Smash Bros Direct on April 8th, 3pm PST!!

[Substitution]

Oh, good point. I'm not very smart with my money, so as soon as I saw the games on Amazon I immediately pre-ordered it. Sure I could've saved money by trading in certain games, but oh well.

Eh, not like I'll miss said game.

But back on topic.
I really hope we get 3DS footage this time around.
The last time we got footage was like thirty seconds at E3.
We're more than due.

 

[Kenith]

####'s

#TeamGhirahim is just us?

It's frowns all around for me.

 

[N3ON]

@ andimidna
Please don't post the results on every page, there are only a few new ones added each time and it's bordering on spam now.

 

[SlickWylde]

What happened to you and why do you hate fun so much?

Um, hmmm. Not what I want, but I feel like we're getting Mii, and I don't know if they'll be in the game but if they are I think Snake and Ridley will be revealed here, so:

#TeamMii
#TeamSnake
#Team Ridley

lol I'm just messing around, I'm having a blast on this thread!

I don't have any idea what we'll get, but I'm hoping for a release date! So I guess I'm on
#TeamReleaseDate

 

[Zzuxon]

AAALLLL AABBOOOAARRRD!!!
*choo choo*

 

[N. Onymous]

#TeamLip (lol no one :'D)
#TeamK.Rool
#TeamRidley

Spoiler

#TeamNotPacMan

 

[N3ON]

As was already asked several times, please add more substance (such as actual discussion pertaining to the Direct) to your posts instead of just having #Teamwhatever. Eventually there will be warnings or infractions given out if it continues.

 

[Substitution]

So, do you think there will be other games included in the Direct?

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

[collapse=ORLY?]

[/collapse]

Lol well yeah, not all of them seem boring. I just think it would be kinda lame if we were capable of predicting all of the characters. I mean most of them suggested seem like anime characters honestly, and too many of them fall in line of the same popular choices.

Like, for Star Fox everyone is suggesting Krystal. I mean, why not someone like General Pepper? I heavy hitting badass who excels at hand to hand combat? He could have some cool moves and specials that revolve around having the cornerian army backing him up. Like he can have a special that is like a remote android beacon that travels off of platforms and the stage for a short period of time and when it detonates the great fox will shoot a volley of lasers at the beacon area If you hit it hard enough with your own attacks it will blow up and deal explosive damage, or you can just press B and order the ships to attack.

I mean it's just one idea, but there are so many other characters that people never think about, which is why Wii Fit Trainet was such a surprise to everyone.

 

[Kenith]

Also, who wants the new Direct to be just like this?

You guys remember this?

 

[Starcutter]

are we still doing the #Team____ thing?


if so, I'm going to be a bit risky.

#TEAMLAYTON

 

[Shaya]

I would allow it if it could be trusted to not completely over saturate/flood out/noah's ark/tsunami everything else this thread can/should be used for.
Posts that are just hashtags from this point are going to be dealt with; one way or another.

I don't think there needs to be someone actively tallying hashtag posts either. Especially if they irresponsibly flood a page of posts with it multiple times. Remember that after the direct is done, you could search this thread for #HASHTAG and then toot your own horns about it then.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm really hoping the direct will be longer than 5 minutes...I just can't imagine that wait for a character reveal since March being worth it if it nothing much gets said like "Oohh....heres [Newcomer]! Bye bye!"

 

[N. Onymous]

Also, who wants the new Direct to be just like this?

Yes please.

 

[Starcutter]

oh yeah also.....


ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN

yeah like this hasn't been done before... whatever.

 

[Fatmanonice]

#TeamYourMom'sBackHair

I know you guys are excited but let's not make this thread Gamefaqs levels of cancerous with all these hashtags...

I'm hoping for a curve ball along with a really popular character and one more on the obscure side. Somebody that virtually nobody would have seen coming but I suppose it'll be hard to top WFT in that department.

 

[Substitution]

Just watch.
All you will be hyped for some big all-star newcomer.

And come to find out it's some guy who we've never seen since the NES era.
Just you wait...

 

[N. Onymous]

Or SNES, just saying.

 

[Kenith]

Okay one more.

#Team

Okay I'm done.

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

Also, who wants the new Direct to be just like this?

You guys remember this?

Yes. I like commentary sometimes, but I also like it when it's just clips of solid gameplay that let us pick it apart ourselves. This way we can spend months scanning the video, finding new things, and talking about them

 

[N3ON]

Just watch.
All you will be hyped for some big all-star newcomer.

And come to find out it's some guy who we've never seen since the NES era.
Just you wait...

As long as we get a newcomer, there will be massive hype. If people can get hyped for WFT, there realistically isn't much that won't result in a hypsplosion.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Just watch.

And come to find out it's some guy who we've never seen since the NES era.
Just you wait...

Considering that pretty much describes Takamaru, the last of the three main new characters I wanted in this game, I'd be perfectly okay with that.

 

[andimidna]

Woah! Oops!
I try to count up a page's votes and right when I'm about to post I have 23 notifications and 1 infraction... yikes.

Ok, it was just convenient for me to move the data from one page to the bottom and move on to the next.

I've been like 40 minutes behind you guys for a while, so anything said to me I didn't see for a while... heh...

I didn't even get BluePikmin11's name right until the current votes I was counting.
Does anybody else want to do this?
Seems more trouble than it's worth....
Here's what I had, wasn't done with the page maybe... maybe I was... don't remember.

Spoiler

My name is not BluePikmin12.

SHH!
Don't say that so loud! BluePikmin10 might hear you!

[JamesDNaux]

This is the only thing I need to contain my hype.

I'm still betting on a main course of Takamaru, Palutena, and Ridley, with a side helping of Sheik, Ganondorf, Zamus, and another veteran.

Of course Solid Snake is for dessert. I need some damn dessert Sakurai.

I wish Toad is confirmed.... he's been deconfirmed so many times that many people stopped supporting/expecting him.... so he would be almost unexpected.

Oh, and Duck Hunt Dog would be epic... the perfect retro character to follow in Mr. Game & Watch's and R.O.B.'s footsteps.

Praying for Yoshi!!!!

Well, by hype, you mean hate.
Mind you, it wasn't till much later that we all pulled a 180 and started to like WFT. Heck, the same could be said for Rosalina. Albeit on a lesser scale.
I can guarantee you there will be fire. For many here. It isn't "what", it's "who".

You don't really have to pray, considering Yoshi is in the roster anyways for sure.

And I'm the only one with Reggie... lol.

Y'know what be cool? If the beginning of the direct had people dressing up as the characters and basically be a homage to the N64 commercial and at the end, Sakurai comes up and "smash" everyone away.

EDIT: I don't know why this is spoiler'ed

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Sakurai needs to explain dem' there ledge mechanics.

 

[Boston Sean]

You don't really have to pray, considering Yoshi is in the roster anyways for sure.

Yea I know that, but I want to see potential new moves.

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

Bowser Jr. vandalizes the battle!! Or at least, that's what I'm hoping for.

Us Bowser Jr. fans have to stick together you know.

 

[RogersBase]

Words cannot express how hype I am for this Smash Direct.

With that said, my predictions are as follows:

• At least two character reveals. One veteran, one newcomer. On the side of the veterans, I wouldn't be surprised be to see Yoshi, Wario, Falcon or Ness and, if Snake returns, I feel like this Nintendo Direct would be the time to announce it. I could also see a Mewtwo re-reveal. In terms of newcomers, there are three who I fully expect to be in the new games: Mii, Palutena and Pac Man. With that being said, I expect one of them to be revealed come Tuesday (my bets are on Mii)
• New Final Smash reveals for veteran characters (ala the Poltergust Luigi rework). Mega Lucario FS for Lucario is the one that I most expect and with the Mega Evolution anime special going on right now in Japan, I think it's a strong possibility.
• Release date. I'm guessing October/November but I would not be surprised by a late Summer release date.

I actually did a prediction video earlier today so you can check that out too (though I pretty much reiterate what I posted here in the video)

 

[BeatNinja]

Kinda odd that they're doing this rather close to E3.

 

[N3ON]

Well, by hype, you mean hate.
Mind you, it wasn't till much later that we all pulled a 180 and started to like WFT. Heck, the same could be said for Rosalina. Albeit on a lesser scale.
I can guarantee you there will be fire. For many here. It isn't "what", it's "who".

The dislike for WFT only outweighed the hype for a few hours, and Rosalina was always more hyped than hated since her reveal. You can't base reaction to characters on their standing now, once they get revealed the majority of people end up liking them, even many who decried them before. It would take a hell of a hated/unwanted/poorly fitting character to retain a higher amount of dislike than support post-reveal, and I really don't see that happening.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Smash 4 will be released during the week of E3.

Just got this feelin'

 

[The Real Gamer]

My god nearly 1k comments... You people are crazy.

Or am I not crazy enough?

Funny, I actually saw this video earlier today. I agreed with pretty much all of your points.

Personally, I'm Team Palutena, so I'll be looking out for her. And plus you seem smart so I think I will like you.

 

[EnthusedPanda]

Perhaps our "please understand" will come in the form of Iwata "please understand"ing as a final smash and everyone actually understanding for a few seconds.

 

[N3ON]

Smash 4 will be released during the week of E3.

Just got this feelin'

That's a good way to have attention drawn away from it by all those other games getting media attention, not to mention that's pretty much the busiest time of year for gaming journalism, they won't be able to give Smash proper due if it comes out then.

Nintendo isn't gonna be doing that. No companies do that with their triple-A titles.
