Too bad. I was routing for Smearcian; glad it at least got an honorable mention from the motion staff.
Janusbot flew under my radar during the event, but that one looked pretty badass, too.
Man, we're running out of time to come up with easter-egg submissions, and the ONLY thing I can come up with involves snow...which I'm pretty sure isn't going to be on the island in question.
Gotta figure out something...

Eguchi and Kitabayashi made their case at a "green light" meeting with Capcom's big-wigs, and Kitabayashi
posted today that the verdict is...an extension. Not approved, not canned, just more time in concept.
I can only hope that this is just an attempt to light a fire under everyone's ass, so as to avoid the devs getting content, because words will never describe the pain I wish on those responsible if the game were to actually get cancelled.
News of this meeting really emphasizes to me, for better or worse, how truly disconnected the Devroomers are from the actual development. Did anyone on there know what steps were involved in not only creation but in approval, and where the game or "project" stood in relation to that? What checkpoints would be hit between the devroom opening and the game's release? Nope. We just got the little "%" number by the rocket with a few random Servbot conversations. Near every Devroom post has been about what's going on in the here and now, with very little as to what to expect.
Okay, they can't spoil the whole thing pre-release, I get that. But if they're going to ask for people's support, then they need to know what the hell it is that they're supporting, and what road they're committing to if they want to see it through.

Finally came up with an
easter egg submission. The event ends at noon on Tuesday, so hurry up, all!
I honestly intended that as just a "dig for spare change" kind of thing, like the shovel in Zelda LttP, but with the added chance to annoy random people/dogs. But then the "what-if"s started floating around in my head, and that last scene just fell together. Kind of a switcheroo on a tried-and-true Legends tradition.
