If he intentionally announced it early then we must be getting some big news.....
I can't let myself get more hyped than I already am.

It sounds like one of the "working titles" Nintendo includes on their press release:
A new title by Monolith Soft for Wii U
The Legend of Zelda for Wii U
Super Smash Bros for Wii U

...It's a Direct specifically dedicated to a game that we don't know much about yet. Of course it's going to feature some big news.

If we get something like bramble blast in brawl again, then it will officially become OOTY
Lol how nice of him. He's giving us time to cancel all our appointments.

When was the last time a game specific direct didn't feature the announcement of its release date?
Four days wasn't enough time for me to get off of work, Sak'rai. ):

The insanity is reaching a dangerous level and it's only Saturday!
GAF won't make it for 4 more days. Expectations will start getting to "put Batman and Naruto and the Powerpuff Girls in the game Sakurai!" levels...oh wait
GAF servers be like:
why is the guy on the left holding a sword
is he dead
is this murder
OMG batman new villain arkham knight confirmed...I knew you were an insider :-o

I can see some people are being nutty. I can't blame them.
Let's just hope they don't push too many buttons. Nothing sucks like that happening mid hype and then Duckroll coming in SWAT team style to close the
I dunno, I'd say there is big difference between nutty and crazy 
I'm pretty hyped for this though, we just don't know a lot about the game. Honestly, I kind of prefer it this way. Back with Brawl and the crazy JAPAN TIME stuff, we were over exposed to Smash hype. Especially us Euro folk when they released Brawl in June of 2008 :/

To be honest, the things I want to know about are pretty much gameplay related at this point. Yes, characters are great and all, but having picked up Brawl again recently I've realized how bogged down the game can feel at times.

Regarding netcode I trust bamco.

I totally agreed with you. That is one of few reasons why I'm pleased with daily images. It's not really Dojo but people still constantly complained that they want Dojo. When I was thinking that I don't really want Dojo to happens again.
SSB4 Daily Image FTW!
I'm not worried about the netcode as I'm sure it will be at least better than brawls. I'm more concerned about the online mode ( if there is one). Brawls online mode was extremely bare bones and limited. If you didn't have any online friends to play with, you were stuck playing 2 min matches. I want full control on stocks, time limits, items ect. There's no reason that can't be done. No technical reason anyway.
Brawls online mode was the biggest gaming let down last gen for me, I really hope they improve it.
I'll be watching you very closely Mr Sakurai... You better deliver with this direct

Well the Eshop listing for Mario Kart 8 has leaderboards. I'm sure Smash will get those.

No it won't... Smash Bros has never been about Online Play, even if they have a great online mode (or none at all) it STILL won't mean much to anyone. Smash Bros has always been a party fighter.
Is... is that gentleman on the left rattling a sabre?GAF servers be like:
That's it -- I've been absent too long from the streets.
*swishes cape and glides out the window*
Safe to say that Subspace or whatever is replacing it will probably be shown during this direct.
It's too painful to get hyped about newcomers. Not for fear of disappointment (
), but because it makes the wait unbearable. When it comes to gaming, nothing gets Neiteio more hyped than Smash Bros... except maybe new Pokémon.
the omission of Ridley's surfboarding nephew, Radley
I really hope for something like it was in melee but then a bit more meaty. Also really sad to see subspace go. I really loved that about brawl but i am probably in the minorty on that.

I completely agree with that! IMO, overhyping was one of the biggest problems Brawl had, besides the fact that most people knew everything about the game when it came out. The daily images give us enough information to keep hyped and discussing the game, while it just doesn't reveal that much about the final game.
Said that, its nice having some big info dumps every once in a while, so this direct is really welcome.
I've used it and the input lag isn't too significant to me. Wii U connected to an Asus Monitor with Project M + Gamecube controller adapter = awesome.
Wii U Smash Bundle, coming with a Bluetooth Wavebird controller.
No kidding, Sakurai said that GCN controller is the best controller to play Smash

There will be over 50 characters in Smash 4 including transformations.
brawl included in the wii u game, melee in the 3ds game. wii u game has online play and 3ds game does not.
One of the spaces on Rosti's bingo board should be IntelliHeath loses an avatar bet.
Regarding the game itself, it gets very easy to constantly say who you want to see in it, but to be honest, I'd really love to see more about the features and how they've changed or upgraded from Brawl. If this Direct was literally nothing but commentary on how robust the online system was, I'd be content too.
I'm also very very interested in seeing the mechanical direction of the game. I really hope Sakurai comes out and confirms that you won't be able to cancel early launch hit stun into air dodges more so than anything else. The exhibition match at E3 last year showed that there might be a cancel out of tumbling state when the hit stun has finished playing out and I think I'd be cool with that but it'd really be nice if they got closer to how it was handled in Melee, even if things like wave dashing/directional air dodges might not be back.

I already threw that challenge out in other thread. No one wouldn't bite my challenge. I bet that there will be 50 or more than 50 characters in Smash 4 (counting those transformation and pokemon Trainer's pokemons)
No one bite it yet, yet people are talking about cuts.
