I still think Shulk is very likely.

Rayman is a red herring, I can't see a 3rd party playable character being initially revealed so casually like that. (It could point towards Rayman being a dlc character down the line though)

But at the same time you know Sakurai WOULD do that.

Agreed. Sakurai has done several things like this before. For example, he showed the metroid assist trophy one day before the smash direct, which made a s**t storm over at the Ridley thread because everyone thought Sakurai hinted at Ridley. and we all know how that turned out

That and the fact that Sakurai hasn't exactly been known to reveal characters by showing their trophies before the actual character.

Still, that being said, I thought the pic of the day was fake when I saw it. Because I really do love Rayman and it seemed too good to be true that he'd be in the game in any capacity. This does seem to be a deconfirmation for now, though. DLC would be Rayman's best bet.

I doubt Rayman would get revealed today. He's a third party character; wouldn't his appearance be a bit more grand if he was playable? It's odd to reveal him so casually like this.

Thats the bait. After how Pac-Man was revealed, i dont know what to think anymore. Perhaps we dont even get neither Shulk or Rayman today, Sakurai is may just playing with our minds. Evil, evil monster.

As time gets closer, it's natural for doubt levels to escalate. Just find your happy place and try to relax (the best that you can). Really, we create all of this. Sakurai could've just easily been like "Hm, I want to show off Ubisoft's hard work and have Rayman featured as the PotD!" and then we come up with all sorts of scenarios of him trolling, etc :laugh:

Come on Shulk Please be Shulk, and I don't think it will be Rayman because why will he leak him before the event

That is what i'm also thinking. Smash fans love to overspeculate every PotD. (I've seen some s**t over at the Ridley thread, trust me) Not that there is anything wrong with that though, it just gets kinda tiring after awhile.

Because, no matter the outcome, this is, was, and will always be, Reyn Time.

Why don't you guys have a sub-forum yet? Oh, the reveal hasn't happened yet? It might aswell have happened.

Sit back and relax, everyone else on the board knows it's Shulk already thanks to the combination of a retweet and Sal's recent re-appearance, you guys should be more confident than anyone else.

I will admit that I think the Rayman trophy is extremely left field, but yeah, I wouldn't worry about looking so hard into things when the reveal is literally only a couple hours away.

Yeah, getting people to relax is the goal here... *sigh*

That's what I said before. Sakurai has a reputation now for being a troll so anything he says will be put under a microscope. I'm convinced if Sakurai posted a picture of himself during lunch break reading a newspaper people would assume he's hinting Ridley is going to be the announcer for Smash 4.

I want Shulk in, I really do, but I hope is isn't Shulk, I want to see somebody who's not from the Gematsu thing, but I will say of the 3MB that is the remaining Gematsu characters, Shulk is the only one I want.

Sal Romano saying it's Shulk being revealed may have killed some people's hype... but it increased mine, rofl. XD
Indeed. And then...early in the morning...a wild Rayman appears to take the baton out of Shulk's hand on runs in the opposite direction!

Basically, people are starting to get all kinds of ideas now around the forums.

You are a dam liar, lol. Many of your posts in Isaac suport thread are the best example of Shulk hate. Go away. I will never support Shulk more than Isaac. And im constantly explaining what Isaac deserves as much if not more to appear in Smash. But im never rooting against Shulk like you did.

Palutena was one of my most requested characters, so when she was revealed I was surprised at how little my excitment was for the trailer. I thought maybe because of all the leaks I expected her to be there and therefore no surprise. So I was getting worried the same would happen to me with Shulk. Needless to say Friday when I heard of the possibility of Shulk getting announced on Monday I was running around my house screaming and throwing any cat that was in my way. So yeah, I say i'm pretty excited.

I find it kind of funny how people immediately say that Rayman will be confirmed because of that trophy, when before this day everyone said that being confirmed a trophy before being confirmed "playable" directly deconfirmed that character. I probably could have worded that better.

It's different with third party characters.

No. Wonder Red is owned by Nintendo.

Eh I honestly find it hard to believe that they're not messing with us, even if just as a joke. I mean they're not stupid, I'm sure they're aware of the drama and doubt that revealing a Rayman trophy on today of all days would create.

He never once hated on Shulk, he just didn't want Shulk to be announced today and didn't like the Gematsu leak (and wanted Isaac more). Which is exactly the same with me.

The difference is its never happened for a third-party before. Agreed on the notion that its unlikely.

I like to think Sakurai isn't aware of it at all.

Just a few hours left.

It was hard to get excited for such a ****ty trainer like Palutena's. It is hands down the worst newcomer trailer so far.

And yeah, she was also one of my most requested characters.

While this is true, I just think everyone is jumping the gun a bit too much. The first thing I thought when I read the PotD was "Oh, this is a pretty cool homage to Ubisoft. This way third parties that don't make it on the roster may still be in the game in some form." Well, maybe I had a shorter thought process then that.

Just listen, and wait. Some of you may not want Shulk because of Gematsu, but that's okay. While you're here, just listen, and be reminded of why Shulk is a good choice.

This scenario is true, I was just providing an example as how things are presented to us, it's guaranteed that we'll make a huge deal out of things when it could easily be something minor. But of course, that's where the fun lies!

As much as I'd like people to relax since the reveal is only two hours away and we'll finally have an answer, I'll admit that it's exciting to still have a fair sense of doubt in the atmosphere. Even after the RT, Sal's posts, doubt still remains. Adds to the hype of the reveal.

You aparently didnt readed this:
Shulk sucks, his name sounds like this



Ladies and gentleman, the next Newcomer, The Immortal, Shulk Shogan!

Please, I want Isaac more than Shulk Shogan, Shulk is a loser and I don't give a crap about Xenoblade because Xenoblade sucks.



Look at this B word, he looks like something Square came up with, I don't want this piece of garbage in Super Smash Bros, I have enough guys to beat up, I don't need another.

This is the Newcomer we're getting.



Golden Sun is better than Xenoblade, therefore Isaac gets added.

Shulk can go be a Assist Trophy.
And that is just an example.

I don't think anyone is actually against Shulk being in Smash. Some are just hoping he isn't announced today specifically.
