Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

(Shirt says "Sakurai")

What if, only Cloud and Midgar stage get released tomorrow and we have to wait to the half of 2016 to get the other characters? :v

I just thought of something. Do Ivysaur or Squirtle appear in the Kalos Elite Four stage? I don't remember.

If one or both of them do, could the update to the stage be to remove them because, maybe, one or both of them (probably one) might be returning as a veteran fighter?

Everything that's in the update:

CHARACTERS:
Cloud

STAGES:
Midgar
(Kalos Pokemon League stage has been updated, in what way we don't know)

MUSIC:
The battle theme from FF7 (Midgar)
The boss battle theme from FF7 (Midgar)
...that's it.

Mii COSTUMES:
Chocobo hat
Geno hat

That seems to be it so far.

@TeeJay They aren't on the stage.

@CapeSmash: Dang. Thought I was on to something.

The update is incomplete?

@Gridatttack: I don't think Cloud is releasing solo. There's more coming with him the way they're hyping this up, but I'll be fine with any reasonable release schedule.

Cloud's alts and colors: http://imgur.com/a/QMURr

SPOILERS: they look like trash. lol

EDIT: My problem is that the colors aren't distinctive enough. I'm not really a fan of the lighty tinted colors. On another note, why are people saying these colors are better than Sonic's? In fact, what's wrong with Sonic's to begin with? At least the color of his "fur" look pretty distinguishable from his default look. Yeah, it's tinted, but they gave his shoes distinctive vibrant colors, and different bracelets for each alt. So it sticks out more. Pac-Man on the other hand...

They could've gone with so many interesting colors...

Wow, those alt sucks, kinda like sonic in brawl :/

I definitely don't think this is all we're getting today, I mean what's the point in even having the Direct today if it is everything. It could've been put into 2016 normal Directs instead if the case. Still going with my pre-E3 Direct quantity of content guess.

I didn't comment on this yesterday but I found it funny how many apparent leakers there were yesterday.

It would of been nice for some DLC alt colors, probably would of worked best with Cloud's alt : P butt at least it's not like Mac with two hoodie colors only.

No black hairs?I wanted to buy a Cloud amiibo and call it Zack.
The other AC costume with the red ribbon makes up for it tought

I'm actually OK with Cloud's colour alts except for the last two, which look a bit too samey as the default to me. I bet some people were hoping for a crossdressing alt. I still kinda hope for some DLC alts for existing characters myself...

If there aren't anymore characters in the file then that could mean that they aren't done yet or just won't release right after direct. After all it hasn't been more than two months since the ballot so it may take a while... The characters could be announced during the direct just not done with development yet.

@NintyMan: You really think DLC will last that long? I've set expectations that either today or sometime in February/March before NX is announced will be the last DLC release.

@NintyMan: I think he could've worked on a few characters in parallel that the team thought people might want in smash.

Advent Children/Default it is, then.

Kinda was hoping the alts would look better, but oh well.

Gonna use this Smash bingo for the direct. I'll go back afterwards and mark what was right and what was wrong.

Reggie should be the free space.
