Sakurai…truly is playing 4D Chess…

 

[N3ON]

It certainly has been Byleth day on the boards

 

[FreeFox]

It certainly has been Byleth day on the boards

Lets look at this posivitely. Its probably the most lively and active the speculation thread has been in a while.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Lets look at this posivitely. Its probably the most lively and active the speculation thread has been in a while.

But at what cost?

At what cost…?

 

[N3ON]

Lets look at this posivitely. Its probably the most lively and active the speculation thread has been in a while.

It wasn't meant to be negative. It wasn't meant to be positive either.

Just a reflection of the chaos.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Guys you're being dumb.

It's a Pyrahna Plant.

Top 10 puns that make you lose HP in real life.

But at what cost?

At what cost…?

All of my brain cells. Note how I have yet to make insightful commentary since the event.

Oh wait that's just my default state...

 

[ZelDan]

Yeah, Byleth day sure was crazy.

But atleast things will calm down a bit now that the next characters will be...

Sees Min Min and Steve are the next couple days

Oh dear god...

 

[Shroob]

Hey

Could be worse


The west is a lot more neutral to Min Min than Japan is. Japan hates her after she made online hell.

 

[Sucumbio]

It certainly has been Byleth day on the boards

And yet kof stadium wins the voterama. smh.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Guys.


There are only 5 days left...

 

[N3ON]

This has honestly been the first time I've noticed there's a poll up there. So thank you

 

[Sucumbio]

Weeeeeeee

 

[Noipoi]

The end is nigh

Sakurai…truly is playing 4D Chess…

Which reminds me
There’s a Steam game called 5D Chess. It’s labeled as a psychological horror. I kid you not.

 

[GalacticPetey]

Yeah, Byleth day sure was crazy.

But atleast things will calm down a bit now that the next characters will be...

Sees Min Min and Steve are the next couple days

Oh dear god...

Sephiroth day on the other hand is a holy time that I am looking forward (despite the fact that I'll be at work for a lot of it).

REUNION

 

[TheCJBrine]

5 more days until we see King K. Rool wake up on a bed of flowers underground.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Sakurai himself stated that "Everyone is Here" is the main theme of Ultimate.

And yet he leaves out several ATs!

With Sora I think there might also be a subset of general SE fans that would prefer another character from that company (Crono, Neku, various FF protagonists, 2B, Denton, etc)

I would PREFER Crono, yes. But I'm not gonna pretend Crono is a "better" pick than Sora. He's just not.

Can't wait for the final fighter to have a gimmick and people complain because broken op.

I just hope they're smart enough to have at least one final balance patch after the end so we don't end up with another "OP Bayo forever!" situation.

Everyone knows you're free to commit atrocities if you're a hot anime character.

Hot characters aren't evil, they're "morally grey".

If they cut Incineroar (and they shouldn’t!) they better give his move set to Star Man or the Amazon from NES Pro Wrestling

Or Great Puma since he’s even a cat themed wrestler

The Checklist approves.

 

[Noipoi]

I’m starting to get the pre-announcement jitters. Five days before the announcement.

It’s the pre-pre-announcement jitters-jitters.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Thus tomorrow we begin looking over Pass 2 starting with the one that started it all.

 

[FreeFox]

Thus tomorrow we begin looking over Pass 2 starting with the one that started it all.

Would it be cheating if I instead talked about what created the most hype?

 

[zumaddy]

Dunno about you guys but I'll be rewatching all the DLC trailers on the 5th to get hyped. I still think Sephiroth's is my fave

 

[Dan Quixote]

Dunno about you guys but I'll be rewatching all the DLC trailers on the 5th to get hyped. I still think Sephiroth's is my fave

That's actually a great idea. Gonna feel very nostalgic I'm sure!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Dunno about you guys but I'll be rewatching all the DLC trailers on the 5th to get hyped. I still think Sephiroth's is my fave

I mean, Sephiroth's is just objectively the best newcomer trailer in Ultimate, hell, it's up there with Mega Man imo

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I may not have the chance to say this tomorrow so I'll say it now.

Min Min and ARMS are rad.

Gameplay wise, they can be annoying, but I still love the character and the game she's from.

 

[Shroob]

Dunno about you guys but I'll be rewatching all the DLC trailers on the 5th to get hyped. I still think Sephiroth's is my fave

Present airs at 7am for me.


Think I'll just watch 'em on the 4th instead.

 

[Mamboo07]

Can't wait to see what new hat Kirby's gonna get when he eats the last fighter.

 

[N3ON]

I mean, Sephiroth's is just objectively the best newcomer trailer in Ultimate, hell, it's up there with Mega Man imo

Hey... wait a second...

Spoiler

I'M ON TO YOU, SAKURAI

 

[Guynamednelson]

Yeah, Byleth day sure was crazy.

But atleast things will calm down a bit now that the next characters will be...

Sees Min Min and Steve are the next couple days

Oh dear god...

The only calm will be Sephiroth's day. Then the ****storms will come back full force for Pythra.

 

[DarthEnderX]

What’s important in universe doesn’t really matter. Waluigi is important to us fans because we love him and Nintendo knows it!

You tell 'em!

I just wish the complaints were consistent towards the characters. Too many for a smaller franchise?

Yes, that one.

All I want is people to be more consistent instead of saying "well actually it's this too" when you counter them.

Or maybe it's different people?

Wonder how Pokemom cuts will be next game.

I mean, aside from Pichu and maybe Incineroar (if you have bad taste), none of them are very easy to cut.

Make 'zard solo again.

Realtalk though, I don't think any 1st Party characters will get cut. All the cuts are going to be the characters with licensing fees.

Yea. They are sports wear not skimpy tight outfits. Am I missing something?

Yeah, cause that's not a porn tag or anything.

Has anyone listened in on the Japanese speculation scene? What characters are they angling for?

Gundam.

Femboy, if I'm correct?

Bishōnen.

Alright bros, which blue colored anime style sword wielder featured in a recent game whose design specifically appeals to me do you want in Smash?

I guess Van for the Falcom rep. He's no Estelle though.

 

[Strong-Arm]

do yall think the final character will be released on the same day as the presentation

 

[Mamboo07]

do yall think the final character will be released on the same day as the presentation

shrugs
We'll have to wait and see.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

do yall think the final character will be released on the same day as the presentation

Nope, the fact they are announcing the character at the predentation tells me that we won't get them until 3 weeks from now at best

 

[WahHahaha]

do yall think the final character will be released on the same day as the presentation

No, it would be too overbearing to release the final fighter on the same day as the reveal trailer and presentation, so I doubt it will happen. I think it's possible for the next day or the next week though. I'm betting on the next day.

 

[Jondolio]

Damn, I always miss the Smashboards after dark moments.

Anyway, five days til the day of reckoning babyeee

 

[Noipoi]

do yall think the final character will be released on the same day as the presentation

I’m gonna bet a week or so after.

 

[Shroob]

Nope, the fact they are announcing the character at the predentation tells me that we won't get them until 3 weeks from now at best

3 seems a bit excessive.


I feel like worst case scenario is like, the week after the presentation, with best being like 1-3 days later.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

3 seems a bit excessive.


I feel like worst case scenario is like, the week after the presentation, with best being like 1-3 days later.

Weren't Min Min and Byleth's presentations 2 weeks before launch? That's where I got 3 weeks from as it'd be 2 weeks after the presentation

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Yeah, Byleth day sure was crazy.

But atleast things will calm down a bit now that the next characters will be...

Sees Min Min and Steve are the next couple days

Oh dear god...

I’ll take one day of Min Min over the literal months Nintendo made us play Guess Who ARMS edition.

That was probably the most boring stretch of speculation, and kinda killed the momentum of Pass 2 Spec entirely in my opinion.
