I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't announce another character from now until the release of the game. It makes absolutely no sense to show all of the secrets before the game is released. One would have to guess that he's not going to show everything from the get-go. I want at least a couple of surprises.
There was an interview with the NOA translator guys about the Dojo site a while back, talking about how they get the daily updates way in advance, something like four to six weeks before we see them. judging from the way the updates went from amazing to so-so in the last month, i assume the game was delayed at the last minute, well after they had already come up with a lot of the really good updates.
since the lead time for the site i so large, it took a while for us to see the results in the daily updates. they had to spread what was left of the megaton updates really far apart to fill in the extra months. from here on out, we should probably expect most of these updates to be pretty blah with the occasional awesome one thrown in.

Well, I'm just thinking that Smash bros. was indeed delayed for marketing reasons instead of content reasons ( just like Twilight Princess ) And these delays are the ones that really piss me off. Nintendo obviously didn't want it to compete with Galaxy over the holidays. Oh well, I mean its not a year delay, but still a delay that shouldn't keep us from playing the game right now.
I haven't really hated on the updates as much as some of you (maybe because collecting statistics gives me a bit of emotional distance), but I do find it odd that unlike with Items from Previous Installments, he didn't even give a description of these Pokemon...
It's quite possible, but the reason a good number of people are still holding out is that October was so, so full of win. He really loaded up that month with the greatness of 3.5 months combined, but the question is why he would do that if he knew there'd be nothing major afterward... Even though the delay is brought up all the time, there would have still been November before the original North American release date.BuddhaRockstar said:

I kind of get the feeling that they're trying to throw in all sorts of updates they hadn't planned for since the 2 month delay took place...

Heh. Even if this really was their thinking (I don't think it was, personally), little did they know that Galaxy would do amazingly enough in the USA that it wouldn't have mattered, while Galaxy would do solid-but-not-spectacular enough in Japan that it... also wouldn't have mattered.perfectchaos007 said:

Man, Sakurai really likes to extend his foreplay. I'm sure once we get to the next REAL megaton we will finally reach that blissful state of mind where we feel above a game like this and games in general. Gamers everywhere will be soaking in their juices with a stupid grins on their face and never touch a controller again. Is Sakurai becoming both the messiah and the anti-christ of videogames?

Really not seeing the big deal here. The thread title is stunningly accurate at least.
Tomorrow's update:
Notice: I'm playing Brawl right now!
You may be wondering why the updates have been rather lackluster lately. Well, the truth is, I've been to busy playing the game to care about the updates.

Doesn't this look fun?
The game's finished, but we're not going to ship it yet. Sorry! I know you'd like to be playing it now.

We're even playing online with our friends in America!
I've gotten really good with - oh wait, I haven't revealed that character yet. Well, maybe I'll meet you online some time!

You know, if the screen wasn't blurred out, you'd be able to make out the complete character selection screen!

I'm just glad that they showed all the returning pokemon at one time. They could have easily showed each returning pokemon one at a time as a single updated for that day. This forces them to scramble for more information just to show off.
Next update would probably be how the set your audio output to either mono of stereo.:lol

To me it looks different from the SM version of the Crystal Flash, which has her floating (in the fetal position) inside a perfectly round, pulsating energy ball.
Check out the video here, ZSS Final Smash is at 39 seconds:

I can't see her floating inside the energy ball--maybe it's just the bad video quality?
Hey guys, the bright side is we HAD to get another pokemon update out of the way at some point or another... I mean, if you've been following Jiggy's stats, we knew it was the least recent type of update before tonight.
AND tonight was a tuesday update. Most Tuesday updates have been notoriously boring since the beginning. (It's Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays that usually get good updates). It was pretty obvious that we were going to get something along the lines of a pokemanz update tonight...
Again, as I said, at least now it's out of the way.
ALSO: Expect the quality of the updates to ramp up the more time goes by. It makes perfect sense that last month and (so far) this month have had tame updates... the game doesn't need to build up hype right now (two months before release)... it needs to build it up in the month before release.
Trust me, we are going to have our megatonz soon.

i haven't been keeping up with the thread as much lately (for obvious reasons) so apologies if this has been covered already, but i'm guessing the past month of relatively weak updates is to help pad out the extra updates that were created by delaying the game.
it wouldn't surprise me if there was a rough plan for releasing big info based off the original december release dates. now that the game has been delayed by roughly 6 to 8 weeks, other updates to the site needed to be filled. it's like we're going through the smash dojo equivalent of anime fillers now...bring on the main arc again sakurai!

Pretty much. Also, you reminded me of something that I just edited back into the stats: we can now say that 4 of the 7 Poke Ball updates so far showed up on a Tuesday. That's over 57%. >_> It was destiny.MrCheez said:Hey guys, the bright side is we HAD to get another pokemon update out of the way at some point or another...

I really think I am just gonna stop checking this thread and going straight to the site.
I just came to the realization that there is no point in coming here. The whining just gets annoying.

I'm done with smash updates. If there's anything worthwhile, I'll eventually find out.
