What format do you think the Challenger Pack 6 reveal will take?

[Paraster]

Yesterday, this thought crossed my mind, so I put a poll on r/smashbros. Options were "Mr. Sakurai Presents," "New Content Approaching," "Nintendo Direct," or something new.
Now, a little over 24 hours later, over 400 people have weighed in, with the vast majority picking the "Mr. Sakurai Presents" format.

I wanted to get some more input on this question, as I find it surprisingly interesting. What do you think?

 

[J.C. VOX]

I'm digging the 'Mr. Sakurai Presents' angle.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Reveal will probably be a "drumroll please" moment.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Sakurai Presents.

Sakurai Presents.

Sakurai: Me! That's right, myself Masahiro Sakurai will be a playable fighter in the Pass as well as Reggie Fils-Aimé.

It all depends on if the reveal was delayed along with the would've been June direct. If not, it'd probably be something similar to "Mr. Sakurai presents Byleth", where it's a "Mr. Sakurai presents" with a fighter reveal at the beginning. If it was delayed, then I could see it being a trailer during a Direct.

Sakurai: Me! That's right, myself Masahiro Sakurai will be a playable fighter in the Pass as well as Reggie Fils-Aimé.

Is it bad that I would legit welcome that with open arms (no pun intended)?

You're not the only one. I would welcome Sakurai and Reggie as playable fighters too as well as Iwata if that was possible.

Oh God, please no. It would be as bad as Gokû.

Please don't compared these legendary Nintendo heads to Goku and Shrek like their meme characters please. I think they're the exception to the 4th party fan rule if they're even considered 4th party if not 1st party. Without Miyamoto creating Super Mario Bros., the 1983 Video Game Crash would have completely destroyed the industry and we haven't one today. Without Iwata helping out on Gold/Silver's map and helping out on translating Pokemon for the rest of the world Pokemon would have become the giant media powerhouse it is today and probably would have died out a long time ago. These men deserve it even though it would be weird.

They're related to video games, yes. So is Gokû, who was in lots of video games, some of them really good. In both cases, they're not video games characters. If you want to represent a real person or a character from something else, Mii fighters exist exactly for that.

That being said, we're off-topic.

But still, Miyamoto, Iwata, and Reggie are completely related to video games as as programers and CEOs while Goku is a sanime character who has had video games but is a manga character in origin.

And Miyamoto, Iwata, and Reggie are real persons in origin.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

And Miyamoto, Iwata, and Reggie are real persons to begin with.

Still, they're important to Nintendo.

No, Goku is important to anime and manga. You can't denie Miyamoto and Iwata's legacy to the industry.

I don't. But you can't denie Dragon Ball's legacy to the video game industry either.

We'll just end this topic right now.

I imagine with how Co-Vie has impacted Nintendo I imagine it'll be a live stream and not in a Direct.
Sakurai will probably still want to give us some news at least. Whether it be a 'Sakurai Presents' or a live stream similar to the Robin and Lucina reveal, I don't know
