Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 8: Put mii in, coach

Pop-O-Matic said:
Just because the game is close to launch doesn't guarantee jack about character reveals, especially if Sakurai wants to keep characters secret for the final game. I mean, we already have 30 characters revealed so far. That sounds pretty close to a starting roster size for this game, so I'd probably only expect a couple more characters on top of that before launch.

Yup, this. We also just had the Smash Direct, which I think means we're not getting as many reveals as we did there.
 
Like I stated with my Bet with Mr.Buddy ( only he took the bet D: )

I expect at least 4 new comers. I do expect some Veterans to be shown also.
 
Oh, the direct is only half an hour? That changes things - I'm expecting way fewer than six reveals now. Most of it will probably be dedicated to online play and custom movesets. Maybe we'll get one newcomer trailer at the very end, but that'll be it.
 
The Direct time is just an approximation, apparently Niconico said the Smash Direct back in April would be only 30 as well, but it was longer.
 
Also, calling it now: Either tonight or tomorrow will be Sakurai finally revealing Ridley as a non-playable boss in hopes that all the E3 hype will soften the blow.

Conversely, they said that Ninty's E3 2013 Direct was going to be 45 minutes when it was only 37 (in Japan).

Will do! On that note, if anyone else has any other special Smash-related requests you'd like me to check on, post them here and I'll do my best to answer your questions! I can't promise I'll get to all of them or that I'll be the first to answer the ones I can address, but I'll do my best for ya'll. :)

It would make sense to show another 3DS stage off.

We still haven't really seen anything of the Tomadachi Stage since the first pic, right?

That and the Elite Four stage are the only stages left of the ones we know that haven't been fully revealed, right?

Four newcomers?

I expect only two. One in the extremely short Direct and one during the invitational.

I'd say even two is pushing it. The only time we've gotten more than one newcomer announced was when the game was revealed. Not even the Smash Direct had two.
 
I don't think people should take that schedule too serious since they have been wrong in the past. I truly believe that it's just an assumption on NicoNico's behalf. IF it's actually 30 minutes, then bring it on! :)

We still have Smash Tournament, conference, etc to live on.
 
I think I watched Nico Nico once and there was a single letter streaming constantly across the screen. Everyone was spamming it. I was alarmed and confused and had that moment in "There Will Be Blood" where the guy starts yelling, "I've abandoned my child! I've abandoned my child!" It was rough.

Japanese streaming service that often puts thing in a schedule.

What many don't realise is that they always do it in blocks of 30 minutes, even if it's longer

Ah, thanks guys. Yeah, I read through DaBoss's post in that thread and it seems like it's nothing to worry about. Also, has Nintendo confirmed they'll be revealing everything in the Direct and not anything in the Treehouse stuff? We did get Brawl post conference, so it would't be too big of a stretch if they just dropped bombs throughout the week.
 
How I currently feel:

Nope, the opposite in fact. They have confirmed that there will be surprises etc. in it

That's what makes NicoNico special, like, if you're watching an ace attorney video, everyone will spam "Objection!!" at some moment.
