Same here. Assuming every single move takes 2 minutes to cover, that's still only around 30-ish minutes. So, something big is coming. but what, exactly?

World of Light 2: Return of Galeem

 

[Wyoming]

I'm still suspicious.

But I don't know if I want to risk losing sleep over a big ol' heap of nothing.

Nothing to be suspicious about. They're being clear and honest. It is a video about patch 6.0.0 and just that.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Watch they're lying and trying to have us keep our expectations low to surprise us.

I know I'm grasping...

World of Light 2: Return of Galeem

You forgot Electric Boogaloo

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Not sure I'll be able to tune in for the direct, but we'll see. I'm not gonna stress it.

Imagine if it the reveal ends up being someone I actually really want playable like Spyro or Tetra lawl

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Then it amounts to nothing to me

 

[Shroob]

Keeping my expectations middle ground ish.


The timing of when it'll go live is absolute hell, but I'll do my damndest to tune in.

Right. It’s only about patch 6 and it’s going to talk about terry, one stage, and a handful of Mii costumes.

I’m sorry for being rude. But that is horse ****. They’re LYING. They have to be. Otherwise the stream wouldn’t be as long as it is.

We have no idea what's in store.

Sakurai seems to have a fight pad with him. He could be playing some Fatal Fury, and we might get an online mode for an existing mode to show.

 

[BlondeLombax]

I'll be out like a light once the presentation starts. Luckily, I can check out a recap of it before my drawing class, it shouldn't be too much to process, right? Riiiiiight?

 

[Icedragonadam]

Remember last year's presentation? They spent most of the time dragging on the Spirits mode and things no one cares about like the options menu.

 

[Shroob]

I mean, depending on how complex Terry is, I could see it.


But I'd be lying if I said I 100% believed them.


On the fence about this for once.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I am thinking squad strike gets an online mode added here.

That would make me come back to Smash for a while

They could very easily pad it out with a whole bunch of raw footage of Sakurai and other staff members playing Smash matches. We won’t know until it happens, but it’s very, very possible. They haven’t done that before, as there’s usually just one raw footage match, but who knows?

 

[DerpingPikachu]

I don’t wanna wait another month for a real announcement

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I don’t wanna wait another month for a real announcement

No make that 2 or three months. Either January or February.

Remember the VGA was last minute doubt they'd do that again.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

No. Clearly he's gonna detail every single patch note as well and go into excruciating detail with every single frame of movement from Terry and every Mii Costume will take up a minute or so and are all special like Sans.

Yes, I'm absolutely ecstatic that by tuning in, this takes up 3 quarters of an hour of my morning.

 

[Wyoming]

...what if the fight pad is a new controller they will announce?

 

[Shroob]

Well, the mii fighters will be spicy at least if they're not all just SNK ones.

 

[PLATINUM7]

...what if the fight pad is a new controller they will announce?

Then I'm shilling out more money for a Smash controller.

 

[NabiscoFelt]

Why is your morning only 1 hour long?

 

[Shroob]

No make that 2 or three months. Either January or February.

Considering how they've promoted every character several months before they came out this cycle, I HIGHLY doubt we're getting any random shadowdrops.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Well I'm gonna go to sleep after it if I watched it but I fixed it now lol

 

[nessdeltarune00]

Not to get all "conspiracy" on you, but remember when Sakurai said "Fighter" for E3? Then we got Hero AND Banjo?

I don't think we'll get information on the next fighter, but I think there's a chance it ends with the reveal of the fighter, if that makes sense.

Anyway, we'll get some disconfirmations.

I want to believe you, but the tweet clearly said “announcements” as its choice of words

So it looks like we have to wait until the VGAs, I guess

 

[Wyoming]

I got it...they are lying so Phoenix objects at the end

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

we still dont know what that little present menus is

 

[TheMightyP]

Chances are, a lot of QoL improvements were added into the game, and maybe Sakurai wants to showcase that as well?

Or maybe he's gonna showcase all the spirits. Again.

 

[Shroob]

we still dont know what that little present menus is

Present menu?
You mean the one that's always grayed out in game?

 

[SneakyLink]

we still dont know what that little present menus is

That's where you receive gifts if you don't claim them immediately.

I have it active in my game due to the Tockles spirit.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Was there an announcement at the VGAs last year? Was it Joker?

 

[SneakyLink]

Yes, but he was unplanned to be at the Game Awards.

 

[BlueMonk]

regardless of whether he's announced on wednesday, doomguy is totally still in. I have full belief in that leak rn

 

[SmashingXan2]

I dont care all that much about the direct, so I'll be back probably afterwards, or at least not be on for too long until after the direct

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Why would they though? Why not just make a shorter presentation if they don’t have much to say. They didn’t HAVE to make it 45 minutes long. They only would if they had enough material to fill it.

It is so easy for them to lie about this too. Say that fans shouldn’t be expecting much and it lowers their expectations and then BAM huge surprise when they actually tell the truth. It’s such a shallow and obvious marketing tactic.

 

[Shroob]

Galaxy brain of never happening


The presentation will only cover 6.0 news because fighter 4 and 5 are in 6.0



Poggers

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Was there an announcement at the VGAs last year? Was it Joker?

Yes but that wasn't originally planned to happen. They decided on that at the last minute which is why I feel we won't get anyone at the VGA.

例によって、台本ナシの出たとこ勝負です。Nintendo Directなどより幾分ゆるい放送ですので、ご容赦を。

Maybe these tweets from Sakurai explain this? I can't translate but maybe someone can...

 

[MBRedboy31]

Unlikely thing, but, what if they revealed a mobile tie-in game for Ultimate? Gotta attract that mobile crowd, too...

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Well, if it's the VGAs then it's definitely someone big. Expect Doomguy but also any other gaming icon.

 

[Deleted member]

If you can't tell, I have some, *ahem* interesting tastes in design.

Most of the designs are fine, it's just most of em SCREAM overdesign to me(mainly the

Spoiler

Legendary "unarmored" forms

)

Guess that explains why you like the

Spoiler

Penguin. That thing is ridiculously simple in its design. Just a penguin with a big ole block of Ice around its head. One of my least favorite ever...and there's a thousand of them now so he's pretty low for me lol.

I can get the taste for simplicity though; sometimes less is more.
