Seeing how the February release date is drawing nearer and nearer, I think Sakurai just might make updates on Saturday and Sunday just to rap up things on the DOJO. Not to mention the Japan release date. Maybe every other week he might do so. That's my theory anyways.

What are your thoughts on this?

How do you know if they will be updating on weekends all of a sudden? It's a nice theory but I don't see why they would just change it before release.

Sakurai could decide to do this if he wanted to. You know, to probably do the updates he couldn't do on the weekdays. That is, if he has set a date deadline that he wants to make, he could start to use Sat and Sun.

No I highly doubt he will. We have enough miscellaneous updates on weekdays. What makes you think extending it will make pacing any easier?

I'm sure they were sure of the number of updates when they decided the new release date. Even then, they don't have to stop at the release date. They could bust out a triple update everyday up until the release date if they really wanna cover everything.

I also think it would be necessary for them to make updates on weekends if:

1. They want to include more characters than they originally wanted.

2. If the game gets delayed for w/e reason.

3. To play catch up if they are behind in there character updates.

If they really needed to get out more information by release, they could just have more updates per day.

True, but don't you think this would be a bit pointless? I mean, we'll have the game in our hands to unlock everything ourselves. Don't know about you bro, but when I get Brawl, I'll never go to the DOJO again. Heh....

@Eight Sage, having updates on weekends could be a fresh start for all of us. Monday through Fridays have been kinda dissapointing, but a Sat or Sun update, well, Sakurai could label one of those days as an absolutely great update that you can't miss cause it will be epic every single time.

Never? And if Sakurai makes downloadable content? Well I guess it'd be too bad if you missed it.:):)

Meh....I wouldn't care, unless now if you could download characters or something. It's all about the roster and everything else is just what it is....everything else. Besides, this would be revenge for intriguing me to stay up until 3:00 A.M. only to look at a really crappy update.

Hmmm....

If it's worth while downloadable stuff Tobi, then you'll pm me the news if it's beyond awesomeness won't you?
I dunno. May be too busy downloading stuff from dojo. :p

haha I'm j/k. I highly doubt Sakurai would ever release downloadable content. They have enough trouble as it is trying to make wi-fi work.

He won't release stuff on weekends. It would be random for him to do it now. Plus I don't think he wants to reveal much more. There are a lot of things he is keeping secret for us to find out.

smash consumes enough of me already. I would rather not have pointless updates on the weekend as well. I do although think he will be either bringing every thing together with last minute Character updates or just keep on giving us filler crap. I think it is safe to say that we will not be seeing any updates on a weekend.

this is not a theory at all, theorys have proof. I would call this a theoracy.

Precisely! Fridays were something to actually look forward to, but after Dedede's confirmation, not so much.:ohwell:

Hey, it's highly unlikely, however, it's not impossible. It could happen.

@ for all of you who think it will be just filler, you don't exactly know that cause it has yet to be done.

Wait, why are you staying up until 3? Since DST it's been 2 on the East Coast...

But of course. Who knows, we might get something cool on Christmas Eve. Oh and I usually check the Japan update before 3 which is cool.

WEEKEND UPDATES 4 BRAWL!
Wait, that doesn't answer my question. The updates are at 2 A.M., so why do you check them at 3?

I don't think I would like weekend updates.

For one, they already stretched the number of updates they had to give because of the delay. Meaning if we did get weekend updates, they might just be filler updates.

Actually they could just give us double/triple updates and it would be just as well.
