Japanese Everything for Smash WiiU/3DS (Rumors, Speculations, Impressions, etc)

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

I could have sworn Xeonblade creator twitted Sakurai's tweet before in the same manner. Makes me think that Shulk is in the game, but the creator doesn't know when exactly he's going to be shown. He's just retweeting every time Sakurai makes a big deal out of a character reveal.

To important not to bump.

Look who retweeted Sakurai's post

Looks like Monday's announcement will be Xenosaga related

Hmm.....well, I guess everything does seem to point onto a Xenoblade character being unveiled on Monday.

He did.

Remember, "Game creators can be fans too."

Monolith tweeted in the past.

Did they not?

He's talking about the actual writer, not just Monolith in general.

These are his only gaming related posts in the past year:

• Retweeting Nintendo Direct that revealed Xenoblade Chronicle
• Retweeting Nintendo Direct that revealed Xenoblade Chronicle 2
• Tweeting about Nintendo Event showing Xenoblade Chronicle 2 Trailer
• Monday's New Fighter Announcement for Smash Bros

Judging from this, it would follow the pattern that this new character is Xenoblade related. After all, we expected a new character reveal each bi-monthly worldwide Nintendo Direct (which has held true), but this is the first time he's retweeted a Smash post.

Yet, it can be argued that he doesn't know any more than we do. We don't know the extent other companies are informed of Smash reveals, we could be paying more attention to him since we have expectations of the Sal Romano leak, or perhaps this is simply the first time he's excited to expect a character reveal. After all, only the more hardcore Smash fans know when exactly to expect newcomer reveals, and now it's blunt: We're revealing a character on Tuesday at 10.

Yuichiro Takeda gets suspicious:

He alludes to the fact that 60 people from overseas (here) started following him in one day. People reply to this tweet with excitement about Xenoblade.

Just my thoughts, but if Shulk was going to be shown, it was definitely swapped out. It could explain why the front page of smashbros.com was rushed and Lucina didn't have her Newcomer tag on the home page.

I think that was an artist or someone. This was Takeda, who is the director I believe.

I think people caught on to the whole Twitter thing and perhaps Nintendo caught wind of it. I mean, EVERYONE expected Shulk. Interesting if true. But hey, I just want Shulk in the game.

Oo yes. This is a distinct possibility!

So out of curiosity. Do you know how Japan react to the recent reveal?

It would be pretty interesting to know.

I agree. I'm always really curious about the japanese metagame for smash.

This should be bumped, now that we have the ballot, I'm sure we need as much research into Japanese community as we can.
