I mean, relative to what it usually has? Probably. But I don't think this thread's going to die anytime soon. One of us will always be willing to throw out a reminder that they want people to push X or Y in the budget, or will tie the Ballot to some other game announcement in some way (And seeing how MGSV just came out...).
The Shovel Knight one's going to drop like a bag of bricks within an hour of the maintenance, though. Gotta get those last few salt/mocking posts in, yanno?
Really happy to see K Rool's support stay strong and grow over the past decade. If he doesn't make it in as DLC, I'm sure the next we'll see him is in DKC Arctic Heat. He's one of those characters that is bound to make it in Smash eventually (Kinda like how Little Mac for a while now)

It's only like an hour or two now before we realize it's probably nothing.
I think from here it looks like September 13th would be the next likely DLC date, since it's the one year anniversary.

People getting hype for that date just setting themselves for the dissapoontment.
I'd be ok with that if it meant January we had a huge blowout of characters, costumes and stages. Instead of selling it piecemeal they sold it all for $20.
I think waiting that long AND getting a discount if we buy it all would be ok. If anything though, we're gonna get more costumes this year though.

And miss the big holiday spending period? Even Mario Kart had shit to sell in November of last year.

Oh well.....a balance update would of been nice though.
I don't think you're reading it right.

No, I'm not. It's just a change to FG tournaments.
So now you can wait for 15 minutes to play a 1v1 match and lose to a Ganoncide.

If Shovel Knight is really happening I imagine they will announce him during cross-promotion for Plague of Shadows or the retail version of the game. So, October 13th?
If we survived the Brawl to the SSB4 wait, we'll survive anything.
As the Bible or something said, "This Too Shall Pass."

Or a week if they do something on the anniversary.
There's no reason to think we have to wait two months. The ballot ending is meaningless, 99% of the votes that will ever be cast have already been cast.
I'm sure there will be a decently sized surge near the end when everyone starts saying "only 1 week left til the Ballot ends!" etc.
Probably nothing massive or super significant but there will be an uptick in voting for sure. Last day surges can sometimes be as big as the first day, and I have no reason to doubt the Ballot seeing a surge.

Expect votes for Undo Dog to skyrocket after he makes his triumphant return in Mario Maker next week.

Listening to discussions on Smash characters and whatnot and I have one question: have the people who want a Slime in the game actually played Dragon Quest games? It would be the equivalent of adding Goomba to the main roster. It's a joke.
Karsticles
Member
I didn't know Goomba had his own series.
Goomba doesn't have his own spin-off franchise that is better than the main series.
Goomba also isn't used on like every piece of Mario advertising like Slime is for Dragon Quest. Mario also constantly has the same protagonists, whilst Dragon Quest doesn't.
Seriously go play Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime and tell me you don't want that charming motherfucker in this game.
GiantBreadbug

Yeah I disagree. Slime is more like the Pikachu of Dragon Quest, not Goomba.

if you think it's going to be a long months then I would suggest you to find something to do!
Should we really be expecting an Anniversary update, though? Besides, it took me until Saturday to ground myself about PAX not having a reveal; I'm fine with waiting a bit longer for something. I still don't think it'll be a 2 month wait, but maybe mid-October we'll see something in a new Direct?
I mean, I know the Slime is more iconic of its series, but I don't really care for the thing. It's limbless and dull. Nonetheless, Japan loves the character, so I'm not saying it's impossible, nor do I flat-out not want it like Red Cat from Yokai Watch. But if there were to be a character that'd flat-out disappoint me, it'd be the Slime from Dragon Quest.
Only Square characters I'd want would be Neku and Marina Liteyears, anyway.

Ah yes. The elusive headgear.
You've gone from jumping to conclusions about server maintenance to jumping to conclusion based on a baseless rumour. When will lessons be learnt?

I am not falling for your tricks.
Meh. Would prefer an update that would let me use customs and Mii Fighters in For Fun/For Glory instead.

Good choice :3
I definitely agree on the mii-fighters part. My inkling and Mawile would get a lot more use then
