When do you think we will get new Smash news before E3? if we even get any news before E3 at all?

Especially given the invitational at E3. I doubt they'd send people into that blind.In two days, it will have been a full month since the reveal of Smash Switch, with complete radio silence the whole time. I'm sure we'll get something before E3. Going that long with absolutely no news wouldn't really make sense.
Actually, the Pic of the Day was often used to announce the return of veterans. While newcomers got big exciting trailers, veterans were often revealed by Sakurai posting a pic on Miiverse saying "hey, this guy's back! Ain't that exciting?"as well as the Screenshot of the Day on Miiverse (which didn't announce things, but kept people engaged).
Oh yeah, you're right! I forgot about that, but looking back, that is what happened. So then maybe they'll do something similar on Twitter now? Like, they announce a newcomer, and then take to Twitter to say that a veteran is coming, too!Actually, the Pic of the Day was often used to announce the return of veterans.

Yeah, I could see them using Twitter now. Or maybe they'd make their own website for it like they did for Brawl, and not have to depend on something like Miiverse or anything.Oh yeah, you're right!

Also, side note - three of the five newcomers in your signature are three of the ones I want most, too. You have good taste!
Ooh, that could be cool! The Smash Bros. site HAS already been updated to show off the Switch trailer and tentative logo, so once we get more information and the site gets updated, perhaps they’ll add a section like the Dojo had.Yeah, I could see them using Twitter now.

Also, nice! I'm curious as to which ones you're rooting for too.
The Dojo had its benefits because every time it updated, you knew that it was something new, whether it be a character, an item, a stage, or whatever. The Pic of the Day was just whatever Sakurai felt like posting most of the time. But the Pic of the Day was obviously much more frequent, which made it much more exciting.Ooh, that could be cool!

Specifically Rex and Pyra, Isaac, and Joker. They’re some of my most wanted newcomers!
Keep in mind that the first trailer was meant to get people excited and talking, hence why the only thing that actually represented Smash was the logo towards the end, catching people off guard. The next time Smash shows up, it'll almost definitely be with gameplay, and future trailers will probably work like 4's, with animated trailers, followed by gameplay showing how they are in-game.But I believe that the updates would be very limited if at all. If all the trailers are in the same tone as the first one the trailers would say very little and very (if any) game play shown.
This makes me think, I used to be a doubter of any news before the E3 presentation, but the announcement of the tournament made me update my expectations that we'd get some news before. But your mention of the 2015 Smash Direct seems relevant: while we might technically get Smash news before the E3 presentation, it may also be right before the invitational, and the closest thing to the "no news before E3" hypothesis I used to expect.I'm actually surprised we haven't heard anything else yet. It's been a month.
I remember last time there was a special Direct right before E3, so they might do the same here. I'd guess they need to announce a few more vets before the Invitational, but you know that this is the major news at E3 this year.
Could be interesting to see who are the major hype reveals that they'll do at E3...
I need some news soon; it's driving me nuts.
