What to do, what to do. I predicted story mode being updated to soon and I guessed the music a day early. Should I stick with items or do something else? Could the update tomorrow be a Snake item? But what? The cardboard box? I'd think that would be a special move. Could it be a stage? The character profile? Is it another hero that arrives late? Could it be a reference to K.K. Slider being playable? After all, he's shown in Smashville as arriving late in the day and the music today was K.K. Slider's theme. Is it a hint for an Animal Crossing character reveal instead? And if you really want to throw some speculation into the mix, could it be a reference to where the story mode left off with heroes arriving late? What to do, what to do?
Follow the Snake crowd. It just seems like the most sense. Although people say third party characters will be unlockable or hidden, do you really think 3rd parties want their characters needing some sort of requirement to be unlocked? What if a person doesn't unlock the character for some time? I think they want their characters available at the start, ready to go. That way, they get the most exposure for that character.
Think about it. What if Sonic is announced as being in the game? You think people wouldn't like to do a Sonic vs. Mario battle as soon as possible? But first, you have to play 400 multiplayer rounds first to unlock him. No, he's going to be ready to go out of the gate. So, if my logic is correct, then I assume 3rd party characters would also have a stage ready to go at the start. A home turf of some sort. So, with that, I too predict:
Aug. 24, 2007
(General) - Stage update
(Specific) - Solid Snake stage from Metal Gear
(Superspecific) - I don't know. Maybe a tank shows up or some other form of modern artillary and fires at brawlers.
