Speaking of which - did that video that was uploaded recently turn out to be the Sakurai presentation on Terry, or is that still unknown?

If we do get a Tekken rep for fighter 5 I want Jin Kazama instead of Heihachi. Jin would have the Devil gene to play around with and he is the main protagonist of the series starting from 3 which is the most popular and iconic game of the series. Plus Jin is more of Ryu's rival than Heihachi so it'd make sense on that end.

...The joke kinda flew over your head.
But that aside, I can certainly understand the stance, but I certainly don't agree with it. Smash, despite now having M-rated characters, is still a very lighthearted game. Fights are more like competitions than anything else and everything is really a big videogame dream match that shouldn't be taken too seriously.
You lose way more in trying to maintain an "innocent" image by not having your characters immortalized in the biggest video game crossover of all time, really.
Could also be another version of Terry's trailer - I remember some translated versions uploading a day or two after the Direct dropped.

And how much time was there between that upload being noticed and the presentation again?

Frankly, at this point the Mii Hat leak is pretty much a situation where I would argue its just too ****ing shaky to take seriously. From the blatant bait elements taken from previous leaks, alongside being targeted specifically around two popular speculated characters in 4chan, modders demonstrating its not impossible to mod mii hats, being costumes that if being tested are probably done by a small team that could be easily found and Nintendo not reacting to the leak at all, its a situation that for me it makes it fake until proven true.
Know that the characters involved are popular, but I doubt that the leak being fake would affect their chances if they are chosen to be fighters.

I think a week or two weeks max?
That would be extremely unprecedented. No trailer has been uploaded that late after its initial airing. Based on what SocialBlade lists, the channel already uploaded all the language variants of the updated Terry trailer on November 6th.

I may dream of 2B, Phoenix Wright, Layton, or Travis Touchdown, but my gut is saying two things, and last time I trusted my gut I got Joker and Terry.
Bandai-Namco could be getting their fighter and that could be any number of fantastic choices, but there's been a little voice in my head saying that Ezio is a major sleeper pick. If not Ezio, an assassin that could be a few characters in one like Hero. It'd be a pretty major "get" with a ton of cool stage and music and moveset potential.

Hey this is somewhat misinformation. It's been said elsewhere, but not here, but Hosoyamada is perfectly fine with this (he was the one who wanted it in the first place; ergo, he would be happy to allow Sakurai the use of Puyo content in Smash). He also isn't the creator of Puyo Puyo, like, at all. He's just the director of the games.
And, not only is it old, the people at SEGA who rejected this may not even still be there, or may have changed their minds. There's also the fact that Smash is not only a big money resource, but also, it's a lot less of a violent brutal sport as much as a whimsical slapfight. We also have no idea how long ago that cancellation was; could be anywhere between that year and back in 2016, or 15, or even 14. Hell, this could've been back in 2006, that's how long Hosoyamada has been in charge. (If Ayumi knows how long ago it was, I'd be more confident in this, or it may actually remain valid.)
Lastly, in Puyo Puyo Chronicle, the final boss of that game directly attacks the character Ally physically in the cutscene after they are defeated. While it isn't animated violence due to the nature of those cutscenes, it's much more violent than anything in the series before then (even in the Compile era). So they let that pass despite there being a supposed "ban on violence" in Puyo, which is kinda strange.
So thanks for the apology

, but I doubt it's necessary. I'm pretty sure Arle is still in the game.But anybody who says that she's not FP5 is probably right anyway, I always expected her to be post-pass once that hit. She would make sense (breaking a fan rule, being a disappointment relative to the earlier characters for most people) but honestly I just don't see it.

Guess VGA is looking more likely somehow. For the record, Terry's trailer was already uploaded five days ago so this is brand stinking new.

Ah shoot, here we go again.
I found PushDustin's tweet where he reported that. It was October 27th. So about ten days before we did get the Terry presentation.
According to @Omega_J12, the Smash Bros. channel has been updated on YouTube. This could mean a new video has been uploaded, even if it's not public yet.

What are your thoughts on this?

If this holds true again, it'd mean that we're getting a reveal next week, or the week thereafter at earliest.

So just before Thanksgiving (USA; November 22) at the latest...
Honestly, I think a November direct is more likely. Reveal FP5 in the direct, save the 1st post-FP character for TGA.

This is going to be quite interesting. We better prepare in case some random leak shows up.

I'm just staying here to keep in touch with all the crazy updates. I have to be on guard for another leak.

A November general direct would be unprecedented. We already got three general directs for the year, which has been Nintendo's model since 2016. So unless it's a Pokemon direct that reveals the next fighter as a starter (somewhat possible) or a Smash direct (doubt), I think it's VGA time.

I personally love the juxtaposition of cute and mature characters together in smash, but some people and more importantly some companies might not. Anyway here's a relevant comic about harming cute characters in Smash bros.

Does Youtube really have the ability to make that pop up a literal month in advance?

In that case, don't set your hopes too high on a major character getting revealed (Master Chief, Doom Slayer). It's just a Direct; the Game Awards are more major imo.

From what it sounds like, YouTube makes those popups when a video is uploaded. It's not about whether it's private or not.

I'd argue the fact that a major character possibly being used to sell a second pass is a better reason to not expect a major character
NICE.

I'm leaning more on a surprise reveal, nonetheless.

God knows who they chose for FP 5 though. Let's remember Cloud and FINAL FANTASY was revealed in a mid-November 2015 direct (back when they didn't use the 3-direct per year structure) instead of the VGA.

I've got it, but it doesn't necessarily mean anything is too soon. I remember this happening over a month before E3.

Nonetheless I'm hoping for KOS-MOS if there is a direct as it makes sense she won't be shown at TGA.

Absolutely fair enough. Though I will say, that as far as gaming goes, there's nothing that really beats E3 in terms of its magnitude, which means that earlier uploads might not be that odd.

For me, the logic here is that you release the more niche character at the lesser-scoped Direct and the more major inclusion at the bigger scoped Game Awards. Cloud was an exception to this tho.Nonetheless I'm hoping for KOS-MOS if there is a direct as it makes sense she won't be shown at TGA.
In that case...

Thank you for clearing things up. Honestly, regardless of violence issues, I'd feel Sega's desire to use Smash as a vehicle for Puyo Puyo promotion would override any desire to keep things "clean" within the series, if you ask me. It'd be nonsensical (and a bit heartbreaking) if they consider minimal violence a higher priority over using probably one of the easiest methods of getting series widely-known to their advantage. It makes even less sense when you look at some of the franchises Puyo has collaborated with through Puyo Puyo Quest; a collaboration with Neon Genesis Evangelion, a series widely known for its religious themes, gruesome imagery, and a notorious finale (End of Evangelion has one scene that I'd get infracted for talking about here, and literally has all but two of the cast essentially die in a cataclysmic event) is totally fine, but a collaboration with an unrealistic slapstick fighting game would be too far? I don't buy it.Hey this is somewhat misinformation. It's been said elsewhere, but not here, but Hosoyamada is perfectly fine with this (he was the one who wanted it in the first place; ergo, he would be happy to allow Sakurai the use of Puyo content in Smash).
