Does that mean we could have more than one character revealed in the Direct then?
Doesn't indicate in one way or another. A week of site items could be character, stage, music 1, music 2, echo. There could even be basic items we know about like known pokeballs but if the background is a new stage from the direct they can't show it.

If Wonder Red gets deconfirmed, I will leave this forum.

I will probably spend my wasted time making mediocre Twine games instead. One day maybe I'll make a good game.

Or my health will turn for the worse again, and I will waste away.

Obviously, Mario music last week was for the first reveal of the direct (Geno), while this week was supposed to be a new Golden Sun track (Isaac.)

Duh.

My understanding is they went 133>(day direct was supposed to air)>142>138>139>146.

So we're missing updates 134, 135, 136, 137, 140, 141, 143, 144, and 145.

The first 4 updates are probably related to our new fighter. Then there was supposed to be the Toon Link update, then something else we're missing, then Bowser, and then another group of missing posts which were probably unrelated to anything new.

Edit: I was one off, fixed.

There's no lie there, though!

It definitely does sound like they may have just swapped the current week's updates for next week's, so if the Direct is indeed rescheduled for this coming Thursday, the intended updates that were supposed to be put up in the wake of the Direct's original date could start going up then.

Gotta admit, I like Music Tuesdays when they aren't full of cursing disappointment. The Music Rule is a bit of a burden, though at least us it saves us a lot of time that we would otherwise use speculating about hopeless characters.

They probably did this because they wanted to adhere to the music rule. Imagine if they had a Xenoblade song go up today for example and then revealed Elma in the Direct, it would be against the rules.

I know I said every blog post after Bowser could easily be renumbered but I didn't expect it to be THIS much

I feel sorry for everyone in that Direct thread who were like "thank god hope they give Smash a break" lmao

So, I'm going to be at work during the Direct (assuming it starts at 3 pm PST on Thursday) and am wanting to wait until I get home and watch it before reading any news on it. What's the best way to do this without seeing anything? Can I just have the stream window open and refresh it after it has aired?

I really don't understand how people thought that was an actual option.

"We here at Nintendo are going to ignore our holiday flagship title three months away from release."

Smash Wii U also had exclusive directs amd appearances in general directs...

One thing that I just realized I want is for replays to work properly after balance patches, so that there's some way the game can load up previous balance patch values and correctly recreate old fights. I'll be very sad if replays in the final game don't work like that

Yeah that would probably work and is probably what I'll do when it airs. The stream usually starts airing 30 minutes before it starts to just start it like around 29 minutes and have it play as normal.

Okay cool, that was the plan. I could stream from my phone at work, but I can't connect the wifi and I don't want to risk a Smash reveal having to buffer. Thanks!

So what do we reckon.

Newcomer is guaranteed but what else beyond that; music? Echo? Stage? Memory?

"Hello, welcome to the Direct. Smash isn't actually our big holiday title, we actually have four more. Please be excited for new entries in the Star Fox, Metroid, F Zero, and Mother series. Also Final Fantasy VII remake is releasing on Switch... Available right now."n

I just remembered my entire Thursday afternoon at work is going to be packed with meetings. Assuming it's still a 3PM PT start, I'm going to miss the whole thing when it goes live.

I'm thinking we'll get a Newcomer at the start of the Direct. Then we'll have a Smash presentation as the final segment. After the segment we'll have another newcomer trailer. Then there will be a "one more thing" and it's a brief Echo announcement.

My Official Reckoning:

- One new series newcomer (posted alongside a memory) with stage and music updates
- One echo
- One miscellaneous (among already-revealed information)

After the August Direct the blog posts went:

1. Direct
2. Simon Trailer
3. King K Rool Trailer
4. Generic post saying the smash site has been updated
5. Bloody Tears Remix
6. Simon character video
7. Simon memory
8. King K Rool character video
9. King K Rool memory
10. Richter character video
11. Richter memory
12. Abra
13. Gangplank Galleon Remix
14. Dracula's Castle
15. Chrom character video
16. Dark Samus character video
17. Dark Samus memory

After that all the new characters were covered.

What this tells us is that until they won't post character videos for veterans until all the new characters are done, so those 4 missing updates have to be related to a newcomer, but the 2 after Toon Link are not. The ones after Toon Link could be related to a new item or assist trophy or a music post, however.

It always bummed me out when my replays didn't work.

Haha! We are in for the ride until it ends in few months. (or extended whenever they announced something)

Why do people think it's going to be a "new series"? I don't get it. Doesn't it just point to a character that would have a "memory" post? Even Daisy got one.

Can someone tell me what this "Music Rule Theory" is?

That no franchises will be repeated when showing off music in the blog and that every newcomer will get a new song shown off.
