Anyway back to the direct, I wonder,

the announcement doesn’t say new fighter but updates on smash. I wonder if this means something like an Echo Pass they made in the spare time because Nintendo needed more content with the pandemic

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Just saw Revenge Of The Sith, currently on my way to kill a group of kids with a bean sword because Anakin was hot.

Fair point. Lemme grab my sword too and i'll join you

I honestly think it’d be lame if they specifically call out Smash and then don’t reveal a new character.

Hell, they can announce and echo pass or whatever after the reveal. But give me a character dammit!

Honestly, Nintendo knows people are gonna expect a character reveal if they say “Smash update”. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a reveal

 

[Hadokeyblade]

When direct?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Can I have Muramasa on Switch, please? Ive been good

 

[Deleted member]

When direct?

In less than an hour and a half.

Gonna watch It on my PS4.

I would love for that and showing Octoling as the first in response to Inkling being the first newcomer of Ultimate given Splatoon is going down as one of Nintendo's most popular and recognizable IPs in modern gaming and generation.

 

[MooMew64]

Noipoi I know you mentioned me, but I'm on a Nintendo info break until after the Direct, lol.

Also, no audio reactions this time, but if peeps wanna see my in the moment reactions, I'll be on the Smashboards Discord server in just a bit! I'd appreciate if people didn't bring up spoilers, though.

 

[KingBooGengar57]

I have to wait till 5pm to watch the direct. Time zones are bull****!

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Worst thing I hate about the directs: half my body goes haywire before it all happens. The tension is building mentally and I both love and hate the feeling. Love the feeling of excitement and hate the worry in case something goes wrong.

Also bought some Dr Pepper for the Direct. Nothing like a good drink. I'll like ya's and leaves ya's until after the Direct. I'll only message if something goes wrong.

Enjoy my friends and I'll talk after.

Yep, just like how Joker glorified and inspired killers/mass shooters instead of oh, I don’t know...
news networks that plaster the name, face and manifesto of shooters across the nation within minutes after it happens. Despite experts saying that it absolutely inspires others.

Modern Media in a nutshell to be honest.

In less than an hour and a half.

Gonna watch It on my PS4.

Watching it on PS4 as well but being paranoid in case it screws up or something.

Holy **** Total Drama Island is coming back:

https://twitter.com/AwestruckVox/status/1362102986877583361?s=20

I was shocked to see it. I thought they were finished making seasons.

There's also a promo that was apparently found online of the contestants up next:

Spoiler

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/648202933619654666/811689999279718440/EucvLTTVgAIpJk8.png

If one were to study the promo and make out the silhouettes, the characters coming back are: Ennui, Crimson, Lindsay, Beth, Owen, Ryan, Lightning, Harold, Alejandro, Heather, Max, and one more contestant between Beth and Owen in which I'm not able to determine.

I'm hoping the clever writing for the first three seasons and ridonculus race returns, because revenge through pahkitew were some dark times. I also heard Ramarama or whatever it is, is pretty forgettable. So, we'll see.

The Nintendo Direct will open with this:

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Hmmm... so, the more I learn about the new Total Drama seasons, the murkier it gets.

The promo image I found shows various past characters. However, the source from WarnerMedia is saying that the cast is "updated." This would probably imply that the characters will be all new, yes?

 

[Noipoi]

1 Hour remains

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Now, for the promo image I found, it was featured on the Total Drama facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TotalDrama/

Despite past contestants being in the background of the image, the post says new cast. So, it seems like it will certainly be a new cast at this point.

Something something original Majora Mask joke.

Oh, well.

With good writing, it could still be entertaining.

I'm really hoping it's good, cause me being asleep sounds better by the moment.

 

[KingBooGengar57]

Something something something Final Fantasy IV

Something something something FFII in the west

 

[Deleted member]

Gonna be offline Up until the Direct ends so I can get myself to relax a bit while I watch It.

See ya'll later you legends!

 

[Metal Shop X]

I'm really hoping it's good, cause me being asleep sounds better by the moment.

We're both in this hell, brother, let's both hope for the best.

 

[Deleted member]

Pipe dream for the Direct:
a new Capcom vs SNK game. Ideally even Capcom vs SNK vs Namco. It's criminal how the only Namco x Capcom game was a Japan only RPG. Well, there's Project X Zone, but that's an RPG, too.

 

[Wario Bros.]

The wait is killing me!

 

[Metal Shop X]

Oyasumi Oooooooyasumi

The last hour is always the woooooooorst!~~~

 

[Blargg888]

Hello there.

how would that be lame? It doesnt say "new fighter" so anyone hoping for a fighting and it probably not being there is gonna be mad and thats on them

My prediction is that they'll announce the date of the next character reveal, but not who the character is. If I'm right, then fine, but if I'm wrong, and they do announce the next character, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Aurane]

My prediction is that the monster energy I'm drinking will keep me in this reality long enough for me to watch the direct.

Also, why did I even buy this? I hate monster. ****.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Oh, well.

With good writing, it could still be entertaining.

I hope so. Ridonculus Race was good but is an outlier with "modern" seasons (and by modern, I mean after season 3.)

Island is the original and still has charm in the present. World Tour has the most polish of the seasons imo and has the greatest redemption arc of the entire show in Heather, going from main villain in Island to unlikely hero/anti-hero in World Tour and taking down big bad Alejandro after 20-something grueling legs. And, while Action tends to be the black sheep of the original trilogy due to slow plot pacing and a few character derailments, there are enough interesting story points and character improvements to be a decent season overall.

But, you could tell the writers began running out of ideas in Revenge. And, All-Stars is painfully poorly written and Pahkitew is mostly forgettable. I haven't seen Ramarama so there's no opinion, but not a lot seem to enjoy that season. Thankfully, Ridonculus Race aired soon after Pahkitew, and the clever OG trilogy writing returned. It's a diamond in the rough and shows that the new seasons COULD revive the series, but we'll see.

While RR shows a sign that they could get their mojo back, I'm honestly still skeptical because of how Revenge was average, Pahkitew was forgettable, and All-Stars and Ramarama tend to get lots of hate, and for good reason (at least on the All-Stars front. I can't comment on Ramarama).

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Almost a half hour away! Last minute hopes and dreams?

 

[Lamperouge]

Yo, think we'll see any Nintendo games in this *****???

 

[Wario Bros.]

No More Heroes III would be nice (though I still need to beat Travis Strikes Again).

 

[Aurane]

Yo, think we'll see any Nintendo games in this *****???

Nah, that **** dead.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

I'll throw in a quick TD season ranking, why not?

1. Island
2. World Tour
---
3. RR
4. Action
---
5. Revenge
---
6. Pahkitew
---
7. All-Stars

I'd probably split the tiers in this way. Seasons 1 and 3 are the best ones due to the writing being just that strong overall, if not without hiccups. RR and Action are pretty good, but could've used more polish. Revenge has a few spots of brilliance but is mostly middle of the road. I forget most of Pahkitew. All-Stars is absolutely pathetic and I wish that season was wiped from the face of the planet.

Namco X Capcom remastered is a true pipe dream

Revenge of the Island was okay. Other than Scott having too much control, I didn't have problems with it. And while I used to watch Dramarama, it eventually lost me.

World Tour is where the franchise peaked IMO. I don't expect these new seasons to reach its quality, but I hope they'll still have likeable characters and great moments.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Half an hour!

I wanna see Mario

 

[Aurane]

**** man, idk what I wanna see.

Just show it to me and I'll figure it out from there.
