"Oh yeah its all coming together"
I’m going to actually take this a step further.

The characters are Min Min and Mewtwo on the Boxing Ring stage.

Mewtwo is a legendary Pokémon and Min-Min is a fighter.

What big promotional new fighting legendary did we just get with a gimmick built for smash?

Just a thought. Especially because they could reuse the Incenroar trailer for this and save even more time and resources.

One thing I wonder is, even if the character is revealed tomorrow, if they will actually release this month.


Yeah, we've pretty much gotten reveals/releases extremely close together since Byleth... with one caveat, MinMin, who was the last character revealed in a Direct.... sorta.


And then you look back and realize that so far, none of our DLC characters revealed in proper Directs have dropped shortly after their reveals(Unlike say, characters revealed via Sakurai presents: Byleth, Steve, etc).


Also, Amiibo Theory still exists and has been correct for every character thus far, and is still pinning mid-late March/early April for release.
I mean we absolutely get the release in March no question. They will probably give us a full trailer and tell us to look forward to the presentation in March.

Ignoring shields would be a garbage ****ing gimmick and you know it

That’s not what I was thinking. I’m talking about switching between the fighting styles of Urshifu. Making both forms one character. Sure it taking some creative liberties but would work and could be unique enough.

You say that, but:

Steve(October) > Sephiroth(December) > This character being revealed in Feb.


Let's entertain the potential that this character drops somehow this month, that would mean our last 3 DLC characters all came within 2 months of one another.

If this wound up the case I would not be surprised if there’s a fighter pass 3 that’s already underway and they’ve just been ahead on pass 2 more then we know

Nicktoon Question time: Do people actually like Doug enough to want him as a playable character in a crossover game? I always stick him in there because he was the first Nicktoon.... but like... especially since you'd have to license him from Disney now... is it even worth it? Like, are people gonna complain if he's not there?

I know shields are an important thing for competitive smash but personally I think it would be a neat thing to experiment with(within reason, obviously you shouldn’t be able to break an entire shield with a jab attack, but it would be interesting to see a character that does extra damage while a character has a shield up, for example) in a similar way to how most of the dlc characters thus far have taken the game design in new and interesting ways(Hero with his down B, Min Min with long arms, Steve with his building mechanic, etc)

I love Doug.

Half due to actually liking the show


Half due to memes, and Vinny's portrayal of Mr.Dink being a creep.

But do you like him enough that his lack of presence in a Nicktoons crossover game would bring down the experience?
No, not really. Ren and Stimpy are kinda in the same boat. They're iconic Nicktoons, but.... adult party cartoon happened, and then their creator's probably a pedo so hard to divorce them from that.

So I got distracted by having to do some things today to put in my thoughts regarding tomorrow's Direct. (seems I can't type today). Plus I'm only on laptop to post this and watch Wonder Egg Priority.

Anyways Prediction time!

1. Of course once again, my near seven year combo of having not missed a proper Nintendo Direct/Smash Reveal continues (I'm a simple guy, leave me alone) with a perfect 10pm slot for my timezone. Bunch of Zoom meetings means my ass will have to get up earlier than usual so I'll be tired.

2. Feels like we aren't going to see many new game announcements it feels like. Something like Mario Golf or a new Kirby game (Dream Course remake please) would be a nice June release from Nintendo.

3. My hopeful curveball prediction? Persona 4 Golden for Switch announced and shadowdropped after.

4. Think we will see a few more games join the cloud versions. Maybe Watch Dogs Legion and Final Fantasy XIV I can see being plausible.

5. Smash Bros my gut feeling is that it will take under 10 minutes of screentime. As for who..............Crash or first party.

6. Nothing from Monolith Soft. I hate myself but I'm preparing that eventuality it.

7. Separate Pokemon AND Zelda directs announced at the end.

I think these are plausible.

Yeah, so hopefully you all have a good evening tomorrow.

I need some sleep
Well there are benefits to not having much of a social life and being introverted. Means less likelihood of missing these.

At least with Ren and Stimpy Nick still owns the copyright so throwing one of them in there to appease a small group of people isn't that bad. But having to licence Doug from another company,......

Oh my god it's literally Geno vs. K.Rool/Ridley

How do they own the copyright if Adult Party Cartoon existed?

Didn’t he get acquired by Disney? Or was it the other way around?

Didn’t Sakurai literally say FP2 was the end?

Luckily for me, in Portugal time the Direct is in this sweetspot where it's late enough to be past "time to actually do anything" hours but early enough to not be "I gotta *ing go to bed for *'s sake" hours

He said something among the lines of “I’m just focusing on the current fighters we have to make right now with no plans atm for more”

Which was over a year ago.Not to mention they also told us FP1 was it I am pretty sure. Which obviously wasn’t the case
