Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

right because they won't spoil thing in one version of the box but they will on another, keep dreaming guys, let the box theory die already lmao. Good night, it certainly is one.
Your logic train here is also completely idiotic.


THIS box goes on sale November 2/3rd, and the final Direct is rumored to be on the 8th, almost a week later.


THE box doesn't launch until December 7th, the game's launch.




Gee, makes ya think why a box that is coming out BEFORE the final direct wouldn't have unrevealed characters, while the one coming out a month after the last DIrect would.

This box releases on the second of November.
The box everyone is scrutinizing releases on the day the game releases.

It’s not a spoiler by that point.

*shrug* I don’t even care for the box theory myself (nor do most people) but this is ridiculous haha
So..

You know, if someone buys this, they will leak and reveal the REST of the newcomers?

Buckel up because this speculation is going to be messy!
this is just sad, dude.

Great, now a portion of my brain cells are dedicated to storing this within my mind.

>The guy who posted that works for demo units
>his twitter desp LITERALLY says Media relation


Where is the proof that this guy works for demo units? And also, I'm pretty sure that he DID played them which means that game chip is possible to be in one of their switches, that's why case looks empty.
Guy doesn't work at Nintendo. He works at Golin, which is a PR firm.

Still don't see the Nov. 2nd box coming out with all characters on it, especially if they have the rumored Direct on the 8th of November, or sometime after.
..........The Nov 2nd box is the one with the screenshot, of only 15 characters,


The one with all the characters isn't out until Dec 7th....

I really hope they don’t do a test smash. I feel like it wouldn’t be as fun as the Splatoon testfire.
Wait what? I'm not sure I follow your logic here. You'd rather we don't have a test smash because you don't think it'll not be as fun as the testfire? So do you not think it'd be fun for some reason? Would you rather not have a demo at all?

Some predictions for the final Smash Bros. Ultimate direct:

• On November 6th, it will be announced that there will be a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate focused direct on November 8th

• On November 8th at 6:00 PM EST, the direct airs

• The direct begins with a character trailer featuring Incineroar

• A bit later in the direct, Sakurai reveals Ken as an echo of Ryu. Sakurai then announces that all of the characters in the base game have been revealed

• Sakurai announces that there will be DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and reveals that Geno will be the first DLC character

• Spirits mode is revealed. It is an adventure mode of sorts and has a few short cutscenes (although it is nowhere near the scale of the Subspace Emmisary). You can unlock all of the fighters relatively easily in this mode

• Sakurai details many of the remaining modes that haven't been shown yet, including Stage Builder

• Sakurai reveals at least one new mode that almost nobody expected

• Sakurai doesn't reveal any new stages, and doesn't mention that all the stages have been shown off already because he assumes he already told us that (which he did)

• The remaining assist trophies, pokeball Pokemon, and items are revealed

• The direct ends with a montage of all the fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

• People on Smashboards fall into two vaguely defined groups (which aren't necessarily mutually exclusive): those who were expecting more characters and stages and are disappointed with the direct, and those who weren't expecting much and are happy with spirits mode

• A meltdown occurs on Smashboards and other Gaming message boards on the internet

• Within a week the meltdown is mostly over, and people start seriously speculating about DLC

Anyone else care to share their predictions?

Are there people here that seriously think Ken and Incineroar are the only two newcomers left and we'll end with 69 uniques?

You know how the President pardons a turkey every year? Get the president to specifically edict an execution order for that abomination
The Twerky takes the cake, but Miitopia has plenty of weird enemies.

Pretty sure this is the closest we'll get to a spiritual successor to EarthBound and its weird enemies.

WHATever! Got mixed up, so what's the big deal? I thought the Box theory had to do with the November 2nd box, since that is when the bundle first comes out.

Yeah.

There are actually a lot of people who think that.

...Yeah, why not?

Is two newcomers left such a big assumption with 44 days left till release?

The number of uniques doesn't matter in the slightest, because if you look at basically ALL the marketing for this game, they're going by "All characters+Echoes-2 for Pokemon Trainer."



Literally every piece of marketing for Ultimate I've seen so far has said "72 characters!", which is also what the About page says.



The unique number is pointless.

Two different bundles, box shapes, designs, etc. That’s what the big deal is. *shrug* not sure what the difficulty here is

You realize it'll go into shipping much before that though, right? Possibly even like a month in advance.
