"He's not very fast, but he's one of few heavyweight fighters with great recovery. "
"great recovery"

not if fludd has anything to say about that

FLUDD has something to say about every recovery. Except teleporting ones. FLUDD is a bully.

I'm gonna make a hard call that on Thursday at the end of the direct, we're gonna get Isaac, and that'll be our new music update, which will be why there's no music update tomorrow to hold off for the reveal.

The song will get accidentally posted Wednesday night one day before the reveal

Don't let us down Intern-kun!

Did I miss something about a Thursday direct?

If we go off of Pokémon, we have a playable Electric, Psychic, Fighting, Steel, Fire, Water, Grass, Dark, Flying, Poison, Normal and Fairy type Pokémon playable. So we don't have a playable Rock, Ground, Ice, Dragon, Bug, or Ghost type Pokémon playable at all.

If we got a playable Pokémon of each type (dual-types included), what would you all pick? For me, Haxorus, Escavalier, Decidueye, Weavile, Gliscor, Beedrill and Lycanroc.

 

[monadoboy]

I think Sakurai is going to give us secret unlockables after you beat the story

I'm like 87% sure Sakurai said every character would be revealed pre-release.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

The more I see of Ike the more I wonder how anyone could ever think he's straight.

Because Asexual people exist too. And people who can't tell when they're been hit on as well. And anime protagonists... Well they don't exist exist but you get what I mean.

Rhydon, Toxicroak, Haxorus, Genesect, Gengar, and Weavile.

It's just rumored atm.

I don't really know the gist of it though, just that some "insiders" on Twitter posted about it.

 

[Iridium]

I'm just surprised I didn't get to see this myself, and never saw the spoiling personally. But what if it happens again, but when nobody checks?

 

[Starbound]

Rock/Ground: Rhydon
Ghost/Poison: Gengar
Dragon: Hydreigon
Bug: Scyther
Ice: Alolan Ninetales

We're talking about the same fanbase that hyper analyze barrels, chairs and clouds.

An accidental leak by Nintendo slipping through the cracks completely unseen isn't happening.

You heard it here.

So there's Star as a Zelda echo but no Grunkle Stan as a Ganondorf echo?

I'm calling BS on this one.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Nothing confirmed, just rumblings and the fact that Nintendo NEEDS to clarify how their paid online nonsense works.

I need to see someone speculate how a speck or pile of dust looks like Geno or Gothitelle (hehe) so I be complete.

 

[Luigi The President]

Adventure Time is a masterpiece. Carry on

Here's why Gothitelle not appearing as a pokeball Pokemon yet is important

Star is more Popular in Japan™©[citation needed] than Stan.

And no Chowder as an echo of Yoshi?!!! F A K E

And where's my Flapjack as Villager echo?

 

[Hinata]

So you're telling me that Dark Samus was added because she was popular in the West, but Sakurai can't throw us one more bone with Grunkle Stan?

What a ****in' hack.

 

[Idon]

The more I see of Ike the more I wonder how anyone could ever think he's straight.

Well Priam was retconned into existence.

So somehow, somewhere, on his hobo journey with 2 of his best bros, he had a kid and passed the Ragnell down with it.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Or Dipper and Mabel as an Ice Climbers echo? What about Soos as a K. Rool echo? Spongebob as a Mario echo? Homura instead of Corey Baxter or Seinfeld?

You can't expect me to take you seriously when you offer up garbage like that.

 

[Deleted member]

Grunkle Stan isn't a Ganon Echo because Ford is the Grunkle Stan Echo.
Also, Mabel and Dipper are Ice Climbers Echoes, Alex Hirsch told me.

Because Asexual people exist too. And people who can't tell when they're been hit on as well. And anime protagonists... Well they don't exist exist but you get what I mean.

That doesn't contradict my point though

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

It's way too soon for substantially more Smash news. If there is a direct soon clarifying some online service stuff, expect to hear a minimum about Smash in it.

 

[Hinata]

Sure, we won't get substantial news, but it's not crazy to expect a single newcomer to be announced in whatever Direct may or may not be coming up.

Ivysaur is poison. But because Ivysaur doesn’t really use any moves that have poison-like properties(including his spore attacks) I would prefer we get a real poison rep.


Rock: Aggron/Rhydon
Bug: Golisopod
Ghost: Sableye/Aegislash
Ice: Froslass/Weavile
Ground: Palossand(I just want to see how he would be animated, man!)
Dragon: Flygon
Poison: Salazzle/Toxicroak

 

[Opossum]

Guys what if we got Ken as a Ryu echo, but it was Ken from Barbie instead?

Oops, I forgot that one, going to edit that in. Still keeping Beedrill though.

 

[MojoRobo]

Man I thought not using tumblr would let me escape stupid debates about a fictional character's sexuality but here we are.

Star is Japan's Ridley[citation needed].

Go to bed/outside/anywhere that isn't your computer, Opo.

 

[Deleted member]

Well Priam was retconned into existence.

So somehow, somewhere, on his hobo journey with 2 of his best bros, he had a kid and passed the Ragnell down with it.

There are four possible explanations
A) Ike cheated on Soren(extremely unlikely)
B) Mist is Priam's direct ancestor
C) Wizardry bull**** is involved(I'd say yes if this was Fate)

You tell me what you wanna believe.

 

[Deleted member]

Poison:

Not going to lie, I always forget Ivysaur is poison type.

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

Surrogates exist I guess, Doesn't Ike also have a sister?

 

[Abha]

Of course they add Ken before they even begin to acknowledge Barbie's long Nintendo history

Hey, that's a worthwhile lifestyle choice Fen!!! Just look at me...

I mean, to be fair, there's precedence for Fire Emblem to stretch the meaning of "descendant." Marth is, canonically, called the descendant of Anri (which is why he can wield Falchion), despite the fact that he's the direct descendant of Anri's brother. Going with that logic Priam could still be called "the descendant of Ike" if he was in actuality Mist's descendant.

Personally I always saw Ike as ace, but yeah.
