Social NintenZone Social 2.0: Remember That Time Candle Jack Visited Swa

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

10 am or so in Japan.

It's suppose to hit Japan at 2:30 p.m. right?

Pretty much.

3 hours and 15 mins until 2:30 in Japan.

I think the obvious answer is: data for Smash 5. I'd say the data could be used for plenty of other aspects as well, such as amiibos, Mario Maker costumes, sequels to titles that have been in limbo, etc.

I pointed out a few days back, we have some evidence that only two characters are remaining, and my gut tells me one of them is Wolf. I hope I'm wrong as much as the next person, but keep in mind Sakurai said they can't keep the DLC team around too much longer, and we'll probably see the last of the DLC sooner than anticipated. I guess the best thing to do is expect at the very least two more characters, and wait and see if we all get surprised with more than expected.

I....what.

I get what you're saying but they specified that the ballot is specifically for DLC characters for this version. I recall an argument blowing up on here like a month or so ago because there were people who kept insisting the ballot didn't really matter and they were using it to gather data.
I wouldn't blame them for using the data towards Smash 5 (if that is even ever a thing) ((although technically it would be Smash 6 because Sakurai confirmed 3DS and Wii U are Sm4sh and Sma5h respectively)) but I don't think they actually knew how many characters they were definitely having as DLC which is why Sakurai specified as "Several More Characters" and apologized that they would not be able to add everyone's requests from the ballot. Honestly to me that's him saying "several characters from the ballot" and he wouldn't be wrong either because we know a lot of people voted for Wolf in the ballot.

(also I'd really like to know what this evidence is that we only have two characters left)

3 hours and 15 mins until 2:30 in Japan.

And not one single peep from Nintendo.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Anyone else feels like this is wolf's last chance?Like if he's not DLC now i dont think he's coming especially if all the DLC after this is Ballot DLC

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Still don't understand why people think Wolf can't return for some magical reason.

I thought Wolf was dead since E3 lol
Sakurai's description of how Lucas and Roy were Brawl and Melee vets respectively killed his chances in my eyes
His wording seems to imply veteran DLC is over

Not at all? He's the most requested returning vet and people have been voting on him like crazy in the ballot to secure his spot. Until we get confirmation of all the ballot characters and get a "this is the final DLC" and Wolf isn't in it, then that'll be the end of it.

yadda yadda Sakurai's wording during the June Direct yadda yadda "no vets for the ballot" fanon yadda yadda

But really his wording in the June direct is probably the "strongest" thing against him right now.

This is my answer to @zoroarkrules25
One of my favorite moments in video games is the fight against Dracula in Super Castlevania 4.

After you defeat the 3 abominations known as Slorga and Gaibon and the Count's personal bodyguard known as the Grim Reaper/Death, a passage opens with torches that light up as you pass them.

......The next screen shows you the iconic staircase, meaning you have come to the fight against the great lord of Darkness himself.

What makes the fight so amazing for me its the difficulty, (which is nowhere as frustrating as Castlevania 1/3 or ridiculuously easy as Symphony of the Night) i found it to be my favorite.

But the music just sets the tone for the fight so well. It feels so cold, dark and maybe a little depressing, as if it's telling you that it's your doom, and you can't do anything to avoid it. Whenever i think of Dracula, i think of this song. Sorry Dance of Illusions, but you're nothing compared to Dracula's theme in SC4 in my opinion, that song just fits him so well.

However, when you take out half of the count's health, the music changes to another song. It's the theme of Simon Belmont.
The song tells you one and only ONE thing, and it's that YOU are a Belmont, YOU are SIMON BELMONT, but most importantly, you are capable of defeating Dracula himself, and show him the might of legend.

After defeating, you see Dracua turning into bats, and as each one dies slowly, all that is left of the Count is one weak bat.

You escape from the castle, and as watch the Castle tear itself apart, you hear one of the best songs for an ending of a Video game:

It's all over. Dracula's reign of Terror is over for now. Go rest Simon Belmont, you have fought well. You will always be on of my favorite video game characters of all time.

i dont understand why people think wolf can return for some reason.Works both ways swampy

Before someone asks yes i'm a wolf supporter i support all vet.I just dont think vets are coming anymore.Plus my biased towards "Shoo-in" Characters

[Shadowwolflink]

I'm going to go vote for Buffy for Smash DLC.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to wreck Mario's face. Just watch.

That game is actually really fun.

Cuz thay wuldnt wayst a balit careicter on a vet.

Holy hell, that spelling is bad on purpose, right?

 

[OurBraveHero]

Not sure if joking with that or making fun of someone.... or actually completely intentional with that spelling.
A lot of people would be more bummed out if they got all new characters and the vets they wanted didn't get back in.
I know Ice Climbers is another extremely popular ballot entry because so many people want them back in and want Sakurai to figure out a way to do it. It's not even remotely a waste of a ballot entry, if you get to play as your main from a past game instead of someone you might hate that's brand new.

yadda yadda Sakurai's wording during the June Direct yadda yadda "no vets for the ballot" fanon yadda yadda

Um... nobody said anything about no vets for the ballot though, why would people just assume that? haha

I'm trying my best to figure out what that last word is, but I can't figure out the name lol. I feel like trying to predict Sakurai is hard, mainly because people misinterpret the guy a lot, so it leaves a lot of people decisive on what can happen. Makes what seems to be a complex guy to understand not so much when you actually think about it.

Pretty much same.

And it's "Everything" btw.

 

[NintenZ]

My DLC Predictions:
Wolf
Shovel Knight
Bandana Dee
Dixie Kong

 

[Chrono.]

Um... nobody said anything about no vets for the ballot though, why would people just assume that? haha

Same reason why people assumed Roy was a goner ("there's already a Marth clone!","Shulk has the hilt mechanic!", "The name Roy is being used!") and why Ryu was "impossible" ("no fighting game characters!" "Capcom already has a rep!").

Among other fan made up rules that get debunked and debunked.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

My DLC Predictions:
Wolf
Shovel Knight
Bandana Dee
Dixie Kong

Mine:
Anyone

Because Im not biased to only Professor Layton and don't really have a most wanted/Prediction list

[GamerGuy09]

To pass the time until the DLC, I've been listening to trippy as hell music. So far this is my favorite.

 

[Retroend]

hoping for an actual nintendo character to be announced instead if any....

I just now noticed that that image (Which I took, by the way, kudos to Sister for finding the guy with the Cuttlefish Hat in the plaza) has to do with King K. Rool
THIS ISN'T A PROPOGANA, I SWEAR

Well we do have one guy who fits the bill.

Spoiler: AND HIS NAME IS

Spoiler: Wait a hooey, that isn't right

There we go.

I would legitimately not mind if DLC was reserved for third parties.

Honestly, it gets a huge rights issue out of the way of holding up other Nintendo characters by negotating with companies.

If a company says no?

Move along. Next character you want to add.

DLC is honestly the best time to add third parties.

They'd also probably garner more attention and sell better.
