markderoos Posted August 7, 2018 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. Reveal hidden contents 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?
ArtMediocre Posted August 7, 2018 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
Hero-of-Time Posted August 8, 2018 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.

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

Glen-i Posted August 8, 2018 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. On 8/8/2018 at 6:16 AM, Hero-of-Time said: Off the top of my head...

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

Hero-of-Time Posted August 8, 2018 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.

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.

Dufniall Posted August 8, 2018 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
MindFreak Posted August 8, 2018 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

Sméagol Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I was actually speculating that that leak, which I didn't check Reveal hidden contents (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. Reveal hidden contents Loved the trolling DeDeDe in the K.Rool reveal though. Reveal hidden contents Also, fun surprise and nice bit of marketing by getting that Monster Hunter trophy. ff Reveal hidden contents 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
Happenstance Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 I think I can finally just accept that Smash Bros isn't for me. I haven't liked one since Melee so maybe I should just stop trying
Dcubed Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 BTW, Luigi didn't come back to life at the end of that trailer... RIP Luigi: 1983-2018. Gone but not... wait, who was that green guy again? 1
