I DONT WANT TO ALARM YOU BUT CHECK THE DATE

December 10, 2020.

What is interesting about that?

 

[metalhydra273]

My bets are on Crash or Arle. Timing and other factors favor Arle, but Crash isn't bad on timing either, and TGA seems like an event Crash would be more likely to, well crash.

 

[PeridotGX]

Freddy Fazbear and Crash Bandicoot are the only characters I actively don't want. If crash gets in, it's down to one, very unlikely, character. I suppose that's not too bad.

What is wrong with Crash Bandicoot, if I may ask?

Why do you not want Crash that much?

Hit me up if any of the following people retweet that announcement:

• Shinji Hashimoto, Tetsuya Nomura, Gen Kobayashi, Takeharu Ishimoto (all involved with The World Ends With You)
• Hiroyuki Sawano (Xenoblade X’s composer)
• Caitlin Glass (Elma’s VO, doubt she will RT that tho)
• Hosoyamada (he retweeted what would be Byleth’s announcement, even though he’s the Puyo Puyo guy)
• Tetsuya Takahashi or Soraya Saga (the former retweeted what would be Robin & Lucina’s announcement cause Captain Falcon was in it and Takahashi worked on F-Zero X; the latter retweeted what would show Rex’s Mii costume)
• one of the aforementioned Crash team cuz why not I’m cool with him
• Hisashi Nogami, Yusuke Amano, Seita Inoue, or Toru Minegishi (worked on Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion)
• someone from Riot I guess. Bonus if the actual ****ing K/DA twitter retweets it l m a o

Not gonna lie after reading your post I have checked if Hideaki Itsuno has liked or retweeted the announcement.

Haven't noticed other developers reacting to the tweet yet.

What’s that? Geoff responses hinting at Crash?

What...what does this mean?

 

[PacificFun]

They probably just don't like him or find him boring which is understandable.

I just think he's kinda annoying and would have a boring moveset.

Doom (1993) came out today.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

He tweeted that in response to the Smash Tweet.

I doubt that “Woah” comment means anything.

Doomguy would be epic.

 

[Megadoomer]

How often has Nintendo tied Smash reveals to anniversaries? I think the only case is Little Mac, and I'm not sure if that's what happened or not. (it's been a while)

I realize that sometimes, this stuff works out (I was way off about assuming that, just because FP7 is being revealed a few days before Minecon, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's Steve), but this could easily be a coincidence.

 

[Droodle]

Attention all Smash bros gamers, Jonesy is in great danger, and he needs YOUR help to wipe out Galeem and Dharkon from the World of Light. To do this he needs a Smash ball and a couple of ELITE GAMER SKILLZ. To help him, all he needs is a Eshop gift card and the 16 character code on the back. But you gotta be quick so that Jonesy can secure the envelope, and score that epic TOP TIER placement.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Question: Do you think the trailer will be a cinematic teaser akin to Joker or Terry? Or will it be a traditional full trailer?

Haven't they all been cinemati-oh you mean will there be gameplay shown off.

That's an interesting question actually. It hasn't been all that long since Steve was announced, so they may not be ready to show in game yet. Otherwise, there probably will be gameplay.

Freddy Fazbear and Crash Bandicoot are the only characters I think will show up here.

This was how I expected the sentence to go for some reason...I don't know either.

I just think he's kinda annoying and would have a boring moveset.

You know, it's kind of hilarious how every time someone says this the character turns out to be super interesting mechanically.

This is probably more because pretty much everyone is made to have a strong mechanical theme nowadays, but it's still funny nonetheless.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

He was just responding about Nintendo announcing the reveal of a Smash Bros Ultimate character.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Hold on guys I think I’m onto something. What if Geoff just realized he used the wrong expression for the character he was hinting at, and that’s why he deleted his message (if he did)?

Woah
Woa
Wo
W
Wa
Wah

WAH!

My dream is real :o

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Oh good gravy, imagine if he was top tier. He'd probably be the most hated character in the game even if he was at the bottom of top tier.

I’m bookmarking this, this is art

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I think y’all are going a little too hard on Crash right now, and I’m somebody who wants him in.

That said, I do think there are a few things to consider about tonight’s pick. It’s before the Christmas holiday, which could serve as a last ditch effort to boost sales of the fighter pass. It’s an event that appeals to a much wider audience than simply Nintendo fans.

This could potentially point toward another “big” pick like Steve for the general gaming audience. However, it should also be noted that Byleth was planned for last year (speculated anyway), so this could be incorrect. Overall, I think considering the timing of this reveal and the fact that we’re only halfway through, it could be a heavy hitter.

Basically for THIS pick, I’m not sure that it’s a hardcore Smash fan pick. I think it’ll be somebody “bigger” so to speak.

Crash could be the one, but it’s hard to tell as usual!

Nah, leave him to his fate. No one cares for him.

 

[PeridotGX]

i said this last fighter, but I think this is the last chance for a Mario character. If we're getting one, it'll be during the anniversary, and I can't see us getting another character in Febuary.

A grand total of once for a true reveal. It did reveal a few Smash 4 veterans on significant dates but that doesn't count, especially now that we're in the realm of every character being a new one, outside of a curveball like Metal Mario or Melee Fox.

 

[RileyXY1]

I believe that CP9 will come in the spring, CP10 in the summer, and CP11 in the fall.

 

[PacificFun]

I'm gonna say it again: Lara Croft would be such a good reveal for this type of event.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Sounds about right.

Now that you mention it.

CP9: March
CP10: June
CP11: September-October

 

[RileyXY1]

I think that this character will be a 3rd party, and will be aimed at a more older audience as most of the people watching the reveal are adults.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

SUKI NAN DA

Literally the only thing I prefer in Japanese. Probably because not knowing the lyrics makes it better.

I'm gonna say it again: Lara Croft would be such a good reveal for this type of event.

She really would be though. Probably the biggest one you could get too as far as appealing to the audience as a whole is concerned.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

With an event like this I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a Sora, especially given the lack of a concrete disconfirmation.

Except there's still the issue of Disney.

[TheBeastHimself]

OH MY ****ING GOD I WOKE UP THERE'S A NEW CHARACTER BEING ANNOUNCED TONIGHT?!?! WHAAAAT!!!!

 

[Garteam]

Imran trolling with the fans. I wonder if he knows who's FP8. I guess he knows.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This seems way too unsubtle to be a hint. There was at least some inference required on the part of the audience to conclude that Crash would be the fighter from the homily of the Dorito Pope. Imran, on the other hand, is basically just going "ha ha if fornite johnson was the fighter wouldn't that be funny ahhh Nintendo do that haha".

Granted, I said the same thing about Zhuge's Min Min poll, so I could be wrong.
