Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

The Meta-Knight mask was shown way before Meta-Knight himself was confirmed in this game, so...yeah I'm with IceClimbers here.
Speaking of, why can't the Ice Climbers be Wii U/New 3DS only or something? xD

@Megumi: That's because they're saving Ice Climbers for the NX remaster of Smash 4

(Seriously, a Smash 4 remaster for NX would be a good idea even if there's backwards compatibility because if the NX is x86, then Nintendo would have to approach the feature like Microsoft is doing right now, and apparently the 360 games don't run quite as smoothly as they'd like. Then there's also the fact that Smash 5 is probably relegated to swansong status.)

The day before = way before?

H.) They want him in Smash 5.

There was a supposed leak of a Dr Mario stage as well as Great Bay from Melee. However, the Great Bay leak was confirmed fake. The Dr Mario one on the other hand I think is legit until proven otherwise, as we know that there was files for an unfinished Dr Mario stage in the base game, as well as Hanenbow from Brawl.

Guys... the Smash Ballot started on April 1st. It's obviously a several month long April Fools joke and all Ballot winners are to be turned into Mii costumes

The internet sucks when it comes to leaks.

Thinking about the music that could be in Hyrule Castle 64 is making me want to play Wind Waker HD again...

Seriously, Molgera is my favourite temple boss from that game.

@IceClimbers I didn't know about the Great Bay leak, so I looked it up. Unlike that one, the Dr. Mario stage actually looks real.
@NintyMan That is rather nice.

I think the costume is more of a good sign than a bad sign. It shows that they are acknowledging K Rool as a top voted ballot character. So the costume can just be to throw us off while Sakurai is just there laughing (I'm serious) at all those k rool supporters losing hope and k rool haters being happy. Can't wait for k rool to be revealed! Remember Sakurai is a troll

@TheGreatLord You never know when Sakurai is involved...

@TheGreatLord: I could see Sakurai secretly adding Isaac back in as an assist trophy during one of these "stability" updates

@TheGreatLord Fool me once Shame on you Fool me twice Ridley confirmed.

@Gridatttack: Aside from having full Link costumes, not to mention full Inkling costumes and hats for the majority of characters in game, the fact that Wolf isn't considered out of the running juat because Fox has a pallette swap of him and one of his moves and Lucas got in the games when Ness has a pallette swap of him and ALL of his moves means costumes mean nothing. As CapeSmash already pointed out, this could point to quite a few differemt scenarios. At the end of the day, K. Rool is STILL a popular choice and if he's high on the ballot when the ballot closes, there's a really good chance he'll be getting in the game.

It doesn't.

The MK item is just a mask, same with the sheik one. They are just headpieces and they aren't as detailed as the ones they are releasing for the full costume set.

Can't wait to start my own tourney, y'all will enjoy it. lol

@Gridatttack: You're seeing a pattern where there isn't one. Just like people assumed a trophy of a character meant there would be no character and people assumed that a character appearing in the background meant there would be no character and people assumed a character's moves appearing in another character's customs set meant there would be no character and now you're assuming a costume of a character means there will be no character. It's not any less of a leap in logic now than it was the other times we made these assumptions. Even if it IS a legitimate trend, Sakurai is known for breaking trends. Seriously, how many times over the development cycle of this game did we make up a rule based on patterns appearing to exist that Sakurai then immediately knocked down with the next character reveal? How many characters did we assume would get cut due to patterns from Melee to Brawl that managed to return anyways? Patterns don't exist. Sakurai almost makes a conscious effort to crush patterns. If there's anything he hates, it's being predictable. The costumes. Mean. Nothing.

@Megumi: No items, Fox only, Final Destination?

@Gridattack: Meta Knight's mask was shown off before Meta Knight was revealed, leading people to believe that Meta Knight was deconfirmed. No reason to believe the same can't happen here.

...That's just boring. lol

@Megumi: Still, you set up that joke perfectly lol
