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

[Deleted member]

You know, I didn't want to do this unless this was proven via new Smash trailer and all, buuut....

Sorry Swamp Sensei / @GoldenYuiitusin (can't remember who posted this before) but I'm using this.

But don't over hpye about this. But this hopefully means we could get more content in the near future pertaining the ballot.

That would be me.

 

[Chrono.]

I feel more confident about Wolf, for sure.

Spoiler

say hello to my good friend young link (;

 

[Swamp Sensei]

PushDustIn

THAT CAN ADD!

PUSH THEY CAN DO MATH!

 

[Z25]

Right now my predictions are Wolf, Shovel Knight, and K Rool.

These would be an amazing next 3 characters. So much money would be printed! This would be me if it happened:

Literally just saw on tumblr yesterday this:

Objectifying men in any way? A Okay.

 

[Bedoop]

The slots mean nothing, we finally have confirmation

Well, they CAN mean something.
For instance; they might be sitting there because they decided how much Ballot Fighters they were going to do (Not who they should be, just how much they were gonna work on) and added slots accordingly.
So 3 Ballot Fighters (Or pre-ballots, who knows) so far.
Will 1.1.2 hold new fruit?
FIND OUT ON THE NEXT TIME OF DRA-

 

[Z25]

So there's another stage that should have released this update? Interesting....

 

[Neo Zero]

So that more means that, imo, we can have 3 more characters (though honestly I don't think that's guranteed, it could be 2 or even 1). Given the timing of this patch, it would stand to reason the end game is planned out. Whether those 3 slots are all ballot chars or 2 were pre ballot and 1 added later can't really be said.

 

[A Distant Demon]

The real question is. . .
Does this mean only 3 characters are left or did they just say "**** it we will add 1 now and add the rest later"

God I can't even take myself seriously with this avi. . .

 

[Soul.]

wait 3 character slots how.
The Ballot closes in a day now right?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Aw ****

There was a problem fetching the tweet

EDIT: There's 6 stage slots, he corrected himself later

I **** MYSELF IN EXCITEMENT.

 

[Bedoop]

Going by Eastern Standard Time, yes. That is the case.

So there's another stage that should have released this update? Interesting....

Here's a theory
What if the one before Duck Hunt was them trying to get Pirate Ship onto 3DS?
Maybe they couldn't/didn't have the time, so they just ditched it and gave us Duck Hunt for now?

I don't know, while we can't be positive. i find it strange that conveniently we had two slots before the ballot was near it's ending, then a few days before it ends, we get an additional slot. To me, I have to say that this new slot is indeed ballot while the other two were pre ballot. Those two characters were meant to release this update but Iwata's passing caused them to hold them back till things were under better control. This would explain the lack of publicity for this update as well.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

Layton, Wolf, and Snake

[Icedragonadam]

The real mystery is that mysterious stage. Maybe it's a file for the Pirate Ship and it was planned to be in the 3DS version, but was scrapped for the 3DS because swimming is not on that version. so instead it got Duck Hunt. But still I still don't what that is.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Aw ****

Oh look, its the ballot character placeholder
Character predictions: Wolf, SK, BC (K.Rool I guess?)

Also 6 stages?

It's possible, and if it is, then damn they worked fast to port Duck hunt over. Although it may not have been that hard.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Actually it's three because of the omega versions.

 

[Roaring Salsa]

Hype!

So right now I'm thinking it'll be: 1 veteran, 1 highly requested character and 1 oddball choice

I still think one more slot will be added, so DLC Character Bundle #2 also has 4 characters

 

[A Distant Demon]

Not to be the most pessimistic pessimist to ever be pessimistic. . .but we don't necessarily have at least 3 more characters guaranteed. It's possible ((albeit illogical) for the placeholders to go unused for whatever reason.

I don't think they will but who knows. Weirder things have happened

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Hype!

1 Wolf, 1 K.Rool, 1 Ryu

Actually it's three because of the omega versions.

Still six either way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1 for each DLC character I guess.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

It could be that each slot is a character they've already started working on. It could indicate they had 2 people picked out with Roy and Ryu, then 1 came along after them.

It's entirely possible. They'll just add slots as they pick characters.

 

[Roaring Salsa]

Btw, how would the three new slots leave the character select screen in both the Wii U and 3DS?

 

[Deleted member]

So this means we're getting at least three characters and two more stages
The timing makes me think this is the first ballot character, with the previous too have been being worked on for some time
Theory:
First one could possibly be Wolf as we have a 3 characters to 2 stages and no vet was bundled with a stage
If SK rumor is true, then he is the second slot
And finally, three is our mystery ballot "winner"(by that I mean it had the glory of being the first to be chosen)

 

[Chandeelure]

... I'm excited.

 

[vaanrose]

This demonstrates, more than anything, that plans change. Whatever they were thinking back in June, they're clearly thinking something else now.

Why would they add it if they're not even certain they're going to use them?
Just yesterday, the general consensus was "only two more characters" now with a slot discovered it's "we might only get one or two more"

 

[AreJay25]

If the past two days have been any indication.

Sakurai is a wild, wild man.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Oh gosh.

One more stage and one more character added at the same time.

**** guys, it's a new series.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Edit: Don't worry nvm.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Oh gosh.

One more stage and one more character added at the same time.

**** guys, it's a new series.

Hate to bring him up again but Shovel Knight maybe if that rumour is true?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Remember when the character placeholders were first data mined? Were they found when Roy and Ryu were datamined or before that?

With Ryu and Roy yes.

 

[eltacoenojado]

Exciting news, Wolf has to be coming now!

 

[A Distant Demon]

Why would they add it if they're not even certain they're going to use them?
Just yesterday, the general consensus was "only two more characters" now with a slot discovered it's "we might only get one or two more"

Why have the initial 6 mario slots if they weren't sure how many they are going to use ? (terrible argument I know) I don't think it's likely (I stated as such) but the possibility is still there. Things change. Deals fall through. The NX will eventually exist which may change even more plans.

I think 3 is likely the minimum now. . .but I won't rule out that less than 3 is still possible.

N Direct when?

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Oh gosh.

One more stage and one more character added at the same time.

**** guys, it's a new series.

2 stages were added.

 

[Soul.]

Oh boy if 3DS gets Smashville...
pls sakurai make it happen

 

[Roaring Salsa]

Will K. Rool's finest hour finally arrive? Are you sure Wolf can't let Sakurai cut him? Is there more to dig on those Shovel Knight rumors? Find out in the next Crashboards

 

[Arcanir]

Hm, looks like another one of my predictions were incorrect, but that is definitely not a bad thing as having more potential characters are always a plus.

 

[Chandeelure]

Oh gosh.

One more stage and one more character added at the same time.

**** guys, it's a new series.

Enjoy my good friend Chibi-Robo!

 

[vaanrose]

With Ryu and Roy yes.

That's the other thing. They know we look at this stuff.
