I'm up, heh.

i think there's 45 mins left.
I dont know where the video will show up, but probably on the youtube smash channel, and hopefully twitter.
Where can I find the presentation?
I assume since they already know how long the video is going to be that it's already been recorded, so the entire thing won't be streamed but rather it's just a video that gets uploaded to Nintendo's Youtube. Well, that's my hypothesis anyway.

Yeah, that is a possibility. Nintendo's twitch channel still has the E3 banner on it so it could just be a video.
However, it could still be streamed. Otherwise, I don't think they would say "tune in".

I think they might just have Sakurai play the game and show him off.
The picture they used show him with a controller and it says "demo" so it could be a streamed video of him playing.

Either way, video or stream, I am very thrilled for the Avat...I mean Hero news and release date.

I'm up!

Unfortunate that it looks like there won't be a stream link, so I'm just refreshing Nintendo's YouTube and Twitter.

Edit: Here's the YouTube link, it's where I think it will show up: https://www.youtube.com/user/Nintendo/videos

Edit 2: and the Twitter link, but I'm not 100% sure it will be the Versus link or not: https://twitter.com/NintendoVS

Edit 3: Yeesh, 2 minutes left and still, no link. Japan must be panicking right now.

Of the songs I really wanted 3/4 got in!

Also, the one DQ3 mii fighter is the Martial Artist, my favourite one.

The female Heroes didn't show up after all, *sigh*

At least we have a Veronica Mii costume, and the Martial Artist Mii can be female, I guess.

That was pretty crazy.

While yeah, the fact that the spells on Hero's Command Selection are random, they still seem pretty strong. Like, Zoom seems absolutely OP and Thwack is just bonkers. Though we have no idea if Oomph and Psyche Up will stack on one another for wacko amounts of damage.

Also, Erdrick's real name is Arusu?! I didn't even know he had an actual name like that!

He did the Chest/Cannibox thing just as I said that time! (Well is not a regular item and don't have the Minimedal, but excluding this is exactly like I said)

I'm quite impressed! But it honestly wouldn't take much to make me happy with DQ being in Smash.

Not sure how I feel about the Down-B being random, but it's only one move so I don't see it as too big of a problem.

Very happy that we got more than two songs, and we even got some Mii Costumes! Great stuff all around!

Can't wait to try them out myself, they look really fun.

WAR CRY IS IN THE GAME PEOPLE.

Sad that Hero comes on July 31st instead of today for me doh, for some weird reason.

The random crits i think is what's going to be annoying to talk about with people at tournaments. I can imagine a lot of salt for losing to that.
Other than that I'm really surprised and glad to see how they did the random spells. and.. acceleratle :O

it's sad that sakurai didn't even talk about the female versions at all. I would've liked to at least know what his thoughts on them were.
Now i'll be waiting for the patch to see what else is in smash.

Also, I dont know how many people noticed, but MP recovers on its own AND when you hit someone.
It recovers a lot when you hit someone, actually :)

Really like the music selection!

Kinda sucks that it just seems to be the MIDI tracks, but hey, they're still great.
Still awesome to have the wonderful War Cry in the game even as a MIDI.

I’m gonna blast the hell out of that tune for a long time.

Also, I'm glad Sakurai cleared up the name thing.

It was driving me up the wall seeing people all around the internet saying "the heroes don't have canon names!" and calling them all numbers...

Maybe that'll stop now, lol.

I mean most of the smash fan base is ignorant to that fact that's what we have to deal with when a new series joins the party

I'm calling it right now, there's going to be skill for how fast someone can open and close the command menu and look at which spells there are to use. To fish for a good spell (or a buff)

Careful not to close it on a good spell ;p

Looking back at the Spells, I now have so many questions.

1) Can Metal Slash OHKO characters that have picked up the Metal Box?
2) What are all the effects you can get out of Hocus Pocus?
3) What does Sizzle do? We have no idea at all what it does ever since we saw it in the E3 trailer.
4) Are there more spells to choose from besides the ones shown?
5) How much range does Thwack even have?
6) Can Hatchet Man/Critical Hits shield-break?
