Predictions for the total number of characters (unique+echo) revealed? No who, just the number.

I'm gonna say 6+

 

[Cosmic77]

...

I'm sorry. It's still a weird feeling for me knowing that I won't have to hold my breath in the minutes leading up to a Direct because I'm so nervous about Ridley and K. Rool.

77

 

[Wambo]

I'll laugh my ass off if the first thing we see Sakurai say is, "Hello everyone, welcome to the Direct. Here's every character. Enjoy."

 

[Porygon2]

At-work-small-inconspicuous-window-could-just-be-music-screw-this-place-anyway crew, reporting in.

 

[CrowGoesCaw]

I wonder how people would react if the direct opened with a character reveal of Bandana Waddle Dee.

:3

LETS GO MACH RIDER

 

[MainJPW]

It's the final hour, show me your hype face!

Hype face?

Visible face because I can’t get too riled up?

 

[joshoctober16]

I predict

• At least one of Geno/Banjo-Kazooie/Isaac
• Adventure Mode being better than Melee but worse than Brawl (for me)
• At least one new stage
• Multiple bosses
• Assist Trophy salt
• Echo salt
• Typical Smash fandom last reveal salt
• Generally salt

missread the assist trophy salt as
assault trophy salt.

i think we can all agre on one character that will be getting in no matter what....

Spoiler: the 99.99% character

its ken

 

[Z25]

Good morning everyone! It’s almost time now! Here’s to a goodndirect.

 

[Amiibo Doctor]

I'm gonna say this, and I'm gonna stick to it. Feel free to make fun of me if I'm wrong.
I'm sticking with the Grinch leak. I'm not saying it's the final roster, or that the Chadondorf leak is also true. I'm just believing what I saw in the picture of Eric's workspace. But I believe it.

Also Shrek.

 

[Cosmic77]

I'll laugh my *** off if the first thing we see Sakurai say is, "Hello everyone, welcome to the Direct. Here's every character. Enjoy."

Fanbase: "I wonder who the hidden character will be!? I mean, there has to be more than that, right!? RIGHT!?"

 

[RouffWestie]

I'm not even anxious in the slightest. I can physically feel the imminent Grinch leak confirmations. I've got no worries.

 

[ThatOneAnon]

I know people are saying "don't get too upset" if your character didn't get in. But I'm gonna be different.

Get upset. Your negative emotions don't make you a bad person and no one should try to suppress.

Be sad, be mad, rant on the forums, huff/puff, mourn, do whatever it takes to get it out of you. Obviously short of insulting/threatening/harming yourself and others.

We're all gonna buy the game anyway. The last thing anyone really needs is for someone online, who's essentially a faceless blob, tone policing your attitude. So I say vent.

Ah yes, get super upset so that the mods have an excuse to ban you
Good advice

 

[Noipoi]

Where the hell did that Bowser gif come from? It's lovely.

 

[Sigran101]

Man, whatever happens this is going to be hype all the way through! Unless the carnage is too bad in the assist trophy department. That part wouldn't be hype.

 

[Paperchampion23]

I must say, I'm impressed we don't definitively know the full roster by this point, of course we might with the Grinch leak, but there are still doubts about it. This close to release with Smash 4 the ESRB leak had already been out for quite a while and was looking irrefutably like the real deal, and while we didn't have picture evidence with Brawl, we were putting things together through what two leakers with very proven track records had told us.

That we're 20 minutes away and there still are so many questions is a job well done by Nintendo.

It's only because while the leak is credible, insiders outright deny it.

It's honestly been confusion and mass hysteria since then

 

[FreeFox]

The final countdown ! Don't forget to choose your team in this Smash Civil War ! Only one team will survive !

Team Real for me

OK. Since this is the final chance. I will take it. I choose to….
Smash!

 

[KMDP]

UK Direct: *begins the test card*
Me: Yesssss...

 

[Sehnsucht]

Gonna need everyone to get out once the video starts.

Can't afford to be distracted by all the handsome faces.

Thanks.

 

[IMainKingKRool]

actually, one character i'm hoping to see more than anything

come onnnn sandbag

 

[Chrollo.]

The last 15 minutes. This is a warning to all GAMERS; You’re not allowed in our area of chaos. Shadow-Bros rise up.

 

[Inawordyes]

Okay, now that I'm actually following the thread, suddenly time has slowed down and this last 10 minutes is going to go by painfully slow.

 

[King Zekrom]

Anybody else getting the urge to poop? I get it when I'm nervous.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Fanbase: "I wonder who the hidden character will be!? I mean, there has to be more than that, right!? RIGHT!?"

"There's going to be a surprise final FINAL direct right? RIGHT!?"

Heard enough of that after Smash 4's last Direct. Don't need to hear it again with Ultimate.

 

[Chandeelure]

I'm so hyped and nervous, holy ****!

AAAH!

 

[KMDP]

Where the hell did that Bowser gif come from? It's lovely.

Pretty sure it comes from Super Mario 3D World.

 

[CannonStreak]

Alright, not long before the Direct is on. Remember, keep your arms and legs inside the chair you sit on that's in front of the computer screen at all times. Exit rows are the door nearest you, and in the event of a super surprise, do not be afraid to scream. Enjoy the Direct!

 

[HotelSoapy!]

Nope, but it contradict with GI's claim, which also contradict with insider's claim. It claimed Incineroar and Banjo won't be in the game. It is a very wild claim for sure. Grinch still alive at least.

I'll be pretty disappointed with no Banjo.

 

[Starbound]

Mornin folks

Let's get it done

 

[Wambo]

*Low-quality jpg renders of all the newcomers slide across the screen for 10 seconds, rest of direct is black*

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Headed out till after the direct and when the Treehouse starts. Last minute preparations.

 

[Porygon2]

Gonna need everyone to get out once the video starts.

Can't afford to be distracted by all the handsome faces.

Thanks.

The sheen of hype-based sweat does tend to accentuate my best features.

 

[RyuhoFox]

Hope this was worth my lack of sleep.

 

[Noipoi]

Pretty sure it comes from Super Mario 3D World.

That's what I though too, but I don't remember that scene.

 

[Blargg888]

A bit late on this, but here's my roster maker thing:

It's time for Blargg888's Roster 2, Electric Boogaloo.

Somehow, I managed to get the look back to that of my Smash 4 roster, despite the massive changes to characters and colors.

The final countdown ! Don't forget to choose your team in this Smash Civil War ! Only one team will survive !

Team Real for me

I'm sorry everyone, I have no choice but to...
JOIN SMASH AGAIN!


CORRIN CHOOSES TO SMASH AGAIN!


Imagine if the newcomer we got today was just Corrin again.

 

[KMDP]

Alright, not long before the Direct is on. Remember, keep your arms and legs inside the chair you sit on that's in front of the computer screen. Exit rows are the door nearest you, and in the event of a super surprise, do not be afraid to scream. Enjoy the Direct!

Except the people watching the Direct in a public place.

You guys. You don't scream.

You bottle up the hype until it explodes.

 

[Bee Card]

LETS GO MACH RIDER

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

 

[perfectchaos83]

Oooooh Boy. This is the most excited I've been in a long while. No matter what happens, we already have an amazing roster

 

[CannonStreak]

Except the people watching the Direct in a public place.

You guys. You don't scream.

You bottle up the hype until it explodes.

Yeah, that too. Forgot about that somehow.
