I wonder what well see in addition to news of a character, at the very least. will we immediately get one? I dunno...but I'm confident we'll at least see a new one.
I wonder what else we'll get, though.

About the FAQs leak.

I'm pretty sure the guy saw the Wolf/Rool/Bomberman leak and came up with something on the spot, there's just a lot that doesn't add up.

Plus the usual "I saw some pics of the Direct...and I'll only talk about Smash!" is just old and tired

A speculative roster thing I made that went alongside my giant post a few months back I'll bring up for the Direct: (Context: This is for the next singular reveal, not my view on overall chances for multiple characters.)



Green = most likely, red = least. This was my prediction list I made in August. For some additions:

-Shantate into upper RED
-King K. Rool into lower YELLOW
-Ridley into lower RED
-Chibi Robo into lower YELLOW
-Isaac into upper RED

I've seen multiple people claiming on Twitter and elsewhere that, no matter who gets revealed tomorrow we probably won't be surprised... now I want Sakurai to come out of left field and surprise me.

edit: Also, don't they usually have a guesstimate on how long the direct will be? Or do they only post that info up like right before it? I thought we usually know at least a bit ahead of time.

So, Sakurai tweeted the Direct...

Now, I just need to survive this day. It's almost 10 AM here and the Direct starts at 10 PM.

It's hype time.

I don't really want a surprise.

I just want a good old popular character.

I've filled my quota with surprises for a while.

I'd settle for both personally. As much as I like SK and Inklings, and that gfaqs leak trio, it'd be rad to get someone no one is expecting and is popular. Heck, just a surprise alone I think would rejuvenate the community.

I'm like 85 percent sure Roy and Lucas were the last veterans we're getting.

So a veteran would be a surprise for me.

12 hours.

12 hours are all that remain between us, and the Direct. To anyone who is able to, I suggest getting some rest.

You people have strange concepts of surprises.

You're saying popular characters like Wolf and Shovel Knight.

I'm thinking :4wiifitm::4wiifit: when I talk about surprises.

Insomnia has been holding all night since midnight. finally, I'm starting to get sleepy. I'll probably wake up for breakfast in like 7 hours (its 5am for me). goodnight folks, I'll see you all on this hype train later today.

The Direct starts at 9AM for me. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight with all this hype, may as well just pull an allnighter. :happysheep:

Call me crazy, but I think there's a possibility of more than one character being revealed.

(Please, let one of them be Wolf... :()

Pretty sure we're getting two at least.

Maybe all three. Who knows?

Considering our last reveal was a triple, it's not impossible, especially since it's been 5 MONTHS since the last characters were added.

It should have been :/
And it still will be.
I think unlike Ryu the amount of disbelief around that idea of a 3rd party indie getting in would defintiely surprise even those of us who have been discussing it for months.

It's not exactly a Ryu situation where we had piles of hard to deny evidence and then actual footage of him in game pre-reveal.

So you're saying...

Literally anyone is a surprise?

I think so, I mean we're at a certain part of DLC where things won't exactly be easy to predict.

I mean we talk about a lot of characters and all those characters are not the center of a leak with really irrefutable evidence so that to me means they'd be really surprising.

I mean I believed the Duck Hunt, Bowser Jr stuff, but was still surprised seeing them after all.

And I mean Robin kind of surprise
Not WFT kind of surprise
Someone we don't expect but is still really wanted

You know what would be seriously hype? Snake being revealed.

The Direct starts at 9AM for me. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight with all this hype, may as well just pull an allnighter. :happysheep:
Good luck to you and all those in Australia trying to sleep with all this hype. :p

At least, you can sleep so time goes faster... I have a whole day of classes before the Direct.

I agree, I am honestly expecting two characters to be revealed, and one will definitely be Wolf.
It's likely that Star Fox Zero will be shown, so who knows?

I want to believe, but I'm not setting myself for disappointment. It may not happen, after all.

Well, Wolf is not really a character I care for. I just think it's logical to expect his return today.
Expecting Snake however would be setting myself up for a letdown, probably. :D

Still on #TeamNoMoreVeterans.

Anyway...

So far we have:

- Pokemon News? Pokemon Z? Pokken?
- Twilight Princess HD?
- Amiibo News most likely.
- Minecraft Wii U?
- Smash DLC news.

This is already shaping up to potentially be a great direct.

I wonder if part of the reason we haven't seen Wolf yet is so he can get a new voice actor.
I really hope this isn't the case as I love Wolf's Brawl voice...
I just think we haven't seen him because he's not Sakurai's radar at the moment.

I honestly don't expect him to return till Smash 5 at this point.

He'll be back, but he's either going to be next game's Mewtwo situation.

Or be a triumphant veteran return with the Climbers. I could be wrong, but this is just what I feel.

I really feel like Sakurai has put veterans behind him and he's only focusing on newcomers he had in mind and ballot ''winners".

That might be a reason honestly.

Wolf isn't a character you can reuse clips for and he's not exactly a priority for E3 like Ryu was.

I mean Roy, they hired the same guy and just used his Japanese clips for all versions.

I imagine getting all the localized voice actors would be a bigger hassle.

Well, I definitely expect to see Wolf today. I can see him not wanting to overload the last wave with veterans so they develop Ryu first, then this time they have Wolf.

We'll see either way.

All this Direct really needs to please me is either Pokemon Z or a newcomer DLC for Smash
I'm tired of vets
Bonus points if we also get Fates release info

I think Sakurai would have loaded all veterans into one thing, simply because veterans more than newcomers feel like ''Didn't make base game so we could charge you for them later."

I suppose less so on Roy and Mewtwo giving them skipped an entire game. But Lucas and Wolf would/definitely did have that vibe for some.

And we know Sakurai doesn't want the DLC to fill like it's just ''Oh yeah, here's our after thoughts."

...I don't agree with that at all.
None of the returning characters feel like they were cut from the base game mostly to sell as DLC later, they were all legitimately cut from time constraints.
And, if anything, Mewtwo is the one that gives off that vibe the most, seeing as it seems like he really should have been in to begin with.
