Ashley's death caused some major strife. It's the first we've really seen... Toad's death was pretty gradual; Starfy had too few supporters; Skull Kid wasn't ever really expected by anyone.

However, not every character with a large fanbase can make the cut. Deconfirm Miis, Chrom. K. Rool, Bandana Dee, Ridley, Little Mac, Mewtwo, Roy, Isaac, Shulk, Palutena, or any veteran and there will be blood.

I can't believe that there was some strife for Ashley. I know that she has a fanbase, but I never imagined the reactions that were set off (that one video on YouTube about her… just wow).

I can't see characters like Miis, Chrom, King K. Rool, Mewtwo, Shulk, Roy, or any veteran get disconfirmed now. The only way I see them get disconfirmed now would be via an interview with Sakurai or the whole roster getting leaked. Bandana Dee is not in the clear as he still has to worry about Waddle Dee Toss, Ridley is still up in the air with the Pyrosphere, Palutena can end up being a part of Pit's Final Smash again, and Little Mac and Issac could be shown reprising their roles as an Assist Trophy at any moment.

But yes. Any of these characters getting disconfirmed will have numerous websites reacting towards it. Though, I find that the list of characters you've made will get disconfirmed sooner or later (except for maybe King K. Rool or Shulk), it's only just a matter of time.

I'd be a happy camper if they deconfirmed miis

I like how there was the general idea a while back that Viridi was deconfirmed upon mention of the Reset Bombs, yet people still believed she could still be simultaneously playable and causing the events of a stage.

My condolences to those of you in support, but arguing to put her in the morgue isn't going to ease the grieving process now...


Nevermind, it turns out we came to a consensus that she was deconfirmed a while ago. My condolences for those few of you who couldn't accept it until seeing it with your own eyes...

No lie, Viridi looks better than the characters themselves since she's part of the stage. I'm really impressed with the modeling work done for the 3DS version. Takes someone who knows the hardware to get something that polished-looking out of it.

Welp, Viridi is disconfirmed now. I thought there was a miniscule chance of her playable, but maybe because I haven't played Uprising.

Well, now I'm ok with her being considered her disconfirmed.

This is much better then people betting on weird text.

I'll continue to say it once and I'll say it again, we had no context. It could have meant Viridi, it could've meant it was her fault and it was just her minions.

Well, she's officially disconfirmed now. Sorry to all of the Viridi fans. Personally, I like her more than Palutena, but I didn't expect her to be playable.

Well, look's like Virdi is now actually deconfirmed.

Sorry to those who though she stood a chance of not being deconfirmed. I never though she was going to be playable, but I didn't think she should have been deconfirmed until seen.

Hopefully Ridley escapes the same fate.

We now have better evidence that proves that Viridi isn't playable, thanks to today's screenshot...



As such, the primary post has been updated with additional info.

Virdi looks amazing.

Also, she should be in the sky for the Graveyard image

Tbh, I knew Viridi was gonna be part of the Reset Bomb Stage. After all, that Chapter in Uprising is her debut chapter, with her appearing in the background after the Reset Bomb explosion. Just wonder how long it'd take for Sakurai to show us, and now we got it. I'm kinda sad a bit too since I liked Viridi, but at least she's in the game in 1 way or form. That's an improvement compared to those who aren't in at all.

People actually thought Viridi would make it in? If any other Kid Icarus character will make it in it will be Palutena. Even Dark Pit would have more of a chance.

No kidding. Inb4 you go online and join some friend fights and they all pick Reggie Miis spamming taunts with bubbles saying "My body is ready." Meanwhile, you stand there awkwardly as Mega Man or someone else on the roster. I understand that people think they're unique, and I don't blame them, but I wouldn't be sad in the slightest to see Miis get the grave.

The only two characters with that seem to really upset people at the moment are Toad and Ashley. This might have to do with not many really expecting Viridi or Skull Kid. Starfy is in this boat too. Since those two had notable fanbases. Granted they weren't extremely huge, but notable enough given the amount of disappointed/angry comments found about random places. This has to suck for fans of Viridi.

But on a different note, does this thread have a theme song? If not, I would recommend Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". Freddie Mercury can use his powers to help people feel better, I guess.

Why would people expect Ashley though? She was always pretty unlikely.

The text wasn't weird. When it's outright said that "Viridi, Goddess of Nature, is about to obliterate the humans as they battle, driven by greed.", I think it's pretty friggin' safe to say that Viridi, Goddess of Nature (full title specifically mentioning her) is about to obliterate the humans (future tense, a premeditated action and therefore on purpose) as they battle driven by greed (motive for the Goddess of Nature). How the hell do you get no context out of all of that?

Additionally, if you've actually played Uprising, the exact same Chapter this stage is based on has Viridi, in her introduction, wanting to deliberately use her reset bomb on the humans. There's absolutely no reason why she would "accidentally" set one off, and only she possesses the power to release Reset Bombs. The only thing weird would be details like that getting skewed around so Viridi could be playable.

The minority was in denial, nothing more. Again, my condolences, but it's not appropriate to defend past assumptions when the majority has already moved on.

I never said that she was likely. I just said that she had notable backlash when it was revealed that she was an assist. Though some of those people overreacted quite a bit. Some even said that they wouldn't even buy the game anymore, which is a little silly. I mean even if Ridley wasn't in the game, I would still get it. I'm sure some people must like at least another character or two to look forward to.

I don't remember seeing many people that upset over Toad outside of the Toad support thread... people love their lolicon, I guess. :dizzy:

I understand that, but I don't know why there would be a backlash because of a very outsider character not being included. It'd be like getting angry that your local independent candidate lost an election against someone in a major party. It's so unlikely that there's no need to be angry when it doesn't happen.

You mentioned pits final smash... In smash 4 pit lost his mirror shield(which is a sacred treasure) and got the guardian orbitars.
In brawl pit screams "all troops move out" while palutena appears in the background through an 2d astral image for pits final smash. So people said that pits new final smash could be the 3 sacred treasures( MIRROR SHIELD, arrows of light and centurion helm?) therefore palutena could be a new character or AT and may not be apart of pits final smash.

I am not saying that it will happen, but it can happen. Pit can easily be given a brand new Final Smash thanks to Kid Icarus: Uprising. I'm just saying that you have to keep these possibilities open.

Let's get the one big thing straight here. I had no hope for Viridi. None at all. I wasn't clinging on to what ever was left.

What I was trying to do, and what I truly care about in this thread, was stop people from calling a character dead without definitive evidence.

Without definitive evidence, it's murder. I don't care what you think of a character or there chances, the point of this thread is to RESPECT the dead, not to see how quickly and how many we can get dead and then laugh at the supporters' faces.

With that said I want to address another thing.

You thought I meant they accidentally sent the reset bomb off? Thats what you got from that?

Well, sorry for not being specific, but what I meant in terms of context was a more commanding thing. Like she could've been anywhere while she told her minions to fling the reset bomb at the target. I always meant she did it on purpose.

Because of that, she could've commanded it while on the battlefield.

Now, of course that doesn't happen in the game, we all know she's probably somewhere in some sort of base or something in the actual game, but all I was only trying to say that there wasn't as much proof like Toad, starfy, the like.

The problem before this announcement was that we didn't know what they were doing with Viridi. It's kinda like Ridley right now. There were too many variables before this point. We still don't know what they are doing with Ridley. If we are following your logic that stages follow exactly like where they take place in the game, then Ridley is a stage hazard, and we both know that isn't fair to just consider him dead with few evidence on that right?

As for why I quoted you in the first place, it wasn't so that I can argue with you about "the chance of Viridi" it was more so to remind people that jumping to conclusions is usually bad.

(Btw, "if I actually played that chapter?" Dude, that's my favorite chapter, I play it all the time).
