The Direct?
Okay thanks, I'll go back to look at those. Link having a Jump Attack, sounds too good to be true.
I love you for this
No you're right, it's a kick.
I don't see why, but thank you. I almost care for you, too. :3
Down B is quite symbolic
I love you for this
I really hate DK's dash attack and I like how they changed it in PM so I'm very excited :3
Well, I am happy to be loved. XD
MasterofMonster
? If so then I do too!
I asure you guys, I've done nothing to deserve that. D:Oh, is it a new trend to love @
I haven't been able to re-watch the Direct yet because my phone is crappy but by the sound of it there have been minor things that I missed (like DK's rolling apparently?). It's great that old characters get changes too!

I wasn't too far off
*Cough*
Meh. The lack of Xenoblade could just be them setting up for Shulk to be announced at E3. Alternatively, Xenoblade could be left out in the cold (with the Wii U -
). I don't think the direct is particularly indicative of either option. We should know by E3, unless he's included as a secret character, and therefore release.I don't think there's no need to worry yet, items don't necessarily mean a character doesn't make it... or even that one does.
I do think Shulk will be in the game..i just really want a Xenoblade stage but i don't think he will be announced at E3 2014Meh. The lack of Xenoblade could just be them setting up for Shulk to be announced at E3. Alternatively, Xenoblade could be left out in the cold (with the Wii U -
See, if Shulk is to be Included, E3 might be the best place to announce him - right alongside an X release date. It would certainly help to build hype for both games, especially amongst those who have played Xenoblade and are looking forward to X. However, I'm probably banking slightly more on him being a secret character, to be honest.
No, Diddy's cartwheel activates a lot faster. Plus, DK's roll doesn't seem to travel as far (which is a neat detail, since in DKC1 it's also cartwheel > roll). I do like the change however! Don't get me wrong. Am just probably still too pissed off at Sheik to be reacting rationally.
> ). 
Impa can still make it in I guess. Rosalina has proofed a character that might look and function similary to an excisting character (Peach) doesn't need to be a clone or related to that character at all. However, with the chances Sheik has gotten, I could easily see Impa being a semi clone (which is now more legit as Sheik is her own character now). But..... Am not getting my hopes up. Damn it Sakurai, I was really looking forward playing as a dreadlocked black woman in Smash (reason I liked Impa to, never outrightely stated this before).) as the game will release for 3DS this summer. It's very likely we know the full roster before that. Or at least, those who are not in a way supposed to be 'secret'. I have a few character I feel they'l;ll still reveal after the release date. / * * * * / ) and solo Charizard is awesome. And my most wanted actual newcomers, King K.Rool and Isaac are still full in the race! Am just kind of overruled by the bitter taste I still feel with Brawl, and the situation Mewtwo & Sheik I guess.
Thing is, it looks far more likely squirtle and ivysaur are gone than there. Primarily for the reason that once Jiggly is announced, adding those two would make 7 Pokemon reps - 8 if he also adds Mewtwo. That's just an inordinate amount of Pokemon reps, and highly unlikely. Right now Ridley is in better shape than those two, I'm afraid - Ridley could be a tease still, even if his tail kinda suggests to me he's out. I really don't see 7/8 Pokemon reps at all.
I don't think it's unlikely. Like many I counted the Reps to INCLUDE the transformations despite them not being shown in the character select directly.
No other series has close to 7/8 characters. This isn't the Pokken Fighters game that Nintendo were touting not so long ago, and we're just not ever going to see Pokemon outnumber Mario in reps. Why would they underrepresent their main series just to slot Squirtle in? Sakurai is clearly removing all transformation characters, and Pokemon Trainer got the cut. You got Charizard, and a new Pokemon, and we'll probably get Jiggs soon. Hell, he might even surprise us with Mewtwo. But a Ivysaur and Squirtle are out as unnecessary transformation characters, there's just no chance they'd bloat the Pokemon rep share that much.I don't think it's unlikely. Like many I counted the Reps to INCLUDE the transformations despite them not being shown in the character select directly.
That means (IF the developers think like this, I'm not Psychic) Brawl had Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, Ivysaur, Squirtle and Jigglypuff. 6 Reps. I don't think going up to 7 is anywhere out of the question. Even 8. Though I personally doubt Mewtwo is coming back (don't quote me, that is just a hunch based on very little).
Going up from 6 to 7? Easy Peasy. If you look at the transformations as the same character (which again, I never did) then yeah I understand why it would look odd. But I don't myself.
Sakurai always counted the Pokémon and other transformations as their own character. That's why he counts Brawl's roster at 38. That's 6 Pokémon.
Evidence? Your statement that Sakuri is "clearly removing all transformation characters" has zero backing. None. The lack of Ivysaur and Squirtle being announced is not evidence that they're gone just because they showed two other transformations. I'm not saying they're back for sure but you have absolutely nothing but pure speculation and conjecture to go by with no reliable logic behind it.
There's no evidence to support either conclusion. However, yours looks far more unlikely than mine. The Mario franchise, as their flagship, has never been outrepresented, and is highly unlikely to be by Pokemon, who based upon your speculation could end up at 8 reps if we're to believe Sakurai was truly considering Mewtwo as he stated. Equally, the pattern so far is two of three transformation characters have been seperated. That would suggest the Pokemon Trainer is being removed, supported by Charizard's solo appearance. With the line-up at four Pokemon already, and five Including Jiggs, it is highly unlikely given past history that Nintendo will allow their own flagship to be outrepresented by Pokemon by including Squirtle and Ivysaur, especially when we know Mewtwo is already under consideration. Hell, that would be six Gen 1 Pokemon - it's just not going to happen.Evidence? Your statement that Sakuri is "clearly removing all transformation characters" has zero backing. None.

I mean for example Ridley being de-confirmed has some evidence at least. Talking about bosses, showing his shadow. Yeah it's not 100% until we get the game but the evidence is there. Statements saying he's clearly getting rid of Ivysaur and Bulbasaur have absolutely nothing supporting the statements. Traditionally if someone makes such a sure statement they have something besides pure guesswork and baseless conjecture to support it.
And this:
The evidence is right in the direct if you were paying attention he specifically state that "All characters will no longer have transformations so players can focus on one move set" so there is no further need for more proof than Sakurai himself.
Yes there is. You don't seem to know what evidence is.
