Only 30 mins? How much is there to talk about beyond Smash? And how many vets are going to be revealed, considering the invitational is happening then too?

I feel like we may get a bunch of surprise reveals outside of E3.

We'd have to considering how the game is launching this year. I don't think Smash will take much time away from other titles in the main Direct, but I expect quite a few reveals sprinkled throughout E3.

That being said, Ridley's best bet is still the main Direct presentation. If he isn't revealed then, don't get your hopes up for a random WFT reveal.

Sorry if the question is stupid, but does this mean that Nintendo's June 12th E3 presentation will only be 30 minutes long or is this direct something like extra?

It will only be 30 minutes long, though more games will almost definitely be revealed in the Direct. Last year had a similar situation (Direct + several days of a Treehouse stream), and Metroid: Samus Returns wasn't revealed until the Treehouse stream despite being much further along than Metroid Prime 4.

Judging from Ridley's apperance in E3's Melee showing, the wait for Ridley has been going on for 17 years.

Will Tuesday bring it to a close? A wait longer than the one for Duke Nukem?

Was here till the end for the last Ridley support thread, would be nice to see everyone from there return to this thread, and hopefully we get Ridley this time.

Sakurai will appear on the Direct to only tell the viewers that Ridley will never be in Smash before presenting a trailer for the next two newcomers: new swordsmen with counters from the upcoming Fire Emblem game on Switch.

Don't take it as the Gospel truth.
That being said, very strong chance the Vergeben leak is correct, and the ResetEra teasing has merit.

We will see what happens then. I do wonder if the pre-recorded Nintendo Direct footage will be leaked. I heard the Direct was pre-recorded. Is that true?

And here we go, the final stretch till we get to know if Ridley ends up being in Smash this time or not. I don't buy the size excuse one bit, make it happen this time Nintendo.

My go to argument for Ridley is, if Ganondorf remains unaltered, as in doesn't truly represent him from the game he's from or any version of him from any game in the Zelda series, then a downsized Ridley should be just as valid.

Wait, we have people claiming Vergeben as fully true because Konami will do something with Nintendo? And that’s it?

Maybe let’s temper our expectations a bit. Methinks we’re going a bit overboard.

While the fact that Vergy’s leak is making things look very good for Riddles, remember that all leaks are false until proven true. And even then, remeber how Chrom was confirmed since Gematsu got WFT?

There’s no character more deserving than Ridley, but I’m not believing a thing until I see a purple pterosaur victory screen. Until then, all I’ll be is hopeful.

But this will be a looooooong week.

There's that many rumors and supposed leaks going around, that of course some of them are going to be true.

We're at a point where we're approaching the finish line, but there are two paths before us. The one path loops back around - this is where we've been running the past decade. The other path leads straight to the finish line (playable Ridley). Hopefully this time we can make it to the finish line and to victory. Whilst things seem to be going in favour of DasVergeben's leak, it's too early to claim victory. Remember, when racers celebrate early, they can often fall flat on their faces and someone else beats them to the finish line. Let's be patient, and hope for the best.

It's more, there's evidence Vergeben knew about upcoming castlevania compilation/etc on the switch before today's lineup for the switch was announced, and the person who told him this also told him about snake/belmont iirc.

DasVergeben said:
  • being developed by Bandai Namco
  • the game is infact a sequel
  • there will be assets being reused to some extent
Bandai Namco made the last game so it's not too far fetched to guess they would be working on the new one as well.

And about the game being a sequel and reusing assets, apart from the possibility it was going to be an enhanced port of Smash for Wii U, with extra features like content from Smash for 3DS, it wasn't exactly going to be a prequel, and all Smash games carry something over from the previous.

I don't believe he's said any of those, unless you have a link.

I really hope we get him, but I need to wait and see. If he's in, I can't wait to see how he'll look and play. It will be incredible.


But I still think the imgur leak is bull****. Just piggy backing off Vergenban or whatever his name is.

I know for sure and from one of my most credible and proven sources (the one who told me about Metroid Prime 4 being developed by Bandai Namco before anyone else said or knew anything about that) is that Ridley is a newcomer, the game is infact a sequel, but there will be assets being reused to some extent(s).
Sorry I must have taken the first quote out of content by mistake when reading it somehow, but the other 2 (which i highlighted in bold) are true.

It's moreso that there's evidence Verg knew those games were coming despite the official konami lineup not being available 5 days ago.

Someone told me that on the Smashboards discord. With the exception of Free-to-play and Mobile Apps , pretty much all platforms are covered. That's far too broad to be of any significance

Still...I will believe nothing until it’s confirmed. All this does is make it seem that much more likely.

I was optimistic through Sm4sh speculation, but I got really cynical once the final leaks came and of course the worst ones (in my opinion) were the true ones.

So as a cynic: I don’t care if everything Vergy says is true; until Ridley is shown as playable, I’ll be on team hope-for-the-best-but-prepare-for-the-worst.

And you know if he’s shown off, there are going to be loads of people going “Well, he still seems a bit bigger than the others; he’s probably the face of a new ‘playable boss’ mode just to give you something. We’ll see Master Hand gameplay next.”

Remember how last Smash E3 hype led up to a secondary character from a fourth-rate Nintendo franchise being revealed?

Forgive me if I’m not exactly slobbering over these leaks, I’m not about to get all lubed up and ready to go only for Sakurai to pull his usual **** and go “Making video games is hard guys, sorry, here’s three more Kid Icarus characters to make up for it :)

Call me cynical but Pyrosphere shadow was a dark ****ing day. I’m not letting myself get that involved again.

That said, there are exactly two characters who would make me give a **** about this game and they’re Simon Belmont and the big man himself, so if this ruse cruise does come to fruition I’ll actually be excited.
