Character update. No idea who but I expect a veteran instead of a new reveal.

Maybe a Mother character?

I don't even expect a veteran character to be revealed.

Like I said, Sakurai is going to keep the hype train rolling till the game is released.

He's jumping around saying "I HAVE A SECRET AND I WON'T TELL, I WON'T TELL, I WON'T TELL!".

I predict: a character update tomorrow. (9/14)

Specific: Cloud Strife, from FFVII.
More specific: The internet explodes apocalyptically as hordes of fanboys rage in battle over countless gaming forums as to whether Brawl has been utterly saved or utterly ruined. Sony files bankruptcy.

Sep 14, 2007 Prediction:

(General) Character Reveal
(Specific) Captain Falcon
(SuperSpecific) Falcon's a racer who punches really fast

Luigi Dude and I just seem to share this love for the Captain. We know the only way Smash Bros will start to pick up any hype is when the Falcon's mug is attached to the game. Make it happen.

If there is a second update, I say more love for the Captain.
 
(General) Character Move/Action
(Specific) Captain Falcon - Special Moves
(SuperSpecific) He still likes to Falcon Punch!

I think it'll be something "big" but something unexpected. For instance, when Subspace thing was posted, that came out of the blue. I think it'll be something along those lines. However, I don't feel that it'll be as significant or leading in to a series of updates. It just feels like the kind of week where Sakurai takes the "L".

So, I guess my prediction is something. . .not guessable?

Wow.  Too many people predicting character updates, new character, or vet character reveal.  So I am going to be a dick and require very specific predictions on character reveals for the win.  And that did not happen.

However, thatguy did predict Ice Climbers the day before...to bad he didn't do a continuation prediction.

This update has made me very happy.  I was sad when I heard that there was the possibility of the Ice Climbers being removed because they were such a unique character.

Alright, it's been about two weeks since I updated the leaderboard. My apologies. However, I have gone back in this thread fromthe last time updated and scoured it and awarded points accordingly. Let's see where we stand:

Mashiro - 14
UERD - 8
Khushrenada - 6
Louieturkey - 6
Stevey - 6
Anubis6789 - 4
Sessha - 4
Spak-Spang - 4
TVMan - 4
Bill Aurion - 2
Golden Phoenix - 2
Luigi Dude - 2
PartyBear - 2
Smash_Brother - 2

I know. Mashiro seems to be running away with the game. Concerning Louieturkey, I gave him 6 points because he predicted a music update and technically there were 3 music updates that Friday. Normally I mention why people were awrded points but due to the length of the last update, I have decided to forget about it this time. If you have any questions about how your points you can pm me at anytime. And unlike Spak, I did award a lot of two points for all those who guessed a new character update for last Friday.


I noticed some people could have had points awarded if they had at least provided the genreal guess with the specific guess. For instance, on Friday, Luigi Dude just guessed Captain Falcon. If he had just put new character reveal and then Falcon, he would have had two points. At the same time, I noticed Bill and Spak encouraging people to be more specific with their guesses. So, to help everyone understand how I award scoring, here is my rule list. Just in case you forgot.
Whoever said, "Cheaters never win" must've never met Khushrenada.

Yes, I'm doubling posting. This way, it looks like less to read. Here's how scoring works.

You get two points for a general guess. I.e. what section will be updated. Those general sections are:

Character Profile
Character Move/Action
How to Play
Game Modes
Stages
Items
Music
Notices


After that, there is the specific guess. Elaborate further on what is going to be updated in that section. Specific guesses would be for:

Character Profile - Name of character
Character Move/Action - Name of character and what moveset - Final smash, special moves, regular moves.
How To Play - What technique, rule or lesson would be given
Game Modes - Single Player, Custom, Classic, Sticker, Trophy, Multiplayer, etc.
Stages - What the stage name is and what franchise it represents or game. Delfino Plaza from Super Mario Sunshine. Smashville from Animal Crossing.
Items - What type of item - smash item, assist trophy or pokeball and the item or character it would be. I.E. Smash Item - Ray Gun. Assist Trophy - Toad. Pokeball - Psyduck.
Music - The franchise that will be represented by the music. I.E. Animal Crossing Music. Star Fox music.
Notices - What the notice will be. Announcement. Video. Audio. I'm just throwing it in for the heck of it.


Of course, extra bonus points of 6 could be awarded to people who are even more daring in their prediction. I.E., correctly guessing which composer was responsible for arranging the music, predicting a feature of a stage like Bridge of Eldin collapsing, Nintendogs assist trophy blocks screen, etc.

In some case, half points may be given. I.E. chose the right franchise or character for stage but not the game it came from, choose pokeball but not the right pokemon, choose the right character but not the right move update.

Double Update Posting

Finally, in the case of double updates, write out your first prediction and then specify that if there is a second prediction, this is your guess. However, the snag of double predictions is this. If there is only one update that day and your first prediction is incorrect but your prediction for the second update is the correct update, it doesn't count. The double update prediction isn't a two for one guess. I'll illustrate if you are confused.

Example:

Sep. 14/2007 Prediction

Music Update
Star Fox Music
Venom theme

2nd Update
New Character
Captain Falcon
Bounty hunter who punches fast

In the case of Sep. 14, there was only one update. The Ice Climbers. Therefore, the second update guess does not comply since there is only one update. Yes, the second guess was a character reveal but since that was the second guess and not the primary guess, it does not count.

Now let's say there had been two updates. The Ice Climbers and Kirby's Final Smash. Even though the primary guess is wrong, since there are two updates, the second update is allowed and it gets two points because of the Ice Climber update. So, I hope this gets everybody clear on how I keep track of points and award them.


Finally, there is not rule for how you phrase your prediction. You can do it like PartyBear, keep it general like Mashiro or you can follow what I've been doing. It's up to you.

GOLDEN HAMMER!! Personally I'm more into the SQUEAKY HAMMER, I'm sure it will be good for laughs.
It doesn't say what, if any game, it's from. It's been ages since I played it, but I seem to recall "rare items on pedestal" in Wrecking Crew for NES.

Someone already posted a video of the "magic hammer" in Wrecking Crew.

I don't know what's more amazing, the fact that such an obscure item from such an obscure game would be included, or that Sakurai didn't even reference the game in the update. I suppose he wanted us to figure it out for ourselves.
