For Nintendo's treehouse Friday do you expect a character reveal?

[Nintendotard]

yea if your in cali imma edit the post now for everyone

WHAT! Oh boy another all nighter x.x

or wait...I can just wait until the Treehouse. They'll pretty much be doing the same thing, right?

 

[Azizibesmashing]

Well how do you know though?

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv192594604 PROOF my friend

No, it isn't. Duck Hunt are both the dog and the duck, as you can see in the character's portrait. It not really weird.

and reila you know what I'm trying to say dude lmfao its like a diction thing. its just funny calling a character a "game"
i guess its the same for doctor mario but we don't call captain falcon f-zero ....wierd example but you understand me ..

duck hunt for the win. I'm looking forward to him the most

I'm expecting more than just a character reveal, since they're going to talk about other games.

 

[Culex127]

I expect to see a couple of newcomers, a lot of new stages, new music pieces and maybe even an announcement of another Sub Space Emissary-like adventure mode. However, I don't think they gonna do one in the new Smash. Let's just see, it's gonna be awesome anyway and I will watch the full 8 hours.

100% chance he exists.

Sounds like someone doesn't understand statistics or didn't actually follow the leak in question.

The part of the ESRB leak that people are "100% sure" about is the video leak, because of the amount of detail and the time that would be required to fake that part. We didn't get actual game footage of anyone other than Ganondorf, Shulk, and Bowser Jr, though, and there are other parts of the ESRB leak that were flat-out made up as an elaborate joke (The DLC bit, in particular). The menus in the screenshots DO match up with what we've seen in the PotD which lends a LOT of credence, but it doesn't "100% confirm" anything. Furthermore, we don't know how old the build in question for the ESRB leak was and whether all the characters on the screen were finished or in a bug-testing state. It's VERY unlikely, but it's possible the DHD could still be potentially cut between when the build for that footage was filmed (which could've been upwards of a month or two before we got the leak) and the final release because of a major bug they couldn't fix. Once again, not very likely at all, but it's something that COULD happen.

You'd be crazy to not think it's true at this point, but it's the difference between a "reasonable doubt" and a "shadow of a doubt" in this case. Hence, the 5% reduction there. Some people write this as 99.9% as well, but that's usually saved for things of even more certainty than this, though ("A flipped coin will land on heads or tails" is 99.9% because it COULD and, on very rare occasions, has landed on its edge).

A 100% confirmation is an official announcement by Nintendo or official footage of the character.

Once again, I don't really doubt that DHD is in, but that's not the same thing as a 100% confirmation. If we're being completely precise about what we know for certain about the character, it's that there's a beyond reasonable doubt chance (95%) that he's in and that the portrait in the leak is his select screen model. My point was that a person should be excited for footage of a character that we know almost nothing about other than a name and a not quite 100% confirmation.

Also, all of this said and done, I suspect, if they show off new characters, they'll mostly show off the other returning veterans. Not everyone follows the website or Japanese coverage, but DOES follow official releases like Nintendo's youtube and twitch channel. So, they may want to keep the remaining secret newcomers a secret to the remaining 5% of consumers that don't want those things spoiled.

"Reveals a new character" shouldn't be the be-all, end-all metric of whether a stream is worth watching or not. I'm sure we'll get to see a goodly amount of clear, easily-understood gameplay videos of a variety of characters, and that will be cool on its own merits.

 

[Bedoop]

Ridleyyyyyyyyy

To be perfectly honest, I think the people that demand a character reveal for a stream to be successful are in the minority here. There was plenty of interesting things to watch for in the SDCC footage, and we didn't get a reveal there either. Of course, there were a bunch of loud people that complained about this, but it's not like you saw anyone reporting about how their SDCC footage was a disaster on any news sources.

That said, people are gonna be excited about the possibility of one, regardless.

 

[HeavyLobster]

PETA's already lining up to protest DHD's inclusion on the grounds that it promotes animal cruelty, even though Brawl's CGs/F-Tilt locks on space animals are far more brutal than anything from Duck Hunt.

 

[ChikoLad]

Not expecting it but I want to pop into the stream anyway.

Wonder what those other "upcoming games" they are going to show off are...would I be asking for too much to see more info on the Wii U Smash Bros?

 

[DougX]

I have no idea if there will be one or not. Will be neat if they do one, but it won't kill me if there isn't one. I am still excited to see all the gameplay and information about other upcoming games though.

 

[Momaster12]

I heard Sakurai said that all newcomers will be getting a spotlight video. Maybe we will get 1 big one revealing all the remaining characters. It wouldn't make sense for them to say this then not deliver and have some random people reveal these characters.

 

[kylexv]

I'm not sure if I'm going to get up 45 minutes early to watch this yet.

I'm also not sure if there will be a reveal.

 

[LF2K]

Does it matter if there will be a reveal? Odds are, we'll know the roster by then. Someone's bound to get an early copy in Japan and leak it.

 

[Enigma14]

I posted this in another thread but

The only thing that bothers me about a reveal Friday is this:

Is this the last newcomer trailer?

Would it make sense to post a new one up after the game has released? Would Sakurai wait to post one when the International game is in stores?

So assuming we get DHD and Bowser Jr. are they in one trailer or do they get separate ones? And lets say that its true there are more characters to be shown off (Final 4/5); do they get trailers or are just in game with no fanfare?

i think there will be more reveals.
but it is gonna be weird. they wanna keep dlc for the wii u i think
who knows I'm expecting 2 new reveals friday
to boost pre orders

 

[Enigma14]

For hype.

If they wanted to hype people, they would have saved Robin and Little Mac/Megaman for the end.

 

[Jae]

I didn't expect one from the Japan-only Direct but we got one anyways.

So, it isn't implausible to think that another reveal could occur (despite the fact one was revealed not very long ago).

I expect to see the purple space doragon, Ripley.

naw i think that started the initial hype.... it would be boring if they only mentioned veterans you feel me?
those started the hype and now its non ending because of that

RIDLEY** jk i know you meant that. if ridley comes I'm excited but i never was on the ridley wagon. i want DHD

 

[kamus_aran]

If Doraemon is one of the 5 remaining hidden characters, I'd be shocked with excitement since he is very famous in asia and has all the gadgets in his pocket to fight which make sense if he made it in

 

[Azizibesmashing]

it wouldn't appeal to the whole world

 

[kamus_aran]

it wouldn't appeal to the whole world

Yeah, I know he's not very famous in western countries

 

[ParanoidDrone]

Why is everyone so certain we're getting a reveal? I thought the wording could be be interpreted to mean "newcomers" i.e. Villager, Mega Man, etc. as opposed to "brand new character we haven't shown yet."

it was announced.
we are def getting new comers, or at least 1.
on the nico channel promoted by nintendo it claims someone will be announced

 

[Donkey_Inferno]

Any character reveal would be great. Even if it's a character that was leaked. I just love watching the CG movies they prepare for us.

 

[TheCJBrine]

I expect Duck Hunt.

If a Veteran is revealed, I expect either Ness, R.O.B, or Ganondorf.

EDIT: Someone in here likes Doraemon? I feel happy now that I thought of a Smash Intro for him, although not sure how to make it....

(I actually know how to make Smash Character intro screens, like the official screens saying something like "Charizard Fires it Up!", but I can't make them look as official :3 )

Wow, they say a new mode. Adventure please...... :x

Thanks for the source

 

[Toledo Jones]

I don't know why so many people are expecting DHD. the retro character has never been revealed before. but who knows, tradition could be broken. I'd be psyched for a DHD reveal.

I'm expecting Bowser Jr., Mewtwo, or Ridley honestly.

 

[Donkey_Inferno]

@ Donkey_Inferno man im pullin an allnighter. 8am downloading smash to my LL and watching @Zipzo and the treehouse while i play

Yeah I think Ima have to pull an all nighter too..
Time to make a NicoNico account.

 

[T-Donor66]

Well i sure hope that this is the case. My hype is so high it burns.

Oho noted.

Perhaps more prominent a possibility than I originally imagined-- although it's worth noting it says it "suggests" a new mode and character. It pays to be skeptical.

 

[SmashBro99]

Probably not but of course I would love to be wrong. Duck Hunt Dog / Bowser Jr. / Koopalings LETS GO

 

[laces]

It'd be nice if we got 1 more trailer, but I won't be heart-broken if we don't. After all, we'll probably know the whole roster a couple days after.

 

[strawhatninja]

Well I expect to see the whole roster by Wednesday so who knows what they will show.

 

[Turokman5896]

THE KING RISES! It will probably be one of the leaked characters but I still want an epic villain trailer with the hype 3!
