Livestream and then maybe a character release right after.

If that happens, I want y'all to know that I called this back in October.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Hold up we'd get DMC stuff on the 16th...


THIS PARTY'S GETTING CRAZYYYYYY

 

[Gentlepanda]

doesn't a sakurai presentation mean a shadow drop

 

[Ura]

Sakurai: "I'm going to draw a name from this box and whoever I pick is Fighter 5".

Smash Speculation BTFO

 

[LipeCau]

Including how to use the fighter? That could mean they are releasing the fighter on the same day!

 

[PSIGuy]

an early-by-a-day birthday present for me

Also it’ll be funny if we get Smash in January but no direct for a month still

 

[JustCallMeJon]

Sakurai continues to respond. Translation.

I'll be revealing a new DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in my next showcase. This time the fighter hasn't been announced in advance, so make sure to tune in!

Can any oracles out there guess who it will be in one go?https://t.co/YidPtEH2bh

Just the presentation, no general Direct... so I guess that means the DMC news are not Switch related.

Well, either that or Dante's in and we all got BTFO'd, but my guess is the former.

 

[EricTheGamerman]

This is probably the funniest way Sakurai could have handled things. No big Nintendo Direct, just, hey tune in Thursday morning for a new fighter lol.

 

[Ura]

Also, I can't wait to be playing as ??? 2 days from now.

Been waiting so long to play as him since he first debuted in Gold & Silver.

He's right. **** going on Smashboards. Catch me on the 16th where I'll be surprised.

Sakursi honey, what are you doing?

Can't wait for people to try to link his pose to a character here.

 

[waddledeeonredyoshi]

We are never getting that regular Direct lol

 

[I.D.]

Sakurai looking strangely malicious there

 

[Nemuresu]

I'm betting right now, if this final character is a first-party, I'm wearing the Eiscue of shame for a whole month:

Sakursi honey, what are you doing?

>Background is brown

Rise up Layton bros, our time has finally come!

Sakurai honey, what are you doing?

He's dabbing

 

[Zem-raj]

We're coming to the end game for Fighter 5 now.

Imagine if we got the character shadow dropped after this presentation...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Sakurai looking strangely malicious there

he looks malicious all the time. Like. he is plotting, scheming

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

My pessimism is telling me it will be no one I want ot like so I shouldnt be excited

 

[Deleted member]

it's probably at a decent time in jp but 9 am est is kinda stinky for me esp if it's like 35 minutes
might **** off the internet that morning till i get a chance to watch it myself

im up at 8 because of my damn rabbit so I have no choice but be awake at 9 am

 

[EricTheGamerman]

It's also just one character... which means people are going to immediately freak out over no additional news lol.

Clearly by saying "Oracles," we're getting Futaba. Color theory confirmed. Spirit promotions confirmed.

Obviously.

 

[Wunderwaft]

Looks like Bayonetta vs Dante might finally happen after all.

 

[MrJudd]

I'm going to die of laughter if next week comes around and we have a Animal Crossing Direct.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

So, 1 character, 35 minutes and a little less than 48 hours until we know. This **** gonna be gooooood

 

[Deleted member]

It's also just one character... which means people are going to immediately freak out over no additional news lol.

No it's just one character, which means people are going to immediately speculate he'll reveal two characters.

 

[Hinata]

Real gamers get up when Sakurai tells them to and LIKE IT.

 

[DMTN]

Oracle? The new fighter will be running on Java 8.

 

[-crump-]

Nintendo is just going out of their way now to give us everything other than a Direct, lol.

Not complaining, I love Sakurai’s presentations, and it’s perfectly timed for me

 

[I.D.]

Time to overanalyze the implications of not announcing the character at some event beforehand.
