Particularly in NeoGAF, before the usa release, a good amount of people had already made up their minds about xcx " It has 3 stars in Amazon JP, IT MUST BE SHIT"

Apparently Wavedashing isn't totally bad at least for some characters. Ice Climbers actually have a full Melee-esqe Wavedash. So in the current build maybe some characters are gonna have viable Wavedashes assuming they either take it out or distribute it to the rest of the cast.

ikr? I don't think he's a 100% safe pick, but yeesh some people seem REALLY eager to see him deconfirmed.

It's really just out of my need to stop seeing the name Vergeben anywhere when the person has literally only guessed the following things correctly:

- Ridley
- Simon
- No cuts from Smash 4/5
- Some returning vets (somehow missed Pichu, Young Link, Pokemon Trainer)

None of which are even remotely difficult to put out there and get right. The most far-fetched one is Snake, which plenty of people seriously entertained happening. Combine this with the fact that they can get a pass on getting numerous other (non-Smash) things wrong because "multiple sources."

In this strange version of reality we're in, you can take some of my own roster predictions, state them as facts, and say I have multiple sources; boom, I have as much credibility as them.

Xenoblade X was a compelling world to explore, and I enjoyed the combat more than 2.

Elma was a good character. Quite frankly she could've and should've been the protagonist instead of Cross.

It'd be nice if we got more Elmas and less submissive passiveness in the next Monolith Soft game's women characters.

Elma basically was the main character. At least for the main story missions. They even call your group Team Elma.

I liked Xenoblade X when I first bought it, hated it 10 minutes in, was super disappointed two hours in, and then liked it in March 2017 after I learned that it was basically a Breath of the Wild proof of concept. I would never replay it or recommend it in a million years tho

Well Xenoblade 2 is already filled with more proactive women characters. Pyra is the only one who's kind of passive but she's still pretty active for her archetype. The female characters in 2 are all tops.

Why does no one think we're getting Skull Kid now? The chairs and everything from the last direct would point to that...

UNLESS Sakurai isn't in this direct at all and Skull Kid is shown in the next smash direct?

Fair enough. The fact that nobody was able to guess Richter, a notable 3rd party character that was part of a really expensive CGI trailer, does paint a massive redflag on most supposed leakers. Still, rallying behind them and then dogpiling them when they turn out to be wrong is always part of the fun :P

I really like Xenoblade X even if I think 1 and 2 are better. I really enjoyed my time with it but I kind of dipped out after putting in 60 hours for the main story and trying to fill out the map as much as I could.

For all the crap people give 2 for it's QOL and Blade system I would rather deal with Xenoblade 2's bullshit than needing to hunt down Party members I want to recruit all around New LA and the fact that they don't gain experience. It made wanting to pursue the rest of the game's content feel like a chore straight out of the gate.

Still super want a Switch port tho.

There is evidence that they swapped yesterday's music update with next week's. Which tells us that the music was related to the newcomer in the direct, and since each series only gets 1 music post on the site, and Zelda already has a track posted, Skull Kid won't be revealed tomorrow unless we get 2 newcomers.

Might be busy at work soon, so I might end up missing the obscure character of the day... :(

The Music Rule was soft confirmed thanks to Slot Theory.

I'd argue Xenoblade 2's HUD is worse, but I know I'm going to lose that debate.

A font size increaser would've done wonders for XCX.
For real. I was excited to learn about New LA for like five seconds until I realized they expected to read that much in that font size.

If there's a blank body pillow in the background of Sakurai's appearance on the direct, which character does it confirm?

Good point, however maybe Zelda will be first to get another music post. I mean, the Zelda songs were highlighted in the last direct (that screen with the ellipses that showed there was more coming).

Do we still believe the chairs and couch were hints??

What's the Slot theory

(I feel like this is a BOFA setup)

Wait what's Slot Theory? I'm losing track of all these rules.

The updates are numbered in Japan, and they skipped a bunch this week so we have empty slots. I could be wrong but I believe the highest number is the Pikmin song, and they've gone back and forth between this week and last week otherwise.

Thus, Slot Theory™ dictates that they skipped all the way ahead a week to give us next week's song, because this week's song could not be added until after the newcomer was revealed, in accordance with the Music Rule.

RIP Skull Kid, Bandana Dee, and Geno. I will miss two of you.

I kinda only get anything out of the part where leakers get BTFO, which is why I loved the Robin reveal so much.

We'll see though!

Why is this a thing.
Also wow so much of this article is asspatty. Which is fine but definitely seems like something Wikipedia would normally nuke from orbit.

None of them (unfortunately) stand a chance over Rex. Period. Elma is really the only shot there is for a female Xenoblade character. And we really, really need a lot more cool girls in Smash. And Elma's cool. Ergo.
