Marvelous! A user that time travelled from 9 months in the past!
This has already been argued to death, into the grave, and all the way beyond. Basically, it means nothing, seeing as it can refer to a number of things, such as what is reposted here:
The difference is that a boss if fought, while a stage hazard can only be avoided.
I need me one of them time machines. I wanna see every E3 for the next 20 years now!Marvelous! A user that time travelled from 9 months in the past!
Come on man, you gotta keep up with the times! The new "thing" among Toobigots is "The Direct said it's a boss!".
Oh, that is not Soda under your feet, Riddles
Hazards, so to speak, are elements which can influence the battle, but cannot be directly interacted with (with few exceptions such as the racers on the SSBB Mario Kart stage) and may exist as biological entities or simple stage characteristics (an example would be the lava on the Brinstar stage in Melee, the Arwings on Corneria, and the Red Bulborb on the SSBB Pikmin stage). Stage bosses differ from simple hazards in the sense that they are biological entities and can be directly interacted with and "defeated" by the player (the Yellow Devil is a the prime example of this) wherein their defeat can have an effect on the battlefield. It has yet to be seen (although I feel it is widely assumed true) if Stage Bosses can come back after being defeated or not, so a possible other difference exists between Stage Hazards and Stage Bosses in the sense that Hazards can repeatedly appear, while Bosses may appear only once and stay until they are defeated.
So, does that make Birdo a boss character?
Given hir size, more like a mini-boss character! Zing!
That all depends on if the Stage Bosses in Smash 4 return after their defeats or not, since she (I'm assuming) can reappear after being defeated. Birdo could also fall under the Stage Hazard exceptions I mentioned which can be interacted with.
He did indirectly by mentioning that others would appear.
No, because "defeating him" doesn't have an effect on the battlefield.
Not enough health points. Needs moar. No boss character should be defeated by a mere board plank.
In terms of defeat, I meant more along the lines of doing direct damage to said Boss (for example attacking the Yellow Devil's eye until he explodes; dealing damage to Master Hand/Crazy Hand, etc.), destroying the wooden platform underneath is not dealing direct damage to the Chimera. Also, I don't imagine most "Boss Characters" can be "defeated" by leading them off-stage/causing them to fall through a broken platform because I imagine their characters are created so as to take damage without exhibiting any sort of flinching or knockback.
他にもボスキャラ系の仕掛けが登場
Well, Bowser WAS shown fighting the Devil before they cut to Ridley...
Or both! Mwaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha!
Anyone who thinks "boss character" is referring to the likes of Bowser, Dedede, Ganondorf, etc. is a fool.
You know, I've been asking for the Japanese text/what Sakurai is originally saying, but no one has bothered to translate for me. Must've been absent or asleep on those days.
I'm not very observant.
I thought that they were synonymous terms as a boss is an inherent hazard to any given stage. I mean; the mechanic is obviously not the same, but I feel as though I will still call "bosses" stage-hazards. I do not feel the innate desire to differentiate them.

Only read 200 pages....it was enjoyable.
No. Don't lurk. That's creepy.
But lurking is fun and definitely not creepy.
Oh, it's not creepy?
It is kind of unsetling to have someone liking your posts from a long time ago, and slowly but steadily approaching the most recent post. Kinda like how you feel a shark follow a trail of blood, and is always getting an inch closer everytime...
not to mention the username (ah so this was you was was liking my old posts... interesting).
