    So there's a stage I remember playing on, maybe just on world of light, which looked like maybe a bowser castle. It took place on two flat platforms which were constantly rotating around each other, so one would be pushing you off the other, etc.

    I can't find this stage at all in multiplayer. Are there wol only stages? Am I a crazy person?

    It's whatever the New Super Mario Bros stage is called. Kammy comes along and uses magic to warp the stage and that's one of the forms it takes.
    Aha, thanks, it's apparently the "Slide Lift Tower" form of Mushroom Kingdom U.

    Shovel Knight isn't happening for the same exact reason Ray Man isn't happening, right? (They're Brawhala characters instead)

    Shovel Knight is the first non-Japanese character to get any 3D model in a smash. And Shantae got a spirit. That's it outside of some Nintendo-owned IPs. Its yet to be seen how characters created by non-Japanese companies are supposed to become playable in Smash. (Although if any company could and wanted to, I'd rate Ubisoft pretty high, given their history with Nintendo.)

    Edit: ugh come to think of it, a Rabbid seems not that unlikely. With some way to do some of the dressups in Kingdom Battle. Its definitely Ubisoft's most recognizable "character" and had a ton of Wii games, and M+R KB did not too bad either.

    So I just tried playing a quick match online and, um

    I bet a million dollars they don't ever change matchmaking to allow only matchmaking into no item 1v1s, no matter how much people complain.

    I hope they improve lobbies to allow you to change rules without remaking the room and have the option to change character and stage picks between fights, and let 2 people on the same system be in the room together, like the 2v2 coop matchmaking mode.

    Corrin is funnnn

    Corrin was absolutely one of my favorite characters in Smash 4. Too bad about her being a dipshit in her actual game, but still! Fell in love when they initially showed off this crazy kind of tokeratsu looking dragon morphing weirdo. I can't stand Marth's tipper mechanic most of the time, but feels good to poke someone just right with her spear arm, or pin them down, or catch someone close range with her projectile into her arm chomp.

    Female Corrin hits all my fighting game buttons. Shes the cammy of smash imo

    It's funny you say that because there's a Cammy spirit in the game. They use Shiek for the fight and have her spam this dive kick that flips over you then attacks you.

    1. Captain Toad (didn't care until I saw this concept video, which looks like it would be a really fun character)
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqk0vlKgu2c
    2. Chun Li
    3. Knuckles
    4. Amy Rose
    5. Quote & Curly Brace (as alt models) from Cave Story
    6. Shovel Knight (male) & Shovel Knight (female)
    7. Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden
    8. someone from Chrono Trigger (I'd prefer Frog or Magus, but would be happy with Chrono)
    9. Terra or Celes from Final Fantasy VI (or Faris from FFV)
    10. Loto/Erdrick from Dragon Quest (male & female versions)
    wouldn't hold out much hope for more Square stuff. they seem to be real divas about including their content to the point where Cloud apparently doesn't even get real artwork for his spirit

    I think all of the DLC is going to consist of characters from series' that do not already have a character in the game.

    Well, specifically 3D model...there have been a couple. For example King K. Rool was a figurine in past Smashes dating back to Melee.

    The Prince would be pretty fun. I was actually thinking about him as a potential character the other night while playing. Like, would they make him visible or it would just be the Katamari you fought with and the Prince would be too tiny to see? Would the Katamari get bigger the more damage it took? Would one of its moves be to catch any projectiles or thrown items and have them all stick to it? I was just imagining a Katamari covered in max charged Super Scope shots or tons and tons of Ray Gun blasts.

    Speaking of that NSMU stage. World of Light does a thing occasionally where a stage that normally changes shape stays in one configuration (such as Wuhu Island being stuck in volcano mode). Is this something that can be done in normal smash, via the hazard toggle or something?

    They need to patch a stage creator back in. That was always a fun feature.

    It seems weird to me that we’ve never had a straight-up Bowser Castle stage in this series. Just as part of the Sticker Star stage.

    I think that the boss of the Classic Mode for every DLC character should be the same: Assist Trophy boss rush of characters that were highly requested but didn't make it, with a giant boss Waluigi at the end.

    Hello Smash thread! I've been playing World of Light during breaks in my trip and it's been a blast so far. Love that not only is there a Chaotix spirit, but unlocking it requires fighting Sonic, Pichu and K. Rool.

    Anyway, I'm sure this has been answered but I don't have time to wade through 600+ posts: you can't unlock every single character by playing World of Light, right? That's what some Internet sleuthing has indicated but I haven't found a definitive answer yet.

    persona 5 is about invading the mental worlds of corrupt people in positions of power, right? I figure Joker’s classic mode will see him fighting folks like Wario, Dedede, K. Rool, and Ganondorf before eventually fighting Dracula.

    So I'm sure someone else came to this conclusion in the week I was away, but:

    Joker makes perfect sense in Smash as an overall representative of Shin Megami Tensei, which has been going on as a series for over 30 years. Same way Cloud makes more sense as an overall representative of Final Fantasy, which has also been going that long. With that, we have two of Japan's three biggest RPG series.

    With that in mind, it seems a little odd Dragon Quest isn't part of the mix. I'm putting five Internet bucks down on Slime.

    I unlocked Cloud last night, super excited to try him out when I get home from work today. Does he use summon materia, or are those Midgar stage hazards?

    Midgar hazards. Whoever grabs the materia summons.

    They missed a real opportunity to make his final smash Knights of the Round, it should also last the entire 1:30 it normally takes.

    They should've brought back the 3DS outline feature! Really useful in battles with over 3 people.

    I love that you can play with 8 players anywhere, all the time now though. Everything Smash 4 did halfway is fully realized...except for the few features missing or changed.

    There doesn't seem to be an easy way to earn in-game gold either. Seems like best methods are to play Classic mode and just keep doing that over and over. You get most of your early gold in Adventure mode, but after that, it really only seems to trickle in slowly.
