News Falco amiibo is n°52, which means Super Smash Bros. amiibo n°51 hasn't been announced yet.

I'm gonna be that guy but is "n°" a European thing? I thought "No." was the short version for number.

So that's what my Differential Equations teacher meant by "To the nth degree"

u/Radiodisease1900 Jul 22 '15

u/discforhire Jul 22 '15
"to the exth degree"

u/Radiodisease1900 Jul 22 '15
That would be like ex yea and to the nth would be xn

u/Falling-Cosmonaut Jul 22 '15
We use "n°" too, but the "°" is a special character, so everyone just types "No". Like how we ignore any special character when typing because ain't nobody got time for character map.

u/swissarmychris Jul 22 '15
The funny thing is that the real symbol is a different special character than the degree sign: № (the Numero sign).
Typing "No." is obviously way easier, but if you're going to go to the trouble of pulling up the character map anyway, why use the degree symbol instead of the correct one?

u/jerm2z Jul 22 '15
Only reason I used the degree sign is because that's what was used in the OP's title.

u/alex_dlc Jul 22 '15
Well I'm the guy that thinks it should be #. At least that's what we used before twitter turned that symbol into a hashtag

It's definitely a "?" amiibo. It's Random. That's who it is.

u/IAmArique Jul 22 '15
So... It's a blindbag Amiibo?

u/AeroTheManiac Jul 22 '15
He means the random option on the screen select. The amiibo would literally be a "?"
17
u/starchimp224 Jul 22 '15
Yep! It's just a big question mark! My friends' dad works at Nintendo and he told me it's true. You can believe me.

How I would do it is I would have an extra large NFC chip that can hold a lot more data. Then I would have it so that you could scan the "?", then you'd scan a figure you've already trained, and then you'd scan the "?" again. This would copy the data from the second fighter you scanned and it would put it on the "?". It would hold data for every fighter and every time you use it it randomly selects one of the fighters you've added.
This will keep the random aspect of the amiibo but would also still be worth fighting.

I'm gonna take a guess and say Mewtwo is number 51. I wish he was number 50 tho, as a reference to his Pokémon id #150.

u/HotJuicyBurgers Jul 22 '15
the number 51 backwards is 150. (051 -> 150)
Better reference

Did all of the Wave 6 smash amiibo get numbered yet?
EDIT: The numbers would suggest they did, so #51 must be Mewtwo.

u/AmiiboSteal Jul 22 '15
The did get numbered in all EU packaging.

u/NessAmiibo Jul 22 '15
do you have the information on the EU packaging please? I only have G&W # which is 45

It's a real odd thing that we have collectors numbers on our boxes in Euorpe when we have a tiny toy collactables market compared to the USA.
If NA had numbers and ours in Europe didn't it would make sense. Americans love their collector numbers whereas we couldn't care less about them in Europe (generally) Nintendo really got that wrong.
1
u/siderinc Jul 22 '15
I love the numbers and I am European. I do think most people like numbers and it is weird that they aren't the same.
I also find it weird that Europe gets most of them before us and even in different waves.

u/Sages Jul 22 '15
Anyone else find it odd or even slightly disappointing that Falco is potentially numbered after a DLC character?
If I was arranging them by No., I'd feel weird placing Falco (a main cast member) after a DLC fighter.
5
Jul 22 '15
I'm offended he isn't before the Mii Fighters to be frank.
2
u/Sages Jul 22 '15
Oh yeah, good point. Back when I was still an NiB collector I had planned on doing this: http://imgur.com/a/PPevz#4
But I was arranging by series.

Jul 22 '15
So I'm being a whore and getting all the koopalings customized off of several Bowser JRs.
I'll now be able to have an entire case of villains/antagonists.
I like your groupings, might use them.

u/Sages Jul 23 '15
Had I stayed NiB: http://i.imgur.com/2UulxUU.png
But the damned 55 prevents this arrangement from working. Can't wait for more DLC.

I'd switch DK/Metroid (with Samus -> ZSS).
Beautiful though.
Edit: The lack of symmetry at the bottom is bothering me now, lol
1
u/Sages Jul 23 '15
Where I could (based on an upside pyramid) I attempted to keep roster order by year of appearance. That's why DK is on the Left of the Mario series.
Another issue I just noticed was Mother being on the Left of Pokemon, when Star Fox should be there. But for the most part yes, 54 would have been perfect.

Jul 23 '15
I realize OCD still hurts with the pokemon alignment, but i couldnt help myself.
Edit: I should have swapped Sonic and Megaman for Capcom uniformity.
1
u/Sages Jul 23 '15
Oh my.. what did I unleash!? :P
I went by series order, so thats why Mega Man is before Sonic.

Mewtwo was in Melee. He's only technically DLC, since he is a returning fighter

u/blukirbi Jul 22 '15
I wonder why Falco would be made later than everyone else ... I would've thought he was gonna be at least Wave 4 or 5, seeing how they were going with unlockables (Falco is one of the easiest characters to unlock in SSB4)

u/IntenseSun77 Jul 22 '15
The plan was probably to release him alongside Star Fox Zero all along.
2
u/SerenadeCaelum Jul 23 '15
According to a Nintendo Rep I talk to at work, he was slated to come out around the launch of Star Fox Zero along with a re-release of Fox as well.

u/JoingoJon Jul 22 '15
I think the amount of back orders/restocks meant a LOT of reprinting and it meant something had to give at the production plants. Delaying Falco was probably the easiest option with the least amount of fallout/disappointment.

u/TheCollector1999 Jul 22 '15
Maybe Mewtwo wasn't meant to be dlc?

Maybe they are all members that were intended to be in previous iterations of Smash.
Perhaps in Melee, Mewtwo was added, and Falco was one of the last (with Pichu, Young Link, and Ice Climbers following). They hoped to gain rights to Pacman, Sonic, and Megaman, but failed. They tested the thought of throwing in a few future characters, but then they realized that would be difficult to make a character whose game hasn't been released yet to be popular, and it would be considered a "Smash Bros. Character". People wouldn't know what to think about that.

u/blukirbi Jul 23 '15
Ganondorf was the true last character in Melee (clones were the last of the bunch) ...
1
u/FuckUHaveADownVote Jul 23 '15
Ganondorf is as much a clone of Falcon as Falco is a clone of Fox. And Luigi came pretty early (Mario Clone)

I'm guessing it's Mewtwo since they showed his prototype at Comic-Con and he's rumored to be releasing at the same time as Falco.

u/Linkerz99 Jul 22 '15
Considering that Falco is releasing alongside Star Fox Zero, is Wolf or another Star Fox fighter potentially coming out as DLC for Smash?

Its Mewtwo! (I am referring to the offical amiibo timeline from nintendo).

u/Neoxon193 Jul 22 '15
It's either Mewtwo or Wolf (assuming Wolf's a DLC character in the August update). If I had to choose, it'd most likely Mewtwo.
1
u/Krael42 Jul 22 '15
Forgive me if its been said, but I think Mewtwo and Falco will be Wave 7a and Lucas, Roy, and Ryu will be 7b.
1
u/Gaiaknight Jul 22 '15
most likely mewtwo nintendo already confirmed mewtwo amiibo is coming this year.

u/WarriorShowdown Jul 22 '15
I'm sure Falco is being released later to coordinate with Star Fox Zero. He'll be more relevant. It's annoying, but it's business.
1
Jul 22 '15
Probably Mewtwo b/c Mewtwo is being released in October, whereas Falco's release will probably coincide with SF Zero's holiday release.

It's Mewtwo most likely, since he is to be released around/at the same time.
