Since The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes’ announcement last week, the question has been raised about where the game falls within the overall Zelda timeline. Hiromasa Shikata, director of the project, seemed unsure about it when asked by Game Informer. If Nintendo of Canada’s Julie Gagnon is to be believed, Tri Force Heroes “is completely different and not in the timeline of Zelda.”

Masahiro Sakurai once again published a new column in the latest issue of Famitsu. In his piece, Sakurai writes about the new downloadable content that came to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS.

Details from the column can be found below. If you’d like a full translation, head on over to Source Gaming.

– Sakurai mentions that the 3DS “isn’t suited for successive downloads, and there are people who don’t have Wi-Fi in their homes and go to convenience stores to connect, so we made sure to put a lot of forethought into the process.”
– He’s amazed that Ryu is in Smash, and was excited to work on him
– Sakurai put a bunch of effort into the small details
– When putting Ryu in Smash, there are limits based on the number of buttons and the control scheme
– Composer Yoko Shimomura and illustrator AKIMAN each played a little bit of Ryu in Smash
– Shimomura exclaimed “Even I can do a Shoryuken!”
– AKIMAN was shocked, saying “are you sure it’s okay to make performing a Shoryuken so easy?”
– The thing that left an impression on Sakurai when making Roy was recording his lines
– Same actor from Melee (Fukuyama) was used
– Fukuyama remembered details from the recording session for Melee extremely well like the names for characters, and even the other actors
– Sakurai was happy about this since he’s an actor who’s done a ton of projects since Melee
– Lucas, Roy, and Ryu were made before the ballot was created
– Sakurai “had a grasp on their popularity and demand, though”
– “From now until the end, it is going to be fan service”
– Since Sakurai can’t keep the team together forever, there will only be several more characters
– Sakurai asks for fans’ patience in making more content

Fire Emblem Fates is now out in Japan and people have started dissecting it for every little detail. If you’re a fan of the series, one thing you’re probably interested in are the character’s stat growth rates, which obviously play a big role in determining how strong a character is. The folks over at Serenes Forest have already compiled the growth rates for all classes and characters , which you need to add together to obtain the full growths for a character in a given class. These links obviously contain spoilers for characters and classes, so click them at your own risk.

If you don’t feel like doing math, head past the break for a handy image of the full growth rates of the majority of characters in their starting class. Again, beware of spoilers.
