Depends on whether or not you're talking about when you're forced to play it as 9-Volt himself.

Honestly, it’s fun for me no matter who I play, whether or not a character can fly. It’s really thrilling to run through as Kat, since you need pitch perfect timing for every jump. Makes me want a feature like this in Mario Maker 3.

 

[Wademan94]

What’s missing?

Mostly a couple up attacks for Milotic and Spiritomb and some taunts and victory animations for all three (Garchomp)

Gimme the specifics and I’ll toss out some ideas.

Up tilt and up smash for Spiritomb, Up aerial and forward aerial for Milotic, and side taunts for both and Garchomp. Also trying to figure out 9 victories for all of them

 

[Noipoi]

Up tilt and up smash for Spiritomb, Up aerial and forward aerial for Milotic, and side taunts for both and Garchomp. Also trying to figure out 9 victories for all of them

Spiritomb up tilt: It summons a ball of energy above it and swings it’s head from left to right, with the energy ball following.

Spiritomb up smash: It retreats into the odd keystone, flips upside down, and pops back out. Thrusting the odd keystone upwards.

Milotic up aerial: Milotic spins, swatting anyone above it with its tail.

Milotic forward aerial: Milotic twirls, slapping anyone in front of it with its tail.

Taunts:
Spiritomb retreats into the odd keystone, which violently shakes for a moment, before it pops back out.

Milotic fans itself with its tail in a haughty manner.

Garchomp slashes it’s claws in an X formation.

I’ll come up with victory screens later

Shroob

my man

I gotta ask an honest question

How dangerous is being on the internet gonna be tomorrow for the reveal Tuesday morning

'cause Tehponycorn's got me nervous about Imran or Jeff Grubb trying to spill the beans

I mean, we haven't had a legitimate leak since Steve, and he only leaked like 30 minutes before his presentation.


I'd be very surprised if there was a giga-leak.

Honestly I’m going to be surprised if leakers actually know the character and/or they spoil it. I could see them avoiding it due to it being the last character and if it’s not a crowd pleaser then the leakers probably don’t want the salt and hate they would get.

Also it could be a champions and master chief scenario where they are flat out wrong.

I mean, Verg still leaked Byleth even though Byleth wasn't a "Crowd pleaser", it was just like, literally 5 mins before the Direct.

It'll leak if people get their hands on the info, otherwise, it'll remain hidden.

Zebras are just white or black horses painted with white or black paint.

Probably should have tagged osby in retrospect

From 19th century Japanese lit, all I can think of is Natsume Souseki. And while I recommend his work, I don't think they have whatyou're looking for. Maybe I am a Cat?

God, the AA Wraith in Halo 3 is so much fun to use, especially in Firefight. Bless 343 for bringing it into a position where it won’t blow up when you kill the driver.

One more day until the last DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is announced.
Whether you're a Smash Bros. player or simply love games, make sure to tune in!https://t.co/gV1B8eYROw

— 桜井 政博 / Masahiro Sakurai (@Sora_Sakurai) October 4, 2021

Sakurai has been hyping the hell out of this, more than anything else.

His phrasing here implies the character is someone big to gaming that even casual people could enjoy due to their legacy.

Japanese tweet also mentions how we may or may not know this character but not any other versions.

That part could mean nothing, but perhaps this is a big Western Rep who has a strong legacy behind them.

Or just a strong character in general for legacy.

Which I’m just saying, Sora, Master Chief, Doom etc, kinda of all fit that bill.

Man it’s gonna be really hard for me working during the presentation. I think I can time my lunch break to catch the first half hour of it. Any more then that I do not know.

If the character isn't super well-known in Japan, that'd be a huge knock against Sora or Crash, just saying.

So who're you maining in NASB? I'm maining Leonardo but I think I'll try out Aang too. I'm probably gonna wait a while to play the game. Let it iron out some of the kinks, so to speak. But it does have potential at least.

Aside from that, when the new Smash character drops, I'll try to get the Season Pass finally, but I still might wait a bit.

Outside of game stuff, there's some personal project stuff I'm working on, that I hope will go well for me.

I got Toph. Might pick up Zim too. Y’know. Assuming the game is good and I buy it.

And good luck on that project!

Now I gotta get to sleep. It’s the last day of smash speculation Bros. Let’s enjoy it!

[Guh-Huzzah!]

His phrasing here implies the character is someone big to gaming that even casual people could enjoy due to their legacy.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really see him implying anything here. Sounds more like a general sort of "hey y'all, check out what we've been working on!" to me.

Or those that know/have known for a while and just don't say anything.

I can assure you the 10 or so minutes of clout aren't always worth pointing out "Oh I know but I'll let you all find out for the fun of it," much less risk sharing information that will definitely get someone fired for little other than the fleeting satisfaction of random Internet message boards.

It's the last time, so I'm sure someone will eventually find a way to say **** it/ruin everything sooner than later.

 

[ZephyrZ]

If the character isn't super well-known in Japan, that'd be a huge knock against Sora or Crash, just saying.

On the flip side, his comment about people not knowing their "other versions" kind of supports the idea of Crash, since his western and Japanese designs are different.

With Smash Ultimate's DLC coming to an end this Tuesday (presumably - maybe they could release some random stages or Mii costumes afterwards, but I doubt it), what are some games or series that you got into thanks to this period of Smash speculation or reveals?

- Dragon Quest: When the Hero was unveiled at E3 two years ago, I went and purchased Dragon Quest VIII on the 3DS that made me wonder why did I not purchase this when it was on the Playstation 2.

- Xenoblade: This was during a time when the speculated ESRB leak surfaced for the 3DS/Wii versions. I went and bought a second hand copy of the game for the Wii and it certainly is one of the fun RPG games I had played on the console.

I did get into Final Fantasy VII thanks to Sephiroth's inclusion, but that's pretty much it, sadly enough...

Persona and Dragon Quest.

Both are among my favorite series now BTW.
