You're a little earlyMondoMega is back online; ready for that sweet reveal of *insert character I want here*.
Yeah, you're right; I should've kept my internet down for 30 more hours.
I mean, what is it good for besides Smash Presentations, anyway?Yeah, you're right; I should've kept my internet down for 30 more hours.

I think she is just by looking at all the figurines she got and crossover appearances. That being said... your 2nd point is agreeable.
The biggest surprise here being she's one of the characters I was pushing ergo people have, for some reason, actually listened to me to once (they'll try to deny it mind, to keep up appearances, but I know).I'm seeing a lot of support for Arle lately: that's what I'd call a cool surprise. Female, repping a new genre in Smash and as a bonus you get the bonus of "who the fuck is this" and "lol this over Dante?".

Oh, no, my problems had nothing to do with the shitty internet service within our country (though that is a problem that continues to dangle over us).Heard from many people how troubled the internet can be there and the absurdity surrounding NBN or whatever. I swear half the people from accross the ditch I try to netplay are on some dodgy internet.

My router fried. After so many years of (poor) service, it was inevitable.
Nope, lol. Definitely splurged quite a bit more than I expected to today.
Judging by the reaction from others here, I would be reasonably happy and everyone else would look something like this.OK last question (because this conversation is interesting to me): if Master Hand were a DLC fighter of any kind (free, fighters pass 5 or post pass fighter), how would you feel? How do you think the reaction would go?
(And while these posts are mostly fueled by good old fashioned PBR, I'm surprised by how many of you responded so thanks for humoring me, I enjoyed getting some perspective on something I haven't seen discussed yet)
I think if we've made it this far we're in the clear.So... when will Nintendo UK slip up again? Or will the fighter leak a different way this time?
Only Sakurai dared to salvage Lucia from DMC2.lmao people are gonna be mad when its not Dante.
Watch this be the most out of the left field character pick ever.
I could see a few different reasons for it, none of which have to do with the character selection itself. Last year's Joker drop was so pitch perfect that I feel like trying to recreate that effect for a character who - regardless of identity - wouldn't have had the same effect, would likely be seen as a tone deaf attempt to market it. More importantly the reason Smash even got a character reveal at TGA in 2018 was on the back of imminent release hype and to sell passes, whereas by now they've pretty much sold most of 'em. A character 5 reveal would largely be preaching to the choir there. They're already contending with a lot of other publishers on stage for valuable reveal time so to try prioritizing a reveal for a character they've already "sold" is unnecessary.Zippo's comments really make it sound like it could be Travis. I can't think of any other characters that fit the description.
But if that was the case, why didn't they drop his Smash reveal onto the end of that awesome NMH3 trailer they dropped at the Game Awards? I get not wanting to overshadow it, but... it would have been perfect.
An alternative view on this is that Nintendo feels confident that the IPs they're going to be pushing this year will stand on their own or perform at the expected level without a strong marketing push super far in advance, and they thought it would be more appropriate to give that broader push to an IP they clearly have a lot of personal faith in but which hasn't historically been a huge blockbuster hit. I could see them doing this in an attempt to make No More Heroes a bigger deal than it's typically thought of as.It seems to spell a level of confidence in NMH3 thats surprising.
Sakurai asked people to guess the fighter because he lied when he said the fighters were already decided in 2018 - he's actually been procrastinating since Terry came out and he's crowdsourcing ideas for a character he can make in two days.Sakurai asked people if they could guess who the fighter is, because he knows that absolutely no one would even consider Yumetaro.
Nah dawg, he just knows that he's broken his own "only game characters" rule and is putting Goku in so no one is actually going to guess it in earnest before the reveal.Sakurai asked people to guess the fighter because he lied when he said the fighters were already decided in 2018 - he's actually been procrastinating since Terry came out and he's crowdsourcing ideas for a character he can make in two days.
MvC?Moving aside from dlc 5 speculation - has there been any other 2d fighters that are more iconic/commercially successful than Street fighter/SNK? I know that MK is one of them, but I was thinking about it and it doesn't seem like there are any other similar alternatives.
Closest I could think of was the Blazblue series but even those never seemed to hit the highs of the previous 2 series.
More ironic than Street Fighter? Nah bro.Moving aside from dlc 5 speculation - has there been any other 2d fighters that are more iconic/commercially successful than Street fighter/SNK?

I believe he's talking specifically 2D fighters - Tekken is quite 3D.

I was thinking more along the lines of original IPs rather than crossovers of existing properties, but yea.
Somehow I remembered Blazblue coming over GG, haha. But it doesn't seem like there's anything after SF other than SNK.More ironic than Street Fighter? Nah bro.
But Guilty Gear will be the next fighting game franchise in Smash; definitely the more likely Arc Sys rep than Blazblue.

I should have just clarified that I was looking at 3rd party IPs outside of crossover fighters like MvC/smash
Zippo is a poster confirmed by mods "to be in a position to know things", but only posted vague unconfirmed stuff until now afaik.I was banned for a week because some mod really misinterpreted something I said about the Prez, and I don't wanna scroll through 2000 posts so forgive me for any rudeness here but is there like a cliffnotes on who Zippo is and what they have actually said? Thanks in advance

So Master Hand for Smash?
Zippo is a poster confirmed by mods "to be in a position to know things", but only posted vague unconfirmed stuff until now afaik.
Regarding Smash, he posted at first that the next character was someone "kinda sorta first party" that he compared to Bayonetta (as in wouldn't be here/relevant without Nintendo, but not first party), before backtracking a bit by saying that it's not necessarily the next character and could be another one down the line (without precising how much down the line). Also said that the next character isn't KOS-MOS.
Don't think he said anything else since.
????
Someone out of Travis, Layton, or Jibanyan is my guess.
Who is Zippo and what did they say? D:
