It does sound like that. Although with sakurai you never know ;)

But yeah we might only count for 1 character to be revealed.
At least we know there's one now.
Seems like it. I wonder who. Banjo seems hyped up recently but Erdrick is a long time coming for us.

With how Sakurai worded that, I thin we'll only get one character-


Still hopeful for two

Honestly, I could easily see it going either way. (or unexpected character, but i think less chance on that)

I bet a ton of people will root for banjo because there'll probably be something banjo at the microsoft one.

Yeah, I'm leaning toward Banjo. Given how he was recently marketed and then hinted by Shinobi, I'm expecting a jiggy-tastic time.

It sounds like reveal 1, but they could tease another.
1am on the 12th, aka Nintendos E3. It starts at 1am in Japan I think.

Nintendos E3 Direct Starts on the 12th from 11-12pm EST
So Idk what that translates too for Japan

I think it'd be erdrick because brave was the second character worked on.

It was early tho, so things could've shifted around too tho

I was saying reveal 1 character, not the time. Its 12 PM EST.

I think we could get the Banjo trailer tommorow, Banjo info Tuesday, and a Trailer for the next at the end of the direct, could be a DQ, could be something else.

Theoretically, I can see Brave being pushed back in favor of Nintendo teaming up with Microsoft, assuming Brave is Erdrick. Therefore, push Erdrick back to work on Banjo. We already know two fighters are currently being worked on right now

I don't think two is impossible. There's no way they would flat-out say ahead of time that there would be more than one. I sure wouldn't count on it, though.

That does pretty much eliminate the possibility of a reveal anywhere else before the Direct, like at anyone else's conference, as remote as that was.

I doubt we will get any info outside the direct. If there's something for BK non-Smash related then tomorrow its showtime, but if it's Smash related then it's only going to be shown on Tuesday.

Pretty much this. Now we just gotta see if Banjo is even going to get new content anymore from Microsoft

Which is too bad because i was excited for any potential surprises elsewhere. But there'll be some with other stuff still ;p

Looking to see what's new with Dragon Quest at SE.

Well that one guy on Twitter said we'd get a character shown today during the tournament. Does anyone have that tweet? I would like to see it again. He said we'd get a DQ character during the tournament but it wouldn't be who we are expecting, so since we didn't get a character, that means his info isn't correct and it still could be who we're expecting

Edit: Nevermind, here it is https://twitter.com/MTLSaiyan/status/1137171704785121280

I guess that means he's wrong and we still very well could get Erdrick on Tuesday

This will be a little bit harder to be patient (for the next days), lol.

Why is it that people take everything they don't like as leakbait? I wonder what would happen if someone proposed that about BK.

I mean, just thinking logically if you were to bait someone you would use something popular and in the case of SE pretty much any of the Square 7 would be more likely to be leakbait.

For those who don't frequent the social thread, Shinobi, the same man who hinted at Banjo for Smash, just retweeted Sakurai's direct announcement. I have his twitter so anyone's more than welcome to look for patterns, but I think he knows he's the guy who leaked Banjo and is drumming up hype. This, to me, means Banjo for E3.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

You know, I'm actually glad we didn't get any reveals today. There's a much better environment to show something off at nintendo's direct, including showing games coming to the switch, etc.

I agree. I think a Nintendo direct is the most comfortable place to reveal a newcomer because everybody expects one there. Whoever's revealed next, let's hope it's a smashing good time.

Well, you're not competing with erdrick, so try to root a little for that reveal too ;)

Keep in mind, Japan doesn't actually have plurals as part of their syntax. Whether or not someone is speaking about one or multiple is generally established by the greater context of the conversation.

This doesn't mean that multiple reveals are guaranteed, but it's worth noting that Sakurai's statement doesn't completely confirm only one reveal on Tuesday.

I'll admit, I'm totally Banjo > Erdrick, so I'm gonna be biased over who I want first. Maybe that's inappropriate for this thread though, so I apologize for that attitude.

With that said, god damn. I'm shocked we might not get Erdrick now. I want two reveals but I'm going to go into the direct pessimistic about the number of newcomers

Yup. There's a few thoughts ive seen around. There might be one that's almost ready to be released and that'd be the main focus, but they could still announce the 3rd dlc as a tease at the end or something
