Smash maintenance on the 31st was announced

Oh shit.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Maybe it's just a balance patch?

It's launching at prime time. Updates that don't have DLC attached in the past released in the middle of the night. This is the exact time frame when the last DLC was released.

 

[PushDustIn]

Hey guys, thanks for all the nice things that have been said about Source Gaming. I do take our reputation very seriously, and this is the first rumor I've felt comfortable enough to post on our humble blog.

Based on the information that has been passed on, I am fairly confident in Liam (Tamaki). I cannot go into further details but this is a proven source.

Please keep in mind that the Shovel Knight amiibo information was found out by Nintendo Life, and not Liam as I mentioned in my article. As additional information develops I will do my best to keep the community updated.

Could just be a balance patch, but the timing is interesting.

Oooooooooh shit

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I'm assuming you or Liam don't know anything about what any further characters could be, but did you have an idea what the remaining number/'slots' left for DLC characters was?

announcement this weekend to release on Monday maybe?

 

[Frofro]

Balance patches have consistently came with new content.

 

[Karsticles]

Damn, and during the SFV Beta.

 

[Azure Dream]

I'd love belmont, but only because it completes the captain N team (minus captain N obviously).

Play as mega man, simon belmont, and pit (and duck hunt maybe - giving you both the dog and captain N's zapper) on the game boy stage with the mother brain assist trophy on 3DS!

I've given up on Captain N himself being in the game, but a Captain N "letterman" jacket with Zapper for the Mii Gunners could work.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Seems likely. Hype it up at PAX and then release it after PAX is over.

 

[Fandangox]

Buckle up, its happening brothers

HAPPENING!

That being said, I don't think Shovel Knight will be the last character. I think Wolf's going to come in too at some point, and they're not going to end on a veteran.

 

[Gleethor]

Oh shit

 

[IntelliHeath]

Well, I would be very interesting if we are going to get balance chance again. If Nintendo or Sakurai haven't make any announcement tomorrow then I would't expect anything for Monday Update.

Tamaki made the video.

 

[KingBroly]

Yes

Spoiler

For Ridley

 

[IntelliHeath]

Look at the date. It said tomorrow?

Wait, where is that picture from?

 

[backlot]

So why are people getting excited about maintenance? Every time I've ever seen people get excited for maintenance it turns out to just be...maintenance.

it's maintenance during the same timeslot as the previous DLC patches

 

[Revven]

Every time Smash has had maintenance at that same hour a patch has been released afterwards, said previous patches have almost always been linked to DLC releasing as well as the patch contains the files for compatibility purposes.

I'm ready for Shovel Knight to invade the sacred roster.

#TeamReal

Can't wait for the salt.

Spoiler

Unless I'm the one with the salt. But a Shovel Knight amiibo is cool enough.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Yessss shovel knight

 

[FiddyShadeJ]

Guys stop. Please. I can't take it anymore.

 

[mStudios]

I'm predicting a lot of disappointments.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I probably jump to the gun too quickly. Someone pointed out that there is a date in Menu, 8/28/2015, which is tomorrow.

I just checked my wii u, and I see the same date on my end. It's 8.27.15 here.

 

[Blues1990]

I'm just trying to think what kind of moves our little knight with the shovel would have, and how they will animate Shovel Knight in-game. I can imagine they will take a page out of Mega Man's book and will animate the character pose-to-pose, in order to emulate the game sprite.

Oh, man. The possibilities. :3

For the people who don't want Shovel Knight amirite?

Is there not usually a date there? I've never payed attention.

 

[Aaronrules380]

The fun thing about this statement is it will be true regardless of what happens

 

[IntelliHeath]

Nope, it's not in case.

Sakurai could release DLC that just deposits $1,000 in a bank account of your choice and people would still find something to complain about.
