Third party teasing. It's going to be a joint Shulk and Bomberman reveal, and I will have the most relevant avatar EVER.

Here's a random thought: since we now have third party trophies (sorry guys but if Rayman was playable they wouldn't show him before the reveal), what about Xenosaga trophies? I mean it was developed by Monolith and Namco is helping make the game so it doesn't seem too far off. Ah, I can imagine a high quality KOS-MOS trophy now...

And who needs sleep when you got hype?

We can't say Rayman's not playable until today's stream is over. Just remember, Sakurai is unpredictable. He can change things up however he wants.

I still strongly believe in Shulk, there's too much in his favour.

A random unveiling of a Rayman trophy can't compare to that. (Sorry Rayman)

Saw this in Chugga's twitter feed, and thought it was rather amusing.
Turns out one of the sidequests has some awfully picky requirements to start it.

But all this situation is weird, it seems that Sakurai wants to make this character reveal easy to predict (but a trap, at the end). I think that Shulk, Chrom or Chorus Men are the most obvious characters. But im really hoping to see another character, anyone. That would mean that the roster is atleast one number bigger.

And Sakurai is the man that can do that.

There's bound to be one person watching the stream thinking they'll show Rayman, then Shulk appears and that person will think "Oh come on, ANOTHER Fire Emblem character".

These are the things I think about when i'm sleep deprived.

And then, suddenly You will know our names starts playing in the trailer! Their puny brains cannot handle the hype and thus they explode.

"Oh my god, they included another cute boy to the series. MUST. DRAW. YAOI OF IT!"

Alternatively

"IZ THAT THE BAD GUY FROM THE STAR WARS???"

I actually saw a comment on a news article (about Monday) the other day and they said they didn't really want Shulk or Chrom but they're still supporting them for The Fire Emblem fans.

Well, midnight just hit for me a few minutes ago, so I figured I'd go ahead and handle this. If you have a thread you wanna call "dibs" on to make, let me know.

@ Rocket Raccoon Rocket Raccoon - Shulk Image Gallery & Shulk Reveal Reaction
@Banjodorf - Shulk Main Social & Shulk Custom Moveset
@DaDavid - Shulk/Xenoblade Stage Discussion
@ MooseSmuggler MooseSmuggler - Shulk/Xenoblade Videos

Rayman is not gonna happen, Sakurai has clearly stated that he will not include just any third party, and we already have three of them. Well, thats my opinion anyway.

He has reasons. Plus, why even have a trophy?

Can't say he won't happen till later. Just like any other potential character.

While that is true, I just don't see it happening. Of course people are allowed to support whoever they want, and I will never look down on someones opinion.

Not trying to be mean or anything about this "Monado Monday" thingy... but:

Sakurai:
«In order to make Rayman's trophy, we asked Ubisoft to share their references. We were expecting to receive 2D drawing references for Rayman, but to our surprise, THEY SENT US DATA OF A BRAND NEW 3D MODEL THAT THEY RENDERED FOR THIS GAME!! And that was how this trophy was created. It takes a lot of work creating each model, so it's wonderful that the creators contributed their own efforts!!»

Is this hinting towards an Ubisoft Monday rather than a Monado Monday? ;)

Well, it could go both ways (It is Sakurai we are talking about after all) but at the same time Pit had a 3D model in melee, as well as countless other non-playables.

I swear Sakurai looked at us and said "They're all too calm and happy!" then walked over to a cauldron and started concocting a Rayman trophy while cackling.

Remember when everybody was saying Shulk would be too obvious? This is Sakurai making sure he isn't.

Considering the Sal Romano thing that happened, i'm not worried one bit about Shulk. Because even if he isn't revealed today, he surely will be in the final game.
