Behind your eyes.
Someone needs to do a Jeopardy parody thing featuring the Smash characters as contestants (and Master Hand or Sakurai as the host). XD

Why not Luigi's nose in WFT's butt? You can have two if you can't settle for one!

I might just be your man for that job.

Could make a nifty forum game too.

Let's say he doesn't reveal a character in March. Why would he forsake us like that? Let's examine the possibilities:

Optimistic reasoning: he's planning a massive, multi-character reveal for the net Direct as well as at E3, and wants to save as many characters as possible for these huge reveals.

Pessimistic reasoning: SSB4 will be releasing in December, and Nintendo told him/he decided to slow down the hype train so that he'll have plenty of veterans to reveal in October, November, etc.

I think there's an even worse reason that the game won't be done in time to make it's 2014 deadline.

If I'm remembering correctly, the last time he did a two-characters-in-one-month thing, the following month he didn't reveal any veterans or newcomers at all. If there's no veteran reveal in the remaining days in March, I'm going to guess he's using previous 2-in-1 months to compensate for it.

I'm stuck at work. That's a good sign for a vet reveal. I've missed over half because of this job.

Get hype.

We are on the final stretch. Battling the end of March. Battling sleep. Battling hype. Battling the almighty king of trolls that is known by the name of Masahiro Sakurai. To commemorate these battles, I present to you, one of the best songs from Brawl.

You know Sakurai might not think of the updates in terms of months at all?

I really want a character reveal today or next week or any time, really.

But my gut says we'll see something new but not a character.

It should be up in about 10 minutes. Do the math.

If there is a character reveal wouldn't it be tonight? I can't see them revealing someone on a monday or a day that isn't friday but who knows.

Welp, Sakurai usually updates early when he intends to reveal a character. It's almost time for the regular update, so lose hype...

Pessimism and optimism are two sides of the same coin. It could be neither, it could be both. Personally I see two likely scenarios.

A) Sakurai could be slowly building down hype to really hit us out of nowhere with something amazing. @Venus of the Desert Bloom noted recently that it's almost the end of the year there, and while he believes something for the end of the year would be appropriate, I think the inverse is equally possible, and he'd be starting out the new year/month with a bang.

B] They've already shown us all the "good stuff" they are willing to show us for now, and are going to expand on vague areas rather than just overcompensating for delays/news droughts with characters. It may even be possible Sakurai is waiting on Nintendo's say to reveal certain things (Yoshi being pushed back to New Island's international release, for example).

All in all, I don't think it matters much. We'll likely forget all about it once we get inevitably closer to E3, aside from the "at least it wasn't as bad as March" comments from time to time.

Truth be told, I do kinda hope the game comes out later than sooner. I'd rather a 2015 release so they can fine tune everything/include as much as they can (no not characters/anything specifically, but I'd hate to see cool ideas scrapped again).

Oh yeah, an early heads up, but apparently Golden week starts exactly one month from now...

Which either means
A.No updates for a week.
B.Fantantasic themed updates every day that week.
C.Terrible themed updates every day that week.
D.Mediocore themed updates every day that week.
E.Absolutely nothing.
So in short, it could mean anything.

What does Venus mean by the year almost being over? Is it like a fiscal year or some labor thing?

Also, October 2013 was worst month for pics.
