Hey, can someone tell me how many hours away the Direct is? I'm trying to figure out the Australian time as per usual. The official post said 8am, but sometimes they'll just air a replay so it's not like oi Aussies get up at 2am.

It is 8am Thursday. I did the time zone conversion before Nintendo Australia put up the time.

And I've never seen the Australian Nintendo website put a time that isn't when it airs live.

You have no idea what a "Grappler" is, do you?

I've found things tend to work differently in platform fighters than in traditional ones, and the archetypes are affected by it. A full on grappler in the style of a traditional fighter would be, from what I can tell at this time, difficult and impractical to pull off.

Hasn't stopped the likes of Paco and Luffy.

I wonder if there'll be any "Released at the end of the presentation" stuff. There's been 15% off eShop cards here so I topped up my wallet without second thought today. It's almost like Nintendo wants me to spend money, what with the discount starting when the Direct got announced.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

It still feels...I dunno. I've seen my own videos get tagged with random-ish games before, so I'm hesitant on this one.

So is Push. I'm in consistent contact with him and the rest of the Source Gaming staff.

So, yeah, apparently there was an update that I didn't see where one of the guys over on Reddit put in the terms that Nintendo used into a live stream of his own. Apparently, 3DS and Wii could very well be the reason that the game was tagged in the Livestream, so it could very well be a mistake. Interestingly, Wii is apparently in the terms of this Direct Livestream? That's strange but I guess they're just covering all their bases.

Overall I feel it's a toss up. On one hand this could have easily been a mistake on YouTube's part. On the other hand this has happened in the past at which point games that are similar, or a simple earlier version of the game, was tagged and then it was shown off. Of course I mentioned Pokken DX and Splatoon 2, but apparently during the E3 Livestream Woolly World was tagged and then we got a new Yoshi game shown off.

Just saying, keep your hype in check but don't throw out the possibility of seeing Smash in this Direct, specifically if it's an upgraded port.

 

[SuperMii3D]

With all the hype surrounding this Direct, I'll keep myself intact by making only a wish list:

Smash Bros Switch
Animal Crossing Switch
New Tomodachi Life

Even if these don't happen, it'll still be a good Direct because Mario Odyssey is gonna be in it

 

[praline]

Whaaaat? Why would anyone be pissed at that? Thats the best thing ever and very south parky for sure. Are they so pissed, that the joke went over their heads?

Most people I saw took it well, minus the folks who get easily triggered by South Park in general.


It's honestly pretty great social satire.

I saw a lot of people on twitter getting like blood curdlingly enraged over it.

Z-Move for Lycanroc confirmed.

The next images from CoroCoro have also come and have confirmed that Lycanroc is to get a special Z-Move called Radial Edge Storm which requires Lycanroc to know the move Stone Edge. It has a secondary effect that eliminates field effects such as Terrain. It can work on all forms of Lycanroc. It also confirms Rockruff that have the ability Own Tempo, which is currently only available from the distribution, can evolve into Dusk Form between 17:00 and 17:59 after Level 25. Only those Rockruff can evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc.

So to get Dusk Lycanroc:

• Rockruff needs to have Own Tempo (event-only)
• Rockruff needs to be at least level 25.
• It needs to level up between 17:00-17:59

That sounds tedious.

 

[Deleted member]

You know what time it is

Spoiler: BINGO

View attachment 132602

Some fun facts:
-A kinky NieR Automata slot got scrapped
-Im not sorry about the Tiki one
-Yes, Im betting against Smash
-The L.A. Noire slot is from an unlreleased episode fittingly called "Squid Noir", it will premiere in Nov. 7

Oh hey, EOV got recognised
It'd be a little more BDSM but I guess this counts

Honestly I may not have time to make a bingo sheet.

Unless you want it as just text, but I don't think anyone wants it.

Do it.
Not all of us can make pretty Spongebob bingo sheets but we can apl bet our heads in it

Z-Move for Lycanroc confirmed.



So to get Dusk Lycanroc:

• Rockruff needs to have Own Tempo (event-only)
• Rockruff needs to be at least level 25.
• It needs to level up between 17:00-17:59

That sounds tedious.

Does it become something a little more useful or am I stuck with Own Tempo?

And I'm glad we didn't get a Dawn form now, imagine having to do that at 5am in the morning.

 

[Michele]

Does anyone knows when will the Nintendo direct start in Europe timezone? I'm from Europe and it's 12:00 here when I post it. Or to be more precise, how much hours and minutes away from the Nintendo Direct?

For Nintendo Direct, there are just so too much things to check so I'll just shorten my wishes:

- A announcement about a new Smash. Hopefully there's adventure mode like Brawl, just hoping it will be a bigger evil.
- Some more footage of the remake of SuperstarSaga, especially about the part when you level up.
- More footage of Mario Odyssey (Damn it! I can't wait for that game especially with school coming up )

 

[RamOne]

Michele : It's in 12 hours so when the clock hits giovedi.

Does it become something a little more useful or am I stuck with Own Tempo?

And I'm glad we didn't get a Dusk form now, imagine having to do that at 5am in the morning.

Currently unknown, but I think it keeps Own Tempo. I think they'd have said it if it has something else.

 

[Delzethin]

Z-Move for Lycanroc confirmed.

Now we're talking! The signature Z-Move they teased in the reveal trailer has finally shown itself, and it sounds damn useful, too! It's linked to Stone Edge (a move every Lycanroc runs already), hits hard, and erases terrain. Your move, Tapus.

Perfect Final Smash material, too...

So to get Dusk Lycanroc:

• Rockruff needs to have Own Tempo (event-only)
• Rockruff needs to be at least level 25.
• It needs to level up between 17:00-17:59

That sounds tedious.

That...yeah, that's a pain. I don't know why they're introducing it that way, to be honest. I get that it's (seemingly) meant to be a brand new subspecies created by Necrozma's influence, but couldn't there have been a better way to go about it?

Hopefully they'll be more widespread in future games.

Does it become something a little more useful or am I stuck with Own Tempo?

Two words: Tough Claws.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

I may be letting the Direct hype train get to me a bit, LOL.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

But without concrete expectations it results in this.

5 PM....that's right as I get home. Hm.

Maybe I leave a bit earlier than usual today.

We've been getting small bits of info lately. I'm appreciating that. That Dusk Lycanroc artwork looks sick by the way.

A few things.

Its Z-Move sounds alright in a terrain controlled meta such as this. However, using this means you a sacrificing an item slot for Lycanroc when you can just use a Tapu of your own to erase the other terrain. Terrains usually assist both sides in some way too. Like for me, I love it when opponents set up Electric Terrain when my Magnezone is on the prowl. Finally, take into account that you can only use Z-Moves once, whereas a Tapu or setter can reset terrains. Overall, this is not actually that fantastic of a Z-Move, and the only actual viable reason of using it is to ensure Stone Edge isn't Stone Miss,(which, yes, is actually a fair reason). Its something new however, so I ain't ********.

As for Dusk Lycanroc's evolution requirements, its really tedious to evolve. We already figured this. Still, if its stats are good, which we haven't been clued in on yet, then maybe it'll be worth it. It already has an arguably better ability.

On a separate note, in Japan, and maybe other places in the future- though unconfirned- preordering USUM copies will gift you with a shiny Silvally.

. . .HUH. I'm looking at Twitter and I think Japanese Splatoon 2 is in the middle of a Square meme of some kind. I can't read Japanese so I have no idea what it says, but the same goofy face keeps being drawn or having drawings taken pictures of over and over again.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Just watched Watchmen with my sister.

While I can't compare it to the comic. This was honestly a great movie in my opinion. Sure, it's the not the perfect adaptation that Watchmen should have. But making a perfect adaptation of Watchmen in movie format would be impossible. So I am happy with what they did right.

Now, 'gotta wait for the direct that is again, really REALLY late for me, dang it Nintendo.

Neat
Just curious, which kind of artstyle that inspired your artwork? Is it from a series or an artist?

I have various artists that inspire/influence me, I often pick and pull from different ones over very specific things. Like, say I like the way Hirose does toning, or I like the nice thin and clean lines you see in the work of Frank Frazetta, I like the dynamic poses that Yusuke Murata does in OPM, or the cityspaces in the work of Oh Great!, or how Daiskuke Ishiwatari designs gnarly-looking characters for Guilty Gear, or the way Kr0n and Zeronis draw eyes for girls, etc...

I'm always looking at the work of others, and if I find something I like, and feel would suit my style, I try to learn from it, and incorporate it into my work.

Most of my influences are Asian though, yeah. However, when it comes to painting, I tend to lean more toward western artists, especially the great masters.

I just feel that when it comes to comics/manga, and animation, Japan is unrivaled. In many ways, I feel that Japan are the ones who truly carried on the spirit of Walt Disney when it comes to animation, pushing the boundaries of the medium and what defines it, compared to what modern Disney has done to 2D animation.

Good luck with that, remember, My Hero Academia's creator started out at winning a contest in one Shounen Jump manga artwork contest.
Also be aware that Shounen tends to close those manga series that don't do well... which makes sense but kind of sad...

Thanks!

I'm aware of how SJ works, I've read Bakuman. That's why we're not aiming to just win, but to rival some of the best stuff currently on the magazine.

Hm.. I like your idea.
And yeah, the bottom left 2nd is Yoko from Gurren Laggan, watched it a couple of months ago, and oh man it was sooooo goood.
Your Yoko sketch is marvelous too. No bluffing at all. I would like to see you draw Nia though.

Thanks. Yeah TTGL is easily in my top 10 favorite anime. Not cause it's super amazing or anything like that, but because the themes of the story really resonated with me. It's actually where my username comes from.

It's amazing how you've come along, and that first page is especially gorgeous! Really impressive, looks entirely professional.
Best of luck on the Jump contest, getting in would be huge~

Also, BRS was my first avi on here (that I can remember) ^_^

Thanks!

I feel fairly confident we can win, especially after looking at all the current entries and the winner of the past contest (none of them are any good tbh). That said, anything could happen, so I don't wanna count the chickens before they hatch. Who knows, some Korean or Chinese genius might just crop up during the last few months with some amazing entry. Still we have a lot going for us, especially since it's a team effort between me and Che.

Either way, win or lose, we'll still push forward with this, and find our way into the Japanese market, I think that's the key to success with this. And if Jump holding a contest toward global audiences for the very first time ever tells us anything, it's that the Japanese anime/manga industry is opening up more and more to the west. Which = opportunity.

 

[Aurane]

You ever sit somewhere and grunble to yourself aloud the things you HAVE to get done today?

I sounded like an engine from afar apparently went I was doing that. I got a call to make in two hours and I really, REALLY don't want to do it.

But if it goes well, I might have a job in the future. We'll see.

It has been 5165 days since F-Zero GX was released.

... That's it, that's all I've got. 5166 very soon.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Nintendo's come out guns blazing for the Switch's launch but that also means that by the year's end the three big series (Mario, Zelda, Pokemon) will all have games on the system which makes me wonder what their must have game of 2018 will be. Nintendo's other heavy hitters Yoshi, Kirby, FE and Metroid (along with a "real" Pokemon game) are all in development but none have names (well Metroid does but nothign else) so they're still a ways off. I wonder if the name and release will be given for one of them in this direct.

Not to mention the brands without Switch games like Donkey Kong, Pikmin, Star Fox and IMO, the most important, Animal Crossing. I hope we get something for them.

And there's also the "dead" series that could use a little love. You know the ones.

 

[Wario Bros.]

It has been 5165 days since F-Zero GX was released.

And 4,710 days since the last installment (Climax).

 

[Coricus]

1999 days

Probably give or take, I didn't pay attention to the math too hard and didn't take into account leap years

I don't know, I feel like if I'm not keeping up with what every other fandom is doing I'm not trying hard enough to do right by it.

Unless you're waiting for Samus Returns, stop whatever you're doing right now and go watch Archdan's latest Lonely Roy panels on Miiverse, the guy literally dared to come from comedy to epicness, and the result is ecstatic.

Then again, I'm the guy whose avatar is Deadpool in a maid outfit, so becoming a princess might be the next step to my descent into madness...

 

[New_Dumal]

One of the major reasons I believe there will be Smash, alongside the date, is that is a 45 minute direct.
Bigger than the E3 direct, they will be talking about something for a very long time. And Sakurai kind of...likes to speak a lot. Show every special of a Newcomer, his Final Smash, his stage. I miss Sakurai talking about Smash.While I think he lacks vision about competitive Smash, he is so passionate about his creations. Come see us again, Sakurai sensei.
