...there's no grudge match. A few people in the Hero forum are losing their minds over the release date, but that's it.

worlds will burn as masahiro sakurai reveals live on camera that hero's other spells are in fact a single separate RNG move

Not gonna lie tho.


I'm kinda.....not....expecting a new mode?


Like, I 'want' Home Run Contest, but I'm steeling myself to just get 22 minutes of Sakurai showing off every small detail.

the format of sakurai just showing off the game instead of a direct-style presentation doesn't really lend itself well to stuff like mii costumes or new modes

but we'll see

Bit late to the whole Hero getting a direct imminently news

Sounds cool, but I'll be on a train at the time and won't be able to watch it live

This goes to show that we can't really anticipate how the rest of the DLC will be covered though - surprise drop for Joker while Hero gets a pre-announced Sakurai talk through

I mean, we don't really know what the format of the video will look like. It's very possible it will still have standard Direct-like segments.

Extremely late, but what a great surprise! Finally the wait for Hero comes to a close. Crazy to think we've been talking about him for more than half a year. :081:

Also lol at Nintendo accidentally showing a little too much again.

So when Sakurai does a 22 minute demo, does that mean he's gonna do every single move in training mode, only at the end going back and remembering to do the tilts? or is it more pre-packaged?

Thinks I'm most looking forward to in order:
1. Finding out how tf the Hero specials roulette works
2. Who's getting skinned (or in Geno's case, chucked in the wood chipper) and turned into Mii costumes
3. Mysterious new/returning modes? OooooOOoooOooh

I guess it's still technically premature to say this, but I think July was pretty obvious after that promo video they released.

I'm thinking, if it's 22 minutes then chances are they'll show off things besides the hero, even if it's just Mii fighter costumes.

22 minutes of Sakurai waiting for The Hero's alts to appear on the character select screen

Hopefully this site adds emotes for the other heroes besides Luminary to use in our mains list sometime after the update drops.

And expect a lot of in-game screenshots on the 31st featuring both the DQ8 Hero and :ultsamus: from my part.

22 minutes is quite a lot of time, even Joker's presentation only took 15 minutes, and that was packed with exciting stuff. I get that the format will be different with this one, so the comparison might not mean much, but it's not like it's just going to be uncut footage of Sakurai messing around, the man is exceptional at stitching presentations together, and this is still being described as a video presentation even if it's not referred to as a Direct.

I get why people prefer to keep expectations low, but I'm pretty hopeful for tomorrow, Sakurai and co. have given me no reason to be anything but that. Obviously I'm not expecting anything on the character front other than Hero, but I'm very optimistic about getting a new mode, as well as one or two smaller surprises.

What matters for me the most is that I may finally have one of my pipe dream crossovers become real alongside these amazing songs to make things better:


Saying that I’m excited would not be enough to share how huge my hype is right now.
