Would you say that...next week is a better possibility for such a Direct, or the week after?
I would say the week after next or later at the very least. These type of videos take time to make, so I doubt it would be that soon all things considered.

The fact that Sabi's source was stumped on this helps TeamReal a bit since no one has come forward over the costumes

We're probably just getting Terry info, some stuff about the fight stick, and maaaaaaaaybe Mii costumes. People are seriously shooting for the moon with these predictions. It could very well be Sakurai rambling on about a game he has been on record as being a massive fan of.

If Geno and Doom Marine get in, expect plenty of Geno and Doom Marine bestie art from me.

They can go cuddle some star bunnies together before they go out and kick ass.

EDIT: Also, gotta say, a reveal for Doom Marine at TGA makes a hell of a lot of sense.
Doomguy and Geno are my literal last two requests for Smash. Once Geno got in I was gonna root for doomguy and then bounce. So seeing fanart of both doomguy and geno hanging out is super wholesome. If they both got in I would have gotten every single request I wanted.

Two BFFs just vibing
There was a problem fetching the tweet

I really don't think a direct will be soon. If it was I'm sure they would have wanted to push off this presentation to have it line up with said direct. I seriously think we are out of luck till the game awards.

He essentially confirmed that already by tweeting about how off-script the presentation is, didn't he?

I'm honestly looking forward to that. Sakurai is so wholesome.

Yeah, it's a total log jam right now. Now we're holding on to the possibility that VRplant will be willing to share what they know before the presentation but I don't think it's been decided if that will be made public if and when it happens. Based on people spitballing, people are predicting the "big news" for tomorrow could be one or more of the following:

-A major new mode like an expansion of WoL

-An announcement of a future presentation

-An explanation of how "Season 2" will work

-A Mii costume that hilariously steals the show from Terry a second time

Guess we'll wait and see.
Since Sakurai has put it out that Home Run Contest was the last update mode, even if he changes his mind this Terry video isn't going to be where he reveals that twist. My money is on an explanation on Season 2 DLC since that could entail literally anything and take up as much time as necessary, with a future presentation announcement or even a Mii costume in the vein of Sans would be pretty quick to run through.

There are plenty of new modes that could be implimented (Break the Targets, Board the Platforms, Boss Rush, Event Matches, etc.) and I certainly would love some more single player content, I just wish that tomorrow would get here soon since the possibility of a Character announcement or even anything other than Terry is practically non-existent.

Didn't we get a Direct barely 2 months ago? I don't see another happening until early December.

Say what you will, but I will keep refusing to believe the bolded part until the very end, or until a confirmation comes where the next reveal IS at the Game Awards.

Just so y'all know, this presentation is most likely this month's Direct; it may not be dubbed as such, but it sure as hell is looking like one lmao

We got a Smash Direct (which I am talking about rather than a General Direct) last year in November after there was a General Direct in September that year, so why not?

I dunno, I mean presentations on Smash and Smash Directs seem like two different things to me. Just saying.

The more I think about it, the more I'm okay with just watching Sakurai talk fluff for 40 minutes. Sounds pretty relaxing.

Absolutely sounds great, however I will be on edge until mii costumes are revealed. Though i do hope Sakurai wrecks some CPUs

I think it's hilarious that we're basically all hoping for Doomguy now. It's sorta like Ridley and KRool were where the fanbases support eachother. A "sister fanbase" if you will. I'm digging it.

This whole situation has put me on to doomguy as a smash contender more than anything else, honestly. I'm all aboard the geno/doomguy train. let's rip and tear our way out of speculation hell and into smash!

Gotta say, just the fact that so many people on twitter, facebook, and youtube are talking about Geno is a really good thing. So many eyes are being focused on him and no doubt Nintendo in Japan has been hearing this nonstop from NOA. We probably have more power/demand than we've ever had before. We have a lot of people backing us up.

After what happened last year, I think I've been switching over to the mindset that even if a character I legitimately dislike gets in, that character is going to make someone happy, and that's worth something. And if Geno gets in, it doesn't really matter to me who else gets in with him, y'know? Everyone being able to celebrate together is the ideal ending for Ultimate, in my opinion.

Because that was before the game itself came out, and it still had a bunch to be revealed since the game was out in about a month from that direct. Not saying there's no info to reveal now, but there's not nearly as much, and the deadline (at least for this pass) is February, not December.

We ought to use the wave to get a final please/thank you letter out there. Isn't Operation Starfall taking advantage of the situation?

Well if the leak turns out real I think we’ve already acomplished our mission :)

Yeah, I knew the fact that there isn't much now. I may have mistaken about thinking about the Smash Direct, but Direct or not, anything would suffice. They could still do something. And everyone knows that February is the deadline. I am expecting fighter 5 to be released by then or January. You didn't think I was daft enough to not believe that, did you?

Still, I am really into who the fifth fighter is. I could care less if it were Geno, or someone I really wanted or not, I just want to know who it is. Maybe I wouldn't feel this way if it weren't for the hype from yesterday, if you know what I mean.

I don't really want Jonsey either. No hate to any Jonsey fans but please, not in smash.

I mean, we were kinda the same when isaac’s status was still unknown.

Geno and isaac fans supported each other since our characters were both big fan favorites who had an uphill battle and had been wanted for years. When isaac was sent to AT hell and we in limbo/our fate unknown, there wasn’t anymore else to really help support.

Until now.

Of course the difference here is more about how this leak kinda damn near confirms the others character (or so we hope). If geno is fp5, and comes with that mallow hat, doom marine and that demon hat are practically guaranteed, and vice versa.

I’m sure most Doomguy supporters didn’t/still don’t, care much for geno one way or the other, but if geno gets in with that hat, their guy is a lock, so of course they’re gonna be cheering for us as well.

I have to wonder, though, if Geno isn't already in/planned to be in the game, even if Sakurai saw the increase in support, would he be able to alter plans to fit Geno in and represent him well? I mean, we all know what happened with Sonic.

But what about what the frogger leak is claiming? it mentions that Doomslayer would end the pass while Geno comes next.

What i am saying is that Doomslayer might be fighters pass number five while Geno could be the first character after it. just an assumption.

Knowing Sakurai, he can represent the character well, especially knowing he advocated for Geno. He wouldn't do that if he knew Geno wasn't going to be a good character/he had a good vision for him.
