ridley as a completely new one, and Anthony Higgs as a Samus semi-clone.
- Donkey Kong, with K. Rool being unique, and Dixie Kong being a Diddy semi-clone (with the standard moves being mostly the same, but the specials being different).

That tends to happen with a obsessive fan base like this one who assumes Sakurai is some kind of illumni figure that is leaving random clues to his real intentions. Though part of the problem is I think even though Sakurai is a pretty good developer is not a top notch PR person so he often says things that are extremely easy for people to overread or twist around.

But he says those things while wearing a leopard print shirt! THAT'S what counts!

So, has anyone seen Sakurai's latest tweets?

https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/493241232554864641
https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/493241537891807232

If you google translate you get this:
"With "Korotsua" starting from today, 試遊 table of Smash Bros. 3DS has come out.
Person near you please by all means.
Today Shiga Prefecture. It seems to be accepted until 16:00.
http://www.corocoro.tv/corotour/"

"In addition, 試遊 have been made in various parts of the world, but it is a thing of E3 at all.
Product version is the full version, Shine is taking further."


Can anyone translate what he said? Second tweet looks suspicious.

I believe the second part is saying that is relating that the demo is the E3 version and that the final version of the game will be more polished. The same 'The game is still under development' statement he generally gives.

Here's a link I ment to post a while ago lol. Double posting isn't allowed doe :awesome:

http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2buuhg/from_sakurais_twitter_coro_tour_staring_today/

Smash bros reddit is a pretty cool place to lurk I guess.
Comments about not revealing more than necessary intrigued me the most. Regardless if this means we'll get some more character or stage reveals, we're bound to get some information.



Looks like it's safe to be more excited for today/tomorrow compared to SDCC.

Ganondorf or at least one of my beloved Star Fox characters...lemme see :ganondorf::falco::wolf: :c

I'm glad I woke up to a better translation than I made. I didn't realize that was actually going to be a better playtest. That's pretty amazing.

Though, that's just an assumption, it's probably still the E3 version... and he's probably just saying the final version is going to be more polished like I said before.

What if CoroCoro actually does end up delivering more than we expect after all?

I just woke up and am confused like always.

When will people stop using Google Translate to "translate" Sakurai's tweets? That thing butchers the message completely.

I only use it because I know some Japanese myself and I can interpret what it's supposed to mean with the words it gives me.
It should never be used for accurate translations, though. I agree.

I suppose we'll find out by the end of the day if this playtest is a demo like E3's or otherwise.

Just when my hype dies down from yesterday it is rebirthed by Sakurai himself.

Download rikai-kun/rikai-chan for Chrome/Firefox. It's a dictionary which you can hover your mouse to pop up the definitions of words. Much better for figuring out stuff than using Google Translate's lousy translations.

A must-have for anyone who wants to learn Japanese.

Over time, I learned that this is the time to get hype and actually get something out of it. Although your body always readies itself regardless of your expectations, at least your heart will remain safe rather than be crushed by disappointment.

And I'm just sitting here imagining Sakurai violently acquiring his leopard print shirt to the tune of Dark Saga by Iced Earth then driving around town in his brand new leopard shirt to the tune of Starface by White Zombie... it's pretty epic.

Check. Got that a while ago. :upsidedown:
I can tell whether or not a word Translate gives me is completely off so I use rikai to figure out what it's supposed to be.

I don't take Translate as more than a quick very loose and unreliable dictionary that I have to fix the translation of myself. That's why my translation of the tweet earlier this morning was pretty close to other people's translations of it. But I totally get what you're saying.

Yeah. If Sakurai makes it a point to mention something, then it's a safe bet something interesting is going to come out of it.
