How about that S Tier Sakurai trolling though? Stage hazards returning *shows pyrosphere with Ridley's shadow* and the Pseudo-Palutena trophy. He scared the **** out of me when he said Zero Suit Samus wasn't returning.

Something doesn't feel right about the Ridley thing though. Why didn't he show him as the hazard?

Greninja right out of left field! Also the Pokémon trainer we know and love isn't returning, since Charizard is separate. Really good direct, immensely satisfied!

Eeh that was a sort of....iffy direct.

I'm really mad about Ridley, Tom Nook and Kamek.

And not sure how I feel about them seperating Zamus, Zard and Sheik.

...Huh. Well that was worth the hype. Greninja is an EXTREMELY random choice for a Pokenewcomer but whatever. RIP Ridley and Mewtwo supporters.

Guys, not gonna lie. I made the loudest fangirl squeal when they were building up to Greninja and said "IT'S MEWTWOOOO! MEWTWOOOOOOO!" But, it looks like that's now in vain. How embarrassing.

I thought Greninja was Mewtwo and got so hyped and was like GRENINJA?!? but he looks pretty cool anyways. I guess this means Pokemon Trainer isn't coming back? I'm so happy Charizard is his own character now though, THAT MEGA EVOLUTION CHARIZARD.

GRENINJA! Guys, transformation characters are no longer!!! Does this mean no more Squirtle or Ivysaur?!

Am I the only one who thought the trophy things weren't as random as they seemed? Maybe they hint towards things to come (essentially newcomers from the series, so Fire Emblem, Zelda, Kid Icarus and Metroid... especially the pseudo-Palutena and Metroid ones were very trollish)

Greninja was what I wanted. Awesome newcomer, and has great moveset possibility.

Everything was amazing except that the total lack of Mother content being shown with one version of the game releasing in a few months worries me a lot.

Greninja is the best new character ever

Other than all the other best new characters

Damn, that was sick! I'm a little disappointing the Wii U version is still far away, though. :urg:

Overall I like the look of the gameplay, it looks like it has a chance to potentially reach melee levels of competition. On the other hand, was not a fan of the character reveals. I've got a fever, and the only prescription, is more falco (or starfox character in general). And where in the world is Captain Falcon?!?

I feel...conflicted. Seriously, I'm glad characters returned and that ton of new was added, but honestly I feel kind of disappointed. Ah well, I guess. There's always E3 and any other directs.

Sakurai the Troll strikes again.

This is a lot to digest...

Ahem...

Dark Pit's Theme, New FD looks epic, Sheik is back, lots of new and two returning stages, epic items, freaking ARCEUS, Greninja, Id (Purpose)... THE LIST GOES ON!!

Whew... Gotta catch my breath.

It appears Ridley's time isn't now yet. But what is that compared with all the AWESOME I've witnessed?!

Guys, Ridley isn't deconfirmed.

They only showed a silohette. I saw Meta Ridley, who was also a boss in Brawl. Remember, Toon Link was shown on the Spirit Train stage.

Welp, time to start collecting the bodies. If this were an NFL Power Rankings, there would be so much movement after this direct.
