I'd love Chibi-Robo, but yeah, he ain't happening.

I can only imagine the insane LULZ HGV will have when she finally reveals the pixelated picture to be a huge ahem play toy if you know what I'm sayin'.View attachment 287503
She is trolling with you all.
Dismiss her, once again.
Chibi Robo isn't in Smash.
620 pages in a single day?maybe we'll reach 4000 before the announcement?
Sorry, I miscalculated. I fixed my message.620 pages in a single day?
That's a lot. Can we hype that far?
The Monster Hunter Direct immediately followed that Partner's Direct. That'd be crazy if the announcement was that a Smash Direct would follow, or even if it'd be coming soon. But you're right, it'd be weird to not just say that today, so the announcement is weird. It's probably just a "Sit tight a little bit longer, release and Presents coming soon", or something.Alright then, the "post-announcement clarity" is coming in now, let's talk.
Certainly longer than average, and just looking at both Ultimate and Smash 4's trailers only a few reach over the 2:30 mark. Let's go through them.
- 3 Minutes?
So what does it mean if the trailer is 3 MINUTES? Either a pretty long intro scene, a multi-reveal/character with notable costumes, or, as I notced, this list includes every trailer with characters voicing over them I think, so that's seemingly a factor in slightly lengthening them. Just some combination of these 3 things.
- Rosalina : 2:42, the CG portion of the video is actually longer than the gameplay portion though. It was kind of a fakeout since it was Kirby in Mario Kart and that's what the previous part of the direct was about if I remember correctly.
- Palutena : 3:01, half the trailer is the animation but it did also technically reveal 2 characters with Dark Pit at the end
- Robin : 2:52, Multi-reveal of both Lucina and Robin
- Cloud: 3:02, It's Cloud. They also showed literally everything about him, from the costume to the summons to the limits, they knew what they had.
- Corrin : 2:31, Barely scraping over. Not much to say about it?
- Bayonettta : 2:34, Barely as well, though you can argue Bayo had more a lot unique mechanics to show
- Simon : 3:04, Double Reveal along with Richter.
- Hero : 3:01, Had all the Heroes alongside them
- Terry: 2:33, Awesome Long Intro, explains itself.
- Byleth : 3:55, Jesus this is long. About half the trailer is the cutscenes though.
That thing says singular and we've never had non-Echoes/non-veterans get revealed in the same trailer as someone else. Sakurai likes giving each new character their own chance to shine. I'm thinking no double reveal.
- FIGHTER reveal.
First off, no Sakurai Presents, huh? Are they just not doing one? Why not? We know 7 is releasing SOON so whats the deal? Is it just going to be next week? BUT WHY NOT JUST DO IT NOW? It's really weird and even weirder they wouldn't just drop the trailer, Sakurai is doing a brief message. For what? To apologize for the wait, uhh ok? We get it, it's cool. Maybe to announce an upcoming presentation? Then why not just do that now? I am confused.
- Brief message from Sakurai
My guess is that it's going to be a dynamic scene followed by the gameplay, stage, stage cameos (they've been in every DLC stage with the fighters in some capacity, so I think that trend will continue, and the closure of the scene.Alright then, the "post-announcement clarity" is coming in now, let's talk.

I might add that isabelle was about 2 mins but extended to 3 with the animal crossing reveal with tom nook.Alright then, the "post-announcement clarity" is coming in now, let's talk.

I agree. He already apologized on twitter so it's not gonna be a repeat of that, and we obviously are gonna learn when the character is gonna be coming out / full presentation time (if there's any)I genuinely think the bit with Sakurai at the end is just to tell us when to expect the deeper presentation for the character, maybe even a release date.
Here's the thing though, based on the skipped general posts we know 7's Update Posts were put in the system already, the update is clearly ready to go, so they are getting released SOON, as in next two weeks. And if that is the case, why wouldn't they just wait until then to do the reveal? Unless they aren't doing a Sakurai Presents, which just...why?I genuinely think the bit with Sakurai at the end is just to tell us when to expect the deeper presentation for the character, maybe even a release date.
There really hasn't been a consistency for how characters are revealed, lmao. Joker is revealed day 1 with no gameplay, Hero and Banjo get proper full trailer reveals and introduce the Sakurai Presents format, and both characters are released the same day as their presentations, Terry is announced but his trailer isn't "complete" until the day he releases, EVERYTHING about Byleth was kept a secret until the full presents but still needed a week in the oven for marketing, Min Min gets half-revealed with the whole guessing game we had to do for ARMS and also needed time before her proper release after the Sakurai Presents, and now we're just getting a reveal with a brief message after that MIGHT lead into the proper date.
Keeps things interesting at least, haha.
Isn't that Twitter defined? A wretched gathering of hate.ME WHEN I SEE GENO TRENDING ON TWITTER AND MOST OF IT IS IDIOTS HATING ON HIM AT THE LAST MINUTE!

I think the Sakurai presents is tied to a General Direct (or a Smash Direct) and that's why they're not doing it the traditional way, just doing a reveal like the old Smash 4 days.Here's the thing though, based on the skipped general posts we know 7's Update Posts were put in the system already, the update is clearly ready to go, so they are getting released SOON, as in next two weeks.

But that's my thing, if 7 is getting released soon (which literally everything points to) then the Sakurai Presents would have to be in the next couple weeks right? And if that is the case, why not just wait until then to do the full reveal? Why drop the trailer by itself?I think the Sakurai presents is tied to a General Direct (or a Smash Direct) and that's why they're not doing it the traditional way, just doing a reveal like the old Smash 4 days.
Wouldn't be sure on it being a pointless coincidence.View attachment 287526
something else to point out as a couincidence lol
My current guess is that the character is third party and they wouldn't allow a reveal to be in a Sakurai Presents, so they're doing this format instead.But that's my thing, if 7 is getting released soon (which literally everything points to) then the Sakurai Presents would have to be in the next couple weeks right? And if that is the case, why not just wait until then to do the full reveal? Why drop the trailer by itself?
That was such a trip down memory lane.Isn't it funny that DYKG released this video today (no I am not insinuating that DYKG knows anything)
yoooooThere was a problem fetching the tweet
Well would you look at that...
Now we just need someone from two weeks into the future to travel back in time and give us details.There was a problem fetching the tweet
Well would you look at that...
I think they may be wanting to reveal 8 / shadowdrop 7's release in a General is my guess. As for why not both, I think that's because both 7 and 8 cause a bigger impact with some distance between them rather than together in the same presentation. As for who 7 and 8 are, I'm predicting Geno and Chief.But that's my thing, if 7 is getting released soon (which literally everything points to) then the Sakurai Presents would have to be in the next couple weeks right? And if that is the case, why not just wait until then to do the full reveal? Why drop the trailer by itself?
How did this person get that to show up? Regardless, it doesn’t really mean much aside from it possibly getting pushed back to now... oh.There was a problem fetching the tweet
Well would you look at that...
You chose to come back at the right time. We've got less than 18 hours left before the revealWoah, it has been awhile. I took a long break from Smash speculation and decided to pop back in today since the DLC drought has ended.
A based meme and a based show. I applaud you, good sir.Holy crap guys I got a leaked image of the trailer
Someone who wants another character, maybe.Geno is a possed doll who can shoot bullets out of his fingers, detach his limbs, rain lazers from the sky, AND can turn into a cannon, who wouldn't want him in Smash?!
