I can see this being filled with super awesome stuff and then, at the end, the release date is set for 2015. Kind of like they make us really happy so the bad news is cushioned.
Do you remember Sakurai's New Year's Resolution? He said he wanted to get the game released within 2014. So, it seems quite unlikely that the game will be pushed into 2015.

I'm lucky enough to have spring break this week.
The only bad thing is school can't kill time like the February Direct
You have a great signature but... Marth is supposed to be before Rosalina. I couldn't help but notice. Anyway with the metroid pic today I wonder how all the Ridley fans are feeling for tomorrow.

I'm trying to figure out whether or not I should "go black" on all Smash Bros. news and discussion until the direct, as to not spoil anything and not over hype myself.

.... I'm not really a fan of the concept of Miis as playable characters. I enjoy them in Mii-centric games, but I would rather not see them in Smash over more distinct Nintendo characters. That being said, anyone who is arguing that they are not iconic is a bit naïve. They starred in some of Nintendo's best selling games of all times, and they represent new Nintendo IPs which is something people are always clamoring for. They have also appeared in so many games that their move set potential is vast. Wii Sports resort has them using everything from a Segue to Frisbees. Pilot Wings has them hang gliding and using a rocket pack. Find Mii has them using a sword and shield and all types of magic (fire, light, ice, etc.) Weren't they even riding in tanks in Wii Play?

If Miis are playable, I really hope you are limited to using the Mii tied to your Nintendo Network account as your online Mii. That would cut down on the more offensive Miis considerably. I also hope they do not have heavily customizable movesets, as that seems like it would be a lot of resources going towards just one character that could have gone to multiple characters.

I wouldn't be upset if Miis are revealed in the direct, but I would be kind of disappointed if they were the focus and we didn't get another newcomer in addition to them.

Too sure as usual I'd say.

You guys are all too eager to jump at any information you're given, real or fake. I know the hype is running rampant but come on.

I especially doubt they'd already delay the game now. Delays usually happen closer to the actual deadline, so I wouldn't expect a 2015 delay until towards this year's end. Heck, I wouldn't expect it period.

From everything we've heard development for this game has been going super smooth. Like, "add some stretch goal clones for fun" smooth. I severely doubt we'll get news of a delay during the direct... stranger things have happened, though.

8 months before the end of the year? There's no way... Brawl's was understandable because it was announced half way through October but with SSB4 already having about 28 months under its belt, there's no way they'd call it this soon. I don't think Nintendo's ever announced a delay further than 2 months before it was supposed to release *suddenly has flashbacks of Twilight Princess and shivers*

Dudes, imagine...

Pyrosphere picture tomorrow. Villager is present on Pyrosphere.

''Some say this peaceful Mayor seeks vengeance, but will he find it? Tune into the Nintendo Direct today!"

And then...

We get a trailer. Villager, Samus face off versus Ridley. Ridley confirmed for playable status. Samus and Villager are decimated him. Trailer seems to be ending when one last hero stands up for Smashville!

''TOM NOOK CHIMES THE BELL!"

-Tom Nook gameplay-

Trailer ends with Tom Nook standing over the beaten up body of Ridley. Explosions happen.

Fandom goes insane.

Tom Nook was actually a pretty big contender back in the Brawl speculation days so it would be poetic justice if he actually wound up being playable six years after most of his supporters bailed.

If this happened, as unlikely and not quite fitting [especially the end and the Potd. The vengeance thing wasn't made up by Nintendo] this would be really cool.

If Shulk and Ridley are confirmed in the direct, then Sakurai can reveal three different weight classes of Mii as separate clone characters and I would be 100% cool with it.

I don't see this happening. It's a system seller and they need to launch the secret weapons NOW.

Has Sakurai ever legitimately hinted at a new character through a Pic of the day? No. Getting a Metroid today has nothing to do with getting Ridley tomorrow. All we ever do in this forum is over-speculate POTD and call Sakurai a troll when our speculations are wrong.

Ironically enough, I've been of the opinion that if any character has the best chance of being 'resurrected', it might be Geno. Talk about coimng full circle.

Smasboards suck
Delay? Hmm wouldn't bother me. I've been preparing for one for a while now.

God, I wish... I really do. Aside from the director of the Mario and Luigi RPGs talking about considering reviving Geno and Mallow in future games last year, there's nothing to go off of. Geno's support base largely hollowed out after Brawl so it would be really out there if he actually managed to get Sakurai's attention after all these years.

Geno gets in. **** changes. The whole game changes. I actually would more than welcome this because so many people on Smashboards think they know what's what when it comes to character selection and Sakurai's choices for them.

So if he was to appear, I'd be all for it. Just for the destruction of the fandom's thought proecess it would achieve.

Can't see Super Smash Bros. working on an arcade. The problem is that arcade sticks has digital input while Super Smash Bros. games rely heavily on analog input.

Sure, Super Smash Flash 2 & Super Smash Bros. Crusade (and the Nintendo 3DS version of Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion) are doing fine with digital movement but REAL Smash games need analog movement.

If it were to happen, I think the decision would be made more from looking into the past and less on where things stand now.
