How many days of new posts happened after the last Smash Direct? If the direct is Nov. 1, does that mean we could potentially get new posts for upwards of a week? (due to the Luigi thingy, which might have just not be a thingy after all)

Sorry about the asshats, dude. You guys are getting it hard this week and stuff like this actively build an "Us vs Them" atmosphere that doesn't need to exist and certainly doesn't make your lifes any easier.

Hope it all clears out soon.

It'll clear. My "rant" wasn't to target anyone in the community that speculated, took a side and had fun. It was specifically for those being rude, harassing and being unpleasant or demanding they be given information.

Oooh, so I assume data mining would be possible?
That's likely. So it would be reasonable to expect a Direct to reveal the final character roster ahead of such a possibility.

Actually I just noticed Rainbow Cruise is a maybe

of all possible stages....that one? THAT'S a maybe?
At last, someone else brings this up and joins me in the confusion.

It's a manageable scroller sure but considering how inch high ledges on the ground or walls can scupper stages for competitive play I have no idea how this is getting through the cull.

Sony finally announced the full line-up of their PS1 Classic.

It's getting to be that time when, if Nintendo really plans on revealing the full line-up for Smash Ultimate, they need to do it now.

Having a nice solid month presumably knowing everything will give people enough time to process, I think

Honestly if Spirits looks amazing I think a lot of people, besides the ones who already went off the deep end, will be satisfied. The fact it's been so secretive makes me think it's gonna be a big deal, at least.

You know what I do when I'm upset by toxic people in the community, Nate?

I help people lift logs.

It's so soothing!

I'm kinda surprised so many people are sleeping on Spawnwave's channel, especially where he posts news daily about stuff including Switch gameplay varying from Indie to AAA 3rd party to 1st party.

He's a youtuber who does news and tech teardowns of stuff. His podcast, Spawncast, has grown a lot over the past year or so and has our own NateDrake on it almost regularly nowadays.

He does keep in touch with some insiders so usually when he tweets like that we're in for a good time.

I think someone found a guy who said that they have a really strong encryption on pre loaded games so it wouldn't be easy to access the data. Then again the Switch is hacked to hell right now and we don't know if there are programs to do something like that and it's being saved for Smash

Nah, just Kencineroar (assuming we're talking about a solo reveal and not a full Direct) just confirms my long-standing theory that the box only displays characters revealed up to a certain point.

I've wondered for a bit; maybe the last few characters are displayed on the back of the box in a row?

So Guys, please clear me up, who is This Guys from the Tweet and why should be hyped?
Youtuber boi who is also being considered an insider. As such, he does not believe in the leak being real. What people are inferring from this tweet is that a Nintendo Direct announcement related to Smash is just around the corner, hence the excitement.

I imagione that Rainbow Cruise is a maybe cause we have no idea how it will play without hazards. I imagine this is just in case it takes place on the white platform instead of the ship (despite the fact there's like a 99.99% chance that it will take place on the ship.).

When I think about all the jabronis who gave Nate shit, I remember he will always be the better man who gifted us with pre-release Tropical Freeze tunes.

Hmm, that could work, yet wouldn't the back end of the ship having a solid wall/cabin doo dad on deck be some kind of issue?

Out of curiosity, what's the issue with walls competitively? Is there some strat I'm unaware of besides Wall Jumps

A Youtube / Insider... suree okey, did he predicted something that end up be true or something?

Who is better ? Lucina or Marth?

Lucina is my main because i love the character.
Marth. The moveset in it's core rewards spacing and Marth rewards spacing really well. But there are some match ups where spacing can't be done that easily so Lucina and her kills at 80% Smash attack can be preferable but if you can space well you might as well should play Marth

I'll just post this again.
This is from SciresM, one of the big dataminers/hackers in the community. You may/may not know him specifically for Pokemon's 3DS datamining, but he's been working on Switch stuff as well. This explainer is for Let's Go, but it's applicable to any game.

The tl;dr here is thsi
>What does all this mean?
-The games will probably be uploaded to the CDN in the next day or so, as they are slated to be prepurchasable on October 22nd.
-The games will be protected by a 128-bit value, which nobody can brute-force before the universe dies.

If the game's preload is broken there are significantly more important things going on than just leaking the game.
