A small compilation of characters I was expecting and that didn't show up. I feel like Picasso Block and the Mario Artist characters were the most unlikely, but also the coolest ones! lol

I would 100% have a Picasso Block to rep Picross and Satebou or Parabou for the Satellaview!
I love it! Yeah, Dotty and Edogawa were on my list.

Also Dzuke-chan from English training. I was also trying to get the little boy from all of the language learning DS games, but it was too much work to translate.

Thanks for doing that game and all that participated, including me like 3 times. I learned about a lot of weird characters. Very informational, even when you lose every round.

I'm just happy that I managed to get one right. Some of the character I knew happened at times where I wasn't available (like that DK two-for-one with Xananab, which frustrated me a bit), so I was lucky to be there at the right time for that one.

The game was still fun, not just for the guessing part, but for finding out about these super obscure Nintendo characters and IPs that I wouldn't otherwise know about. So thanks for the fun J-Tier!

Thanks for the love all! Crazy that I just did this on a whim and it went on for almost half a year. Now we have the game to look forward to!

Well that's it, thanks for the fun J-Tier.

Guh......it was the only other Nintendo Zapper game I owned too.

Ah well, thanks for the fun J-tier and grats to everyone that made points.

Thanks for the trivia J-Tier, it was fun!

Though I'm surprised you never used Edogawa from that Gamecube trivia game! He seemed like the perfect character to use at some point.

Yay. I actually thought Clov was going to do it. I got frustrated with a few ones and so many 1 second losses, but it was pretty fun to do this game!

I feel like this Smash cycle lost that love for obscure Nintendo and you brought it back every day. Thanks a lot for doing this!
(I also think this is the first time I won something like this, lol)

Clov and Triggershy truly were the best rivals.


Now I'm glad he didn't use Pegasu Edogawa, because I was aiming for it too and you would get it first. Dx

I was hoping for a Xenoblade character this whole time and didn't mention in discord in case you took them out because of others seeing the franchise get mentioned
rip

But it was pretty awesome to see obscure Nintendo characters! Thank you for doing this game!

Yeah, J tier's game was awesome even though I didn't participate. I still learned a lot!

So can you unlock characters by playing online matches? Or does it have to be done in single player

The only thing I have relating to it is a picture of the Special Smash sub-menu. I can also post the menu description from the text dump though.

Are those good enough IntelliHeath ? I'm out right now, but I can post them when I get home in 10-15 minutes.

I really need a good quality picture of menu itself (300%, etc and description too) so do you know where I could search for it? (since you said there is a picture of special smash submenu, etc.)

I know J-Tier said Pokémon would be to on the nose, but I was thinking one of these days there would an obscure Pokémon (human)character. It would be a clever loop hole that would through people off. I was actually nervous of the possibility of that, haha.

I can give you the description, but I don't have any clear pictures of the mode's menu, sorry. Another user on here gave me those pics, and I think they got them from a livestream.

I was incredibly tempted to pull a character from Pokemon Ranger.
A character from Colloseum and/or XD would've been cool. I feel like less people played those than the Ranger games.

Alright, I'm okay with looking at the picture too if you have any access (whenever you are free!)

if i was going for obscure pokemon "character" i'd probably go with one of the lesser but still important NPCs from Pokemon Colosseum or Gale of Darkness

Everyone remembers what the admins look like, they have distinct silhouettes
but even if you remembered Nett, would you remember what he looked like???

Yeah, that rumor died out pretty fast. Though, there are some missing numbers in a list of modes in one part of text dump. I wouldn't expect to see those happen though, they were probably just straight up cut.
What exactly killed the rumor?

The tester who leaked that was right about the other stuff and there are in fact those two missing modes in the files. As far as I can tell we can't know for sure until the patch.

If you're not taunting after every KO with Incineroar, you're doing it wrong.


Whoa! Did we know Holy Water was a grabbable item?

did the picasso block really not have a name?
I actually was expecting him to show up at some point too but I just assumed he had a name I didn't know about
I mean, he's an unique character and the game names him "Picasso Block". That's his name. :p

I just assumed he would never show up because people would assume Picross had no characters.

I never properly participated in J-Tier's game because I either felt it would be cheap if I knew the character well, or I had absolutely no idea and didn't want to go digging especially with people like Heartskips and Clov on the case.
I still appreciated it though.

Oh my gosh, so sorry! I'm usually really good about spoilers but it totally slipped my mind!

Was the rumor about unlocking Master Hand false?

Man. I wish Richter's Holy Water traveled forward after exploding like it does in Rondo and Symphony. It's the one moveset change they didn't give him that they should have.

uh excuse me, j-tier, you posted the wrong sillhouette?

Don't worry, I had the correct one saved.

Zubz only one person can possibly know this silhouette.

!

I just gotta say, both of this silhouette & the spaceship look like a certain obscure character from Nintendo's classic Pinball series.

... I think his name's Marlon or something?

For real, though, J-Tier , thank you for the fantastic game, & congrats to our top scorers! I meant to set an alarm for the last round, but I got into some heated matches of Duck Game tonight (I found a mod that lets you play as Bandana Dee, btw, & it was glorious). I appreciate all the effort you put into giving us a fun game to make the wait more fun; I won't forget it!

Pretty nice small buff for Duck Hunt. The debris from a clay pigeon broken by an opponent now has hurtboxes, making it something that you either need to attack with a projectile or disjointed hit box or avoid entirely. Should help make it an even more effective tool at zoning opponents, which along with Duck Hunt's other changes should help make him more competent

Oh, I'm friends with this guy IRL lol.

He's very happy about all the Duck Hunt buffs.

This is the best I have (from one of the first videos of the leaked game, back when they had to inject it over Minecraft).

That's menu where you accessed via side bar to access your character and their spirits. Not Spirit Mode. I know I saw the menu itself but I can't even remember where it comes from? Wait, I think I remember where I saw it. I think it was when Sakurai show the audience the spirit mode at the event.

Edited: found it. Thanks for trying! I really appreciate that! :)

Oh, whoops. I was doing something and missed your reply; sorry. I'm assuming that you found the Japanese version, so here's an English version of the menu.

Well, competitive smash 4 is effectively over. Congrats to Eim taking Umebera Final in a close set with Choco. It was a fitting end for the game, with Choco missing a tech and getting stage spiked and dying at ~30%. Mad respect to Tea, who finished 3rd, whose Pac Man was wild and had some of the more hype sets I've seen in a while

Here's to Ultimate's competitive future!

It was posted by another user (Fatmanonice), who is also apparently verified on Smashboards. Here is a collection of his posts on the subject:
Probably Geno who was turned down. Can't think of any other character who they would've been adamant to push for given the fervent support there is for the character despite Square's complete and total indifference for the character. I can't see it being Sora given the ball for unilaterally shooting him down wouldn't be in Square's court, assuming he was ever one of the three candidates in the first place.

I'm gonna take a bold guess and say the leak bait is someone more obscure, like Terra or Crono.

Any good wireless LAN adapters anyone recommends?
There really isn't much to them as far as I know. They either aren't Switch compatible or use one of two uniformized chipsets, the Wii (U) one or the new one. New chip adapters allow faster download speeds, are more expensive and don't work with Wii (U). But for playing both kinds should be okay.
