I predict a Pokémon.

but Skull Kid shall conquer and prove me wrong, bringing me joy

 

[DraginHikari]

The biggest downside of the Direct being delayed is we are now going to have everyone and their mother claim they know what is in the direct.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Did any of the Smash websites update at all yet?

 

[Starbound]

Here's a little game i made for you guys

I took inspiration from the fake Sakurai photo we had earlier and from the chairs 'conspiracy'.

There's 9 hints for potential newcomers in this image... some are easier than others (plus there's plenty of cushions to speculate all night long, cushions are not part of the 9 hints )

View attachment 162288​

Can you list all the hints and their corresponding newcomers? (one hint in particular is pretty hard to interpret but i'll give an additional hint if necessary)

Good luck!

If you want to play on easy mode here's the original image for reference:

Spoiler

Bee hive: Honey Queen (Mario)
Sunflowers: Sunflower (Plants vs Zombies)
TTYD poster: Paper Bowser (Bowser Jr. echo)
Yoshi love poster: Birdo (Yoshi echo)
Banana: Kiddy Kong (Donkey Kong echo)
Pillows on the couch: All of the Pokemon (they just fight as a mob)
Sakurai's headband: Chef Kawasaki (making the jump from AT to playable)
Colored plate thing on second shelf: Spheal (Jigglypuff echo; it looks like a ball)
Blue paint thing on the left: DJ Octavio (Splatoon)

How'd I do?!

 

[Hinata]

:ultisaac:

It's his time in this Direct. Mark my goddamn words.

 

[Iridium]

I hate the fact that most of these "leaks" use characters we know have a good chance at getting in. Seriously, I want to see more ridiculous picks, like Big the Cat!

And I still want to see an E.T. or Missingno. leak! What would their taglines be?

 

[WaxPython]

I've been suffocated with law assignments so I've been out of the loop. Can someone please fill me in on the recent leak?

 

[TheCJBrine]

And I still want to see an E.T. or Missingno. leak! What would their taglines be?

E.T. Phones In!

MissingNo. Breaks the Game!

 

[Icedragonadam]

Still hoping for :ultilloyd:

 

[CJ Falcon]

:ultisaac:

It's his time in this Direct. Mark my goddamn words.

No it's Geno.

 

[Iridium]

E.T. Phones In!

MissingNo. Breaks the Game!

And now I need some fake screenshots of fake gameplay to top it off!

 

[TheCJBrine]

:ultskullkid:
:ultisaac:
:ultgeno:

All in one big "Sun, Moon, and Stars" trailer.

 

[MainJPW]

:ultisaac:

He’s in. I feel it in my bones.

>Sun and Moon

Bro, where's the Incineroar.

 

[Chrono.]

Did any of the Smash websites update at all yet?

Nothing yet.

Anybody want to update me on these leaks? I didn't know there were any.

Only two things have leaked so far:
- Yoshi Switch's real name (Crafting World or something)
- Sports Party (some shovelware game)

Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD was also probably gonna be in the Direct but SE just announced it themselves.

 

[Guynamednelson]

is such a ridiculous counterpick against ET, it's not even fair.

 

[Will]

haha 4020 blaze it am i right haha

No it's Geno.

No it's [safe generic pick #4]

 

[TheCJBrine]

>Sun and Moon

Bro, where's the Incineroar.

He crashes the party near the end.

Or maybe he's with Isaac at the beginning.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

At 22:45, Sakurai is seen sitting on a chair and a plant is shown behind him. Cacti are technically plants. And chairs come all in sorts of sizes.

Using that solid logic...

Popular characters Sabo-san and Kisshi from the hit Japanese kids show “Mitsuketa” or “I found it!” Is sure to be the next newcomers as a dual character like Ice Climbers or Duck Hunt!

 

[Iridium]

He’s in. I feel it in my bones.

I bet you Sakurai will add in Matthew as an Echo Fighter, like what Richter is to Simon, if he adds Isaac.

 

[Moon Monkey]

No it's Geno.

I always imagine Geno would be one of the last characters that we'll see revealed.

He seems like one of those grand finale reveals. Him and Banjo.

at least to me

 

[Chrono.]

Should be Felix instead tbh.

 

[Deleted member]

Not how it works. Certain employees of Ign, Kotaku, gamespot etc all have that information already. They know who exactly is getting revealed, probably even have the official character portrait too

I think after the rather huge Dead Cells IGN Controversy, the literal last thing anyone needs on their hands is to leak out a Smash newcomer.

How'd I do?!

You did very well here's your prize

Spoiler

 

[Shroob]

This. Matthew is basically in a Ninten situation. He looks ridiculously close to Isaac that I don't think people not well versed in Golden Sun can tell them apart(I can't).

 

[Michael the Spikester]

furniture just isn't enough as evidence for Skull Kid.

Ignoring the room Sakurai was in with the ladder, jungle plants and barrels that hinted towards K. Rool?

 

[MaestroDavros]

I just skipped forward about 17 pages because it seemed things were relatively boring, and apparently skipped a wonderful little chat about gender empowerment.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

That’s you. You missed a lot. A lot.

OMG where is that GIF from?! I've seen it a few times and it never fails to make me laugh!

 

[WaxPython]

Don't want incineroar. Much rather Blue with Arcanine, Rhyson, and Alakazam.

Or Sceptile, Gengar, Garchomp, Salamance, Dragonite, and/or Genescect.

They're just better designs imo than yet another fire type.

EDIT missed the gender debate.

Please keep politics out of Nintendo games thanks.

I'm a bit embarrassed knowing that I don't remember who Felix is. Can either of you remind me?

Edit: Nevermind. I just checked.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Plus the books that matched K. Rool's colorscheme.

 

[Alchadylan]

Yeah WHY ARE WE GETTING A MOBILE GAME PORT FOR CONSOLES

It's not even Switch exclusive too, everybody's getting it. What even is it?

Okay, so it's FFXV but it's downgraded to bootleg Bravely Default models?

not even the first one on the Switch. Noticed Dawn of Breakers on the eshop the other day, and there are probably more

 

[Shroob]

Ignoring the room Sakurai was in with the ladder, jungle plants and barrels that hinted towards K. Rool?

Can we agree that if Skull Kid somehow isn't revealed in the next Direct(I think he personally will), that chair theory was bogus?

I think Skull Kid's in, but the chair theory is silly.

 

[CJ Falcon]

I always imagine Geno would be one of the last characters that we'll see revealed.

at least to me

Well people said that about K. Rool but it didn't turn out that way.

 

[Chrono.]

Ignoring the room Sakurai was in with the ladder, jungle plants and barrels that hinted towards K. Rool?

We can't really say that was a hint yet, or at all.

 

[Deoxys911]

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Oh you definitely missed out, it was pretty sexy.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Another gender debate? Why is this such a prevalent thing?

 

[LetterO]

Reminder that Geno, Isaac, Incineroar, or anyone else don't have a guaruntee at being revealed next. There's nothing supporting or opposing anybody else being revealed next. This isn't "Geno's time to shine" or "Incineroar is definitely next". We cannot predict who will be revealed next. It's just as likely someone like Chorus Kids (big bias), Elma, or even goddamn Steve. We just have to wait and see.

 

[WallyPalmer]

Colored plate thing on second shelf: Spheal (Jigglypuff echo; it looks like a ball)

I like how you think

It's from Community. Watch Community.

Clearly Sakurai is hinting at himself as a fighter, otherwise, why would he appear during those segments?
