Modern war, but it's pretty cartoonish. Sami is an infantry specialist who's usually seen carrying a rifle. It'd be pretty easy to come up with gun-based gameplay for her, though I don't know how well it'd fit in the Smash Brothers universe.

All of the named characters in Advance Wars are commanding officers or higher, so they're not actually on the battlefield much. I imagine special moves based on deploying miniature units, much like the assist trophy, probably an infantry and a tank since they're the most common. Andy would have stronger tanks since he's a mechanic, and Sami would have stronger infantry. Snake's final smash would actually be perfect for Sami, and Andy's could be similar but fire a Megatank instead.

Actually, if Nintendo can't/won't license Snake for Smash 4 but want to keep the moveset, either of these guys would be a good replacement.

You probably know this already, but this almost certainly will never happen in Project M. Banjo-Kazooie's no longer a Nintendo property, and to add to that they've had no appearances at all in the series so I'm not sure that would abide to the guidelines Project M said they'd keep to.

We can dream though :smith:

I'd personally love to see Isaac show up, though again I didn't play a lot of Golden Sun, I just think a magic user who isn't a zoner like Zelda could be cool. Comedy Geno response (put in Geno).

I'd also like to see Isaac/Matthew, with the utterly ridiculous Sol Blade for his A-moves and Psynergy for B. There are a number of pre-existing assets that could be jury-rigged to add flavor to his attacks, and the model for Isaac himself already exists in the data thanks to the Assist Trophy. He would probably be easier to build than Roy or Mewtwo were, even if that isn't saying much.

I'm also in love with the idea of Black Shadow replacing Ganondorf as the C. Falcon clone, since it makes a whole hell of a lot more sense for the character (and gives us a unique Ganondorf without losing that incredible moveset). I think a villain with that much history deserves a set entirely his own.

It's great that they're putting in new characters in the game, especially after the amount of work required to put in Mewtwo, a character with moves and animations they could use as a reference. Their modelling really fits in with the art style, too.

Since I've been playing Kingdom Hearts 3D, I would like to see Sora in the game, if only because he has an enormous moveset to choose from, and over half of the Kingdom Hearts games have been on Nintendo systems. You can still make a character interesting even if they didn't fight in their original game, such as Captain Falcon, but being able to use their own moves is really cool. It's one of the things I thought PlayStation All-Stars did really well, with characters like Raiden, Dante, and Kratos playing like 2D versions of their actual games.

The April Fool's video was entertaining, to say the least. How much of that should we be taking seriously?

TheReflexWonder: I plan on picking up Slippy ASAP. Finally, a space animal I can get behind. I think Slippy gets a bad rap despite being the brains of the Star Fox squad, and few things will be as satisfying as sticking it to the attention hogs that are the current space animals. You haven't seen much of the character, but I have high hopes!

So uhhh, Slippy confirmed?

May 20th. We should all try to organize some WiFi matches before then, you'll still be able to use Dolphin Netplay (which is actually preferable) after Nintendo shuts down their servers but that's not an option everyone has.

If I remember correctly the mask's spikes were actually part of the stage, so it wouldn't be suited for competitive play (also the downward sides would probably be death traps and thus unfair) but I suppose those could be edited to not be part of the stage.

The popular theories are:

quote:

Event 47 in SSBM is Trophy Tussle 3. (Skull Kid?)
The Japanese release date on Virtual Console for Majora's Mask was 04/07/09.
Trophy #47 in SSBM is the Luigi (Smash) trophy.
Trophy #47 in SSBB is DeDeDe's Final Smash, Waddle Dee Army.
Issue 47 of Nintendo Power features Star Fox on the front cover.
The 47th Pokemon is Parasect
Agent 47 from Hitman.
The 3DS is outselling the PS Vita 47-to-1
There are 47 exclusive WiiU games.

More recently CEO Jebailey, runner of the CEO tournament series, showed off a new stage PMBR created for a special event at CEO 2014.



It's meant to mimic the Smash 4 Punch Out!! boxing ring, as well as CEO 2014's unique main stage. Among the 'Mahvel's and the 'Kappa's, notice the purple Yoshi holding a '#47' sign. Is it just a simple tease, or is there a clue here? Maybe it's a Yoshi or Punch Out!! related reveal, or maybe they're showing a trailer at CEO 2014? Why is the Ridley Yoshi purple? Where is the purple spotlight pointing, and why is the image cropped so weird? Because it's from Instagram.

Probably has something to do with the clone engine. In Subspace Emissary mode a couple of the bosses have their voice and sound effects replaced with Mewtwo and Roy's, so I think the clone engine involves using the boss characters' "slots". Since each new character has to use an existing one as a "base" maybe Link is the basis for one of the next new characters?

PM's clone engine uses Boss files in addition to the extra 7 slots, for example Roy and Mewtwo use and replace Duon and Galleom's boss files for their sounds, name plates and all that, so I guess you can take this as confirmation they're moving forward with a new character as they're rigging up Rayquaza's files for use.
