On one hand, Luiginary Ball would be a cool Final Smash attack. On the other, I love Negative Zone too much - it was easily one of the most distinctive Final Smash attacks.

That does have me think that an out-of-left-field entrant would be Mario & Luigi, playable as a duo a la Ice Climbers. Their basic attacks could be variants of the different Bros. Attacks from the games, and Luiginary Ball could be their Final Smash.

Let's remember there was a ton of leaks and trouble related to X/Y. Perhaps Sakurai decided to not reveal anything today and might be waiting a bit longer. Or perhaps he wanted to show off something else. Like WFT's ass.

Take a look at this image. It could be hinting at Jigglypuff. Since I don't think anyone else could cause sleeping outside of a Final Smash at best...

The daily is... kind of a weird pic of the day. Clearly there must be some sort of reason for it. I wonder what the quote wa-

...Yeah. Okay.* It looks like really awkward position to be in when knocked down/out, but I suppose Miss Fit taking on a stretch pose even when unconscious makes sense for the character.

The reveal was... Wii Fit Trainer's ass!
Obligatory.

On a side note, wasn't Sonic (or Toon Link) revealed the same day as a generic daily was posted? I remember there being a different pic on the site before we suddenly got the reveal later that day (as usual, I could be misremembering horribly and be wrong).

In any case, I'm not expecting a reveal until next week, if we get any at all.

[up]I know you said "outside of a Final Smash", but with Peach here, she could still cause sleep if they didn't change her FS (which I'm suddenly okay with). And who knows, there may be a sleep-inducing item in this game.

Granted, this kind of vague hinting seems right up Sakurai's alley...

[up][up][up]I'm not sure how I feel if Mario & Luigi were added as other characters, but it certainly sounds interesting.

It's gotta be her knocked-down pose. It looks like sleeping because it's yet another wii fit pose reference.

Well, Sakurai literally does say sleeping. Hence possibly being a hint.

And we have had a reveal on the same day as a regular picture. So who knows? Although I really do think the hype with X/Y combined with the Cease & Desist orders made him think today is a bad time for a Pokemon Reveal.

Wait 'til tomorrow, I guess- That's the official street date, even if a lot of places decided to just go ahead a day early.

In about 40 minutes, it'll be Midnight in Japan, which is when X/Y can be bought. So it literally is still possible to get it later today, to directly coincide with the release date. But we'll see.

they might be throwing a curveball here with the whole sleeping thing; could be to throw us off for the reveal of "I like shorts, they're comfy and easy to wear" guy

Huh. Well, there could be a later reveal, though it's less likely now. The only reason Sonic was put up mid-day I think is because he was revealed in a Direct later in the day, and I don't think there's a Direct today.

Edit: The caption seems to be hinting at Jigglypuff in my opinion.

Yes. It's a sleeping pose.

From Wii Fit.

All her movements seem to come from that game, so what better pose for her knocked-down state?

It definitely isn't sleeping proper, anyway. Characters usually stayed in an upright pose.

I miss the old Smash Dojo site. Sure, they gave away a lot of (too much) information, but, they gave away a lot of information, and made it entertaining and hard to resist. I mean, "Wii Fit Trainer is flexible, even while she's sleeping," that's an eye-raising update.

But remember what it was like when Wario first appeared and we learned that his gas could be charged-up, or about how how dangerous his bike was? When we first learned that we could play as Zero Suit Samus? How about when the first scan/snapshots of the Subspace Emissary came out? The commentary that came with each character?

I miss that.

I've noticed that any mid-day character reveals post-newcomer were revealed in Directs. Luigi and Sonic got fake-out pictures, while Pikmin & Olimar, Peach, and Toon Link all got revealed at the very beginning of the day.

Indeed.

So if there's no direct today, I guess it's safe to assume there's no reveal.

How odd, you'd think we'd get SOMETHING for X and Y.

Maybe Sakurai would just rather not reveal something before its release, and since he can't do it on the actual day itself, he'll wait until Monday.

Sonic would like to dispute that claim.

That said, if the reveal isn't specific to the Direct, then all that means is that we should be getting our mon reveal any day now.

Is it bad that a person who never played Pókemon (me) is a little too excited as to which character from the franchise might be revealed soon?

Even I don't understand why. O_o

I don't see why it's weird. I haven't really played F-Zero, Star Fox, or Earthbound but I'm still waiting for them to reveal characters for those franchises.
