Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Champ Gold]

So...

The final broadcast...

A) Do you think it means we have one more update?

Yeah. Probably a few balance patches and extra stages and Mii costumes. Aside from that nothing else

B) Do you think it means this is the last news we will get?

Yes. I think we will know everything that happens in the near future on roster, stages and everything else. We will not be let in the dark anymore until Smash 5

 

[Soul.]

I mean, at this point I just hope it is the last one so speculation gets a rest after 4 years.

But more balance patches pls

 

[Kenith]

Once this final broadcast airs, it will be my last time around here. I've been waiting for this moment the past few months lolol.

Same here. Once the dust is settled I will be gone.

 

[AreJay25]

It'd be pretty sweet if they kept a small team around to make balance patches.

Probably won't happen though.

 

[Frostwraith]

So...

The final broadcast...

A) Do you think it means we have one more update?
B) Do you think it means this is the last news we will get?

Probably the last news. I can see a few things being announced for one last wave in 2016 similar to how content from the July wave was unveiled on the E3 presentation.

Of course, I'm not really excluding the outcome in which this is the definite final batch of content.

 

[Senselessbreak]

So...

The final broadcast...

A) Do you think it means we have one more update?
B) Do you think it means this is the last news we will get?

Mix of both. It will be the last news we get get for the game surely, including the ballot winner. Although Im not sure if we are getting the ballot character in this update or down the road. Eitherway, it probably won't be long as they will likely rush the ballot character so they can wrap up development.

Man, let's just hope this final balance patch is really gonna be something good. Let Smash 4 go out with a bang.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So how many characters do you think we will get from here on?

 

[Strofirko]

Me too fellas,and 5 years from now,I will awake in a crazy dystopian future from smashboards where every single moderator from this thread,disappeared,most of the speculators faded away,most of the guys I talked on The Dead 4 Social and here will have unrecognizable names and Sakurai still trolling us all.

 

[Chrono.]

I'll still stick around unless the thread becomes too dead lol

 

[True Blue Warrior]

So how many characters do you think we will get from here on?

Two more.

 

[AreJay25]

I'll stick around. Sm4sh speculation might be over but the game itself is still going strong.

Plus there's still other games to discuss and whatnot.

 

[aldelaro5]

So I checked my school schedule on the 15th and I have a final of philosophy BUT

It ends at 4pm EST, the direct is at 5pm EST....

YAY!!!!!!

Now, tbh I don;t really have last minute prediction, I still can only tell which have decent chances, but can;t tell how much or who would be in.

 

[Opossum]

So how many characters do you think we will get from here on?

Two more at least, three more at most.

 

[Deleted member]

So how many characters do you think we will get from here on?

At least two.

 

[Arcanir]

I just heard that they allowed the Cover Legendaries into VGC, it's going to be interesting to see how they adapt to the Primals, the Deer of Life, and Delta Dragon Jesus.

So...

The final broadcast...

A) Do you think it means we have one more update?
B) Do you think it means this is the last news we will get?

I'm leaning towards B (ignoring things like patches of course), I don't think they'd build this up to be the last Smash direct if they were planning on giving us something big afterwards. I feel this is where they're going to go out with their big bang and then taper off with minor updates.

As for characters, I'm expecting only two more.

 

[Deleted member]

All you guys talking about wanting to grow a beard and I'm just here being jealous of damn smooth faces

Hey, her art isn't always like that, that's just what happens when both the artist and requester both think very well alike.

I fear that some members of this thread will disappear after speculation ends
Then again, I thought the same would happen when the leaks group ended and look at this place now
Besides, this is a Social thread so I guess most of us will stay here(this is the only kind of social life we have anyways :^))

 

[True Blue Warrior]

There was a beard discussion before?

 

[CroonerMike]

Same here. Once the dust is settled I will be gone.

We will set off into the sun.

 

[Frostwraith]

So how many characters do you think we will get from here on?

Judging by what's been data mined from the game, I only expect two more characters.

Of course, if there are more than two, my expectations will be surpassed and it will be exciting. For now, it's best to just wait and see. I'm not making any predictions.

Nintendo is, naturally, hyping this up with all the fuss about this being the last presentation. Something big is coming and I see Sakurai wishing on going out with a bang, so I'm looking forward to what will happen.

 

[Radical Bones]

Aussie boys who are better at Math:

This whole Smash Direct thing - you know the one I'm talking about I assume...

What time does it air in Australia-Town?

I'm in Melbourne PS so I run on AEST.

 

[Deleted member]

Sooo, a the design for Godzilla 2016 was shown.

Spoiler

They ain't hiding him this time around. This design grows more and more on me, I always wanted a nightmarish '54 Jiller. Only thing that has bugged me us the eyes. Always like more expressive eyes and such. But I think it's only so neautral like that because it's movking a famous '54 pic.

Also, tiny teaser.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I'm not going anywhere. I still have more bad puns to make.

(I also I have to mod my group or something but who cares)

 

[CroonerMike]

So how many characters do you think we will get from here on?

2 characters. Steve from minecraft and Shovel Knight...
Geno, Shantae, and Banjo mii costumes
1 trophy: Aerith with a sword through her.
3: stages:

 

[DarkDedede]

So any new photoshop "leaks?" Text leaks just don't do it for me any more.

It should be at 9 AM for your time zone.

Also, you could check your region's Nintendo website for the hour in your time zone, you know...

 

[Das Koopa]

My long-time prediction was 3, so I'm sicking with Cloud + 2 other guys.

I'm pretty hyped though. I dreamt Abomasnow and Frosslass were revealed as newcomers, and now I'm sad, because I can't go online with "Obamasnow" as a tag. Rip dreams.

 

[Soul.]

Eh I'll stick around. As much as I loathe it, speculation is gone; it's gonna suck for some people but at least there's competitive Smash.

 

[Chrono.]

Leaks are pretty much dead in the water.

We're "lucky" if we even get a text leak nowadays.

I just woke up and am too excited for your cool, level headed logic Frosty!

(Appreciate it, thanks)

 

[Shadowwolflink]

I still think we'll get 4 characters.

My hope/guess?
Banjo
Wolf
Inklings
Snake

 

[CroonerMike]

Banjo
Wolf
Inklings
Snake

Lols: Inklings, more like STINKlings

 

[cmbsfm]

I hope we get three more characters, that way we we'll have consistency among the two waves. Obviously, looking for patterns usually doesn't work, but three more would really keep it even.

Can't really make any predictions, no signs to predict who is likely and who isn't. Honestly, that's the way it should be.

 

[Deleted member]

I just watched the first episode of RWBY
How can someone be so cute and innocent yet still be a badass at the same time?
And I thought this was supposed to be an anime, why are episodes around 10 minutes? Wait, the second one is 6 minutes long, wtf?

 

[CroonerMike]

Who we actually need to save this broadcast:

 

[Chandeelure]

I will feel so bad if K.Rool is not revealed, it would be like 3 years of Smash 4 propaganda for nothing.
Well, that would happen with every popular character, but K.Rool was requested for Melee, Brawl and now Smash 4, unlike Bandana Dee, Inklings and others.
It would be like the ultimate failure :/

 

[DoodleDuck97]

So this is it. We are finally reaching the end of the Road with DLC/ Speculation. (which in some cases is a good thing)
I am thinking it's going to be the biggest Direct yet. Maybe even beating out the April Direct in terms of Reveals,

I hope to see at least two of these characters get in. Wolf, Snake, K Rool, Isaac, Inkling and a few others.
It would also be incredible to see Ice Climbers make a return (Their 30th anniversary, Christmas is just around the corner, They are Winter characters) and it would be great to see them back.
But if this is truly the end of the line, I am more than happy to say I was glad to be apart of every moment of it. It has been some of the most fun things to discuss about. I will always remember joining the boards. Supporting my mains till one actually returned (out of nowhere) Either way it has been a blast.
I have made so many friends here on the boards since I joined and I wish I had joined a little bit earlier in speculation.

I like to think most of you will still be on the boards after Speculation ends. Either way:
Thanks for being such a great community guys

 

[Soul.]

The sad thing is that when an anticipated character is announced it sucks competitively.
*cough* *cough*

(I don't think Mewtwo is that bad tho lol)

 

[Senselessbreak]

So how many characters do you think we will get from here on?

Two for sure. Three is optimistic. 4 just seems unlikely.

 

[Bedoop]

Les make some New Stage predictions to pass the time!
I'm honestly hoping any of the following happen;

WII U / 3DS
Yoshi's Story (Melee / 64, take your pick)
Spear Pillar (Brawl) (Yes, I know about Palkia, but Dialga and Cresselia are still around)
Inkopolis
Dr. Mario (@gameonion THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT)
Indie Medley (Why have just Butt Butt, Shan-bae, etc. when you can have all of them?)
Nintendo Badge Arcade Center

WII U
Balloon Fight (3DS)
Tomodachi Life (3DS)
Paper Mario (3DS)

3DS
Yoshi's Woolly World (Wii U)
Wii Fit Studio (Wii U)
Wrecking Crew (Wii U)
Smashville (Brawl)
Pirate Ship (Brawl)
Swapnote (Miiverse, basically)

If all of them happened I would really doubt Sakurai saying that he was only gonna add a couple more
Also, on the topic

Someone care to explain why we only have Brawl Stages as Smilies and not 64 / Melee / 3DS / Wii U stages too?
That's always struck me as odd
