I guess today's supposed announcement did get delayed. Understandable, but sad.

I actually don't understand why a one-man video on a future release needed to be delayed.

Any good ranged attacker who's easy to use/cool? I was thinking maybe Falco, if not one of the Links, or even Mario. Mario is super bland though as a character. She probably wouldn't go for him.

Hey, up-air chains to Super Jump Punch kills on Battlefield are really fun! Maybe Mario is bland for people who can't combo, sure, but he's pretty stylish once you get to know how to use him.

If it wasn't shot you need a camera crew which messes up social distancing. If it was shot there was probably an editing team that needed to cut it together, and if any of them got sick it could disrupt or even if they all had to work at home it might've caused it to take longer than if they were all still going into an office to collaborate (because of kids at home/family arrangements or just general break down of efficiency in the process, etc)

It could also just be that the product(s) they were talking about themselves were delayed because of all this stuff and they need to wait to make sure a new timeline before making the announcement

The physical Fighters Pass 2 card went on sale today in Japan so people assumed an announcement of an announcement could also happen today to finally reveal the first fighter of FP2 in a direct maybe.

I mean these are clearly all solved problems in this year 2020 but it's not really a big deal and they don't owe me or anybody else an excuse or explanation

Yeah I guess. But I don't know. It's Mario.

Anyway, it seems like we're running with Jigglypuff, Isabelle, and the Ice Climbers. Playing with her, I'm surprised at how hard Jiggly hits.

We finally played on a stage where she had to avoid falling off from, she did pretty good with Jigglypuff with that. But she needs to practice jumping more, so I think I'll using a scrolling stage next to train that a bit more. She also needs to refrain from falling asleep so often, though she's unbelievably lucky when it comes to rest. Lvl 2 AI is no problem for her for the time being. We'll try 3 next.

Didn't someone that leaked the indies direct also say a regular Direct was happening soon? Maybe we'll get something then or maybe that was delayed due to the virus.

Good morning!
Have online connections been particularly dogshit for anyone else lately? It seems to have gotten a lot worse in the last two weeks. It's so depressing to have a good run thrown out the window because I run into some Mario whose framerate slows to a crawl whenever I try to combo him. Used to be maybe 1 in 10 games and now it's more like 3 in 5.

There appears to be some unknown cause for a large multitude of people to stay home and play video games for a majority of the day within the last two weeks and overload most online servers.

It's def Spring Man + Ribbon Girl at the bare minimum, which is cool and good.

For real! I was wondering if maybe that info was already known or something based on the total lack of activity in this thread compared to past reactions to official DLC character announcements.

Though to be fair an ARMS character could have been easily predicted, and we still don't know exactly which one it'll be yet.

If it's the one the assist trophy is, Shadow and Shovel Knight are back on the table :cool:

I don't play ARMS but I can admit it has loving awesome character designs and concepts.

I'm really happy with this announcement. I'm not a fan of ARMS the game....but i love the concepts and designs, and an ARMS fighter is a perfect fit for smash. I legit feel like it was a huge shock to not have an ARMS fighter in a launch.

The music is amazing. I hope we get at least 20 tracks, if not more. I hope they do something cool with the arena too. King of Fighters Stadium is the best for novices to the series.
