Support NeoGAF

[SuperAngelo64]

What if he isn't in the game? Will they get banned for two weeks and will each of them have to buy you a game?

No, my bets are usually stupid and don't make much sense.

 

[Linkhero1]

No, my bets are usually stupid and don't make much sense.

I see. Well good luck with your bets, and next time make sure you know what you're getting yourself into.

Edit: I predict Megaman

 

[Rotanibor]

Can I get in on that bet too, Buddy? I wouldn't mind possibly getting a free copy of smash without having to risk anything myself.

 

[MrCheez]

There's still 12/17 which is the actual anniversary, and it could be that Sakurai just doesn't care about stuff like that and he'll be announced whenever.

About 12/17... that date is actually past the original release date of the game. I'm assuming the entire Dojo update schedule was planned all way in advance, so when they first mapped it all out they couldn't have picked that day to reveal him.

Although of course they could have just pushed the Megaman announcement back when they had to restructure the last few months of updates and stretch everything out because of the delay... BUT it seems like the day they announce Megaman is something they'd decide through collaboration with Capcom, right? So maybe because Capcom is involved the day Megaman is revealed would remain unchanged from the pre-delay schedule?

I dunno, all just more and more speculation. Wheeeeeeee

Everytime you call me buddy it gives me that feeling you get when you're playing cards with someone and you know the other guy is using his hand to conceal his switchblade. :[

 

[JohnTinker]

See, if THAT CHARACTER gets announced tonight, then I think it wouldn't be too far fetched to say that Sakurai himself, or someone close to him, reads GAF.

Spoiler

however I'm in the camp hoping he isn't announced because I'm tired of all the baseless speculation and runaround conversation thats polluted this thread

 

[scottnak]

Whooo. Bet's on!! It's a megabet!

At least no matter what the update... its gonna get excitin'

 

[GamerSoul]

i'm predicting an update featuring a blue character, hopefully Sheik or Captain Falcon.

 

[CurseoftheGods]

Has it been confirmed that Nintendo is adding one more 3rd party character? =/

 

[Rotanibor]

Just hope Megaman is annouced tonight, Buddy. As long as that happens you won't have to worry about any ol' switchblade.

 

[JohnTinker]

Has it been confirmed that Nintendo is adding one more 3rd party character? =/

See, thats the thing. Sakurai said in an interview a LONG TIME AGO that there may only be 2 or 3 third party playable characters. And thats all he's said about it. Even IF they do announce MegaMan as a playable character, there will STILL be persistent speculation about some obscure and insignificant Square character or a Namco character or some sort.

 

[Zek]

Captain Falcon's true color is pink.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

It would be pretty funny if we were all expecting Mega Man today and he revealed, like, Slime.

 

[Milabrega]

Next in the pecking order would be Bomberman. They saved the Sonic announcement to coincide with the delay, lets hope if we get a Megaman announcement or any other third party character, it also doesn't coincide with a delay.

 

[Keylime]

What time do they update the site again? Like 2AM EST?

 

[scottnak]

11PM Pacific,
2AM Eastern

I would leave these boards in shame, forever.

 

[Firestorm]

Has it been confirmed that Nintendo is adding one more 3rd party character? =/

Sakurai said 1 - 2 on top of Snake. After seeing Sonic's crazy reception, I think Nintendo wants to do more. I'd expect at least another for sure. I'm leaning towards Mega Man.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

Newcomer: Virtual Boy

 

[Lobster]

Lets hope this week is as good as last week.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

I think people are going to get a little batshit if today isn't a character update.

 

[D3VI0US]

He is certainly the most qualified of any Capcom character. I mean you got Konami and Sega so one can only assume Capcom and Namco would also be allowed to have a guest character if they wanted to.

 

[JohnTinker]

Predicting a Subspace/Boss Character update for tonight

 

[Grecco]

Has it been confirmed that Nintendo is adding one more 3rd party character? =/

Im pretty sure Nintendo said that was the reason for the delay

 

[Lobster]

Im pretty sure Nintendo said that was the reason for the delay

No they didn't. Sakura said he wanted us to be playing the best he could do.

 

[Jiggy]

Ironically enough, this is the one night I have a little bit of unfinished business to attend to, so I might be a little late with the statistics. Not much, maybe 10-15 minutes, but we'll see.

 

[Big Icarus]

Predicting a Subspace/Boss Character update for tonight

Yeah, it's been a while since there's been a Subspace update. I'm guessing we'll get another movie. (Isn't there another Pit scene that was shown at E 4 All, or the Princess and Kirby movie?)

I would like to see another boss though. I think Kraid has got to be a single player boss fight, if Ridley's not. So I'd like to see which Metroid villain gets the boss treatment, as it'd be a good clue if we'll see a playable Ridley or not.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Wasn't Bowser already confirmed to be a boss in Subspace Emissary? Regardless, playable Ridley would own hard, and playable Ridley + giant Ridley as a boss would be so awesome.

 

[Gaborn]

Ummm... this is NeoGAF. I think some people have already arrived.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

Ummm... this is NeoGAF. I think some people have already arrived.

Piplup and Ike tend to agree.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Four minutes, folks.

 

[sprsk]

4 minutes boys.

edit: 3 actually.

 

[Linkhero1]

That's probably the reason it got delayed, unless there's another reason I haven't heard of yet. Maybe Capcom, or any other 3rd party for that matter, saw how much of a reaction Sonic got and asked Nintendo if they could put in a character.

My Prediction - MEGAMAN!

 

[Rotanibor]

I predict Ryu.

 

[VegaShinra]

I predict Cloud.









:lol

 

[Stage On]

I predict a lame item (trying not to get my hopes up)

[Rotanibor]

I hope this means we're getting Ryu instead.

 

[yankeeforever2]

We need the SSBM failure screen.

 

[Golden Darkness]

<Iceberg>

The Ice Climbers’ Final Smash is Iceberg!

Calling it Iceberg is a bit problematic. I mean, it’s not like...

Ahh! I guess Iceberg IS about all you can call this!

When you get the Smash Ball and do your move...

The duo does a high-five, and...

CRRRRRSSSSSSHHHHH!

It happens even in the big city, just like this...

Ice doesn’t just make the available ledges smaller and more slippery, but it also damages your opponents!

But, of course, the Ice Climbers can handle it no problem. They look as cool and refreshed as ever.

Sometimes, you can even freeze opponents.
Now that’s just cold!
