So I'm on the 5 more stages. Since the Yoshi and DKCR stages were cut, I'm going to say Sakurai decided to update them with a new Yoshi's Crafted World stage and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze stage.

-Alolan stage on the volcano trial
-Poke Floats 2 (I did mention this a long time ago)
-DKCTF stage
-Yoshi's Crafted World
-Some new stage for a new character

Still banking on something bonkers like an Everybody Votes Channel stage with a gimmick where a vote is won by characters spending longer on one side of the screen than the other

I would lol if the Direct comes, shows off 2 or 3 characters and then ends without deconfirming the Grinch leak outright and it'll go on all the way till release.

Man it would be a huge L if the last character reveals are Ken and fucking Incineroar. Why not save K. Rool for the final reveal ?

I'm more excited to see the potential stages in some ways. Hoping for something graphically interesting like the Hanafuda card art or SuperFX graphics.

If the layout is the same as we saw at E3, there is room for six slots, though the last spot could be reserved for a second page arrow button like we saw in Smash 4.

I would love any crazy stages. I'm just as excited for seeing new stages as anything else. Those Wario stages are great.

I agree on 1,3,4 and 5, but I don't think we'll get a new Pokefloats. And for 5, I hope it's Mira.

Now I'm all pissed that we still have to wait another whole day for this.

I'm still very nervous that Spirits mode will be massively disappointing. Like Smash Tour rather than Adventure mode.

I think Sakurai actually confirmed that this would be the final Smash Direct. Or the final Smash info before release, something like that.
Characters don't need Directs to be unveiled. Like I said there's no guaranteed. I think a lot of people are gonna get let down if they think Sakurai isn't going to have any secrets going into the release.

If I try to not be TOO MUCH influenced by insiders, here's my roster prediction.

-Incineroar (69)
-Ken (echo)
-Skull Kid (70)
-Geno (71)

Could see Shadow as echo... But I could totaly see him being dlc and getting the semi clone treatment. I feel like he deserves it, he's popular af. And I want his down special to be a counter roundhouse kick :


If Geno ain't in base game, then he'll be announced asap as being the first DLC newcommer.

hitting things with a whip until they die is not investigation

Sakura would have been even better, but she wouldn't really work as an echo.
I guess? I think Akuma is just visually more dstinctive.

Akuma has even less stuff in common with Ryu then Ken does, Ken is just easier to do then Akuma
They all shoot Hadoukens and do uppercuts. All you need to do is add flames to Ken's and stuff. Ryu and Ken are borderline carbon copies, at least in SF2.

Isn't he called violent Ken? God that was so dumb.

He's not as boring as people says, he has his own moves and still play slighty different than Ryu (Ryu is like the hard hitting shoto with better hadokens while Ken is a little bit with his kick and is faster)
besides he is much more likeable as a character than Ryu.
He's basically been an Echo Fighter of Ryu since SF2. Akuma at least looks different visually and is some fodder for edgelord fans.

I think Sakurai actually confirmed that this would be the final Smash Direct. Or the final Smash info before release, something like that.
Sakurai tweeted two words.

First, "やりますよ", or "yarimasuyo". Yarimasu means "I'll do it", yo adds some emphasis on it, so basically "I'll do it!".

Lastly, "最後です!", or "saigo desu". It basically translates to "It's the last one", with saigo being translated as last one. This can mean last before release, or last ever, but it's the last something.



Just to make it clear what he actually said.

Honestly, if they put Ken in, I really hope they make him more similar to a Falco type clone instead of an echo fighter. Ryu in smash has moves ken has never used in any game before. Sakurai usually has that level of care when adapting characters for the game.

Some boss predictions
med_1500242683_image.jpg


Nightmare, fought on a modified Fountain of Dreams. His AT is missing and Sakurai seems to like him. I think there will be a Kirby boss. Nightmare makes sense, as he's highlt mobile and can have varied attacks without just stealing 100% his moveset from Kirby

Spr_7u_800U.png

Ultra Necrozma, fought in Ultra Megapolis (just a flat rooftop in a city, not an actual stage to play on). I feel if there's a Pokemon boss, it's a toss up between Ultra Necrozma and Mega Rayquaza, and I think Necrozma wins out.

latest


Death Egg Robot, Eggman is an obvious choice for a boss, and Death Egg Robot is iconic, along with having an HD model that fits Smash's style that they can re-purpose.

I think open on sora or any 3rd party character, sakurai talks about them and related things echo stage whatever, they then announce rest of unique characters, they wont end it on them noboing k rool st end this type I think they do something else
I'm just use inceneroar and elma play their trailers
Sakurai barely talks about them, save them for tree house
Introduce echoes real quick
Talk about remain stages
Then go into spirtis online, items, assist trophies, etc

It ends on the mural, a new melee style intro video with every character, and a test smash anouncment

It would be nice if Smash Ultimate had a network in place to share custom Stages and Fighters easily. The main thing holding me back from Soul Calibur VI is knowing it's a bit of a chore to get hold of other people's custom fighters.

Plus I'd like to have access to several Grinch Mii fighters on launch day.

Oh I can see the counter being a kick for example rather than a punch and so on, let's see how it plays out.

Pokefloats probably missed out because it was literally just floating Pokemon Stadium 2 models, and upgrading those to be 3DS models would have probably been a bit hard, especially for Pokemon that got drastic proportion changes, like Squirtle.
