Yeah. I am not a big Kid Icarus fan either. It appears to be an item you get in Uprising though. It is called Back/Front Shield. I think he has both for the sake of the move. Maybe it replaced his reflector shield? Like I said... I don't really know much about Kid Icarus either. That was actually why I was hoping people would talk about it (because I have no idea what it is).
It's the Mario 3D Land Stage, looks like it'll be like a mix between Mushroomy Kingdom and Delfino Plaza, gimmick-wise, making it unlikely for tourney play, but the stages you mentioned appearance-wise.
I agree. Mushroomy Kingdom was a stage that probably sounded good on paper but didn't translate well to being an actual stage imo. Especially since they made one of the most iconic levels in gaming history so boring and drab looking. I don't care for moving stages (which I assume this one is) in general, but at least this one is full of colour and not as clustered as Mushroomy Kingdom (from what we've seen so far ofc).
every few days they have been rearranging the layout of the pictures, i dont think it means anything, just the newcomers are twice as big so it leaves a gapHas anyone noticed there is something empty in the character roster on the main page of the Smash Bros website? Something says me a new character will be confirmed soon...
That's true, but they purposely made it look dreary and abandoned, when it really just came out looking boring and dull (at least to me). Even though they focused on a darker style and realism they still could've made it brighter and cheerier if they wanted to (look at Delfino Plaza or Rumble Falls or something), it was mostly a stylistic and aesthetic choice (that they might've thought complimented the overall theme of the game) that I'm glad they're staying away from this time. Well... at least to my knowledge so far.
Before I begin, I'd like to apologize for anything that may upset anyone. Also for the length of this message. But I've been reading this thread and there are some things I'd like to say.
First off, has anyone read the interview with Sakurai on ign? Here's a link: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/03/creating-super-smash-bros-for-wii-u-and-3ds?page=1. It really says a lot for the games; I think. Ign is actually a good source for any news on the games. I check it daily for anything new; as I do with the official site.
Next is a couple questions. What time(s) would you think that any updates, besides the pictures, would take place? I am in the Mountain Standard Time zone. Next, would you think Sakurai is in Japan working on the project? Or at Nintendo Headquarters in Washington? Also, going along with the first, would you think any different updates would be put up along with or separate from the daily pictures? Lastly, are Nintendo Directs released in the middle of the month? And I'm assuming there is no way of telling when they will show, is there?
As far as development goes, I read an article stating that the 3DS version of the game is actually further developed than it's Wii U counterpart. I'm assuming that it means further developed in terms of options, modes, extras, stages, etc. As you may have noticed, you don't see many 3DS images on any characters, or in general. And with the newcomers, only Megaman has any pictures on the 3DS version. So obviously, Sakurai has developed enough of the characters and stages to show what it'd be like. But on the Wii U, development has been focused on characters and stages to show, in better quality, the new things to the game. This is mostly my own opinion. This is not fact. Just as a disclaimer.
Honestly, I don't really know much at all about Little Mac. Many have been saying that he ought to be featured in the game. But I don't really know anything about him or his games. So I'd be interested to see him. But I'm not sure if that is likely. Many have also mentioned Pac-Man and Mii. I think both would be great additions. And there is a window of possibility as far as them being included. Many characters that people have talked of are unlikely, but possible; some more than others. I'm really excited to learn of all the new characters.
I'm assuming almost everyone here has seen the developers direct and all the newcomer videos. Masahiro Sakurai explains a lot in that direct. Including the new weapons he has. Guardian Orbitars and the Upperdash Arm are the names of those weapons. Both are from Kid Icarus: Uprising. The orbitars are shields that can be used as a weapon. The arm is just a weapon used. But back to the subject of the videos. All can be revealing in some way. In the direct especially. He goes into specific detail with all the newcomers. So the direct is a good video to watch; if you haven't seen it already.
Another thing. I honestly like the daily pictures. Many can show new things. Others are just funny. But all are great. I don't mind them too much. But I do sure wish for more.
There is a lot said here on this thread. Much of which I would like to mention, comment, or say something about. But alas; I will not. For the sake of the fact that it'll take some time and there is too much. But I appreciate all that has been said. I check this daily for new comments and speculation. Thank you for your input. I hope you could get something for this. And please let me know what you think. Sorry again for the length and anything upsetting or demeaning. Thanks for reading.
P.S. Here is a link to something else I said before. In case you were interested. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/632937-super-smash-bros-for-nintendo-3ds/66564805
If your referring to the Wii Fit Trainer's picture it is a WiiU shot, but there's a glitch on the site that some people have been getting showing it with the wrong frame, happens to me all the time. Hope that clears it up.
The daily updates are at 5 to 5:30pm every day Tokyo time, which is where Sakurai's company, HAL Lab Inc., is located. That is about the time he gets off work, I would imagine, so he's in Japan.Before I begin, I'd like to apologize for anything that may upset anyone. Also for the length of this message.

Me too. Maybe it has something we would take it as a leak?
