Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XI: Where 90% correct equals 100% wrong

The three week difference will make it impossible to avoid "spoilers." I'm gonna splurge in my pre-release information consumption for sure.

I'm probably the same. It'd be nice to be surprised, but anything of note will be relentlessly paraded around the internet, so trying to keep myself in the dark would be a pointless exercise.

Same, I am pretty excited actually for the Japan release so I can have the final roster. Although it will probably be 48 and I will lose my bet since I am going for 47. :P

Trying to remain spoiler free on Smash is going to be impossible. People will use avatars of revealed characters, stuff will be talked about all over. If someone wanted to completely ignore all Smash news from the Japanese release, they'd have to be completely off any game related news website for a month.

It's futile.

I'm actually really excited to being spoiled. I want to know all the info, it'll keep me busy for the few long weeks of waiting until release.

Yeah, you'll basically have to avoid most of the internet, especially news sites, news aggregate sites, and forums... and youtube... so basically all the best
sfw
parts of the internet for 3+ weeks to not get spoiled. It's basically futile thanks to not having a worldwide launch.
 
I can't wait for NoA to market the game in the weeks leading up to release as if we didn't already know everything

Strictly embargoed reviews, etc.

All the nsfw parts too. Do you know how fast people make rule 34 of new characters?
 
Pretty much not going on NeoGAF/Facebook for 3 weeks (which will be impossible for me since I like checking GAF during downtime).

No Gaf, No facebook, no reddit/pinterest/etc, no twitter, no youtube, no news sites (you'd be surprised what makes it to the technology section on some news sites). Might as well unplug your internet for a month.
 
Went with "FYI, I'm an assist trophy". It's simplicity makes it good, while still encapsulating our anguish.

"New thread for no news" is good too.
 
I've been so focused on my Guardians of the Galaxy hype that I haven't really checked on this thread in a week, and I come back to see that we're ALREADY almost at the next one? Jeez, guys. What do you even talk about?

The usual: Ridley, Ganondorf, fake leaks, casual vs competitive, creepy shit, etc.

Hey, at least it's not as bad as
Scatoon.

A guy in the "awesome" fanart thread said that it only took 10 minutes for Splatoon rule 34 to pop up. I don't believe him. That is way too long. It had to be 3 minutes, tops.

Nothing.

(Pic of the day, speculation/"leaks", Smash tournaments, competitive/casual fights, general Nintendo things, how fast the thread is going, Ridley, Pokemon, etc)

Ridley, Tiers, Ganondorf, Duck Hunt Dog, Ridley, Three-piece items suck/are the best, Horrible Sakurai interview, casuals suck, competitives suck, the word "pro" is wrong and Ridley.

And that's just in the past week!

completely disagree. All I'll have to do is avoid this thread and any like it on other forums, all gaming news sites (pretty easy) and probably all of neoGAF gaming for the first week assuming some idiot or another will just make a spoiler filled thread title thinking new news=new thread=unmarked spoilers in the title.

You can still go to any other interest sites on the web and probably not be spoiled. It's not something like Game of Thrones where completely unrelated interests might make a red wedding joke or whatever.
 
I'm sorry to interrupt whatever is happening, but I just had to say I had this incredible dream that Snake was confirmed last night, and I felt like a total twat for telling everyone that I was 95% sure he would not be coming back.

The dream was given to give you a chance to repent, as the gods knew you wouldn't have that opportunity in real life. Since Snake isn't actually coming back.

Of course, i'm just talking about aggregate sites and news things that have a video-game-playing userbase. If you avoid those, you'll be fine.
 
I don't really know what else to do on the Internet, aside from checking Neogaf. I usually do that (mainly this thread, and any other significant news threads, especially about Nintendo games). Beyond that, I'll click over to Facebook (which I would also need to avoid completely) and email every once in a while. Some times I'll try to read articles about programming and such, but that swings dangerously close to being work. I need something to procrastinate with, and I'm not sure what if not Neogaf.

your dream was using 5% of your brain
 
Will this be another thread without veteran reveal? Friday is our last chance.

Yo, it's gonna happen. We've gotten boring reveals all week to ready us for the veteran, which'll be on Friday. Then once we're all really excited about Falco/Wario/Meta Knight/whatever, we'll have a thread about Takamaru lol.

We got Screen K.O., 3DS UI and Target Blast in past three weeks, Yeah, it's time for a veteran. Or we just end this thread before Friday 3 p.m. JST. lol

Does japanese people stream gaming anywhere? Really wanted to see someone streaming this in a month

I think some people will stream it before September 13 on twitch, you won't be banned on twitch if you stream Nintendo games before release date, right? If not then go to niconico. I should be able to get my copy on September 11 if everything goes well, sad I don't know how to stream.
 
We'll probably get a new character on the next Direct, together with a veteran. That's probably the reason why Sakurai is holding up on character reveals. Unless we'll see another surprise Smash trailer reveal.
