Strong Bad's term for Red Bull and the like.
I have the opposite problem in that I have trouble falling asleep, so to drink an energy shot (which I never take to begin with) that late into the night would be disastrous. :urg:

I just read through all your comics btw, and I love them (being a big Gardevoir fan helps :chuckle:).

And I call myself a Strong Bad fan...-_-; Thanks for your time.

P.S. If this is the right place to ask, who do you think will be the first Newcomer shown at E3?
I'd say Palutena, Bandana Dee, or Pac Man (Hopefully not...). Other than that I was hoping for Krystal to get along with new Star Fox U trailer.

But what if there is no Star Fox U trailer/announcement?

Plus, I honestly don't think a 4th Star Fox character is needed, especially over a 3rd Fire Emblem or Donkey Kong character.

I looked up the video in question... it ooks pretty sweet, except for the fact that it looks REALLY fake. I wish it was real, though ;_; HD Starfox action, ooooooh yeah.

A fad?

Cutting a character because you think he was a fad when he has been popping up Nintendo games since he was created and still is as shown by Tomodachi Life?

When I mean console rep I mean they are literally represent the sytem, Ice climbers represent their games, hence why we get an Ice Climber stage and Ice Climber Music.

And ther IS arguable evidence suggesting R.O.B. is back, the Balloon Fight stage.

Because R.O.B. IS the NES rep, he would be given a stage that looks identicle to its NES appearence. JUST like in Brawl.

What did Ice Climbers get when they were added? An Ice Climber stage that looks nothing like its NES appearence
What did Pit get (Who IS also the retro character of Brawl) when he was added? A stage that didn't really look like anything from his games.

What did Mr Game & Watch get when he was Added? A stage that looked like you were playing on a Game & Watch
What did R.O.B. get when he was added? A stage that looked like you were playing on an NES. And now we have another stage just like that one. Kinda like how Mr Game & Watch got another stage that looked like you were playing on the G&W

There is no reason you have to cut R.O.B.
There is no reason you have to cut Ice Climbers (beside technical issues that are probably fixed)
There is no reason why this would mean Takamaru can't be playable with them!!

Also, Sakurai has NEVER cut a series entirely.
We have Squirtle, Lucas, Ivysaur, Snake and Wolf who would most likely get lower priority and you have of the confirmed characters, Toon Link and Ike who would have thought get given lower priority.

There is literally NOTHING TO SUGGEST HE WOULD GET CUT!!!!!!!!!!!

People are just making the same mistakes again when they thought Mr Game & Watch would get cut in Melee.

There is literally nothing suggesting ROB would return to this game. The pattern you made of consul characters is also just ridiculous, as game & watch's stage is shown to represent the game & watch games. Ice climbers stage was made to represent the Ice climbers game. Pit's stage was made to represent the Pit games. None of these looked anything like the games they were from. This is because an Ice climbers stage, Pit stage, and game and watch were characters in the game. These patterns you keep finding are crazy, as there have been only three games, and they can really do whatever the heck they want, they don't have to stick to this retro character and classic character theme, you are just thinking way too much into who they put into games and categorizing them. Similar to how people thought since the Pokemon series always got a new character for all the two games they did it who represented the latest movie or generation they MUST be doing it again. Now we have lucario back. They thought since there were two fire emblem characters in each game, keeping marth and replacing the second fighter with the newest protagonist of the fire emblem series, but now we have Ike returning as well. My point: these patterns literally prove absolutely nothing. For all we now maybe Nintendo has decided that they want to only show new characters, and remove all these "consul characters" or "retro characters" We do, however, now that Sakurai mentioned the Ice climbers in an interview, said that he is cutting characters, and that Nintendo needs to advertise its new series and games that will put them back into the spotlight. Taking these actual facts into account, ROB is a character that does not fit Nintendo's criteria. As far as i am concerned these are all things suggesting he is getting cut: case and point 3 > nothing.

Can basically guarantee Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Snake are gone
Wolf, Lucas, and Jigglypuff are still on the edge as well
I think Jigglypuff is the only one of these not on the edge since Jigglypuff is not a clone and has been around since the original smash

does anyone know what time the, Main E3 Direct, E3 Smash Direct, and the E3 ??? Direct are going to be showed in Central Time Zone? It'll be hard to avoid spoilers after they do air, so I want to see them as quickly as possible.

This may not be a popular opinion, but I will post it anyway.

I think the only reason to add Krystal is if Falco or Wolf goes. I would rather Falco and Wolf stay, but I would prefer if they both had a more diverse moveset.

I would not mind Krystal added to the roster, but I agree that having four Star Fox characters would be too much.

The Nintendo Digital Direct (one hour) would start at 11:00 am Central Time and the Invitational Tournament is starting at 6:00 pm Central Time. I do not believe that there is a Smash specific Direct, perhaps you are referring to the Q&A session (an hour and a half) which starts at 9:00 pm CT. Each of these events are on Tuesday, to be clear.

Well Mario Zelda and Pokemon seem all set to have at least 5 characters a pop so I could see 4 Star Fox characters happening but I think Kirby would get 4 characters before Star Fox.

The Mario series does have 5 characters, but none of them, besides Mario and Luigi, share any moves.

Since this is the E3 speculation thread, anyone gonna guess as to what the 4 unannounced Ninty titles are? I would like Metroid, Starfox, Mario Party U and some other random thing.

I think the general consensus here is that most people want one, or a combination of, Star Fox, Metroid or F-Zero. Honestly, I can't hope to agree with them more than I already do, at least for Metroid and Star Fox.

My e3 character reveal predictions:

Meta Knight
Mewtwo
Pac-Man
Snake
Mii

Before, Pikachu was the only character who was partially out of his portrait border on the Nintendo Direct page for Smash (at the bottom). I was shouting from the rooftops in the Direct thread that something having to do with Pokémon would be revealed that day due to this. Although I was wrong on the details (I predicted Mewtwo), I was correct in the base assumption!

Now, on the official Smash FB page there are three characters who are out of their borders on the cover photo.

10305250_281580368682317_3312172328646764176_n.jpg

Pikachu, Kirby, and Sonic are the three I'm referring to. Pikachu hints at Mewtwo (Jiggs will remain secret like always), Kirby hints at Meta Knight, and Sonic hints at Pac-Man (due to both of them being third-party). I believe Snake will be revealed for many different reasons, but my personal bias is also there. And Mii is inevitable.

I may be wrong about the specific reveals, but these characters poking out of their own portrait does point to a reveal from each franchise (with Sonic repping third party). Again, Sonic and Kirby were completely inside their pictures when Pikachu wasn't and we got a Pokémon-based reveal.

This is mostly for me so that I can't lie later and say "I NEW TEH HOLE TIEM WAT CHARTERS WUD B REVELED!"

I would hope that it has been. I'm bringing it back up for those who haven't seen it yet or disbelieve in its significance.

I also wanted to give my personal opinion as to who I think will get revealed due to this. :awesome:

Ah, thats cool. I wont give any opinions, because I feel like as if I dont have enough insight to know which newcomers would be revealed.

I hope that's the case.

Based on this finding my prediction is as follows:
Mewtwo
Pac-Man
Snake
Meta Knight
Wario
Ness
Captain Falcon

This will be a great E3 for sure. I'm scared for old Rids though.

Who do you think the other two Fire Emblem reps should be?
Micaiah and Anna is who I want
Micaiah and Chrom is who I think we would get.

I'm really hoping that along side some SMT x FE we will learn Micaiah will have a big role in that game, mainly since Ike snipped some of her time to shine. I think that Ike, Marth, Chrom, Micaiah, Lyn, and Cadea will be the main FE characters in that game.

I'm hoping we see Pokken Fighters, as well as a crossover title. Zelda and Fire Emblem would be cool, and so would Starfox, Metriod, and F-Zero since they all need a reboot. New IP will be shown too.

Micaiah and Ephraim, a true magic use and a lance user, two styles we have yet to see incorporated into Smash (plus another female and/or Sacred Stones representation (from Ephraim)).

What kind of trailer will we get? I kind of want a large CGI one like Brawl.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to say this (looks to me like it is....) But I'm betting all the money I have right now, that if Mewtwo is revealed at JUUUUST the right time (e.g. after the Invitational tournament ends), this site will crash.

If we do get a CGI Trailer I'm trying to think who it could focus on.. maybe Palutena, Shulk, and then a wildcard like the Chorus Men? Pacman could be revealed afterwards like Snake and Megaman. I could see Mii getting revealed after the Invitational Tournament but five newcomers might be a bit much.

Wouldn't you rather have Roy and Chrom
No. Here's why:

Roy - Irrelevant, and not as prominent as Ike.

Chrom - Not a bad choice, but If I was Sakurai, I wouldn't want another blue haired, large sword welding lord that fights for his friends allies.
