The Official OMG Tonight Prediction Thread

[SiegK]

You know Sakurai is just mind-gaming everyone yet again, and the real Dec. 3 update will be tomorrow.





Right?

Omg your right. He never actually said there would be an update 2day...just to make us think there would be and then His Master Plan was to get us all down and SPRING it on us 2morrow! Your a Genius!

 

[SinisterLizard]

Considering my extreme love for smash, I've been taking the delay pretty well.

But you know what I just realized?

It's Dec 3rd. He still has THIS on his site.

That really, really, gets me pissed.

I mean Mother-

I agree. You think they'd at least cover that up or something...Pretend that never happened...

 

[SiegK]

You might also think that that would put something in place of the game's original release date.

 

[Dogenzaka]

EXACTLY what i thought

I hope you guys realize that the stuff on the Dojo is only a small percentage of the total game.
How many of you knew of a stage-builder, or Melee stages releasing, or a Pictochat stage when E 4 All went on?

Yeah. That's what I thought. Yes we are getting superbly crappy updates, but that doesn't mean the game is lacking content.

If anything, from today's update, it looks like they could have possible improved the online combat, (G4 said that's why they delayed the game, and frankly, if they did delay the game to improve online play, I'm completely behind Sakki), and hopefully it's not laggy.

 

[SiegK]

Yeah. That's what I thought. Yes we are getting superbly crappy updates, but that doesn't mean the game is lacking content.

Yous missing the point my friend. We arnt saying the game is going to be bad cause of these updates or that the game is lacking content. We're saying we could go for some better updates. And Why did you mention the good ones that we liked. Umm We liked the Melee Stages, and we Love the stage builder (picto-chat can suck my ballz). And this update I think is pretty cool and I like it.

But we can all agree that we would much rather of had this update 2morrow and an epic one tonight because tonight was the original release date. We were going to be playing Brawl... Maybe right now if GameStops had a 12:00 selling.
He could have at leaset filled us with something in place of that.

 

[Bassoonist]

He didn't do it for the Japanese, so why for us?

Here's hoping we'll at least see some new character information (or at least veterans) this month.

It was a worldwide release b4 why didnt he do the same for Japanese?

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Thank god I went to sleep and never stayed up. Wasn't excited, as I wasn't expecting much.

It was a worldwide release b4 why didnt he do the same for Japanese?

It wasn't worldwide.

Btw, even though that's harmless ignorance, it's so annoying.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Double posts really do not exist.

 

[Zorya]

Do you all think Sakurai is gonna pee in our dinners after this one??

 

[SiegK]

Do you all think Sakurai is gonna pee in our dinners after this one??

...Im Sorry, what?

 

[IsmaR]

He's very pissed..

 

[Sasha]

"Real men use items"! Haha! I love Sakurai!

 

[courte]

ok you all read the report by the mods explaining how sakurai makes these updates in month long bundles and then sends them out in advance to be translated

PERHAPS THIS WAS INTENDED TO HELP SOME PEOPLE who couldn't figure out how to make their online work when they came home and finished subspace early this morning

i mean i would certainly like to think he would have taken the date and its significance to us into account but honestly developing a game this big forgetting something like this can't be that big on his radar when hes trying to DIRECT AND DESIGN an awesome game

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Looks like logic is the victor once again.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH 777]

yep i can see it peach's castle is the next update

 

[SiegK]

yep i can see it peach's castle is the next update

That would be cool. But I could go for Luigi too.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH 777]

That would be cool. But I could go for Luigi too.

then how about Peach's Castle and Luigi
a double mario update.......good idea no?

 

[Uchiha.Sanosuke]

then how about Peach's Castle and Luigi
a double mario update.......good idea no?

Not a bad idea at all...I'd really like either update, but both together would be pretty epic.

 

[Chi's Finest]

I could just go for ANY update that we didn't know about or assume already.

 

[Professor X]

I'm still trying to devise an experiment to test this, but here's my working hypothesis:

Everyone who is complaining about the "quality" of the updates, if they were to have their way, would be the first people to sign on after the game's release and claim too much has been spoiled beforehand.

This is a marketing gimmick! Do I expect commericials not to be loud and annoying? Then why do you expect the updates to be regular, revealing, and informative?

I'm not trying to "whine about whiners;" y'all can go on whining for all I care. I just don't think you really have any basis for your assumptions beyond your own desires and meaningless "patterns."

 

[gamer8]

When I saw today's update... you should have seen how angry I was... wtf were they thinking?1?!? I was pissed off, tomorrow I'll DIE if we get a how to...

 

[Repryx]

BAD UPDATE Sakurai has annoyed me now...

 

[HourglassMemory]

Well, look on the bright side, according to the 'theory' that's been out there, this month should be better than november. It could include characters.
Or not!
Have you people thought about the possibility that any more "cool stuff" that would make "cool updates"is being kept secret until the game comes out? At least, in Japan!
Man! If you want all the cool stuff revealed then you're going to be left with what? a few secret stages and characters when you buy the game?
Man, just be patient!
Just be glad the entire year of 2007 is basically gone and now you have only few months to go through.
We've all been through an entire year AND a delay, 3 months won't hurt.

I'm a bit annoyed at the update, and you know why? I expected too much, I had my standarts way too high.
Friend list? For me, not caring much about online in smash brothers, it particularly annoyed me. It was more useless than an item for me. I'll very rarely use these things.

From now on I'll expect crappy updates. So I'll either think, there you go another crappy update, or I'll go totally bonkers with a character revelation or something.

Just keep your standards low from now on. That's my advice.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH 777]

i can't belive that i missed a day from school for a stupied update
sakurai is going to pay for this

 

[blayde_axel]

This is totally off topic, but why did Legolastom get banned? Did it have to do with the whole Ridley thing?

And yeah... pretty bad update. He's treating us like idiots. lol. I mean, even if this is the first online game people play, they can figure it out on their own.

 

[SirroMinus1]

whos fault is that. you guys were acting like he said it himself that you will get a special update because today was spose to be the date brawl comes out.
you should know not to trust him completely bye this time.

yes and because he was saying rude things and things like that
but i guess the main thing was because of the Ridley thing

You skipped school for an update?
That's just silly, I'm sorry.


Anyway, this update left a bad taste in my mouth alongside the widescreen option update. Why does Sakurai feel it important to add things that should be explained in the game manual alone to us? It's like like none of us have ever seen an "Options" menu while playing a videogame before.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

There shouldn't be any need for 'trust' when 'common sense' should have been permanently documented in your brain and rationalize the situation accordingly. Instead, they dash away common sense, and hope for a miracle because the past wasn't as bright, thus developing a theory that the future holds promises . A game delay isn't a memorial celebration; it's a prolonging.

Seriously Brawl Boards...

Quit being stupid.

 

[blayde_axel]

Seriously Brawl Boards...

Quit being stupid.

This should go to all the theories towards the updates. Seriously. There's no plausible pattern we could think of.

3-0-3-0 newcomers makes no sense at all. FYI, the only month they had three newcomers in were October!

He doesn't need to leave us something earth-shattering on Friday's.

Or Thursday's

Or AMERICAN holidays.

Or holidays, in general.

 

[Gennie]

Looking for Isaac's confirmation in tomorrow's update, you know, dreaming is allowed )':

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

3-0-3-0 newcomers makes no sense at all. FYI, the only month they had three newcomers in were October!

"Newcomers" in terms of this theory, are the characters new to the series we didn't already know about from the first trailer.

IDk if your dissing me because you said it in such a smart way. im not the one mad about the update. this kid missed school for an update not ssbb itself but an update thats not common sense

 

[Ianthraxx]

"Newcomers" in terms of this theory, are the characters new to the series we didn't already know about from the first trailer.

I guess if you make the theory arbitrary enough, things will start to fit it eventually...

And what the hell? Kids are skipping school to look at updates? What's wrong with you people??

 

[blayde_axel]

"Newcomers" in terms of this theory, are the characters new to the series we didn't already know about from the first trailer.

Wow. Ok. lol. Still seems silly.

 

[Nj Hudz]

worst update ever.

 

[ssbmaster2007]

I was hoping for a much better update today, you know, being the day Brawl was supposed to be released, up until October 11th...

But it isn't that bad, a week from now, it will be just two more months until Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out and we can actually play it rather than reading updates about it.

It's already less than ten weeks until February 10th, less than seventy days and it will be out in store shelves, it is just a little longer, just think how long we've already been waiting, in comparison, this is a brief time more to have to wait.

But, I must say, I hope he will at least give a nice update for December 25th, but judging by today's little letdown, that may well not happen.

Think on the bright side, at least the starting roster will be revealed on December 15th, I wonder who will be unlockable that we know of, and if there is a starting character or two that hasn't been confirmed yet.

This is the advantage of living in a country with two school schedules. Wait all night/wake up in the morning just to see a new update. Bahahahaha!

Sometimes, living in Mexico has its benefits. Fascinante...

 

[Stryks]

Amen eagle, living in mexico kicks major *** XD

anyway this update is dissapointing in levels I can simply express... no megaman? wtf?!
