Kind of an odd coincidence that the march direct was the one that teased Smash Ultimate to begin with! :estatic:

Even if we do get a new direct soon, there may not even be any Smash news in it. I get the feeling Smash will get its own directs, especially for new character reveals.

While you could be right, I really don’t want to see the meltdown that would occur if such a thing happened.

So many people would be freaking out about the continued lack of news, and that would be a big indication of just how limited the newcomers are actually going to be for a game coming out in a little over 4 months.

I think King K. Rool/Dixie Kong have the strength to at least guarantee one of them even with limited roster spots, but that would seemingly be a death knell to a lot of the speculation community...

Doubtful. Pretty much every Direct during a Smash cycle had news about the game.

For the record. Now that Ridley made it in after so much support it would be a crime if K.Rool didn't make it now.
That's why I am almost banking on him getting revealed at some point between now and December.
Good luck to all the supporters.

Smash is the only big game they have left this year. It would be suicidal not to show it.

Nintendo's currently only big games for the Fall is Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, Super Mario Party, and of course Smash.

They may announce some more Wii-U ports for the Fall, but those are the only 3 big new games as of right now.

Ridley and K.Rool really do feel like brothers at this point. Both reptilian pirates who have been denied entry into the Smash Bros series. It just wont feel right if he doesn't make it in. I still expect a whole slew of bro tier art with the two if he does get in.

It would be awesome to see K. Rool reveal trailer making him side with Ridley. A man can dream!

Regarding the confusion about a possible Nintendo Direct on Friday, I want to note that Friday is Sakurai's birthday. It probably doesn't mean anything, but it would be nice if we get some kind of Smash announcement or trailer beyond the usual blog updates.

The entire Smash Bros. community: "Happy birthday, Sakurai! What did you get us?" :laugh:

Doesn’t the Switch online service launch in September? I could imagine a Direct to air alongside that, rather than a random presentation in early August to be honest.

The recent comments Nintendo have made on bringing trailers to Gamescom doesn’t inspire me in terms of a potential Direct happening soon...

It doesn’t disconfirm a Direct happening, but it does seem like their planning to show off more content at Gamescom and they might just choose to do that as opposed to a direct if they really don’t have much to show off at this time.
I could still see a mini-direct happening. 30 minutes to show off stuff that we still know little about like the Luigi's Mansion and Bowser's Inside Story remakes. And of course a character trailer.

Regardless of whether or not it's likely to get a character reveal at Gamescom, I'm hoping we do.

That and info on Three Houses, but mainly a character reveal. :p

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this before or not, but the rumor is that there will be a Direct in August/September, and a Smash focused Direct in October/November. That makes sense, and I expect Smash character reveals in both Directs if this is true.

I would guess this even without supposed "rumors."

Wouldn't put too much into the Gamescon thing there has never been a major announcement from Nintendo about, upcoming games at the event don't go in expecting much. Probably just some stuff we've seen.

Yes Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is there but it's probably there s peeps can enjoy the game. Nothing more nothing less. We'll get news guys just got to hold out a little longer we'll see soon enough.

Now I got to head back into the shadows, all stealth like see you crazy crocs again soon. Stealth might be onto something with his guesses. Who knows later.

Either way! I do just hope we get a new Smash Ultimate reveal soon that does show off something that we haven't already seen (A New Mode, Some New Stages, New Ways To Play Online, Some Newcomers, New Alternate Outfits!!!! Just please give us something new that we haven't seen yet for Bob Saget's wonderful sake!

JUST PLEASE STOP TORTURING US WITH NO NEW INFORMATION/SHOWING INFO WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT ALREADY NINTENDO (I BEG OF YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART)!!!!!!!!!

Something that just dawned on me: if K. Rool is in the game, they probably won't show him until after Diddy is posted on the site.

Keep your eyes open for that.

Has any new fake leak shown today so we can evaluate the lack of creativity of those involved?
There are like 5-10 per day on 4chan, no kidding. Some are just plain absurd, others sound like wishlists. Just a few more ellaborate get the highlights. But probably all are fake.

Enough into the shadow jokes from me, I'm here when I'm here. Anywho there's probably five a day popping up on 4chan.

Just got to know where, to look.

I wonder if Masahiro Sakurai and the development team, for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate see these leaks. And have a good laugh, probably do as some are just too hilarious. Then again they got a wonderful game to make doubt they care.

Not for nothing wouldn't be surprised if Goku and Shrek, and Courage the cowardly dog start popping up in these. Actually hope so cause that would be entertaining.

Considering we're desperate for news, I took it into my hands to recreate that beautiful HD K. Rool from the DKC2 fan art vid. I turned him from Kaptain to King and I decided to turn him into a Smash character! This is what it would be like if he's with the DK characters and what his icon could be. It's definitely a little choppy but I made it in a hurry so yeah...

But I do hope you guys like this.


The perfect DK roster imo


I'll reupdate it some other time to fix the crusty ass damage percentage but eh, I wanted to share this early lol

Confession time: Im not a fan of the Smashified King K. Rool art that Omni made. Mostly the pose. And its the art everyone uses for everthing.
But at least I can expect something a lot better from the Smash team (no offense to Omni and his team of course, since some of their other Smashified art are spot on).

One of my concerns is...if there is a direct on the 3rd...wouldn't they have announced it already?

The Ashley thread is rapidly catching up to K. Rool's thread now. It just made it to 100 pages.

The Ashley thread is on hype alert because Wario Ware Gold comes out tomorrow in the U.S, Wario's bio is on the official site....and well...this is do or die time.

Ashley was an Assist in Smash U, so it's also possible she could easily be deconfirmed if they upload an Assist trophy Ashley pic in the next day or two. So I can see why they're nervous. I want Ashley too.

If it was for us and King K. Rool, I'd be having a mental breakdown.
