6-8 sounds about right, though I'd bet more on 4-5 with only 2 more full Newcomers and the rest being Echoes.
man i remember that i struggled to beat all-star with some characters in BRAWL
this thing is going to have more than twice the number of fights in all-star compared to brawl
Yeah I had a feeling since I wasn't notified either when BGBW edited the post.
All Star better be randomized. The thought of fighting in the same order for the 3rd time but with over 70 characters would be a drag.

Yeah, same here. Wolf, Snake and Ice Climbers were hugest holes in the roster that Smash 4 were lacking. It made me so ecstatic to see them coming back once again so I can finally pack my Wii and Brawl in for good so I can move on with those characters in a new version. I'm very eager to see more brand new stages and single player contents right now. I hope that online modes would be much better, and I hope that they would bring Stage Builder back as well.
Sakurai or Nintendo, if you read this message, please allows me to team up with my friend over the internet and able to face against randoms online for 2 vs 2 online battles. Forcing local partner only for online 2 vs 2 battles is just silly.
Well now I know. The fact people responded to it made me assume it did work. Like I said before, I wasn't going to push it since it was handled badly.
Multi-Man is more repetitive I feel. Not to the level of making me mad though. At least had no lyrics.
you wanted to maaasteeer the gaaame
but this time things will not be the same
you wanted to fiiiiniiish it whooooole
but you are not prepared to face it all
there's an obstacle in your waaaaay
you have expected anywaaaay
but maybe not the both of them as one
tooodaaaaaaaay

maybe there's actually only 35 characters in the game and everything else is DLC, including spirits mode
The man that denounced carving up content for the base game and is also heading a game with 70+ characters and over 100 stages is going to have some characters locked out as DLC so close to launch?
I hate that people latched onto that because it was obviously something specific to the K Rool reveal trailer. Smash fans gonna Smash fan though
That came from loz more than it did that trailer. It just kind of ended up verifying that claim but then loz was losing credibility quick and Isabelle demolished it
having a roullette of number show up between rounds that gives a visual to the randomness selection process would be pretty neat.
They just invited the guys who came up with the blog theory and had them explain their theory and defend it from counter arguments.
It's honestly a really good video. It's worth listening to.
i understand jack shit from the blog theory it's been three years since i did maths for the last time
pretty sure it's just a (31 minute...) deep dive on the theory that's been around for a while about 3 fighters per week thing
Basically the blog showcases 3 characters per week, at some point before the game's release they will be out of characters, the blog theory states that if the 3 characters per week continues the amount of characters left is 6-8
Except Isabelle was clearly imagining overthrowing the mayor in a coup.
OP
OP
That pattern already got broken twice or three time since we got two characters per week few times so it's plausible we could get couple of weeks with just two character updates so that would leave us with 2-5 more character updates.
Yeah but when they did that they got back on track by showcasing 4 fighters for the next few weeks. That's why they put it up on a 2.9 average.
it'd be funny if the week where it really blows up would be another week with 2 characters.
speaking of i wonder if the blog will ever remember it did not post about Brinstar
Mewtwo was announced before Smash 4's release ... don't forget.
Also fighting games are easy to announce future content because just making the basic mode lf the character is like 10% of actually making the character for the game, so they can announce the characters as images like mewtwo but actually work on their specials, normals, balancing and other animations later.
Blog theory has been going around for a while now, but it was so flawed it wasn't even worth discussing. The fact the average isn't a whole number means the number of fighters a week isn't consistent. Clearly there's no pattern so stop trying to force one.
And now that Sakurai has even said the updates will slow down the theory is completely dead in the water.

Wait, arent all newcomer trailers released the moment they are revealed? Wouldnt this not affect blog schedule?
OP

Did they? I remember they DID for two weeks during June or early July but haven't done that ever since.
None of that is even close to conclusive and they did establish the aberrations including like they pointed out some weeks having 4 fighters.
Smash Wii U's release*. Smash 4 was already released for a good month before.
that doesn't seem very solid to me
I got it wrong as it turns out the first sign of the 3 character pattern not shaking out was when they did 2 weeks of 4 characters. We had two 2 fighter weeks but one of them happened on the delayed Direct week.
It's not, I personally don't buy it, although I could maybe see us getting 6 more characters(3 unique+3 echoes).
Alax was the first time the theory was brought to light in a bigger light.
Gamexplain is having the guys who made it explain themselves.
Honestly it's really interesting what the patterns they found in documenting the blog posts.
They mentioned that the first big scare they had for the theory was this Sunday when there was the Moon post instead of a Fighter post but as it turned out it was probably to tie with a Japanese festival for the moon or something like that and the post was posted late to better fit the theme for that day.

With Sakurai's recent comments on folks being "sorely mistaken" if they think there will be a steady stream of character reveals, I'm expecting 1-2 newcomers and 3-4 echoes (including Ken and Shadow).
We'll see, though!

I noticed that the blogs are so bad with the updates. It's so weird.
Hmm, I really hope that we are getting a smash direct during early-mid October so they could just announce some contents then have a huge one during November (like 50 facts about Smash Ultimate, etc)
As hype as that would be for us, would Rex & Pyra make much of a splash at The Game Awards? I guess you could argue Spring Man since ARMS was nominated for Best Fighting Game last year, but the same question persists. I feel like the mystery Square Enix rep (if they aren't in the base roster) would do a better job of getting people hype at The Game Awards as a DLC reveal, but that's just me trying to think through the average viewer's perspective.
Yea, sora or dante would make the most sense as a dlc reveal there.
