That’s 3 whole weeks between the release of Mario 35 and Crown Tundra. I’m sure we’ll see CP7 in that time.

Now watch as Nintendo decides to use those three weeks on other, unannounced projects.

 

[RetroBro]

Here's a take, that's probably awful.

There's the fact that Sakurai flat out said it was

Sakurai says there are "no plans" for more DLC after the second Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass

No more DLC characters will be added after these last six.

dotesports.com

And sure, he could change his mind, but we won't know until, at the very earliest, late next year.

Yeah... he said that. He also said there would be no DLC for Smash 4 as well :/

Or just nothing at all. Aside from Crowned Tundra of course.

I don't think my post aged well at all.

THE WAIT IS OVER!!!

Wow I'm super excited!

Finally this nightmare can end

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

Halleluja!

LET's GOO

 

[Dr. Jojo Phantasma]

You joke, but I think that's 1000x more likely than "Tune in on Friday as Sakurai Presents "???"!".

Well, joke is on us, but I am glad to be wrong. Yaay, 7-11 ad theory lives!

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

7/11 ad, you magnificent ******* you've done it again!

I wonder if this will be Nintendo getting two big weeks out this, the reveal trailer tomorrow and then the actual presentation tomorrow.

 

[Deleted member]

Ok the part about a brief message from Sakurai makes me think he’s gonna be talking about a potential delay because of COVID

 

[Calamitas]

Cue the "It has been 3000 years" memes.

Somewhat odd though that this is just three minutes long. I guess this is just a reveal trailer? I wonder what the Sakurai message after it will be.
. . .Probably a delay or something like that.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

If I'm wrong, well...Eggs are tasty...

And indeed they are. Little hot to be on my face right now, but I can fix that no problem!

 

[Rie Sonomura]

So it’s not a full Sakurai Presents with the stage and mechanics and stuff

we going Robin/Lucina circa 2014 bois

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Perfect timing too, I love 7 AM Pacific (Because it translates to 16:00 Central European Time).

7/11 ad, you've magnificent *******, you've done it again!

Now to celebrate with a slurpee.

 

[SneakyLink]

I wonder... if all we're getting is a trailer, will the screenshots for the character be on the website or will we have to wait?

 

[SNEKeater]

Finally.
But it doesn't seem it's gonna be a Sakurai Presents. They're gonna announce the character with a CGI or stylized trailer, just like the one for Min Min, and then just a message from Sakurai, which I guess will address, hopefully, when we can expect the character. But I have a feeling he's gonna explain that development has been a bit complicated, that's the feeling I'm getting reading this lol

 

[zeldasmash]

FINALLY!!! The wait to know who it is is finally over!

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

I'm no good with timezones. Is 7:00 PT basically just this time tomorrow?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Imma just give my final prediction

It's Rex

I'm no good with timezones. Is 7:00 PT basically just this time tomorrow?

Yes

I'm no good with timezones. Is 7:00 PT basically just this time tomorrow?

Yes, that's correct.

 

[Hokori]

Now the announcement date speculation can finally end.

Until CP7 is revealed and speculation for CP8 begins.

With this news, today shall be a good day

 

[CapitaineCrash]

I'm no good with timezones. Is 7:00 PT basically just this time tomorrow?

It's exactly in 24 hours, so the same time as the announcement.

 

[zumaddy]

HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

A decent time for me as well, I can watch it live. Super exciting!

 

[Will]

Thank god Gwen jinxed it.

 

[Mamboo07]

I'm watching this at midnight.

 

[SKX31]

I'm no good with timezones. Is 7:00 PT basically just this time tomorrow?

Yup, it is. It's in (a little less than) 24 hours.

Finally.
But it doesn't seem it's gonna be a Sakurai Presents. They're gonna announce the character with a CGI or stylized trailer, just like the one for Min Min, and then just a message from Sakurai, which I guess will address, hopefully, when we can expect the character. But I have a feeling he's gonna explain that development has been a bit complicated, that's the feeling I'm getting reading this lol

Yeah, that's the clearest sign that development has been complicated, and I'm not surprised at all. I strongly believe that small delays here and there have acumulated over the months, and that has been one of the reasons why it's been complicated.

 

[Staarih]

I'm no good with timezones. Is 7:00 PT basically just this time tomorrow?

Yes.

Also yeah, it looks like we'll just get a trailer and the brief message from Sakurai will likely detail a potential further showcase/release/possible delay in schedule.
As long as we get to know who is coming next, all is good.

Maybe my prediction was for the release all along. lol

If it's just the trailer it will probably be like Terry, which means no screenshots.

Profound sadness!

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

This does make me wonder that given we're likely getting the trailer tomorrow and an actual showcase at some point, that if its a potentially prominent enough character that their popularity/fame is considered a greater appeal for people to watch the Sakurai Presents video than the mystery appeal like Byleth and Min Min's reveals had.

Or is it a case of there actually being a delay, but even Nintendo realized they couldn't drag out the reveal of the character even if the release is still some time away.

I really hope it's someone I want... but considering my wants are mostly anime boyos and characters no one would even think about... yeah I'm just gonna chill and see what happens

While I'm at it what are ya'll betting on?

 

[Will]

If it's just the trailer it will probably be like Terry, which means no screenshots.

Profound sadness!

Hopefully it's not the same type of Terry trailer with no in-depth gameplay either lmao

 

[KillerCage]

[looks at poll at top]

So how many of you still think we are going to get information on CP7 in September?

THE WAIT IS OVER!!!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

WELL! THAT ANSWERED MY QUESTION!

 

[Deleted member]

WTF we're getting news about CP7, I thought CP7 was a myth?

 

[Ridrool64]

This is NOT a Sakurai Presents, it is just a reveal. The Presents will come at a later date, either day of or shortly before release.

The combination of 3 minutes and the fact that it isn't called one already tells me this. This means that we're a ways away from a release.

This might also be like Joker/Terry's initial reveals, which did not show them in gameplay, and their proper gameplay reveal may come with the Sakurai Presents. Hype responsibly for even the contents of the reveal, let alone the identity of the next challenger pack.

Don't come in here expecting Goku with an in depth look on his gameplay only to have your expectations shattered by Garbodor, for two random examples I'm sure nobody here is actually banking on. (Though I may have given people ideas with that last one.)
