WARNING: CHALLENGER APPROACHING
We'll be finding out what is coming to Smash Bros outside of the E3 digital event.
Nintendo has announced a presentation by Masahiro Sakurai detailing new Smash Bros content will air on Sunday at 7:40 a.m. PT / 10:40 a.m. ET / 1640 CET.
The video is timed to start 20 minutes before the Lucas downloads become available, but may confirm content beyond that. We'll be on top of it for you.
We won't see the poll results since the site says the deadline for that is October 3rd. The winner of that won't be announced until the end of the year Nintendo Direct.
But I do expect this Direct to show Ryu and Roy along with a shitload of DLC stages. Since it's getting it's own Direct I wouldn't be surprised if they show Wolf as well. Hell, if the Direct is 20 minutes, I wonder if they might even show some bigger stuff like new modes, maybe the Wii U version getting a real Adventure mode.
Like we've all known, DLC for Smash Bros is a gold mine and I wouldn't be surprised if Sakurai is about to pick us all clean.
Smash doesn't need new characters: it needs new stages to fight on.(https://i.imgur.com/c7NJRa2h.jpg)
What's weird to me about Ryu's victory theme and stage music is that they aren't remixed or updated in any way. They both sound ripped from Street Fighter II. Granted, Super Smash Bros. has included the original music and sound effects from older games, but Sakurai has gone all out before with hiring all those composers to remix songs so I'd expect the same here. I suppose there's nothing stopping remixes from appearing in an upcoming update (in addition to the originals) that actually include Ryu though it's odd that anything would be included in this update. Maybe this is a meta-troll, included only since Sakurai is aware that the update would be data-mined immediately so it was thrown in there to drive everyone crazy with rumors and speculation... SAKURAIIIIIII!!!!!Sakurai mostly plays by his own rules so it's difficult to rule anything out... Except Ridley. If Ryu (and Fire Emblem Roy) are DLC, remixed music could always be included in the actual updates. I'm ready and willing to buy all characters and stages. It doesn't matter who or what either.
Cutting room floor is a very reputable source and have leaked other unannounced features such as 8 player smash, master orders/crazy orders, the dlc shop and new remixes of Mario Paint & Nintendo Land.
