Ok, maybe not WFT's *** but something good. Why reveal Yoshi tonight when everyone is expecting it? Assist trophy, gameplay, a totally random vet... Yoshi could be revealed at any time.
Who cares if everyone expects it or not? I doubt Sakurai concerns himself overmuch (if at all) in constantly one-upping his "attempts" to outdo our expectations every subsequent weekday - certainly not the expectations of the Smashboards Daily Pic commentators (whose comments I'd be shocked to learn that he'd ever once read through).

Besides, many past Veterans have been confirmed in conjunction with some relevant release date or other (Zelda, DDD, Diddy, etc.). Today is not the only day with Yoshi relevancy, true, but if Sakurai does indeed not show Yoshi in today's update, I strongly doubt it would be because he fears that he would be viewed as "predictable".

Because pretty much every character reveal has been with the there respected game release. Plus Yoshi is the only original 8 that hasnt been revealed yet. And its Friday, better way to start the weekend with Chicken Wings and Yoshis confirmation :)

If he didn't fear he would be viewed as predictable, then he wouldn't have built himself a reputation as a huge troll lol.

Sakurai's gonna troll us with:

Pic of the day. Here's Mega Man standing. The item, Egg, will not be returning from SSB.
No it will be like this:

Speaking of which, if everything pans out, I want my wings sent via raven if that's not too much trouble.

Hype train feeds on unpredictability. Not nearly as fun if you know what's coming. That's why Lucario/Marth/Little Mac/Rosalina made the forums blow up, because no one was expecting those characters to be revealed at that time. Oh, and I had chicken wings for lunch.

It's 1:35 AM, I'm sipping tea, doing my english journals, listening to music, and waiting for a picture I'm mentally capable of waiting.

I'm still not too sure we'll see something though. I am very skeptical, but I'll be thrilled to be wrong.

I'd be surprised if Sakurai knows - or ever will know - that he has such a reputation attributed to him.

His aim is to reveal information morsel by morsel. He's naturally going to want to surprise us, but I don't think he sits there at his office desk and goes "Hmmmm, how will I outdo myself this time? :troll:"

Point being that he isn't beholden to any of us (or our perceptions of him) when it comes to his daily pics. The only thing that he's beholden to is whatever aspect of the game he feels like showing off on a particular day. If he's perceived as a troll, it's only because one assumes he has some kind of pattern/timetable/plan to follow - that, and that most pics offer only small glimpses into the game to begin with.

tl;dr Yoshi has a strong, though evidently not guaranteed, chance at being confirmed within the next hour or two.

''Pic of the Day! Birdo joins the battle! Prior to this installment of Smash Brothers Yoshi was a playable character. This time we decided to try something a little different! We hear that Birdo likes to be called Birdetta. Huh."

yoshi rep confirmed
Poochy :troll:
Speaking of which, I'd honestly love to see Poochy as an Assist Trophy in Smash.

Just imagine the way he acts in the first Yoshi's Island (kicking items around, auto-jumping at a wall/edge, running over people, being controlled by who stands on top of him), and then put that into Smash Bros.

"To commemorate the NA release of Yoshi's New Island, Kamek joins the collection as an assist trophy. Enjoy!"

You know what really gets my hype going? The fact that we're getting a Smash 4. :troll:

Surprises are nice for us and beneficial for Sakurai, since it generates further interest in the game. But I find getting meaty chunks of information satisfying overall anyway, whether or not I had expected them.

I didn't expect Lucario to be shown when he was, but I did expect Dedede to be shown when he was - and I appreciated both updates in equal measure. As I most certainly would be should Yoshi be indeed shown in this week's closing update.

If you enjoy being consistently surprised, however, I bear you no ill will. I simply don't think that Sakurai is obligated to be unpredictable, is all.

Yeah yeah I know how you are with Raven mail. You want wing or drumlet?
Actually, thinking about it, I think it would be insensitive to ask a bird to carry fried bird carcass around. :ohwell:

Just drive up to Canada and drop them off by my place.

They can drop some wings off by my place in Canada too! I didn't say Sakurai is obligated, but it would be nice!

So, I assume in between 1-2 hours we will see the picture! Great. I actually hope it's not Yoshi and someone totally random, like Lucas or Ike.

If Bowser Jr ever gets in Smash he's not going to rep Yoshi. He'll be Mario with his daddy.

Let's begin speculation on what shade of green Yoshi will have in the game? His hue seems to change between games from a pale jungle green to a pine or pea green. Though in Brawl it went more towards a pea green. Personally, I want something that'll pop like a vivid shade of pea green. Think lighter than Luigi.

Was Bowser Jr. ever in a Yoshi game? I thought that was just Baby Bowser.
Baby Bowser and Bowser Jr. get easily mixed up for some people.
Partners in Time only made it worse, with Baby Bowser having Bowser Jr.'s appearance and sound clips from Double Dash. (although you could say that it's natural, if you consider that Bowser Jr. resembles Bowser from his youth and that his scarf is a hand-me-down from Bowser.)

Sh#$ I tried typing in
http://www.smashbros.com/jp/characters/yoshi.html
but to no avail...heck maybe that link will actually work in a few hours.
I tried doing that with Little Mac immediately after the direct. Took about 30 minutes to an hour if I recall for the website to actually update.
