Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[osby]

If we have only one direct left, I'm not sure if I can believe Grinch leak. Anyway, it's a good time for me, it's freaking forty minutes and it's not like I ever had big hopes placed in a ton of characters. A few days and we can finally talk about something substantial (or Intern-kun leaks stuff again).

 

[Syntherios]

THIS IS IT BOYS

 

[Cosmic77]

Hopefully this calms the thread down a bit in the days leading up to it

Calm the thread down?

Good one. You should be a comedian.

 

[sdpdude9]

I'm at work during the direct, but can watch as long as it isn't busy. Usually I end up having to pause and rewind, especially since it's unlikely I don't have to do something in a 40 minute time period. Here's to everybody's favorite getting confirmed!

 

[NineS]

**** the Grinch! I don't care about leaks at this point.
Who's getting in?
I'm willing to bargain with Nekoo for my character!

I'll even give bargain with persona fans for this one!

Whatever it takes! **** the Grinch! **** leaks! Let's get this over with!

 

[Chrollo.]

This is gonna be a long ass 48 hours

 

[Metal Shop X]

Not going to lie, I was kinda of sleepy before, but that news just AWAKENED MY MASTERS.

NOW I'M WOKE AS ****.

 

[Paperchampion23]

>Spawn Wave is in a 10-0 streak so far with the Direct announcement

PLEASE BE RIGHT ABOUT THE VGA ANNOUNCEMENT I REFUSE TO GIVE UP NOW

I want this leak to be real, insiders to be right about Incineroar but just DLC or announced later or something, and Spawnwave to be right about VGA/Sora hints.

Best of ****ing everything

 

[SebasSancy]

they are going to show all the initial roster! we're so close!!!!

 

[TheBlue10]

Aight folks, place your bets here.
Who will we see in the direct? Will it be a character from the Grinch leak, or will it be Incineroar? Maybe both?

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Well, the Grinch story arc ended abruptly.

That said, has Noipoi finished that anime poster yet? I'm not in the know.

 

[Ghirahilda]

Hi guys! What ia going o...
"DIRECT"

 

[alemerltoucanet]

A direct just got announced for Thursday...

I KNOW, I TYPED IT TOO SOON!! XDD


I'M FREAKING EXCITED!!

I think 40 minutes may actually be enough to fit the entire Grinch leak roster AND Spirits honestly!

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Just heard the news!! I'm so h y p e d !!!

 

[Heatswave]

I'm so hyped!
And it will also be at 3 P.M. here, so I just have to use some of my overtime to leave work early.

 

[Flynn__]

Oh boy here we go.
We are getting more than one character, that's for sure. 40 minutes is A LOT of time to talk and talk about different things, and they don't have that much to talk about. Oh god god I'm so nervous.

 

[Ring-a-Sheep]

Kept us waiting, huh?

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Castlevania stuff got 6:30 of time.
Excluding Alucard and Richter, it was about 5:30 minutes.
The two echos got about 3 minutes together, that'd be about 30 minutes just dedicated to character reveals.

Castlevania was a brand new 3rd party series with an incredibly rich history though, so obviously it got a ton of spotlight as it naturally had a lot of content in the game. I don't think we can spend 6 minutes talking about Mach Rider, Chorus Kids or even Geno, only Banjo and maybe Isaac can stretch it that far imo.

 

[FalconFire93]

Seeing as there’s a Smash Direct on Thursday, it’s time for me to be going to my college class now.

I really don’t wanna go though...

 

[Dayseh]

>Spawn Wave is in a 10-0 streak so far with the Direct announcement

PLEASE BE RIGHT ABOUT THE VGA ANNOUNCEMENT I REFUSE TO GIVE UP NOW

Did he say who is supposed to be announced at the VGAs or did he just say that there will be something at the VGAs?

 

[Kawaki&Boruto98]

guys will we be here while the direct is streaming? will we be fast enough to type here and watch?

 

[NineS]

Well, the Grinch story arc ended abruptly.

Noipoi is still hard at work with the anime poster. I think.
All I know is that, if it is done, it hasn't been posted yet.

 

[Amiibo Doctor]

So... anyone wanna do an over/under on how long it takes to get DLC?

 

[beans]

Wait, did a direct got announced

 

[Phyr]

Grinch anime season finale Nov 1st!!!

 

[joshoctober16]

wow way too fast , and 40 min is long... it also says FINAL smash bros direct before release.. meaning we will know all we want to know and all the non dlc characters are comming....

one question what was the longest smash only direct ever?

 

[Originality]

Well, the Grinch story arc ended abruptly.

I believe they said it'd be finished today if they're lucky and thursday at the latest

A few days and we can finally talk about something substantial (or Intern-kun leaks stuff again).

It's certainly possible. The last Direct had 5 characters (2 3 of which were echoes) in the August Direct, which was 10 minutes less. Possible for 2 more characters in that extra 10 minutes. Incineroar makes sense for a later Nintendo Direct. Only issue is that it *feels* like this means it's the final showcase of characters. We'll know in 2 days either way. *clings onto hope while tempering my expectations*

EDIT: Given the correction, it's more complicated. Though, if Mystic's right, two characters may be sharing a trailer.

 

[Nekoo]

Did he say who is supposed to be announced at the VGAs or did he just say that there will be something at the VGAs?

Low-key hint at Sora.

 

[Michele]

Me: *Refreshes Nintendo's page and sees nothing*
Me: Sigh... I guess we have to wait...
Me: *Accidentally clicks on refresh again instead of closing and sees the Direct*
Me: Is that a butterfly?

This was my reaction. What about yours?

 

[Deleted member]

Dagnabbit it didn't work

 

[Deleted member]

Medievil tomorrow and Smash the day after...

Too much hype.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

GOOOOEEMOOON. NOTHING BUT GOOOOEEEMMOOOON.
PLEASE

Hes as good as Layton being in smash


which is low.
cri

 

[kylexv]

See, times like these make me glad I don't have a class until 4:30pm on Thursdays

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Did he say who is supposed to be announced at the VGAs or did he just say that there will be something at the VGAs?

Supposedly, it's Sora

 

[AquaSol]

I was on the fence with the Grinch, leaning towards fake, but the fact that it’s 40 minutes makes me feel like it may be real. How could just Ken, Incineroar, and Spirits take up that much time?

 

[Cosmic77]

Aight folks, place your bets here.
Who will we see in the direct? Will it be a character from the Grinch leak, or will it be Incineroar? Maybe both?

$500 bucks we'll see Sakurai in this Direct.

 

[FalconFire93]

guys will we be here while the direct is streaming? will we be fast enough to type here and watch?

I’ll be here after it airs, whether if it will be rejoicing or pure chaos, I’m really hoping it’s not the later.

 

[IanTheGamer]

I swear if Waluigi was promoted to a full fighter via DLC, with how a lot of his fans acted, then Sakurai better promote other popular requests that were made into ATs into playable as well
