Do you want “The 50 Fact Extravaganza” to return as the last Direct?

[AIM0001]

Whether or not we get an all Smash Direct again or if the next wave of Smash information is shared via Nintendo Fall Direct. I think it’s safe to say we’ll get atleast one more all Smash Direct right before the game launches.

The question is, should they make the last Direct the return of The 50 Fact Extravaganza? If so do you picture Xander Mobus hosting again or maybe have it hosted by Sakurai/His translater this time around? Dare I say do we have both sides co-host? I’m torn because as much as I enjoy Xander’s work and IMO he adds a lot of much needed personality to the franchise. I would even like him to be the Smash announcer for now on. However I believe Sakurai has put together 2 amazing presentations this year. The E3 and 8/8 Direct might even have to be considered the best directs Nintendo has ever done in terms of information given, how it’s presented and most importantly its pacing. What’s your thoughts on The 50 Fact Extravaganza and who should host this beast of a Direct?

 

[jamesster445]

Yes just so Xander Mobus gets to ham up about buttons again.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

AB. SO. LUTELY!

I was reasonably bummed for Sm4sh after the ESRB leak, and the 50-fact extravaganza was what built my hype right back up.

Not to mention we'll still have characters to reveal, modes to reveal, and possibly even a Mewtwo-esque DLC tease.

 

[Luigifan18]

Another 50-Fact Extravaganza would be awesome.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Yes!

We will know who is the first DLC character is as well

 

[evildevil97]

Sakurai said all the characters will be revealed before launch. This would be a great way to get the last couple out.

 

[SmashBro99]

It was so well done and hype, hope hey do it for Ultimate.

 

[Ronster87]

Yessir, 100%.

 

[osby]

Last one was really fun, I wouldn't object a new one.

 

[DBPirate]

Yes, that'd be awesome! I loved the rapid-fire style of the first one. I do hope Sakurai makes an appearance though.

[Zyphyris]

Showing the Ultimate mural at the end with the final characters added and ending on Xander screaming "EVERYONE IS HERE!" in the most spine-chilling way possible would be the perfect way to conclude the last direct.

 

[Meritocracy]

Here's a thunk,
Direct starts, "today we're here for a 50 fact extravaganza, but we know that smash fans always want more than we promise, so we doubled the number of facts"
I would personally strangle anyone who complains about this game if this happens

 

[Pizza Robo]

Yes that would great for a Smash Direct for November

 

[MrRoidley]

...As long as Xander doesn't do the voice overs, yes
if that's not the case, than regular Directs will hit better with me

 

[TMNTSSB4]

...As long as Xander doesn't do the voice overs, yes

No Xander voice overs...

...only Xander voice overs

 

[Admiral Pit]

I really don't mind it at all. It'd be nice to gain even more knowledge and fun facts like last time, especially with how much expansion this game will be compared to s4.

 

[Koopaul]

The last Direct will probably talk about the secret mode. Must be something really special to hide it. Ithink the 50 Facts Extravaganza was a result of them not having a major reveal, so they opted to have had a lot of little things to talk about. Remember, Smash for the Wii U barely had anything in regards to extra modes and features outside of Master/Crazy Orders and that terrible Smash Tour. What else could they talk about?

This time, however, is different.

 

[TheTrueBrawler]

The 50 Fact Extravaganza could defiantly be a recap of what all has been seen in previous directs plus a few more minor details. I would actually hope to see a 100 Fact Extravaganza over a 50 Fact Extravaganza with all that has changed so far.

 

[Yosher]

I'd definitely love another one of these, but I wonder whether it actually will happen? Given the amount of things in this game, I could definitely see them filling a 100 Fact instead. Even if they don't give us something like this though, it's not going to bring down on my enjoyment of this game.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Yes I would like it again

A ultimate version of it.

 

[Just a random scrub]

Indeed.

Anyways, yeah, I would definetly not object to a new 50-Fact Extravangza. Xander is such a soothing presence.

 

[Ultrashroomz]

Only if they get Xander Mobus to narrate it like last time.

 

[John Dylan Smith]

Only if they get Xander Mobus to narrate it like last time.

Speaking of Xander and considering the fact that he was the narrator of Smash 4! I think it would still be awesome if we got the option to have some unlock-able narrators for Super Smash Bros Ultimate (My Top Choices Would Be Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, and either Wizard Or Boomstick (From The Screwattack Series "Death Battle")!

Jeff Manning, Dean Harrington, and Pat Cashman would be good picks for unlockable narrators.

 

[zeonie888]

I would love to see one!

 

[ItsMeBrandon]

The 50 Fact Extravaganza was a great way to hype people up while organizing together all the information we were seeing. I'd be totally on board with a new one for Ultimate, whether it'd be 50 facts or more than that. Even if the number was somehow lower, I'd still be pretty excited.
As long as it's not, like, a 1 Fact Extravaganza.

I like Xander Mobus and Sakurai/his translator about equally when they announce things, so either one (or both, especially) would not get any complaints from me.

 

[Deleted member]

Absolutely. That was an amazing direct and I would be unbelievebly excited if Nintendo did it again.

 

[DarthEnderX]

By the time we get there, there's not gonna be 50 facts left to reveal. The two directs we got have already revealed, like, 50 things.

Seeing how we’ve only had an Isabelle reveal in September and a quiet October. November is good possibility for a 50 fact extravaganza. There are still a ton of details (big and small) that we don’t know about. At the very least, I’m sure they could provide 50.

 

[Tino]

It would be nice to know everything else the game has before it comes out.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

Yos
And it has lots of reveals.

 

[Mgl]

Maybe, the format was fun but it felt like there was a lot of filler.

 

[Dukemon]

No. I do not like Xanders. So I do not need a presantation with him. Unfortunately Nintendo Germany would take his clip and make subs. I prefer Japanese with sub or German dub.
But not that crap NoA made by the e3 with this translator.

 

[RineYFD]

Dear god, I remember how hyped I was when I was watching the 50 Extravaganza. 8-Player Smash(Easily one of the best moments in the Direct and was the most mind-blowing thing ever), The amount of music in the game, Stages etc.
It even made Smash Tour look cool!
It wasn't
And my god that DLC reveal for Mewtwo. That was the stuff.
I doubt we'll get something as big this time since most of the stuff has been revealed already, but I would still be up for it.
ESPECIALLY if there's a DLC announcement.

 

[Matoi]

No Xander voice overs...View attachment 162759...only Xander voice overs

LMAO!

 

[jamesster445]

It's something.

 

[AIM0001]

It's something.

Ya I’m really glad they let him to a video even if it was just a simple introduction to Smash Ultimate. They should let him do DLC stage, music, and character moveset breakdown videos. That would be so dope!

 

[lucasla]

I want a new surprise direct with more reveals, dont need to be a 50 fact extravaganza.
