You know, I hope we get that "classic trophy" thing again from melee, the one you get when you beat All-Star-Mode.
 
i hope we just get a pic of Mr. Saturns and Jeff
more fuel for the fire
 
It's a reference to Five Nights at Freddy's where one of the robots trying to murder you runs down the hallway just like what Fox is doing. That'll only leave you a few seconds to close to door before he reaches you.

I just looked it up. Crying. Please hold me.

Please make me feel better. With a Ness reveal.

Have fun sleeping, lol.
 
I actually really hope we get Ness on Friday
Why?
Because then we'll KNOW if that leak is fake
Just gotta count the number of stripes!

Nah. I am sincerely expecting Shulk by the end of the month though. If he (or some other newcomer) is not revealed by September then I'll be expecting a Smash direct in early September with a huge information blow-out.

A Ninten costume for Ness is highly likely to be honest.

Better idea:
Shulk reveal
render is different from the leak
but then ALSO reveal Kumatora
happiness for everybody!

At this point, literally anything focused on EarthBound other than the already known Mr. Saturn and the Franklin Badge would be magical.
 
Real talk, a newcomer trailer focused on Earthbound would be fucking radical
Blue blue blue blue blue!~
 
Unmasked_Meta_knight.png
Meta Knight is a very deep blue, while this Kirby color looks like more of a dark purple/black. I mean, I highly doubt Bomb Boos are the inspiration for this color, but they look pretty damn close to one another. Of course it could be an unmasked meta knight and the screenshot is just really shitty quality and way too dark. Though if it is, that raises the question as to why Kirby has an unmasked Meta color instead of Meta Knight having a maskless alt.
The translations say that the color is based off a maskless metaknight.

Watch it be precisely the same pose and such, only he has an extra stripe on the bottom to show his shirt being tucked.
 
No, Jutsei, I'm tellin' ya.

Wednesday.

Wednessday is NESSday.
 
Not this one.

EarthBound's 20th anniversary is Wednesday, and MK's CHALLENGER APPROACHING banner is gone.

It can only be Ness.

I would be very pleased with him announcing a Kumatora/Masked Man assist trophy on Wednesday. I mean, they'd be AWESOME playable characters but I'm not expecting anything more than assist trophies. Did Mother 3 even have a single AT in Brawl?
 
Good grief... A whole page of this guy overanalyzing... Talk about annoying...

Also Jeff's an AT already.
 
Marth's does that too? If you break someone's shield with shield breaker... they go into dizzy state... did you know that? Please tell me you knew that...
I meant without it having to break a shield, just by attacking.

And of course I knew that.

edit: removed the patronize part. That was me being a grump.

*pats head* It's okay, big brother is here.
 
So I guess it's interesting to note that the new Mario Kart arcade game (also done by Namco and Nintendo collaborating) is the first with alt costumes, most of which are also present in Smash (at least for playable characters)

Now, the interesting one comes for Bowser.

Could this mean that, in Namco Bandai's eyes, Bowser = Dry Bowser and it doesn't break the whole "no costumes referencing other characters" thing, possibly hinting at it being an official alt in Smash 4 maaaaybe?

A well designed Dry Bowser alt sounds amazing, especially now with Bowser being so viable to use.
 
Dry Bowser was so cool in Mario Kart Wii...
 
Dry Bowser was in MKWii? I only remember Funky Kong.
 
He was an unlockable, too. He was playable.
 
Wait,
are Bowser and Dry Bowser not the same character or something?

No, they're the same. It's a little like Mario and Metal Mario.

Only 10000 times cooler
 
why does bowser lose his mane and gain a ponytail when he takes a lava bath

that's silly
