i feel the need to rant about how stupidly overpriced the character dlc is but i lack the energy right now

i'd argue with you how 5 dollars for another fighter is actually reasonable.

now mii costumes is another hand
 
I agree that five dollars for a character for technically two games is a reasonable price, it's about what I was expecting
 
5 dollars for a character is insanely cheap, no one should be complaining about that.

its like those people complained about expansions being 20 dollars.
 
I believe it's 10:40 in my timezone. If it rains that day during that time and I stay inside for recess (which is 10:49), I would be able to watch part of it. But most likely I will miss it.

I will check to see what it reveals at lunch though.
 
yeah nah no way i'm watching that live

but cool anyway
 
expecting roy

maybe ryu but i have a feeling they might want to save his reveal for something like the e3 thing

Or EVO, a major tournament for both Smash and Street Fighter, which is in July
 
forgot about evo, that would also be a good time to reveal him
 
As much as I would like to see Ryu at EVO, I can't picture Sakurai revealing him there given his stance on competitive play.

Lumastar, we still have to do our Smash Wii U match.

yeah I don't actually think it's happening there either

it just would be a good time to reveal him
 
So, our expectations are pretty set at Roy, Ryu, and/or Wolf being announced in this Smash Direct and/or at E3 this time. However I do feel we should have some room for a big surprise that ends up being NEITHER of the three. Because just look at the history of this game and reveals that surprised everybody.

Wii Fit Trainer @ E3 2013 (Expected Character: No one, since everyone was still going crazy over Megaman at the time)

Rosalina @ December 2013 Nintendo Direct (Expected Character: A new Mario character of some kind. Rosalina at the time was thought to be too recent)

Little Mac @ February 2014 Nintendo Direct (Expected Character: A new Donkey Kong character since Tropical Freeze released then, Dixie Kong or King K. Rool)

Greninja @ The Very First Smash Direct (Expected Character: Given it was a Smash general thread there's probably none that were too many standouts other then the hopes for Ridley and the like. And even people who thought Greninja was Mewtwo at first)

Robin and Lucina @ July 2014 Special Smash Announcement (Expected Character: Shulk and/or Chrom)

Mewtwo DLC @ 50-Fact Extravaganza (Expected Character: None since we all though the roster was done and there would be no DLC)

Lucas DLC @ April 2015 Nintendo Direct (Expected Character: None because we thought Mewtwo was going to be the only DLC Character)

Don't forget there's been times that they've thrown the rug beneath us quite a few times. Heck the only time I think things went almost nearly as expected was E3 2014 when we got Miis, Palutena, and Pac-Man. Which they could do again with Roy, Ryu, and Wolf. But based on history we should be on the lookout for an upset sometimes too.
 
it's possible but I personally highly doubt it will be a surprise, or Wolf for that matter (but I think he'll come later on), the two that were leaked would probably be ready to be shown first

Ryu was already a giant surprise anyway
