More random tidbits:

I'd only want Bayonetta in this game EXCLUSIVELY for the music.

I just noticed how similar Villager looks compared to a generic Mii. So I really, really don't want Miis. But again, I think they are super inevitable. I need to build myself up for that disappointment when they are revealed.

The direct time works out perfectly, right after my driving lesson!
What if "customization" means you can change the look of Villager to be like your Mii? That way they can satisfy people who want to put themselves in the game without having to come up with a moveset for Miis. This would also save a newcomer slot (assuming there are a limited number of newcomer slots available/desired by Sakurai).

I tend to favor characters based on their moveset potential. Little Mac is anything but generic as we've yet to see Sakurai's take on a boxer type character.
So characters you like/know = not generic
characters you don't like/know = generic

Basically.

The Three Pics of the Days Before the Direct.

1: A Picture of Samus and MegaMan aiming their Arm Cannons towards Toad. Samus: "Where is the Direct?!" MegaMan: "Tell us, and no one will get hurt but you!"
2: A Picture of Sonic running at Max Speed, with Bowser running behind him. Bowser: "Must hurry, pant pant, to the Nintendo Direct, pant pant!" Sonic: "You're too Slow!"
3: A Picture of the Spirit Tracks stage, with Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu being on the train. "All Aboard The Hype Train!"

If Palutena is added then this'll be the smash that added the most individual females.

There's only 2 pics to the direct, not three.

Really? Hmm. Let's see...

64: Samus and arguably Jigglypuff.

Melee: Peach, Zelda/Sheik (counting them as one person)

Brawl: Zero Suit Samus

4: Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina, Palutena.

Yeah, you're right.

Customizable Villager would be a better alternative to Miis...actually, yeah, I like this idea. I mean, the only way I could stomach Miis is if they had a customizable moveset anyways (I'd flip if it was a sports moveset...Waluigi would be better for that and that's saying something)

I'll be honest though, I won't be playing Villager much anyways. Least favorite newcomer, since I don't like Animal Crossing at all.

Imo, Little Mac>Mega Man>WFT>Rosalina>Villager.

I qualified them as indiviual so Sheik, Zamus and Nana didn't muddy things

Ah, I see. Either way, you're right. Which is cool. I like female fighters in Smash.

I Think you forgot to say 'two' there. ^^

And no, there's Three. One for Monday, one for Tuesday, and one for Wednesday. There's Always a Pic of the Day on the same day as Directs, and I doubt it will be different this time.

64 had Samus.

Melee had Peach, Zelda, Marth and Sheik. I'm counting Sheik as her own.

Brawl had Zero Suit Samus.

This game, we have WFT and Rosalina. However, there are multiple females that can be included:
  • Palutena
  • Dixie Kong
  • Lucina
  • Robin
  • Lip
  • Tetra/Toon Zelda
  • To a lesser extent, Krystal.

It depends on where you live. Like, I live in EST. I'll have a Monday and Tuesday pic. Sakurai will update my Tuesday pic with some picture with whoever we have revealed, and that will probably count as Wednesday's, since he updated it on Wednesday.

True, but he will still post Three Pics of the Day Before the Direct starts (unless he completely ignores the PotD until after the direct, which I doubt), right?

when it came to Brawl when do people knew how many characters there were before release?


what about Thanatos instead? he'll make a more interesting addition I think.
Lol almost everybody in the KI U had alot of personality but i would like the major bad guy of the game personally.

As reluctant as I am about having Miis joining the roster, I've readied my body for their highly possible reveal.

Other than that i'm just really looking forward to seeing the game in motion. We've had tidbits of signs pointing to increased game speed and increased gravity, but i just want to see it. Trailers, and text isn't going to cut it! Maybe we'll end up having to wait until E3 to see off TV vids on youtube of SSB4 matches, but i'm looking forward to seeing the game!

We will get two. The direct is on tuesday, one for Monday, one for tuesday, though I guess Wednesday's might come early.

Well, Monday and Tuesday are pics for sure. Since on one side of the world, the direct is Tuesday, while the other is Wednesday, it will mess people up. People who watch it on Tuesday, since it is in their timezone to watch it on Tuesday, will get an update later that night on Tuesday that will count as Wednesday's pic of the day, since it'd be Wednesday where Sakurai was.

When Little Mac was revealed on Thursday (for people in the West at least), Sakurai updated the pic of the day that day for us, on that Thursday night. However, it counted as Friday's pic of the day since it was Friday already for him.

I... I guess that makes sense. I really, really suck at Time zones, lol. Sorry. :)

Oh well, there will be Three pics for me, at least. So, in some magical way, I get more pics than you guys do. ;P

Maybe he wants us to prepare our wallets because the game will be released soon.
Maybe he wants us to prepare our consoles because of a demo coming soon.
Or maybe he just wants us to know ahead of time because the usual direct warning isn't enough for some people.
Or he wants us to stock up on water-based lubricants because it doesn't hurt to prepare our anuses. :troll:

Would Dixie be a Diddy semi-clone? I mean, I know she wouldn't use the peanut gun, and would likely use her hair as a recovery move, but her fighting style would be the same or similar, wouldn't it?

Sakurai would surprise us, he always does.

Dixie at this Direct? Maybe. Both of the other Kongs are here for her, we very well just might see her.

Just like how Rosalina would be the same or similar to Peach, right? :awesome:

Marth and Ike are pretty boys with blue hair, and only use a sword. Are they clones? ^^ Nope, they share one single attack, being their obvious Down Special. Dixie has a LOT more unique things for her than either FE swordsman has to eachother. So, no, she can extremely easily have a very unique moveset. :)

Honestly, I hope you are all correct, and that if Dixie is in the game she has a distinct moveset that sets her apart from other fighters. I was disappointed when Roy was cut from Brawl simply for being a Marth clone when they could have done so much more with him to make him a unique addition to the roster. Maybe it would have been enough to make him worth keeping.

That's not it at all. I'd love to have an actual discussion on the potential of both characters but it's hard to do that when you keep putting words and strawmen in my mouth.

It's even harder when you're discussing with someone who says that Shulk is boring even though he doesn't know **** about Shulk.

The only way that this smash direct can disappoint is if they show only Mii as newcomer.....

Still pretty likely that Villager will have female alts as well, as keeping with canon within the series. I'd give a 1/2 point for Nana too.
