Posted August 7, 2018 I would love more retro characters joining the roster, but with each generation it’s getting harder to think of characters that fit that bill. Spoiler Sukapon and Takumaru have joined as Assist Trophies and then they’re both also a lot more obscure than R.O.B., Duck Hunt Duo, Mr. Game & Watch or Ice Climbers. So let’s say we’re getting even more Retro fighters than last few times, who could possible join? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2018 Speaking of trophies, how big do you imagine the trophy collection will be this time around? Last time I made an effort of trying to "collect 'em all" was with Melee where I had like 98% total. After that there's just been too many :P. I really like the detail each trophy is given though, and the little bit of info they come with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 8, 2018 Just a heads up to everyone that the Smash Bros website have seemingly leaked a new character. Hopefully it will be getting shown today in the Direct but until then I would be careful what sites you go on if you don't want it spoiled for you. 9 hours ago, markderoos said: So let’s say we’re getting even more Retro fighters than last few times, who could possible join? Off the top of my head... I think Punch-Out could do with some more representation. King Hippo for Smash! The guy from Urban Champion would be hilarious as a fighter in the game Stanley from Donkey Kong 3 One of the crazy characters from Pilotwings 64 Wart 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Gotta say it's an interesting strategy to leak stuff yourself before someone else does it... Thanks for the heads up there, @Hero-of-Time Guess I'm not going on any other site for around 8 hours now. 14 minutes ago, Hero-of-Time said: Off the top of my head... The guy from Urban Champion would be hilarious as a fighter in the game I don't know where I saw it, but someone, somewhere had the idea of Urban Champion using a moveset that consists solely of him fighting his opponent from the game. You'd do damage by getting other players caught in the middle of that ruckus. It's pretty inspired. @ArtMediocre in regards to your trophy question... Well, the tagline is "Everyone is here" So yeah, about 1,500 sounds right. Totally reasonable. Edited August 8, 2018 by Glen-i 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 8, 2018 Anyone have idea how long the Direct is? I'm debating whether to stay back at work and watch it live or just head home and play catch up when I get in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll probably just leave at normal time then. I can't be bothered with hanging around for half an hour and then having to deal with the extra traffic. I'll just watch it when I get home.

Posted August 8, 2018 Yeah I hope I can sneakily put it on at work too, shouldn't be a problem as it is not too busy. I wonder what they'll show, small hype! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) 28 minutes? That's longer than the time they spent on it at the E3 Direct... Surely it's shorter than that? Edited August 8, 2018 by MindFreak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I was actually speculating that that leak, which I didn't check Spoiler (was it Belmont?), was actually an intentional red herring of some sorts.. Correct in itself, but used as a mask to hide the 2nd reveal. I didn't post it because.. Well you know. There was a big chance of being wrong. Spoiler Loved the trolling DeDeDe in the K.Rool reveal though. Spoiler Also, fun surprise and nice bit of marketing by getting that Monster Hunter trophy. ff Spoiler I also fully expect matches with Majora's Moon as the only item to be the next big thing. Edit: But still nothing about the online! WEIRD. New Smash Online Direct next month I guess. Edited August 8, 2018 by Sméagol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
