Wait they get to play as the newcomers from e3 and a unrevealed newcomer???!!! The bias is starting to show

I don't think they can play as them all it more looks like a flyer just to show the whole game.

ah it could be. Though this basically confirms they are revealing someone at this event. So place your bets everybody

 

[Second Power]

I'm putting money on Chorus Kids/Men. It's a Japan only event, their fanbase is primarily Japanese, if they're going to reveal him, this even would be better than a direct (America: "Who the hell are these guys?'). Though, the other Gematsu newcomers have large Japanese fanbases as well. But, they also have western ones as well, while RH doesn't, so while it could be any other them, I'm going with Chorus Kids.

I'd also like to put money on some people still disbelieving Sal if Chorus Kids are revealed.

Actually the same argument could be used for Shulk, especially because Xenoblade is a rare and expensive game in the U.S. My bets are personally on Shulk, but as always we'll just have to wait and see.

Good lord, it's Pac Man's reveal all over again.

I'm not saying we're getting a reveal though. Could just be flavor text like "Who do you think's going to be revealed next?"
Also because we just got 3 this month already.

Shulk's game is rare and expensive here because the relatively few copies which got made flew off the shelves.

 

[FinalStarmen]

When is this event?

Edit: Oh. Well, that is the end of that.

 

[domokl]

Hmm if a newcomer is revealed here then one in the august direct then that would mean only one secret newcomer besides the third parties which leads me to believe there is more than gematsu.

 

[Arcanir]

When is this event?

The event already started, and as far as the playable roster is concerned, the characters they have are the exact same ones we did at E3, so no new additions.

As seen in the magazine we are probably getting a new character out of this as that has way too many ? To be random and they wouldn't promote random like that

 

[Staarih]

Apparently it's more of a generic statement along "this isn't all the playable characters" (which is obvious) and the question marks just represent all the not-yet-revealed characters. There's no indication we'll get anyone in this specific event. Thus, I don't expect anyone.

 

[Arcanir]

I wouldn't count on it. According to @ Venus of the Desert Bloom , those fliers have been given out as a preorder bonus for over a week now, so it's not special to the event. On top of that, the box just says "There are still participating characters that have yet to be revealed," which sounds more like it's just a reminder that this is not the full roster rather then a tease for this particular event.

So I would be skeptical of any character announcement.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

That flier has nothing to so with the event. It doesn't even mention the event in the flier. I got a free copy if it for preordering the 3DS last week. And has Arcanir said, the caption under the question mark reads "There are characters that have yet to be revealed."

Again, this flier has no bearing on a character reveal tomorrow.

 

[Gunla]

Don't give yourself too much hype, folks. Look at what Arcanir and Venus said.

A reveal could certainly happen, but that doesn't mean it will. I'm banking on a no, but if it happens, it's a nice surprise. As for whom if they did reveal, it's really likely for them to reveal Chorus Men/kids/whatever at an event like that, but seeing how it's mostly Japan only, I can't see it happening. Probably because it's a weekend and we just got an influx of info at E3 this month. Maybe a veteran or something, but a newcomer sounds like a pipe dream. The flier itself simply confirms there's more characters to come, if that wasn't obvious enough.

Another pointer is how the three third parties say "guest" next to their name. More of a signification that they'll be solely representing their series in my opinion...

So, where did you preorder the game? I want me one of those fliers.

Here in Japan.

Probably from Japan, where he/she lives. :V

I may be delusional, but I swear I see a face when I look close enough at the ? slot. Does anyone else see it?

Yeah, I probably should have looked at that. Well, looks like I can't get one, but whatever.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

People are getting too hyped up for this. I want a newcomer or reveal as much as the next smash fan, but more than likely it isn't gonna happen this weekend.

I agree with this, but more importantly, we've got enough reveals to cover this month already

No.
You're going crazy.

It's just a reflection on the glass

 

[Leafeon523]

Thanks. This was driving me bonkers.

 

[Autumn ♫]

Probably Krystal, Chrom, or Shulk.

Why any of those 3?

 

[FalKoopa]

If we do end up getting a character, it'll be a veteran. Pretty nice way to end the month, I'd say.

 

[Rockaphin]

who is extremely popular in Japan that could be revealed?

• King K. Rool
• Mewtwo
• Shulk
• Roy

 

[ultimatekoopa]

Probably Krystal, Chrom, or Shulk.

Why would they reveal Krystal on this event if she is in the game?

 

[ppbto]

If we'll get a character and it's a newcomer I think it'll be Shulk, but I'm more inclined to a veteran reveal.

 

[Pacack]

Any characters that you all want to see nerfed other than Meta Knight?
Personally, I think Marth needs a nerf.

If the demo is any indication, Marth is trash now. They killed his aerial game and increased his lag ridiculously.

Personally, I'm kinda sad they nerfed him. He used to be a very solid character because his playstyle rewarded precision. It wasn't because his build was really broken or anything. I mean, he was still above average with his build too, but he didn't need to be nerfed so badly.

I'm quite the opposite, I think he needed more lag as I think he was a bit too safe especially with the range he had.

Also, I'm tired of seeing Marth, Falco, and Fox dominating the metagame.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Explain to me why Marth of all characters needed a nerf. He was never broken and brain-dead.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

• King K. Rool
• Mewtwo
• Shulk
• Roy

Don't forget R.O.B japan loves him more than usa.

 

[Fire Emblemier]

So, I heard from the facebook page, that there is rumors a character might be revealed tomorrow, It seems like you guys are talking about it. Why are people expecting a character tomorrow if I may ask?

 

[Pacack]

Some top tier characters are good because of bad reasons and some are good because of good reasons. Mango himself says that certain things make Fox and Falco good that he feels dirty using. Like jab upsmash and the reflector doing so much damage for such a fast move.

For Marth, he was a little too good in Melee, but he was well balanced in Brawl (He normally has like 60/40 in his favor on C tier characters and only a few >70/30 matchups against badly designed characters like Ganondorf). They didn't need to destroy his bread and butter aerial stuff without giving him any buffs on the ground to compensate. And that's not even mentioning RCO, which is a blatant glitch that doubles his landing lag from up b which was either missed by the team or blatantly kept in, making his recovery game go from decent, but mediocre, to ridiculously punishable.

To be fair, I'm not really hyped up for it, mainly because tomorrow's Sunday, which we've never had any word from Sakurai on a weekend. I too am trying to be careful about this rumor.

 

[Deleted member]

Probably Chorus Kids, Chrom, or Shulk.

Fixed for accuracy.
