Here's my theory, NO ONE KNOWS WHO'S GOING TO GET REVEALED NEXT

Not even Sakurai.

Would you be surprised that the reveal order is decided by spinning dart wheel?

 

[Zippo]

I'm not sure if Joe counts.

He doesn't have anything pertaining to a Direct on his twitter. Did he tease it on ResetEra?

Someone wanted it, so get ready for image overload.

To explain the memeness, their gifs are all just saying "get ready" and "reset the clock". This is how they all usually tease.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Which is why when you made a post assuring us the next logical choice for a reveal was Shantae in reply to me a while back I was a bit confused

bro it was just a...... you know the drill

 

[Zinith]

smw is better than smb3

I agree for many reasons, although ONE reason is good enough for me...

Why did you choose Batman over Joker? You need to rethink your profile photo.

 

[SimonferSmash]

Here's my Sakurai theory--Sakurai decides what characters he wants in Smash and to reveal them whenever the **** he wants.

I haven't been proven wrong yet.

Now this is a theory I can get behind!

Memes ruined him for me.
Guess it's time for me to RISE UP

 

[aarchak]

I haven't followed all the leakers, can someone tell me why we can trust Vergeben?

 

[Thermithral]

Not even Sakurai.

Ah Ha! This is where character chances comes into play! Not in getting the game, but the timing of their announcement. It is all coming together now.

Also, what is this music theory I have been seeing? It is not just a new version of that trophy theory from Smash 4 is it?

 

[N3ON]

Memes ruined him for me.

All the better for me and Mistah J.

There's this ROM hack called Super Mario Bros. 3mix you may be interested in...

I've not read too much into it but I think some people genuinely think the music teaser page on the website lends any kind of credence as to who the characters will be or their chances or something.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Oh man, imagine is Hehachi could somehow break the 2D Plain.

It's not Heihachi or Tekken related, but something like in a Smash game would be insane tbh.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

For one, he doesn’t backpedal and act like a 12 year old who lost an internet argument like Loz does.

Really now?

I'm going to hell for having a giggle out of that

 

[Heracr055]

It'd be funny if there was a Geno reveal...but not for Smash.
He ends up getting his own side cooking game...called Geno's Kitchen.

oh wait i must have missed something
did the forums suddenly decide Verg doesn't act like an entitled tween anymore

 

[Enchess]

I fail to see why the new music suddenly deconfirms Geno.

We're getting over 800 ****ing music tracks, and I guarantee you there are more than two or three Mario ones, especially since the series evidently has so much it's split into two on the sound test menu

Diversity in the music samples on the blog will give the impression that the 800 songs will be equally diverse and exciting. It sets a good first impression, it's good marketing.

One of the ways to help this impression of musical diversity is to avoid repeats in IP they're pulling the music from. So if they are wanting to market the game as well as possible, it makes sense to limit blog music to one song per franchise, which as I said before is easy to do.

It also makes sense for any unique newcomers to come with a new song. After all, even when we don't get a new stage (K Rool), we at least get a new song. This pattern can break, yes, but the reason why people believe it will hold is it's just good marketing.

Taking these together, a song from an IP seems to suggest they may not have a new character from that IP. Of course there's no guarantee, it's just an assumption Nintendo will want good marketing....

...but then again, Nintendo, as people repeatedly point out, don't take advantage of other easy marketing wins like tieing announcements/releases to related holidays. Sometimes some obvious marketing just isn't done cuz Nintendo gotta Nintendo.

 

[DevaAshera]

Because people will view it as money grabbing and "preplanned DLC". the practice of DLC has become blantantly abusive and with the introduction of loot-boxes/ gachas, and freemium ware has only made the Game Industry even more degenerate. Miyamoto even warned publishers about blatantly making games with DLC on purpose to complete the game. EA is the obvious example here. Of course I am not saying Sakurai mindset is like that; someone who follows his articles can deduce that he's cramming Smash Ultimate, however many people do not follow on Smash stuff will lack knowledge on Sakurai and will have the stigma of DLC / seasonal passes override their thoughts. FF XV is where this happened to me where 1/3 of the game required more money to understand / enjoy.

Smash should be in a good place because it already has too many characters in the roster as is; therefore DLC should be viewed as dessert unless its like a new mode.

I don't care if people view it that way. They'll view that way no matter what.

We know Sakurai's views on DLC, microtransactions, etc..so just shoot em down when they say it.

It's ok, y'all can admit now that you want Neku in smash so we can get the kick-*** TWEWY soundtrack in the game.

I wont judge.

We could still get those..maybe they'll put em on Midgar.

I guess you weren’t here for the Mass Isaac Flip Flop(TM) from Loz then

“Isaac is in!”
“Wait no he’s not”
“YES HE IS!”
“...on second thought don’t get your hopes up”

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Consider that mutually stated.
I quoted you bending facts to compare Geno to K Rool. I'm sorry that doesnt read as well to you as you want.
Im going to read what you write as a response to me, not go through your entire history to see if youve ever made a valid point to the argument presented.

But I'm honestly not trying to sound like an a ****. So no stress dude.

Just accept that its not some "fact" that Geno is in the same boat as others. He could be in. He could not. This is not magick, there's no rule of three.

I can respect that. My bad if I came off as a bit too hot-blooded myself.

Why did you choose Batman over Joker? You need to rethink your profile photo.

I agree. There's no reason that anybody shouldn't have Joker as their profile photo.

Spoiler: Look at this boy

Both Verg and Loz act like ****s.

Must have happened while I was on vacation. That's hilarious lol

Ehh Verg's got a sweet side to him
Has this whole philosophy about leaking not everything, but to prepare
Sometimes he's a pretty nice dude

 

[Nethermoosen]

Both Verg and Loz act like ****s.

And...we don’t believe in ****...?
Logic accepted.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

So can anyone summarize? lol


Because i do think Nintendo will announce a direct soon (unless there's one announced and I overlooked)

 

[pupNapoleon]

Not even Sakurai.

Would you be surprised that the reveal order is decided by spinning dart wheel?

I know this is a joke, but the reveal order is decided by research and development. I doubt Sakurai even has much to do with it (though I'm sure he adds his opinions, given his attention to detail).

There is a lot of thought that goes into advertising. Enough to make it look like it is none at all.

 

[PlasmaDam]

You guys think they will be a Direct this week or nah

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Personally, no. But we'll see.

 

[Luigi The President]

Sure am hoping so! Think there's a chance.

 

[kylexv]

Honestly it's a 50/50 chance for me. I feel we'll definitely get one before the 15th.

 

[aarchak]

Not this week, but probably next week. It seems about that time, doesn't it?

 

[IGuessItsOver]

This week? Nah, next week probably.
