man I remember looking at this and thinking "how are they gonna top this?!"The Brawl roster seems so tiny now.
Like what is this? A roster for ants?
I like how each column has a clear theme
Mainline Mario series
Extended Mario universe/spinoffs
Zelda series
Various NES era series
Small sized cosmic characters
Sci-Fi vehicular based series
Pokemon
RPG series
Third Parties + Mr. Game & Watch because why not
But like; despite the design difference, the character is still 'Sheik' (and they are at least based on scrapped concept art/in-game clothes). Toon Sheik would just be an OC created out of thin air.Toon Sheik isn't really more of an original character than Twilight Princess Sheik and Breath of the Wild Sheik are.
Isn't there a free trial if you've never had the online? That should be enough.I just realised that I'm going to have to buy a NSO sub solely to complete the online portion of the challenges when that's all that's left to 100% the game.
Ya got me Nintendo.
No wonder she sucks this game. A researcher trying to play NinjaDespite common belief that BotW Zelda isn't playable, she sneaked in as Sheik.
It really says something when 39 characters is only barely half of what we have nowThe Brawl roster seems so tiny now.

The fourth fighter revealed in November when the fifth one is supposed to be out by February?Yeah, if the general Direct is in September then I think there will be a dedicated stream (whether it's Robin style or a mini Direct) in October or November covering the fourth fighter.
It's the same as Cloud and Corrin/Bayonetta.The fourth fighter revealed in November when the fifth one is supposed to be out by February?
Is there any reason to think this?Yeah, if the general Direct is in September then I think there will be a dedicated stream (whether it's Robin style or a mini Direct) in October or November covering the fourth fighter.
Different scenario. Smash 4 had no set schedule and was basically wild west. The fact that this is a set pass and set schedule limits things.It's the same as Cloud and Corrin/Bayonetta.
Cloud was a Fall reveal and those 2 were in their own direct for a February release.
We don't really have any reason to believe that they will though. With Banjo progressing along fine based on his E3 trailer, I think they'll release all five before the deadline.
What a person doesn't say speaks even louder.Literally nothing Sakurai said indicated they're behind schedule. There's no reason to expect a delay
They could...but why would they?
With that avatar, how could I not?The last fighter will be released on February 31st. Everything will be ok, you can trust my judgment.
its really not that different.Different scenario. Smash 4 had no set schedule and was basically wild west. The fact that this is a set pass and set schedule limits things.
I don't understand why the series is so bad with character selection UI.
This monster looks unfinished and disheveled. Could they not think of anything better for the clones' icons except putting them misaligned next to their base characters? Their order is quite awkward too.
Nearly 20 years later and we have a bare flat grid that doesn't even try to look organized. No attempt at any symmetry or any sort of stylistic arrangement and shapes. It's like they just threw in a template and didn't bother to change anything from the default settings.
The stage selection is bad too. It will look unfinished until the Pass is fully out there and the icons are way too small.
I mean; they apparently considered having Link age up throughout Wind Waker.
Terra in smash with her HW Gun
But super realistic so it shatters the already flimsy "no realistic guns" rule ;)
Meant Tetra lol
Meant Tetra lol
Still want FF6 Terra though now that you brought it up
That's honestly the most important part to me haha
Very interesting... though very rough and/or early, it seems. I can't see that older Link interacting with most of the WW humanesque cast unless the whole style would change to match.I mean; they apparently considered having Link age up throughout Wind Waker.
Wonder how that would've translated to Smash.
Yeah, it's pretty hard to imagine. There's more concept art of "Toon Adult Link", but I still can't imagine this guy returning to early-game locations like Outset or Windfall (though I guess the growth and difference was what they were going, so maybe it would've worked?)Very interesting... though very rough and/or early, it seems.

my spidey senses are tinglingI can't believe that Spider-Man will be another fighter with a Down-B counter.

Hyrule Historia claims that the TP Sheik concept art was drawn specifically for Brawl. It was never intended to be used in Zelda itself.

Brawl's development was difficult but the biggest issue with the game was iirc the amount of outsourcing that had to be done. That's the main reason Subspace Emissary became such a shitshow, like most games on the Wii they were unable to render cutscenes in-engine and had to resort farming out pre-rendered CG cutscenes, and due to how plot driven the game was, that did a huge number on development time.Yea, Brawl's development seems like a disaster
64 seems like the hardest part was just convincing Nintendo that it was a viable idea. Other than that, I get the impression it was more of a hobby project.
