New Character to be Shown Monday

[josh bones]

itll be the last character any of us expect

The spanish inquisition confirmed.

 

[Starphoenix]

Before people start assuming the early announcement indicates it's a "special" character, remember: up until now every character reveal has been attached to a Nintendo Direct of some kind or event. Obviously Sakurai wants to reveal another character, and with no Direct to attach it too he's just going to stream it by itself. Why not just reveal it at EVO is beyond me. But hey, that's Nintendo

 

[Donalp15]

Why Sakurai Why? You could have told me on Sunday, but now I cant sleep for three days...

 

[Reila]

itll be the last character any of us expect

I don't know, there still is a Nintendo Direct in August most likely, so we might get another newcomer besides the Monday one.

 

[Spazzy_D]

so he forgot a character? xD

My hopes

2. Not Gematsu (Isaac, K. Rool, Ray01, anyone... >.>) - pls pls pls (not saying I don't want them in, but if it is then they're probably the only ones left)

Not Gematsu - Dark Pit confirmed.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

I hope that I don't already know which three characters it could be.... gosh leaks kill so much hype.....

 

[Mariobro_]

I'm hoping for Geno, honestly. Either that or Klonoa or something. Klonoa could be possible, I mean Namco is making Smash 4.
Then again, I'm probably just hoping for stuff that'll never happen.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

You know what the funny thing about the hype is? The character most likely won't meet the incredibly high expectations. And yet, I can't help but be hyped.

 

[Stalkos]

I really want some character non-gematsu.
Not that I don't want Shulk, Chorys Boys or Chrom.

I just want to feel that we still really don't know the characters that are still to be revealed. You know, the feeling of surprise and excitement.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Prepare for 3 minutes of Jimmy T's awesome dance moves.

 

[Kamikazek]

At first I thought it was 3 minutes because it would be bookened by Sakurai giving an intro and/or outro, but the Miiverse post makes me think it'll actually be a 3 minute trailer...dang that's long. I wonder what they're going to do with all that time.

 

[SeatreasureReturned]

I hope it is anyone except Shulk, Chorus Men, or Chrom

 

[Phaazoid]

Not Gematsu - Dark Pit confirmed.

I'll have a rope ready just in case

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

There might be emphasis on videos, meaning gematsu is all we're getting before release.

I mean, I doubt we're getting all the veterans revealed.

 

[RascalTheCharizard]

itll be the last character any of us expect

And the winner is

 

[Gravitational23]

OMG hype Its going to be one of these 3. Shulk Chrom or Chorus men.

 

[Frostwraith]

This announcement really came out of nowhere!

3 minutes for a character reveal? This is going to be great!

I don't remember character reveals being so long and why the emphasis on the video's length? Could it be that we're getting multiple characters or perhaps a very hype worthy character?

Anyway, this is going to be a long weekend.

 

[Spazzy_D]

I really want to see Shulk. He is one of my most wanted and I want to stop sweating that stupid leak.

3 minutes is REALLY long though. I wonder if we will get any extra content in the video then, maybe a Charizard style veteran reveal?

 

[Yakko93]

I would like Veteran or newcomer but after Pac-Man, I don't really have any newcomers I want.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

I'll have a rope ready just in case

It took me a second to get it... but the dark humor of this post made me laugh.

 

[Reila]

That is exactly what you are doing lol (I would love Klonoa in Smash, but it is not happening).

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Palutena's video is 3 minutes long, so I wouldn't expect anything else but a single newcomer from the trailer myself.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

I prefer the Gematsu leak that has Dixie Kong as a playable character. Hopefully its her.

 

[cephalopod17]

I am preparing for Shulk, Chorus Kids or Chrom. I want to see Ridley, K. Rool or Mewtwo though.

 

[Kamikazek]

I just want to feel that we still really don't know the characters that are still to be revealed. You know, the feeling of surprise and excitement.

And that's why leaks are bad kids.
Though it's pretty impossible to avoid leaks if you're following a new Smash game and you go to any sort of forums to talk about it, sadly.

 

[Frostwraith]

All other characters had videos ranging from 1:00 to 2:45. Palutena had a 3 minute trailer, probably due to Sakurai's bias the anime part.

 

[NoiseHERO]

Sho' hope it's someone non-gematsu related, I'm I'm totally cool with gematsu characters but. I wanna see if something more interesting/new comes up. <_<

edit: I wonder if 7 other people said that before me though.

 

[PlTe]

I think it'll be Shulk, he seems like a character to hype for.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

Maybe we'll get a newcomer like this each month until release. Release is only 2 months away after all.

 

[gamer8]

So sudden, didn't expect to get these news this morning. I honestly hope it's Chorus Kids just because I want to see exactly how they will look in the game. I think Chorus Kids, Chrom and Shulk will be the final newcomers along with the returning veterans (Minus Lucas, Snake, PT) so I'm expecting one of those.

Maybe they want to sustain the EVO hype for a day longer? I dunno...

 

[Stalkos]

Guys....

The video is already streaming, and of course is on a waiting screen.

But really, the video is ALREADY STREAMING, this seems something big!!

Though I would like to see how Chorus Kids work, I'm expecting Shulk.

I'd like to point you to the top comments here as a potential explanation

Ha, just went to see what time it would be for me, but it says it right there!

It must someone really interesting, why else would they be revealed in a 3 minute trailer without being part of a Direct?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Dudeeeee....

I am Hawlucha in my avatar right now.

I am so excited.

I noted that he also said they're reaching the bottom of their newcomer videos they've prepared. Hmm.

But oh my god yessss. Feel like Hawlucha with me my fellow Smash Brethren. Newcomer MONDAY!

That's exactly why I expect Shulk.

 

[Gravitational23]

If ridley is announce i will die with happiness.

 

[Mega Hawlucha]

The only four likely newcomers at this point in my mind are the Gematsu Trio and potentially Ridley.

But I'm highly expecting Shulk. Chorus Men and Chrom will be hidden characters me thinks.

 

[DJ3DS]

What do I want? K. Rool.

What do I expect? Shulk, Chrom, or Chorus Kids.
