Super Smash Bros. to appear at San Diego Comic-Con (Special Surpise, but don't get your hopes up)

[alex6309]

I hope we finally get to see some Ike gameplay, He's been revealed a while ago yet the only footage we have of him is him doing eruption then taunting in Lucina's trailer.

A veteran maybe? But it could be anything thanks to EVO.

But if it was a veteran it would be Lucas as coincidentally, Mother's anniversary is around that date.

 

[Banjodorf]

Well, I'll just post here saying I hope the hype doesn't get out of control. I expect another trailer or two soon also, but a week and a half?

Vet...maybe.

After they didn't show Pac-Man at the end of the Invitational, and instead behind closed doors, my hopes aren't too high. Hah!

 

[Jumpman84]

(gets my hopes up, only for them to be completely shattered)

We could get a trailer, like the one at Japan's event...

 

[Banjodorf]

I'm actually more interested to see what the roster is for the tournament. I somehow doubt it'll be the same, they'd want to show more characters in action.

Here's hoping we can see what Palutena's default moveset is.

 

[Icedragonadam]

These are the Nintendo dates of interest around the time.

R.O.B. Anniversary-26th (JP)
Mother 25th Anniversary-27th (JP)
Dr. Mario Anniversary- 27th (JP)
Kid Icarus Anniversary- NA (Release date unknown)

If there's a veteran reveal, I would assume the likest vets to be revealed are either Lucas, Ness, or R.O.B.

 

[Nat Perry]

Hopefully it's a new demo build with other characters and stages. I'm hoping for less landing lag too.

 

[Nstinct]

If Lucas made it back, I'd be so happy that I'd turn into a crybaby like Lucas. Then of course I'd defeat a powerful foe in tournament and mature into a man...kidding, I'd probably be mid-tier and cry forever alone. *shots fired?*

 

[Soul.]

"Special surprise", it seems. What could it be? A new mode? Veteran character? Newcomer? I suppose we'll find out the day the event starts.

 

[SSBBDaisy]

Where did you get this information from. Is it from their twitch page cause I don't really see it anywhere there. Just curious

EDIT: NVM found it in another thread: https://www.facebook.com/2241731377...4173137756374/300089866831367/?type=1&theater

 

[Nintendotard]

Sakurai has a surprise in store for us apparently guys.

I need to see that Jab and his U- throw.

[Skyfox2000]

I hope it's a Veteran!

 

[DaDavid]

I imagine it'll be a veteran reveal or maybe some 3DS Smash peripheral at most and a surprise appearance by Reggie or someone at least.

 

[DakotaBonez]

What date does this convention start on?

 

[TheGoldMan]

There already is another thread on this.

 

[Icedragonadam]

What date does this convention start on?

July 24-27th

 

[Doompatron3000]

Wow I am pleasantly surprise, although it does go back to what I said about Nintendo Hosting Tournaments somewhat.

Nintendo Tournament= New Reveal

 

[StarLight42]

If it's a veteran, Ness please.

If it's a newcomer, Shulk please.

Not getting my hopes up though. I really thought it would be a better idea if they had revealed Pac-Man at the end of the invitational, but they didn't, so i'm not expecting much.

 

[DaDavid]

Well I think what happened with Pac-Man is that they wanted to reveal him during a time that Sakurai could stop and take questions afterward. Or they just wanted to give the press a little something special so as to keep them from whining that they basically made them useless this year.

 

[Shroob]

I'm not expecting anything. Now, if Sakurai retweets it, sure, go crazy... but the fact that it falls on the weekend seems weird to me. I really think it'll just be like "With special appearance by Reggie!" or something like that.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Like Chris said, it's likely to be guest appearances. That's what the special surprises were back at the E3 Treehouse stream.

 

[TerminalMontage]

Do we know what the tournament prize is?

 

[Ryuutakeshi]

Well, SDCC is a big event. Perfect place to drop some vets. I can't wait (to see my facebook wall explode since I'll probably miss it).

 

[Gene]

I wish they would start a Smash Tournament at the NY Comic Con in October. It would be perfect since it's a few days after the 3ds version comes out.

 

[Deleted member]

Do we know what the tournament prize is?

The ability to play as Shulk Captian Falcon for one match.

At the very least I expect at least 1 veteran revealed.

By the by I heard Kojima is attending ComicCon as well

 

[CapnMuffin]

I realized something, the day after a tournament ends, we usually get some announcement. After Smash Invitational at E3, we got Pac-Man, after EVO 2014, we got Lucina and Robin. If this continues, then we should expect someone to be announced after Comic Con's tournament.

I'm pessimistic, but this is actually a valid point. Perhaps we will get a small something or another. I'm hoping for Ness, Meta Knight or Ganondorf, personally.

 

[ybj]

Do we know what the tournament prize is?

The privilege to have your *** kicked by Reggie

 

[TewnLeenk]

I'm calling Ness and Falco at SDCC. You heard it first here, folks.

 

[MontyMonterson]

If Sakurai really is planning to announce all characters pre-release, we're in for some interesting weeks. Hoping that the final 2 of the original 12 will be announced.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Meta Knight please, after all he was the one dominating tournaments last game.

I'm probably going to say it is going to be a veteran reveal which would be my guess.

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

I didn't catch anyone talking about this.

Apparently Nintendo's streaming as well:

[Stompu]

A Veteran revel would be nice.

This'd be ideal

 

[Skyfox2000]

This'd be ideal

Agreed. Welcome to Smashboards.

 

[Stompu]

Agreed. Welcome to Smashboards.

Thanks man! Good to finally start posting

 

[Fatmanonice]

I'm calling Ness and Falco at SDCC. You heard it first here, folks.

Ness or Lucas (or both, please Sakurai?) seems very likely. Coincidentally, Mother's 25th anniversary is next Sunday, the final day of Comic-Con.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

It could be possible that it's just guest appearances by competitive players or developers. Those were the surprises during the Nintendo Treehouse.

Edit: Oh god did I seriously post the same thing twice.
