I think that's reading too much into it. This could be anything from nothing (per usual) to a smaller reveal to the last info blowout before release.
I think I heard that you lose the refilled Ink if you get hit during it. Kind of like Cloud's Limit now. Then again it is a little dumb considering how reliant Inkling is on Ink compared to Cloud
I don't think it would be an info blowout as why would they do a demo event right before a big blowout and it being restricted? The idea that there is an announcement soon to begin with is contentious but if there was I would say it's a character announcement.
The videos will be dropping around the time an announcement happens so people who jump on the Smash hype again will be able to entertain themselves before a potential direct.
I'm coming up with a blank as to what is supposed to be different between VS Mode and Boss RushTerrible 4chan "leak" incoming:
Man, what the fuck is even going on with the perspective here?
Seems pointless. We're going to see the same stuff we already know.
Not all media can attend E3 and these events also have other known Nintendo holiday titles like Diablo 3 & Let's Go. Even if the same stages/characters are shown, people still crave Smash Bros. anything.
They won't go out too far in advance. Smash Direct can be any time between now and about November 21 as they'll proabably want it out before Thanksgiving and that would give reviewers about 2 weeks with the game, which seems fine for review
Whats with people trying to force trailers into the story.Terrible 4chan "leak" incoming:
Man, what the fuck is even going on with the perspective here?
Come on it's the same build they've showed at E3. I don't think people not in the know would be that much more interested in seeing footage from the same version of the game that's been available for 4 months.
Nate straight up said that they have to commentate over the footage which is why this event is so disappointing because we won't even have that.
They're getting this out of the way so they reveal actual new Smash info for everyone to cover.
It's info other media outlets never got though. Now they can all get to play the E3 demo and be caught up to speed. They can all show some little stuff here and there that wasn't allowed from before. Now that Nintendo will be done milking the same old E3 demo they can move on to new Smash info for November.
That's the point. They aren't giving new info this month, so they are keeping Smash in the news with old info via media hands-on previews.
What is this stuff not allowed to be shown before? Are you talking about the menu music? Because right now that is just assumptions, and if it was recorded at one of these events, they'd be required to add voiceover to it.
I mean at best they allow the media to have 20 minute videos showing multiple matches so we can still hear the menu theme but it would still have to be commentated.
