Retro_Link Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I am going to conclude that these clouds, do in fact depict the most evil of characters in the Nintendo franchises (especially the Bowser cloud), that are acting as minions of Masterhand whereby he has spared them being lifeless trophies, for his smash world domination purposes and makes them conduct his evil activities and essentially act as supervisors to ensure the "RULES" are not being breached. These supervisors, being Bowser, Ridley, Ganondorf/Ganon and maybe even Star Wolf are symbolically featured in the clouds to depict the fact that Masterhand has absorbed their powers to form a super power that is used to rule the world. You will obviously be fighting them in Story/Adventure mode as you progress closer to putting a stop to Master Hands reign of terror...I am going to conclude that will not be the case! It's just some dark clouds that probably follow Meta-Knights airship around and signal its arrival! seeing as the background to the airship stage has the same colour clouds/sky!

Tellyn Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 You know that you have failed at life when you resort to speculating about the importance of clouds in a screenshot for a videogame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah, the cloud thing is totally bollocks. In on of the screencaps I saw a cartoon tree and therefore the cartoon tree must be Links mother... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GigaPlay Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Anybody care to draw an outline of this Bowser shape because I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oditri Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I for one just love the fact that this game has a story line. That's one thing so far that none of the smash bros games have had. Oh, and as far as the clouds are concerned, I can vaguely make out the bowser shape, but the cloud on the far right looks more like Link's beast form than Ganon's to me, but still, they're clouds. I would love to see ridley, ganon and star wolf make it into the game, if only as assist trophies/bosses, but ganon is probably the only one likely to make it as a playable character.

Speedysurfer Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Seriously, enough with the cloud thing... Am I the only one who finds it odd that since this new site started there have been no screenshots with Snake? Just realised it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda_Rulez Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 He's an unlockable character, so they may not show him till the game is released like they did with the unlockables in Melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedysurfer Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 He's an unlockable character, so they may not show him till the game is released like they did with the unlockables in Melee. That would make sense...but where did you read he is an unlockable character, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 That would make sense...but where did you read he is an unlockable character, by the way? I'm pretty sure that it was mentioned that all 3rd party characters weren't selectable from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda_Rulez Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sakura said that all third party characters would be unlockable. I don't have a link to a source though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-chosen-one Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 yeah i see it too you see master hand / Bowser and 3 others floating in the clouds maybe they are now the ones being enslaved by darkness i wonder who the final boss will be , and i think the purple puppet isn't a playable character i think he is only a puppet from darkness who will tell mario that he broke the rules and the world will suffer and then the clouds appear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefkov Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah, the cloud thing is totally bollocks. In on of the screencaps I saw a cartoon tree and therefore the cartoon tree must be Links mother... The tree must be the wife of the Deku tree, therefore the Deku Tree was Link's dad and will appear as a boss in the game. Seriously, this must be true because you saw that tree.

Goron_3 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Link's sheild's usefulness goes up by several orders of magnitude when items are turned on because he can block most projectiles and all thrown weapons with it. He's a much more formidable character with items on than with them off. Well no not really, unless you play the game at a snails pace. I'm liking today's update. Looks like it's generating some hype on the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindFreak Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Humans have a habit of recognising shapes and figures in just about anything. It's a brain thing, nothing more. It happened with World Trade Center too: People "saw" Satan in the clouds. The same goes with sound, by the way. (Play a song backwards and think it has a secret meaning.) If we are told, we will almost certainly believe it. On-topic: Very mysterious update indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterl0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Well no not really, unless you play the game at a snails pace. I'm liking today's update. Looks like it's generating some hype on the net Surely even for people who played at a really quick speed as long as the two people were equally quick the shield would become useful again?

Tyson Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Seriously, what's everyone looking at in the clouds? You really thing they could keep a convincing picture of Bowser in it while they animate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathborn Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 QUOTE(C. Doriga)We're almost running out of time, one last question: Are you going to include SEGA's mascot, Sonic The Hedgehog? QUOTE(M. Sakurai) Well... That's a tough question, I'll tell you that Sonic's already in the game, but we're still waiting for a last confirmation from SEGA. Due to the proximity of the game's release, SEGA's deadline to submit their confirmation is the 26th this month, and in that date the official site will be updated about the inclusion o not of SEGA's mascot in the game. I'm personally crossing my fingers. Fake or not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
