What is Sakurai up to?

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

meowth and little mac back to back?

could it be that, with the demo being examined so thuroughly, Sakurai is more interested in deconfirming things than confirming them?

why is this?

 

[Fastinyoh]

What the hell.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

What the hell.

I mean, it seems like there's a big run of speculation deconfirmation going on lately

 

[Bli33ard]

There's going to be A LOT of videos on YouTube now - and someone will steal the demo somehow.

*crosses fingers that a demo will be released on the Wii shop channel*

It matters your definition of deconfirm...

He is confirming them as items...

Also we already knew Lil' Mac was "deconfirmed"

 

[vesperview]

He is confirming them whether you like the outcome or not is another thing.

 

[Shuma]

Perhaps he has started to deconfirm all the "top whanted characters" that whont make it in as PC?

 

[vesperview]

Sukapon or Takamaru are probably next.

 

[Shuma]

As long as no one in my sig is deconfirmed i'm happy, actually as long as Ridley is not deconfirmed i'm happy.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

yeah... I can really see a sukapon AT.... since 2 of my 3 fav.s (toad and Lyn) are both axed, Krystal is my only hope, so come on and please don't AT her sakurai

 

[vesperview]

As long as no one in my sig is deconfirmed I'm happy, I just have doubts with Ness and Midna, oh and PacMan.

 

[Shuma]

Doubts with Ness and MIdna... instead of K. Rool and Pac-man? weird....

I added Pacman but I think DK needs his bad guy and these Mother 3 updates don't make it look good for Ness and maybe I shouldn't doubt Midna.

I'm seeing today as the beginning of what everyone's been expecting since the conference last week - the confirmation of material revealed in the demos last week (which has taken surprisingly long, with the Meowth and New Pork City Updates over the more anticipated Gardevoir and Norfair ones). There's no way to predict his update schedule, asides from the obvious of him not doing more than 1 or 2 in any one category.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

unfortunately, confirming what we already know will just prove to bore us as we will learn nothing new from dojo for weeks

 

[Shuma]

Well i personaly would love to have K.rool as playable, and Ness... not really, since that would deconfirm Claus, and Claus is like Nintendo's mini Darth Vader.

Yeah I'm 50/50 with Ness right now, if a cool Mother 3 character made it (Kumatora or Claus) I wouldn't mind his deconfirmation, but if we are only gonna have Lucas then they should add Ness.

Ah, dont you worry, Krystal is in and we just dont know it yet. Im that confident on it. Somehow I find myself wanting that Sukapon in since it looks like it would play very differently than other characters...

Notice how Sakurai now seems to want to add in characters that add variety and flavor to the game? Zero Suit Samus mechanic, Wario's crude humor, Pokemon Trainer 3 in 1, Snake's non physical smashes, Sonic's all-speed, and such? Its not all just pick popular character and whip up a moveset - Assist Trophies and the Pokeball selections as far are proof of that.

 

[Shuma]

Ridley would play diferent... right? RIGHT!?

And then there's Ike, Pit, Meta Knight, Diddy Kong, and Lucas, all playable characters who were oft-predicted and seem to work just as any character has and one would think they should(Sure, Pit/Meta Knight fly).

 

[J-Rum]

I wish he'd announce another HUGE announcement, like with Snake.

I'd like to be shocked again, not bored, like with Meowth, and whoever Little Mac is.

 

[Chepe]

Im sure he could. A lighter yet taller character with heavyweight tendencies, such as being slower perhaps, or having laggy yet powerful moves, and all that jazz. I can see it working that way. It all depends on what Sakurai thinks...

Sounds like Mewtwo... AKA a recipe for suck. Hopefully Ridley will be fast and not floaty.

why is this?

The game's release date is now set at Feb. 10, 2008.
Sakurai has to stretch the updates an extra two months somehow, right?

 

[crotch protector]

nothing less than world domination.

 

[MegatronPwnsYou]

Gardevior update tomorrow.

I think Ridley would be light, very light. Since you'd need a light body to be able to fly, Ridley wouldn't be really heavy. My bet on his weight is 2/5. He'd be swift, light and powerful, which is a recipe for God tier!

Also as long as Simon is in as a PC and not an AT, I'm happy! If he doesn't make it in at all, then I'm ok with it but if some other stupid 3rd party char took his place I'll fly to Japan with Captain Falcon and tell him to FALCON PUUNCH Sakurai until he replaces the other 3rd party with Simon and also adds Mega Man.

Didn't you read the Sonic update or something? It will probably take some time before he makes another huge update. And I was shocked with the news of Meowth, I really hoped he would be a PC.
