Ah ok, got it. What else has this told us besides the gap left by the delay?
That there will definitely be a newcomer in the Direct. The three missing posts are probably:
  • The trailer from the Direct.
  • The newcomer's character trailer.
  • The memories post of the newcomer.
But if the newcomer doesn't have/need a memory post, then there could also potentially be one of these:
  1. A stage to go along with the newcomer.
  2. An echo fighter also revealed in the Direct (assuming they wouldn't have a memory post either).

How badly does this bury the Karate Joe fake? I can't remember the details of those file names.

r_n analyzed the leak more and we both concluded it was full of crap. it fails to give seperate Karate Joe updates (like the memory stuff) their own numbers, instead they were all numbered 134 like his supposed fighter of the day blog post

theres also the fact the video trailer is in the folder as oppose to being on youtube (site doesnt host videos)

It doesn't bury it at all; the leak already buried itself because the file names were one number off. If that leak was real, we would have to assume that Karate Joe's memory post would be posted before his reveal trailer or his 30-second character trailer, which won't happen.

I feel like if 136 or whatever is an Echo, it'll be another Simon/Richter deal

I don't think we'll get anything more than a single trailer for Smash in the Direct

I think we'll have a newcomer(s) and echoes and they just updated the numbering for this week because these posts don't seem like they're planned too far in advance based on the typos

It's best to assume that we're only getting one new character guys. There can only be two if neither of them have a memories post (which is pretty unlikely), because one of those three posts is definitely the CG trailer from the Direct (which have gotten their own blog posts for the previous four newcomers).

I guess that's also possible. It might have given too much away if they left a larger gap in the numbering. Still, it proves that there will only be one original newcomer, because the Simon and K. Rool CG trailer were posted on the blog immediately after the Direct, before their blog posts.

My spreadsheet colors the squares for every character that are featured in Today's Fighter:

Was too busy counting updates, but here

Luigi will probably be shown when his game comes out, so my bingo must await another day....


Japan, and only Japan, will sometimes do supplementary updates for characters featuring their game of origin or something else related to them. They are called "Today's Memory" even if they're relatively recent or just released.

Thanks both of you! :D

Well

Most of the likely third parties that people speculate about (that aren't Geno) didn't debut on Nintendo platforms. So if, say, Kos-Mos, Heihachi or Sora are in the game, they ain't getting memory posts.

Unless we get a double character reveal.
Kos-Mos and Elma in one trailer!

So, if there's three updates, one is definitely a newcomer. Beyond that we could have:

- newcomer memory (or memories)
- echo fighter
- newcomer stage
- new assist trophy/item

I kind of feel like newcomer + stage is most likely... just dropping one Echo Fighter seems a bit odd to me, and three trailers without anything to break them up is also kind of weird. Like, Incineroar and a new Pokemon stage or something. (But then what memory would he get, like a 3DS game from two years ago?)

My prediction is

134 is a brand new trailer
135 is a character bio (with 30 seconds video)
136 is a memory

So only newcomer from General Direct like an old time! What if people were right that we aren't going to get any direct for Smash Bros until November? How do you feel if we are only going to get Isabelle, Ken and Incineroar as last three characters for Smash Bros?

After the Direct the blog update for the day included the CG trailer for Castlevania, K. Rool's "Rivals" trailer, both Simon and K. Rool's profiles, and the Bloody Tear remix, all at once. Then they shared Richter on Monday.

Edit: Wait no, even K. Rool was on the same day. Anyways, the Kirby Bomber item was entry 93 based on the image filename and Abra, the update which followed Richter, was 105. So it went...

08/06: Bomber - 93

08/08:
- Direct archive
- Vampire Killer trailer
- Rivals trailer
- "The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate website has been updated with more information about stages, items, and game modes."
- Bloody Tears / Monster Dance
- Simon
- K. Rool

08/12: Richter

08/13: Abra - 105

Both of those characters as last reveals would be severely disappointing. Medusa, Skull Kid, Issac, Geno I'd settle for just one.
