Yep, looks like for once I'm actually the only sane one around here...

Wait a minute...

If everyone's insane and I'm the only sane one around, then that means no one is insane, and that means...

I'm still insane by default!

I'm also sane though.

Spoiler

Although since I am a high-functioning autist, that really says how neurotic most normal people around me tend to be.

 

[Drakonix]

Makes me wonder. Does anyone think that they had to redo a few bits in this direct? Not like we would be able to tell unless some of the leaked information doesn't show. Just a thought.

 

[Michele]

Dude, just stop. You’ve been on this thing for days now. If this is a joke, it’s not funny anymore nor is it cute.

Ow...Your words hurts me a bit, Mr. Kirby. What I was saying is not a joke. It's not a joke, really. He was asking if we had a direct, and I said no, but I also explained to him the phase. Because Nintendo is very silent now, then it's most likely that we are in the second phase.

I know that Nintendo don't tweet this much on weekends. But if they wanted to tweet, they would have had to do it at 15:00 (which is my timezone).

 

[Kaeltor]

Man this drought is starting to remind me of the the post-E3, Pre-8.8.Direct era.

How would people react if Smash wasn't even featured in the next direct?

 

[osby]

- 10/10. One of my favorites. The way it is positioned makes it look cool, and that's how DS should be.
- 10/10. Love the stance. Sword and shield well positioned and overall demonstrates who he is well.
- 9/10. Looks like he got out of bed, but the pose fits him.
- 10/10. The way the sword and Ike are positioned makes this render a good one.
- 9/10. I like that they are all doing something - attacking as a team. One fault is that it makes the individual Pokemon's renders look out of place.
- 10/10. This is @Diddy Kong. Fun and sporty.
- 8/10. The addition of the snake is perplexing and it makes the stance jarring.
-10/10. Not much of a Sonic guy but this one captures the cocky attitude he has whilst showing some action.
- 10/10. Simple, but effective.
- 7/10. It does show you that Olimar uses Pikmin, but it's doesn't really work as a render.
- 8/10. It's alright, but the Smash 4 render is better. I think the pose there shows his character more.
- 10/10. It shows ROB as a sentient being rather than a mere robot like Smash 4 and especially Brawl.
- 9/10. Looks too angry for Toon Link but I dig it. The way the sword is positioned makes the render tick for me.
- 9/10. Beastly, but the position of his head makes it look small kind of?
- 10/10. His Smash 4 one was good, this one improves it. The addition of the net and the stance are definite improvements.
- 10/10. The pose and the addition of him doing an action makes it another improvement on the previous one.
- 9/10. Definitely in character and looks more natural than Smash 4's which was a bit awkward.
- 10/10. Luma and Rosalina are positioned much better here than in Sm4sh. It shows more that they are a team.
- 10/10. A fan of the boxing stance he has. The Smash 4 render was jarring a bit.
- 10/10. Didn't re-use the Pokemon artwork. Shows more life the way he is now.
- 10/10. They show more life.
- 10/10. Wow she's actually doing something in the render. The way everything is angled is perfect.
- 10/10. Another Smash 4 newcomer with a better render. Like the rest, they simply show more life.
:ultrobin- 10/10. This one actually makes him look like a fighter rather than a librarian.
- 10/10. One of my favs. The way he positions the Monado and his stance are baller.
- 9/10. Showcases his personality better, but I find the render somewhat awkward due to him jumping out of the kart ever so slightly.
- 6/10. Not a fan of this one. The stance is awkward and the angle is off-putting with the rest of the cast. Smash 4's was much better.
- 10/10. This one shows he means business better than the previous installment. Everything about it is perfect.
- 10/10. Better than Sm4sh's for the pose alone. Love that the sword is more in focus with Cloud.
- 9/10. Slightly better than Smash 4's, but roughly the same quality really. Female Corrin's was nerfed hard, though.
- 10/10. The direction for this one is much better. Shows the sass AND class of Bayonetta exceptionally well.
- 9/10. It's what you'd expect from the Inklings.
- 10/10. I enjoy how menacing he looks. The mouth is key for this render.
- 9/10. Not much to say here.
- 10/10. The pose is slightly better than Simon's for me.
- 9/10. The details on his scales pop here and I enjoy sassy Rool, but he's missing a goofy element.

Alright that's done jeeeeez. Has a Direct been confirmed since lol.

Just adding: Bayo in her first outfit looksa lot better imo.

 

[Michele]

Man this drought is starting to remind me of the the post-E3, Pre-8.8.Direct era.

How would people react if Smash wasn't even featured in the next direct?

I would still be fine, just relax and wait for the next Direct--

Wait. Nintendo announced a tweet again. Seems like I'm back to square one.

 

[MrSmashFour]

Man this drought is starting to remind me of the the post-E3, Pre-8.8.Direct era.

Very poorly after all the hype! But, we know Smash is in it now - the fact the blog didn't update the evening the Direct was meant to happen is a big give-away that they were going to post a newcomer profile and had to pull it.

 

[WallyPalmer]

NoA tweeted again. It’s a “Nintendo Minute” at PAX. Nothing Smash related.

 

[Deleted member]

"drought"
I think we are getting enough already. Like, we just got five great characters a month ago.
Also, this direct has a chance of Smash.

You guys need to learn more patience.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Probably like this:

In my case, I would just give up visiting Smashboards for a bit and just focus on my game backlog,

It'd be a bit disappointing, but nothing that will kill my spirits. I'll wait patiently till the next info drop

 

[Nonno Umby]

About Hayter not being called as of early August (since that was the time of that interview), it might just be for avoiding spoilers and leaks. Remember, Sakurai is doing his best to avoid it (and even with Smash For he took some measurements, like making the Announcer announce an immense amount of characters, even some random ones like Ezio from Assassins Creed so that not even him would know the whole roster).

And it doesn't help that back in Brawl Hayter DID leak that Jigglypuff was in the game.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Wait. Nintendo announced a tweet again. Seems like I'm back to square one.

Eh

You never made it past square one to begin with

 

[Pakky]

Spoiler: So about this one?

Does he not pick up the tab and forces his date to pay?

 

[T-Hell]

How would people react if Smash wasn't even featured in the next direct?

That will not happen because Smash WILL be featured in the Direct with a newcomer reveal trailer at the very least. But even if that doesn't happen (it will), I wouldn't mind too much because I just want the Direct and the juicy games announcement and info at this point.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Makes me wonder. Does anyone think that they had to redo a few bits in this direct? Not like we would be able to tell unless some of the leaked information doesn't show. Just a thought.

Anything that releases "today" would have had to had their dates changed.

I didn't mean to sound dramatic or impatient. What I meant by "drought" was a period of time where no new characters are announced. I think the thirst for info has been exacerbated ever since the direct was announced/postponed.

Eh

You never made it past square one to begin with

Woah dude, relax!

 

[MSmariosonic]

I know Lords of Shadows isn't that popular with the CV fanbase but i'm kind of surprised there isn't at least one song from the reboots of the 30+ featured songs.

 

[Michele]

I know Lords of Shadows isn't that popular with the CV fanbase but i'm kind of surprised there isn't at least one song from the reboots of the 30+ featured songs.

To be fair, Lords of Shadow sucked so much. It strayed so much from original CV.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Ok, here’s a game:

For the characters who still have JP VAs in English versions, what ENG VAs would you give them?

Ex: etc

Cloud - just bring Steve Burton back please I’m begging you
Captain Falcon - Crispin Freeman. Regal/Albel/Kyon, nuff said.

I do believe Roy is dubbed at last though. And while her VA is already English, I want ZSS to have a new VO instead of recycling her Brawl clips over and over but that’s probably not gonna happen

As for codecs...it’s understandable. Colonel Roy Campbell’s character was retired when his Japanese VO died, and codecs wouldn’t be the same without the Colonel...

 

[MSmariosonic]

To be fair, Lords of Shadow sucked so much. It strayed so much from original CV.

Sonic 06 sucked even harder but we still got that one sick track called "his world".

I just thought they were going all out with the Castlevania representation.

Not that i'm complaining since they've got 'Lost Painting' and 'Dracula's Castle' from SOTN.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

I know Lords of Shadows isn't that popular with the CV fanbase but i'm kind of surprised there isn't at least one song from the reboots of the 30+ featured songs.

Kojima Productions probably owned that sublicense, even though they otherwise had nothing to do with those games.

But then again Zone of the Enders 2 got a standalone PS4 release, so who really knows?

 

[Heracr055]

Man this drought is starting to remind me of the the post-E3, Pre-8.8.Direct era.

How would people react if Smash wasn't even featured in the next direct?

I would laugh and feast on the salt here.

 

[Pakky]

Here's a dumb game to pass the time...

Who eats where? Two or more can go to one place.

Your choices are


Burger King/Mcdonalds:

Taco Bell:

Panda Express:

Starbucks:

Popeyes:

Olive Garden:

 

[LetterO]

Makes me wonder. Does anyone think that they had to redo a few bits in this direct? Not like we would be able to tell unless some of the leaked information doesn't show. Just a thought.

If Isaac was the one being revealed in the Direct, I think that definitely won't be the case now.

 

[Kaeltor]

I would laugh and feast on the salt here.

My approach has been to always lower my expectations going into a direct, that way I can keep myself grounded. Admittedly, I'm not always successful in lowering my expectations though ^_^

 

[Michael the Spikester]

People still clamoring for Scorpion and Master Chief?

Whelp may as well get Kratos in there as well.

Seriously these guys have no chance of getting in to begin with why do people even request them?

 

[Michele]

Eh

You never made it past square one to begin with

Ow, your words kind of stings, and the likes you got stung me more...

 

[Graizen]

A new leak for Wadle Dee and Chibi-Robo

That's a good one!

 

[Mc.Rad]

*and PC Rerelease.

Anyways who here still is visinly waiting for a new Direct news

 

[Opossum]

Come to think of it, how would everyone react to Henry Fleming being a newcomer, hypothetically?

 

[Chandeelure]

A new leak for Wadle Dee and Chibi-Robo

http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/430934447

What a coincidence that Mimikyu is in the same stage where it was revealed (Dracula's Castle).

 

[?????????????]

A new leak for Wadle Dee and Chibi-Robo

http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/430934447

The first reason I'm not inclined to believe this one yet is because it's on the Castlevania stage; that was the stage where Mimikyu was shown off, so it's easier to edit new things in without cropping Mimikyu out.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

A new leak for Wadle Dee and Chibi-Robo

http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/430934447

Well at least the Kirby logo IS tilted properly this time and the name “Waddle Dee” is to be expected

But yeah, Mimikyu looks like it’s playable here when in reality it’s...not

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I'm actually kinda surprised this no new Codecs things has JUST NOW become relevant. We in the Snake Thread knew about that interview a long time ago. What made it become so relevant all of a sudden?

Well atleast y’all might’ve tried to spare us from such pain

Really hope the Star Fox comms make a return., but since all the Star Fox content in Smash Ultimate is based off Star Fox Zero, including the stages, I'm not sure. They could either just bring back the old comms and call it a day, record new comms with the Star Fox Zero voice actors, or just give Star Fox the shaft again and cut the comms entirely. The latter wouldn't surprise me.

New comms would be very much appreciated. That way, the comms chatter matches the newly designed stages. Though I'd be happy as long as they return.

They haven’t cut the Fox/Falco comms before and they mustn’t start now

I know Lords of Shadows isn't that popular with the CV fanbase but i'm kind of surprised there isn't at least one song from the reboots of the 30+ featured songs.

It won’t affect me as long as all their songs in Smash are hot

I do believe Roy is dubbed at last though. And while her VA is already English, I want ZSS to have a new VO instead of recycling her Brawl clips over and over but that’s probably not gonna happen

As for codecs...it’s understandable. Colonel Roy Campbell’s character was retired when his Japanese VO died, and codecs wouldn’t be the same without the Colonel...

1. Roy will definitely be speaking English...even if that means they reuse his Heroes quotes instead of recording new ones
2. Samus should be voiced by Jennifer Hale if she were to get new lines...I want her as Samus for a full game one day
3. They could reuse all of Colonel’s old Brawl lines while other characters can get Otacon/Mei Ling/Pit/Palutena/Slippy for the others
4. Cloud will never speak more than one language in Sash unless Square does something
5. Shadow needs to reference his “disgusting black creatures” quote in Smash...minus the black of course

 

[MSmariosonic]

Ow, your words kind of stings, and the likes you got stung me more...

Chillax

Didn't mean it as an insult.

I'm just saying you keep setting yourself (and perhaps others) up for disappointment by coming up with all these theories.

 

[?????????????]

Come to think of it, how would everyone react to Henry Fleming being a newcomer, hypothetically?

Honestly, I'd be open to it. Would be silly and kind of fun, although a part of me feels there's still generally bigger/more popular miscellaneous franchise characters we should see first.

Also, while he's not the main character, I personally prefer Abraham Lincoln

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Well, here's a surefire way of possibly finding out the next Direct date: check Nintendo Life daily. Yes, it's tedious to do so, but at least it's mostly accurate.

 

[T-Hell]

People still clamoring for Scorpion and Master Chief?

Whelp may as well get Kratos in there as well.

Seriously these guys have no chance of getting in to begin with why do people even request them?

We have seriously reached a point where Smash fans would even ask for their favorite bedroom's chair to be a playable character. I get wanting your favorite characters, but be reasonable. I want Chibi-Robo and I'm well aware I would be lucky if he gets the AT role, and he is from Nintendo, let alone some out of the world third's some people ask for because why not I guess.
