There's a rumor that Super Smash Bros 4 is getting a release date on a Nintendo Direct in January.
It's a rumor so I just let it be a rumor and don't post any links to that. A few gaming websites mentioned it though.
Source to rumor?

Even if this rumor turns out to be true and Nintendo does give it an actual release date I still won't believe it, given how delay-happy Sakurai is known to be.

At last we would have some hint when we can expect the game at the earliest . ^^
I hate it when someone leave me in the dark. lol
@cookie - Well, Brawl's development time certainly felt really longer than that... but if what you say is true, then Smash Bros. U/3DS releasing next year wouldn't be as unlikely as I thought. Smash Bros. U/3DS has been in development since Kid Icarus: Uprising was released; meaning it has been a good 20 months since.
Partly because when Iwata first talked about Brawl in 2005, it came out of thin air. Sakurai didn't even know another Smash Bros. game was in the pipeline, and nobody else had been attached to do it. Nothing had been made of the game when people started hyping it up.
Let's hope the Melee fans don't mindlessly hate this one for not having complicated universal techs. Pff. L-cancelling. What were you thinking, Sakurai?

This! At the risk of sounding ignorant or stupid, I don't like the complicated tech 'skills' that weren't originally implemented in the game, like L-cancelling. Melee techs end up making things too fast-paced for my liking. I'd rather be able to keep track of what's happening.

Just like Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U!
I thought the story was that Iwata asked him which system he wanted to put the next Smash Bros. on, and he said that he liked the features of both platforms, so both. And then Iwata announced at E3 that Sakurai was considering it, and then Sakurai stated that development wouldn't start until Kid Icarus: Uprising's completion.
Ya. If you guys don't remember, there was even an article here on NL that said they considered a DS version of the game. I honestly thought that sort of thing would happen back then, too.

I totally agree as well. Things like tripping and a horrendously unbalanced roster would be nice things to fix, but reincorporating things like L-canceling, limited roster, useless clones (Pichu...), and ridiculous drop speeds seems like bad ideas.
Pic of the day: "Dismantle! Unite!! Yellow Devil!!!"
Yellow Devil was shown in the trailer at E3 and caused confusion if he's a stage hazard, boss or something else. To me it seems like he's a boss since he takes so big part of the stage and there are only two players battling.
@Late - I don't know, I still think Yellow Devil's more of a stage hazard. There have been big hazards in Smash Bros before. Also, that rumour that the game could be released in Spring 2014 was shot down by Nintendo. ...Which I'm actually OK with, because of all games; Smash Bros should not be rushed.

@DreamyViridi: There is still a big chance that Yellow Devil's a stage hazard but I think I'd have hard time dodging the Yellow Devil + 3 players if there were 4 players battling. It's also kinda in a way because if one punches/kicks another to the side they'd almost certainly bump into Yellow Devil. Yellow Devil is also really close to ledge so if someone would get knocked behind him they'd have hard time getting back to the center. Though if you take damage only by touching those spheres he turns into when switching the side I wouldn't see those problems but I think it'd be kind of odd. These are my reasons to think that he'd be more likely a boss but I won't exclude the possibility that he's just a stage hazard.
It's its, not it's.

@Late - Very valid points, he is taking up a lot of the stage space. There might be some space to the right but it's hard to tell from the pic. But hey, maybe you're right and some stages have their own separate boss fights in Single-Player or something like that. It'd make up for the apparent lack of SSE-style adventure mode.

Why do people have make it sound like you need to be gifted to play Melee, or have god like reflexes? I've been playing Project: M and it's not hard at all. It just took some practicing and I could do wavedash easily and L-cancel is pretty much burned into my brain, haha. It doesn't make the game 10x's faster, it's what you do out of the techniques that can make it fast-paced. Wavedash is best used in place of dodge roll because it's faster than a roll, and you can attack or jump out of it. There's more than just wavedash and L-cancel though, you also have Crouch Canceling, Directional Influence, and Tech Roll. I won't go into detail about those though, but the only one that would be hard is DI if you try to DI every single hit, that requires pretty god like reflexes, but I just DI grabs is all.
If you don't wanna play a character who you need godlike tech skill, DON'T PLAY FOX, or any spacey for that matter. (Spacey = Space animals(?), which is Fox and Falco) Play someone easy like Peach, Marth, or Link for that matter. Guys, really, you don't have to play like Mew2King or Mango to enjoy Melee gameplay. (In other words, top players)
I'm not one of those to hate on Smash 4 or Brawl, though, I just don't like when everyone exaggerates how hard it is to play Melee.
