Oh sweet, I didn't realize they were doing it at a reasonable time for this one! It was getting hard to watch them at 10 AM during work hours. But at 6 I should hopefully be able to make it home just in time for it to start. Either way I can watch the replay right after instead of waiting until after work.

I think it's pretty likely we'll get a more concrete release day in tomorrow's Direct, but I don't think the game will come out any earlier than, say, September.
I'm hoping that's not the case <_<;
Unless Nintendo is gonna throw us Bayonetta 2 or X before Smash. I'm tired of these silly droughts, I just picked up Donkey Kong the other day so I have that to tide me over (I need to beat the other games Wonderful 101 & Pikmin 3 still lol...)

Oh man September would not be good for me, Destiny comes out that month 
If not July/August I say wait until November/December, but I'm excited for it either way.

Samurai is a meme.
Ridley would be such a megaton in the Smash Bros. community that I suspect they'd save him for E3.
Bayonetta would cause similar meltdowns, albeit you'd have the tweenager fans that want Shadow the Hedgehog raising a ruckus.
Satisfying but safely predictable reveals are Palutena, Mii and Pac-Man. The leaks/rumors to their inclusion are yet to be debunked. And there are clues like the Find Mii stage, Palutena's Temple, etc.
The Monolith Soft person tweeting this Direct makes a few scenarios seem possible: 1) Monolith likes helping a brother out; 2) Smash Direct won't be just Smash news, but also include mentions of other upcoming games, like X; and/or 3) playable Monolith character in Smash, perhaps Shulk -- this would feel right given Sakurai posting pics of the sword at the concert, and a Nomura-esque-looking character with a red sword and clairvoyant powers would certainly feel unique even with a couple other blonde-ish swordsmen on the roster.
Of course, there is the question of a Fire Emblem rep, with the latest installment, Awakening, having no shortage of wonderful characters and character combinations to choose from. I'm still rooting for a Pair Up character in the form of Chrom & Lucina.
A super-satisfying veterans reveal would be some combination of characters including Snake (now more likely to be back after the Raiden voice actor mentioning his character's involvement in Smash, although it might've been a miscommunication; personally, I've always believed he will return). Ideally, they'd show veterans that people feel uncertain about for whatever reason... Ice Climbers, R.O.B. and Wolf would be nice.
So many exciting possibilities! ...as well as the not-so-exciting possibility that they won't show any new characters, lol.

Palutena, Hades, and Viridi will provide the play by play with sarcastic snipes.

I guess Sakurai and his team enjoys his moveset from Melee/Brawl.
He is a Ganondorf player afer all.

I'm really hoping for Shulk. Xenoblade is an awesome (relatively) new first party IP and it deserves a rep
Shulk with a Riki assist trophy.

Likewise. Would love a Xenoblade stage along with some of the tracks in Smash Bros.

Yeah, even if it doesn't get a rep this time, Smash needs at least a Xenoblade stage. So much potential for amazing there

You know what? I just got Kid Icarus a few days ago and I'm loving it.
but I guess my soul is just a dried up husk or whatever because the very first thing I did was
- boot up the game
- start up campaign
- "The people are celebrating the return of the goddess Palutena!" HOLD THE DAMN PHONE, GOOD LORD SON
- exit campaign
- options
- voice acting volume 0%
- top screen subtitles

You're doing it wrong

There's just something about the voice acting in this game that rubs me the wrong way
all of it. Well not even all of it but Pit sounds like he's got a hamster lodged in his throat

I hope Sakurai apologizes for his crude statement toward Waluigi.
He cut me deep that day.

Lucina would be cool, but she'd probably need to be paired with Chrom. I think it'd be cool to have them paired up as a reference to the system in awakening and play like a fusion between Zelda and the Ice Climbers. You'd play as one, the other would be AI controlled and do stuff every so often, but you could switch which one is the AI and they'd have different movesets

Completely disagree. The VO in Kid Icarus is actually really well done. And with all the action going on as the story unfolds, you're just juggling more things with reading subtitles.

Nah yo, I feel the same way. I dislike Pit's english voice, and Palutena's is a bit annoying in a condescending way.

The game must sound so different. Voice acting and writing are over the top, with so much awesome lines.
Whoa, this is a thing?

It's reminiscent of a saturday morning cartoon, and it's cheesy, but just grin and bear it, because it's honestly worth it. It'll grow on you (i hope), but it adds to the game so much.

Actually two top most wanted characters for me!
This is more shocking than wrestlemania last night. What the hell?

Eh, it was a pretty fitting way for him to go out, I think. He's always been the butt of Nintendo's jokes.

I'm hoping for Wonder Red as one of the new characters.
With regards to the release date, I think it all depends on if Nintendo have a big unannounced game for release this November. If not then I think Smash will be kept as their big November game. Iwata said at a previous financial meeting that people do not know all the 2014 WiiU line up. The big Nov game if there is one will probably be the NFC game.

If we actually get Shulk, I will lose my mind. Absolutely lose my mind.
If we somehow get Shulk and Isaac playable, I will sell my soul.

Don't be. Mark my words, it'll be fine! If it's delayed, it won't be announced tomorrow, that's for sure.
