Of course there's people been "hurr hurr Min-Min got in, poor springy ****s hurr hurr, I was probably dropped as a kid so I attack people for minor stuff like this"

What's been the most toxic place to see it? Trolls aren't real fans.

i'm completely aware that fans shouldn't be generalized btw. i made a point to mention that there's min min fans in here who are absolutely lovely people.

and besides, i know very well what it's like to be generalized. for example, everytime someone brings up the earthquake thing with isaac, i feel like jumping out of a window. treat others how you want them to be treated and all that jazz

also

the world turned into bricks

ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, i got that

The earthquake thing with Isaac?
Not to be that guy, but could you give me a link talking about it or something?

Everyone: You can't just put in an ARMS character who's not on the original box art!

back in the base game days, the direct that revealed isabelle was delayed by one week due to a big earthquake in japan. isaac fans took this as a sign that isaac could have been revealed in the direct and that's why they delayed it, since isaac has earthquake powers. of course, it turned out to be a load of crap but it'd admittedly been taken out of context and dumbed down as to say that they thought "earthquake = ISAAC CONFIRMED?????" when it was more "what if isaac was the reason they delayed it because he has earthquake powers", which was still a stretch in retrospect.

it's since become one of the big laughing stock moments of ultimate spec and is to this day still used by people as ammunition to go "haha isaac fans bad amirite", which, as an isaac supporter myself, is annoying as all hell.

I wish Crash 4 was coming to Switch cause it looks so good.

I want to believe it could be a Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy and Spyro: Reginited Trilogy situation- Coming out at a later date.

I'm very iffy on on this, mostly on the don't see it happening side.

One hand we're getting Min Min very soon

Other hand we did have a massive gap between Byleth and Min Min.

True but it’s possible they just need the extra two weeks after E3 to wrap up production on what would have been shown there

[Wario Bros.]

To celebrate Crash Bandicoot 4, I plan to do a full playthrough of the N-Sane Trilogy.

And as an added bonus, I'm throwing in The Wrath of Cortex into the mix.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

I'm betting we'll get it soon. Don't think it will as a big of a gap between Byleth and Min-Min.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Alright, finished on an update to my current prediction list. Feel proud with how it looked, 3 1st-Parties & 3 3rd-Parties, each with their own styles of fighting and unique gamplay quirks:

1 - Min Min (...Obviously.)

2 - Toxtricity

3 - Ryu Hayabusa

4 - Arle

5 - Rex & Pyra

6 - Crash

Impressions?

Rex, I could definitely see happening. Crash and Hayabusa also have fair shots.

Arle is popular in Japan, but somehow I don't see her getting in.

Toxtricity has its merits so it could be the Pokemon, though other Pokemon have equally good shots.

 

[Z25]

I think so too. Sakurai and his team didn’t seem to be to terribly behind on development. In fact it looks like the only reason we didn’t get it sooner was either because IRL events delayed it, or Sakurai didn’t have the recording equipment till when he filmed it last month. Maybe both.

Regardless, with those seemingly being the only factors as to why he didn’t get to film it sooner, I’m leaning towards him probably having pretty smooth development with FP7 right now and could have even record the presentation at the same time as this one.

That’s just my personal speculation though.

 

[Deleted member]

Well, with today wrapped up, let's see what Pokemon will bring in two days. I doubt they'll be able to top Pokemon Snap 2, but I'm still pretty excited.

Just gimme dat Detective Pikachu for Switch and I'll be satisfied.

I have been putting it off forever, but I’m gonna start my actual predictions now. When I’m done I’m just gonna place it in my signature.

So then today's events were foreshadowed decades ago.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

When a new Smash fighter is announced, that usually means that lots of GabaLeth voice listings follow, so I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

 

[TheMightyP]

So wait, does that mean that the "main character/mascot" has to get in first rule is dead?

Because, while yes you can argue that any ARMS character is the main character, Springman was undoubtedly the poster boy.

Spring Man's even the character that gets emphasized the most in the final smash when everyone gets some hits in

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Crash 4 needs to have as many levels as the N. Sane Trilogy games combined

 

[LethalHero]

DUDES I FINALLY FINISHED FULL METAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD AND THAT MEANS I HAVE FINISHED BOTH SERIES!

Sakurai was having fun:

bruh my rabbit is weird, i think she likes the taste of her nerve pain medicane and that ****nis ANCHOVIE flavors. wtf is wrong with this girl

 

[Shroob]

Mates

I can't believe that Spring Man is dead

Yes, this is the Spring Man that Sakurai was mentioning in his little joke.


Yes, it's literally a man-sized spring with limbs.


And yes, it works for wrestler satan.


Any questions?

He got Chrom'd two years in advance.

FNAF is getting weird.

I'm really loving these 3rd party/indie mii costumes we keep getting recently lol, I wonder who the next one will be

FMA Brotherhood is my favorite show of all time. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'll give my update on my Season 2 Fighters Pass Predictions:

• Min-Min - Confirmed as the ARMS rep and first character to be unveiled.
• Ryu Hayabusa - If there any other third party companies who have yet to be represented in Smash, I'd say someone from Koei Tecmo with Ryu Hayabusa as my pick.
• Xenoblade Rep - I did have a number of candidates in mind which ranges from the likes of Elma, Lora and Jin, Melia and Rex and Pyra. Personally, I predict Rex paired up with Pyra are the most likely candidates if Nintendo are opting for another playable Xenoblade character.
• Another Third Party - I would possibly say another character representing either from Bandai Namco or Square Enix.
• Pokemon Rep - This one I'm somewhat a little bit unsure for some reason, but we will find out whether there is another Pokemon rep in the Fighters Pass.
• Another Third Party - Whilst I am not sure about the chances of this, but I would love to see another third party character that has yet to be represented in Smash.

Meanwhile on the official Smash Japan website:

[Dark Bagel]

Why does Crash look so. Damn. GOOD in the new It's About Time Trailer?

Why does Min Min look ridiculously adorable in her noodle shop uniform?

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Hey guys, I’m cool like Sakurai and have two televisions sets! One is for watching tv and netflix. The other is a big paperweight cause it died after ten years of use and I bought it when I first moved to Japan. Neither are used for gaming cause gaming with two kids is practically impossible!

Sakurai, can I join the development team as I too am part of the “two tv team”?

 

[Shroob]

I love how the dude who made a lot of people get cautious and think "The pass will mainly be 1st parties" actually just used that as a coded message to say Min Min.


Classic leakers.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

In other news, the MOBA I play is getting Avatar characters as skins.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Ya know, a part of me is actually glad they waited this long to reveal the character.

When a character is just teased or namedropped, I usually don't get that excited yet. But when the trailer hits I get hyped. The problem with too much hype, however, is that it makes waiting unbearable since it's harder for me to distract myself from it.

This is going to be a long week.

I really do hope the next character comes sooner than this though. 6 months between Byleth and Min Min was a bit rough.

Wait, what? And that game is apparently on Switch to?

Oh man, I'm going to have to give it a try. I've tried playing LoL in the past and it never clicked with me, but hey, maybe this MOBA will be different.

 

[Deleted member]

I still hope we get the real Spring Man.
