Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with guidance dude.

I think calling the leaking of game information "guidance" is disingenuous. I don't think people leak things for anyone's sake but their own, deep down.

In any case, I think this insinuation has incredibly condescending overtones. The idea that people need to be "guided" lest they become disgusting monsters who harass people and spew vitriol is insulting and conveniently supplements the nature of what leaking actually accomplishes.

Just warning you that last time we had the reveal, Isabelle, the gacha goddess was smiling down on me, which is why luck was on my side.

This time, it's not drawing luck I'm having, but event luck, as my favourite gal in Starlight Stage just had a new event starting today. Could the stars be aligning one more time?

Damn one short of the final 10.
Good game!


I can't wait to watch the direct! I hope they show some cool new game modes (or old ones with some twists) for single/co-op plays.

About the characters, I'm happy with the current cast and my hopes are mostly impossible, but I would love to see Medusa, an Advance Wars' CO, a Rhythm Heaven fighter, and other minor IP representations like Drill Dozer, Ouendan or The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls. About the third Party guests... Rayman, Slime, Heihachi and Travis are fine by me.

Edit: I will be out of ERA until the direct, I see a lot of hints and rumors in the last hours and I don't want to be spoiled when we will know all in 24 hours...

No Isaac / Isaac AT would be so sad.

Right now I'm more hyped for game modes than anything else really. High hopes for Spirits and the return of Stage Builder.

I don't plan to elaborate on anything further, but I hope you all have a fun Direct.

40 mins is a lot of time, so hopefully there's some good stuff in there.

See ya on Thursday.
Thanks. Everyone in the know (apart from Verge) has been great at keeping things quiet. Wouldn't be great to have the surprises spoilt at the last hurdle.

Australians still have one more full day before the direct. At least tomorrow for America is the day you get the direct

I don't agree that all insiders are contradicting each other. Let's just disregard what Mystic said and focus on Emily/Vergeben/Imran.

Vergeben said that we're missing Incineroar, Ken and a SE character. Emily is confident about Incineroar. It's safe to assume Ken and Incineroar are in.

Then, the SE character. Imran expect no big 3rd party rep in the direct. Both of those put together points at Geno to fit the conditions.

Then there's the one more missing character from Emily. Nothing really pointed at who could it be so far.

The key word with Imran's post is "at the Direct".

Vergeben also said he didn't know if SE rep was DLC.

Those two claims can go hand in hand. It could still be a major one, it just might be DLC, and not at the Direct. Given how Emily has subtly implied against Geno, I think this is the likely scenario.

I mean, only Mystic directly contradicts them. Emily, Imran, Masozi, Tom Phillips and Verg's info can all line together pretty well. Knowing that, I'd guess that Mystic is wrong.

If we put their info together, the roster is likely:
-Ken
-Incineroar
-Maybe Shadow
-One banner character that isn't Ken, Shadow, Isaac, or Banjo. Personally, I think it's Geno since that lines up with Verg's info about a Square Enix character. Emily disagreeing with Mystic could contradict this, but she didn't specifically say what she disagreed with and Mystic has been flip-floppy on Geno.
-First party mystery character
-Possibly more surprises, but none that have been directly hinted at.

With Isaac being an AT, and one more character off the banner (could be Shadow) also being an AT. Banjo's not in, and one more character off the banner isn't in.
Sounds like a good summary. Nice work.

Go easy on Mystic, he's clearly going through a lot and it's great that he's listening to reason

Mystic is all over the place. I wouldn't put any stock in what he says tbh.

Dude says he wants to get out of the limelight and for things to calm down and yet he just can't help himself.

This isn't exclusive to Smash by the way. Mystic in general kind of acts like this so it doesn't really come off as anything unusual or shady.

Mystic is a super cool dude that you should follow if you like KH and Atlus news.

Also people are trying too hard to deconfirm Geno when insiders hints doesn't point at that.

I don't blame Mystic with anything, he was very upfront about everything and is willing to say what he heard was wrong. I just hope he is ok after all of this .

idea: What if the Grinch leak came from Dreamworks? Like they knew millennials weren't gonna see that movie and figured out the best possible way to get them discussing the Grinch. So they made a really elaborate fake leak.

I was enjoying the Grinch leak, but now I have to face the cold reality of no Isaac.

There aren't really any other realistic characters I care about getting in tbh, so it kinda kills the hype.

Era minus me: "Mach Rider is a nobody, they'll be the first to go."

Later: Everyone getting unconfirmed apart from Mach Rider.

*chuckles in an un-Sonic like way*

Mystic also said that Incineroar and Ken are in and we know that's true, so it's not everything and likely pointed mostly at Isaac.
