Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[BluePikmin11]

I think we'll get at least 2 new characters for the broadcast, 80% chance IMO.
3 new characters IMO would be 60%.
4 new characters 40%.
4+ is a 15% for me.

I can't predict Sakurai, but I'm sure the content we'll be getting is huge.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I'm still very upset I won't get to watch this live. Almost want to leave my phone at home that day so I don't spoil it for my self accidentally.

I want that hype of Cloud all over again.

 

[Dravidian]

So...

How likely would you rate...

At least 2 characters?
At least 3 characters?
At least 4 characters?

Including Cloud:

• 100%
• 99%
• 20%

Not including Cloud:

1. 99%
2. 20%
3. 5%

 

[SlickWylde]

Chances:

Cloud 0%
2 Characters 0%
3 Characters 0%

Game deleted off your Wii U 100%

Don't worry! All you have to do is not go on the internet at all ever for the remainder of your day.

Totally easy, right? Not like we're all connected to it almost all the time or anything :V

 

[CroonerMike]

Chances:

Cloud 0%

Now here is a real post. This is the most likely situation.

 

[egaddmario]

Chances:
2 Characters (+ Cloud for 3): 100% There's still slots open. I don't think a third would have been added if it wasn't intended on being used.
3 Characters (+ Cloud for 4): 20% I'm keeping my hopes pretty low. That being said, 4 could be wrapped up as a 2nd character pack to go along with Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy, and Ryu's 1st pack.
4 Characters (+ Cloud for 5): 5% I just flat out don't see this as likely. I'd love to be wrong though.

Hope you're ready to eat some shoes

 

[Chrono.]

Oh wow, I just found out VGC is allowing box Legendaries.

Which includes Rayquaza

Which means M.Rayquaza

See where I'm going here

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Let me put a realistic percentage here:

Have all the money needed to get DLC should it come post direct: 0%

 

[Shadowwolflink]

It's nice to keep your expectations low and everything, but come on guys, this is most likely the end of Smash 4 DLC, I'm pretty sure we're getting 4 more characters. They just won't all come out any time soon.

 

[A Distant Demon]

So it seems that some people think there will be more DLC announcements after this. Just that this is the last direct but not the end of DLC. More announcements in general directs and such.

Interesting.

 

[Shroob]

Surprised no one's done it yet.


IT'S THE FINAL DI-RECT!

Do do do do, do do do do do....

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

So @PushDustIn is that google hangout thing still happening?

 

[AncientTobacco]

So something worth noting. The SK amiibo got delayed until after the direct. For a character that does not belong in Smash, he surely looks more likely every day.

QQ

Am I missing something? I thought pretty much all of the tinfoil theories regarding him have been disproven at this point, and the supposed deadline has long passed.

And for god's sake the amiibo stuff means absolutely nothing. It's not coming out in America until next year because they want to have a sufficient amount at lauch, and only select retailers have delayed it in Europe (without Yacht Club even knowing, apparently).

 

[A Distant Demon]

Convenient timing is conveneient

Would play the **** out of "Boogie-Woogie Innocence"

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

Surprised no one's done it yet.


IT'S THE FINAL DI-RECT!

Do do do do, do do do do do....

Wait are you doing a parody of the next episode?
Because if you are, here are some more lyrics,
Its the one and only W-O-L-F Snoop Wolf!

Note my expectations are low, here are the three most likely reactions I'll have after seeing the direct,

Spoiler

Direct rating: A

Direct rating: F

Direct rating: C

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Woah hold up, KAMIYA voiced Godot?

Ok, that's pretty cool

 

[Arcanir]

Oh wow, I just found out VGC is allowing box Legendaries.

Which includes Rayquaza

Which means M.Rayquaza

See where I'm going here

I think I have an idea of that...

The scary thing is, Mega Rayquaza isn't the only one to be worried about either, the Primals and Xerneas are going to be crazy to deal with as well. This is either going to have players come up with a very creative strategies around this very powerful threats, or... Well, lets just say that previous VGCs will look completely varied compared to what our new Primal and dragon overlords have in mind.

 

[Z25]

Chances:

Cloud 0%
2 Characters 0%
3 Characters 0%

Game deleted off your Wii U 100%

This right here is a very solid prediction! But my Source is Nintendo Antarctica and they said that afterwards your games will be replaced with the new Melee HD. Enjoy my good friend Fox!


Now as for my odds:
2 characters: (this is in addition to cloud) 100%
3 Characters: 30%
4 Characters: 10%

Although I could see:

I'm telling you guys. 2 others with Cloud. Models of the ballot choices.

Trailers for those will be scattered throughout 2016.

this happen at abouut a 60% chance. I wouldn't be surprised if this was like the 50 facts direct and they pulled off new modes, new characters, maybe add on to dlc with customs, and more. I also see new amibo and more. Perhaps a tease at Smash Bros NX to( but I wouldn't hold my breathe on that one)

Now my character picks: (if there are 2 more with cloud that day)
Wolf and shovel Knight. I'll be honest I feel it would need more hype, which is why I have option B:
In additon to those in Option A, We get models as Roger stated for Inklings or K Rool( take your pick) another third party( again take your pick, mine is Banjo) and another un repped series. If inklings happen, I would choose either golden sun or the W101. (let me dream!)

That about wraps up my thoughts.

PW:AA Dancing game spinoff confirmed!

...Hey, if Persona and Yokai Watch can get away with it, so can AA.

 

[BluePikmin11]

One thing is for sure, there will certainly be a ton of new Smash reveals.

....

A skele-ton.

...

It's been a long time coming, now we finally see the end of DLC on its own.
With developing Smash DLC as of late..

....

Sakurai has been down to the bone.

...

If he's going to impress all of us in the Smash broadcast with all of his work...

....

Sakurai will have to put more backbone into the execution.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So it seems that some people think there will be more DLC announcements after this. Just that this is the last direct but not the end of DLC. More announcements in general directs and such.

Interesting.

I mean...

It's relying on a technicality.

Entirely possible though. Nothing to really prove its impossible.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Xenoblade X will actually lower a boss's level should you have too much difficulty beating them. That's...Awfully nice. At least I know I should grind another 15 levels or so now. Also, I don't think anyone would expect the spoilers in Chapter 5. Jesus christ I can't believe they pulled that off

 

[Senselessbreak]

So Borderlands has an easter egg where you go down a pipe into a Mario inspired level. Surely they have been hinting at a Smash cross over all along.

You know who else makes a cameo in Borderlands?

Spoiler

Minecraft

Spoiler

Steve confirmed

 

[Pazzo.]

Woah hold up, KAMIYA voiced Godot?

Ok, that's pretty cool

Funny coincidence: I have both Godot as my avatar and Amaterasu in my sig.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

So...

How likely would you rate...

At least 2 characters?
At least 3 characters?
At least 4 characters?

2: 0%
3: 0%
4: 0%

 

[Strofirko]

Now there is this new upgrade meme,that I barely understand.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

I'm telling you guys. 2 others with Cloud. Models of the ballot choices.

This. I don't understand why people don't think this is possible.

 

[Champ Gold]

Oh wow, I just found out VGC is allowing box Legendaries.

Which includes Rayquaza

Which means M.Rayquaza

See where I'm going here

Mega Rayquaza is the Akuma of competitive Pokemon and balance in general with that series.
M
He's the one that should be fighting Agumon in Death Battle instead of

 

[TheAnvil]

So...

How likely would you rate...

At least 2 characters?
At least 3 characters?
At least 4 characters?

At least 2: 100%
At least 3: 50%
At least 4: 20%.

New feature confirmed for FE Fates!
I need to hold back looking at spoilers
I know it will be worth it when I get the game
It's just a question if I have to hold back until christmas or next year

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

C'mon Sakurai!

 

[Z25]

if your going to fight a mega rayquazza, bring a multiscale, assault vest dragonite. Dragon Rush will easily mess them up.

 

[TheAnvil]

I'm telling you guys. 2 others with Cloud. Models of the ballot choices.

I feel like people are too willing to overlook this as a possibility. I see this as a scenario as just as likely as "Here's 2 more characters guys, they're all out today, kthxbye".
Though not "Scattered throughout 2016", I can't see DLC going beyond Q1 2016 at the latest.

 

[Z25]

C'mon Sakurai!

While we're all getting hyped for the presentation coming up next week, this is the perfect remix to fill your hype meters.

This remix has been posted several times, but its such a bad*** remix that you kind of have to.

is this a battle spot event, or did they change the ruleset?

It's the ruleset for this year's Video Game Championship
