^^^ Yup. And Asia.
Well about half of Asia at least, most of China isn't getting killed (probably 6 AM at earliest=guess), Korea, and some other countries, and Japan is definitely not getting a bad side of this. :laugh: ;) :)

Actually, Africa and Europe have it the worse=stinks for them! :mad:

Step 1: go to google
Step 2: searh for "time zones"
Step 3: Find out the difference in hours between Japan and where you live.
Step 4: ?????
Step 5: Profit

Well I think this interesting development may help keep other threads alive, as well as give us an advantage over those darn Nsider n00bs. Nsider sites>SWF, simple as that. Anyone else playing Link'a Awakening=friggen awsome game, even if I beat it like 6 years ago or something like that. It still owns, like me vs. one of those Nsider n00bs at smash=yae!

I just hope they don't add another week at the last minute.

Ya that would suck, but for 12 hours or so, expect to see either the 1 day thing still up, or 0 days remaining, or some crap like that. We've got another 24 3/5 hours to go, so I think I'll be good waiting with Melee, and since Melee is friggen awsome, I'll have a awsome time waiting! ;)

South Park for the win.

Anyways, we can all wait an extra 12 or so hours, give or take whenever they feel like updating. How great will it be after all this time of nothing to actually, potentially, possibly get some good solid official news.

Gogatsu Nijuuninichi Gogo, Sumaburaken ga rinyuuaru oopunshimasu.

"On May the 22nd, in the afternoon, Smash Bros. Dojo will reopen (renewal open?)."

Or something like that. Whenever the Japanese use English loanwords, it actually gets harder to understand. "Renewal open" doesn't make much sense in english.

so just give this straight to me:

if the site usually updates at 10 AM, and there is a 12 hour hold, would it update at 10 PM???

As a note, this doesn't say anything about a twelve hour hold. It doesn't even give a specific time. It only says "afternoon." Suffice to say, we've got 24 hours, give or take.

Maaaaan it's going to be so a loooooong day waiting...

I hope it's worth waiting. For me in Spain 12.00 is 5.00 am (ouch), so I will get up on Tuesday a little earlier (xD), with fresh news.

We're anticipating this so much, what if there's a site launch and there isn't really so much new info?

I know it's a horrible thing to say, but someone give me solid proof that there would be some solid news when the site launches.

Ok...so it'll be Monday night for us here on the East Coast?

I thought.....well, what I thought WASN'T the correct time difference....

EDIT: And to the guy above me...seriously, if it's not NEW information, and it's just additional pics of the same [11] characters we know already, it wouldn't need a week countdown timer for a relaunch of the site.

Sad but apparently true. Makes sense, though. You don't want your huge commercial explosion to be on while good kids should be in bed. Or in school, depending on where you live.

On the other hand, that way it'll start at a time when the rest of the world should be in bed... hehe. Evil!
America isn't "the rest of the world". In China, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Norht Korea, Australia, New Zealand, etc. it'll open at a good time.

Afternoon is, well, after noon (12 PM). Since noon is 12 hours after midnight, the time the site has been counting down (in Japan), we then know that we will wait an additional 12 hours. They dont need to tell us this... <_<

The thing is, its a 12 hour minimum. Afternoon can be something like 2 or 4 PM, at which time it will be around midnight in the US and very early morning in Europe. We just dont know...

I doubt that Nintendo would intentionally hold back information from the japanese,especially when it's in demand.

I'm preety sure that 12:00 PM Japan time is reasonable...it's a great time to release the information,so that even if it isn't on the net immediatly,it can still be ready for the afternoon shift.

True enough, but other than Australia, the countries you mentioned hardly have a strong Smash following. Had you mentioned Europe (not sure if they'd be in bed at that time) that would have made more sense. Peace.

Visiting from above.
STOP MAKING TOPICS ABOUT HAVING NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.

Go read a book or something. Seriously, there are about a MILLION things you could do RIGHT NOW that have NOTHING to do with wasting our forum space and seriously getting on my nerves by TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT.

Am I the only person who finds that just a LITTLE bit ridiculous?

We will have news TOMORROW. So, TOMORROW, feel free to talk about whatever news is revealed. TODAY, please refrain from referring to TOMORROW outside of the already-designated topic for doing so, which is already one topic too many.

Jesus Christ.
