Guys, what if a Target warehouse employee steals the game from the warehouse and leaks 2 months in advance?

Nintendo better save a few fighters for a Day 1 patch to avoid leaks!

So Janurary will be the 20th anniversary of Smash as a series, wonder if we'll see any sort of content additions to celebrate that. My overly optimistic appraisal says that the Zebes, Sector Z, and Meta Crystal will be free stage DLC alongside Metal Mario as an echo.

We're really not. Smash 5 was a known game. A Smash centric direct was always going to be a showcase and demonstration. Basically "we're about to show you some cool shit for the next smash game" during Melee finals of all places.

It was an announcement for announcements related to Ultimate. That's really it. Everything else is semantics.

Oh so you really want to act like thinking that knowing the rest of the roster from a box is any better than suggesting that it may not have the full picture?

So we just have to accept this stupid Box that can be changed or edited anytime between now or then is definitive proof we won't get any more?

I'm sick of the box.

When do you guys expect the next Smash direct to happen? I really hope it's planned for early October. It feels like a decade since Isabelle was announced.

My logic was to give the Octoling the four weapon types that the Inkling forgot, those being...
  • Splatoon 1
    • Splat Charger
    • Heavy Splatling
  • Splatoon 2
    • Splat Dualies
      • The Octoling would likely use this for her/his jabs & would be her/his basic weapon instead of the Splattershot.
    • Splat Brella
...thus making the Octoling more of a semi-clone.
YES please!

And it fits the box theory too.

Wait a second
  • Sleeps in a box because he's a cat
  • Uses chairs because he's a heel
  • Has music playing when he enters

Incineroar unifies all the theories

I'm arguing that a box that already clearly has space saved for a certain number of unannounced characters in an arrangement that's not been seen in other marketing yet is probably final (except for adding the remaining characters space has been left for), yes. Like, you don't pay people to make placeholder arrangements like this (with blank space left) you know you're going to have to heavily edit the organization of for a half dozen - or however - many more characters at a later date.

And the argument that they'll only show characters on the box that get revealed up to some arbitrary date to stop leaks and the final announcements will be MEGA SUPER HYPE because of BUILD UP and MY EXPECTATIONS is laughable. If a character was that hype, they'd be on the box. Because even a semi-competent marketing division is going to want them on the box, in that case.

'They could change it!'
Yeah, no shit. They could also cut Mario from the roster at the last second and heck maybe they did build Shulk's render using Little Mac after all.

Box is worse than chair theory.
At least there was some interpretive work to be done with the chair theory, making it more conducive to discussion. Now everyone just digs their heels in and gets really dogmatic over hard numbers. I don't get it, and it's a real downer.

If we do get a Pokemon Direct with a newcomer, then I think we'll get a Smash Direct in mid-November. If there's nothing for Pokemon (I can't imagine there's much more to say), then we'll get it in late October.

Brock Reiher what if the last unique newcomer is not Incineroar but in fact Shadow?
Isabelle showed us "semi-clones" are still on the table.
The Ultimate life form sure seems like a fitting final reveal for the Ultimate Smash

The people of Japan have spoken, and Rowlet is definitely the Pokémon newcomer. It and Waddle Dee are the two highest-voted characters (that aren't already in Smash) on this poll from Nintendo Dream.

Octoling and Sans confirmed for DLC too.

If anything you're making a weird argument about what announcement means when its clearly defined as being a formal public statement, and nothing to do with showing off gameplay and content. A trailer or demo isnt an announcement, but it might contain announcements.

I'm thinking the next reveal might be earlier than expected, maybe even early October, since the direct was planned for the 6th, unless that pushed everything back, which I doubt.

Like I said, this is arguing about semantics at this point.

what if a target warehouse employee steals the game in order to leak it, but as target employees, they are that much easier for the nintendo ninjas to strike down from afar
