To freeman123, I highly doubt it will be out that fast. A game like this would benefit massively for being in development for at least 2 years, and this game didn't even start being made until October 2005. I can very easily see it being Nintendo's big Christmas product for 2007.

In fact, I think if it's released earlier than that, we'll be getting a version the developers wished they had more time with. I can actually easily see it being delayed into 2008 as well.

I can't see a game of this magnitude, even with 100 people working on it, being released in under 2 years.

Though, this game will be a huge flagship title for Nintendo at next year's E3, where it will most likely be playable. And by then, editors should get their hands on some of these secret characters.

No need to thank me, save your energy for changing your sig.
Well how thoughtful! But, as great as it is having a giant rabid Pac-Man devour everything in within eyeshot, J-PEGs are a sin. Well, not really, but I truely dispise them with an unmentionable passion. :) Maybe next time.

PNG or bust! ;)

Wikipedia I can understand. It's a wiki, after all. But Dojo not being seen as a fact site? It's the official site! Why would Smashlabs spread false rumors about thier own game?
Like freeman said, I thought the person was referring to nintendojo.com, a known rumor mill.

I'm sorry, it was quite noob to use J-PEG, I'm so very deeply sorry.

Dudes... blah blah blah
You reminded me of characters that should be in this game before Sonic and Mario: Bad Dudes . Now that, would be unbelievable.

Actually it wouldn't be unbelievable, seeing that they are the most reasonable 3rd party characters to be added, it is only obligatory to add Bad Dudes.

I don't think they should be in either....they're 3rd party
Well, you know that thing going around how Snake was sort of like a "pioneer" and a "breakthrough", practically INVITING other 3rd-party char.s to be in. I'd say it's...by now...a 45% chance that other 3rd-party characters(at least 2 others)will come in.

I'm against Bad Dudes, it just has a cult following for that ****able "ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO RESCUE THE PRESIDENT?". It has that whole "Dan from Street Fighter" thing going for it.

Magar, that counts as spam. Albeit minor spam, but spam nonetheless.

Sakai's in a better place now. The Newgrounds BBS to be exact.

You can (try) to forget about him now.

I was thinking, how can we be certain that the attack Samus used in the trailer was her super move? She wasn't glowing, was she?

I think the second option of this poll should be renamed to "It should be only after the energy blast seen in the trailer is used. (If this is a 'super' move, then items must be on.)" I'd vote for that.

Youre right. That could be just an overexageration of a normal attack.

For transforming the armor can just fall off. Having a certain amount of damage is just stupid

Every character made a special appearance.MK came on a Giant ship,Pit from the heavens,Wario on a motorbike,and Snake from his box.They expressed Samus coming in by an exagerated charge beam.If this is her super,we are all dead.Wasn't her charged B enough?

Where that boomerang came from
It should either be a Zelda/Shiek sort of deal or they should be completely seperate characters (ie: Doc Mario and Mario). If you limit it to a super-move, it could really limit the character. If it's based off a time charge, a damage taken, or a damage dealt meter, then you make it so that Zamus cannot be used until later in your Stock's life. If you make it the item super-smash, then you make it so that with this item turned off (if the super moves are cheap, or whatever), then Zamus is also not a tournament legal character.

Oh well... I have my money on Zamus being a character you really want to use, but can't. Hopefully Nintendo won't disappoint.

Even if it was her super, I don't think that's what changes her. I think she just did that move & then transformed. I bet she just changes like Zelda/Sheik, which means she'll probably lose her bomb recovery.

Look at it this way, if she does change like Zelda/Sheik, & Zamus if half as good as Sheik, & Samus is still as good as she was in Melee, then we'll have two good characters in one. Zelda/Sheik could have been a very unique competitive character if they both would have been good, but Zelda sucked so no one ever used her.

Can you imagine if characters who are good against Samus do poorly against Zamus & vice versa. Then Samus/Zamus will dominate tournaments.

Ew, no. Clone characters based on alternate versions or characters from the same games suck. Two characters of IDENTICAL characters suck more.

No...no...NO! They will have different movesets. They will be different. They aren't going to suck. Well maybe they will suck, but they wont be the same.

Well, seeing that she won't be a clone (according to moveset(and clones aren't so bad anyway)) it wouldn't suck so bad for her to be a seperate character.

I mean, Link and Y.Link are the same person, but they are 2 different characters. [no one say anything about Y.Link having his own games, because both are based after OoT in Melee] So I don't see why ZSamus and Samus can't be seperate characters.

Samus DOES NOT need to change during battle, she's good enough as is.

Think about all the different ways that Samus can transform into ZSamus:
A) Use up a button
B) Semi-controllable/Uncontrollable["certain conditions"]
C) Hold 'A' before battle starts
D) Transform via 'Super'.

A) EVERYONE can agree with me that this is absurd.
B) Anything uncontrollable in a fighting game is gonna be bad.
C) If this is the case, might as well make her a seperate character? Essentially same thing, since you'll be ZSamus for the whole match anyway.
D) Item-Theory: So we lose a character when we turn items off? GENIUS!
NonItem-Theory: I don't think 'Supers' NOT being an item is pretty lame, say hello to our new MvC2 boys! [and girls]

ZSamus as seperate is just simpler and best thing to do. ;)
Yes, Kabyk-Greenmyst, people DO listen to you.

I believe they ARE called Bad Dudes for a reason.
Of course, cause they're so freaking Bad that just thinking of their badness extends your chest and facial hairs. Including women.

Actually, I think it would be pretty cool if you couldn't choose when samus lost her armor and became Zamus. It would really make Samus/Zamus an expert's character because you would have to be able to play both characters.

I used to play Sheik and I never used Zelda. I sucked at Zelda. I thought it was stupid that they were the same character because Sheik was so much better than Zelda.

So long as they make Samus and Zamus relatively equal in power (or Samus slightly more powerful than Zamus), I'm happy.

I believe that Zamus should be a character by herself. I think it would be a waste if she would lose her bomb and a recovery move, don't you?
