okay final realistic guesses:
-3ds name is super smash bros. vs namco, featuring characters from the tekken franchise as well as other namco mascots like klonoa, the car from ridge racer, and the crushing disappointment from time and eternity
-super smash bros. vs namco will not have online, but it can be enabled by wirelessly connecting to a wii u
-wii u name is super smash bros. vs capcom. aside from featuring mega man, it will also feature other capcom characters like viewtiful joe, chun li, and solid snake
-supers smash bros. vs capcom has a robust online mode, down to an editable player roster (if you don't want people choosing certain characters), and a tournament mode
-editable levels return for both versions. miiverse can rate and recommend levels. community levels that receive a high enough rating give the player's mii a special editable costume
-dr. mario returns
-both games will be made available sometime in november. there will be a special bundle deal for those who purchase both versions. normally $100, get both for $80 on day one.
-saves transfer between both versions, including custom levels.
-superman returns
-as an extra bonus, a revamped super smash bros. 64 will be included in super smash bros. vs namco
-and for super smash bros. vs capcom, a revamped version of super smash bros. melee will be included
-both revamped versions will feature online play
-special last minute thing: not only is lucas returning, but mother 3 will be included with every copy of ssbvn and ssbvc.

I walk to work and I'm always 30mins early so I can sit a bit after the walk and have a snack.

well, fuck
it hasn't had showtime at e3 yet. i think it's still a ways off. if it's 'early', it will be a september title, and only because something like zelda would be a november title.

That's the first yeah I gave Sakurai since Little Mac.

Sakurai says that we won't be disappointed. Hopefully that quiets some of the "OMG 2015!?!?" ridiculousness.

Yeah lets replace the most iconic Zelda villain for an one shot character. Sounds like a great idea.

Official Twitter : release date won't be announced during the Direct, but a release period will be given. (Gonna update OP).
And Sakurai sure is hyping this Direct... wonder what it means
Told you guys that Nintendo wouldn't announce an exact release date this time. It's too early for that.
Yeah. It's far more likely we'll get a date for it at E3.

Or at a later Direct.

I'm less interested in seeing new characters and more intrigued about the game modes and even menu designs and such.

But can you download Capcom characters to Smash Bros. vs Namco and Namco characters to Smash Bros. vs. Capcom???
I want this in smash today.
Preach.

More like 13 and a half hours from now.
13 and a half.
Release period? Holiday 2014.
Not really that hyped anymore. Let's see.
Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but it seems now more like a replacement direct instead of the bi-monthly one. I would rather want to know what's coming right after MK8.
At list I hope we get some good gameplay video.

Nope, I'm quite confident myself that this game is comming between mid-June and mid-July. They will prolly say, "this summer". Nintendo would not be doing a game specific Direct this early to announce a Fall release. They would save that for E3. They are more likely getting this out of the way to clear E3 for Zelda and the new IP.
I sincerely doubt that.
This doesn't make sense anymore in the light of the news. If it would be released in June-July they would have a release date already, not just a period. Practically a Fall/Holiday 2014 release is guaranteed, which indeed makes you wonder why to do a game specific Direct this early?
I hope you're right.
I was sure about the "no date" thing, honestly. I'm looking forward for a "Holiday" period and that's all.
Hopefully that will mean within December 14 and not early 15
About the contents: I'm happy about a Smash related direct but I'd have preferred a generic one. I really start to worry about possible new games apart the ones already announced, if they have to spread those like that...
In any case, I hope to see Miis, a Xeno character, Snake and bayonetta as new/returning playable characters. Some interaction between 3DS and Wii U versions. Something to substitute the Subspace emissary

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Predictions:
- Delayed into 2016.
- Wii U version shown. 3DS not mentioned. Seeds fear of cancellation.
- Two characters revealed: one returning that nobody gives a shit about, and a new challenger nobody recognises.
- One new map shown.
- Sakurai/Iwata waffle on about pointless shit.
- Single player shown. Against all odds is Subspace Emissary 2. Looks terrible.
- Tripping 2.0 equivalent revealed.
- Online cut from Wii U release.
- Microtransaction costumes.

My theory on the specific date would be that Nintendo doesn't want the jump the gun. Namco, i belive, is the one actually making the game. Announcing a launch period prevents it fromlooking like another delay if Namco says they need more time.

Even though I still believe Smash is a Holiday 2014 release, its possible that NA/EU may get a specific date tomorrow, or atleast an earlier release. That tweet was from the Japanese Smash twitter meaning its specifically talking about tomorrow JP Direct. Japan may just be getting the game later than NA/EU like it did with ALBW, hence a rough estimate.
Of course im probably just reading to in to it and its still a Holiday 2014 World Wide estimate.
