I doubt they'll show a full match. Why would they?

I'm guessing a fair amount of talk about online play, at least one character, and a release date for sure.

I don't see why not. It would be nice to see some actual movement and action going on besides the clips in the reveal trailers. They'd just need to only use characters, items, and moves that have already been revealed (unless they want to reveal them in action).

It would also be a good way for them to pad out time. tongue

I just don't see the point in showing a whole match, or why that would be interesting. It's Smash Bros. We know exactly what it looks like in action.

I wouldn't be surprised by numerous small snippets that get the point across, though, like showing off Link's new Meteor Smash or how Mac's Power Meter really works.

I sure said that!

Pretty sure we saw at least one pre-release match when Brawl was coming out.

Granted, it was likely only to show Sonic in action shortly after his announcement, but I'd say it counts.

Sakurai and... Erm, someone I forgot about, had a match between Mario and Mega Man at the announcement. That's how we discovered Mario still has F.L.U.D.D.

It would still be really nice to see in full action. Not to mention it plays differently from Brawl or Melee, so it'd give a nice sense of the flow and physics. And I wanna see people get smashed around and flung off-stage.

[up]Yeah, and it was good. I want to see another match. Preferably a four-man battle.

I'd wanna see them say whether My Music comes back, and more details about what happens when you connect the two versions together.

Both of those would be very much welcomed. Though the former seems like a shoe-in to me, since it's one of those features that they'd be shooting themselves in the foot by not reincluding.

I'm fully expecting at least 2-4 newcomer announcements between now and release. We are definitely going to get one on Tuesday and one at E3, but the others depend on how many more normal Directs we get and when the game launches.

Considering they're doing an entire direct devoted to Smash Brothers I would be incredibly disappointed if we didn't get a trailer that revealed at least three or four new characters, preferably with one of them being new. It would make up for them not announcing any new characters in a month and a half.

Looking back at the week, I kinda wish he'd chosen to make the Gust Jar an item instead of the Bellows.

But that might have trodden on Luigi's toes too much.

I have a message from another time...

Anybody think they'll explain in more detail how the heck you could control the more unique newcomers like Rosalina and Luma and Little Mac?

Yeah, we wanna see a full match, along with a character's victory theme.

The E3 stuff didn't get a chance to display some ear candy, due to all the background noise.

Mac's moveset seems to be based on limited combos and mix-ups. His side punch can be different depending on whether you tilt the stick up, down, or leave it centred, for example. Plus, he has that charge metre.

So...what about that besides the meter, needs any kind of explanation?

You just explained how his Side Smash works...the other things are just best for strategy in using him.

Yeah- Boot up Melee or Brawl, manually use Captain Falcon's side Smash, and before releasing the A button, tilt the stick up or down. He'll angle his elbow a bit in those directions upon finishing charging- Mac's Side Smash is just a more in-depth version of that.

I sure said that!

Other characters have variations on that too. Bowser's and Wario's forward-tilts can be angled, for example.
