super smash bros - LEAK TIME AGAIN (RECAP: Yes, they're really adding Krystal from Star Fox, videos

[QUOTE=Skerion;48556115]I'd actually rather someone remade Snake's model in Smash 4 style with all the normal maps and other fancy shaders rather than port him from Brawl, to be honest.[/QUOTE]
Would you rather have what we have or nothing at all, that's the real question here.
Though just take a look at Mewtwo in Project M, they did a decent job with him.

It's not that hard for fans to do, to be honest. Heck, most of SSB4's player models are touched up Brawl models, even more-erect Bowser.

[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;48556136]it is interesting to wonder what Shovel Knight's VO would sound like, if he had one at all[/QUOTE]

Probably just little bleeps and bloops from the game

[Itachi_Crow]

Yeah I see them giving him the mega man treatment tbh

[QUOTE=Zadrave;48555384]I still have optimism that Snake would be the literal last DLC for smash bros 4 as a surprise
"Kept you waiting huh?"[/QUOTE]

If I can't get Snake back I'd want a sort of successor character to replace him. Before release I thought that would be Duck Hunt but he's honestly almost nothing like Snake.

Assuming Shovel Knight is getting into Smash, How much you think it's affected by the ballot? Because it's awfully early isn't it? I mean we still have until October 3rd for when the ballot closes, so what does this mean for the other candidates?

My mind is full of questions :s:

1 more character for sure, 2 if we're lucky is my assumption.
There's also a chance that Shovel Knight might not be the only one getting revealed soon, if he is.

Oh, I didn't know that. I thought Meta Knight was like one of the few characters that had barely any change to his model from Brawl.

I guess I was under the impression that he meant a direct port of Brawl Snake. I suppose he wouldn't look all that bad unaltered in Smash 4, but it'd be better if he were at least a little bit touched up.

Yeah, they definitely had an incredible vamp up on the textures but quite a few look almost identical, model-wise, to the point where there is a fanmod for Brawl that gives characters SSB4esque textures and they look really similar.

This is Wii U Fox vs vanilla Brawl's Fox as well as Luigi, Diddy, Charizard and Lucario.

The characters that got the heaviest changes were the ones with flowing hair, which they got entirely redone, and very probably Yoshi, Ike and Samus.

Lil late there, and also has nothing to do with Smash :v:

[Swiket]

Nintendo just announced Smash maintenance for September 1. It's happening.

Any place I can watch this, or is there no stream?

[editline]28th August 2015[/editline]

Nvm just checked Twitch.

[editline]28th August 2015[/editline]

The only stream available is showing some jetpack exploration game though.

What? You want to watch maintenance? I'm terribly confused.

[JoeJohns]

Up next on [B][I]ShovelWatch[/I][/B]:

Nintendo of America has just tweeted that they're "at the @EMPmuseum for #Nindies@Night!" Yacht Club Games has retweeted it.

Could this be the Amiibo announcement? Or something... [I]bigger?[/I] Tune in later tonight to find out!

[Keychain]

Oh wait there's an event thing going on tonight or something, right? I forgot about that

[Itachi_Crow]

man even if shovel knight ain't in smash it'd be cool as FUCK to have an amiibo of him on my shelf

[MissingGlitch]

I've never played Shovel Knight. Haven't gotten around to it yet. But I just think any new character (within reason) would be cool to have. I'm still hoping for Banjo Kazooie though.

do you enjoy mega man type 8bit platforms

if yes buy shovel knight

[ClauAmericano]

I'm so confused, so Nintendo won't be streaming?
The only PAX related stream I can find is this: [url]http://www.twitch.tv/pax[/url]

[Sift]

They aren't streaming but Reggie just walked up on stage at the Nintendo Booth

[Vitalon]

I click on that link and they're showing off some RPG-looking game while talking about sexual innuendos and necrophilia.

What in the hell?

I predict an amiibo announcement tonight, but an eventual smash announcement in the next month or two. Probably in october, when the poll ends (if he's even in smash)

[Random Access]

That's it, I'm not going to stop until I can play Megaman competently.

It is outrageously satisfying to just stroll up to arrow-spamming Link players since your standard megabuster shot can cancel their projectiles.

just remember not to stand there trying to follow up after a point blank third shot, since the hitstun doesn't last as long as the cool down on the ftilt or jab. I'll usually walk up with two ftilt shots and jump nair the third shot. if I can get a point blank nair, even better, since that increases the knockback substantially

[Sift]

Should post it here but the Megaton was the amiibo and amiibo features. Presentation is over and people spreading the rumor are idiots as usual.

What the Unseen64 guy has been saying (well, his source has been saying) is that tonight was for the amiibo, and that in a month or two we'd see him in smash. I doubt it, but we'll see.

[SleepyAl]

So for people who haven't googled it, this is what the amiibo unlocks:

[quote=IGN]For the Wii U version of Shovel Knight, the amiibo will unlock an exclusive co-op mode, making it the only version of the game that supports two players for the entire game. On Wii U as well as 3DS, the amiibo will unlock exclusive challenge modes not available on other platforms as well as customization options (changing the look and color of your Shovel Knight) that can be saved to the amiibo.[/quote]

Here's the cringeworthy reveal trailer:
