I could see them releasing one last newcomer a few days before launch just for one last hype boost.
I'm predicting a General direct in September covering online, another Smash Direct in October covering the hidden mode and a 50 Fact Extravaganza 2 in November.
Except he IS noticing Kirby games he didn’t direct.
Skull Kid’s finals smash could also be Majora’s Wrath or something else. Maybe they figured that’d work better, then they added the Moon as an AT
Majoras Wrath makes more sense because Majora fully takes control of Skull Kid and unleashes her full power.
That is a rather specific RPG angle to use...
something like this, except just an online direct in september, and then an info dump early November.
Would be a missed opportunity IMO. If they're going for more cinematic Final Smashes, then the Moon would've been absolutely perfect for Skull Kid.
Doesn't seem too likely to me honestly. By December, the game should have already been sent to reviewers and what not. I don't think it would work for The Game Awards either since the game would already be out in Japan by the time it that event is happening.
The Moon is definitely more iconic but maybe they wanted to give Majora something to do since I don’t know what other moves would involve the mask besides a big scale FS
Yeah you're probably right. They'll probably reveal every character by early November because let's be honest the game is going to leak by the end of the month.
Great Bay's Moon doesn't interact with the stage because the Four Giants push it back before it has a chance to. It's basically more of an Easter Egg.
Okay now that is suspicious.
Obviously because Skull Kid is playable :^)
I could see the Mask pop off and says "The puppet's role has ended" and then the Mask goes beserk and mimics the first form of the final boss fight.
oh, OH, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Early November or Late October. The game will easily break street date; I have absolutely no question about it. I think Nintendo's aware of the leaks so they've been working as hard as they can to keep a tight lid on everything, which is why we're four months to release and still have a vague idea at the final roster.
the takahashi brothers are known for their shots...
Announcing DLC in fighting games before the game even launches is often a shady move. Cross Tag Battle, Injustice 2, Marvel Infinite and FighterZ have all been guilty of this one way or another.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sakurai did all these hints just to mindgame us
Well... Short version is, from being around game marketing enough, a lot of the time they're announced it's also not in a tasteful light in general for DLC. Cross Tag Battle's problem was that they announced half the roster would be DLC before actually explaining their business model and nobody could articulate it.
Ridley and K. Rool getting in along with the deconfirmation of Waluigi and Captain Toad help Geno a lot though.
We're this close my dude.
I'd say "possibly both" but we're so down to the wire that even I doubt that lol.
For Palutena's sake, the red eyes thing wasn't a tease! Have you even seen his face? He really had red eyes due to being tired. You shouldn't pretend that everything Sakurai does, says or has in his background is a tease for a new fighter.
Okay, well since people are noticing hints and to spare
vaanrose
having to do this himself.
It's not so much as the Moon appearing in multiple places as it is the weird execution. I agree that the Moon could still be Skull Kid's FS, but I don't see why they'd do something so weird and seemingly lazy. Why go through the effort to make the Moon an AT that crashes onto the stage and KOs everyone if Skull Kid can do the same move in his FS?
I wouldn't be suprised if all of this amounts to nothing and we overanalyzed it for no reason.
Not to mention that, since there's a chance Sakurai would go back to the old games for Paper Mario, both could have the same Timed Attack/Action Commands gimmick, so it wouldn't be as unique if both got in.
at this point im not even worried about Geno having no "leaks" or "hints" he seems extremely likely anyway.
Yeah, Sakurai is known not to do things like that, but maybe this time he's making an exception due to this entry being more specifically focused on fanservice and fan favorites. Maybe this time he just want to tease us for real.Okay, well since people are noticing hints and to spare
He pointed this out to me in private. That room? It's not the only room that's suspicious and has since been proven to potentially be hints:
Look at that suspicious rope ladder and barrel. This was the E3 room.
Whose it remind you of? What games? A certain game about monkeys battling a certain crocodile?
I think people are focusing too much on the angle and not looking at the picture itself. This could just be Sakurai trying to recreate a Monster Hunter scene and tweeting it since the series is so popular in Japan.
