Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct Confirmed for August 8th

In what can only be described as a move no one saw coming, Nintendo kicked off the finals of Evo 2018's Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament with an announcement of their own.

A new, entirely Super Smash Bros. Ultimate focused Direct will be airing this Wednesday, August 8th, at 7:00 AM PT/10:00 AM ET. This will be our first time receiving a large bulk of new information since the game's unveiling at E3 nearly two months ago, so there will be quite a bit to look forward to. Mark your calendars!

Author's Note: Fenriraga is going to be in class when the Direct is going on and will be screaming internally all the while. What do you think might be shown during the direct? Let us know in the comments!

 

show us that crocodile!

 

There won't be non-video game characters.

 

It’s most likely going to show Ashley as a new fighter and dark samus echo

 

I can't wait to watch and see what else will be revealed.

 

Geno, Ashley, and Pauline

 

Prepare for more crushed hopes and dream when they show assist trophies.

 

I think they'll introduce Echoes, give us 3 new Echoes, then end the direct with a unique newcomer.

 

Ten bucks says it's Geno and Etika's gonna say "Jeno".

Also, why are these things always on the worst possible days/times? What's wrong with the weekend?

 

Any idea of the length of time?

I think they'll introduce Echoes, give us 3 new Echoes, then end the direct with a unique newcomer.

That sounds believable. Not ideal but believable.

 

I'll be surprised if we don't get at least one newcomer reveal. But that aside, I'm hoping to learn more about Robin and Palutena.

That said, however, you never know with Sakurai. So we'll just have to wait and see.

 

I hope that they talk about the feedback received from the Invitational players and how they improved upon/didn't change the aspect of the game the players talked about, as well as why.

Crossing fingers for improved wavedashing and wavelanding.

 

Any idea of the length of time?



That sounds believable. Not ideal but believable.

20-25 minutes is usually the norm, only time I think it was longer was during the 50 Facts extravaganza.

 

Tutu-day, the Smash Direct Hype is real!
