Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - December 3rd

[Smashboards]

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai said: "Pic of the day. Some characters were displayed flat in their original games, so we made some trophies flat as well. For example, flat trophies from Rhythm Heaven and WarioWare…"

He including a second image and said "Strike different poses when viewed from behind!! The designers made these from scratch for this game--thank you, designers. There are other trophies that may strike a completely different pose, and some may not even show their backs at all."

 

[ChikoLad]

So semi-animated trophies? That is actually pretty cool.

 

[Drazile]

he knowssss of rhythm heaven
he knowsssss

(read in Smeagol-esque voice)

 

[KuroganeHammer]

iirc the Kyle Hyde trophy from Brawl also was flat.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Rhythm Heaven trophies tho..... My sympathy's to the chorus men fans

 

[Kenith]

If this was revealed before release it would have blown everyone's MINDS.
It still blew mine. Still wish the Wrestler and Reporter were playable tho.

 

[Tanark]

Rhythm Heaven trophy... I guess this is a one of the supporting clue for Chorus men DLC?

 

[TheAnvil]

Rhythm Heaven trophy... I guess this is a one of the supporting clue for Chorus men DLC?

Uh... No.

Why are people still on the "Chorus Men will be DLC" boat? That ship sunk when the leak was debunked after Chrom was deconfirmed.

 

[Tanark]

Uh... No.

Oh, it is? well, good. I'm not a fanboy of Chorus men.
Thanks for replying

 

[Meiwaku]

Didn't someone a find Rhythm Heaven icon in the 3DS code? I wouldn't say they're a shoe-in, but it's not really debunked either...

 

[liets]

Well this pic is my birthday gift... not sure what to feel...

 

[Yoshi Kirishima]

Too bad couldn't play as the Reporter.

Oh well, can't have ALL the waifus I guess X)

 

[Lemon Girl]

Ikiwikitiki desu ka?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Rhythm Heaven trophy... I guess this is a one of the supporting clue for Chorus men DLC?

This has NOTHING to do with them. like at all. I hope you don't become a Ridely and yell Confirmed at every single thing.

 

[L9999]

What are they trying to say here?

 

[Deleted member]

Hopefully not, and probably not.

In my opinion, the Chorus Men have no place in Smash Bros. as a playable character.

 

[Tanark]

As I said, I'm not a fanboy of Chorus men nor Ridely. Well, I have Chorus-men-fanboy-friend and debated their moveset and concluded as "He won't be smash with that crappy moveset." same as Ridely. What can he do in Smash.

TL;DR. I don't want to they join in smash. I'm just curious about possibility about their attendance in smash

+Edit: Well, I guess there are no possibilities for chorus men

 

[Modular Zeal]

Uh... No.

Why are people still on the "Chorus Men will be DLC" boat? That ship sunk when the leak was debunked after Chrom was deconfirmed.

While I do have to agree with you, I feel that Chrom could easily be confused with Lucina, also he is pretty much in the game...

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Pose for the fans .......... until Sakurai gives you the promotion you deserve soon.

 

[Jigglystep]

Uh... No.

To be fair, the whole theory of Gematsu acquiring outdated information from early in development is still quite viable, especially considering he got everything else right and Sakurai did indeed consider Chrom..

..please I just want my Chorus Kids so badly.. ;~;

and how do you know he considerd Chrom? Because he is in a final Smash? nope.
*rubs your back* Its ok. I have sympathy for you

 

[Jigglystep]

Well, I'm actually referring to a certain interview where Sakurai discussed his viability as a playable character until they finally decided upon not including him due to less uniqueness. It suggests that Chrom may once have had a spot in the work-in-progress planned roster.

Here's the interview.

Most notably this part:

I played all the way through FE:A and really wanted to include a character from that rich cast in Smash Bros. Naturally, I considered adding Chrom to the roster, but the decision wasn’t easy by any means.

Flat trophies looks so lazy. Yes, they are 2D, but some other characters has had 3D trophies while being 2D in their original game.

And why are Mr. Game & Watch a flat playable? Because his games where 2D? So was Ness, and Pokémon, and Ice Climbers...

 

[TheAnvil]

Outtaded information doesn't make the slightest bit of sense, because he claimed that they were still considering to cut either Lucas or Ness right at the end of development.

Plus we know that Chrom was never planned to be included (only briefly considered).

 

[Minty_]

Dat butt -- Sexy. Hawt.

Shake that money maker baby. Shake it.

Being 2D in a 3d world is G&W's schtick, though.

 

[BigHairyFart]

Well this pic is my birthday gift... not sure what to feel...

Me, too!

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Because Nintendo!!

Seriously though, are you sure of what you're saying?

• Pokemon has 3D games (Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, all Pokemon games since X & Y, anything else I may have forgot)
• When Earthbound 64 was a thing (in other words, before it was cancelled), Ness was shown to be there and the game's also in 3D
• For Ice Climbers, it's an NES game...... If all NES series that managed to survive until the N64 (and/or beyond) got 3D, why wouldn't the Ice Climbers?

So Game & Watch is pretty much the only one left to still be 2D

The bolded bit is why I feel that the Gematus leak, regardless of what legitimate info it had, is no longer reliable due to having an outright inaccurate information. The outdated argument doesn't explain the fact that Chrom was on that leak despite never being planned.

 

[Luxuris]

Nice butt... nice butt~

 

[GymleaderBen]

dont really care if we got some characters from rhythm heaven, but god could they not put a single remix from fever in the soundtrack

 

[the101]

Subtly mentions Rhythm Heaven?
Chorus Kids DLC confirmed.

 

[NintyTheRagekid]

Okay, this has been bothering me ever since I saw the second picture.

HOW IS HER HAIR DONE DIFFERENTLY FROM ANOTHER ANGLE? ALSO THE MIC IS IN HER OTHER HAND! AND THE ARMBAND!

dont really care if we got some characters from rhythm heaven, but god could they not put a single remix from fever in the soundtrack

THIS.

Oh, and Happy 13th Birthday NTSC Melee. (I just wanted to throw that out there.)

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Oh, and Happy 13th Birthday NTSC Melee. (I just wanted to throw that out there.)

13 years of wavedashes, dashdances, clones, taunt cancels, waveshines, L-cancels, SHFFLs, wavelands, air dodges and Pichu ^_^

Melee's the best......

 

[bkslider]

I haven't examined too many Wii U trophies, but this is a cool tidbit. The attention to detail in this game is mind-boggling.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

[Modular Zeal]

[The Stoopid Unikorn]
