The first reply I see is of the Min Min T pose glitch.

Snitches get stitches.

 

[Sc_Ev0lution]

It probably won't come because they're doing full remake of those Games.

And unfortunately, they're never to see the light of day outside of Japan.

 

[chocolatejr9]

nah
SEGA released 2 titles to switch online

SMT1 and Gun-Dec.
Gun-Dec was a Sammy game but SEGA owns all Sammy titles since they merged in the 2000s.

Quick question: what else has the Sammy side of the company made? People only ever talk about the Sega side, so I'm kinda curious.

Dolphin Blue and Rumble Fish
Unironically you'd think these were already SEGA games just by the way they look

 

[Icedragonadam]

I've looked at the previous weeks where a DLC character was revealed. E3 2019 week had the Link's Awakening spirit event revealed on that day. Hero was also released on a Tuesday and the themed tourney was revealed on the same day. Banjo and Terry were released on a Wednesday with their tourney announced after that.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So... where's the spirit event?

 

[SnowClaws]

I still wouldn't mind Microsoft acquiring "Netherealm Studios" if for whatever weird reason AT&T/Warner Bros decided to still hold on to the "Mortal Kombat" IP.

Microsoft can have them handle the "Killer Instinct" franchise and while it would suck for MK losing it's dedicated developer, I was always a bigger fan of Killer Instinct as it's my favorite "Traditional" fighting game and only 2nd to Super Smash Bros in fighters overall.

"Mortal Kombat X Killer Instinct" would be really freaking cool though.

Oh please no, do not let NetherRealm Studios handle the "Killer Instinct" franchise. Why? The video below explain everything wrong about the MK character's animation in MK11, and the prior videos before talked about the animation in MKX and Injustice 2:

If a Mortal Kombat vs Killer Instinct is going to happen, then it needs to be done by the original KI crew from Xbox Game Studies.

 

[MooMew64]

The real Spirit Event were the friends we made along the way

I imagine they might just be running late.

...Or maybe they don't have one this week. It's possible.

Dolphin Blue and Rumble Fish

Huh. Although I guess I can see the problem with these two at least. Aside from neither being relevant at the moment, one of them has a mechanic that might be too hard to add to Smash (as cool as fighting with a dolphin would be), and the other is a fighting game that's not Tekken/Soulcalibur/Mortal Kombat/Guilty Gear. Still, it's nice to see something new for a change.

 

[SirBillyBob]

So... where's the spirit event?

They'll probably announce it on Wednesday. If not, then we might be seeing the first signs of post-launch support winding down.

This is who the glitch is REALLY about.

I'll take a deluxe version of Smash Ultimate if it means getting Smash Run with the current roster.
Also, this is the crappiest meme I made, I tried.

i miss you so damn much
just give it online and a few more areas to run around and it'd be a perfect follow up of Smash run

 

[GalacticPetey]

Could it be they're taking the week off from spirit events to have an Origami King themed one next week to coincide with its release.

Spoiler: Pokemon Anime Spoilers

Honestly did not expect Ash to catch a Farfetch'd but it works pic.twitter.com/13oW79zsRw

— ChikoCheez (@ChikoritaCheez) July 5, 2020

So it looks like Ash's first Gen 8 catch was a Galarian Farfetch'd

This obviously means chad duck is getting into Smash. Sirfetch'd gang wins

oh boy and all those Sobble fans are getting upset over Goh possibly catching it next episode.

Not sure how this site is handling all the **** going off in the community right now, and I don't like being the bearer of ugly news, but this guy has featured prominently within Smash talks for a while, so it's relevant this is known going forward.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

**** Sabi.

is this what the End of Evangelion looks like?

I wonder if Papa Genos will do a video on Sabi?

last time i spoke to him, he wasn't very up to date to the situation until i shared it with him. but he's pretty dissapointed over this as much as you guys do.
he might tho, probably not a dedicated video about it however.,

New spirit event is Octopath Traveller.

Funny this happens right in the middle of my writing on Square Enix characters.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Imagine Octopath and Mana having more spirits than Final Fantasy.

What a timeline.

"Mortal Kombat X Killer Instinct" would be really freaking cool though.

Isn't it likely that your preference for Killer Instinct over Mortal Kombat is due to design decisions made by their respective studios? Why would you want your preferred series developed by the studio responsible for the other?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

That reminds me. I really enjoyed the demo for Octopath Traveler. I should play the full game sometime.

Okay, I love this. Shame that the characters all don't get to be their own Spirit, but that's the constraints of these events for you. I wonder what they're gonna use for music?

 

[Gentlepanda]

sakurai just casually chatting with the bravely devs to get octopath spirits i see

 

[Nekoo]

*Insert Pikachu Face meme and sentence about Square-Enix being stingy*

*Insert Pikachu Face meme and sentence about Square-Enix being stingy*

look nekoo square enix is keeping geno locked up in the basement hes been there for 20 years

20 years

we have to free him of this injustice and all i need from you is your credit card number, the expiration date, and the three digits on the back of the card

but hurry because soon theyre going to feed him into a woodchipper for kindling we have to pay square enix now to save him

lets go geno

 

[Gentlepanda]

octopath will be the next spirit battles changed at a later date because 3-4 pieces of suitable music will be included alongside challenger pack 9 The Bravely Rep

you'll see

 

[ligersandtigons]

the spirit event really makes me want the Black Knight as playable lol

 

[Arcanir]

So, Black Knight confirmed for playable upgrade?

 

[TwiceEXE]

I always enjoy when we have a killshot spirit event. You just never know who will get popped next.

 

[Guynamednelson]

So, Black Knight confirmed for playable upgrade?

"More FE?"
"It should've been Lyn!"
"No! Not all that hard work on like two moves!"
"Of course Sakurai would promote more FE before Waluigi!"

I don't wanna experience it.

 

[Staarih]

So another major Switch title got a spirit event (albeit two years after its release).

Now where’s that Luigi’s Mansion 3 spirit event??

Is there any major Luigi's Manson character that aint already a spirit though?

Still worth it.

 

[Staarih]

Gooigi.

But yeah, I guess not and that’s probably one of the reasons it doesn’t necessarily warrant its own spirit event.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

How DARE you disrespect my boi GOOIGI.

I'm telling you all he's already been confirmed playable.

 

[zumaddy]

Shame the Octopath spirits aren't coming with music, it's one of my favourite soundtracks. Glad to see it get in at all, though!

 

[rychu_supadude]

Is there some kind of hard-coded spirit limit that they're trying to prevent from running out? It's a bit odd that these events have never added more than 5 at a time, to the point of combining characters.

I think its more of a developer limit thing. Only so many things can be worked on at a time.

Pony plz, the Geno thread will think we're bullying them again.


....is what I'd say, but reading the Geno thread after going in with an open mind.... it's like walking into a flat-Earth truther hub.

It makes it easier for players to get them all.

Convenience. Easier to hunt for 4 spirits rather than 8 spirits.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Keep those spirit events coming Square! Gimmie that Bravely Default, that Chrono Trigger.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I never played Octopath, why is it making people talk about one of the best ATs in the game
