Not really, considering the Smash micro-Direct thing is technically happening before E3. Maybe find a shorter game to immerse yourself into for a little while?
I was lucky enough to get an early access demo for the new Shantae game, so that satiated something I've been anticipating. Also have stuff coming in the mail today that is giving me something else to look forward to first.
Going to see Jurassic World tomorrow
Same here! That will help pass a day really quickly for me!
Naturally, Krystal fans would also be dinosaur fans.
As I've said many a time.
I've seen them too. As a Roy supporter, to have our boy Roy come back to Smash Bros, it's great!
The only other vet that will come in next is wolf, Young link can easily be a toon link alt. And pichu? Why.
I've never really expected to get a Krystal reveal along side Wolf at E3. Would be awesome, but I find it unlikely. I do expect a Wolf reveal though and I expect a prominent appearance by Krystal in the new Star Fox Wii U trailer. Those are the things I'm expecting. Krystal may not have great odds at being outright confirmed for Smash at E3 but she has great odds at making a Star Fox appearance. That's the fuel we'll use to push her into even stronger smash contention. I believe in Krystal's chances, just not in the immediate future. We're still in the pre-ballot era of this DLC thing imo.
Poor Falco. Didn't he get nerfed enough?It was GLORIOUS!! Who's the king of the tier list now, Falco?!
I guess Roy disagrees.
You know they can add slots. It isn't that hard.
From what I've seen, Ryu only had mild ballot support, and even that was because of the leak. He must've made it in for other reasons we don't know of yet.

, Delzethin - Well, since it's not exactly E3 yet, and technically this whole Smash Direct tomorrow is set before E3 officially starts, you really can't be too certain about the events that will or will not take place during the main E3 days. I think Star Fox U will be a given to show on the main Nintendo Direct on the 16th, and considering that back during E3 2013, Wii Fit Trainer wasn't shown immediately during the first reveal of Smash 4 (which had Villager and Mega Man on the debut trailer), but rather about a day later, we could still see a Wolf reveal this week (but since his data's not in this update, he will probably be in the next one, still in development.)
DeNice
is on the same wavelength as me.What DeNice said. That is the likely scenario. I've even heard a rumor that Capcom was more interested in letting Nintendo use Ryu than they were Megaman. Ryu was an idea for a long while before now, I'm sure.
I don't think Roy and Ryu hurt Wolf or Krystal's chances, so much as I think that it simply means that Wolf and Krystal may have different times to be revealed instead of E3. I agree however that it is possible that there still could be a reveal at E3 for later character DLC.@
Roy and Ryu do not hurt Krystal's chances in the long run or Wolf's chances in the short term. The past two E3's revealed 3 new characters. We have two now. Wolf seems very likely for a post Star Fox Wii U trailer. Roy's inclusion makes Wolf even more likely in fact. In Japanese polls Lucas, Wolf, and Roy were almost always the top three requested vets with Wolf usually closer to first and second in requests. It makes sense that Wolf would come later than the other two, just so he could coincide with Star Fox hype. The fact that Roy and Ryu and Lucas have been made playable at the same time also shows the amount of work Sakurai's team is still able to produce. "Bunches" of dlc characters can be done at once. It bodes well for ballot decisions made by the team and how much content we can expect... assuming they didn't just burn themselves out on these three and will slow their pace later.
I'm optimistic about the implications here, but I don't think it's unwarranted. If we're to continue pushing our character, we have to at least believe all the same. In a couple days, we'll see what Star Fox Wii U could do for us. In the most hopeful best case scenario, we may have nothing to do because Krystal really will get revealed along side Wolf. Not holding my breath for THAT much fortune, but I think things are still looking up under reasonable expectations.
Part of the problem is we know so little about Star Fox Wii U. Many of our questions will be answered in a couple days. We may have a better idea as to how Nintendo will promote the game once we actually know something concrete about the game.
I think his best odds for a reveal are right after the Star Fox Wii U presentation. Keep your eyes open. May come later in a special direct or something, but my bet is on after the E3 presentation. Nothing is certain of course, but that just seems the most likely and suitable. Unlike Roy and Ryu though, he'll get an announcement like Lucas did a couple months ago. Roy and Ryu will be announced and then be available shortly after it seems. Not sure on that, but there's as much of them in the data as there is Lucas at this point. Only reason not to release them soon is to stagger releases even if the characters are pretty much done.
RIP Metroid fans
The problem with Metroid is that Ridley is the next most iconic Metroid character by miles. No other character really honestly feels right getting in before him as a representative. And that's a problem because we all know by now that Sakurai has pretty much stated that Ridley's fate is sealed.
Still unfair considering that it's one of nintendo's biggest franchise's and is still being represented by Samus alone
Ridley is a stage hazard
