We're getting Diddy AND Dixie tonight, you guys!

That would warrant a video-- a direct lol. Probably just Diddy.

All newcomers will probably get vids.

 

[Song of the Turtle]

Are we absolutely sure this game runs at 60fps? Do we have a reliable source?

 

[Berordn]

Sakurai said so. We don't have any direct feed footage to confirm or deny yet.

 

[ErichWK]

I hope we get some Captian N style Nintendo Characters in. Or better yet, Nester. :|

 

[FlynnCL]

This game not being 60fps would be a bit of a mess. All previous games hit 60fps, and all character movesets are built around 60fps in mind (such as some characters having jabs that come out at frame 1, frame 2 or frame 4, for example). 30fps or something would be really weird.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Guys...maybe its been said already, but maybe Sakurai has been teasing Ridley with the last two PotD?

Sakurai: Pic of the day. This dog is huge… Wait, no, the playable characters are small. The Smash Bros. series doesn't always stay true to scale.

And

Sakurai: Pic of the day. As shown in Little Mac's debut video, here is the height difference between Samus and Little Mac. He's used those mighty green gloves to punch out many challengers bigger than himself.

He shows off height/size difference. I think he did these posts on purpose to stir the Ridley community and he will soon reveal him.

Spoiler

Either if its a stage hazard or character....is a huge gamble.

It's two months to the next direct though.
And the "too big" meme probably has not spread to the Japanese fandom.

 

[DisconnectD]

I really hope that Palutena is the next reveal, personally. So I can stop wondering/worrying.

 

[BGBW]

He's actually teasing for a Doshin the Giant reveal.

 

[J@hranimo]

YO!

You all remember the smash ring, that is now the WVBA ring, what if its both. What if they have stages that can morph and be other things depends on who is on the stage + some type of randomization factor. Like how stages had different versions you could play on in brawl, for example what if the ring also functioned as King Triple D's wrestling ring? Or What if you could see other smash stages that were sort of related to each other in the background like some of the mario games. Another example, a hyrule stage where everyone once in a while you could see some type of fire emblem battle happenng or something. Or maybe you can see one kirby stage from another kirby stage.

Just some thoughts.

A Kirby Superstar boxing ring would be awesome, but I doubt any non-Punch Out themes would get in this stage. I do think that the Ring will change between Major and World Circuit depending on if Little Mac is there or not. Or maybe it's random like Spear Pillar was in Brawl.

I'd be surprised if Diddy was revealed tomorrow. I have this feeling he will be a hidden character this time.

Tomorrow's Pic: New Item - Mega Mushroom.

 

[SuperSah]

Diddy or 3DS shot of Mac tomorrow!

Or finally reveal the New Leaf/Palu Temple stage. =.=

 

[TheLegendOfCap]

Even if it's not Diddy Kong, it'll at least be something interesting.

For some reason Friday's are always something interesting. haha

 

[Caladrius]

I predict irrelevant silliness.

 

[oreomunsta]

New Smashville it is, then! Complete with neighbours wearing "I <3 N S" memorabilia that Timmy and Tommy sell in the background

Even if it's not Diddy Kong, it'll at least be something interesting.

Don't say that too loudly on the internet. Sakurai has ears everywhere and will now troll us for assuming we'll get something good today D=

pls ;_;

I see what you did there

 

[Kjellson]

The time is nigh.

 

[ffdgh]

inb4 sakurai skips diddy.

 

[Neiteio]

inb4 sakurai ships diddy and dixie

 

[Venomgxt]

Inb4 they announce Skull Kid

 

[-Horizon-]

It's going to be a Cranky assist trophy. Why do you think he took over twitter today? It was all one big hint.

 

[Ryce]

I'm kind of surprised Brawl didn't have a DK Assist Trophy. It's the biggest series without one.

 

[Neiteio]

A three-in-one Kong Klan character -- Diddy, Dixie and Cranky! And you can switch between them freely.

 

[Fandangox]

I'm kind of surprised Brawl didn't have a DK Assist Trophy. It's the biggest series without one.

Wouldn't be surprised if Cranky becomes the series' assist trophy.

 

[Caladrius]

You forgot pokemon.

 

[Ryce]

You forgot pokemon.

A rival Trainer appears, throws a random Poké Ball, and disappears. The ultimate redundant Assist Trophy.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Wouldn't be surprised if Cranky becomes the series' assist trophy.

Or Rambo.

 

[MannyToons]

Considering we have gotten no acknowledgements to non-Japanese release dates from Sakurai so far, I highly doubt we'll get anything relating to Donkey Kong tonight. I'd love to be wrong though.

 

[Akai]

Or Rambo.

Rambi should be DK's final smash now. Konga Beat is a bit outdated...

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

THAT'S LITTLE MAC'S RING!!

*thumps chest*

AIN'T NOBODY STEALIN' IT FROM HIM!

NOBODY!!

*wipes saliva off chin and exits*

 

[Fandangox]

Or Rambo.

That one actually makes more sense. The first thing that came to mind was The Rambo though.

Ralf Jones for Smash?

 

[SkullHydra]

I would freaking lose it.

Cynthia assist trophy, throws a Garchomp onto the field, then she sweeps across the field and hits anyone there first

 

[Jaeger]

Needs a Bomberman, and a Belmont (or Dracula/Soma/Alucard).

 

[Jagsrock]

It's gonna be a picture of a banana peel and nothing else.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

It's pretty damn slick. Check it out.

 

[oreomunsta]

A three-in-one Kong Klan character -- Diddy, Dixie and Cranky! And you can switch between them freely.

Why have them switch? We'll simply have them sit on each other's shoulders : Cranky on the bottom, Diddy takes mid, Dixie on the top of the totem pole. They'll have amazing recovery ability, a brutal down-air that'll make Link's look like a joke, and still be smaller than Ridley!

 

[TheLegendOfCap]

It's gonna be a picture of a banana peel and nothing else.

A Banana Peel and a Mr. Freezie with a caption that reads:

"Tropical Freeze releases today in Europe and North America! It's starting to feel a bit chilly, isn't it?"

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

Sakurai has never announced character by US/EU date.

 

[Anbec7]

Sakurai has never announced character by US/EU date.

This is Sakurai we're speaking... he is mad! MAD

 

[Muzy72]

I doubt we're getting anything tonight. He always goes by Japanese release dates. That's why I wish the Direct was a wee bit later in the month, so we could have gotten two characters.

Also, I hope Diddy is announced ASAP so this Diddy+Dixie team up nonsense can finally end.

 

[Camjo-Z]

Star Fox anniversary tomorrow. Falco for sure!!!

 

[Fiktion]

Also, I hope Diddy is announced ASAP so this Diddy+Dixie team up nonsense can finally end.

Zelda was announced without Sheik. Clearly Sheik has been cut.

 

[Village]

Zelda was announced without Sheik. Clearly Sheik has been cut.

Considering Diddy was character BY HIMSELF in brawl and sakura isn't a fan of drastic changes to movesets, and a lot of fighting games in genera . Your response makes little sense.

 

[Fiktion]

sakura isn't a fan of drastic changes to movesets,

Show me where he said this.

and a lot of fighting games in genera . Your response makes little sense.

I hope you see the irony here.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Diddy can team up with Lucina.

 

[BY2K]

You get NOTHING!

You lose!

Good DAY, sir!
