Well I assume if the specific Smash direct is happening it's because the game might be very close to come out, like Aug-Sept, I really hope I'm wrong.

We have to wait until September for the next direct?!?

If the Mii had a cusomtizable move set, it has the potential to be pretty OP because you could just pick the best moves from certain characters. I don't see a customizable move set happening because of that. It wouldn't be a problem for tournaments but online would be dreadful, for example.
So if the Mii is in the game at all as a playable character, it'll either have a customizable move set based on a set of available moves pooled from the various Wii ___ games or no customizable move set at all.

Pokemon Direct happened in Jan, and they announced Oct 2013 as release date so 9 months apart. Basically, the release date can be anytime between July to December.
How would you know how long it needs?

I love this gif!
If only this could somehow be applied to one of the Mario kart RR gifs lol.
The leak didn't mentioned Rosalina.
Also, Palutena "leak" just wasn't debunked because YOU don't want =P
The staff being totaly diferent design is more than enoght debunking for me
I kinda REALLY hope they announce Palutena as playable so that you people can SEE how diferent is the staff design in a 3ds screen

Damn, the fact that they announced this so far in advance is getting me completely, excessively hyped. They don't even announce the mainline Directs until right before they happen. There HAS to be something big being shown if they want to have an entire weekend worth of hype building up to it.

Time for you to coming back to SmashGAF thread ;P
Yeah, I agreed. I'm pretty hyped for the Direct. but why 4 days to wait?
I want to just quote this and leave it as is but I also don't want to be banned for spam so I'll add some content to this post:

Goddammit, all that Mario Kart 8 juiciness has spoiled me into not being excited or hyped about Smash Bros. in any way. Prove me wrong, Direct. PROVE ME WRONG.
Smash Wii U and 3DS are 4 and 5. The games has been in development for longer than Brawl by now. Please, enough with the madness. I grow weary of it.
That would be beyond perfect.

I didn't say anything bout Smash.
Pokemon Direct revealed X/Y AND Release date which is Oct 2013. I'm trying to emphasized that it's not going to release early because smash direct is happening so soon.
Woah this got announced in the middle of the night, i'm surpised they are having a Smash Bros focused ND before Mario Kart 8 even comes out. Could this mean Smash Bros is coming sooner then we thought and could it be Nintendo is gonna keep WiiU momentum by release it a month or 2 after Mario Kart?
Lets keep in mind Wii Mario Kart and Smash Bros came out in back to back months and Wii didnt need momentum

I think the point is that most (all?) already-announced games that get unique directs come out in less than a month or two.
IntelliHeath

No, it don't meant that it will release early. It's possibility but not certain. It could be like Pokemon Direct where they have to review some things.
Not even longer than Brawl yet. I assume if I'm right then this month would be 24 months for Smash 4 Development. Brawl had 26 months.
I figure this may be the case because NONE of the other 2014 announced games look anywhere close to being done (compared to Smash) accept Bayo and Bayo is niche.

I understand that, but I'm saying that Smash Direct is more likely to be same as Pokemon Direct.
Pokemon Direct in JAN 2013 announced release date which would be Oct 2013. 9 months apart, not month or two.
Yeah, I don't think it would happen either.
I'd love how OP it would be though. I'm trying to imagine how ridiculous it could get. I'm imagining a character with Marth's F-smash and u-tilt, Peach's D-Smash, Falcon's Knee and U-air, Shiek's f-tilt, Fox's shine and nair, and Falco's d-air and laser (all Melee in mind, but no doubt all the games have tons of potential).

Already? Man I remember it being announced by Iwata like it was yesterday lol
You have a good head on your shoulders
You sure about this? The calculation I read used an article where Sakurai explained when it started being developed.

It has more in common with something like the W101 direct though. X and Y were a global reveal, unlike Smash. Smash has been advertised for more than a year now. So I guess I'm saying it's more likely to not be the same as the Pokemon one.

Oh yeah, you meant Sakurai tweeted that he started to brainstorming for SSB4 during Feb 2012. Technically the games haven't started in development process until Sakurai are done with brainstorm step.
Take a look at the schedules that I typed up.
Super Smash Bros Brawl Development Schedules
- After E3 2005 (May 2005), Iwata asked Sakurai to be Director of Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Character Roster and Design document were finalized on July 7, 2005.
- Development of Super Smash Bros. Brawl began somewhen during Oct 2005
- First Super Smash Bros Brawl Trailer was revealed during E3 After Hours Press Conference on May 10, 2006.
- Second Super Smash Bros Brawl Trailer was revealed at Nintendo World, which announced Fox as playable character
- Super Smash Bros Dojo was launched on May 27, 2007
- Sonic and Delay were announced on Oct 10, 2007
- Brawl went gold in December 2007
- Release Date - Japan: Jan 31, 2008 and NA: March 9, 2008
- Super Smash Bros Dojo ended on April 14, 2008
Informations:
- Nintendo opened a new office in Tokyo just for Super Smash Bros Brawl production.
- New office aka Sora, LTD was established in order to Sakurai to be freelancer. Sora, LTD only have two members, which is Sakurai and his assistant.
- Nintendo and Sakurai enlisted several companies to helping them out with Super Smash Bros Brawl Development. Those following companies and members that joined the team to assist Sakurai; Game Arts, Monolith Soft, Paon, and several smash veteran staff members.
- Game Arts is the main team for preliminary development stage
- Hal Laboratory gave the teams all accesses to original materials and tools from the development of Super Smash Bros Melee.
- About 100 members worked on the project full time.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS Development Schedule
- Iwata announced Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS during Nintendo E3 2011 conference in order to attract new team members
- During Feb 2012, Sakurai tweeted that, during his brainstorming, he had been looking over Super Smash Bros Dojo, and reflecting on the past game's development.
- E3 2012 Nintendo Direct confirmed joint-project between Sora, LTD and Namco Bandai
- During June 2012, Sakurai reported that the game's development was in its first steps.
- During June 2012, They announced that Sakurai and Namco Bandai already completed a working prototype.
- During Aug 2012, Sakurai stated that game system had been completed.
- E3 2013 Nintendo Direct release a first trailer of Super Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U, which confirmed 9 veteran characters and 3 newcomers; Mario, Link, Pikachu, Kirby, Samus, Pit, Fox, Donkey Kong, Bowser, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer and Mega Man.
- Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS website went up on June 13, 2013
- Daily Image started on June 13, 2013.
Informations
- Yoshito Higuchi and Keiki Kobayashi are team leaders for Development teams.
- Sakurai expressed his interests that he intended to bring back old Nintendo characters for the games.
- Feeling that the series had found its target audience and introducing gimmicks would hinder rather than help the brand, Sakurai explained that he was thinking of ways to introduce a new, different experience, while retaining the frantic gameplay from previous installments.
- Tripping were removed from the game, and gameplay would be between Melee and Brawl
My takes on Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Schedule
- Sakurai probably started on brainstorming phase in Jan 2012, and finalized his roster plan and design document in March 2012.
- Namco Bandai and Sora, LTD probably started working on the games somwhen during April or May 2012, which would explain that they have completed prototype in their hands during June 2012.

I haven't been this excited for anything in a long time. Really hope it can live up to my levels even as a try and lower them. Snake being in is an automatic success and direct redeemed for me though. Bayonetta or Raiden would be my backups in terms of living up to hype.

The very earliest I could see it is July, which would be two months after MK8. Just like you said, they had Brawl and MK Wii come out really close to each other. For Japan, it was like a few months apart. For the U.S, factoring in the delay Brawl had (iirc released March 9th or something?) they were released one month apart from each other and they didn't impact each other's sales.
It would probably be the best way to go if the game is actually done or close to being done to keep momentum going for Wii U. Buuuuuut knowing Nintendo and major releases, they don't seem to like to keep momentum going lol.
Also, this just came to my mind, but you need to consider that EVO is in July and if there's some deal going on there to show something for Smash 4 then it wouldn't be out in July then anyway. So... yeah... while I can see July happening, I wouldn't be too hopeful for it.
Hell yeah, time to win my bet on him!
I love how this Direct start at Midnight for me.
It might not means it'll release very soon but Iwata promised that Mario Kart 8 momentum won't be sacrified and we should expect a steady stream of games. Well I just hope it'll be a summer title.
Anyway 20+ minutes of Smash goodness so HYPE!!

Not really haha, we'll see I guess.Okay, do you want to make a bet over this?
Pokemon XY have been advertised throughout the year as well. Your point is moot.
