I noticed that too. Decided to keep it for the LOL's.

 

[Fell God]

THEY USED THEN INSTEAD OF THAN WHAT'S WITH THESE MAD LADS

 

[IsmaR]

From the same folks who brought you "adds a new level of strategery."

 

[Morrigan]

They still haven't fixed it lol.

Can't wait to get my hands on my boy!

Well, today's Pika day.

"This fierce fighter uses electric moves like Thunder Jolt and Thunder. Pikachu Libre is one of the alternate costumes and you can tell she's female by the shape of her tail."

Meanwhile, I'm just waiting for Palutena to be shown for multiple reasons.

 

[Fell God]

I wish they'd give us music twice a week, they probably have more than enough new tracks to do that. The wait is killing me.

 

[John Dylan Smith]

Tonight's fighter is Pikachu (Do have to wonder as to how many more veterans they'll show off before we get to something else entirely different)!

What do you mean? All new characters have been covered, as was the case for each of them shortly after their reveal.

So far:

• 9 new characters
• 35 returning characters
• 6 new stages (includes BF and FD)
• 6 returning stages
• 4 new items
• 8 new Pokemon
• 9 new assist trophies

To go:

• 2 new characters
• 26 returning characters
• 0 new stages
• ??? returning stages
• 7 new items
• 5 new Pokemon
• 8 new assist trophies

That is a total of 48 entries for the next 54 updates until release. If we assume 6 more returning stage posts, that's exactly enough content planned to get us through release day.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Any news for today?

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

They've skipped two Mondays in a row. I'm unsure if there's a particular reason for this or if they're just slowing down the post schedule. Most of these aren't really new information so it's not a big deal, but it is a little unusual.

Any news for today?

Today is the Moon (please mean playable skull kid)
It's on the Japanese Twitter

 

[AIM0001]

The US site for some reason, doesn’t have the moon posted.

Sure it does.

Sure it does.

Hmmmm I went on the site again and I still don’t see it. Oh well, not a big deal. Atleast it’s here.

Hit ctrl+F5 to hard reload the site. Sometimes the Smash Bros website gets kinda tangled in your browser's cache for some reason.

Lucina tonight. Nothing new or interesting in the description.

Not like there were gonna be anything new about her since she’s Marth’s echo (and he ain’t got nothing new moveset wise)

But on the bright side...Fire Emblem is gonna have some great remixed songs thanks to one artist

 

[Fell God]

How many fighters are left now? We must be getting close. Either way, I hope the rumors of an October 16th Smash Bros direct are true.

This week's music is from Pokemon! The track in question is a remix of Steven Stone's battle theme from ORAS!

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Music Theory suggests Incenoroar should be sweating

 

[DBPirate]

Music Theory is pretty much dead now since I believe Incineroar is in, no matter what. Glad that means there's still a little bit of hope for a Zelda and Kirby newcomer though.

You sound a little too confident.

 

[Fell God]

Inb4 Verg and the music theory are wrong lol

 

[Arthur97]

Inb4 Verg and the music theory are wrong lol

At this point I need video evidence to believe a leak.

 

[DBPirate]

You sound a little too confident.

I'm not 100% sure, but given that Vergeben has been right about everything so far, I'm going to say he's right about Ken and Incineroar. I still hope those aren't the only ones left, but I do think they're in.

He may have been right, but he also hasn't given us everything. I like to point out that Gamatsu looked very real too, but it got Chrom wrong and didn't account for some others. Remember, we don't know for sure, so don't act like it's a given.

Again, show me a video and maybe I'll believe it.

Gematsu was real. Chrom was planned, but was scrapped due to being too similar to Marth or Ike, I can't remember which. The Chorus Kids were also planned to be in the game and I believed that was discovered through datamining.

Of course, there's totally a chance Vergeben is wrong. I think it is a very minimal chance though. And most leakers don't know everything about the game so that can't be held against him.

It wasn't fully accurate though. Your statement of saying that [insert weird Pokemon name here] was definitely in shows you seem a little too confident. Especially with little to no corroborating evidence.

 

[WertQuadNine]

The real importance of this music track...
YO IT SLAPS

I wasn’t around during Smash 4 speculation so I don’t know what you’re referring to about Gematsu not being accurate. Every character was either planned or in the game.

Again, I’m just basing my speculation off the fact that Vergeben has not got anything about Ultimate wrong so far so there is a very good chance Incineroar is in the game. It’s not my opinion or anything.

I think we may be driving this thread off-topic though so I’m not going to say anything else about him.

The additional update for the day on Japanese twitter is Brinstar.

【きょうのステージ】ブリンスタ
メトロイドシリーズの舞台となる、惑星ゼーベスの地下エリアです。乱闘中に上下してくる酸に触れると手痛いダメージを受けますが、ステージの外に落下しそうな時に触れると、酸のおかげで復帰できることもあるんです！#スマブラSP　#メトロイド pic.twitter.com/Ag25K69xd3

[PlayerOneTyler]

Updated the OP. Also, sorry about totally missing Brinstar. I didn't even see it was up on the English site until I looked for today's update. Brinstar's now in the Archives.

 

[Admiral Pit]

So fitting for a Samus to give us an update related to Metroid.

Death's Scythe is also today's announcement. Nothing new, except it talks about some black aura that surrounds your opponent before you attack, which signals an instant KO. I may be afraid of this item given my problem or fear with instant death/KO things. *shivers*

 

[Thinkaman]

Silly for fun prediction:

Luigi will be the last Fighter of the Day.

Don't play on New Pork City - I forgot his name but the beast there can do that in this version instead of just launching you hard(but can be teched)like in Brawl.

I don't see this much different from the Home Run Bat, imo, but yeah, this will be a deadly item. It's a shame you can't give the same treatment Luigi got and actually remove the victim's soul. Anyway I would likely keep it off as much as I like items.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Sonic is going to hunt down all the OCs he’s dealt with over the past decade with that Death Scythe
