Reading through PushDustin's translation, it makes more sense why the presentation is so long. It looks like it will be a love letter to fighting games, not just Terry.

So regarding fighter #5, I wonder if Sakurai will bother to announce another smash bros broadcast later this year to cover the final character and announce FP2, or whether we'll just be waiting for a possible VGA announcement.

They know everybody will be watching the TGAs with the expectation of a new fighter, after Joker.

Frogger is literally more iconic than 2/3 of the entire cast already in the game, so wouldn't be the craziest character in the world, if true.

Guess we'll find out in 25 hours. I can already imagine the anger at announcing another presentation at the end of this one.

But seriously, without a new fighter or major new mode to talk about, they need to end this presentation with... something.

Frogger was the last published SNES game in the States.

What a wet fart to end that system's life on.

they did not succeed

When PushDustIn posted the tweet about it's for fighting fans so I wonder if we are going to see 2D Fighting Mode for Smash Bros! :P

The direct is for fighting game fans, because if you like any non-fighting game character they'll be revealed as a mii costume in the 30 minute premium costume montage

...what do you mean by 2d fighting mode?

Stamina already exists and smash gameplay is basically 2d =P
Maybe he means sprites lol

Naw, I meant they could have a special mode with very few stages (like Ryu's Stage, Terry's stage, few Nintendo stage. Basically it would be 1 vs 1 and forced stamina with fixed stages to have flat stage with no walk off or fall off. I know it's unlikely but it would be cool if it happens.

Maybe they'll updating the base game with more modern content

"Since Smash Bros Ultimate will be around for awhile longer, we thought we'd do an update to keep the game current beyond just characters"

New Assist Trophies

- King Boo
- Someone from Three Houses
- Aigis
- Klungo

New Pokeballs
- Galarian Weezing
- Sobble
- Meltan/Melmetal
- Zacian
- Zamazenta

Music from various games released in late 2018 through 2020.

The return of the Fan, Red Shell and Cloaking Device

There's an extra 5-10 minutes of content

I think if Banjo-Kazooie got an assist trophy, it'd be Mumbo Jumbo considering they already have the asset from the Spiral Mountain stage. Kinda like how they chose Klaptrap as the first DK AT because they already had the model from the remade Jungle Japes/Kongo Falls stages.

If we got third party assist trophy dlc for Persona, Dragon Quest, Banjo-Kazooie, Fatal Fury and whoever else we get, I'd be over the moon.

But I'll take whatever extra content we can get.

What's the consensus on leaks currently? Looks like the Terry stream has taken over the conversation.

Opinions on the Mallow leak? Real, fake?

It hasn't been debunked, that's for sure.
Either it's real or it's the best mod we've seen to date. The Mallow hat has jiggle physics ffs.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Mostly based on how good and how random (at least to me) the Cacodemon hat is. Like I would never even expect that, and it looks perfect like it belongs with any other hat.
We'll see if someone comes close to recreating what we saw

I think the same thing as before. The costumes are real, but they don't indicate that geno or doom guy made the cut. If anything just makes me believe we only getting costumes instead of them.

We've hit a point where Geno fans are convinced the Mallow hat jiggles.

We're talking about allegedly seeing subtle 1px movements in something that looks like this:

Basically, they're insane.
