Smash Bros Direct on April 8th, 3pm PST!!

[Moon Monkey]

Simon Belmont.
He's all I want.
The coolest guy.
Please, Sakurai.

My Negro!

That's what i'm talking 'bout! I would love to see Simon Belmont!
I think that would also round out the Captain N cast.

 

[PikaJew]

Melee version is better (like always ) This one has them in tier order, so it's a bit neat in that regard.

This is exactly why this forum can't have nice things

why have nice when you can have amazing?

 

[Fatmanonice]

Do you guys think we are getting something unexpected like say Diskun or another WTF character?

Takamaru could actually count as these since the only people who really know who he is are die hard Nintendo fans. As far as actual WTF characters, maybe Tingle but, given how much he's hated in NA, I don't think Sakurai would risk isolating such a huge portion of the fanbase when it's obvious that they're wanting to go all out with this Direct.

Was the Wii Fit Trainer not WTF enough?

 

[Mr. Mumbles]

Ridley also has his chances, much to my dismay.

Don't worry there is a cure for the life threatening disease known as "not being a Ridley supporter." If you doubt the "life threatening" part, consider George Washington. Do you think he was a Ridley supporter? Of course not! And where is he now? Dead!

The cure isn't even painful. In fact, quite the opposite. The cure is the wave of awesomeness and SNES nostalgia that can only be unleashed by playing Super Metroid. So go get some Super Metroid into your system stat!

I think Sakurai will stay true to Ridley's original portrayal:
To big to be a normal character, put in background.

Oh, she was but I wouldn't be surprised if we got another, especially with how early she was announced.

There's so much wrong with this, but I'll ask you to take it to the Ridley thread.

Your opinions are wrong, plain and simple.

Olimar should be an item, he's too small.
^
That's how stupid Ridley detractors sound.

 

[Ascended]

While I'm a Ridley supporter, at this point I mainly want him confirmed just to see the meltdowns from the detractors. (Ohhh, how evil.) =3

 

[Bauske]

Smash 4 2048 game while we wait till Tuesday

Wow this is a stupidly fun little game. :D

There you go, stating opinion as fact and name calling.

I don't care much for Ridley, but he's clearly going to make it in. Ridley supporters seem to have little understanding of scale, but I honestly don't care.
Long time viewers may even remember what I said back on page 14, where I predicted he would be in this next direct.

I was simply referencing the fact that, in Metroid, Ridley was too big to be a normal sprite, so he was depicted with an animated background, making him quite literally a component of the stage. That's all.

The only thing that's going to happen is a metric ****-ton of gloating from annoying, self-righteous Ridley fans.

Edit: And maybe "Toobigots" making fun of how puny he is next to Samus, compared to his scale in Brawl.

How is it clear that he's going to get in? I don't know why so many Ridley supporters get so bent out of shape when people feel differently then they do. I personally don't believe Ridley will make it. If he does, good for him, I don't care. But supporters of him don't need to be so rude when people disagree. This is all predetermined and beyond our control, regardless of our support.

Anyway, I can't think of any of characters that could be revealed besides Issac his month...unless anyone else thinks otherwise?

Just because you have doubts (maybe even more doubt then anything else really) doesn't mean you can't be a supporter. Ridley isn't a religion. At least not yet anyway.

Personally I don't think he'll make it in, for various reasons (none of which I care to get into here for fear of starting a Ridley debate). But that just makes being a supporter all the better, as if he were unveiled Tuesday the doubts would make victory all the sweeter. Huh? I actually came full circle back to the topic. How did that happen? Guess I better start talking about waifus or something, but then again that belongs in the "Rumors and Leaks" thread.

Wow, somebody who has a sense of scale, holy carp.

Spoiler

While i think the whole size thing for Ridley is a meh subject, the counterpoint of kirby and olimar is baseless due to them both being moderately sized within the scale of their own games.

I honestly do want Ridley announced though, He'd look amazing and if he's Ridley sized then it would be hilarious.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Oh, she was but I wouldn't be surprised if we got another, especially with how early she was announced.

This is saying that, if another joke character is revealed, WTF WFT had potential to begin with.

I can accept this.

 

[Godking123]

I know Ridley is being revealed. He was long overdue to be disconfirmed like the Yellow devil, if he was not playable. HE IS IN

 

[Fatmanonice]

I hoping this Direct will end at least one of the debates that been going on since the game was announced:

-Ike vs Chrom
-Ridley too big or not
-Mewtwo vs Lucario

I'm so sick of all three of these...

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Who are teams?

(Just to bring things back on topic.)

Who are you, Sakurai?

But I wasn't defending Ridley... And made it as clear as I could that I don't support him...
I think you might have not read the previous posts there...

Edit: I've already said this, but I think Ridley is in because he has been hinted at pretty clearly, and Sakurai wouldn't deliberately be a jerk to his fan base.

Just because you have doubts (maybe even more doubt then anything else really) doesn't mean you can't be a supporter. Ridley isn't a religion. At least not yet anyway.

Either this is a nonsequitor, or I'm very tired...
...I must be very tired.

Yea; Its very obvious sir. It sure is sir Pony...

But... what would everyone talk about?

 

[Fatmanonice]

But... what would everyone talk about?

People could still argue about Dixie vs K. Rool I guess. For whatever reason I'm not feeling either of them for this Direct.

 

[WIldBam]

But... what would everyone talk about?

Other pointless arguments based more upon how much they want that character in rather than actual facts.

 

[Grinch21X]

Im still hopeful for Isaac, but at this point I dont think its likely at all. I REALLY want to see what the god damn "customization" in the 3DS version is already.

I think the "directionality" might be connected to the mechanics used in LM's Fsmash

 

[Starcutter]

what if the direct was delayed a day......


OMG NO PLZ SAKURAI

 

[WIldBam]

I wonder if Sakurai will talk about DLC, it would be cool if there was DLC, not necessarily for characters but like fore bonus stages, or perhaps stages from previous games that won't make it onto this game for retail. Would be cool as something extra, and I can totally see myself spending up to 5$ on a pack of all these stages...maybe 8$.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I don't mean to argue. I'm just asking what you mean here.

Cause Ridley was never just in the background of a Metroid game.

Or ****ing alternate costumes.

Didn't Sakurai say the directionality of moves will be changed?
Probably means you can alter angles characters are trajected when hit with selected moves.

still curious for clarification thorough.

I could tell you otherwise just by taking a look at his fanbase. Not directed at anyone in particular, but his fanbase is one of the most self-righteous and arrogant fanbases I've ever seen, thoroughly convinced that he's the definitive character and no one else, and it's part of the reason I don't really care for him much. I wouldn't decry his inclusion, because I'm not a douche, but I wouldn't be jumping for joy either.

We should probably take this to the Ridley support thread; avoid getting off topic.

No, pretty sure it's customization.

[BerryBomber]

I wanna hear some features of the gamepad, and if there are any special match setups using it has a 5th player, or a crowd control (oohs, ahhs, chanting), live stage editing (springs, items, etc), or whatever else they could come up with.

 

[DarrylTrainer]

Where is this character banner that you guys mentioned? I don't see one on the smash site or the direct site...???

 

[WIldBam]

Or ****ing alternate costumes.

Yes, alternate costumes would be a neat idea, I personally wouldn't spend money on that but I'm sure some people would.
