has anyone unearthed anything more about Squad Smash yet? At first I thought it was like the Smash Tour/Subspace thing where you get to pick 3 or 5 characters and have one stock as each of them...but then there was the whole "Let each person claim one character" thing which made it sound more like a different tourney mode.

You can do both, by simply passing the controller when you die, or not doing that

Squad Smash is the mode where you pick 3 or 5 fighters to play as for a single round. Smashdown is the mode where a fighter that has been used in a previous round can't be used again.

Sorry, i worded that wrong; Squad Smash has a card in the direct with "Pick 3/5 characters and fight as them", and then a second card of "have 6/10 people and let each person control one character". That second thing implies that each match is a separate fight, and that you're not changing characters between stocks of a single fight.

Oh, its literally just "hand off the controller"? Seems a bit jank, but that's fine if it FINALLY gives us the "one stock of 3/5 different fighters" mode

iirc they showed the player name/icon change during the handoff so it might be a bit more than that

imo, characters in the "other" category should be listed among their contemporary nintendo console

or when they first debuted on a nintendo console, so you have cloud as gba, sonic as gamecube, and bayo as wii u

If this game could ape everything except the memory glitch from Soul Calibur 3's single player, I would never need another game.

Being able to dress up and save custom costumes for characters would also be perfect. Mario but wearing a party hat on top of his hat? Yes please.

It feels like they’re going for a villain motif and combine that with Sakurai’s background in the last Direct, I really think Skull Kid is next.

Some people think this image Sakurai posted is teasing Isaac because it looks kinda similar to the Golden Sun battle screen.

Another way to look at this, you got three characters Link, Marth, and Shulk, but in Monhun up to 4 people can hunt a monster, so where's the 4th?

if y'all want a real hint that's extremely true, i just noticed that the only two things in the big character collage that aren't a either fighter or something that belongs to a fighter are the mr. saturn standing next to olimar and the butterfly villager is chasing with the net so i think one of those two will be in the next direct

It wasn’t but I still think it was intentional. It’s not like they filmed a natural skyline. Someone coded that shape in.

So Luigi clearly went into Dracula's Castle thinking it was just another one of his titular mansions.

Why did Samus choose Mario and Megaman to accompany her into that space pirate base? Were they specifically hunting Ridley and were woefully unprepared despite fighting dragons in their own games?
