Best Case: DLC or Euro Relese date
Probably gonna be: Just technical stuff, interesting for those who like that stuff
Worst case: Delay...

 

[Indignant]

Nice to have the confirmation of at least 1 journalist attending...more likely than not more will now.

 

[DinnerSonic]

I'm hoping to hear inside info, I love hearing 'bout how games were developed, it makes it hard to hate anything when you realize the struggles. It'd be nice if they mentioned if they ever actually planned on doing anyone after Sonic, perhaps things like "Why'd we have to give Sonic such simple changes" and "Why we made Wario special and gave him the classic outfit" and such, but I'm expecting simpler things.

 

[LavisFiend]

I just want him to say that "heroes always arrive late" refers to Megaman, because they are still working out a contract with capcom.

 

[AznHalfCaucasian]

-nvm-

[RedMage8BT]

If Megaman is downloadable, I won't be downloading him unless he's practically forced on you.

If Megaman is ever playable in Brawl, I will make R.O.B. my permanent main.

Save this post if you want to quote me on it.

Anyway, I'm hoping for ANYTHING that will ease the wait. Something that will make these next 2 weeks go faster.

 

[Indignant]

Huh? Just 2 weeks already? That's great! I forgot it's coming that fast!

I could care less about Megaman. I wanted him once, didn't want him others, and now just plain don't care. I'm not betting on any more 3rd parties even IF DLC happens. Unless the companies pay Nintendo to put the characters on it that is.

So is it going to be on the internet?

 

[MajinNecro69]

DLC was already deconfirmed my Sakurai in an interview with IGN...

My hope is that he reveals that there will eventually be a Smash 4, and that he intended on making Ridley playable at one point in development. As well as his stance on the severe lack of Geno.

 

[Indignant]

I don't know...I know the blog www.joystiq.com tends to do liveblogging sort of things...they don't appear to be this year, but who knows?

 

[Masque]

The only thing that interests me now is who else was considered for playable character-ship, and why some of them were left out. I would like to hear about Claus in particular (obviously), but I wouldn't mind hearing about Ridley, Krystal, Geno, Tom Nook / the AC main character, Mewtwo, and the like.

There is no way in hell that Sakurai will announce SSB4. There's a better chance of getting King Leonidas being a DLC.

And Geno was a side character in one game. I don't understand why people think he should be in at all. There are much more deserving characters way ahead of him.

 

[Indignant]

Well, the speech starts in half an hour! May I have a drum roll please!

[Dark Nemesis]

His speech will fail without the announcement of the European releasedate.
*Prays*

 

[joeysmash]

what time is his speech? (guessing soon.)

 

[Dark Nemesis]

In about 20 minutes, I guess.

 

[Roy-Kun]

In about 20 minutes, I guess.

Maybe less...

15-10 minutes?

 

[joeysmash]

is there a live feed somewhere to listen to?

 

[Puppet Master]

DLC

i want Lloyd Irving!!!!

 

[UncleGrandfather]

Yeah, is there any way to get to this speech right now? Otherwise somebody definitely needs to post the full speech here afterwards.

He doesn't speak English though.....there will just be a translator right?

Leonidas FOR BRAWL!!!!

This is what Sakurai is going to say at his speech:

'I won't add downloadable characters to the game up until now. This is why you must recover'

is this it?

 

[Dark Nemesis]

My guess:
"Downloadable characters? Before we come that far, the Wii must get a Harddisk. And that will never happen.
Why Nintendo are doing this to you?
For the lulz, fellow smashers, for the lulz."

is this it?

No that would be an interview with Sakurai, we're talking his GDC session which is going right now.

For those looking for a live blog, I found one. I posted it in the download/DENIED thread, but I guess I'll drop it here too.

Edit:
My bad Kotaku has a better one:

Lulz: Its the only reason anyone does anything

Dust319: I can't find the live-feed, but...... WHAT? WI-FI GAMES WITH A FEE?

 

[joeysmash]

YEH WE GET TO PAY TO ENTER FRIEND CODE YIPIEE!!!

[Dust319]

Dust319: I can't find the live-feed, but...... WHAT? WI-FI GAMES WITH A FEE?

Sorry, no live feed. Just a live blog. They were updating more often during the WiiWare stuff, but not now.

Try Kotaku instead. It's not a live feed but they're updating info by the minute. Just keep refreshing:

no live feed...its a live blog so when there's new info, the author will type it for us to read...just refresh the page every once and a while but there hasnt been new info for 30 min

 

[LUIGI PSYCHO]

How do you convey poses to animators? Sakurai used a Microman poseable action figure. Using these, he snapped photos of many of the poses that would ultimately become final animations. It's clear, even from these photos, whose animations these are, with Pit and Zero Suit Samus standing out.

Great xD
An action figure was the model for the attacks xD

 

[Brawlmatt202]

This is what Sakurai is going to say at his speech:

'I won't add downloadable characters to the game up until now. This is why you must recover'

According the an IGN interview with Sakurai, there won't be any downloadable characters.

Still, I forgot about this. I wonder what he'll say...
