Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Droodle]

I think FP #5 will be shown off, even if the description may suggest otherwise. Technically speaking FP #5 has been formally announced, but we don't know who it is yet.

 

[Just a random scrub]

Yeah that is not good

W-What?

I.... how the hell is he gonna spend 45 minutes on just Terry? I know he's milked details before, but.... damn. Is he gonna be doing the Ice Bucket Challenge or something?

 

[Hadokeyblade]

So what time is this all going down?

Bu-But Droodle they said no unannounced characters. If Nintendo or Sakurai states it that's that...

30 seconds before the Livestream starts, the website updates with a torrent of new fighters.

Hey, they'd be announced beforehand.

 

[Luigi The President]

45 Minutes is the longest a smash Presentation ever was (yes, longer than any Smash Direct.)

Everyone is here was 25 Minutes with:
>What is smash
>Everyone is here trailer
>Change for most fighters
>Stages
>Assists
>Items
>Ridley

Final Ultimate Direct was 40 Minutes:
>Incineroar and Ken Trailer
>Overview of Ken
>Overview of Incineroar
>Detailled explanation of Spirit mode that even a instruction booklet wouldn't have that many details
>Piranah Plant announced and Overview
>Fighter Pass Announced
>Lifelight vocal trailer/World of Light

I refuse to believe we're just getting a simple Terry Overview when Hero's one was 21 Minutes for:
>Presentation of Each Heroes
>Voice actors
>21 Spells explanation
>Stage tour knowing that it's a traveling stage
>Exhibition match
>Mii Costume

Banjo was 25 with even more:
>Banjo's presentation
>Stage
>Music
>Home run contest
>Mii Costumes
>Terry teaser
>Talk and thanks about future DLC


How long can you expand on 45 for Terry?

Glad to see you're up to your usual analyzing Nekoo!!

 

[Garteam]

I figured it out. The stream is 45 minutes because the last 30 minutes is just Sakurai reading the live chat out loud.

He needs the time to read out donations.

 

[Wunderwaft]

The direct has been going on for 30 minutes, Sakurai is enjoying himself playing the game and explaining everything terry is bringing with him.
At this pace we don't know if we'll even get a character reveal, didn't the description of the video say something like that?
Time passes, there's less than 5 minutes left, hope is almost lost, the last 10 minutes were about Mii costumes which some of them we already knew about and online improvements, squad strike and smashdown but we don't care about that at this point.
The presentation is pretty much over, but before that Sakurai adresses us, saying:
"I know you all are excited to know the next character who will be joining the fight, but right now we aren't ready to show them to you, please give us a bit more time".
The man dismisses the direct, it was fun but we were expecting a bit more, he's waving his hand saying goodbye and thanking us for tuning in.
Just when the screen is about to go black, we hear a man shouting "Objection!" and the rest is history...

The second point in the description of the video does talk about possible interruptions during the broadcast.

Hmm....

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Jesus Christ I need to settle down...>_<

 

[Jomosensual]

So what time is this all going down?

about 36 hours from now

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

Its 10 minutes of Terry and the rest is him talking about how he went to the offices of SNK and played them in Smash

 

[Luigi The President]

Perhaps the 45 minutes is a safety net?

As in, they're accounting for technical issues by saying 45 minutes. Maybe it'll only be 20-25.

 

[KatKit]

Watch the presentation is like 5 minutes long, and the rest of it is Sakurai attempting to beat an SNK boss.

"Thank you Waluigi4smas-"

He could pull a November 1st and go super indepth over **** that doesn't need explaining. Plus perhaps he could give a retrospective during it.

Look, nothing is impossible and I'm getting some weird flashbacks from November 1st

 

[Icedragonadam]

I have a feeling there's going to be another Grinch Leak slaughterfest again on Wednesday.

 

[Sysreq]

Maybe since there's that fight stick next to him, he's gonna go into some kind of history lesson? Whether it be about SNK and Terry or even about how Fatal Fury/KoF influenced Smash.

 

[Fenriraga]

The Neo Geo controller is definitely telling of something. But EVEN THEN, I can't see this taking up 45 minutes.

 

[Nekoo]

It's saying 45min broadcasting with Sakurai playing the game.
For Hero, they didn't lie when saying the length of the video

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

Maybe since there's that fight stick next to him, he's gonna go into some kind of history lesson? Whether it be about SNK and Terry or even about how Fatal Fury/KoF influenced Smash.

Oh damn or it could be about how they implemented fight sticks into smash and the button lay out
I could see Sakurai stretching that out

 

[Luigi The President]

It's saying 45min broadcasting with Sakurai playing the game.
For Hero, they didn't lie when saying the length of the video

Hm.

Well just what the **** is going on here fellas

 

[Fenriraga]

It's saying 45min broadcasting with Sakurai playing the game.
For Hero, they didn't lie when saying the length of the video

But Hero wasn't a Livestream, he was pre-recorded.

 

[Deleted member]

Good catch. Maybe he literally will stream the first Fatal Fury lol.

I would gladly donate money if my train wreck of a scenario were to actually happen.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

TF2 Demoman voice: Aye, what did I miss?

[Rie Sonomura]

he said Home Run was basically the last single player mode. What if there's new online modes as per datamines?

Also, I'm AT LEAST expecting World of Light to get Very Hard Mode added

 

[AntagonisticGalaxyCetacea]

But Hero wasn't a Livestream, he was pre-recorded.

But how's that going to work for viewers outside of Japan? Seems a bit counterproductive to do a livestream instead

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

Good catch. Maybe he literally will stream the first Fatal Fury lol.

This picture of Sakurai playing with the neo geo next to him that they're using for the promotional material for this direct makes me doubt its a live-stream. Wouldn't that be a moment from the direct?

 

[Garteam]

Maybe since there's that fight stick next to him, he's gonna go into some kind of history lesson? Whether it be about SNK and Terry or even about how Fatal Fury/KoF influenced Smash.

"Because people were calling him Hat Ken, I will now be administering an exam on SNK and the history of Fighting Games. You cannot purchase Terry without proof you have passed."

 

[GoodGrief741]

I honestly think the "no information about unannounced fighters" is probably just a generic copy and paste statement. No way there's 45 minutes dedicated to Terry, a stage, and Mii Costumes. We already know there's no way it's a livestream for logistical reasons.

The second point in the description of the video does talk about possible interruptions during the broadcast.

Hmm....

Sakurai is murdered during the broadcast and the Smash cast has a trial to solve it.

 

[JustMyself13]

But Hero wasn't a Livestream, he was pre-recorded.

...you guys realize that the fact Sakurai is shown with the fightstick means the footage already exists, right?

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

he said Home Run was basically the last single player mode. What if there's new online modes as per datamines?

Also, I'm AT LEAST expecting World of Light to get Very Hard Mode added

Maybe they did some reworks to the online to this game or maybe introduce squad strike to online.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

All I know is that I'm not watching the stream because it starts at midnight my time lmao

 

[AceAttorney9000]

Where I am the stream starts at... 5:00 AM.

Luckily, my sleep patterns are horrible, so I'll likely be awake for it.

 

[Hexodus]

Anyone else feel like adding that into the description is weird? Not that they could be lying but,

Hmmm... agreed. It feels like things are being worded in a particular way. And even if we can trust it at its word... something other than a fighter could be revealed, for all we know. No clue what that could be, but.

 

[Fenriraga]

All I know is that I'm not watching the stream because it starts at midnight my time lmao

But Cyber

Don't you want to see Kyo cheering Terry on in the background? : )

 

[M@R!3]

Sakurai is murdered during the broadcast and the Smash cast has a trial to solve it.

I guess this is when Phoenix Wright shows up.

 

[PLATINUM7]

All I know is that I'm not watching the stream because it starts at midnight my time lmao

I prefer midnight to the 3 am E3 presentations.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

It was a bad idea to say up and wait for announcements. We got one sure but now I'm not gonna be able to tell whether it was a dream or not.
