You could be right, Mr. Geno. I do not think it's Direct at all.

But why did he say that? For what?

I'm assuming by the comments in that tweet that it is a DLC costume.
Probably something to do with the cube or maybe they have something cool coming back to the shop tonight. Hopefully the wild card skin.

We're shells of our former selves lol. That was during the time where BoTW hype was at a fever pitch and everyone was gushing over it. What a different time that was.

And it's funny because you liked this post as well as the one I was referring to from 2016. That's some long-term storytelling right there. :shades:

Ironically though, it was ChikoLad ChikoLad who brought up the possibility of it being the result of what I felt in mind. Which I would find out was actually the case 5 months later.
I should take my own advice one of these days.

I'm glad everything is working out for you though and you got the help you needed.

Well, I did get all the medical testing I needed to show I was healthy and I had no issues like that (more times than I needed admittedly so) but I made the lifestyle changes anyways to make sure that something like that would never happen to me if it were real. And it's funny because I remember the sequence of events clearly from those 3 days. Granted it wasn't a huge amount of time ago but given the past 2+ years it might as well be a decade.

I take it you have the same thing happening to you?

Nintendo seems to be in a poor situation with the direct. Unless it’s dropped tomorrow then they have to go with 9/11 as it’s release day or wait to Thursday and risk famitsu leaks because apparently something has proven it will have smash stuff(idk on this though)
Granted Nintendo did put out mario maker on 9/11.

But then it’s kind of hypocritical. We presume the delay was out of respect, but if that’s the case, airing it on a day of rememberence in the United States and sort of the world, is just as bad as airing it at its original date.

Sure there’s Wednesday but st that point famitsu will likely leak before the direct airs.

Nintendo should have honestly just dropped in on the site

If the Direct airs on Monday at 5PMEST, it'll be at an appropriate date. It'll still be September 10 in all of the Americas, 10PM in the UK, and 11PM for all of Europe. It'll only be September 11 in other areas in the East which would be less sensitive to that date. That's my take anyways.

2016, huh, that brings back memories. That was when I only ever showed up here on the rare occasion someone was talking about SNES Fire Emblem or something.

and I should have kept it that way too, back then everyone just gave me free likes every time I posted because they were all afraid of the big bad moderator

This could work but Nintendo would likely announce that today and it seems unlikely

Given the situation, it could be unorthodox where they just drop the Direct the day of. Almost like what they did in January but now because of the delay.

If not then i'm banking on Wednesday or Thursday as the date.

Smash Ultimate comes out when Pearl Harbor got bombed.

9/11 was a tragedy, but it was also years ago. The Earthquake in Hokkaido had only just happened.

Yeah, 9/11 isn't going to stop a possible Direct from happening.

It's not stopping volume 4 of the Splatoon manga from releasing on that day.

Not the same thing, but I have at least two things I should probably see a doctor about. Nothing that's likely to be life threatening but still not pleasant to deal with.

I keep putting it off though because I've tried applying for a medical card and they keep declining me, despite the fact I should pass all of their stated requirements. Without one, a doctor's visit costs me €50 and that's before taking prescription into account. And since I'm trying to buy some things I need to get my YouTube channel going, plus birthdays, Christmas, and a couple of games I want are around the corner, I just can't fit it in right now. Which probably sounds silly but really I'm not too worried about either of the things and one of them might be me overthinking things anyway. The other is an on-and-off physical issue that I sometimes get so it's nothing new and I've been doing fine with it.

There is no Famitsu leak, the issue that's been going around is actually going to discuss news from the Smash Direct.

Also, I don't mean to downplay the tragedy of 9/11, but it it happened a long time ago. Hokkaido literally just happened, and I don't think Nintendo cancelling it out of just "respect" is even the full truth. It's very likely that actual Nintendo of Japan employees had family and friends to worry about so they cancelled operations for a little while so people could help their families.

What happened there? I'm curious. Did Spy become overpowered again (lol)?
The actual auto-balance system. If the teams becomes unbalanced (one team needs to have at least two less players than the other) then the game will force one certain player over to the other team within a set short amount of time, assuming no other players join the team to balance it out within that time period.

The game doesn't doesn't factor much into who gets switched or why besides the player count, so you could be less than a minute away from the match being over, or one point away from your team winning the game, but the auto-balance system will shove someone over to the other team anyway, even if it can't possibly make a difference by that point.

The old systems were flawed (the original system would wait for players to die before actually switching them over to the other team, then later on, the system asked suitable players if they wanted to join the other team to balance things out and gain extra EXP as a bonus; this caused issues since players didn't actually take the offer very often, leaving the other team with a low player count. Later on, this version wouldforcibly switch players only if nobody accepted the offer) but this one is possibly the worst yet, imo.

The winner of the Tales poll from the last few days (I got to stop with the breaks) is Lloyd Irving. As expected, Mr Lowell (yuri) is the second most popular Smash choice. Leon did better than Cless in the end of the day.

Next will be a poll focused on modern Namco series, some more recent than others. The choices are Kite from .Hack, Klonoa, Alisa from God Eater, and The Chosen Undead from Dark Souls (I know he is from From Software, roll with it).

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Begin.

Both are fair points. But I was just jotting down some thoughts after seeing all the speculation and debate the past few days across sites.

I know about that famitsu but the one this week launches Thursday seems like it could have actually games from the direct and not just smash(if smash at all).

And I’m sure if that’s the case they definitely wouldn’t want leaks such as a hypothetical new animal crossing being shown in famitsu first.

The "of" in your username bugs me because the "o" isn't uppercase :V
Generally in titles or names, of isn't capitalized.

Though generally they have spaces. :p

Oh 2016. I need to go back and like old posts just to get people to look at their old stuff.

So glad I got rid of that Ersatz guy and stole his account. Good times.

He's making fun of his previous username. It's a common joke for users here to make fun of and mock their last usernames.

By the way, which one was Apollo Justice back then? I'm having a hard time remembering if it was ChikoLad ChikoLad or Jojalole Jojalole who had the Apollo Justice name.

Yeah, speaking of that, that "Mao644" guy was so boring and whiny, I'm glad he is gone.

Back in 2016...

Heh, well I guess not much has changed. I have matured a fair amount since then and College for me has since been done.

In hindsight, 2016 was a simpler time for me and the world.
Both are fair points. But I was just jotting down some thoughts after seeing all the speculation and debate the past few days across sites.I know about that famitsu but the one this week launches Thursday seems like it could have actually games from the direct and not just smash(if smash at all).

And I’m sure if that’s the case they definitely wouldn’t want leaks such as a hypothetical new animal crossing being shown in famitsu first.
What they could do is have the Smash reveal on Monday or Wednesday and then have the Direct without Smash on Thursday.

Is universal health care not a thing in Ireland? Like here in Canada, I could go to a walk-in clinic and get free treatment/a free evaluation even if I have to pay for prescription sometimes.

But yeah I hope whatever you have isn't serious.

You see 'roobie-dooby-doo, I was feeling pretty good that day, I had 6 hours of sleep and I found $20, so I went down to this local internet cafe. This guy, username Ersatz, had no cash for his double flat white so I offered to buy something from him. The loser offered this Smashboards account so I offered him the $20. He accepted, but as soon as he went up to the counter to pay I stole back the money. No one around would believe that he sold a video game forum account for money.

Actually I used to go by Ersatz. I changed my name when I realized it was lame.
