Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

@TomJ Well, I know that @UGXWolf already explained that the lack of moves that make a reference to the main series is irrelevant, but if you are still looking for a Professor Layton moveset complete with a Final Smash and specials, here you go:

@Mario90125 I assumed so. Just giving confirmation that it's fake.

Hey guys. What did I miss?

Just kidding, everything is crazy with work, but thought I'd pop in since I'm hyped for PAX news.

And Shovel Knight? Who knows? Could happen.

There's one thing about how people have reacted to the rumor that's really annoying me: They're mad at the possibility of Shovel Knight getting in instead of a Nintendo character. Uh...guys? You know there's going to be more than one character coming out of the ballot, right? IF Shovel Knight gets in, that doesn't mean we can't also get K Rool and Isaac. Now, if you're upset over the possibility of Shovel Knight getting in over someone more iconic like Bomberman, then that's a different story.

I don't know how I feel about it. We still don't have a Shovel Knight game released here in Japan so I can't really gauge its impact or relationship to Nintendo in the west.

@Tsuchinoko: It's a good game. I'd recommend giving it a try when it gets there. Any who, here's how I feel about the rumor: The only problem I'd have with him is that he isn't as iconic a guest character as the ones we've already got, and characters like Bomberman or Rayman I feel deserve to be in just a little bit more. Other than that...yeah! I'd be all for it!

@NintyMan: Now THAT art I can believe! Whether it's a mock up or the actual product, that looks really good.

You know what? I'm okay with that i will buy that if it does come.

Looks more believable...would say it's fake, but I just woke up and didn't notice that the Amiibo is for Shovel Knight the game, and not Smash. xD
Wonder if we'll get other characters or even bosses.

Oh my God, I need that! I demand that they accept my money for it!

Oh my God...this is someone's reaction to the amiibo. Grab some popcorn, folks:

"i give up.... shovel knight should not be in smash .. i give up..... you kids and your indie games ruined everything.... iwata was right both the indie scene and the mobile gaming market would devalue video games....... gg video games are DEAD ......

enjoy your shovel knight in smash...

a slot in smash bros is holy ....(should i say was)

only characters with a long history in the gaming space and a long history with nintendo should be in smash.....

just really shovel knight got in over ray man & shantae????..... the end is near

you know what lets bring in all the video game character to smash the flood gates are open now just like the usa border let them all in right??? who cares at this point.... the country is already falling apart........

shovel knight is an illegal immigrant

lets have all kingdomhearts characters join smash as well...
and lets have crash bandicoot too ....."
First of all, this doesn't mean he'll be in Smash. Second, oh, boo-hoo! Let me play you a sad song on the world's smallest violin!

This bit needs to be emphasized. Nintendo news does not always equal Smash Bros. news. Chill.

I just don't see Shovel Knight in Smash Bros. It means that any character could be in Smash with ease.

Which means Ninja Turtles should be in Smash Bros.

I've seen people claim that this amiibo confirms Shovel Knight for Smash, and I've seen people claim that it deconfirms him. In actuality, it does neither. This Shovel Knight amiibo has nothing to do with Smash Bros. Simple as that. 3rd parties have always had access to amiibo. Interesting though that the first fully 3rd party amiibo is from an indie developer (Pac-Man, Mega Man, and Sonic are Smash amiibo, while the Skylanders amiibo are of Nintendo characters, so Nintendo is actively involved in both past owning the amiibo branding and therefore they do not count).

I rather have TMNT in Smash Bros than Shovel Knight any day.

Why not both? (or all 5, I guess)

They can be all alts similar to Bowser Jr and the kooplaings.

I wonder if that would be possible with all their different weapons. Maybe have different animations with the same hit boxes? I could see two skins for each Turtle and then with 4 turtles that would be 8 skins, but not sure how that would work with their different weapons and fighting styles. But Turtles aren't going to happen so it doesn't really matter lol
