I don't think it'll be to the level of SSE, but I'd expect at least, like, a cutscene for the inevitable final boss battle and a handful more. Plus it looks like we'll get in-game-rendered cutscenes before certain fights, like Galleom.
I'm thinking what characters could represent some spirits, like Amateratsu and Issun=Wolf and Inkling boy? I hope Ammy is a spirit
I gotta say this Direct was a little disappointing for me:
1) Boring character reveals (Piranha plant was charming though) << Slightly anticlimactic
2) They implemented a gacha-esque system in the form of spirits: this is how they can turn the franchise into a GaaS << Nintendo moving in the wrong direction, yet again
3) Adventure Mode cutscene + world map are fantastic, but the actual stages seem to be standard battles which doesn't really constitute proper single player content like in Splatoon << Expected
Still excited for the actual game though.

Incineroar and Plant are some of the best newcomers, and they were revealed back to back. The reason the Direct was disappointing was basically the lack of trophies and all the padding.
I didn't even catch that at first, this really is Infinity War haha
The fan in me enjoyed this last presentation, but it's hard to deny how close to pointless it was at times. Interface details could have been disclosed on a later date through a simple text article, while the whole Spirits section felt longer than necessary. As a whole, most of it seemed just a preamble for new product placement (Amiibo) and the final piece of marketing, in the form of paid/free DLC coming in the next months.
These videos were always an advertising tool, so in that regard, this one was also very effective. Besides, the game looks amazing. A few extra characters or additions wouldn't change much, when there's already so many things to discover. Though, being honest, it hurt to see some personal favorites relegated to minor roles (ARMS, especially). Conversations about DLC are going to keep threads very lively, from now on.

Oh you mean when you don't get him for free? I think he'll be a single purchase as well.
Also, should we make a separate thread about the hands on footage of Yoshi Crafted World? The game looks really good. They showed new levels and it looks really polished. Wouldn't be surprised if this was coming sooner than we think, maybe March-May release?
This is actually really touching </3
I'll not be surprised if this goes the mobile gaming route and enable daily rewards for login and for trying new Spirits combination everyday.
My only hate for Incineroar is really the character itself and not the movesets used for him. I would really rather have seen Star Man from Pro Wrestling instead. But instread it's...Incineroar.
I'm more sold on the Piranha Plant sicne he's kind of stealth Petey Piranha rep.
Isn't it just survival mode with all the characters unlocked at that point though?
Haven't gone back to rewatch yet.
looking at the Black Knight footage, he seems to be based on... Chrom?
is that really correct?

Besides the lame spirit mode and the semi lame (cause it's half spirit mode) adventure mode, are any other fun game modes from the last games still in this? Like the more arcady ones where you fight through several stages, choose the path for the next fight and stuff?
We had a few very cool modes in the past, would miss them all. :/
But on the other hand, why would they still exist, without trophies I wouldn't even know for what I would play them and earn gold. :(

...they could've just included Petey Piranha. He's been variable sizes...
Mipha would have been a fish and zora are generic enemies in we z Zelda
It's a great pick, stop being salty. I agree that ending with it wasn't the best choice though.
Except they're not turning the game into a GaaS outside of the DLC they announced. The Spirits Gacha thing is centralized into the game itself like Xenoblade 2. Ultimate and Xenoblade 2 aren't even the first games to randomize similar concepts. Smash 4 did the same thing with trophies and equipment.
They started off on the wrong foot with Spirits but they're not gonna put microtransactions for it either.
The biggest sin was Spring Man as a assist. Nintendo's hot new IP for Switch is relegated to assist.
They said it's the last direct regarding Smash so I don't think so..no. :/
anyone else hyped for ken? I like him a lot better than ryu tbh
also piranha plant is fucking cool
also piranha plant is fucking cool
My experience with the direct
Same here tbh. Incineroar looks decently fun but Piranha Plant gave me a big dumb smile. Shit was hype.
Although I'm pretty bummed out by the Direct, I have to say that I am loving Incineroar more than I thought I would have :)
Kirby was smart. He ran away to live to fight another day.
Yeah they confirmed Classic mode in the last Direct I believe. Or it may have been E3. Either way that's what you're talking about and yes it's in.
Fucking love this post. Everyone took the fucking L but Kirby. Falcon making that sound when he got yeeted was funny as hell
Man, I feel like Jeff Gerstmann at the end of this years Nintendo E3 Direct. Well, I was going to turn into him anyway. Glad for those who are happy though
I might just have to do it, I have to see it lol
Damn... the levels to this shit
somewhere out there some 14 year old fanfic writer got his ultimate wish in life.
Did they announce locations were you can play the final build with every character available replacing the e3 demo
Any in new jersey?

So Ken seems to have a different forward smash from Ryu as well. Definitely the most different of the echoes.
Yeah I just checked.
Honestly, it's a watered down version. It's just multi-man melee.
Yeah Piranha Plant is cool as hell.
