Hamsters are so hot right now.

Weren’t hamsters popular since Sir Lemmiwings?

I don't think bob means hot in the popular sense.

Probably take it back further, to the Hamster Dance Song.

[bob]

I don't think bob means hot in the popular sense.

I did, but you're correct that in the current heat wave, hamsters are probably suffering.

What you can do, is freeze a bottle of water, and leave it in their cage. They can cool down by simply sitting near our on the bottle, which should prevent them overheating in this weather.

Wouldn't that also just cause all the shavings to get damp?

Proof hamsters belong in Smash:

That's not what I meant either.

Put the lid on the bottle.

[markderoos]

Interesting to see if we’re getting any new challengers or stages in today’s Direct!

[markderoos]

If I've read all predictions correctly, @Ugh first aid gets a point for K. Rool, @Nintendo Fan get's a point for Dark Samus (nice call!) and @Fused King for Simon Belmont.

[Glen-i]

I'll be giving a proper update once I'm not on my phone tomorrow. Including any Assist Trophy heartbreaks.

[Ugh first aid]

No words can describe my hype...so here's a gif instead
 

 

[Fused King]

Why didn't use King K. Rool in my prediction...He seemed so likely. I was blinded bt the Ridley mania.

Good to see the legendary vampire hunter in Smash though. Very good.

[RedShell]

Please please please...

[Glen-i]

No, @RedShell don't fall into the Smash conspiracy theory trap! Only sadness lies there!

Anyway... Time to run down this Direct.

Dark Samus correctly predicted by:

@Nintendo Fan

Chrom correctly predicted by:

No-one, and he even told us he'd be in this one! Are we stupid?

Simon correctly predicted by:

@Ugh first aid @Fused King

Richter correctly predicted by:

Not one person!

King K.Rool correctly predicted by:

@Ugh first aid

@Ugh first aid definitely came out on top this time, nailing two of the characters.

But more importantly, it's time to take that trip down the Avenue of Crushed Dreams once again. Just because you predict hard, doesn't mean they get into Smash.
Minus points for these lame-o's!

Shovel Knight: @Glen-i @Ugh first aid @Dcubed @Julius Caesar @Nicktendo 

Alucard: @Ugh first aid

Pauline: @Ugh first aid

Not quite as horrendous as the Bomberman massacre of E3, but still pretty brutal.

I can't believe @Ugh first aid predicted Alucard and was almost right! I wish I could give you something for that, but rules are rules.

Here's the current standings.

1. @markderoos @Fused King: 3 points
2. @Nintendo Fan: 2 points
3. @GenericAperson @S.C.G: 1 point
4. @Glen-i @Dcubed @Vileplume2000 @EEVILMURRAY @Mandalore @Ugh first aid: 0 points
5. @Nicktendo @Jonnas @bob @RedShell: -1 point
6. @Julius Caesar: -2 points

Forgot about Pauline, sorry Ugh First Aid

[Ashley]

STOP BEING A COWARD AND GIVE THE PEOPLE RICK, SAKURAI!

[Ugh first aid]

...I was the only one to guess K Rool? I know I screwed myself over more then the gain... ( > ^ < I WAS SO CLOSE WITH ALUCARD! GRRR ) Even so..,I can't help but feel a little giddy 

[Glen-i]

Quick update due to yesterday's Direct.

Isabelle predicted by:

Wait, no-one? Huh. Well this was pointless then.

Not only that, but no hopes crushed because no-one predicted Tom Nook either. So the score remains the same as last time. Oh well, bound to happen sooner or later.

Not including Inkling, that's 14 characters that Smash 4 didn't have now.

See you next direct!

Edited September 14, 2018 by Glen-i

[Glen-i]

Alright, let's get it done!

Ken correctly predicted by:

No-one, if only we knew echo fighters were a thing.

Incineroar correctly predicted by:

No-one, if only I knew Ivysaur was a thing.

Piranha Plant correctly predicted by:

No-one, if only we knew drugs were a thing

I want to formerly apologise to all the people who predicted Decidueye because of my reasoning. I chose that because the game needed a grass starter to round out the trio. But then Ivysaur. If I knew Ivysaur was coming back, I would have gone with Incineroar instead. So close!

Unlike the Isabelle update, a whole bunch of Assist Trophies and costumes got announced. Which means it's time to take another journey down the path of sadness that is the Avenue of Crushed Dreams

Isaac - @Ugh first aid

Spring Man - @Glen-i @markderoos @GenericAperson @Nintendo Fan @Dcubed @Julius Caesar @Nicktendo @Vileplume2000 @S.C.G

Rex - @Glen-i @markderoos @Ugh first aid @GenericAperson @Nintendo Fan @Dcubed @Julius Caesar @Nicktendo @Vileplume2000 @S.C.G

Chain Chomp - @Mandalore

Dillon - @Glen-i @Jonnas @Ugh first aid @Dcubed @Julius Caesar

Chibi-Robo - @markderoos @Nicktendo

Rex there with 10 predictions! I think he might have taken the title of Dream Smasher! Amazing!

BTW, now that we know that there'll be 5 more DLC characters, there's 23 characters that weren't in Smash 4. (Not including Inkling) So that's the magic number. The further off you are, the more you lose. Who's ready for some negative scores!?

10. @EEVILMURRAY -20 points

12. @bob -23 points

Now we're in QI territory! Negative points all round!

Out of everyone @GenericAperson and @bob are the only people whose score is now finalized, all of their choices have been confirmed/deconfirmed. So their score will not change from now on.

Edited November 2, 2018 by Glen-i
Added bob's score. Sorry bob

[bob]

I have been left out. This is unacceptable.

Ah, bugger. Sorry. Although leaving you out might have been a kindness.

Will edit the post.

[Aperson]

Well I knew I sucked at prediction games but even so...

[Ashley]

I've not given up hope on Rick!

 

[Jonnas]

I'm angry at myself. Not only do I swap out Snake from my predictions for Takamaru, but now...

7.Captain Toad (Captain Toad) - Don't underestimate the little guy. If Sakurai is feeling inspired, he'll make a moveset for a non-violent person.

If only I had written something witty like "He'd make a moveset out of a potted plant", then I could've potentially gotten something like half a point maybe!

Anyway, I'll be the one laughing when they announce Rayman, Twintelle, Dixie Kong, Captain Toad and Muddy Mole for DLC.

[Ugh first aid]

...I'm still saddened by Alucard...

[markderoos]

From first to fifth, thank you Sakurai for not adding Chibi Robo, Rex and Spring Man to the roster.

And thank you even more for adding them to the support cast instead! 😂😂😂

I should’ve just kept it at ‘Ice Climbers, Wolf and Snake’ and I’d have won this contest!!
