Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

See? There was nothing to worry about. Besides, new Smash info can't be posted on the weekends.

There you go, their secret announcement was an adventure dungeon mode. If Steve is in the game, it will be through Nintendo.
What's more disappointing, this, or the "one more thing" at the end of the Nindies Direct? At least I didn't waste my time watching Minecon.

Honestly the best point I've seen that isn't "No, it cannot happen". When the reality is? Yeah, it could happen, but it's probably not going to(key term being probably).

As I've said before, making declarative statements is always a bad idea when if you're wrong, it makes you look worse.

The problem with probability is that anything _could_ happen. They _could_ announce Steve at Minecon, but they _could_ also announce Hello Kitty at Quake Con. Not every probability is worth entertaining when the evidence against it is overwhelming.

If I'm wrong I'll take the L. But I'd rather be wrong once in a while than constantly disappointed by string-on-posterboard "theories."

Nice job fam!

So got a question if I do icons for all these girls would you want them based on these or should I just go off on my own path?


Either is fine but these are great!

Okay, so here's a little game for everyone. Let's assume one character from each of the following 12 pairs is getting cut in the next Smash. You decide who gets to stay.

:ulticeclimbers: or :ultgnw:
:ultdoc: or :ultyounglink:
:ultfalco: or :ultwolf:
:ultlucario: or :ultgreninja:
:ultlucina: or :ultchrom:
:ultrobin or :ultcorrin:
:ultrosalina: or :ultbowserjr:
:ultsnake: or :ultcloud:
:ultdaisy: or :ultrichter:
:ultlucas: or :ultisabelle:
:ultrob: or :ultwiifittrainer:
:ultridley: or :ultkrool:

Who would you save? You can base your decision on personal preference or likelihood. Doesn't matter what your reasoning is (although, feel free to explain your decisions if you want to).
:ultgnw:
:ultdoc:
:ultwolf:
:ultlucario:
:ultlucina:
:ultrobin
:ultbowserjr:
:ultcloud:
:ultrichter:
:ultlucas:
:ultrob:
:ultridley:

Lucario/Greninja and Ridley/K. Rool were so cruel...

So, whenever we see the Stage Builder (if it comes back), what backgrounds would you like to see (old and new)?

:ultgnw:
:ultdoc:
:ultwolf:
:ultlucario:
:ultlucina:
:ultrobin
:ultbowserjr:
:ultcloud:
:ultrichter:
:ultlucas:
:ultrob:
:ultridley:

I literally main Lucario and Greninja, so I was stuck there too.

Thank you!
I'd really like to see icons of these girls specifically, I think it'd be really cool.
But if you've got good ideas for designs don't let me stop you.

Basically i'm saying yes, yes i'd like to see these as icons. But only if you're cool with it.

The chance of Minecraft content getting revealed for Smash at Minecraft was extremely low. Same reason why you don't get Smash reveals in indie directs. It detracts from the main point of the event which is the actual game of Minecraft.

I really doubt we"re getting a playable Minecraft character (hopefully) and the only reason why this is gaining any traction whatsoever is due to "supposed leaks" that wasn't stated by Vergeban. Steve is not happening and I'm confident in it.

All I hear is bad declarative statements that should never be said.

You shouldn't expect a lot of things. Pretending they're impossible is just poor. Pretending they're likely is also poor. Nobody is pretending they're likely. They're just in the "eh, if it happens, cool, but I don't expect it".

Nobody is making some crackpot theory anyway. It's still actually more realistic than the bad chair theory too, which is saying quite a bit, since that had no evidence at all. We know for a fact Nintendo is willing to announce something at a convention/large event(as shown by EVO). That means it has a tiny chance of happening. That's a very reasonable thing to believe(that it could happen, but it's still pretty unlikely). Nobody is being unrealistic about it, and all these posts are jokes about it being confirmed. Nobody is even expecting it here, but in fact are in the "I highly doubt it" phase. Thus, there is no real problem to begin with.

Why do some folks here honestly believe anything relating to Smash will be announced at this convention in the first place!?

People seriously thought that those chairs were there to represent Tatl and Tael?

If anything, they made me think of Wario more than Skull Kid.

Did anyone seriously think EVO would announce anything related to Smash? The fact it happened was completely insane and unexpected.

It's the only reason to bother keeping an eye on other events. Not that they're likely to happen(they aren't), but because Nintendo has clearly changed up things and surprises can happen. Being likely isn't a requirement. Of course, nobody is spreading false hope either as nobody was expecting information at Minecon anyway.

The chairs were CLEARLY a confirmation of Ken. Yellow to match his blond hair, purple to match his Hyper Fighting colors.

My problem is that the entire thread talked about Minecon for how many+ pages as if there was any meaningful (realistic) chance of anything Smash related happening. I literally skipped multiple pages on this thread as I already dismissed the very small chance of anything happening.

Evo is a different matter entirely. Smash is actually there and ran as an event there and considering how Nintendo has been marketing Smash as a competitive fighting game since Smash Ultimate ; it wasn't entirely out there; just unexpected, but not unrealistic . Minecon and Smash are entirely separate. One would look in this thread and think there is a good chance of something smash related being at Minecon.

It's the same thing. Both were major events and nobody was expecting any actual Smash news. Nothing changed whatsoever in that regard.

Minecon was being talked about because Minecraft is a constant Smash subject here. It made sense to keep an eye on an event, especially since many people expect Minecraft content in Smash itself(regardless of Steve being playable or not). It was not an odd subject to come up.

The only issue is that a lot of it wasn't strictly related to Smash itself, and that's an issue this thread has as is. Too much Social stuff. >.< But that's not a problem related to Minecon(which was actually on-topic in this context).

"Everything that's a video game fits Smash"

Monika for Smash plz
Only leeway for that one is that some Project M staff did DDLC. Even then, people would prefer characters from other games that messed with players' perception of games before DDLC did, like Irisu, Sans and that character from Eversion.

Finally, someone else that gets it! It's even more absurd when they assumed the couch and pillow have anything to do with the chairs.

For the people who (good choice!) aren't watching Minecon.
It's over.
Steve was not revealed.

Who said anything about that? That's a leap of logic that nobody actually said. I guess I can see where it could be accidentally implied, but nobody spoke of who would be presenting the information, so it wasn't really a relevant point to be countered.

Being revealed at an Event doesn't mean that somebody other than those two would reveal it. It'd still be Nintendo or Sakurai announcing it regardless. People thought there was a tiny chance the location of Minecon would be used to announce Minecraft Smash content. Nobody was expecting it, of course. But the location has nothing to do with what people are presenting it.
