If we the pattern of "Nindies presentations are usually followed by a general Directs three/four weeks after they're aired" then I think the earliest we can expect a Direct is the second week of January. I just don't see Nintendo doing anything during the holidays, so i think they'll wait after the 6th , and I know Japan probably doesn't care about that, , I just keeping my expectation in check (though maybe i should place my bet on February at that point).

probably a january mini-direct like last year for already-revealed games with a possible release date or release period

like idk, "zelda 2 this fall" or something

honestly at this point i totally wouldn't mind it if someone datamined the next character. just get it over with already.
after :ulthero: they learned their mistake and as far as i've seen no one's found any useful information from datamining

and even then he was drastically changed, the dude was gonna be ness sized when we first found it IIRC

Good morning everyone.

Didn't wake up to some news. Expected, yet tiresome nonetheless.

Remember when Smash was announcedand everyone had this "uwu it's okay Sakurai plz take your time" mentality

I wonder what happened
Smash was announced with every single character ever in the series confirmed to return, a newcomer from one of Nintendo's biggest new IP, one of the most popular requests ever, and the announcement of Echo Fighters. Pretty sure that's enough info to last for a while. I love Terry, but a lesson of SNK history and a playthrough of classic mode doesn't exactly whet the appetite as much.

I'm inclined to believe that FP5 is going to be surprised dropped after January's Nintendo Direct and in turn the newcomer video after the direct if the amiibo theory is still true. Which I believe will be the 1st or 2nd week of January. Major Patches come out every 2 months on average.

What confuses me is why people are so impatient for FP5.

Y'all could just...I dunno, play Smash while you wait? I mean, the game's just sittin' there, you'd think people who are this into figuring out who the next character is would equally be just as into actually playing Smash.

Regrettably, a lot of speculators do not enjoy Smash as much as Smash speculation itself. (See: Brawl before it released vs. Brawl after it released)
