that shouldn't happen

so many good stages to be made from older games in series like FE

Every smash takes most(note:not all) of it's references whether in stages, characters, music, or whatever, from the previous console generation. Whether you like it or not, most stuff in this Smash is going to reference Wii, later DS, and 3DS games.
 
We better get a wealth of new characters in October, given we get WW HD and Pokemon then

Sonic Lost Worlds too then. Unless SEGA and Nintendo are unable to work things out for Sonic to return. (He'd better. You'd think being the most requested character for the last game would give Sakurai the message to bring him back)

Not ALWAYS. Sometimes Sakurai will make an exception if the series in question hasn't had a recent title lately or if it's significant to a certain character in the roster. Remember, Brawl had the Battleship Halberd for it's Kirby stage partially due to Meta Knight being a newcomer. Or he'll make stages that just reference elements from the franchise in general like in Brawl, again, how the Castle Siege was the Fire Emblem stage even though it didn't represent a particular location. (FE experts are free to disprove this)

Plus there's that whole rule he's making for the two versions where the handheld version get's stages based off of handheld games while the console version gets stages based off of console games. He's obviously going to make an exception in some areas for that given that Olimar is back but Pikmin has never been on a handheld and already has a stage for the console version.

Yeah, basically.
We might get something from TGS next week, but I honestly doubt that

Alrighty then! 4 Mario Characters that we already pretty much knew were gonna be in are confirmed. Now to just get yoshi on board we'll be great.

What about Wario?
 
Wario is a Wario character. He's got his own set of games and shit. He doesn't need Mario to be popular. Same with Yoshi, only Yoshi isn't an asshole.
 
man, and I thought they would have seen how screwed up was luigi's reveal and now they do it again with another obvious character, what's next? Yoshi?

give us a newcomer already! even if it's an obvious one like Chrom (I mean Regna Ferox stage is enough hint)
 
But honestly... We're all going to buy the freaking game whether or not they reveal a newcomer in 5 months. Anyone who's going to give a damn about checking the official site, is going to buy the damn game XD

"UGH! These characters are all ones I know! I'm not buying this now" That's ridiculous.
 
Hmmm... Peach
Well out of all my mains at least I have Olimar at least D:
Just waiting on a Diddy or Dixie reveal
Or even a Toon Link reveal? Cmmon I need at least some variety to pick from mains

We'll probably get a LoZ (WW even maybe) reveal when Wind Waker HD comes out

What if your "mains" are changed radically and no longer are the kind of play style you expect :O

Though Peach still has her crown as an attack so there's literally no change in her playstyle...
 
Well WW would be nice I guess but with this new style of HD smash, I would honestly prefer to have some Skyward sword Zelda in there :D

Even if they radically changed a main, I play characters for playstyle and not so much based on specific moves or set ups I guess?
But I doubt they'd change anyone like that considering most Veterans are all the same over the years
 
I agree that we need SS Zelda. That would be awesome.

But yeah, I play a character for sentimental value. I absolutely adored Starfox as a kid, so I always put the space animals in my play category. Same with Mario by himself. Not a fan of any of the others. Mario's awesome in being the most balanced character ever.
 
There's a high probability that we could see both SS and WW characters. And I can't imagine much influence from Link Between besides colours. Maybe that hammer...
 
Did it ever occur to anyone that we might see a Pokemon character in October due to X & Y being released? My bet's on either a new revamped Pokemon Trainer or Mewtwo. (Seriously, I want my Mega Mewtwo vs. Mega Lucario event match)

I'm sorry but we've been talking about that for a while... It only just occurred to you...

Here's hoping for Mewtwo! PLEASE Sakurai do NOT blow this opportunity with JIGGLYPUFF. We ALL know she's got a shoe-in, just give us Mewtwo!

Now there's two Mega Mewtwos, though.

I wonder which they would pick?
 
there's mega man on it, and better treated than anything capcom made in the last 5 years.

i'm sold

and i'll buy it twice if they give our blue bomber a Beck costume (DLC or not)

Peach - "Whose ******* year is it again?!"

Luigi - "Go, Weegee! Go, Weegee! Go, Weegee!"

I forgot, I need to rehost the images before posting them, otherwise it changes to the new one. Oops.

Anyway, 3DS Olimar had me confused for a moment. The picture still had the Wii U tag on it, so I thought maybe that version had adjustable black outlines too.
 
can we have Masked Man and Thunder Tower stage, can we also forget New Pork City was a stage?
 
it could be New Pork City
