Posted October 24, 2018 I don't believe it. Mainly because of the number of newcomers there. They said they'd slow down the pace of the reveals but this many characters will need to speed it up before the game launches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) 17 hours ago, Ashley said: Do they ever not reveal characters before launch? Yes, every Smash game to date has kept some secret. They tend to be the unlockable ones. (Except Snake and Sonic in Brawl, but that's understandable) But seeing as every character is unlockable apart from the original 8 in this game, they're just throwing everyone out there. EDIT: OK, whoever works for the Wendy's PR Twitter account is awesome. Edited October 25, 2018 by Glen-i 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The majority of them are utter crap posted by someone just looking for attention. This one I mentioned earlier just hasn't been debunked yet, which is not what normally happens. So it still could be legit. Anyway, back to stuff that is definitely in Smash. Spoiler Assist Trophy: Nikki The host of Nintendo Letter Box on Nintendo 3DS family systems joins the battle. Her drawings all look very cute – but they still do serious damage, so be careful! Out of all the new Assist Trophies, this one is my favourite so far. I do like my wacky ones and Nikki deserves it after almost losing her job because that's why we can't have nice things. At least Nintendo Letter Box can live on through this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) So yeah, Smash direct confirmed for november 1st :D. I've managed to stay spoiler free, so this should be good!

Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) Smashing! Time to see whether that supposed leak is true or not. Exciting! Spoiler Living Room This stage is based on the nintendogs games. Check out the antics of the animals in the background – a total of five different puppies and a cat. Be careful not to get hit by the falling blocks while you're distracted by their cuteness! One of many 3DS stages that help to elevate the 3DS version over the WiiU one in my opinion. The randomly falling toys make for some hilarious shenanigans. This stage is the reason "Bath Time" got a remix in Smash 4 BTW. EDIT: 40 minutes? Is that the longest Smash focused Direct ever? That gives a little credibility to the leak.

Posted October 30, 2018 At first I was like, why do they have to reveal everything about a game before release. Then I realised, news of any unannounced new characters would be all over the internet about 32 minutes after the game releases (or more likely a few days before) so they might as well announce ahead of time and make a big fuss.

There it is. It's just the world of gaming we live in. As soon as review copies get sent out. Everything's gonna be revealed. The one thing I think we won't get told is all the songs that are in the soundtrack. I love a lot of the Smash remixes and enjoy collecting the CD's and slowly discovering it all in the desperate hope that something from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon gets in. This time guys, I've got a good feeling about it. They're gonna put in something from GO instead, aren't they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2018 So should we get a new thread going for the Direct discussion, or should we just keep it in this thread seeing as it is a Smash focused Direct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably best to keep the discussion here. One last pic of the day before all hell breaks loose. Spoiler Assist Trophy: Klaptrap Moving back and forth on the stage, Klaptrap jumps at the nearest fighter and repeatedly bites down. It may be small, but attacks from its strong jaws are dangerous! I can't believe it took three games to get the first DK Assist Trophy! That second picture is the best contender for giving kids nightmares as well. Anyway, here's the Direct. It starts at 2pm UK time. Edited November 1, 2018 by Glen-i 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2018 I can't imagine what they want to show for 40 minutes but then again, the last Direct was rather long as well and that was action packed and great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 1, 2018 I absolutely love the Smash Directs. I’ve also been able to remain spoiler free so far (or at least only reading officially confirmed characters, modes, etc). More characters and more game modes would be fantastic. I love the high value that goes into the videos for the character reveals. So many characters I’d love to see included (mainly retro / N64 ones on my list mind). 40 minutes as well, should be pretty comprehensive. They’re throwing everything at this game!

Posted November 1, 2018 Less than 10 minutes to go. Took my lunch break just now to make sure I get it all. It's time to settle this leak in Smash! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2018 The Spirit mode looks fantastic. I can see myself getting a lot of mileage out of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 1, 2018 I hate that they alter the stats of the characters. But that's just me, in Mario Kart 8 I play standard kart because that's how everyone is equal. So I won't use it - however, I like the Event battles so will definitely spend time on that. Also "That's all the characters" in the beginning? I want to see it before I believe it.
