I did notice this effect as well, which appears to indicate the amount of shield damage taken, and the amount of the shield left, with the display of the circles. This definitely could appeal to both sides, competitive and casual.

Considering my boi's unique shield, I wonder how it that will be indicated with him...

He probably won't have it, his egg will just change tint as it always has. Who knows though they could add cracks to the eggshell to indicate shield strength. I could see it as he'd be a special case. As a fellow Yoshi main, I too am quite curious as to how this effect will be applied to the Yoshter.

 

[StormC]

Please point me to where it was said Nintendo refused to let Retro use the character.

I'm slowly catching up on this thread, and I don't believe anybody answered your question, so without further ado:

At the 5:52 mark. Tanabe discusses how he and Miyamoto came to the conclusion of "does K. Rool really need to return?" and that they asked Retro to come up with new enemies.

This **** is why Miyamoto is a detriment to Nintendo, I'm sure he persuaded Tanabe because of "muh new ideas". Bet he feels really silly now with how huge of a reaction K. Rool's reveal gotten, which at this point, has become the biggest.

If it's not applied to Yoshi's shield, I can't tell if it's an advantage to him or not as there's no visual indicator for how strong an attack is PLUS his shield never shrinks like always...

 

[Shoopdawooper]

Uhm. What's stopping anyone from setting up a random countdown? Is there even any association to Nintendo? So yeah. Not that weird. Easiest explanation often times the best one folks.

 

[The_Naraotor]

Why I never thought of sir Daniel Fortesque from MediEvil for Smash Bros being a good repr for Sony dang.

Um, what? Did I miss a conversation from a while back?

They could have the darkness grow from the outside inwards with the amount showing how much damage the egg shield has taken.

That being said, in Yoshi's character video, his shield doesn't seem to darken when Bowser. Jr punches it.

I mean, Quote has the honor of appearing in a crossover with the most iconic Manga/Anime character of all time, Astro Boy. That's something not even Mario has done yet. He may not be in Smash, but he's gone far.

 

[Dukemon]

An antvertising video on YouTube from SSBU says that the game will be fully translated (German trailer).
But what does Nintendo understand "fully on [any language]"?

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

"Why is everybody misspelling 'Hulk'?"

I think you mean "Shulkie", aka She Hulk.

So what you're saying is... Astro Boy as a Mega Man Echo?

 

[ThatOneAnon]

Surprise plot twist: The Square rep is in the base game, Incineroar is DLC

Fake, Pyrosphere is disconfirmed.

Shulk, huh? If they insist on posting veterans, they'll run out of them at this rate.

Yeah, it's a wonder he hasn't been barred from doing anything on Paper Mario at this point. If that series dies, he'll be confused as to why.

Why I never thought of sir Daniel Fortesque from MediEvil for Smash Bros being a good repr for Sony dang.

Because Sony doesn't allow Smash to have nice things?

Um, what? Did I miss a conversation from a while back?

Long story short, there's a site that counted down towards a potential Direct reveal this Wednesday. They apparently miscalculated.

I mean, Quote has the honor of appearing in a crossover with the most iconic Manga/Anime character of all time, Astro Boy. That's something not even Mario has done yet. He may not be in Smash, but he's gone far.

Yeah, but Crystal Crisis is a rather weird crossover. That very same game has Johnny Turbo in it. Nicalis has a rather...special, idea of what a crossover is.

I wonder who it is over there that thought "You know what we should do? Make a puzzle game with our stars meeting up with Tezuka's characters!".

That being said, Quote definitely has a chance, assuming that Sakurai takes the various Cave Story re-releases into account and doesn't treat it as a Shovel Knight case.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

So weird question that may have been posed before.. In an alternate universe where Sony werent spiteful and vindictive and it was them with a chance of a character in Smash, not Microsoft, which character do you THINK it'd be and which would you WANT it to be?

I'd think itd be Old Man Kratos, but i would want more than Anything Cole Macgrath from Infamous.

For likeliness, probably Kratos

As for want, I gotta believe in my boi Parappa the Rapper.
Not only is he one of the only og Playstation mascots that Sony still owns, but he also helped create an entire genre in Rhythm Games...
Actually, think he's pretty likely in terms of Sony Reps
Also, we need an excuse to get this in a Smash game.

I refuse to even open any links someone just leaves here saying "I'm just gonna leave this here" or "guys look at this" or anything along these lines. ****ing tell me what it is about.

 

[Door Key Pig]

Nice render.

 

[xzx]

I'm a leaker and Mario will be in the game

 

[MSmariosonic]

I'm a leaker and Mario will be in the game

I highly doubt that

He doesn't deserve to be in Smash

He isn't iconic enough

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

I’d prefer Shantae by a large margin but Quote would actually be pretty cool.

 

[ThatOneAnon]

If there is any indie rep that should get in before any other, it’s Quote.
He’s the OG. I’d say he has a somewhat decent chance to be DLC as well. Same with Shantae and Shovel Knight (yes, I still maintain that we’re going to get ATs upgraded to playable status for DLC. Sakurai will find a way).

 

[True Blue Warrior]

So anything interesting happening recently?

 

[Robertman2]

Ah, Jump Force. Ultimate Battle would make a great final boss battle theme for that game, in my opinion.

Even if the final boss is Light Yagami in Goku's body?

 

[CannonStreak]

Even if the final boss is Light Yagami in Goku's body?

Possibly. I wouldn’t mind that.

 

[Luigifan18]

Even if the final boss is Light Yagami in Goku's body?

Wait, what. How. The Death Note does not allow its wielder to possess people.

Friendly reminder to turn off friend requests and ps messages on the PS4.

You guys want bad leaks? I'll tear this one apart for ya'll
http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/435131354

Alright, a source of mine has some inside info on the game.

Actually a good start. You never want to disclose where that info came from and if you do you're automatically fakr

They know none of you will believe this,

Oh hey they just shot themselves in the foot by playing "no one will believe me but i dont care" card.

so they also told me to mention that the next fighter on the blog will be Mr. Game & Watch.

"The next blog post is X" is the new "the next PotD is X" and it's just as bad

Newcomers:
Skull Kid
Banjo
Elma
Magolor
Geno

This is some pre September Direct-tier leak. What I mean is that it sucks, it has Everyone's Favorite Character to Leak aka Geno. Banko and Skull Kid, Elma for "eh she's talked about but not that talked about" and Magolor because of course we need that one character that won't be in and is not what kills this leak because it died when it said Banjo

Also did I mention no Incineroar?

Echoes:
Ken (Ryu)
Dixie Kong (Diddy Kong, has DK's Up-Special)

People really do believe hair and arms work the same way, huh

Shadow (Sonic, has a unique Side-Special and Up-Special)

Yeah sure whatever

Black Shadow (Captain Falcon, uses a moveset inspired by Ganondorf in Melee)

If Dr. Mario is nor an Echo then Melee Ganon is definitely not one either lmao

5 more stages:
Forest Maze (Super Mario RPG)

Man if I didn't know better I'd think Forest Maze is the only area in SMRPG

Spiral Mountain (Banjo-Kazooie)
Ultra Space (Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon)

Me trying to make sense of a Pokemon stage without a new Pokemon is hurting my head
Also, Ultra Space is from Sun and Moon.

Namco Museum (Transforming stage based off several games, includes Pac-Man/Galaga/Dig Dug)
Crafted World (Yoshi's Crafted World)

I'm not even gonna bother with Namco Museum that's just sad
And Crafted World might as well be the Geno of stage leaks

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

I'm a leaker and Mario will be in the game

Can we please ban him for spreading false information

 

[TheMilkmann]

So anything interesting happening recently?

Nothing interesting has really happened, still the same insanity as we wait for the direct. please sakurai calm our spirits..

 

[Buzzwole]

I mean, Quote has the honor of appearing in a crossover with the most iconic Manga/Anime character of all time, Astro Boy. That's something not even Mario has done yet. He may not be in Smash, but he's gone far.

Astroboy is iconic but calling him the most iconic of all time is a massive stretch

The PS4 message controversy happened, doh.

 

[Cosmic77]

This **** is why Miyamoto is a detriment to Nintendo, I'm sure he persuaded Tanabe because of "muh new ideas". Bet he feels really silly now with how huge of a reaction K. Rool's reveal gotten, which at this point, has become the biggest.

Honestly, if K. Rool was already in Smash back then, I don't think people would care nearly as much that he wasn't in DKCR.

Not the popular opinion around here, but I thought the new enemies were a breath of fresh air. I love the Kremlings, but they've been the antagonists of almost every DK game prior to Returns. Aside from appealing to my nostalgia, bringing back K. Rool wouldn't really bring about any major changes, or at least not to the same degree as the Tiki Tak Tribe and the Snowmads.

I usually disagree with Miyamoto, but I think he made the right call with this one.
