Yeah, I'm expecting a heavy emphasis on features/functionality. They've shown off what the core of the game is plenty of times, but IIRC nobody knows what contexts the core fighting will be used in. Like, is classic mode back? All-Star? An Adventure-type mode? What online features will there be? Stage builder? Replays? etc...the list goes WAY on.
I think I might be more interested in that stuff than characters at the moment, tbh. Especially with online. Brawl's was an epic disaster, so Smash 4's needs to be the cream of the fucking crop, not just in netcode but also features.
Then you're going into the......Danger Zone.
Though seriously, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
Only if you're crazy. You're not getting a date.

At most we might get a season/month. "Fall 2014/October 2014. An exact date is unlikely in my opinion.
Out tomorrow. On eShop. Next month in stores.

Probably will get a Winter 2014 release. Exact date I don't expect till maybe E3 ?

Maybe they'll dump an eShop game relevant to a character like that
Ice-Climbers 2! Out Now! $8.99 only on the Nintendo eShop.

The OP has a countdown timer in it.

Yeah. Nintendo likes to announce exact release dates late. If we get something release-wise it will most likely be a period, like Q4 2014 or Winter 2014.
I'm sure you'd be over there irrespective of what happens tomorrow, so... meh?
Unless you're going to honestly tell us that a few characters in Smash was honestly your tipping point. Because that seems like such an insanely small thing to hinge a a $200+ hardware purchase on instead of, y'know, every other good reason.
People who buy consoles based on whether or not... characters are... revealed... for a fighting game....
Okay. No. No one like that exists.

I think the only way the Smash Direct could end up being disappointing for me is if a 2015 delay really does happen.
I keep telling myself it won't and that the job posting thing was just weird timing and not a typo (that it didn't mean Smash 4).
Hoping for the best, but trying to steel myself for the worst... just in case.

I bet we just get yoshi which would make me happy but if he is the only one revealed i will be emo
baby mario + yoshi is the new character

I like the idea of Rayman more than most likely third-party characters honestly. Pac-Man is iconic but he's also boring and I don't really have any attachment to him. Snake felt out of place in Brawl, at the same time I think it was cool just for that one game especially since Kojima wanted him in, but I didn't really care for him or his play style. I'm a Bayonetta supporter and she seems like she'd be really really cool but admittedly
Rayman Origins and Legends were both great games and I like his design. I feel like he'd have a neat moveset too.
I haven't actually played Bayonetta yet.

I want this dude.
Slow moving Castlevania protagonist w/whip.
This. Him, Sonic, Mega Man and Mario are like the Mount Rushmore of old school gaming characters. If they have those 3 third party characters, it's the retro trifecta. Anyone else is just a nice bonus.

Abroad, facebook page of "Smash Bros." seems to have stood up. In no time, "I said" Ah or 1.08 million.

Castlevania is a weird one because I feel like I should associate it with Nintendo but I think I more associate it with Sony.
Uhhhhhh....

I was worried because I am going out tonight and won't be back til maybe 5 am and started thinking about staying up to watch. Then I remembered it starts 3pm PT and jumped for joy.
All I'm setting my sights on is the name and possible release window. Anything else would be a bonus.

I'm definitely more interested in the stuff you mentioned than even the characters. Especially the online. That is so important to me at this stage of my life. There's plenty of time to slow drip the characters later.
The only things that would disappoint me is if the entire direct was based on a singleplayer mode like SSE with nothing else. Or if they did indeed announce a delay to Q1 2015. I doubt both of those though.
Basically, what Sakurai is saying is that in the time it took him to create the Facebook page and sigh in relief, 1.08 million people liked the page.
The hype is real you guys,

People on these boards have bought consoles for far less. I know a person who only wants a ps4 for kh3 but has already bought it. There were people who bought wiius in january or february 2014 for X or SMTxFE: One was at the teaser trailer stage, and the other was not even that far.
An actual demo is at least something you can play if literally zero other games on the system interest you.
Shit would be so hype.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I never associated castlevania with sony, the only noteworthy game that comes to mind that was on a sony console(and isnt lord of shadows) was that first metroidvania one that I suddenly forgot the name of, which then that whole entire series of games appeared on the GBA and DS from then on.
Maybe it depends on which are your favorite games or which you got introduced to?
The most memorable games in the series for me had Simon, Trevor and Christopher in them, so I would definitely love it if any one of these guys made it into Smash.
Nah, I'd be doing the same thing.

The demo should only give Final Destination as a stage with only Fox as a playable character. Everyone would hype it up thinking 20XX has arrived, but when the full game drops, you realize that Fox was actually nerfed to hell and back.
Melee HD with online announced. Demo goes live. Fox only, Final Destination.
Timed Match is the only option, items always set to high.

I'm almost kind of surprised that any lingering Nintendo/Tecmo relationship hasn't resulted in an NES style Ryu Hayabusa in Smash Bros.
I was speaking hypothetically. I highly doubt we'll get a demo. It would be awesome though.

You'll get a brand new Miiverse community and you'll like it.

Sora and Bayonetta here we gooo!
never happening
Just finshed work and I'm going to be at home tomorrow. My wife's got a morning shift so she'll wake me up at least an hour before it starts. So I'm all set.
I just need to be able to sleep.
All I want is to see already announced characters in action, a new character and a returning veteran, and a new stage.

I could see them doing another deal with Best Buy for E3 or something.
Disney will never allow it unfortunately. :'(

I'd love to see NES Hayabusa that moved like his sprite but people might be expecting the modern version.
