Getting a reveal around X-mas time I feel isn't completely unreasonable. The character will likely not be released for a while if it is. But keep in mind so far with FP2 the characters were released relatively close to their reveal. (discounting the Arms hint that is) and the way Nintendo's been handling announcements this year I feel these characters won't be revealed until they are essentially 99% finished. So far both Min Min and Steve were pretty complicated characters for Sakurai and based off of what he's said the other characters in this pass are not far off in terms of the workload they bring into development.

I reckon the next character will likely be shown off in February at the earliest. Which could lead to an eventual reveal around e3 time, maybe a double reveal if circumstances line up properly.
Sighs. I guess it’s too much to hope for. But it would still be really nice.

Though I doubt Crash or Geno would be as complicated as Min Min and Steve so....

I don't mind Min Min's inclusion, but man I hate her playstyle. It's just mashing buttons over and over. One of the lamest characters in the game, bottom 3 in that regard.
As someone that plays Min Min, mashing buttons is just going to get you into trouble against better players.

Anyone else excited for this?
Impractical? Yes. I just think it's neat really.

Considering I only go to social threads and this is way more than the 3rd time I saw you. Yeah. Definitely an imposter.

As the spaghetti is done.

The one good thing about Christmas creep is that it gets them to put Holiday Eggnog on the shelves earlier.

I see her as a sort of trap character. She doesn't have the best mobility and her neutral, while it has clear strengths, is flawed, but she can crush you with insane pressure when she gets you off stage or in the corner. Kind of like Zelda.

Honestly she was the most boring dlc fighter so far for me.

I don't know if it's because I just don't care about Arms but she didn't leave any impact on me at all.

I'm kinda thinking a reveal about once every 100 or so days. That'd give us one around Jan-Feb, April, sometime in Summer and fall.


I'm not sold on the April one, due to it being close to E3, but at the same time, if we get a reveal in Jan/Feb, I can't see them going 4-5 months with nothing.

Since I've got a backlog of games I need to play (and of course finish) and now's a spooky month, I'm thinking about starting a poll.

Every game on said poll is guaranteed to be spooky in some way or another, even if it's not outright Horror (though there's definitely going to be a few horror games on the list).

In other words, this thread might decide which spooky game I play next.

I played more sunshine and I thought it was only 10 blue coins a level? I have 12 from Bianca hills right now.

Alright, we're doing this. Vote on which spooky game I should play next in celebration of the month!


(And to clarify, yes, I haven't played any of these yet).

Right now I'm playing Hollow Knight.

I've said before that I don't usually finish Metroidvanias, but I'm starting to feel pretty good about this one. For some reason I'm not getting that frustrated when I get lost, and I haven't had to look up any guides at any point. There's just something about this game.

Crappiest thing just happened to me on Dark Souls 3.

I made a mad dash to my 40,000+ Souls, ring of sacrifice equipped, through a TON of enemies but I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO THE SOULS...

but when I tried to pick them up my character just emoted and I died and lost all of them.

Honestly I think that may have just killed my inspiration to play the game...

Well well, heard this was the new Social Thread.

Guess I know what thread to check if I want to drop by sometime.

Wademan94 Wademan94 xD I have been meaning to doodle this for a while, because your Futaba Cream is just too adorable, and I love my Nameless King Silver, but it took me a while to get motivated enough, but after seeing some wholesome stuff prior, I finally could. x'D I don't know why I imagine Silver getting a lot of candies by scaring the crap out of others with lightning and evil eyes, and then giving it all to her.

It's the end of the final Mr. Sakurai Presents video. He looks towards the camera, and sighs.

"Well, that's it. [X Character] finally joins the battle! But we still have one more thing for you."

This appears on the screen.

"It appears we have a few late arrivals. But I think we can squeeze them in."

What's your reaction?
I'd be a little upset if Rex wasn't among the last remaining characters in FP2 and they opted instead to give us Octolings and (groan) another Pokemon over him as bonus fighters.

Not too big on Dixie Kong but at least I could understand her inclusion, and Impa would be pretty cool. I'm pretty indifferent overall, though.
