    I believe Raccoon has posted a few variations throughout the thread; you can feel free to grab one of those. The Zelda 2 text is just there since that's what really started the thread in the first place.

    Is there any variations of this? I got the "no zelda 2" right so it feels wrong to wear it saying zelda 2 xD

    I am proud to be unveiling the full suite this morning (Jimmy Joe you might want to quote and threadmark, if you want).

    Now I just want the January Direct cancelled so we can truly stew in our Nintendo-less misery for a while

    Kinda surprising Nintendo chose to show none of their own stuff considering their history with the show.

    Like, not even Smash DLC is really surprising to me.

    My guess is they decided on a January Direct and didn't want overlap. Plus easier to market their stuff in an exclusive presentation.

    As outlined in the threadmarked post and in the OP, the avatar condition only lasts until the next Nintendo Direct.

    Know you this: whosoever posts a prediction will be assumed to be a participant in the bet, and will be held accountable unless they identify themselves as a Big Coward who is afraid to bet their avatar.

    Look, obviously I can't actually hold you accountable or anything, I'm not a mod or what have you, but I went to considerable length to make this as transparent as possible as early as possible. If you want to coward out, coward out, but at least take the responsibility for it!

    Team Doom Guy for Smash.

    I've been calling him since Smash was announced and I'm not changing my call now.

    Through out the year, people have wised up, they have realized the void in their hearts and I am betting Sakurai has too.

    Only problem is that I'm taking the loss of another bet, if I lose I will not change my avatar right away, I will change it after my previous bet wears off and hold it for the same length between the loss and the next direct.

    But don't worry, my gut is with me and that means 100% chance of victory.

    So I'm done with the old avatar bet, time for this one.

    Gonna hold it for 27 days and go back to my old ava on 18 Feb.
