Are they getting paid for the "Sweetest Moment" plug?
If so, they really should explain who Sweet Justice is! The advertising effect is totally lost on lots of new viewers if they don't.

if huber loses all his other bets, and if Bowser doesn't make a bowser joke, is there even a slight chance someone pulls ahead?

Bosman can pull ahead if:

- Mega Man X reveals himself
- Captain America wears multiple outfits
- Doom Eternal spends more time in the second half of Bethesda's conference
- Doug Bowser makes a Bowser joke
- A game character throws something that hits the screen OR Todd Howard apologizes

Everyone else is eliminated.

How are final bets calculated, btw?

If it happens does that person just get a flat pot?

Bosman can theoretically beat him still.

It would require Megaman X to show up in one of the conferences. And it would require Bethesda to put Doom in the back-half of their conference. Both of those are extreme longshots. I don't think Megaman X has ever been in any E3 Press Conference. The only possibility is that he might be an Echo Character in Smash Brothers, but Nintendo might not even talk about Smash in their Direct.

Similarly, I don't think any company has ever devoted the back half of their press conference to a known game that they've already released extensive trailers and marketing materials for. Usually that is for surprise reveals and debuts.

They already confirmed we'd see a dlc character at the smash tournament yesterday

Unless I'm mistaken, bets only refer to press conferences unless otherwise specified. If Nintendo reveals new characters at a tournament I don't believe that would count.
they didn't, they teased that they'd talk about it more during the Direct, which would count

Ahhhh, the way you phrased it I thought you meant that yesterday they said "There will be a new Smash character at the tournament," and that the tournament was still forthcoming.

That said, I'm not really sure if MegaMan X is noteworthy enough to make it into a Direct.

Bosman will probably be sunk by Bethesda tonight anyway.

Good luck with all THAT.

What will happen instead;

- Mega Man makes a Mega Man X joke
- Captain America appears in the second half of the Bethesda conference
- Doom Eternal features in game apology for Fallout 76
- Todd Howard wears multiple outfits
- Doug Bowser throws something at the camera

I cannot believe that Huber got no Nintendo at Microsoft. What witchcraft does this man employ to get what he wants at E3s?

This has probably been mentioned before but I dislike that they are paying to much attention/importance to the bets they made instead of the actual content being displayed at E3.

Finished the Xbox conference with them right now, they have barely mentioned any bet at all in the whole conference. What did you watch?? I'm confused.

Is there a Huber celebration video clip from the end of the Microsoft Press Conference? I was watching the GiantBomb feed.

The format of MS briefing was much better this year. I'm glad they 'only' used the "World Premiere" VO when it actually was. Last year was much more annoying when they used "Exclusive" before trailers as well. A nice simple text with "Xbox Game Studios" is great. The next-gen stuff didn't tell us anything except release window, which makes me believe that they felt forced to talk about it. Would have been nice if they saved it to E3 2020, but oh well...

It's actually kinda funny how blatantly they ripped off Sony's opening splash screen. "Sony Interactive Entertainment Xbox Game Studios Presents".
