The blog doesn't update and Nintendo UK is showing Alolan Exeggutor again. Definitely they planned to show a smash character(s) in the direct, right?

He can be on the money and sometimes he isn't. He says what he hears so always take it with a pinch of salt. But he can be quite reliable. But also will never outright leak it. He's good for followingIt was a guy called Stealth on Twitter.

Oh, I don't think it auto updates. But I do think the updates are scheduled ahead of time. Heck, even YouTube lets you do that, and YouTubers will frequently try to schedule them to times which get them the maximum number of views due to how YouTube's promotion algorithms work.So, I woke up to see we didn't get an update on the Smash Blog. I'm guessing we were definitely scheduled for some form of reveal then. Glad to see that the website didn't auto-update like some people in my discord seemed to think - It was definitely a worry.
Actually what would be cooler for that point is to put the villager tree at the seaside of tortimer island to better indicate the reference.- Isaac trying to use Move on one of Villager’s trees that’s too close to the edge. (Having to save the person who was turned into a tree)
Thank you! For whatever reason I couldn’t think of the name of the stage.Actually what would be cooler for that point is to put the villager tree at the seaside of tortimer island to better indicate the reference.
Not sure how they could show this off, but imply that Whispy Woods is Tret in a gameplay segment.Assuming Isaac is announced and how Sakurai likes to throw references to their game in the reveal, what are some of your ideas for them?
Here are some I came up with:
- Isaac fighting against Inkling on the Pirate Ship stage. (Kraken boss fight)
- Isaac running away from Squirtle as it’s using Waterfall. (Isaac freaking out in the waterfall at Mercury Lighthouse)
- Isaac trying to use Move on one of Villager’s trees that’s too close to the edge. (Having to save the person who was turned into a tree)
Depending on whatever Isaac’s taunts are they could make it look like he’s interacting with the tree or surprised to see it.Not sure how they could show this off, but imply that Whispy Woods is Tret in a gameplay segment.
Well you say that but...two games got revealed by third party. And a title revealNo news overnight? I admit I'm surprised.
Nintendo is keeping a much better lock on things than I anticipated, bar the Yoshi game, MegaMan 11's demo, and FF Pocket.
The title is the only thing that leaked though. Pretty good considering there are probably other secrets in that direct.Well you say that but...two games got revealed by third party. And a title reveal
Yoshi's Crafted World, Civilization VI and Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition
They are likely contracted to do so. It depends on the format of the NDA they had going. And how soon the Direct will be. After all if it is on Monday then they will keep it in. Thursday they might remove itThe title is the only thing that leaked though. Pretty good considering there are probably other secrets in that direct.
I feel like leaks are bound to start coming out though, I find it hard to imagine there aren't insiders who know things about the contents of the direct at this point.
Something I've been wondering. Do you think they'll keep the "reveals" for Civilization VI and Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition in the direct or will they remove them since they're not really reveals anymore? I assume they'd still like the publicity that comes with it.
I'd imagine they will keep the reveals in there. Editing the Direct seems like a lot of work, and as long as they release within 2-3 days it's still recent enoughThe title is the only thing that leaked though. Pretty good considering there are probably other secrets in that direct.

Pit wasn't the 5th he was actually upon debut. I think that honor goes to either Wario or Pokemon Trainer/Ike or Sonic. Little Mac was mind you. Ice Climbers? Well actually no-one knows as the Melee era has no dates of when they were revealed. I wish I knew as it meant I could do statistics on the rate of reveals for Melee.The reason I think Isaac was supposed to be this week is because I think he fills that ice climber/pit/littlemac (dormant franchise) role and those characters seem to be consistently revealed as the 5TH NEWCOMBER. Which makes sense as you would want to show hot new ips first then super high poll characters before going into your more obscure stuff. People think sakurai is acting different but really I think he’s still following his normal trends. If I’m right a new smaller ip rythem heaven and our mystery retro we be kept for last. This is a clutch moment though because I think we’re going to get either Isaac or geno in this position not both. And I’m worried because while I do think that dragon picture is a reference to golden sun sakurai doesn’t tease new characters as easy as that.
They'll probably keep the direct the same. Given Civ 6 doesn't come out until November on Switch anyway, it's not that big of an issue. same with FFXV PE.The title is the only thing that leaked though. Pretty good considering there are probably other secrets in that direct.

You can use this Melee reveal trailer to help you.Pit wasn't the 5th he was actually upon debut. I think that honor goes to either Wario or Pokemon Trainer/Ike or Sonic. Little Mac was mind you. Ice Climbers? Well actually no-one knows as the Melee era has no dates of when they were revealed. I wish I knew as it meant I could do statistics on the rate of reveals for Melee.
Heck, we're still in the same position we were a month ago. Four unique newcomers in with are last big reveals being Simon and K. Rool. Sakurai mentioned looking towards the ballot this roster iteration after those reveals and we're still waiting to see who's after K. Rool in the number slot.I don't think anything has changed for Isaac, we're still in the exact same position we were a week ago.
Anyway, I need to check up on some posts. I think I missed some songs for the Golden Sun X Smash Bros playlist.
Well Sakurai did tweet a picture of a Monado prop at some event he was attending. You can't get more blantant than that. Since in hindsight Shulk was revealed to be playable.The reason I think Isaac was supposed to be this week is because I think he fills that ice climber/pit/littlemac (dormant franchise) role and those characters seem to be consistently revealed as the 5th newcomber.

Yes we do, this game is numbered.Pit wasn't the 5th he was actually upon debut. I think that honor goes to either Wario or Pokemon Trainer/Ike or Sonic. Little Mac was mind you. Ice Climbers? Well actually no-one knows as the Melee era has no dates of when they were revealed. I wish I knew as it meant I could do statistics on the rate of reveals for Melee.
Jeez, some of us fans are ravenous. We got FIVE newcomers a month ago, and in twenty five minutes of heaven. That, after the shortest development cycle (from initial press reveal), and a 45 minute E3 direct.Heck, we're still in the same position we were a month ago. Four unique newcomers in with are last big reveals being Simon and K. Rool. Sakurai mentioned looking towards the ballot this roster iteration after those reveals and we're still waiting to see who's after K. Rool in the number slot.
That trailer is not helpful at all- the clear second newcomer in the trailer is Ridley. That was the issue with his 'size' for years.
Oh, lol, well I mean I'm American originally as well. I speak the language and I've lived here for several years now but I don't see myself as qualified to make a definitive statement on most of that stuff.
Judging by some of the prediction articles I've read, the really popular picks in Japan that I see coming up regularly are Bandana Dee (as most of you know), Rex/Pyra, Sora, and Incineroar. They also seem to have a thing for Crash Bandicoot because I see people bringing him up in several lists. Shadow and other Sonic characters seem like common requests. Lots of love for ARMS characters too, with pretty much every list saying Springman or someone from that franchise is likely. Check out these (all in Japanese but I've chosen ones with pictures)

https://matome.naver.jp/odai/2152059317656546501?&page=1 (This one has a ton of picks across 4 pages, lots of them from Fire Emblem and such)

You'll notice that none of them even mention Isaac. Unfortunately, while the series is definitely remembered here, I think it gets lost in the shuffle of JRPGs, whereas for a lot of people in the West Golden Sun was one of our early forays into the genre and our first real JRPG on a handheld. Interestingly, at least 2 of them feature K. Rool. One of them gives examples of popular western picks, with number 6 being 6.ロビン(黄金の太陽) (Isaac from Golden Sun). So they do know that he's a popular request over here, and if they know then Sakurai certainly does.
Sorry if that's a bit inconclusive. I've moved fairly recently and don't have many Japanese gamer friends so I can't really give you what the word on the street is, but I hope that at least gives you guys a picture of what the Japanese intarwebz are saying.
That's dissapointing. But expected.Yeah so update on famitsu. The new issue came out but no details about the direct. Chances are next issue will contain details (im getting different dates every time i ask about what day Famitsu comes out) regardless Monday seems like the day the direct will air.
Honestly, I'm thankful someone confirmed this. I'd probably be too DELUDED by the hype to see the real famitsu articles from fake ones.Yeah so update on famitsu. The new issue came out but no details about the direct. Chances are next issue will contain details (im getting different dates every time i ask about what day Famitsu comes out) regardless Monday seems like the day the direct will air.
50 divided by 5 is 10.You know what I find funny
The Skull Kid "leak" is from this
What's the music the the background?
It all comes together
I was wondering something. Why did you change your avatar to that since we haven't had the direct yet?50 divided by 5 is 10.
10 plus 4 equals 14.
14 minus 13 equals 1.
1 plus 49 equals 50.
5 times 0 equal 0.
0 plus 3 equals 3.
There are 3 games in the golden sun series.
GOLDEN SUN IS ILLUMINATI.
Wasn't that a self-imposed wager or something?I was wondering something. Why did you change your avatar to that since we haven't had the direct yet?
Yeah you can say we're still early in the newcomer cycle, there's only been four revealed so far. Sometimes the thread can take a sudden turn to pessimistic in the span of a single day even when we're sitting on the exact same info we've known for a while now. The smash 4 paranoia is strong at times.Yes we do, this game is numbered.
Melee started after twelve characters:
#13- Peach
#14- Bowser
#15- Ice Climbers
Jeez, some of us fans are ravenous. We got FIVE newcomers a month ago, and in twenty five minutes of heaven. That, after the shortest development cycle (from initial press reveal), and a 45 minute E3 direct.
It has been one month today, and we would have more information if not for natural disaster. How much more do you want? Information is there and coming. Eat a pretzel and relax.
That trailer is not helpful at all- the clear second newcomer in the trailer is Ridley. That was the issue with his 'size' for years.
But I have never seen that video, thank you. It made me cry to hear people cheer for their character reveals.
Also, there are some CRAZY camera angles shown in that video. I wonder what the plans were for them that ultimately ended up getting scrapped.
Dude, your entire argument was about Isaac being the fifth character revealed. It is the thesis to your argument, not a minute detail.Sometimes you guys make we want to bash my head against a brick wall. You get caught on the littlest details in people’s responses without thinking of the idea as a whole. Yes it is not always the fifth but it’s within the top five. Melee and brawl first revealed their characters through cinimatics which showed a handful of characters at once. Among those sakurai deemed it important to show the retro characters ice climbers and pit. I don’t think his thought process has changed I think he will want to show Isaac in the front half of characters.
I dont think there is a hot seat this time around. I guarantee DLC support for this game, and not just support, but avid support, that may even be free for the first year (or significantly discounted in regard to characters), due to the necessity to grow the online service.Yeah you can say we're still early in the newcomer cycle, there's only been four revealed so far.

Personally I'm not going to feel like we're in the hot seat until we get about three or so more newcomers and about to hit our final presentation. Isaac could very well even be the last character revealed. Unless he's revealed as an assist before then or something.
