Not bad enough for Etika to not make a video about it :V

Seriously, where is that man's revenue going to come from when Smash is all done?
Splatoon. But remember what Burb Burb sai, once a stupid leak pops up after Smash DLC ends and people are pushing that more characters are happening, Etika will be first to push it and report that garbage

Does anyone even know if Smash was part of last night's or tonight's maintenance?

So far, I'm hearing it's not.
IT was listed last night for having it, and supposedly it's coming back for more maintenance tonight.

Sauce? Because I've seen nothing of the sort in regards to anything Smash related.

I have a recommendation:
If something was to leak before the direct, it would be a good idea to let people know (without spoilers, of course) in the thread title.

Please consider staying. You're nice
See, now I feel bad for sounding like I am begging to be asked to stay. -w- I apologize.

However, thank you, Anna. I have not decided yet, but I only showed up here because of Smash 4, and I feel I wouldn't really do much good here when Smash 4 is finished. Plus, don't worry, Anna, there are plenty of nice people here as it is. XD

You're one of the more gentle people on the forum tho

Then idk.

No sites reported on Smash maintenance now that I'm looking, it's just weird now that a list pops up and Smash is nowhere to be found.
Yeah it is weird.

Sidenote:

Anyone able to trade me a 5iv treecko in ORAS or XY? I can trade a 5iv or even 6iv spheal for it.

We discussed this yesterday. It actually came before the text and picture leaks. Still cool trailer and has some neat ideas in it.

Isn't maintenance done? It might not start till tomorrow actually.
I figured it was, I just wasn't going to wade through 20+ pages of posts to see if it had already been mentioned (and I figured other people may not have seen it either). Plus, it was also in reference to my previous post complaining about text leaks.

Besides, I would never attempt to take credit for discovering news first. I leave that to all the expert news hunters in this thread. Much more on point (and entertaining) than searching Google news. Most of the "news" there is either click bait or weeks/months oldl.

It never said Smash. That's what I'm saying. But it also said the network as a whole was getting matinance so... I don't know anymore lmao.
Alright, we will learn of the maintenance for smash eventually, the longer we go without it the better! This way we won't have any leaks or very little if they do happen.

I have no idea how to reply to that without making it sound even more like I am begging for attention, so I'll just say, thank you kindly, Anna. I am not sure if that is true, but it did cheer me up. XD

An now I'd feel like a jerk to leave anyways, haha. I may become a little less active, but I guess I should keep up with this place for now. Just in case.

Yeah if something leaks it should be put up in the title (a warning that is) but it's also just sort of tempting the fates being on this site in the first place in the next like 25 hours.

I'm gambling right now just by coming on here. Cloud reminded me how much I actually like Smash surprises.
Though part of that was just me being happy over getting Cloud. :p

But the longer we go without, the less likely Cloud is available after the Direct.

Sakurai said relevancy matters, meaning Isaac would be a surprise :p

I don't want anyone to leave D:
This feels like the ending of one of those shows where all the main characters part into their own way and never meet again and it just feels sad
C'mon, Smash isn't the only thing this thread is about
It's about a bunch of weebs talking about animes, people making shameless plugs play EO and occasionaly getting into pointless arguments and this is exactly why we all love each other

In that case...

Shovel Knight would be better than Banjo Kazooie

btw, are we still doing the dating sim or not?

With this being the final Smash show, it''ll also mean the last of new YouTube Poops of these Directs...

Let's see if we'll get one as good as these:

The only character I'm fairly convinced we'll be seeing is Wolf, so any other character will end up surprising me. Even the ones I think are decently likely.

At this point getting Isaac will surprise me quite a bit. I could see getting a Mii costume of him though. Which I'd take partial credit for helping happen. xD

There are a few reasons I think Ridley is a still possibility.
The first- this is the longest amount of time Sakurai has spent working on the roster of a game. He has stated he doesn't think about it between game development (though I still think that is questionable), and also, that he makes his rosters very early on in the development cycle. Instead, he started conceiving of extra characters for this game, if the ballot is in any way influential at all, as far back as a year ago with Mewtwo.
With that in mind, we also know that Sakurai is in support of Ridley as a character. He has stated he wants to stay true to the character, and has involved Ridley in every game to date. As with other characters, in between development, Sakurai has changed his mind regarding "If a character can work." All has taken was the right inspiration.
If, after this longest cycle of development, Sakurai is inspired, he won't ignore adding Ridley just because he "previously couldn't see him working." If he gets the vision, its going to happen.

Now, will he be inspired? Maybe. Not only has he had much time to consider characters, he has also, potentially been asking the audience for ideas on how to make characters work. If he managed a gander, somehow, at a Ridley that he felt work, he could be as inspired as he needs. Not exactly straw grasping to suggest maybe, the poll did have some validity in some capacities.

All that said, I do expect the attempt at something unexpected. But who knows?

When did he even do the interview?
Also I think its time for an interesting bet, so here's the bet. If Wolf gets announced as a playable character tomorrow, I will change my avatar to this for a week,

However if Wolf doesn't get announced as a playable character tomorrow, You will have to change your avatar to this,

So who's in?

I decided to make my own Bingo board for Direct since other people are giving it a shot.

In order to create the authentic Burb experience, most of it is based around negativity, salt, and broken dreams!

Since we're little over 24 hours away from the broadcast....



Here's an alternate bingo board.

This one is the complete opposite of the first. Overly optimistic, unrealistic expectations, and stuff people think is inevitable.

At this point it's less "who I want in" and more "who will piss off the fanbase less". It's harder than you'd think.

I can see Ridley happening.
Next game.

The only way I can see Ridley happening is through some visual tweaking, which I don't think they'll take the time to do for DLC.

I'm just really busy. And I might have to cancel the contest. Your level might be the last video I make.
What? You decide to give up? But......I really liked you're video. :(

lol almost nobody wants Anna, I personaly forget about her when considering Smash characters most of the time. Then again, Geno. Which one of these would you actually want Burb? I'm curious

Doesn't Sub already have a bet about this?

This is just a personal bet. Plus mines got more spice added to it. (Teletubbies)
