WHAT? What do you mean with this? Who will deconfirmed?

With new information, there's a chance we'll be seeing new assist trophies and stages, which could disconfirm characters from becoming playable.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

WHAT? What do you mean with this? Who will deconfirmed?

All the characters you've been rooting for

 

[Originality]

So lil' game:

Which 3 newcomers are you hoping to see in the Direct, from most likeliest to least?

Mine here:

- Bandanna Dee
- Dixie Kong
- Captain Toad

Isabelle
Amaterasu
Chibi-Robo

I don't really expect any of my most hoped for. I think Ashley and Isabelle are the most likely. There may be a decent chance for the Pokémon (I expect Decidueye/Mimikyu/Incineroar/Buzzwole) as well. Still...

- King K. Rool (would think they'd want to space his and Ridley's reveals though. He'll probably be coming around November)
- Skull Kid (I'd prefer Urbosa as a Zelda rep, but I'd love all four champs even more and that ain't happening. Still, Majora's cool)
- Dovahkiin (Please. Please. Let me dream. This would be the best thing ever.)

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

So, Have we all forgot about The Chibi Robo smash image nintendo sent out? Never heard anyone talk about it too much in speculation etc.

Wait, what? First I’ve ever heard of this

Have you guys seen any particular Nintendo/3rd party company twitter accounts retweeting the Direct announcement? Those RTs could hint what content to expect.

I hope Soraya Saga RTed it at least (for a potential new Xenoblade character)...

 

[N3ON]

Would be good riddance too, bit tired to see him apparently be some celeb in Smash-community these days despite just getting one lucky guess right.

Loz18's been more accurate so he deserves that attention more.

Yeah it's frustrating to see him extolled when the only thing he's doing is spilling info that many back channels heard beforehand. Literally every claim he's had other people heard first. I mean leakers gonna leak, but he's so amateurish and bigheaded, it's ugh. People really are looking past all his numerous gaffs.

And now that he's descending into teasing info, which is just the worst from real leakers, oh god.

 

[BlueMagician]

Since it's specifically a Smash Direct, we'll get a minimum of one fighter revealed. Although, now I wonder if it's alright at just one.

 

[PeridotGX]

So lil' game:

Mine here:

- Bandanna Dee

- Captain Toad

-Ashley (Very Likely)
-Bandana Dee (Could Happen)
- Decidueye (Wont get my hopes up)

Didn't Monolith Soft retweet the Robin/Lucina reveal trailer? I wouldn't look too hard into it.

You mean the Chibi on fire one? As hopeful as I'd like to be that didn't explicitly scream Smash to me

 

[Shroob]

Honestly, 1 new reveal and 1 echo per Direct sounds like a good number.


However, they're really pushing the 8 thing here.

Even the periods that separate the date are octagons.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Let's see. Fire Theme, Just like the Inkling reveal trailer, and if you look in the eye, you can kinda make out a smash logo, also like in the smash trailer. (You can see it better in the left eye.)

Maybe I'm just looking into it too much...

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Are you suggesting...8 reveals?

That would be a dream, but it’d also be an unprecedented first, and I honestly only see three max, four if we’re lucky

i want to believe

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Brace yourselves. Character deconfirmations will be coming in 3 days.

The prospect of character deconfirmations is so much more relaxing now that Ridley is in, the shadow in the Smash 4 Direct still gives me Samus levels of PTSD lol.

 

[Shroob]

Why octagons?

That seems like a very deliberate design choice.


I'm not saying Octoling confirmed, but they are seriously pushing the "8" thing here, down to the smallest detail.

Lol could you imagine if they just dropped 8 characters on us?

Us: "We can't expect many newcomers, so there are probably only five more in the whole game tops!"
Sakurai: "Lol nope"

Maybe there's another character that is affiliated heavily with number 8?

If we actually get 8 newcomers revealed in literally one direct, I'll scream. That's the amount I thought we'd get for base game oof

 

[Shroob]

Besides Agent 8(Octoling), I cannot think of anyone who'd be this associated with the number 8.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Tbh I worry that everyone predicting Ashley's Witchin' Wednesday because of WarioWare Gold are gonna be as disappointed as the people who predicted Monado Monday during Smash 4.

I am both of those people.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I expect half a newcomer with how little people I think we have left.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Lol could you imagine if they just dropped 8 characters on us?

That'd make the entire world cream their pants - especially if all of them would be in the same trailer.

I'd totally love to see it at least.

What do 8s and Octogons have to do with Octolings? Just curious

 

[ErenJager]

King K. Rool
Geno
Ashley
Viridi
Chrom (Echo)
Isabelle (Echo)

I have a feeling one or more of these will be revealed.

 

[Shroob]

What do 8s and Octogons have to do with Octolings? Just curious

In Splatoon 2, the playable Octoling character is called Agent 8.

And ya know.... Octopi have 8 legs.

 

[Idon]

Octodad confirmed for Smash.

 

[Originality]

What do 8s and Octogons have to do with Octolings? Just curious

8 is a number that appears all over the octo expansion, most notably with Agent 8, the Octoling you play as.

 

[PeridotGX]

Besides Agent 8(Octoling), I cannot think of anyone who'd be this associated with the number 8.

Plot Twist: Wartorle and Necrozma, Pokémon 008 and 800 in the Pokedex respectively, are both confirmed.

 

[TumblrFamous]

What do 8s and Octogons have to do with Octolings? Just curious

OCTOgons, OCTOlings. It'd be pretty funny.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Aw dangit. I'm gonna be in school while the directs happening.

 

[blazefan519]

What do 8s and Octogons have to do with Octolings? Just curious

Octo means 8 in latin. The whole entirety of the Octoexpansion had 8's loitered around in it, first starting with your character being called Agent 8 and other things that would be considered spoilers

 

[Mutsukki]

Man, and here I was watching Melee finals because I was actually hyped about Melee, then a short break came over so I alt-tabbed to something else. And then out of nowhere Scar saying "Wow! Thanks a lot for that Nintendo" I come back and half see a date. Goddamit. I wasn't expecting anything at EVO, not even a date. I'm gonna have to skip my first class on my first day back to school lmao

IF Verg is legit, the reason he could be talking about the Gen 7 Pokemon is because the direct is going to feature the reveal of it.

Or, since it's on 8/8/18, it COULD be the gen 8 pokemon instead

 

[Shroob]

Seriously though, they're putting a LOT of emphasis on the number 8 here, being on the 8th day, of the 8th month, in 2018, with ****ing octagon periods.

The number 8 is going to play a role in this Direct somehow.

 

[Enderwoman]

conspiracies around the number 8

yall are desperate huh

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Nvm I figured it out, ignore this post

I doubt they'd reveal a Gen 8 Pokemon for Smash before the games are even officially announced.

Boy am I excited for this 8 fact extravaganza!
