gime nes. GIMEE NESZ.

No but seriously. We're not getting a character tonight, I do, however, think we'll get one next week, being a month after the Direct and all.

I'm not sold on us getting a character, but I'm hoping for something exciting like a new stage.

Next week could be interesting. By Saturday we're officially a month away from E3.

It only shows up once per page, on the first post you have on said page. Top post shows it just fine.

Does anyone know if Japan even celebrates Mother's Day? I would put my money on something Mother related if that were the case next week, but it's on a weekend last I checked.

Yes they do.

 

[Radical Bones]

ive heard its the same day.

While it's not universal, most countries celebrate it on the second Sunday of May, including Japan.

Japan do celebrate Mother's Day, but I think it's a real stretch to think that we're going to get anything, especially when he's ignored more obvious holidays and events.

I'd say it's not that big of a stretch in context to the Mother franchise. Hell, the starting town in Mother 1 known in the US as Podunk is called Mother's Day.

 

[Jigglymaster]

Yes, reveal Meta Knight to celebrate the American release of the already celebrated game that he doesn't show up in.

Logic.

Perfect time and reasoning to announce Captain Falcon

 

[Deleted member]

I read your whole text correctly the first time. There's no guarantee that Meta Knight will be revealed, I know that, but your reasoning for saying it is illogical to expect him is just wrong since it is based on trends that have been observed from past veteran reveals, trends which I might like to point out are based on limited data and not exactly close to being consistent, so relying on them to make the claim that expecting Meta Knight tonight is illogical is not the best idea. Going by the trends we've been seeing it would have been logical for Yoshi to have been revealed with his game and a pokemon to be revealed with the release of X and Y, but they weren't and that might seem illogical according to the rules we have but these "rules" we're placing on the reveals of characters are not really rules, they're just trends we have observed and therefore used those trends to predict future reveals. Other rule breakers were Luigi, Peach, Marth, and Lucario. The ones who do conform to your rules for veteran reveals are Olimar, King Dedede, Toon Link and Zelda. Really, you have more deviations and exceptions to the rules on veteran reveals than you do characters that conform to the rules you think are in place. The only rules for character reveals we can safely say exist is that newcommers only get revealed in Nintendo Directs, since that rule has a really good track record.

In other words, you have no idea what you're talking about.
You seem to think I'm implying there's some "rule" about when veterans get revealed. I'm not.
I'm saying that by the logic of reveals tied to release dates, Meta Knight being revealed tonight has absolutely no sense of logic.
But since you've decided to bring up the veterans revealed on absolutely random days, allow me to show you where you just ruined your whole train of thought.

Random Reveals: Luigi, Peach, Sonic, Marth, Zero Suit Samus, Sheik, Yoshi, Charizard
These are all characters revealed on days that hold absolutely no significance to these characters or their franchises (though some argue that Peach is to tie in to the anniversary of Super Mario Bros.' release the following day).

Release Tie-Ins: Olimar, Toon Link, Zelda, Dedede, Diddy Kong
These are all characters revealed on the Japanese release dates (with Diddy Kong being sole exception for specific reasoning) of a game in their franchises where they hold significant roles.

Other: Lucario

Lucario is the only one that breaks the mold thus far. He was revealed to celebrate the 6th anniversary of Brawl's Japanese release.

What you're proposing is that Meta Knight be revealed tonight as a Release Tie-In.
Let's break it into your skull why this doesn't work;
-It's not a Japanese release. Diddy Kong may have been revealed on Tropical Freeze's American release, but that is solely because a global Nintendo Direct fell on the Japanese release. Also worth noting that Tropical Freeze is the only game where the American (and European, since it was same day) release was even acknowledged.
-It's a game that's already got a character reveal tied into it; Dedede. No game thus far has multiple release acknowledges.
-Meta Knight IS NOT IN IT. All release tie-ins actually have something of importance to do with the games they are revealed to tie-in for. Meta Knight? Has nothing to do with Triple Deluxe aside from Circus Kirby able to use a balloon of him and Dark Meta Knight's surprise appearance for the Extra Mode.


So, the only option here is that he's another random reveal. Which would be very illogical to predict his reveal to be tonight, since the point of a random reveal is to be, well....RANDOM.

If we're going to be talking logically, then the probability of having Meta Knight revealed tonight is a lot higher than it is most nights and therefore is not illogical to expect him revealed tonight.

1. With the Halberd stage returning, Meta Knight is definitely a returning veteran
2.Meta Knight is the only remaining unrevealed veteran associated with the Kirby franchise.
3. The chances of him being revealed during a PotD are highest on days that are relevant to the Kirby franchise
4. Today is a relevant date for the Kirby franchise, possibly the most relevant between now and when the game gets released.

1. Irrelevant as to why tonight is supposedly "the night" for Meta Knight. Wario's got two assists shown already, Captain Falcon's got his rival returning as an assist, and the Ice Climbers have their Polar Bear enemies in Smash Run. They are definitely returning as well; what puts Meta Knight ahead of them?
2. Irrelevant point.
3. Not factoring in newcomers, Luigi, Peach (though some debate this), Sonic, Marth, Lucario, Zero Suit Samus, Sheik, Yoshi, and Charizard were all revealed on days irrelevant to their franchises. Also, plenty of opportunities passed for other unreleased veterans (including Yoshi prior to the Smash Direct) with days relevant to their franchises and didn't get revealed at those times. What makes Meta Knight so likely to be shown off for an American release of a game that Sakurai's already celebrated and doesn't even have Meta Knight in it as opposed to just being one of many random reveals on random days?
4. Which means absolutely nothing.

Whoa, I so did not know this. I've almost posted 1000 times and I seriously only noticed this today. I gotta stop doing so much meth...

Thanks!

I'd say it's not that big of a stretch in context to the Mother franchise. Hell, the starting town in Mother 1 known in the US as Podunk is called Mother's Day.

Definitely not saying it's impossible. It'd be nice, and pretty funny too.

Pic of the day. We didn't introduce ALL of the Assist Trophies in the Smash Bros. Direct. Here's Dillon from Dillon's Rolling Western!! He may rival Sonic in the art of rolling.

Pic of the day. This is his trophy. He may be an animal, and his buckles are definitely on the adorable side, but there's no denying he looks cool!! His Assist Trophy can even do things like a quick charge.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

Dillon confirmed!!! As an assist trophy.

Edit: I was too late.

[Shroob]

Well there just went a lot of people's hopes and dreams.

 

[WIldBam]

@GoldenYuiitusin oh well, seems you were right about no meta knight appearing tonight, I still have my disagreements about the statement being illogical, but I suppose it is a moot point now, If you wish to discuss it further I suppose we can.

and it looks like Dillon is an assist trophy, that's pretty cool.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

Is it wrong that I want him as a character now?

 

[Sonsa]

Oh hey, Dillon! Yeah, he could've made for a neat character I suppose, but doesn't he just roll a lot like Sonic? Guess Sakurai's trying to say that with this post. Dillon seemed like perfect assist trophy status, and he looks really cool here! But um... okay so when are we supposed to see Meta Knight? I already explained why I think E3 would be a bad time, but I guess that's all that's left for Meta and Ice Climbers...?

 

[Shroob]

Is it wrong that I want him as a character now?

A bit too late for that.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Whoa that's awesome, I love AT reveals, and this guy deserved representation one way or another.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

That's a really nice model compared to the other assist trophies. Nice to see Dillon's gonna be rollin' around at the speed of sound too. Dillon appearing also give me hope for Pushmo getting some representation.

 

[FunkyKapu615]

he look sweet

 

[Cap'nChreest]

A bit too late for that.

He looks so cool next to Sonic. Idk. It totally is late and I don't really care but I think he looks cool.

 

[Staarih]

I always thought Dillon would be a cool addition as a playable character, but AT works too, at least he gets some representation and he looks AWESOME! Now here's hoping for more eShop-material (Pushmo anyone?).

 

[Silvera]

Shame he's not playable. He looks too good to be an assist trophy.

 

[Neo Zero]

At this point, either we get another Smash Direct that like MK8s that just tells us everything, or theyre both hidden this time. E3 as well could work I guess.

Dillon looks like a boss. Still, my sympathy for his supporters

 

[Krysco]

Who or what is this Dillon character? (Aside from the obvious fact that he's an armadillo) Like does he have an entire series or just one game? Never heard of this guy =P Either way he looks cool.

 

[Shroob]

And now, for some reason, I have a strange feeling that we'll get a random character reveal next week... I dunno why except that May started really strong in terms of non-direct stuff.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Is it wrong that I want him as a character now?

Right? Total badass right here.

 

[Rosalina suporter]

He looks awesome seems like a cool AT.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Dillon was one of those characters I secretly hoped for.

Still, this is pretty neat!

He looks beautiful......

 

[Radical Bones]

NOOOOO!!

The day I take him out of my sig, Sakurai disconfirms him.

What have I done. :'(.

I'm glad he appears though. Geez, he looks absolutely amazing.

Now I know how Waluigi supporters feel. It fricken sucks.

 

[Sonsa]

Another one in between April 8 and E3? I dunno... And no way the would or should reveal everything, Sakurai loves his surprises and secrets as well as many of his fans (including me XD) Hidden? It would be so weird to unlock Ice Climbers but um...maybe I guess, if they had to make room for Luigi, Lucario and others not being unlockable anymore. E3? Maybe, but they'd be so easily overshadowed by newcomer announcements which would definitely come first. No way they're cut, Meta Knight and Ice Climbers are both unique and staple characters it seems. I dunno. Whaaatever. E3's on the way, so I don't feel to gypped or anything.

 

[NintendoKnight]

Dude, I didn't care about this character much, but DANG does he look cool here!

Good to have you, Dillon!

Now, to visit his support thread (if he has one, but I'm sure he does) and offer up my condolences.

 

[Lightosia]

It is nice that he got some recognition, even if he is only an Assist.

If we get more Dillon games, I can see him joining in the next Smash Bros.

 

[RoboticOperatingBuddy17]

man is it bad that the first thing i thought was "boy AEM's not gonna be too thrilled"

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Dillon is one of those characters I can see grow into a new series that gets into Smash.

At the same time, I can see Nintendo never using the brand again. Apparently, The Last Ranger did terribly, which was a real shame.

 

[Radical Bones]

I've never truly experienced being a delusional Smash Bros fan, but right now these are my thoughts:

'Wait, what?'

'NOOOOO'

'Wait a minute, maybe Sakurai is trolling.'

'Yeah, Sakurai is definitely trolling. I bet he ends up being unlockable.'

'That Sakurai is so sneaky!'

'Look at the trophy. His character model is awesome, I can't wait to see his trailer.'

'I love Sakurai, he's so funny. He pretended to disconfirm one of my most wanted characters, what a trickster.'

Seriously, I've gone insane. I understand why there are so many people on this site that still debate Ridley. My sympathy has become empathy.

 

[Vintage Creep]

Very nice. I would've liked him playable but he didn't really stand much of a chance to be honest.
Still hoping for Shulk, Paper Mario and Professor Layton not to be disconfirmed in this sense.

 

[juddy96]

Is it just me, or while reading Sakurai's caption did u see "He may rival Sonic in the art of trolling."

2:43 am. My eyes are playing tricks on me.

 

[Nintendotard]

Good for Dillon getting in some way! But i guess i have to move him to the rejected side in my sig. Poor lad

Did you just achieve understanding on the internet?
