Wow, ok. Now where are your facts.
Where are yours? I just see the pattern as one huge concidence.

And what if we don't 3 newcomers in December. Then what? Are you guys gonna complain that you didn't get anything 'worthwhile' due the sole fact that you was expecting something based on a possible fluke?

What does scheduling have to do with mathematics and patterns?
0-0-0-3-0-3-0 is not a pattern.

I mean that I had seen all of their movesets before and it was boring at first. I know they play different first hand. I'm a Falco, Link, and Ganondorf main but I cannot play as any of their counterparts to save my life.
Fair enough, but similar movesets doesn't mean they "play exactly the same way," which is what you had said. I was just clarifying. I play Falco and Doc and not Fox and Mario, but I can play Falcon/Dorf and Link/Y.Link interchangeably just fine. Plus it seems you liked the clone characters better anyway. ;)

OK, sorry for tangent...

0 characters on the Dojo for November. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Not even a veteran. WTFUXUP, Sakurai?

I guess the pattern still holds, for now at least. Monday should decide it.

Pattern whores fail to realize that the so called 'pattern' has already been broken.

the pattern was really 3-3-3-3

3 veterans/already announced newcomers
3 newcomers
3 veterans/alread announced newcomers
3 newcomers
0 anybody

pattern broken, and theory owned.

And how the hell will only Monday decide it? There will be appromity be 20 updates on December. Who's to say the newcomer won't come until Tuesday? Or Friday.

Who to say that the three newcomers won't be revealed until the last week of December?

Fix'd.

We'll be lucky if we even get two character updates next month. Hell, if 3 newcomers are update on the Dojo next month, I'll eat my hat.

you should go back read the earlier pages of this thread... they already talked about those characters and how they dont count because they had no "new challenger banner" and/or were revealed earlier in the trailer.

and personally i think Krystal would be amazing in brawl.. and dec.3 is the perfect day for it!
nice find on the pattern, definately looks plausible and has yet to be disproved in any way.

No...

The pattern is...nothing.

3-6-4-4-3-3

3 veterans/already announced characters
6 veterans/already announced characters
4 veterans/already announced characters
1 veteran, 3 new newcomers
3 veterans/already announced characters
3 new newcomers
0 characters

When will people stop trying to "figure out" patterns and just learn to accept that Sakurai is completely unpredictable??

Were only getting one more character update. If its a third character, it will be revealed. If not, it'll be a public wanted character that will be a starter.

well maybe he was only planning to have a set pattern until december, when the game was to be released? And I think he said monday's supposed to decide because of something that said that in the newomer months that the first one was always on the first possible update.

There is no numerical pattern. All he's doing is releasing characters based on who's hidden or not. He's only releasing starters and third parties, which is why there has been such a long drought. There are probably only a couple more of those.

The Updates that will make this game the most awesome game in history is:

Move Editor
All-Star Mode
Music Importer/Editor
Some kind of Debug Mode [Without a cheating device]
Ridley
More Subspace Bosses
MasterHand Somehow Playable (If sakurai dosent put in Debug Mode)
And Yes, Megaman

Note: This is just an idea and i understand that debug mode is highly improbable.
Woh, what? Move Editor, Impossible. Music Importer/Editor, that'd be nice, but probably no. Debug Mode, I think not. Masterhand playable, I dont believe so...

Well, considering December 1st is a Saturday, that's probably not going to happen ;). (lol)I think you mean the third, but I'm hoping for something even bigger than a new character, and I just thought of the perfect thing!

The December 3rd update:

"Hello. Sakurai here. I will now be updating this site seven days a week, and every update will be a double update. Enjoy!"

Best... update... ever. (behind stage editor and wifi obviously)
I never thought of that, now I wish that was what it was.....

No offense, but I don't think Sakurai is making little secret patterns like this for no reason.
True, there is probably smoe hidden reason we don't know at all

Come on lucky pattern number 256! We're that far with trying to guess his patterns, right? :p

Anyway, I HOPE for a vet this month but I doubt it. Probably next month with that whole starting roster to be revealed on the 15th.
Wait.... what?

hmm...Not a bad theory, but I wonder what it means for the final roster size. I find it funny that we haven't gotten any characters at all in November (but we do have one more week). Now I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with who is or isn't unlockable. I'm not sure if your theory is correct, but if it IS correct, I'm guessing he's going to release all of the secrets before the release.

If your theory is correct then I'm worried that we may have already seen some of secrets already (besides Sonic and Snake) and that we may not be getting a large roster. I'll tell you why: If 3 more newcomers are revealed, some of them must be unlockables. I think the current roster has a great chance of being mostly starters, but if we got 3 more it seems more likely that he has already been unveiling the secrets. That means only a few more vets and 3 more newcomers (unless he continues to reveal secret characters after the release).

I'd prefer that this huge gap in between characters simply means that he has ran out of starters and he won't reveal most unlockables until right before or after the release (which would hint at an overall larger roster).
Good Job, nice theory!

I am beginning to think that he will reveal the starting rooster the 3rd before the Mag. does.
Wha-What? What are you talking about?


Oh, I see.....


Good Theory, but I personnally don't believe it. Good Thinking and such job though...

You're all so "ooh-no!-we-don't-have-an-other-character!-aah!-I-will-die!"... Atleast we get updates, there aren't a lot games which are hyped up this bad! ;)

Crap.


So much for today's "super awesome-rific update". I wanted a character so bad, but we got smacked with one of the most unnecessary updates ever.
From The ~December 3rd Update~ thread:
Pyroloserkid said:
Ok. I don't know if this has been brought up within tha past 14 pages, so I'll say it myself:

December 3rd was NORTH AMERICA's release date.
Not Japan's.
Not UK or Ireland's.
Not Germany's.
Not France's.
Not Spain's.
Not Italy's.

It WAS the release date of Canada, and the US.

As we all know, every single language or country gets the same update that we do, with a little tweaks here and there.

Why would December 3rd be a special update because it WAS OUR release date? It wasn't the realease date for the other SIX languages, so why would they get a special update directed at Canada and the US?


Monday's update won't be anything extraordinary, so don't get your hopes up.
Now for some funny:

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!1


Anyways:
August First = Newcomer.
September = No Newcomers.
October First = Newcomer.
November = No Newcomers.
December = ...according to the pattern a newcomer should appear on the first of December. Considering the first was Saturday, this pattern would be moved to the Third (Monday).

The pattern is broken?

Wolf ftw.

If there is any sort of pattern, there should be 3 newcomers this month.
But that would outnumber the veterans wouldn't it?

Sakurai has once again proved he acts in an absolute random way which knows no patterns. Sigh, I was really hoping for a character update.

Right behind you with a knife.
Hehe, why havn't you people figured it out by now? It's been so many months, and we've never had a real pattern, so linking coincidences won't help. The only thing you can tell is that Sakurai needs to stretch things out due to the delay. :O

Though I'm not a supporter, the root theory could still be true. We could still get 3 newcomers in December, but I highly doubt it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Sakurai's only "order" is revealing things that he wants to reveal. He's revealing mostly things that we'll have from the beginning. The delay and unlockables explain this character drought.
