[KneeOfJustice99]

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

Yes, see above.

 

[LetterO]

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

Cool. I guess I’ll believe her since she DID predict Mother 3, after all.

 

[Xaranid]

People seem to have stopped discussing the Grinch leak entirely, was it proven to be false? Or is it just a moot point now that the direct is so close? Just making sure I didn't miss anything major.

 

[SmileyLeet]

The Direct is gonna land like this.

Thanks god the direct will wipe off sooooo many fake leaks

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

Yes, see above.

Sorry, can't type fast enough. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OSFIBuaHj0

 

[IntelliHeath1]

Less than 24 hours to go for the Direct! :D

 

[Amiibo Doctor]

It's a moot point thanks to the immediacy of the Direct.
We all know it's not real, anyway. Shrek's not in.

A direct was announced so people stopped being so concerned about it.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Anybody seen these Halloween-themed mods?

No matter what is said, it cannot be denied. This game is the only reason we were created as a species.

Whatever happens tomorrow The Grinch will be my number 1 requested character until the end of time.

 

[ScottyWK]

Someone works closely with media/PR on a daily basis here. The only reason ACP-PLV wouldn’t put out a statement on the leak:

1) They have contacted Nintendo about it and N suggested that they just stay quiet and let time run its course (happens a lot).

Or

2) They’re just really really bad at PR. If your brand is based off working discretely with high end companies on keeping a lid on things while producing their product, your PR folks are paid to do everything they can to protect that, which would include “These rumors are 100%, unequivocally false.” Or something like that.

I personally don’t see another reason why they wouldn’t. It’s bad for business if your brand is floating around as one who can’t scare employees to honoring an NDA.

Its alive

At long last they finally realized we are just hitting walls with both sides evidence

So they are waiting for the direct to confirm or bust the leak

Normal means Luigi is immune to Ghost.

 

[Deleted member]

Brace yourselves for the third and (thankfully) final assist trophy massacre.
I'm guessing Shantae, Chibi-Robo, Dixie, and Jibanyan as Assists and Zeraora and Gengar as Poke Ball Pokemon. (I'm probably gonna be SO wrong...)

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

Im ready for heartbreak and disappointment tomorrow.

Cloud would be Steel-Flying.
Because his name is Cloud.

 

[Deleted member]

Something to make the wait easier.

 

[G-Guy]

tomorrow will be painful to get through. direct starts at 3:00 pm where I live, but I gotta work until pretty much 10:00 pm...oof

 

[ErenJager]

24 hours until Judgment Day, boys.

I'm hyped.

Totally pumped.

I need to know how these leaks live or die.
Heavily anticipating an assist trophy massacre mid way.

 

[KMDP]

Thanks, even though it is the UK channel, but what difference does it make, anyway?

I mentioned this on the previous page, but...

The US Direct will have Sakurai dubbed over with a voice actor, while the UK Direct will have Sakurai subtitled with no dubbing.

That's the sole difference between the US and UK Directs.
(Funnily enough, it's actually the difference between the US and UK versions of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai as well, for a fun fact.)

 

[Fenriraga]

It's alive, it's moreso the contradictions brought up by multiple insiders, particularly credible ones, that kind of have people holding their tongues on it until tomorrow.

Not dead by any means, just... waiting.

Looks like I will wait for the US version, then. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Artorias]

Ok so let me get this right, insiders want me to believe there's "no big third party announcements tomorrow"
But at the same time they want me to believe we are getting Ken, from the biggest fighting game franchise, also Shadow from Sonic, an arguably huge franchise, a Square Enix new character, which would be huge, and also Minecraft content, which would also be huge.
Adds up pretty well

Sakurai's voice in japanese is a gift.

Dark Samus would likely be Steel, Poison considering she's made of Phazon which is a highly radioactive/corrosive/poisonous substance.

I feel like I should be watching the UK version but I've kind of got accustomed to Sakurai's US dub.

Verge said Isaac is an assist? Ooof, a lot of people are gonna be mad if that’s true.

 

[Deleted member]

Isaac is in our hearts.

 

[Senselessbreak]

Im ready for heartbreak and disappointment tomorrow.

Ive been a firm teamfake since the analysis showed huge red flags and massive holes in the back story were found. Keeping expectations low is much healthier because anything beyond Kencineroar is a bonus.

 

[Untouch]

Hot Take Of The Hour
If a Dragon Quest character is announced tomorrow, they'll also formally announce that Dragon Quest Builders 2 is coming to the west at the start of the treehouse.
