Nintendo is set to announce a new character for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS in just a few days. A new video, which is about 3 minutes long, will reveal the mystery character. Expect it on Monday. The video will be shown at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT.

Oh, by the way! I'd like to reveal a new challenger. Instead of doing the unveiling on something like a Nintendo Direct, we're going to live-stream the reveal on the official website on Monday, July 14, at 7:00 AM US Pacific Time (4:00 PM European Central Time). Looks like we're nearing the bottom of the stash of new challenger videos that we've made... Like always, we put a lot of effort into it, so I hope you'll enjoy watching it live.

Super excited!
Any predictions as to who it could be?

after a night like this...
UHM WARIO MUCH

****. Just. Got. Real.

Shulk obviously.

Any game with loads and loads of sidequests needs at least 3 minute newcomer video.

My reaction: http://youtu.be/bZTtO0rAvyk?t=37s

I'm hoping it's Shulk, but really, any character at this point is welcome. Especially Shulk.

 

[PLATINUM7]

You know it never ceases to amaze me how Nintendo always show this stuff the week after my holidays end

Anyway, could it really be a newcomer, just a month after E3?

 

[HylianRaider]

Really hoping it's Shulk personally. Whatever it is though i'm excited!

 

[andalsoandy]

Srsly tho I bet it's Shulk.

Twitter says it's a three minute video.

 

[dezeray112]

Interesting.

Spoiler

I wouldn't be too surprised if it is either Shulk, Chrom or the Chorus Kids to be honest.

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

WHAT

You have to be joking, no way they pull something like this off so soon.

THIS IS UNPOSSIBLE

 

[RedCap-BlueSpikes]

Please be Isaac, please be Isaac, please be Isaac...



It won't be Isaac, will it?

 

[TJ-Works]

I've never played or been interested in Fire Emblem or Xenoblade (...or Rhythm Heaven), so I'm hoping it turns out to be someone completely different.

Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike

Spoiler

 

[andalsoandy]

GUYS LOOK

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[ScottyWK]

3 minutes = 1 minute per chorus kid

Shulk can see the future. As of this post, the unveiling of the new character will be happening in the future. The word "future" ends with the letter 'e'. The word "eye" ends with the letter 'e'. Eyes are used to see. Shulk sees the future with his eyes.

Shulk confirmed.

 

[Reila]

Woah, that came out of nowhere. Judging by Sakurai's words, it seems like the character will be a newcomer and not a veteran.

I am anxious.

Spoilers everywhere.

Ridley is who I want revealed, but my gut tells me it will probably be a gematsu leak character...
What im annoyed is that I leave for vacation 3 hours before the livestream starts, and i'll be gone for a week, with there likely being no internet there, meaning i'll have to wait a week to see the reveal.

It's bound to be a newcomer. He's never had to announce veteran characters he revealed on Miiverse in the past.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

3 minutes and a 3 day notice? That sure is a first. All 3rd party newcomers are out the window too. Seems like they're throwing their biggest ball in the court.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

I do hope it's not a Gematsu leak. Even if it's real, I want something else.

My hope (that will be dashed at that time) would be Wario + Mona, or a Zelda trailer.

But if it's a big video... It's gonna be Ridley

Oh, also, the Charizard/Greninja trailer is 2:28 long, so whatever it is, I expect also a veteran.

 

[TJ-Works]

Actually, I just thought of something.

Anyone think there's a chance of a new veteran appearing in the trailer? Like Charizard in the Greninja reveal?

 

[KingBroly]

It's a Newcomer, confirmed by Sakurai on Miiverse.

I want it to just be the Chrous Men for the LOLs.

 

[andalsoandy]

It's at 10 AM EST... YEAH.
10 AM

SANTA'S COMIN' TO TOWN

Actually, I just thought of something.

Ice Climbers in the Chorus Men trailer xD

I do. The Greninja trailer is rather long, so it can happen, I guess.

(I want a long Zelda trailer to show Ganondorf changes! )



By the way, whatever it is, I'm probably going to enjoy it. More newcommers = more fun.

Nintendo's teasing a new character, not characters, so I don't think so

 

[andalsoandy]

edit: didn't mean to post this

It's Sakurai we're talking about.

Maybe he "forgot" to put a plural on the word character.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Added Sakurai's Miiverse post to the OP. The fact that they're 'nearing the bottom of the stash of newcomer challenge videos' is sad to hear. I guess we might only have the Gematsu characters left

 

[Spazzy_D]

If it is a a Gematsu newcomer, then Shulk or Bust.

Although..... 3 minutes.... that's an awfully BIG trailer.

 

[RedFly]

Okay let's not get ridiculous!

im still hopeful, rosalina wasnt on gematsu

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

I feel like the lengthy trailer will be for a character that has multiple forms or can switch between 2+ characters, despite Sakurai's prior decisions to split characters like this.

And no I'm not referring to Chorus Kids dammit.

 

[fogbadge]

itll be the last character any of us expect

 

[Phaazoid]

It's Sakurai we're talking about.

so he forgot a character? xD

My hopes
1. Ridley - biggest

2. Not Gematsu (Isaac, K. Rool, Ray01, anyone... >.>) - pls pls pls (not saying I don't want them in, but if it is then they're probably the only ones left)

3. Shulk - if it's gotta be a gematsu, this guy'd probably be the most hype

 

[Deleted member]

What if this is all just a hoax

 

[KingBroly]

Remember, Sakurai originally said not every newcomer would get a video.

 

[TheDMonroeShow]

Rev up those hype trains because I'm ready for some shulk!

 

[Cap'nChreest]

If it is a a Gematsu newcomer, then Shulk or Bust.

Although..... 3 minutes.... that's an awfully BIG trailer.

I see what you did there...

 

[TheAnvil]

Something about the way that's worded definitely sounds like there are newcomers without videos too.

But yeah, fingers crossed for K. Rool!

If it has to be a gematsu, then I hope it's Chorus Men, because both of the other characters are completely undesirable to me. I want my newcomers to be unique, not more of the same.
