Is Luigi a clone of Mario?

Not at all. I don't remember what his moves were like in the original, but in Melee, he's completely different.

Sonic update tomorrow, Sarhan

Damn straight! Love your sig by the way.

Animal Crossing Playable Character

Someone at Smash world figured out that each of the playables has an icon next to their title on the character pages.
Each of the icons has this url: http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/images/icon/world_b_XX.gif
Replace the XX with a two digit number, between 01 and 18, and each of the numbers represents a franchise, one of these being Animal Crossing. That's why a lot of people agree that an AC character is probably included.

Also, here's a link to a topic in SMash World forums, where they have a translated Japanese interview with the AC creator, where he confesses to an AC character in the game, and his descriptions make it sound a lot like the protagonist from said games.

Edit: God, I am way too far into this.

Well, after seeing that last update, I'm pretty disappointed.  PT had a lot of potential, but his smash is exactly what I would've expected.

I do like, however, that they added that little "it's super effective!" in there.

Didn't they prove that the interview was a fake? I remember reading that somewhere on smash boards.

Regardless, I'll post the actual interview here for the lazy people:


Also, if anyone can read Japanese, check this out and see if it matches the quote posted above:

An Animal Crossing character would be the LAMEST character in all of SSB. What moves would he do? Be your bitch? Move objects to kill cockroaches?

To answer your question, here's a quote from the interview:

The Animal Crossing character is very much like the one in the games. You know, he will use his axe, fishing rod, bug catching net, and everything else from the games.

About tonight's update, Pokemon Trainer's Final Smash:

This is pretty much exactly what I thought would happen. It looks like a pretty cool FS and the addition of the "it's super effective" is a nice touch and it brings back memories. I'm sad though, because seeing the smaller version of that third screenshot made Meta Knight look like Sonic. I need help guys...I'm starting to lose my mind.

Interesting side note...while I was typing this a random porn add popped up. Just felt like sharing.

EDIT: I know I said I'd drop the whole Mr. Resetti changing the camera zoom thing, but I just noticed something. See the third and fourth screenshots of PT's FS? Notice how the dialogue box stays the same size even though the third screenshot is zoomed out further? Gives my theory about auto adjusting text boxes some leverage, since final smashes aren't cinematic events themselves and don't directly influence how the camera acts.

Anyways, that is all. I'm done now. Please don't flame me. I hate fire.

I also hate doing homework at 2:30 AM, but I guess I'll go do that now. Stupid accounting.

Regardless, the icon thing is still there, which is convincing enough for me, since the other games with trophies and items don't have their own icons.

Oh yeah, I believe that as well. That's exactly why I'm 99% sure that Captain Falcon and Ness are going to be back. I was just talking about the interview.

With all the attention AC has been getting, I'm sure we'll be seeing a character.

i was really hoping PT's final smash would be summoning that god pokemon from diamond/pearl or something rather than just ULTIMATE ATTACKS but oh well

I agree, PT would've been one of the best characters in the game if he had summoned a fourth pokemon for his final smash. I had Aerodactyl stuck in mind for some reason, but I was secretly praying for Dragonite, Rayquayza or something.

Ohhh I hope fox can deflect that :3
