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

[LIQUID12A]

Perhaps even a certain earth-themed fighter in blue with great Western fan demands and with a Smashified artwork?!

Spoiler: wrong character

Fits all the criteria.

 

[Dravidian]

It seems that my dream about a direct announcement came true.......now we just need to wait 48 hours and 30 minutes.
[waiting intensifies]

 

[BluePikmin11]

I see all these newcomers suggested, but all I can feel is deja vu hype and another surprise reveal.
I don't care who's revealed now at this point.

And by surprise, you either mean a character tons of people wanted world-wide or an iconic third-party character few thought had a good chance?

 

[Wario Bros.]

I ain't predicting any character to be revealed.

No reason to be hype for a character that probably won't happen.

You mean like Shovel Knight?

 

[BluePikmin11]

Here's one question for you, did the direct drought really change your expectations with Smash characters entirely?

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Here's one question for you, did the direct drought really change your expectations with Smash characters entirely?

No. I still think Wolf is likely and I still think the indies have no plausible chance, being more likely to be represented as Mii costumes.

 

[Luigi The President]

Most likely...

Wolf / K. Rool / Paper Mario OR Bandana Dee

I think those'll be revealed in the Direct. I can back this up, if you want me to.

 

[FalKoopa]

Here's one question for you, did the direct drought really change your expectations with Smash characters entirely?

No, because Smash had nothing to do with the drought. The drought was caused by Iwata's death, which shouldn't affect anything Smash-wise.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

What if we get Dixie Kong with a few similarities to Diddy, comparable to Wolf to Fox?

 

[Luigi The President]

And by surprise, you either mean a character tons of people wanted world-wide or an iconic third-party character few thought had a good chance?

OH MY GOD, IS HE FINALLY GONNA BE IN?!

 

[Champ Gold]

You mean like Shovel Knight?

Nope. Starman because everyone loves wrestling.





Or Wonder Red. Always bet on Wonder Red

 

[Mikegamer0608]

No. I still think Wolf is likely and I still think the indies have no plausible chance, being more likely to be represented as Mii costumes.

inb4 Issac is a mii costume and Blue goes on a Sakurai man hunt.

 

[Shroob]

Literally the only thing this Direct needs to give us to be great.

Slopes in Mario Maker.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

inb4 Issac is a mii costume and Blue goes on a Sakurai man hunt.

I'm not very vicious or murderous, nor do I know where Sakurai even lives.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm not very vicious or murderous, nor do I know where Sakurai even lives.

I'd imagine you going to Sakurai, insulting him in a very polite manner, and then challenging to a duel in Smash. Sakurai quickly released a patch so his main did 999% damage every move, the ****

 

[Luigi The President]

I wonder if anyone thinks Anna will be in alongside Shovel Knight

This is a weird and specific thought, but I feel like someone out there..

 

[FalKoopa]

And by surprise, you either mean a character tons of people wanted world-wide or an iconic third-party character few thought had a good chance?

This man meets the criteria pretty well.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

This man meets the criteria pretty well.

Wasn't there a rumour floating around concerning his VA?

 

[Soul.]

I can care less who's confirmed and who isn't. Just show Smash news in general.
Which will then end up being in "MORE! MORE!".

 

[FalKoopa]

Wasn't there a rumour floating around concerning his VA?

That was from IMdb and anyone can edit IMdb (like Wikipedia), so it was false.

 

[Chrono.]

That was from IMdb and anyone can edit IMdb (like Wikipedia), so it was false.

There was also those suspicious tweets from the VA that were apparently fake but were actual real according to that Layton4Smash twitter guy whose name escapes me.

Wasn't Layton4Smash Rogersbase?

 

[SonicMario]

OH MY GOD, IS HE FINALLY GONNA BE IN?!

Clearly Master Hand has been him the whole time :V

 

[Icedragonadam]

People and Smash Bros news in general.

But also Vaati Hyrule Warriors Vaati Vaati Vaati!

 

[TheAnvil]

The more I think about it, and the more time that goes on, the more I think that Wolf isn't coming home.

 

[Chrono.]

Wasn't Layton4Smash Rogersbase?

No I just checked and the guy who runs it is @Martingale

I also checked his post regarding Layton's VA tweets

Still though, doesn't change the fact that the leak originated from IMDB, that alone makes it fake.

 

[Mikegamer0608]

The more I think about it, and the more time that goes on, the more I think that Wolf isn't coming home.

They could still promote Wolf for the possible Star Fox Zero trailer in the direct.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

So, I was hanging out with this girl. It was all fun and everything

We come back to our cars

And we both had parking tickets

 

[True Blue Warrior]

They could still promote Wolf for the possible Star Fox Zero trailer in the direct.

No DLC character has been used as promotional tools. This is coming from someone who still believes Wolf has a good chance.

Well nonetheless most of us believe Wolf could be shown Thursday.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Well nonetheless most of us believe Wolf could be shown Thursday.

I do too.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Direct announced.
Raining like crazy.
Slightly ahead of my work (barely)
just played some Alistar on ARAM
and a dude covered Megalovania

Today is a good day.

 

[Shroob]

The more I think about it, and the more time that goes on, the more I think that Wolf isn't coming home.

I'm starting to as well. I have a feeling that Sakurai doesn't seem to like how Wolf turned out in Brawl.

 

[Zane13pyro]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm when is the direct...... sorry

 

[Ivander]

Oh hey, a Direct. Now when is the next one happening?

Literally the only thing this Direct needs to give us to be great.

Slopes in Mario Maker.

*looks at Mario Maker stage* Soon.....

 

[redroses]

Ahhh! I am so excited!
I don't even care what they show, I am just so happy that one is happening.
I do of course hope for Splatoon DLC news, Pokemon Z teaser, and a teaser for a ballot smash character.
But I just look forward to it.

 

[Shroob]

I'm going to say it now. If Star Fox Zero gets a release date announced, and Wolf is not shown, then it's up to the ballot.

 

[Kenith]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm when is the direct...... sorry

You could literally find out from a quick Google search or browsing this thread.
