New Challenger for Smash Bros Wii U/3DS To Be Announced July 14th

[Dr. Bran]

At first I was thinking Shulk, because the next Direct (in Japan) will be 3rd party based, but then I forgot that this was not a Direct and OMIGERSH IMSOWASIGHTED!

 

[JDavisR (NIX)]

Ridley is too big to fit in a 3 minute video

Well played sir, well played.

 

[Nilok]

IS IT MONDAY YET

My god, Sakurai has us looking forward to Monday!
SAKURAI!!

 

[Gene]

Well this is hype. I should hibernate til Monday comes.

 

[Gene]

I hope it's not Krystal. :^)

 

[ender_idk]

In Ridley we ;

Mostlikelyshulkthough.................

 

[DrizzyDrew]

RIDDDDDDDLLLLLLEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[Mega Bidoof]

This would have to be a real hype builder if Sakurai had to give it it's own trailer separate from the direct.

I'm saying Ridley, K. Rool, or one of the Gematsu Trio.

 

[Sonovin]

I would like to emphasize on the word "New" But maybe they will have some veterans too as a bonus hopefully.

#MonadoMonday

Now it's Shulk time!

 

[Gene]

I still don't believe in that character leak. We'll just have to wait and see.

I hope it's a character that we wouldn't expect again.

SERIOUSLY!! Castlevania has been on Nintendo systems since the Nintendo was young and was a HUGE part of why I loved Nintendo growing up!

 

[RelaxAlax]

New Challenger huh?

 

[Jedisupersonic]

I eagerly await Monday.. except for the fact I return to job corps that day

 

[Pokemon Z RPG]

I'm really up to having most possible newcomers, but just please NO RIDLEY.

 

[Reality_Ciak]

Bottom of the stack of videos made.... Does that mean there could be newcomers that either don't get a video, don't have one yet, or we could get multiple characters in a single video? There should be secret characters.. Come on..

 

[mygamecube]

KRYSTAL

For the love of all that is the goddess Palutena....KRYSTAL!!!

 

[4cast]

The Director of Monolith Soft re Tweeted this so....
SHULK CONFIRMED!

 

[Deviddo]

You have it backwards; Chrom is the one who would disappoint. Shulk is plenty more hype inducing than Chrom for most.

I don't think that's very fair. Every character has their own fanbases and it's hard to say which has more "hype" than the other. The newcomer could be anyone, realistically, this is Sakurai.

 

[smashbroskilla]

It's ok Mr. Falcon. I still have hope for you.

 

[Tepig2000]

Ridley is coming guys...

 

[volbound1700]

I know people are going to hate this but with this much emphasis put on it, it almost sounds like a third party character.

Then again it could be Mewtwo. It has to be a character with a lot of hype as Sakurai and Smash Bros would not be putting this much focus on it.

 

[IanTheGamer]

Please be Krystal.

 

[Young Marth]

You guys don't understand this is a HUGE game changer. At this rate we could get all 3 of the last Gematsu characters BEFORE the game releases.

Fair enough. Chrom does have quite a large amount of vocal people who despise him simply for not being another character though. I have no problem with him, but I know many others that do.

 

[pupNapoleon]

The Director of Monolith Soft re Tweeted this so....
SHULK CONFIRMED!

yeah, that certainly does say something

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Expecting Shulk or Ridley. Or Cranky Kong.

 

[OptimistNic]

"Nearing the bottom of the stash" so we must be getting close to the end of new challengers.

 

[Z1GMA]

Sakurai is a genius.

 

[BlazeMelon5]

Im guessing Shulk, Isaac, or the Chorus Kids!

 

[shinhed-echi]

You guys don't understand this is a HUGE game changer. At this rate we could get all 3 of the last Gematsu characters BEFORE the game releases.

Just curious, how is this a game changer? If anything, we already know who's coming. Not sure what changes.

A game changer for me would be anyone outside the Gematsu being announced. Am I missing something?

 

[Oracle_Summon]

This is going to get the newcomer Support Threads booming.

The war of July 14th, many were slaughtered, some were given no mercy.

But one thing is for sure, we are getting a new character.

 

[XalchemistX]

the hype is killing me, it's even revealed on my birthday, best birthday present ever

Today is my birthday. The announcement was my present

 

[NFTsmasher]

Guys, this is what the video will be: slow build up with Metroid theme playing in background, then Ridley's theme starts playing, and then finally cut to the Pyrosphere stage in CGI where Ridley swoops in for an attack and smacks Samus across the stage, and then with no hope in sight "Anthony Higgs Saves the Day!" and zaps Ridley who then flies away...then cut to gameplay footage where Anthony gets a Smash Ball powerup for defeating the stage boss...then cut back to CGI where Anthony blows Ridley to kingdom come!

 

[タオー]

Expecting Shulk or Ridley. Or Cranky Kong.

Cranky Kong, pimp costume. WANT.

 

[Robin127]

Thinking it'll be Chrom. Hopefully he has a move set like Roy and Marth did in Melee

 

[Tollhouse]

Just curious, how is this a game changer? If anything, we already know who's coming. Not sure what changes.

A game changer for me would be anyone outside the Gematsu being announced. Am I missing something?

I hope we don't know all of what's coming. If the only newcomers remaining are all listed on that gematsu leak, I'll be very disappointed.

Hahahaha....no I don't think Sakurai would be that mean

 

[bkslider]

This is new... I like it. It seems like a pretty big deal to merit a livestream. Hopefully whoever is announced lives up to the hype.
