Interesting, hopefully we'll see some veterans revealed with the new fighter.

Ryu from Street Fighter 2 would be interesting
Not a chance, Capcom already has Megaman as their mascot, Ryu wouldn't be able to bring his combos into the game (however some of his moves can be given to other characters, since Megaman is using a variation of his iconic uppercut.)

This would have to be a real hype builder if Sakurai had to give it it's own trailer separate from the direct.

I'm saying Ridley, K. Rool, or one of the Gematsu Trio.
Agreed sir ! Get that gator off his rocking chair, even Cranky Kong is more active than the Big Bad King himself with Tropical Freeze. My fingers crossed for another Metriod character OTHER THAN RIDLEY.

I don't like the fact that the Xenoblade guys retweeted the tweet and stuff. If it is Shulk, there would be no suprise at all since a big hint was given.

My bets are on Shulk and Falcon
I hope they're going to have a veteran character as well like the Greninja trailer. Cpt. Falcon will be unlockable so I don't think they'll reveal him just yet, I would predict maybe Wario or Meta Knight. :colorful:

OK i'm calling that when SSB5 Is announced And they are picking the roster it will include a Art Academy Character the Inkling from Splatoon and Impa as playable characters If An Art Academy Character does get announced one day i will Scream with Joy and tell the world i called it!
EDIT : Vince would be a great choice it would also be easy to come up with a moveset Just by looking at him!

I kind of hope that the reveal isn't for Shulk. I want him in the game, but with the Monolith Soft dev retweeting the Smash tweet, it would kind of ruin the surprise of the announcement. I'm hoping for someone completely out of the blue to be revealed, or should I say purple, if you catch my cold.

Enough with Ridley! He is NOT and very likely WILL NOT be a part of the roster and as per the April Nintendo Direct is instead strongly suggested to be a boss on Pryosphere the same way the Yellow Devil terrorizes Dr. Wily's Castle! Sheesh I swear people who swear up and down that the purple foe of Samus Aran will be playable are like South Park's take on Al Gore (ManBearPig anybody?)

Any more guest fighters would be out of the question as Hideo Kojima hasn't requested that Snake return for round 2 and not to mention is busy himself with Metal Gear Solid 5 as we speak! Three guests is plenty along with the fact that Pac-Man being in the game kills any chance for a Tekken and or Soul Caliber character of making it in and same goes for any Street Fighter reps thanks to MegaMan's inclusion.

A veteran like Captain Falcon being revealed would be nice, but we all know how Sakurai is ;) Besides, if Samurai Goroh returning as an assist trophy is anything to go on...(Any F-Zero stage being confirmed would ALSO be a dead giveaway)

If the Gematsu leaked is to be believed (Ike having surprisingly returned has shrunk a FE: Awakening rep's chances by a LARGE percent), I'd say either the XenoBlade rep or *shudders* a rep from a game hardly anybody played will show their mug tomorrow night.

In that case, Ridley will totally be playable in this game! "I'm super cereal"

Don't be ridiculous. I'm not saying Ridley will be in, but the Direct, considering Sakurai's track record, is hardly evidence of anything.

Not really sure what is up with people's beef with Shulk, the Gamatsu Leak, or Monolith Soft's retweets.

First of all, you can't tell me that everyone is going to enjoy every single character that gets revealed in a game. Like it or not, Xenoblade is among the new wave of popular Nintendo games. Having new characters from new franchises appeals to a wider audience. And given the history behind that game, it will be pretty hype just seeing a new character in the game at all. I mean look at how well received the Fire Emblem characters were before anyone even knew what Fire Emblem was.

Second, sure the Gamatsu leak is pretty much everywhere by now. But it should have been obvious people would be talking about leaks in a community based around that series. You exposed yourself to the leak and you have no one to blame but yourself. Everyone has the ability to ignore information given to them and just walk away.

And lastly, if you made it as far as hearing the information about Monolith Soft's retweets, you purposely exposed yourself to the information. No excuses.

That all aside, I'm personally excited for tomorrow. Shulk or not. I've been blown away by every trailer so far, even after being exposed to the information. I won't be disappointed with tomorrow's trailer either.
