who uses their chance to ask Sakurai a question to inquire what his fetish is
There's a good amount of weird questions in that article. The Person even asks if his Sakurai's Father ever hit Sakurai (Question 90).

If y'all are taking speculation to a point where you're trying to take developer personal kinks into account of character choices, I implore you within the deepest of my hearts to click the big red X on your browser. Get up. Take a shower. Catch up with loved ones. Go outside. And when you do, I want you to look up at the sky. There is an endless void of nothingness out there beyond us. And you should just talk to that nothing instead. Cause nothing wants to hear that ****.

Questions are from random fans. I don't think it's supposed to be a serious thing in the first place.

So to get discussion back on track.


Zippo, one of the fellas all in on the Direct is thinking it'll be short, like. Maybe not 'mini', but still short.

1. Source?

2. Would make sense, they can't waste time talking about already announced games when.... they're all out.

Clearly this means it'll only be 44 minutes, instead of the usual 45.

Truth be told a Mini Direct makes sense. I've seen people theorizing the Direct will just be shadowdropped on the 20th, and the last Mini Direct was also shadowdropped.

The ARMS character was announced in a Mini. Granted that's when we got three months of the Guess Who? game, but it was still a Smash announcement.

I swear, if this is yet another Guess Who, Imma check out til September rofl.

March - June was a slog when it came to the debate because, while fun at first, it just came down to the same 2-3 characters in the end.

The only I see another guessing game being necessary is if the next character is another complex one like Min Min (I believe they said the ARMS guessing game was because Min Min needed work on balancing), possibly also from a fighting game with a smaller pool of characters.

There's no doubt they'd pull this **** for Pokemon.

If they Do the Guessing Game again, Could we say that may be the General Standard of this Pass, Especially if it's a franchise like Mario, Xenoblade, Sonic?

If Development per characters is really taking longer than FP1, and it's spread out further throughout this year and the next, I guess this is their way of Making people know of what type of characters they are getting, without Spoiling the actual character far from release.

I just imagined a hypothetical Mario franchise war against Waluigi and Geno fans. Like seriously, how many franchises can you do this with?

These guessing games would be more fun if it was a Fighter from "3rd party company". The sea of choices would be a lot more massive compared to a single series like with ARMS's 15 fighters.

"The next Smash Ultimate DLC character will be... a character from Pong!"

Who will it be? The left paddle? The right paddle? The ball? The debates are gonna be so intense...

Technically speaking?

Any franchise with more than 1 game in it, probably, especially one where the role of protagonist changes between games, or a series with secondary characters not already in Smash.


Street Fighter
Sonic
Mario
Pokemon

Those four right off the top of my head for the latter category.

SEGA fans go awry in rage over which of their characters make it in. Yakuza this, Sakura Wars that. Phantasy Star this, "SMT V when?" joke there.

And then it just ends up being Tails. :secretkpop:

By hint, I could also see it being something like a "We'll be having a presentation soon on X day or in X month! Look forward to it!" and that's it.

I think that's what they did at EVO last year, so I could see it happening again.

Pokemon sounds like the only one of those four that has a legitimate shot in being in this pass, IMO.

Though, Sonic getting a new character would just revamp the Shadow supporters like the Spring Man massacre never happened. :239:

Even if it's just "Fighter from Tales "and it may not be Lloyd, I woud still be happy that my favorite RPG series got a playable fighter. And I do like Luke, Yuri, Stahn, Cless, Velvet etc.... except Emil.

You make it sound like it's a Bad thing. Shadow Side Coming back would be legendary!
