Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Online and Spirits together will be seventeen minutes of it. Extra modes, Trophies (if that's going to happen) and other small announcements will be around eight minutes. The rest of that time could definitely go to the final newcomers.

Yep

But on top of that

I have now Ben mentioned this

Sakurai said inklings and the Belmont are the only ones he's gonna talk about in directs

Tree house is handling those

 

[Pyra]

It's nice and all that we're getting maybe 80 characters, and a whole ton of modes, and probably even the contents of the Grinch leak as well. But none of that's really important. You know what's important?

Is Ultimate gonna have its own Black Hole glitch?

if it does i hope is has absolutely nothing to do with the Black Hole item

 

[Amiibo Doctor]

The irony would be thicker than a King Dedede rule 34 animation deep in the bowels of the dark web.

 

[Phyr]

I don't know how time works, All i know is the direct starts at 8 am for me and it is currently 7:47 as i post this

Woops, I just double checked and it's at 15:00 not 13:00 here.

So now is gonna be just 24 hours. Yahoo.

Why I can't sleep more

 

[KMDP]

Oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask.

What's the music used for Isabelle in her trailers? I'm not an Animal Crossing fan, so I have absolutely no idea what it is.

 

[Dixie Kong]

I noticed that Rare hasn’t tweeted about Banjo in the last couple of weeks. Is that normal? I don’t know how often they usually tweet Banjo throwbacks.

The New Leaf Tour Remix from Smash 4. Here it is!

 

[ThatOneAnon]

Go to Nintendo’s official YT channel if you don’t wanna get spoiled. Do NOT go to the Nintendo Direct page as the Treehouse stream will be there too and that could potentially spoil stuff.

It's really inconsistent. I noticed a huge surge around, I think, September. But it could just be dependent on how much fan art they get (though, I'd think that would increase around this time). Not sure, though I don't think it means anything.

 

[KMDP]

The New Leaf Tour Remix from Smash 4. Here it is!

Thank you kindly.

EDIT: Heh, one of the comments on that video...
"As a Ganondorf main, this is extremely upsetting. How am I supposed to concentrate with that distracting fishing rod being flung around?"

 

[Amiibo Doctor]

It's a remix of this but it's the one they used in Smash 4 I think. I'm listening to the Tortimer Medley from Smash 4 because I think it's a clip from that soundtrack.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

I can actually imagine this right now. Picture the scene;

Sakurai is on a really comfy chair in some dark room. He's not seen daylight since the August Direct. He's taking a break from programming right now, looking at this thread, and laughing.

 

[bountyhunta87]

So no music track today on the blog huh? Probably didn't want a leak again...

 

[Kuon]

Go to Nintendo’s official YT channel if you don’t wanna get spoiled. Do NOT go to the Nintendo Direct page as the Treehouse stream will be there too and that could potentially spoil stuff.

I'll have to keep that in mind for tomorrow! Nintendo's Official YouTube channel, got it. Thanks!

Inb4 that's the content of the actual Direct, and Sakurai is refreshing the page to watch the comments about him refreshing the page in real-time.

 

[Ura]

Does the official Nintendo Youtube channel even have the Direct livestream up? Last time I checked it was only on Twitch.

 

[ItsZant]

An easier way to avoid spoilers when watching after it airs is to just go to Twitch.tv/nintendo/videos and it will be the first one there. Going through their youtube channel you might get spoiled if they upload any videos after or something or are still streaming treehouse :/

It's this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwij_loYHkU

Yep, I've checked.

 

[GreenKirby]

24 hours remains, everyone!

This is obligatory:

No, you know what will be? Sakurai. For. Smash.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

This is it, only 24 hours left...

 

[Untouch]

Imram and Emily are saying that a BIG third party isn't getting revealed.
Maybe we're getting a small one.

 

[sdpdude9]

To think, by this time tomorrow we will have likely learned our next newcomer.

 

[TCT~Phantom]

I love how months ago, Verg stated that there would be disinformation and he would lay low.

Now with his cred on the line in the last FGC community that has not exiled him, he is on the offensive.

I imagine this will end the way it did for SC6, DBFZ, and the others.

Even if Grinch is fake, which I heavily doubt #TeamReal, I am confident Verg will go down tomorrow.

 

[CannonStreak]

Yep, I've checked.

Where is it? I can't seem to find it.

 

[Phyr]

A little offtopic but...

If there are any undertale fans in here, check their official twitter.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

The Direct is gonna land like this.

 

[Pyra]

We'll still have a month and 6 days left after the direct

Happy Halloween!

Im not trusting a word they say honestly

 

[Heracr055]

First few seconds: "Assist trophy showcase"

Real talk tho: I'd be sad if it really was just Ken and Incineroar

Edit: Does everyone have their bingo squares ready? I'll probably create one for this direct

 

[LetterO]

Any updates since Verg going “yea isaac is assist”?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Dawn of the Final Day
24 Hours remain

 

[Amiibo Doctor]

We'll still have a month and 6 days left after the direct

Happy Halloween!

True, but it'll be the best month and 6 days since the reveal. This Direct will either confirm or deny box theory and The Mean One leak, and from there we can just speculate and hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyype.

 

[CantGetRidOfTheRidley]

I can see the direct now

Sakurai saying "Before we go, we have one final announcement. Please, take a look:"

The screen fades to black, and the Smash cross appears and transitions, but it stays black. Then it slowly fades in, and you can hear sounds.

Spoiler

"Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us."

 

[Ura]

Yep, I've checked.

Can you link it then?

Slaughterthon right off the bat eh?

 

[Deleted member]

Emily Rodgers said there won't be any third party reveals at the direct, but considering Ken is all but officially revealed I'd take her word at face value.
Also only 24 hours left, we're in the end game now.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

Where is it? I can't seem to find it.

OK, that's weird. I commented on it.

 

[KMDP]

Here's the link to the Official Nintendo Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Nintendo
And the UK Nintendo Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEG4fd9DERXPzziMo3WgYMA
And Japanese Nintendo: https://www.youtube.com/user/NintendoJPofficial

Here's the link to the US Direct: https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/11-01-2018/
Here's the link to the UK Direct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OSFIBuaHj0
Here's the link to the JP Direct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQuFh_zgdsg

Enjoy.

EDIT: Why did I post all three, you might ask? For a very simple reason: The US Direct has Sakurai dubbed over, the UK Direct has Sakurai subtitled, and the JP Direct is the original Japanese footage with no translations.
