Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Morbi]

We're so close...

I can almost taste it....

I am trying to determine whether or not I should stay awake. If the reveal is truly Jigglypuff, I want to be one of the first people to know... on the other hand, not sleeping is detrimental to my health. Decisions. What would Jigglypuff do?

When are the reveals usually? Like how many more hours?

 

[SchAlternate]

Well, screw it. Gonna go play some LeafGreen 'till I fall asleep. When I wake up, I'll see how things are up.

What would Jigglypuff do?

Rest.

Usually in about 2 more hours.

Last night it was an hour and a half earlier though. They've been earlier than usual for the past three days.

Well, they're typically at 1:00 AM Pacific time.

Though he has updated them early this week. An hour early.

We're approximately 80 minutes to 100 minutes away!!!

We're so close...

Thanks. I will stay up. I don't have any classes tomorrow. This had better not be a waste of Jigglypuff's time.

Hopefully he continues this trend. Thanks for the info.

Sure, wynaut?

 

[Johnknight1]

I still can't believe Noah betrayed us on #TeamLucario . Oh well. It is his loss.

Slightly unhappy. I want a veteran reveal.

LOLLLLLL!!!!!! (random thought/flashback thingy)

Back before Melee and Brawl were released, you would get the Smash speculation equivalent of getting shot, stabbed, electrocuted, tortured, beaten, curb stomped, slapped, low blow'd, kicked, punched, kneed, elbowed, headbutted, water boarded, stomped, and just overall beat the heck up for saying this!!!

Oh how the times have changed...

...definitely for the better!!!

This place was brutal. I clearly missed the prime of this place, the archaic times. Really unfortunate.

I wish I would be there especially for the Sonic reveal in Brawl.

Nah, it was crazy. People were so hungry for newcomers, that if they had to result to cannibalism, they probably would.

.n_n.

It was a lot more active, but it was a lot dumber generally back then.

As for the Sonic reveal, I've told enough stories, but basically all the SWF boards and forums and sub-forums became about Sonic...

...once they were able to properly run after 2 months of being blacked out!!!

Now it's a lot calmer and smarter, sans the Fire Emblem discussion getting stupider, and the character choices getting worse due to a less viable pool of likely potential newcomer. Fortunately though the Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and especially Pokémon discussion has wised up A LOOOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!

 

[Zhadgon]

So guys I was thinking in how many character slots will have Smash this time, I´m thinking in 45 slots do you think it will be more or less?
.n_n.

 

[Bajef8]

Agreed. I'm surprised I survived pre-Brawl speculation. So when exactly does this update happen? I have an 8 am class in 5 hours. What time will it happen? 4 am?

On a side note, I'm getting decently close with my post/like ratio getting up to 1. Kinda hard since I started at 500+ posts and had to work my way up from 0 likes since it was a new system since my return. Curses.

EDIT: I'm thinking 46-49 characters, not including transformations.

 

[Morbi]

I don't know. We had 39 in Brawl. We already have 3 reveals. So we are at 42 if everyone returns. That wouldn't leave much extra room for any of the high demand characters like Palutena, Little Mac, Mewtwo, or Ridley. I honestly think that we might get capped at 50.

 

[Xaltis]

I really hope you're right. I would be okay with that. Hopefully no less.

 

[SchAlternate]

I expect around 54 or so.

By the way, I'm still here. Only with a DS with LeafGreen in hand.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

If the update doesn't turn up within a few more minutes, we should get it in roughly an hour.

 

[Johnknight1]

Slots no matter.

It's all about the actual character amount.

And since I'm a accounting major, I gotta follow the math pattern.

Super Smash Bros. 64: 12 characters
Super Smash Bros. Melee: 26 characters (14 more playable characters than Smash 64)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl: 39 characters (13 more playable characters than Melee)
Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS: 51 characters (12 more playable characters than Brawl)

So yeah, 51 (give or take a few) is my chosen number.

With Brawl I guessed 41 from the get-go (40 was my #2 number), so I think given my past history as well as my very accurate guesses (I only missed Snake, the Pokémon Trainer, and ROB), I think I'm more or less near the right number (and the right roster) yet again. However, I'm a bit less sure on the roster choices end this time for obvious reasons (no truly big Nintendo characters names left sans the Miis, Ridley, and K. Rool IMO).

 

[Bajef8]

If the update doesn't turn up within a few more minutes, we should get it in roughly an hour.

So it has been happening about 3 am this week, but normally 4 am?

 

[Xaltis]

I have a question for all of you, how do you expect the 3DS version of the game to be able to hold this much characters?

 

[Zhadgon]

I don't know. We had 39 in Brawl. We already have 3 reveals. So we are at 42 if everyone returns. That wouldn't leave much extra room for any of the high demand characters like Palutena, Little Mac, Mewtwo, or Ridley. I honestly think that we might get capped at 50.

But are you going for characters or slots?
.n_n.

 

[Morbi]

Characters. Slots are irrelevant.

 

[courte]

Yo! Hi I'm new to this specific place but wow! THIS is where all the speculation was going! Well here's mine!
I hope it's Mewtwo, but really I think it's more likely they'll keep him secret and instead show off our previous starter, Pokemon Trainer. Now for a while I've been fighting on if it'd be Kanto or Kalos Trainer...I thought Kanto cause of the Gen 1 starters in X & Y, Pokemon Origins, and Mega Evolutions! Buuut...if Mewtwo or Lucario or both are in they will definitely show off Mega Evolution...perhaps they want to show off new pokemon! They wanted Lucario to show off Sinnoh, and Pichu to show off Johto, and the Pokemon Company usually chooses who they would like to see in Smash Bros. I believe they want to show off some of their latest creations - mega evolutions or not. The final evolutions were officially revealed...today, right? The day before this new character we're sure to get. All of this leads me to believe in Kalos Trainer's reveal tonight pretty strongly. Is there any flaw in my logic ya wanna point out? Lemme know! But there's my bet.
Kalos Pokemon Trainer.

There are words for what goes on here. Speculation isn't one of them

 

[AEMehr]

You know what would kill the hype.

The reveal actually being on Monday.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

So it has been happening about 3 am this week, but normally 4 am?

Yeah, around 4 AM in your time zone. For some reason they've been getting progressively earlier in the past three days.

 

[Bajef8]

I have a question for all of you, how do you expect the 3DS version of the game to be able to hold this much characters?

It's a very large misconception that it can't hold a large amount. It can, we can assure you. Its only limitations seem to be AI and stuff, so most people are worried about Ice Climbers being implemented. I'm thinking the 3DS version will come out later than the Wii U version.

I sure hope you're right.

I actually won't be surprised if that's the case, but if the update doesn't come soon enough, I'll have to find out if I must wait a few more days in the morning.

 

[Johnknight1]

Characters barely take up any memory.

In Brawl for instance, the game uses up over 7 GB of memory. More is used for stages than characters, and music, the SSE, game modes, and online content all take up more memory than stages. The two biggest sources of memory usage was the SSE and the music, actually.

Really, the only memory issues Smash 3DS will have is music, since the SSE isn't coming back anytime soon. Still, with DLC or requiring internet downloads to get part of the game may be part of the solution.

 

[Morbi]

I wouldn't even care at that point. I would have X and Y in hand. I wouldn't even care if they revealed Jigglypuff to be honest. It had better be tonight... or else... or else I will be sad!

 

[courte]

I feel like scum for saying this, but Morbid's attitude and civility alone have won me over to a pro jiggly side. His logical open minded and well put arguments as well as his general respect for all patrons. Despite how I feel at my core at wanting an entirely new roster, is a pocket universe inside of the cockles of my Phazon drenched heart, I'm waiting anxiously for the Jiggly reveal. TY good sir.

 

[Bajef8]

To sleep or not to sleep. That is the question. But I must be here is Jigglypuff is revealed. Morbid and I shall revel in the update's glory if such an event takes place.

 

[Johnknight1]

You know what would kill the hype.

The reveal actually being on Monday.

You want to create maximum demand for a game (in this case both Smash Wii U&3DS and Pokémon X&Y) right before it comes out, not right after it comes out when you are doing cross-promoting. It is simple marketing 101.

That is because of things like this...

I wouldn't even care at that point. I would have X and Y in hand.

 

[Zhadgon]

Is the 3DS as powerful as a Gamecube? (sorry if the question seems silly but I don´t know the specs of both systems).
