Smash is a big enough game that another Direct could probably be warranted.

Personally I prefer the air your mom another character reveal. Any character reveal. Just to make-or-break this "leak" so the rampant insanity and stupidity can cease.

We probably won't get another veteran so soon after Meta Knight. And probably no newcomer until maybe right near release.

Taking the Wii U version into account it might get three directs if we're lucky.

[up] I dunno man, the wait between Toon Link and Sonic was pretty short. I remember it being like a week right?

It was short, yeah. Though I imagine Sonic is a special circumstance being a guest fighter.

We got Zelda a week after Rosalina. Diddy a week after Little Mac. Lucario two weeks after Dedede. It's never too close to reveal another veteran, especially when there's less than a month till release.

It depends how many characters Sakurai wants to announce before release. With a direct and general updates combined, I think 3 or 4 more might happen. One regular veteran, and 2 or 3 characters in the new Direct(much like Robin's trailer did).

Shadow?

My guess is he will reveal every non-secret character before the game's release, like it was with the DOJO.

What leads me to what worries me... Where are those Ice Climbers I crave for so much?

I wouldn't worry about them. The Polar Bears from that series have shown up, so they'll probably appear before too long.

We only have 4 possible scenarios for the Ice Climbers; Cut for this overall installment due to technical difficulties, fixed, revamped as one Climber(a different kind of fix), or temporarily cut to finish the rest of the game(and will be DLC later. They may be available right away in the Wii U version with free dlc for the 3DS version).

I never get why Japan puts some things in English but the rest in their own language. Like why title it "START UP MASTER GUIDE" when even the logo is in Japanese?

The Japanese love English, for the most part. They use it because it sounds cool to them. There are also occasions where English simply has a word that Japanese lacks for whatever reason so they borrow it (in case you don't know, this is known as a loan word and English is full of them from damn near every language ever).

Modern Japanese stands out, however, for taking in unnecessary loanwords from English strictly for the sake of sounding cool.

I sure said that!

Yeaaaaaaaaah, its really kind of bizarre to watch anime after trying to learn the language and wondering "Why the heck they speak mangled English when they have their own word for that?"

#54642: Aug 22nd 2014 at 9:58:25 PM

I tend to think that it's because the Japanese want their works to be more internationally successful, so they put in all the English to appeal to western viewers or readers or players.

Even if it doesn't make much sense.

It's kinda like how English speakers get shirts with random words in other languages.

We're not really in a position to complain about the loanwords. Maybe 25% of English words are native to the language, with most of the rest being French-descended. English loves to take words from other tongues instead of making its own words. Such as karaoke, sake(the drink), or tycoon. It makes English nice and varied.

[up] I absolutely hate our version of the word "sake." For starters, we pronounce it wrong and it doesn't even get a by (at least in my book) like "kamikaze" since our version has the exact same meaning. The other is that our meaning is wrong since sake can't be rice wine since it can't be a wine. Wine is traditionally, by definition, the fermented juice of grapes. Guess what rice isn't. If anything, sake is a type of beer as even the brewing process is similar to that of beer. So yeah.

Yeah, English has a lot of loan words from pretty much every language ever. That's probably why not even native English speakers can actually pronounce it properly most of the time.

So, how about that Smash Bros For? It's totally a thing and looks cool.

^^^ To be fair, the conversation doesn't seem to be about loanwords, specifically, but Gratuitous English. Which, of course, we counter over here with Gratuitous Japanese, or Gratuitous German, or what have you.
