Wow, still no PoTD? I guess it's back to Kirby Super Star...

Maybe Sakurai is telling me that I need to defeat Marx before it can be posted!
Hurry it up, we do not have all night.

I getting bored of waiting! mrgrgr!!! (if you get the reference have a cookie)
I liked this post to imply that I understood the reference that I did not understand.

I very much doubt that a newcomer would come randomly without any fanfare.
The best we can hope for (realistically) is a veteran, stage, custom move, item, or that Beyblade-looking mode they haven't revealed yet.
Or a veteran reveal on a new stage using a different custom move with a new item in the foreground during the new Beyblade-looking mode if we did not want to be realistic.

I was saying this because I had to wait like 5-10 seconds of hard refresh of just the jpg url at 6mbps and with 20, it's 1-2 seconds.

So, if he wants to be quick, why the speed doesn't matter in bandwith?
Because a hard refresh does multiple things.
"Sends out a request for the thing's meta data"
*waits for it to return* > You're also looking for a dns request for the website you're trying to load (also very time consuming), while you can have a program just directly send messages to an IP address.

"okay, i definitely want what's here, no matter what, let's start shaking hands*
*waits for web server to raise their hand; oh what's that, webservers queue requests from similar IPs to avoid immediate effects of a single DoS attempt*

"OKAY, NOW WE'RE SHAKING HANDS, GIVE ME THE IMAGE"
*okay, but I'm likely still querying data to other people as web services prioritise meta pings over direct connection requests*
"HOORAY, ITS THE SAME IMAGE AS BEFORE"

Guess what a program does?

Just the first two. It's sending out a single message and waiting for it's return. Protocols, like bureaucracy take time when done at "end-user" level, gotta be a red-tape cutter~

Trust me, I agree with the sentiment that Dark Pit would be the most (pause)... hypenificent. However, newcomers are usually not revealed during the PoTD. Dark Pit is so special and awesome that they would probably have a trailer for him!
I know that I want a BIG reveal for Pittoo, and I don't want him to be a clone, but we COULD have a video...maybe...please?

The first picture in a while that legitimately had me burst out loud laughing. Well done. I hope you don't mind if I repost this on another site.

I'd rather a revamped Ganondorf be revealed in a Villains Trailer alongside Wario and Ridley.

For tonight, I predict Falco. #FalcoFriday

Funny enough, the one night I gave up waiting for the POTD...

It was Meta Knight.

I'd rather a non-revamped Ganondorf be revealed right now for the PoTD alongside no one.

We've had relatively early PotD's all week. This is starting to seem like a larger update, like when Meta Knight was shown and the site was updated with all those extra pages with stage info, etc.

Hoping for something cool tonight!!

Thanks for that. That's the first time someone explained it in a way I understood. Sadly.

Behind your eyes.
I think it'd be nice if Sakurai mentioned my name in one of the remaining updates.

I've been a devoted follower of these pics for months. Some recognition and appreciation would be welcome.

Look at the bright side guys; a late Friday PotD means less time we have to wait over the weekend for the next one!

That was...annoying to understand.

First time an explanation made to be simple actually made it harder.

Anyway, I guess what you imply is that he made a program to optimise that right?

Haste makes waste. Maybe Sakurai really does have something nice for us in store.

What am I saying?! What this PotD will hold is monumental, earth shattering! It will bring about the rise and fall of nations everywhere!

:D Can we expect a release date for the Wii U version?

Nope. Probably more 3DS stuff like all the Fridays in the past month...

Sakurai caught wind of the leaks and is now adjusting the regularly scheduled pic of the day he had in store...

Since so many characters are getting alts of the opposite sex, maybe we'll see Mistress Hand tonight.
