Super Smash Bros. 4 - Welcome: Wii U 50 Fact Video

The mansion was a buzz with confusion as fighters made their way to the dining hall, which also functioned as the auditorium, once the tables had been removed.

“Whats going on?” The female Wii Fit Trainer asked aloud as she moved along with the throng.

“Well, you know how Master Hand hasn’t been around the mansion the last couple of days?” Peach decided to jump in, receiving a nod in response.

“Is he back?”

“Not sure, but we are getting a load of info about the upcoming tournament. He's likely off working on something special for it.” Peach explained.

“Really? I wonder what it is? He hasn’t been away from the mansion since the beginning when he was still handing out invitations. Do you think...?”

As the fighters finally took their seats, a surprising yet familiar voice boomed over the crowd.

“Welcome, everyone, to this surprise info session for the upcoming tournament.” The room exploded with curios whispers.

“The announcer?” It was easy to recognize his voice, they had heard it many times before, but never outside of matches or games. In fact, none of the fighters had ever met the announcer in person and far as they knew.

“The tournament is almost here yet little information has been given, so I, the announcer, has been instructed to let you in on some things that are not found in the current tournament. Master Hand would have been here to give you the information himself but he's busy with something very special, so I've been called in to help. But, not all fighters are here I see.”

This led to the fighters glancing around the room, curious to see who was missing. Then, all attention was called to the door as it noisily opened, silencing the crowd. The first to appear, as she squeezed her way through the door, was a familiar ball of cuteness.

“Pika, pika!” Called an existed Pikachu as he hopped over to his friend.

“Jig? Jigglypuff!” The balloon Pokemon greeted happily, waving her stubby little arms in the air.

“Pi, pikachu! Pika pika pi?”

“Jigg jiggly. Jigglypuff puff.” And so continued the conversation of which most fighters couldn’t understand. So they then turned there attention to the two others entering the room, both recognized faces.

Toon Link was the only other to jump from his chair to greet the returnees, though he was only interested in one. A fierce hug came to the shorter of the arriving fighters, nearly knocking him over. Ness was finally back, granting Toon Link another child friend to play with.

The other returner received glares from the two adult Hylians in the room. The only positive reaction to his arrival came in the form of a nod and grunt of welcome from King Dedede.

“Is it only you three?” The announcer asked as Ness was dragged to a chair by Toon Link's. Ganondorf simply nodded in the direction of the stage, as that was where the voice seemed to be coming from. Before the enthusiastic announcer could say another word, Ganondorf shrugged to indicate that he didn't know where the others where.

“Well, that's problematic.” The announcer though to himself. As Ganondorf made his way to Bowser, not particularly a friend but a common villain, the announcer ordered helpers to go find the missing fighters. “Not much else I can do. On with the show I suppose.”

Though the meeting ran long, there was close to never a moment of disinterest in the crowd. Every subject lead to a comment or two which would no doubt turn into a full discussion after the session. Near the end of the info extravaganza, Bowser noticed something. A familiar tuft of hair go by the window. Curiosity got the best of him so the Koopa King excused himself to see if his suspicions where true, and what do you know, they where. There, in a loud group, were his 8 kids. It didn’t take long for one of them to spot him, Ludwig to be specific, and so followed all attention turning to their parent.

“Papa!”

“Daddy!”

“Father.”

“Dad!” They all called as they ran up to Koopa King.

“Kids! What are you doing here?” Bowser asked with a light laugh.

“I came to hel-”

“We came to help you in the tournament.” Morton intruded, pushing Wendy aside.

“We got one of those letters from that big hand that gives you yours.” Larry explained as he forced his way to the front.

“I got the invitation, they're just tagging.” Bowser Junior proclaimed.

“Heeey!”

“Are not!”

“Are so!” Bowser couldn’t help but let out a hardy laugh at his children's bickering.

“Ether way,” Bowser said, calling silence to the kids.

“The Koopa family will rise above all these goody two shoes. Where gonna run this tournament!” And so followed a family cheer.

Back inside the make shift auditorium, the presentation was coming to an end. Little did the fighters know, the best was saved for last, or at least the most influential.

“And now, for a special announcement.” The announcer said, bringing quiet to a group that thought the assembly was over. “As a lot of you know, Master Hand has been absent the past few days. He is working on something that has never been done in a Super Smash Brothers tormentor before.” Suddenly the stage lit up, and slowly, a 3d model started to materialize from the ground up. For some, it took only a second to realize what it was, others needed more time. Some stayed in silent shock, some laughed, others spoke.

“I knew it!”

“What!?”

“Oh my god.”

“Finally!”

“No way.”

“Really?” Some couldn't help but scream.

Through the noisy the crowd, the announcer spoke.

“MewTwo is on the way, and will join the battle as a new fighter!” This brought on another wave of sound, almost overshadowing what the announcer needed to say next. Luckily many quieted down to hear the details. “However Master Hand is still in the process of coaxing this fighter to return, so MewTwo wont be arriving for quite some time. Where hoping to get him in spring of 2015, we'll keep you updated.” The whispers then continued. “Remember, the first opening of the tournament will be on the 21st of November in North America.”

“What?”

“North America first? It's usually Japan who gets the first opening.”

“The Next,  on November 28th in Europe, then Australasia the next day, and finally the 6th of December in Japan.”

“Wow, Japan is last?” The room exploded with comments and conversations. One silent fighter however, was lost in thought.”

“Whats up?” Ike asked his spaced out friend.

“It's just, MewTwo was in Melee but not Brawl and now he's coming back. What if Roy-”
