At least Ashley hype lives another day. I got on and trolls were claiming Ashley was assist'ed, it was freaking me out because a lot of people were saying it. Guess people were piggyback riding on a prank or something...or it was all one guy with too much time on his hands
Well that couldn’t have felt good. At least it wasn’t real.

I'm pretty sure all of the "leaks" floating around aren't real. They're fun to discuss anyway though.
Of the 200+ Leaks that have been recorded, There might be a few true ones, but nothing with the full roster. The only people privy to that knowledge at the moment want to keep their jobs

And some leaks still have a chance, since there is still the the 22nd and it's tournament.

The leak called for a direct on the 22nd, not a tournament. I still don't buy it.
I was not even really talking about the leak, just the fact that there is another tournament. There may not have been anything at this tourney, but perhaps they could reveal something the secound time around. Unlikely, but still possible.

That one I don't buy at all. I do feel bad for all the K. Rool fans that want the July reveal to be true. As a K. Rool fan myself, I don't think He's getting revealed in July.

Yeah, same. Back-to-back Ridley and K. Rool reveals would be a very tough act to follow.

Yeah, revealing the two most anticipated characters ever right after another wouldn't be a smart move if Nintendo wants to keep people engaged in speculation. I don't think the K Rool fans should really be worried though. He's pretty much guarenteed. I still think a direct is extremely likely though.

Oh boy, so many new posts. Seeing that, I was worried Ashley was seen as an Assist in this tournament.

This was the only thread I could trust to keep me posted (I really didn’t want to watch the stream). You guys were basically doing a play by play! While I wasn’t here the whole time (and didn’t stay up all the way), I kept refreshing once in a while to see if anything had happened.

That and the overwhelming positivity. Sometimes you need that in life.

Huh, I guess wanting Ashley to be voiced by Ian Sinclair, question the difficulty of forgetting a game that was never released in your region, wondering if a newcomer was ever revealed because their game was announced/releasing soon on a Nintendo console, and suggesting that Etika needs to punch a hole through his wall to one-up himself for destroying his shelf makes you an Ashley supporter.

I had a dream last night where Ashley was disconfirmed. Not as an Assist Trophy, mind you, but as one of Wario's costumes, where Wario is dressed like a safari explorer person and Ashley rides around on his shoulder. I was a sad boy.

Then I woke up and realized that that would be the stupidest disconfirmation in the history of mankind.

oof no reveal as expected, but I suppose it was nice seeing how the game plays out and everything. It would be cool if they reveal a character sometime
but only like one though so we can still speculate other characters

Oof. I assumed everyone on that list gave explicit support to Ashley. I don't think you should be on the list if that's not the case. It's only fair to you, and it would be misleading to do otherwise.

My apologies about that. I have removed you from the list, and thank you for letting me know about my mistake.

I'm late to the party to say this, but 4chan's /v/ has threads where people are insisting that Ashley and K. Rool were shown as assists in the stream last night. THEY WERE NOT. Don't believe anything until you see official proof from Nintendo themselves. Screenshots can easily be faked.

It was the same build used in E3 right? I didn't see anything different.

From what little I saw, they like Ike. And that one Ike player almost be IC but the time ran out, and lost at sudden death.

aah thanks for the heads up

so has anyone heard any news about smash or anything? I heard from the other day that Nintendo is putting more content for Mario kart 8 deluxe, possibly new characters?

I mean there is another tournament/stream thing next week at the same time. But realistically nothing will be revealed there.

As for the Mario Kart 8 content, I think it was just more Labo support. But I could be mistaken. If there were new characters I would pray for Ashley to be there as well.

What else can they do with the labo in MK8?

They're going to add the ability to put that little cardboard antenna on your Switch and act like you're controlling a remote-control Mario Kart.
A mode where a player plays as lakitu and uses the labo fishing rod to control it.

Don't be ridiculous. Nintendo would never let us play as Lakitu in a Mario Kart game.

But you know what isn't ridiculous? Robot functionality. Each step with the Robot backpack is pressing the acceleration button once, so you have to keep sprinting in place for the game to think you're holding the button down. And you have to waggle your body left and right to steer. Also, the only way to drift is to crouch, so you have to learn how to run in place while crouching. Punch to use an item.

(I would pay good money to see someone play Mario Kart like that, honestly...)

Edit: (Just in case anyone didn't know, I was being silly in this post. DonkaFjord, that was a pretty clever Labo idea.)

None of them are all that notable if I'm being honest, all of them are slight variations of each other.
The most notable one to me is the one that says that "King" and "Ponytail" will be announced this month, and that's not even because it's reliable. I just think it's funny that someone pretending to be a leaker didn't even have the guts to officially come out and say who's being announced when.

Dumbest way I've tried to guage Ashley's popularity yet. She has 2142 plays on that Anikator Genie game.

To compare, Bandana Dee has 2400, Isaac has 4000, And Isabelle has a whopping 15000.

Edit: MONA HAS 1009!! SHE DID IT, FELLAS!!

How reliable is this guy?
Last time I questioned the guy we got the JP intro and the EU Demo (I believe the tweet in question was something like "We'll be getting new Warioware Gold info this week!" or something along those lines). I don't know if he knows things or is just good at guessing based on previous trends. He's also been saying things about another Wario Land being revealed in July. His timeline for July in general is really interesting.

There are a few people who stream using a Dance Dance Revolution dance pad to play normal games (they use it as a D-pad.)
I like how you had to edit in that it was a joke haha.

if he's right about the direct, then i'd assume they'd at least do a small segment for smash, mabye a character reveal, I really think they should reveal a character each month until release, it would make for a great way to maintain hype, and hey if they're doing Wario themed reveals in this direct, it would only make sense to reveal a certain someone we all know.

You would think that they would mention a new Wario Land at e3, but who knows. If there is a direct I would assume it would mostly focus on new info for things like Luigi’s Mansion and Super Mario Party, as well as Warioware Gold and maybe that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe stuff they mentioned.

Those games may have had stuff not make it into the e3 presentation in order to maximize room for smash bros. Speaking of which literally all those games are related to Wario or Mario in someway. So it would be a Golden opirtunity for Ashley.
