You know, a Direct on November 1st makes sense because the Smash Switch bundle comes out the next day.
Hmm?...
I’ve been saying this ever since the darned thing was announced. Especially since it has character portraits on it. Seemingly all of them.

That, unless they drastically change the artwork of the box, it’ll have most, if not all the cast on it. And that we should be getting something the week prior to it’s release.

But noooo. People kept saying it would be mid to late November that we’d get Smash news, all but forgetting the box eveb comes out in the beginning of November. Which blows my mind considering even to this day the Box Theory is a point of contention. But people forgot that one minor detail being the date it’s released.

Granted we haven’t got solid confirmation of the Direct yet, I’m not/wouldn’t be shocked if we got one his week. In fact I’d be more perplexed if we didn’t and the box still came out. With only up to Isabelle on it and no other new characters.

Wow! You guys are almost at page 700 congratulations! You guys have fought long and hard for Isaac and you all deserve him. It will be a special moment to all of us when Ridley, K. Rool, Geno, and Isaac bros are all united together for Smash matches.

The first thing I'll be doing (after I unlock them) is get these guys (Isaac, K. Rool, Ridley, Banjo and Geno) in a group photo and maybe add to it, "Thank you, Sakurai!"

Edit: Characters

Hello! Haven't posted in here in a while; but i've lurked enough to know at least what's going on. I'm caught up in most that's happening, and i can say, that we shouldn't give up for our golden boy.

Now, uh, regarding the direct; it's completely likely that we'll get it on the first weeks of November! After all, a literal month before the release? It'd be risky to spend all of november without literally anything of the sort. Also the smash bundle. Also could shut down leaks.

Also, unlike the actual credibility of the millions of 'insiders' that have come forward, a lot of them seem to be implying/pointing to the same thing, something they all seem to agree to, so....

It's too late to turn back! We can't give up now!

I wasn't around during the Brawl speculation (despite wanting Isaac). Was it really like that?

That reminds me, which Smash do you guys think has the best set of newcomers? Not including 64, I'd say

1. Brawl
2. Ultimate (Probably 1 if the mural leak is real)
3. Sm4sh
4. Melee
For me, I think this is how my list would go if the mural leak is real.

3 character Squad Strike:
:ultshulk:
:ultwolf:
Isaac/:ultdarksamus:(if he's not in)

5 character Squad Strike:
:ultshulk:
:ultwolf:

I would call last one "Wolf and the adepts": Isaac as Venus, Marth as Mars, Shulk as Jupiter and Richter as Mercury.

I wasn't around during the Brawl speculation (despite wanting Isaac). Was it really like that?
I spent most of my time on NSider, NSider2, and Gamefaqs.

Nsider (the official Nintendo Forums) was one of my first major forum experiences. I would bump yr old threads and flame people who didn't want my characters lol. It was a chill place cause it was pretty moderated. But the relevancy/popular people vs. the niche people thing was still happening back then. It made me dislike Sonic fans for a while, didn't help that his games were getting back around that time (this was 2004 to 2007). Also since there was no Discord or even Skype back then, people made secret forums in order to gossip about others on the main forum or even raid it for various reasons, including why they didn't like certain characters. Also I was like 11 back then but some how managed to convince people I was in my early twenties.

Nsider2 was a fan forum that came to be after Nintendo shut down NSider. Since it was less moderated, people there were more sassy. It was pretty common to see people call other people names there over characters. I also witnessed my first leak ever there, the gameplay of toon link and lucario. I held out til the very end, hoping there would be more. At the time I thought Brawl was a disappointing roster due to no Isaac, Andy, or Ray, now I think its one of the best.

Gamefaqs was the worst of the three. I'm not sure if its worser now or back then lol. A lot of flaming and hatered of unpopular characters. A lot of console war spillover too.

Edit: Damn NSider2 looks nothing like it used to.

LOL Fly Amanita used to be part of the lame clan I weasled my way into

Reset Era seems to think these are the last characters.
Elma
Sora
Ken
Incinroar
Shadow

However, I saw comments suggesting that fan's over there have a tendancy to flip flop back and forth between Isaac and Geno, and Sora and Elma. The general consensus seems mixed.

It worth noting that I privately talked with Sephazon on Discord the other day. He told me that the leak was fake, but that people who said it was fake were almost unnaturally enthusiastic about that fact. Suggesting something is seriously up behind the scenes.

I refuse to rate the roster with the Grinch leak for now, making a final judgment call against the other rosters is just unfair if I'm taking that leak into account (A. Because it would win without a doubt B. If I do that I feel like I'm condemning the leak for certain at that point haha/I'm still leaning towards it being fake).

1. Brawl - Just objectively has the best newcomers. So many big names in that game that deserved it. Wario, Diddy Kong, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Pokemon Trainer were all pretty massive additions. I loved the smaller, less known choices as well such as Ike, Olimar (Even if I still suck trying to play as him), Wolf, and R.O.B. especially. Also, getting the first third party characters ever was amazing, especially when one of them was Snake and Sonic was coming in to the Nintendo home front essentially. I know some people were disappointed, but that really had to have read like a dream roster at the time.

2. Smash 4 - For as much flack as I give Smash 4 and the roster choices, I will say many of them were inspired and contributed good characters to the game. Shulk, Little Mac, Mega Man, Duck Hunt, Villager, and Mega Man are all additions I absolutely adore and can't do without now. Fire Emblem needed a different kind of character and Robin was just that (Still to me the most inspired FE character). Bowser Jr. and Wii Fit Trainer are weirder characters I had no interest in til I saw them in action. Greninja accidentally became my second favorite Pokemon in the series. Rosalina played very unique and I was happy to have her. Palutena made sense though I wasn't a huge fan. The only characters I wasn't keen on were Dark Pit and the Mii Fighters, which holds true to this day. Add in DLC and this game becomes even better.

3. Ultimate - I mean Ridley and King K. Rool have been my number one and two since Smash 4. Castlevania is one of my favorite video game series, and I couldn't ask for better representation in Smash. Inkling is the most sensible and well done addition of this game I would argue. Isabelle is adorable and I think Animal Crossing deserved a second representative. Dark Samus is the best kind of Echo. Only Chrom and Daisy do nothing for me, and I at least see why they were added.

4. Melee - Yay, I'm continuing the trend of everyone else. Melee had some great additions. Boswer, Peach, and Zelda were all necessary additions at that point. Shiek, Marth, and Mewtwo were great additions, and we got our first taste of weird in the series with Mr. Game and Watch and Ice Climbers. All the unique characters were pretty good. Though, not necessarily my personal favorites of the series. The over reliance of clones such as the poor old Ganondorf, alongside the likes of Young Link, Pichu, Roy, and Dr. Mario all felt weird though. When Ganondorf gets that poorly represented, and the remainder on the clones are strange choices for the time, I'm inclined to give this game the last position on the list.

Considering Mario won't be in Wreck it Ralph 2, that MIGHT mean Sora's chances for inclusion are lower. I wouldn't know though.

Oh and Reset Era tends to have bizarre opinions. I prefer Smashboards, /v/, YouTube, and even Plebbit over Reset Era. That's just me though...

Ummmmm..... ok? Those are certainly, interesting. I've personally never understood why a lot of people think Elma might be on the way. Much of she hinges on is relevancy and, as the newcomer choices have proven thus far, that certainly is not a priority for Sakurai in this game compared to previous games. Sora I get (because I want him too), but at this rate I say he's probably one of the first considered for DLC, not base. Incineroar, DLC is looking like their best shot. I've never been a huge Incineroar person (I went Primarina in my run of Gen VII) and, honestly, the inclusion of Incineroar would not fit with the rest of the roster.

kinda interesting how in brawl speculation days and early smash 4 speculation, isaac, banjo, and geno fans would not get along as much

but after smash 4, there was solidarity, because all of them had the same argument thrown at them
All it took was time too show that we all have common ground what's funny to me is everytime I've wanted a character I usually get them it works for others but not some I've gotten little mac megaman Simon Isaac hopefully the wish comes true

This reminds me of the LeakyPandy tweet where he said "Skull Kid's a boss" with no apparent proof. Of course, name dropping Isaac sucks, but I refuse to believe that the dream is over due to one tweet.
I'd like to believe it, but for someone to go from pro-Isaac to "it's not happening" is rough. It's very disheartening for me to see this, since it feels like there must be something to go off of, I feel.

Once again I have to wonder what sources they trust so dang much that they're willing to discard this leak as fake despite most public evidence pointing in its favor. It would be one thing if insiders were generally doubting the leak because they were hearing differing stories, but it's as though they had Nintendo themselves whispering in their collective ears "It's fake" and/or "Incineroar is in". Either we're going to have a fascinating story about how this leak was fabricated, or an equally fascinating story as to how the insider community was duped into believing a myth.

It’s things like this why I want the speculation cycle to just end. Real or not I don’t give a damn. I just want to know the final roster already.

So many people who are supposed “insiders” are saying so many different things that I can’t trust any of them. So this stealth guy. Don’t know him. Don’t care. How am I supposed to take his word for it when so many others have said differing things, even from each other.

So no. This does not scare me. This means nothing, ultimately.

In fact, nothing means anything. We do what we need to do here, that’s the end of it. Getting Isaac in Smash. If he’s not in the game base roster, we kick and scream for DLC. If he’s not DLC we kick and scream when Smash 6 is a thing.

Everything that’s been happening may have been interesting for us, to say the least, but I felt like I should say this. Regardless of what happens or what anyone says, as long as we keep talking one day we’ll be heard.

This whole insider nonsense is just getting on my damn nerves...

Why should I believe this Stealth guy without any evidence?

He's been right about some Smash Ultimate stuff in the past. As well as being one of the most Pro Isaac insiders left, outside of Jon from gamexplain or Emily rogers. So if he abandoned ship, we might be in for a horrible wake up. I'm going to try talking with some other folks tonight. See if I can piece the puzzle together.

Again, red herring is a thing even within the company. What makes any of us think that this dude knows jack ****? there is a lot of bias against this leak and all these "insiders" are recurring to their lucky position to spread false word that has nothing solid to back it up other than "I heard it", lmao. Sorry but I will continue avoiding whoever has something to say because they "heard" it or they have an uncle at nintendo, I literally had enough of those in the past 3 months.

The one good thing about this situation is it's likely we'll have a Direct within two weeks. My bet is this Thursday as some others have speculated, but that's not a horrible wait in any circumstance, especially if you have the discipline to not read Smash speculation in the interim.
