Well it's not like I'm expecting these two to return either at this point, I was just saying that Zamus and Sheik weren't revealed alongside Zelda and Samus either, unless I misunderstood his point which is probably the case I guess. :/
I understand what you were saying and what your opinion was, and I understood that you were just picking with your counterpoint. I was just providing context to the specifics of what you were picking because with the extra frame of reference it kind of changes how you view the order of the reveals.
Yes 5 million is 1/4 of 20 million. Except FE hasn't sold 5 million (I can't find any official source on the number, but it doesn't appear on the list of video game franchises with over 5 million copies sold) , and Pokemon Red/Blue sold 23.64 million.
Hold on a minute is the guy saying that falco will be revealed this week the same from Gematsu's?
Has anyone considered that the starting rosters for Wii U and 3ds could be different? The demos certainly had slightly different rosters.
No. This "leak" is from a different person as far as we know.
That's actually kind of interesting. (like toonlink is a starter and Link is the unlockable in the 3DS version or something.)
I do remember Lucario's hype as a secret character killed when it was leaked that he would be in :/
Newcomers? You mean veterans. Unless you are referring to Brawl.
Am I wrong if I hold my hope on those trophies that would imply newcomers from Zelda (Impa), Metroid (Ridley), FE (Chrom) and KID ICARUS (Palutena) ? That's actually the only thing I could admit as a proof that those newcomers are not the last ones.
Yes brawl my bad
I'd totally be cool with this, then they can just dripfeed us the newcomers instead. <_>
I think the trophy quiz theory has a pretty good chance of being true.Am I wrong if I hold my hope on those trophies that would imply newcomers from Zelda (Impa), Metroid (Ridley), FE (Chrom) and KID ICARUS (Palutena) ? That's actually the only thing I could admit as a proof that those newcomers are not the last ones.
Why the trophy quizz if it doesn't mean anything ? 14 newcomers is a good amount. If we remove Lucas, Squi and Ivy, we get 36 veterans for 14 newcomers, giving us 50 characters. Mewtwo back ? 51.
Now that I think about it, the guy on gamefaqs said his "friend" knew at least the number of characters per franchise. Why not giving us more information ? Like, Mario has 5 characters, FE 3 etc... ?
Someone should ask this guy. It's not against the Sal leak actually, so if it's true that Falco is revealed this week, we may as well know the number of characters in the process.
We'll know as early as a few days before Smash 3DS drops in Japan. So we'll know a lot sooner than that, my friend.
Oh yeah, that's right. My bad.We'll know as early as a few days before Smash 3DS drops in Japan. So we'll know a lot sooner than that, my friend.
I'm fairly certain they're secret, they're probably going to be our G&W/R.O.B pick for this installment. Yeah, RH is a popular franchise, at least in Japan, but I don't think many people expected a RH rep, let alone one that's likely going to be very whacky in his/their moveset, and the franchise isn't exactly known for its characters either. It's not super marketable either, RH doesn't need to draw attention atm. I don't think they'd whip up much hype either, they're too obscure, especially here in the west, and since our last chance of revealing multiple newcomers at once has passed with E3 I don't think they can stand alone in a Nintendo Direct, that's probably also why Wii Fit Trainer was revealed at last year's E3, she can't really keep hype up on her own, she needed the support, and Chorus Men probably do too.
I'm guessing that August will be Shulk as well.
The 3DS version releases September 13th in Japan, so we'll know the full roster in less then 3 months.
Depending on how they'd function, they could drum up a lot of hype. Has there ever been a 3-in-1 fighter in a fighting game before?
Pokemon Trainer
How in the world is Shulk more recognizable than Chorus Kids? O_o
Rosalina is a starter, honestly I can see Lucario and Greninja as starters too. Even Toon Link could be a starter. We'll just see when the game comes out.
3 Different Characters with their own distinct movesets that you were forced to master due you had to switch continueasly between all 3 of them due the stamina mechanic unlike Zelda/Sheik were you could just choose which form you would want to master
Not... Quite... What I'm getting at.
Xenoblade is actually about its characters, Shulk being in the middle of that, Rhythm Heaven is almost solely based around its gameplay, the characters are there just to spice things up, at least that's the impression I get. Just look at the intial reaction when they were first leaked, people were dumbfounded at it, and they didn't even have a thread before that either.
Unquenchable excitement
I don't think reactions in internet boards mean much. (Though I guess we're talking about trailer hype and all that but whatever) Rhythm Heaven significantly more than Xenoblade with Chorus Kids in the cover (and used for promotions and advertisements), and they're the second minigame in the game after the initial tutorial one. Rhythm Heaven also has a BIG cult following. It's not Team Fortress 2 levels, but the amount of parodies and fan videos of it is nothing to scuff at.
I had no idea that video existed. And she likes the Chorus Men in glee club and how animated they are.
The thing is that people remember the gameplay more so than anything else. Xenoblade is much more character centric, and because of this Shulk gets elevated quite some ways over Chorus Men in terms of recognizability and hype. I mean, who seriously remembers RH because of Chorus Men?
