Doesn't Scintilla technically count as a shield? I mean, Sephiroth does summon a barrier for the Special.

Kazuya already killed any chance Illidan may have had but this is anotherr strike against him. I wonder if Sarah Kerrigan’s “wings” still count?

Wings...

Just like that, my hopes of seeing Yar join the battle are gone. Coulda been the Atari rep that I want, but I guess we'll have to try again next game.
I'm curious, would they use original 2600 Yar or try and use the reimagined Yar?

Dude! I haven't seen Yars' Revenge referenced in decades lol nice.

I'd personally vote for Pitfall Harry myself. But to answer your question the original would be hilarious but the pc remake looks a lot better obv

What first party characters seem plausible, if the final reveal winds up being one?

Cinderace seems like a front-runner, but beyond that, I have no idea. (an Advance Wars remake is coming out, and I'd be interested to see what they could do for Andy or Sami, but I doubt they'll add an Advance Wars character)

Try as I might, and as much as I'd love to see them playable, I can't see Nintendo ending off DLC with Dixie Kong, Captain Toad, or Bandanna Waddle Dee, since generally speaking, it seems like they try to focus on new-ish releases when it comes to first party DLC newcomers.

Anyway, one idea I've had it that perhaps the final fighter reveal might be held off for 10/5 because there may be a surprising announcement for a new game for an established franchise announced at TGS and they may not want to spoil things with the smash reveal first.

TGS begins roughly around 9PM EST / 6PM PST, so in case anything particularly noteworthy crops up for the Switch, keep your eyes peeled.

That sounds kinda backwards given the precedence of them actually leading MineCon 2020 with Steve's reveal

Nono, you see


League of Legends Worlds starts a few hours after the Sakurai Presents, thus League of Legends!

Volatile might be a better word because of how knockback is heavily influenced by Aura - base % is 65 % - and it makes any situation where he's above say 110 % extremely dangerous for the opponent - it makes him also very difficult to balance. At the same time, Ultimate has no shortage of characters who can kill at that 110 % mark and his weight nerf from 4 impacted him pretty badly (plus he has lingering inconsistency issues). Still though, I kinda think he's not far from being a more consistent character: he IMHO needs primarily consistency fixes, specifically on his multihits. Maybe slight improvements to his frame data... although I'm not sure on that.

I feel like a more interesting design choice would be to make aura affect his attacks so that his gameplan changes rather than just going from bad to stupid.

Like, perhaps instead of straight up getting better, he loses the ability to combo in exchange for better defensive options to protect himself or something.

My brain took the "F" and then dropped the rest of the sentence until the "Buck Bumble" part...

Needless to say I was very confused.

There was no Bee Tournament. Don't give up hope Bumble Bros!
Click to expand...
According to all known laws of Smash speculation, there is no way a bee should be able to be CP11. Its wings would've meant the wing tournament would wait for it. The bee, of course, joins the battle anyway, because bees don't care what Smash speculators think is impossible.

  • Is royalty (includes more in name only royalty like the "King of Evil", Ganondorf, but not Roy...)

  • Is associated with eating things and also Wii Fit Trainer and Bowser

I'm not just being petty here. I genuinely want to see what you guys can come up with.

I saw an add here that was literally just a bunch of virus links. You wanna know how I know that? Well the entire thing consisted of 5 links:
  • "FULL VERSION FREE PC GAMES"
  • "LOSE BELLY FAT IN 1 WEEK"
  • "WATCH FULL EPISODES FREE"
  • #1 STOCK TO BUY RIGHT NOW"
  • "BEST HAIR THICKENING SHAMPOO"
I only remember seeing it once, but man did I get a kick out of it. I should hope you'd have to be a lot more subtle than that to actually get people. lol

Yeah that's kinda my gripe with any Event Tourney theories. I'm not even sure if the challenge I've just proposed is possible.


I also half expect the final fighter's tourney to be about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or include all the characters but that's neither here nor there.

Yesterday's was E3 so the next should be the 8/8 direct, but they won't be able to link it because it's gone from YouTube. Still very curious what to make of that.
