Wow, what is happening to those thread?
Also, is it true that more characters are supposed to be announced later during the tournament and QaA?

It's interesting. Miis were pretty much the only characters that I outright didn't want to see appear in the game. Yet, now that I see them in action, they're really frigging cool looking. They passed from an idea I loathed to an idea that I really like. I mean, I'm not entirely satisfied with it, but it does pleases me.

I wonder if Ridley detractors would feel the same if he was confirmed? I mean, now they may abhor the idea, but if excecuted correctly, they may end up liking him when shown in action.

Food for thought.
If Ridley plays well, everyone will like him...hopefully.

I think the Sword and Arm-Gun Miis look sick! The Boxing One...is meh.

Not saying they did, just a little thing I wanted to share.


Unless Mewtwo.
I would be quite disappointed... I don't dislike Mewtwo, but even Pac-Man would be better.

Also, I hated the Miis at first too, but I am appreciating the character now. The concept is pretty cool.

So Ridley wasn't shown and the situation stays the same. It looks like we can continue or little guessing game for a little while longer.
However, as people are playing the Smash demo at E3, more characters are getting disconfirmed. Shadow the Hedgehog and Tingle were spotted as Assist Trophies not too long ago. And there is probably more to come. As long as Ridley isn't spotted as a stage hazard by people playing the demo, I'm not going to stress too much about this.

Do we even know if Pyrosphere is in the demo?
I'll check that, you can see the stage selection in a video.

I'm hoping to see pyrosphere during the tournament
I'm pretty sure its confirmed that Pyrosphere won't be in the tournament, but on the bright side at least he really can't be deconfirmed there. I'm confident that Sakurai will announce him after the tournament as a surprise. If he doesn't well that just means he's saving Ridley for another day.

That means if they don't talk about Ridley later today, we will be in the dark until the next Direct or worse, until the release of the game. :/

When is Eastern Time for those? I can't seem to find out.
They are both pst time so 8:00pm for mst

So I checked, Pyrosphere is not in the demo.
Not sure if good because it stopped my heart attack, or bad because we still don't know his role.
Reeeeally then sakurai is hiding something, about the pyrosphere.

Interesting. I wonder if they will use the same demo for the tournament.

Ugh... not knowing is even worse than a deconfirmation.

It's going to be hard to think straight the next few months if there is no word on Ridley.

Someone better ask Sakurai during the conference lol

Any information on time and viewing links?
I only know that it'll be tonight at 10 P.M. PST (7 hours from now)

The Demo seems a bit barebones to be used for the Tournament.

Hell, you can't even be half of the Smash mainstays.
I think that's done intentionally for balance purposes. There exists different versions of the demos, with different characters even. The 3DS version has Yoshi, Luigi, Sheik and Toon Link playable, but not Rosalina, Zero Suit Samus, Link or Olimar.

Wow. Sure hope nobody was a Peach or Zelda main. :V

I am surprised that we did not get a Ridley confirmation; I suppose in hind-sight it is not unfathomable. However, we are still in the race I guess. I would not be surprised if he was a hidden character at this rate though.

I believe that if we have two more characters (I think we'll only have one more) then one is definitely Pac-Man. The other i think would be between Ridley or Mewtwo.

Come to think about it, that demo can't possibly the demo they'll use for the tournament, because Final Destination isn't included. Wasn't it confirmed that the final match will be played on Final Destination? (Unless they play on the FD-version of one of the stages.)

It's on Battlefield, not FD.

We have more characters still upcoming.. I say Ridley... or mewtwo
Please have in mind that Reggie said characters, and not newcomer. It is possible that we will get just a few veteran reveals, in the end.

And then again, even if were to be true and that yes, Ridley was indeed small because of technical limitations, he still doesn't change the fact that Ridley was that size back then.
It's kind of dumb to use that argument lol. Mario wears overalls and has a moustache because of technical limitations.

Look, I'm pretty confident that Ridley's in the game.

That nagging feeling you have that Ridley's a boss? I have that too, except that it's the fear that Ridley won't be shown at E3.

If he isn't, THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S NOT PLAYABLE. I DON'T want to have to pull out my size charts again to prove that Ridley is too incompetent and small to be a friggin boss again.
