Link for the most part is based off his TP version. I was a bit disappointed since I wanted to see how that style would be rendered in 3D but it seems they want the version of Link and what he does to match and I’m guessing they didn’t want to try putting in a Link without a boomerang. Could have been interesting to see what they came up with though.

oh and nobody posted up the picture from friday

new shot of Samus is up. I was kinda hoping they wouldn’t go with her Other M design but I suppose it was inevitable. Still looks pretty good.

442

I actually really like the Other M design. It was the story/controls in that game that made me sad to be a Metroid fan. Still, if it means Samus isn’t as clunky I’m definitely a fan.

I think replacing the Boomerang with the Beetle Bomber would have been awesome. It could have functioned similar to Snake’s Remote Missile.

443

New pic is up. Appears to be the new Battlefield stage.

444

3DS version of Battlefield looks pretty good

As long as the initial roster is a decent size, I wouldn’t really mind buying some more characters. It’d be pretty cool if Nintendo did something like Skullgirls is doing, just the voting aspect of it.

447

I’m betting that Impa will inherit/replace Shiek and Zelda’s getting a shakeup.

448

I’m not sure about that, but it would be great if Impa was playable. I think we can all agree that a few characters are gonna be sacrificed, it’s just a matter of who.

449

Diddy is staying
Luigi is staying
I HOPE Lucas stays

Oh, and the way to balance zelda is the project m zelda where she controls the stage if you let her go off basically.

I’m fine with DLC characters so long as it’s something done AFTERWARDS and not something that was cut out of main game for extra money. Since Sakurai already said that if they were to do it that’s how they plan to do it then I’m happy. Extra stages and extra characters…they will have my money.

451

Here’s my thoughts on each veteran.

Over 70% (Character is very likely to return)
Diddy Kong: 90%
Falco: 75%
Ice Climbers: 85%
King Dedede: 90%
Luigi: 100%
Marth: 80%
Metaknight: 85%
Ness: 80%
Olimar: 85%
Peach: 90%
Wario: 85%
Yoshi: 100%
Zelda: 80%
Zero Suit Samus: 75%

30%-70% (Could go either way)
Captain Falcon: 65%
Ganondorf: 30%
Ike: 45%
Jigglypuff: 60%
Lucario: 30%
Lucas: 50%
Mewtwo: 40%
Pokemon Trainer: 45%
Snake: 40%
Sonic: 45%
Toon Link: 50%
Wolf: 50%

Under 30% (Chances of coming back are very low)
Dr. Mario: 5%
Game & Watch: 25%
Pichu: 5%
R.O.B.: 25%
Roy: 15%
Young Link: 10%

Anything above 70 means I’m confident they’re coming back and anything below 30 means I’m pretty sure they won’t. Everything in between I just can’t say outside of a guess.

452

NO.

453

Sakurai already said there would be less third-party characters this time around. I wonder if that means Snake/Sonic won’t be returning.

454

My general predictions:

Anyone who was in the first Smash game is guaranteed a spot.

Any non-clone characters who have an upcoming Wii U/3DS game is a lock. Diddy is in. Sonic is in. Snake is out.

Clone characters are out.

Olimar will be replaced by one of the new protagonists from Pikmin 3.

Character Predictions (based on a combination of whether they had/have a game coming and my “gut feeling”):

Little Mac
His last game was Punch Out Wii, so he’s got the best shot out of everyone in my list. I’ve seen some people say that he’s a lock because of that ring stage, but I don’t think that’s a Punch Out stage specifically since the Smash logo is plastered on the mat.

Lloyd Irving
If any Namco character’s going to be in Smash, it’s this guy. He fits the requirements to be in a Smash game, he has a workable moveset, and I’m pretty sure Namco will have a character be immortalized in a Smash game since they’re working on it. Plus, the Tales of Symphonia pack is coming (though not for Wii U, ironically). Smash games can be useful marketing tools.

Mike Jones
This one is a long shot, but Smash games are known to have unexpected inclusions. We all know that Star Tropics is one of the most dormant series that Nintendo has. Making a moveset based on a yo-yo should be easy to do, not to mention the other weapons available to him. And let’s not forget this great fake image:

Fawful
There hasn’t been a Mario & Luigi (RPG series) character in a Smash game yet, so this guy would be perfect. There isn’t anyone else as memorable as him, and there’s no doubt he will be in the upcoming M&L game.

As for stages, I would like to see a Pushmo stage. Just take a look at the game and try to tell me you can’t see how its levels could work as a stage.

455

Prior to the reveal of Villager, I would have given GW at least a 60% chance of getting in, probably more. However, I feel that everything we’ve seen so far about Villager is analogous to GW. (i.e. Pocket is basically Bucket; Balloon Fight will likely be similar to Parachute, etc.). I should probably give GW the benefit of the doubt and bump him up to 30 or 35, but I honestly don’t like his chances at this point.
Also, keep in mind it is not my list of who I WANT to get in, just who I think is likely at this point in time.

456

Wait, why are you saying this as if your made up percentages matter?

458

I really don’t see why they did, Other M wasn’t liked by fans or critics, no idea how it sold though.

459

They don’t. At all. I was simply defending why I put GW so low on my guess list.

I have my fingers crossed from Isaac from golden sun with a Ragnarok/Oddesy final smash.
