Today's update was Ike, pretty big by all standards. The first COMPLETELY new character to emerge onto the website even before already-known new characters.

July's first update was Assist Trophies, a pretty big item that gave lesser characters a shot at being in the game. It sparked many discussions, arguements, and friendships between forum members.

June's first update was our very first new previewed STAGE, Delfino Plaza. It looked pretty dang good, and was a big update at the time when updates were just getting things set up.

My point is, are the first of the month updates....the best? I think so, seeing as all these updates rank near the top in importance and "crowd-pleasing"!

What's your IMO?

I think it's more that we get a character once per week, and this just coincided with first of the month.

But hey, you may be right. Although well probably get something like "HOW TO PAUSE" on September 1st....

If this is true, think of how giant the update will be on December 3rd. First update of the month AND when the game is released. Of course, we'll all be too busy playing the game to even bother checking the site.

Also, don't get too comfortable with this idea. Remember, every time we think we have Sakurai figured out, he goes and does something completely out of the ordinary and throws everyone off.

I see this, but it was a WTF update to me. More or less, I don't see that big of a pattern, 87 more updates left. Yes, I counted.

HOW TO PAUSE would be the best update yet.

I don't know, i think there is a sort of connection, Delfino plaza was pretty significant at the time cause we barely just started daily updates, now that were' gettin closer and closer to release date, Sakurai has to up the ante each month

I think it makes sense, we'll see for sure next month
