This is too hilarious! Gotta love Sakurai!

 

[Roo]

The pic came earlier, the investor's meeting will reveal us Palutena as playable!

Speaking of which, when is it happening?

 

[foxuzamaki]

So wait, is this a confirmed stage? Why is he being so secretive about it?

he is obviously trolling, he was probably just gonna reveal the stage tonight if it wasent for that leak, I think this is hinting towards palu being the next newcomer reveal, remember when the mario galaxy stage was hinted at with kirby, then it was finally revealed, soon after that rosalina was confirmed for smash 4.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

I am pretty sure I saw this same statue inside the Pyrosphere hole.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Speaking of which, when is it happening?

10:00AM tomorrow, JST. Or, just over 18 hours from now.

 

[Red Arremer]

I am pretty sure I saw this same statue inside the Pyrosphere hole.

If I could like posts, this would be a +1 like.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Masterful trolling by Sakurai today. Damn.

 

[Fandangox]

Sakurai has mastered trolling.

 

[Cody_D165]

LOL

 

[Mit-]

Wii Sports Resort plane flies into Heaven to see this statue

 

[Shun]

Out of curiosity, why is it called a Kanye rest?

Hungrybox is the only pro Puff player after Mango. When he plays smash, he listens to Yeezus to get pumped. Thus the Kanye Rest was born.

"Y'all wondered what I'd do if I didn't win, I guess we'll never know..."

Iconic.

 

[Nia]

He is teasing us. Palutena reveal soon.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I am pretty sure I saw this same statue inside the Pyrosphere hole.

Your great, man.

 

[oreomunsta]

I am pretty sure I saw this same statue inside the Pyrosphere hole.

I know the one you're talking about, but that was actually the Ridley statue. It was left in there since the developers thought the statue was too big for the stage.

 

[Roo]

10:00AM tomorrow, JST. Or, just over 18 hours from now.

Thanks!
Can't believe I'm going to miss it =/

 

[Red Arremer]

Thanks!

I don't think they're going to broadcast that.

 

[TheCongressman1]

I don't think they're going to broadcast that.

Yeah, all they said was there would be an english translation, right?

 

[Red Arremer]

Yeah, all they said was there would be an english translation, right?

I believe so, yes. It's not really a press event, after all.

 

[munchie64]

Off the top of my head, I can't think of trolling this blatant from Sakurai.

 

[Roo]

I don't think they're going to broadcast that.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think someone said there would be live tweets or something like that.

 

[SkullHydra]

 

[TheCongressman1]

Right, still should be pretty good. And I absolutely can't wait for a Direct. It's been far too long...

 

[StreetsAhead]

They always post the slides and any materials on their Investor Relations site in English and Japanese. The Q&A post-meeting will be transcribed and translated, but we might not get it for a couple of days, Japanese version is usually up within 24 hours though.

@gibbogame on Twitter usually live tweets the conferences as they happen.

 

[MrSaturn99]

LOL wow.

I wonder what the full stage looks like.

 

[Azure J]

Off the top of my head, I can't think of trolling this blatant from Sakurai.

"He takes the sword out..."

 

[C.Olimar788]

Welp, I'm suddenly quite certain that we're getting a Palutena reveal pretty soon!

And I was proven right.

Cross-posting from the other thread, here's tomorrow's photo:

 

[Not]

A lot of Palutena/Kid Icarus acknowledgement from The Sak lately. I'll be seriously shocked if we don't get an ND reveal for Palutena soon due to the leak.

 

[RomanceDawn]

I am pretty sure I saw this same statue inside the Pyrosphere hole.

Hahahahahaha! That's funny man!

If there was ever a doubt that Sakurai was not deliberate with his trolling then this should wash all that away.

I know the snooties will just roll their eyes at me but this picture just solidifies my older theories that Sakurai was trolling Ridley from the get go. Giving us a vague idea that Ridley could be a hazard and commenting about how big the hole was in Pyrosphere. I once was blind but now I see.

 

[Shadow Hog]

So is this That First Town or That Burning Town

 

[liveman789]

People, they aren't going to be revealing Smash Bros characters at an investors meeting, if that's what you honestly hoping for...

 

[J@hranimo]

Ok wow. So this man is definitely trolling thee fuck outta us. Gotta respect it, but dammit! lol

This all but confirms her now. Just gotta wait for the next big reveal.

Hahahahahaha! That's funny man!

I've been thinking this too actually. Gotta believe!

 

[TheUntamedLegend]

Does Alfonzo replace the statue when you play as Palutena?

 

[Not]

No but they will at the Nintendo Direct that will undoubtedly follow it within the month.

EDIT:

lol

"...and he puts it back!"[/QUOTE]
Oh yes. I wasn't quite as affected by that though.

 

[TheCongressman1]

Damn, just did the same thing.

 

[Kyzon]

I'm glad someone made this.

I mentioned that this would be hilarious in the IRC

 

[GamerSoul]

I still can't believe he used that damn hole for the Pic of the Day. We've come a long way already. lol

 

[RagnarokX]

 

[Cody_D165]

Damn, just did the same thing.

heh, your Ridley is better colored though. I kinda went for the quick-n-dirty shop

 

[TheCongressman1]

Haha, yeah. Gotta be quick on the draw.

 

[Jagsrock]

Sakurai you sly dog.

 

[Red Arremer]

/dead

 

[SuperSah]

Why is everyone going crazy?

Was there a new Palutena leak recently or we all still assuming Sakurai's teasing?

 

[MrSaturn99]

Good eye. Palutena's Temple it is, then.

 

[Jagsrock]

He's definitely teasing.

 

[foxuzamaki]

just FYI its been like 3 months since the last wiiU stage

 

[doemaaan]

10 bucks says she's not a playable character.

 

[Shun]

"Everyone wanted to know what I'd do if Palutena got in, I guess we'll never know..."

Palutena deconfirmed.
