~British Soul~ Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I was gonna watch a stream around the same time, but I guess I'll watch this instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 So as some people thought, Luigi's new gear in the Simon/Richter reveal trailer was in fact a hint at Luigi's Mansion 3 that was revealed in the direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 She's been in the leaks for forever so I did see it coming, but she doesn't appear to be a full-on Echo Fighter which is surprising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Oh and Isabelle is listed as her own fighter on the official site: https://www.smashbros.com/en_GB/fighter/68.html Seriously, though, new main. I funking love Isabelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Yea, Isabelle was the perfect reveal for the direct. A popular character, but not one I'd say would make people sit up and go WOW like the last few were. Plus it is also the perfect way to announce the new Animal Crossing game. As for the character herself, she can plant mines. That is amazing. Looks like she riffs off Villager a fair bit, but is a clone to the same degree someone like Falco is.

Shradow Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I think it's entirely possible that we reach 80 fighters in the base game (if you count echoes separately we're currently at 74). I'm also thinking that it's more possible now that if we get Shadow, he'll be a semi-clone as opposed to an echo. Everyone thought Isabelle was just gonna be an echo but that turned out not to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone thought Isabelle was just gonna be an echo but that turned out not to be the case. I can totally buy 80 characters counting echoes. Probably 3/3 or 4/2 split in favor of new character. Curious how they'll announce them. Don't see them doing all of that in a final direct. My guess is we'll have another small reveal in a month, and then in mid November or something get the last few.

Shradow Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 According to new CoroCoro scans, there will actually be 108 stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 According to new CoroCoro scans, there will actually be 108 stages. That sounds right. If we knew all of them that would mean no new characters to get a stage to go with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 And since Vergeben's Smash leaks (which have all either been true or have yet to be confirmed or denied) include info that Minecraft will get representation of some kind, some people are thinking there'll be a Minecraft stage.

Can you refresh me/us on the leak? It seems to have weight so I'm curious what else is there. Minecraft stage would be cool. Though honestly working with Microsoft just makes me want Banjo.

Shradow Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 So what was confirmed from his leaks were that Ridley, Simon, and Isabelle would be new characters, all Smash 4 characters would return, and that Ice Climbers and Snake would return. As for what has yet to be confirmed or denied, he's said a Gen VII Pokemon that's not Decidueye, Lycanroc, or Mimikyu (who has already been deconfirmed) will be a newcomer, Ken will be an echo of Ryu, Square Enix will get another rep, and that Minecraft will have representation of some kind. EDIT: Oh, actually new word from Vergeben has come out today that the Gen VII Pokemon will be Incinerorar. There's been discussion about Incineroar for awhile as a potential rep, but I don't know if this is actually the first leak that's saying he's really coming or if there've been other leakers who've also said he'd be in and Vergeben is just giving further "confirmation."

Shradow Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 My favorite thing to come out of the Isabelle reveal is the Isabelle + Snake fanart. https://twitter.com/theycallhimcake/status/1040667559262126086 https://twitter.com/theycallhimcake/status/1041097944324288512 https://twitter.com/garkon_icky/status/1040386573861363717 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Might be because I had my heart set on Decidueye, but I can't help but be a little disappointed with Incinerorar getting the nod. As I've said before, he is an awesome choice for the game, but would have much preferred Blaziken or Infernape getting the "Fire Starter" slot. The start balance might also be contributing too since while it is less of an issue thanks to PT's return, I wanted a fully evolved Grass starter.

Shradow Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 If it's true I'm excited for a wrestler character, that'll make for a really unique moveset. Plus his expressions and attitude should be fantastic since he's literally the Heel Pokemon and this game has been making characters more expressive.

Flame Dragon Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Nice to get to see the alt outfits in better quality. Shame they aren't on the main page since this is the kind of thing that would make for decent updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 So it's been pointed out that the Japanese fighter playlist updated a couple days ago: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA1lIms2gwaCzNYbHXr0cgG9dgL2nUAQF This has happened a couple times in the past before reveals, such as about a week or so before Isabelle's initial reveal date (before the delay). So maybe expect some new announcements soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
