Sure but Sakurai can't simply put whoever he wants. Paula and Poo, for example, would make more sense as Earthbound fighters but Ness had toplam be chosen, since he is the main character. Within Awakening you have three choises: Robin, Lucina and Chrom. Only Robin could do stuff Marth and Ike can't. After that, it's not rare RPG characters using skills they don't normally use in their games.
Oh man, Frog Forest.... that track brings back so many memories. I loved the stage and theme, it’s so peaceful.
Again and again, I am NOT trying to find a pattern, I'm trying to kill the time because talking over and over about echoes and fake leaks is extremely boring.
I don't really like trophies, but the character trophies are an exception since I feel they're earned more directly than the rest. I really loved how Melee had the Smash render and then a version that was more indicative of their home series. The only problem with this is that when you're fixing up alternate character models for a trophy, then people (myself included) are going to start going "Why can't I play as that [insert character here]??"Something I'd like to return from older games is using the Classic iterations of trophies from Melee. I thought that the fact they were designed solely off of their own series was very neat, especially the contrast between the classic non-detailed cast and the model we have in-game. Though, a lot has changed from 2001 to 2018, if they were to include them I don't think they'd (or for this example, Mario) would spot this design:
I think more realistically in today if they were to implement them it'd be either a model from New Super Mario Bros. or Mario Odyssey:
Though, to be truly woke, you'd use the old Mario 64 CSS since it's his earliest true 3D model.

And the Alt. Trophy would obviously be the Smash render, gained through either an All Star/New Adventure/any new mode in general. Wii U already had both an alternate costume variant (Melee called them Smash) and Final Smash trophies combined. Bringing the Classic trophy idea back is definitely a pipe dream, but a feasible one in my opinion. Would like to your thoughts.
For some characters like Yoshi, Meta Knight and Greninja (characters who didn't even get a showcase in the Direct), a 2-sentence description in the "Today's Fighter" entry is welcome info. It can give an impression of what the devs have in mind for the character...
You know what? **** it. Keep hyping up yourself for no reason. You seem to love the constant feeling of disappointment
Well, I was disappointed as well today. I thought we found a pattern that we got a music track every Tuesday (Monday in America?). I was disappointed because that one music track was normally a really good thing to listen to. And it was the only actual "new" thing in the week. So maybe there is hope for another new item / stage / assist trophy / Pokéball Pokémon to be revealed this week? A fighter isn't coming people. Believe me. ;-)
I'm pretty sure the Snipperclips track was added on a wednesday

What people were even expecting? I can get wanting more items and stages but we are getting veterans for days, it's not unexpected.
The only way i can see him be decent is to make him like little mac. Not as in "give him a terrible recovery" but make him a glass cannon. He can be amazingly easy to kill, but he has good killpower and possibly even can stun with his self-harming attacks to combo. So now you just have Clairen from RoA in smash.
One of the greatest Pokemon to ever exist. I'm curious what types of buffs Pichu got for being away for 17 years
It not even that I would at least expect a unique photo with the post but we don't even get that. No point of the blog tbh
I mean, if you already watched every video on the site, you can just stop following it, because it's what we'll get in the near future.
Nah, I agree that not even a new screenshot of the character can be disappointing, idk who said it but they really shouldn't have given us the character trailers until it was their day, then we'd have more to look forward to like that, people would anxiously wait hoping "Oh, when will Wario appear? Will he have his shoulder bash back?" and stuff
You know that's true and maybe I should but you can't say it annoying seeing these updates being such a snore
There really isn't.
I've thought of doing that, but at the same time, I'm worried about missing something and having ****ing GameXplain or some 14 year-old on YouTube spoil it for me.
oh... wait, for japan is one day more... cool, now I can add more stuff to the calendar to entertain myself
At this point, I don't think any of those three have any real chance of making the cut. Incineroar seems to have the upper hand, especially with Game Freak pushing it harder than the other 7th generation starters.
You know I never understood why Gamexplain reposted Nintendo's trailers, seems kinda... bad? (Unless they have permission to do so. XD)
Zinith
? The Yoshi's Island map is in the shape of Yoshi's Head.
It's pretty clear that the blog only covers stuff that's already confirmed to be in the game. This pretty much means that we'll be left in the dark, in regards to potential newcomers and game features for quite a while.
No, and I have no idea why considering I like Dragon Quest and have a lot of Wii games.You know I never understood why Gamexplain reposted Nintendo's trailers, seems kinda... bad? (Unless they have permission to do so. XD)
I'm in the mood for more "summery" music! Let's go with some Yoshi today~!
You ever played Fortune Street,
I Just want a gunsword, either as an item or a character that uses one. Coming up to the 5th Smash game and the closest I get to wielding one is watching Saki Amamiya play.
I love ninjas and ninjaesque things, that's why Sheik is my favorite character, has been since Melee, so to get another ninja especially Ryu Hayabusa would be amazing.

Sakurai: I have heard that players wish for a character that wields a Gunsword, and I have chosen to listen to these demands. We have added Squall as a playable character; we hope you enjoy him.
The Chance Card theme is also Yoshi Music (specifically, the Athletic theme).
I actually couldn't agree more.
It's the track I play when I'm ready to hit the hay, still do from time to time
Petition for Intelligent Systems to make hating the French a canonical character trait for Marth
This too! Like I think we forget there were weeks of no news at the beginning, although I still think new photos are new photos.
Yeah. Never understood we people are expecting something new in a few days or so.
That would make my day, I'd probably touch the clouds with joy.
Don't get too close to the Clouds, there might be a sudden Squall and you could get hit by Lightning.
PotD in its first few months was the definition of suffering, at the very least with Ultimate's blog we know we're going to run out of pointless stuff eventually, and the shorter time until release means we could end up getting a lot of meaningful updates once we get to that point.
