It seems that playing defensively gets you punished easier, what with using rolls too often making them less effective.

I'm implying it's Sony that's doing the "Protecting" You remember the reasoning for why Sony weren't getting in on the cross play?

Man, Ivysaur is so much more nimble now! I like it. Charizard wasn't used because he's easily the worst. Seems the door in N64 Saffron City isn't done yet.

Man, the Fake Smash Ball is just super hilarious. Can picture some choice moments getting recorded there. The Launch Star is pretty trolly too!

Damn, that Kaz Hirai tweet is brutal, but deserved. Still, gotta protect those children, huh?

Now that the direct has been shown, here are the characters you can use on Thursday. Mario Luigi Peach Bowser Bowser Jr. Larry Morton Wendy Ludwig Lemmy Roy Iggy Rosalina Daisy Inkling Boy Inkling Girl Link Villager Donkey Kong Wario Waluigi Mii Dry Bones Toad Yoshi Damnit, Sakurai...

Well... Remember, stages are only used in a Tie Break situation when the game is out.

So I trawled through all of the Screenshots and noticed a few other tweaks for old characters. Not major things, but there was a biggie. Little Mac no longer becomes helpless after using Side B! Also, Greninja got nerfed again. His shadow Sneak is easier to spot now. Here's an interesting screenshot though. My guess would be a Gold Flower item from NSMB 2 Nothing new here, just Snake being Snake. And I didn't see if Robin's Final Smash changed, but I still think Chrom's chances are summed up best with... I'm so hoping for new Codec calls and Palutena's Guidances. Anyway, the invitational has started now. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a "One more thing" afterwards.

MORE AMIIBO! WOOOOOO!

Octo Expansion is available tomorrow! EDIT: I hate you @Sméagol

BUGGER! Sorry. Will correct that. Yep, until it gets released, this will be ongoing, so it's not over yet. But I'm not gonna accept any new entries or editing of previous predictions. Edit your post now and you'll get minus 100 points.

Now you know how I felt with BOTW. Feel my pain! There's still some small little reveals. Like Alolan Raichu, Abra and Badge Arcade Bunny being Assist Trophies.

Yeah, that's not Smash. I'm pretty sure another game uses it.

OK then! Let's go down the new Playable Characters! Daisy correctly predicted by: Nobody! Ice Climbers Correctly predicted by: @Glen-i @markderoos, @Jonnas @Ugh first aid @GenericAperson @Nintendo Fan @Fused King @Dcubed @Julius Caesar @S.C.G Pichu correctly predicted by: Not a single bloody person! Young Link predicted by: Everyone, no wait... No-one. Yeah, no-one. Squirtle correctly predicted by: Nope, we all suck Ivysaur correctly predicted by: All the people who predicted Squirtle. Wolf correctly predicted by: @Glen-i @markderoos @Ugh first aid @Nintendo Fan @Fused King @Dcubed @S.C.G @Julius Caesar Snake correctly predicted by: @markderoos Ridley correctly predicted by: @Fused King @Vileplume2000 Now it's time for the avenue of crushed dreams. The characters we now know are not playable. Minus points for these losers! Waluigi @bob @RedShell @Julius Caesar Lyn @Jonnas @Ugh first aid @Julius Caesar Takamaru @Jonnas Bomberman @Glen-i @Nintendo Fan @Fused King @Dcubed @Julius Caesar @S.C.G Alolan Raichu @Vileplume2000 Yeah, no-one expected the no cuts. It's beautiful! With the returning Veterans, we're at 9 characters revealed now. Alolan Raichu was just shown as a Pokeball item Pokemon during treehouse. Sorry. Pichu is more important. Bomberman totally killed in the disappointment there. 6 people getting screwed in the points department there. I'm gonna look through the screenshots of the websites to see if I can spot any other dreams to stamp on. And here's how the points are tallied up. @markderoos: 3 points @Fused King: 2 points @Glen-i @Ugh first aid@GenericAperson@Nintendo Fan@[email protected]: 1 point @Vileplume2000@Nicktendo@EEVILMURRAY@Mandalore: 0 points @Jonnas@bob@RedShell@Julius Caesar: -1 point

A mod probably needs to get rid of this thread. I love Smash Bros. But two threads is a bit much. @Ashley

BLATANT LIES!

It looks fine, but God. Everything about it just makes me sad. Those battle backgrounds look really ugly though. EDIT: OK, Pikachu Itemfinder is neat. But oh man, Viridian Forest is SO boring now.

Wow, Pokémon, Let's Go. Way to ruin the Smash Hype immediately. Man, it's just depressing.

It's everything I always dreamed of! I'm so bloody happy! EDIT: David Hayter confirmed to be the Snake voice! He just tweeted about it.

Yes, they did. It was name dropped in the Press Release.

I'm so digging the hyper menu. Way too over the top.

We don't count.

That's literally what they did with Breath of the Wild and no-one complained then.

Pichu was my main in Melee. There's always someone who wants a character you don't.

I told you, you are NOT my dad! Stop telling me what to do!
