It seems that spirit events with new spirits have been put on hold for quite a long time, with the last one to feature new spirits at all were the Origami King ones. I guess they really want to get the Square rep out of the way before they do any new ones

So, you think we could be getting a Direct here?
Precedent says yes. Like I showed, the only time multiple maintenances have happened in a week and literally nothing came of it was the week before the Animal Crossing Direct in February but, just that, it was followed by a Direct the next plus even more maintenances.

The maintenances next week are also fairly hefty with the PayPal one being 4 hours itself and two of the three others being two hours. Altogether, it totals 9 hours if counted seperately and still a sizeable 6 if you count it as a continuous timeframe.

I see. Man, Nintendo likes to keep Directs a surprise, but they sure can't keep Direct hints off the internet, can't they?

Geno and the Party are being busy defeating Cell. That’s why he had to postpone his #7 reveal in order to show up later on the road to Smash.

GENO SHINES LIKE A STAR!

If we really actually get a genuine Direct after 14 months I'm gonna be so excited and hyped. Keeping my expectations lowish though so I don't get disappointed.

I don't really care whether or not we get a Nintendo Direct - what they call their information release video isn't even vaguely as important as the actual contents of said video. We could get a Smash-focused Direct that amounts to 'Geno is never coming. Nobody else you want is, either'.

Who would've thought back in 1996 that Geno would become one of the biggest requests in a video game where Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, and Mega Man can fight side-by-side.

Our little puppet boy has been gone for so long, but his time to return is nearing everyday.

Never give up.

In some news there won't be any character patch note in 9.0.2: https://twitter.com/NintendoVS/status/1326312504889274373?s=20
This update was clearly made just for fixing Steve's bugs
Damn. RIP Paddleball mode.

Geno is better than those mortal Smash characters, as he has no need for the action those mortals dub as "eating".
If Geno is a puppet that doesn't require not desire any sustenance, how and why does he willingly mbibe consumables like Max Mushrooms or Kerokero Cola?

To be fair I just said he, as a literal star spirit, does not have any need to eat or drink, not that he can't.

Now I need to know how him actually eating works...does he have a digestive system like us or is he like Kirby and his "stomach" is an infinite blackhole?

So many questions. So few answers.

patch not being balance is a good thing, if it was a balance patch, it could potentially mean a long wait till the next character.
Sure, i want some steve buffs as much as the next guy, but they’ll happen eventually: for now, this is good

All this hard year for everyone would end so good for us, Geno lovers, if they reveal Geno in November or December as 78, rather than 79-80-81.

Playing as Geno after 2 decades will be so epic and perfect. He is a perfect fit in every aspect. I trust that Sakurai and his team will do the best job ever, like they did with Mega Man or Banjo-Kazooie packs.

〉9.0.2 Smash update out of the blue to apply additional fixes to cuboid lego man
〉Daily countdown to Hyrule Snoreiors: Age of Questionable Canon

I made this to gloat in my own special way.

Maintenance will not save you from the curse. Pack it up and try your best to enjoy the rest of this dismal year. Think of just how much of a pig you can be at Thanksgiving when you're holding it by yourself in your dark and lonely apartment rather than around friends and family.
Okay doomer.
That, and correct me if I'm wrong, but having 4 separate maintenance periods on the same day is a record isn't it? View attachment 291581
E3 2020 Part 2 coming soon?

Though, I would think it would be after Age of Calamity's release...

I translated the tweet, and all I'm gonna say is that this was an interesting read.

Wow, a fighter-only tournament where I can smoke, vomit and eat! This is literally all I've ever wanted out of Super Smash Brothers Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch.
