Speaking of For Glory

Does anyone think there's going to be a ruleset change to any of the core online modes? Are we still getting the For Fun/For Glory split?
I think we're still going to have the For Fun/For Glory split (didn't they use those terms for the different demo stations at E3?), but For Glory will use Battlefield stages in addition to the Omega stages.

Speaking of which, I can't wait to play on Battlefield Final Destination.

It's likely they will stick to two playlists. They would probably prefer just one, to reduce playerbase problems (it's Smash, so not drought, but lag reduction), however you have the item hating crowd and... well.

I'm gonna say what I figured you meant since some people might not get it unless it's spelled out.

You're talking about people using theories and the like to police everyone else, right?
Ah yeah, policing, what a great way to sum up those vile ways of wording a disagreement on opinions. If you don't mind me changing the topic, can anyone explain Goku's moveset options to me?

72 is a number I think will work. It's divisible by a lot of things so it'll work well with the UI
There's a lot to account for there though: The roster can be displayed with and without Echo Fighters, Pokemon Trainer and Mii Fighters have multiple characters in the same slot and the Random button is also there.

What assists and items would you lot wanna see from Odyssey and BotW?

Odyssey
Assist:
Goomba Tower
Item: One of them rocks you have to nut around before a moon comes out, though it would act as a point similar to those pac-man flags.

BotW
Assist:
Mini Guardian (sometimes with laser, sometimes with a sword etc.
Item: Lightning/Ice/Fire Rods

You raise a good point

With echoes as separate, and the miis + random, how many characters do we have now?

Super Mario Odyssey assist: Glydon. He could fly around the stage. I just want to see him happy he's a good friend.

Item: the flower rocket. When used it launches you forward very quickly, leaving you able to do a lot of damage. However, if you don't control the momentum well, you'll die.

Botw

Assist: YEAH Guardian or Lionel are the two

Item: some form of Stasis rune would be cool.

Odyssey
Assist:
Jaxi - Runs around the stage and rams into opponents, can be "ridden on" like Gogoat.
Item: Bowser's Top Hat - Packs an extra punch every time you attack while wearing it.

BotW
Assist:
The Guardians - The Divine Beasts gather in the background and focus a blast at the centre of the stage.
Item: Korok Leaf - Blows the opponent away a short distance and does a small amount of damage.

4 more then for a neat 75
I could honestly see that. In that case, I could see something like this coming true (maybe removing two of the Pokemon if you want it to be realistic).
  • 69-71 - Professor Kukui (Decidueye, Incineroar, Primarina)
  • 72 - Geno
  • 38ε - Shadow
  • 60ε - Ken
And I wouldn't even be mad with that.

There's no Direct. There has been no reason to speculate a Direct. Nothing has suggested an incoming Direct.

The game will receive one final Direct at the end of next month, more than likely.

Ah yeah the Leaf would be wicked! A weaker, less ridiculous replacement for the Gust Bellows

I imagine the final direct has to be before the Smash Bundle comes out (That weird one with the download code that doesn't activate until the game launches that's clearly been made for Black Friday sales). So November 16th would be the latest I would expect to see the big final news drop for the game.

Based on that logic, the earliest a Direct could happen would be a few days before November 2nd; that's when the bundle drops in the US.

Hold on. There's no reason nor suggestions for a Direct, and there'll be one? Are you illustrating "falsity implies everything" axiom?

Dracula would be disappointed.

I hope For Fun properly doesn't count any of your matches. They said it doesn't count your losses, but when it counts wins and rounds played, you are just one maths problem away from working out loses.

Okay, with musikrool broken, we don't have much of a framework for guessing the tracks, but we could still try to narrow things down. Anyone expecting another repeat? I feel negative.

(cue music being nothing but FE from now on)

Given FE was one of three series specifically called out as getting more music in Sakurai's Famitsu column, I'd expect both Castlevania and Megaman, the other two series, to get another remix on the site. Mario and Zelda seem like safe bets too, obviously (we already know Zelda has three more remixes on the way from the direct.)

I'm in full pessimist mode now and assuming the series without a remix already won't be getting any so rip Star Fox, Kid Icarus, Sonic etc. Please prove me wrong, Sakurai!

I'm expecting at least one or two series repeats before the final music post. I know I came up with that 'Color Theory' about repeats for Mario, DK, Zelda and Pokemon; but i'm not actually expecting them all to happen.

You know what would be actually pretty hype? If Tabuu was made into a fighter. Rewatching subspace emissary got me thinking that his moveset would be pretty sweet and varied.
