You guys have enough salt to last me a lifetime with all these reactions to Mii and Pac-Man. Please continue.
I am saddened that a live youtube american stream link has not appeared on Nintendo's youtube channel yet. :( Please let us actually watch the direct without breakups haha!
.
YouTube stream for NA probably won't be up till it is about an hour before starting.

That's what happened last time: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=100677452&postcount=5072

That post was made at 4:23PM when the Direct was going to start at 5:00PM.

So yea, just wait.
 
Officially hopping on the hype train. A little over an hour and a half, guys! Ready for them to announce the release window.
Winter, 2014.
 
The funny thing is that this is the most open smash in the series....

For a 1st party Free For All, the fact its very possible we could get:

Mega Man
Sonic
Pac-Man

Snake
Bayonetta (Blurs the lines of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd party pretty much)
Wonder Red (Same)

All in the same game, has Smash looking pretty weird right now.

But It would be frigging awesome.
 
Smash really is the ultimate fan service. I enjoy all the references as much as I enjoy the gameplay, lol.
 
Pikachu...

His final smash will be Mega Pikachu.

Pikachunite will be distributed to all X & Y games through Mystery Gift after the Direct to make your Pikachu transform into Mega Pikachu.
 
It's borderline impossible for me to be disappointed by a new character. Or rather, I should say I have faith in Sakurai to surprise me with something I didn't know I wanted. Each of his characters have some core idea -- or a collection of core ideas -- that make them resonate. Like Villager with his ability to pick up and pocket items and projectiles -- so true to the spirit of Animal Crossing. Or Rosalina being a puppeteer character, something we haven't seen in Smash. Each character feels unique. So I trust that every new character that is added, whether expected or unexpected, will enrich the whole roster in some way. In the end, I see the overall roster as the -true- character, and each newcomer simply deepens it.
 
Slept all afternoon =/

I suppose it's more productive than playing video games all afternoon.

Probably going to get dragged out to dinner with my parents so I'll miss it live.

I mean... Pokemon Trainer, if you wanna be technical ;)
 
Sakurai give us 4 days to prepare ourselves.
Minds will be blown away, many bricks will be shat.
Big
Ridley
reveal incoming.
 
I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not :(

edit: wait are people trying to imply Jigglypuff or Kirby are just balls that punch and kick? They have a whole other set of moves, what does Pac Man have besides eating pellets? seriously. He doesn't even fly. Let's be get real here.

Ahhh... I'm all settled in, and ready to spend the next three hours on my computer with all of you fine blokes. There ain't NOTHING quite like sharing these directs with Ninten-GAF. Truly one of the finest pleasures the Internet has to offer me.

Now, are there any passenger tickets left for the hype train?
