It's totally Ridley, the Xenoblade people are under Sakurai's mind control so that they tweet everything and make you think it's Shulk and then BAM RIDLEY!
While I think we can probably rule out the possibility of mind control, I think it is possible that the reveal may end up being someone other than Shulk. The tweets are pretty telling signs, but Sakurai is pretty unpredictable, and we've read evidence about newcomer reveals wrong before.

Well, apparently there've been like 3 retweets of sakurai's announcement from xenoblade people...

so probably not Ridley.

(Slightly unrelated)But I really don't get why people think it's Chrom, nothing against him getting into Smash 4, but unless he has some ground breaking new mechanic like Little Mac, or a diverse moveset like Mii Fighters and Palutena, I really really don't see him getting hyped, but some people think he is, can someone please explain, what am I missing?

I'll happily take Shulk or Chorus men, even if I personally don't think Chorus men is worth the hype.

My Money's on Shulk or Ridley, but seems more like Shulk now

For the same reason some people think it's Ridley
they want the character

Referring to Ridley and Shulk in the same reveal trailer.

If only this was actually possible. :c

Until then I'll keep dreaming.

And YouTube always counts down to livestreams like that.
Oh. I've never watched a Yotube livestream before, so I was unaware. Still, it IS a countdown nonetheless, just not the most exciting kind.
So what would you guys do if the PotD Monday before the announcement was on the pyrosphere

xD
I'd feel like Sakurai was kicking puppies. And we were the puppies.:troll:

Ridley vs Shulk, I'd buy it lol

Saying that, maybe we get a veteran reveal as well (seems unlikely though)

No, don't take it out on her. Make a Sakurai Mii, then we can all have our fun. :demon:
Not a bad idea but it means that I would have to buy the game if Ridley isn't playable, which is not happening.

If Ridley is playable tough then I will have some Ridley & Sakurai VS Samus & Pikachu battles, I like that idea =D

Buh, buh, but what if someone could predict Sakurai, but using his insane powers of Masahiro Unpredictable, he rewrites reality so that never happened. And can never happen again.:awesome:

I'm kinda nervous for Mondays PotD, if it is Pyrosphere/Metroid related in general i feel like my hopes are going to go up even more for it being Ridley, just to be let down hard if it turns out to be Shulk (not that he wouldn't be a cool character)

If Ridley is not revealed in the trailer:



(I am aware of the whole PotD's not relating to trailer content, for those that thought I wasn't, I'll still be perturbed though)

@ BlueBubbee BlueBubbee is this acceptable?



:awesome:

I really don't think it will be Shulk, only because that's what everyone expects. Sakurai NEVER does what everyone expects. If there's a lot of evidence for the announcment to be Shulk, it's evidence that it's anyone but Shulk in my mind. I still doubt it's Ridley, maybe just because that would be too good to be true, so my money's on one of the other two gematsu characters.

That'll be my reaction regardless to who's revealed.

If it's Ridley, it'll be a boo-yah moment.

If it's gematsu, it'll be a dammit moment

suffice to say, it will certainly make for an interesting staff meeting.

Probably it will just be a random pic of Kirby shi**ing rainbows.

I honestly wouldn't put much thought into it. The PotDs before a character announcement don't really connect to the newcomer in question.
Remember the Pic of the Day on the day of the SSB4 Direct?
Pikachu on a Normal Box, a Future Box beside it, and a Present Box beside that.
Pokemon Veteran in :4charizard:, Newcomer in :4greninja:, and release windows/Smash Run.
Sakurai knows what he's doing. ;)

Hmm yeah I'm really not betting on it being Ridley. I feel like Ridley's reveal was planned for over a year. The exact way he would announce him. Sakurai's post implies that they won't have enough directs in between now and release to reveal all the newcomers they want to before launch. So they got this little "reveal" together super quick for Monday. Ridley is either secret or in August direct.

Hey you stole my name for him.
Consider it borrowed unethically.
Hey cool! The direct is on my country's national da-




Also, Sakurai TOLD US we would get a new character, not getting what we want is gonna be a huge punch in the stomach...
I meant gaming related importance, but yeah a country's national day is important for reveals too...
Maybe he just wanted to spice up how boring Mondays are for pic O'days...

Edit: Happy (early) Bastille Day (am I correct about that being the name?) to France.

So what if the reason we are getting a newcomer out of the blue is that sakurai gave up on trying to hype Ridley and really wants to end all the arguments right away.
