Nah, I meant the times. Just checked the others too. Terry was 4:50 PST to 7:30 PST, and Banjo was 5:50 PST to 7:30 PST... Not going to say it guarantees anything, but we could have something here, the times of those and the new ones are pretty similar.
No, you’re definitely onto something. Plant, Joker, Hero, Banjo and Terry all had this EXACT SAME THING happen the day they were released on. They’ve always had a maintenance period the day they were released on, and what do they all have in common? They were all related to online play of software!

Thoughts on this? You talked about many times before how Steve was pushed to try and hide Banjo & Kazooie, and you always mention Occam's Razor... so wouldn't Doom Slayer being #5 being the simplest solution? Again, characters aren't always widely heard of before release (Joker, Terry, etc.), for those who are hearing a specific Bethesda character, it could just be a red herring. While normally the Occam's Razor (simplest) solution would be just to accept what is being heard, but due to Cacodemon, wouldn't Doom Slayer be the simplest solution?
A teenaged voice because of his Japanese personal pronoun, similar to Pit.
I'm totally with you. Feels like there's just so much more going on for DOOM than Elder Scrolls right now to warrant an inclusion into Smash.
I never considered this. Care to go into more detail on the specifics of how he is addressed?

but i wanted to share my prediction here to, I'm predicting that the reveal trailer for Geno will be a retro follow up of Terry's trailer but with SMRPG gameplay (stopping at the SNES instead of Neo-Geo and showing the battle with Bowyer but when Geno shows up it turns into a CGI trailer and they showcase him as a playable fighter, Forest Maze stage and Bowyer as a stage hazard)
I believe Geno uses boku (僕) which is typical for youthful male characters
How interesting! Definitively makes sense with what we know of Geno and is certainly an indicator of the sort of character they wanted to make.
So, with that said, what is happening next week on Wednesday?
Take your time good sir
I'm trying so dang hard not to get hype, I don't think my heart could take another bait and switch.
Imagine character 5 announced and released right after a direct with a Sakurai presentation
You know, that could be another explanation beyond no Smash reveal at TGA. If they wanted to do a shadowdrop of sorts, you can't have a Sakurai presentation right after TGA.
Probably. Beyond the matter of budget, at this point I think people have grown to really like this style of presentation. There's something about seeing Sakurai's passion in those presentation that make them great to watch.
To be honest i didn't care if they did it that way because they were low on budget or something like that, it was awesome hearing Sakurai talk that much about a character that he likes. and if we get Geno then imagine him talking about how he finally made it into the roster that would be great
Mad mode Sakurai could possibly do this, but the closest we’ve gotten to this scenario was E3 2015 with Ryu (if he didn’t leak ofc)
Worth considering, since we do know Sakurai and his team are ahead of schedule and it's getting down to the wire time wise, so they could pull this off. Not betting on it, but it would be pretty hype.
I’m almost certain Sakurai was joking about the budget thing. They probably just prefer to do showcases in this style, might be faster and easier to produce in comparison to a high quality production like Joker’s video was.
To add to both of these, Sakurai has a way with being a very approachable game history nerd/buff and at least conveys himself rather humbly (though that might be a byproduct of Japanese custom). Plus clever gags in the script and honestly these presentations give him a chance to geek out and fanboy like a lot of us making him super relatable.
I think I recall an article about the matter of budget where it was pretty much said he was not joking about the budget for presentations. I can't recall exactly what though.
Yeah, I think that really began to shine in the Banjo & Kazooie and especially the Terry presentations. I mean, the former had Sakurai promote the Xbox One and the latter was just a huge geek fest over one of his favorite fighting game series. They are great.
You left an important part out, it's ALSO happening on Monday too
My bad, thanks for the correction
give your avatar a transparent bite-shaped hole
Allow me to help you prepare for just in case it really doesn't happen...
I think so. I remember some Directs being announced on Sundays.
no, if there is one this week expect it to be announced Monday or Tuesday, at the absolute latest Wednesday morning if it's on Thursday.
KingZell teased The World Ends With You 2 two months ago and the remake for the game on Switch literally teased a sequel, so I think it is for that.
It's not really a direct, but I remember them announcing Hero's presentation on a Sunday night, so it's not unheard of for Nintendo to announce things on the weekend. That said, main directs usually seem to be on Tuesday or Wednesday, so that's probably when it'll be.
June 1st 2015 was a Direct on a Monday...it could happen, but not likely.
