The most metal form of beat boxing Shiryu

19:46

I wonder if we will get any new SMM2 reveals?

19:45

Takashi Tezuka! What an honor!

19:44

Whoa! Congrats Abdallah!!!

19:43

Man, I sure arrived at a heated moment!

Take it away, Zion

Liam_Doolan said:

We have a special guest joining us on the live blog very soon...the one and only Zion! You might have already seen him in the main chat.

19:19

Liam_Doolan said:

The live stream and chat are now up and running!

Shiryu said:

Hope you had fun folks. And this was just an 'amuse bouche' for what is to come. o/ Back to work!

MasterJay said:

That was fun

Arnold-Kage said:

bye

Arnold-Kage said:

wow that still a pretty sweet announcement

patbacknitro18 said:

Welp see you guys in 3 days

Arnold-Kage said:

that so nintendo

patbacknitro18 said:

I called it

Shard1 said:

Announcement of an announcement

Arnold-Kage said:

bye flap

J-Plap said:

Bye guys pizza time

J-Plap said:

well then

J-Plap said:

Oh ok

Arnold-Kage said:

Because if it yes then you would want him to appear with an bang

J-Plap said:

I MEAN YES SAKURAI

patbacknitro18 said:

I think so as far as for something like this

Arnold-Kage said:

is it yes or no

J-Plap said:

YES

J-Plap said:

No

Arnold-Kage said:

Still this is bowser first appearance as the president of NOA right

J-Plap said:

Yeah

patbacknitro18 said:

I thoght so too, but this makes sense as well

J-Plap said:

Puh-lease

Arnold-Kage said:

Was expecting Sakurai to come on stage actually

patbacknitro18 said:

Pleas Bowser give us something

J-Plap said:

True

Arnold-Kage said:

if we get one

J-Plap said:

Yay announcement time

patbacknitro18 said:

Also sorry I was like 3 minutes behind lol

patbacknitro18 said:

Well crap

MasterJay said:

They won both

Grumblevolcano said:

It's over

patbacknitro18 said:

Never mind this is goin on another round

J-Plap said:

Wait mii fighter?

J-Plap said:

o7

patbacknitro18 said:

Holy crap, I didn't think a comeback was possible

J-Plap said:

Is that a saluting emoticon?

Shiryu said:

still here, still going strong o7

J-Plap said:

even if it were for mobile

J-Plap said:

I guess

patbacknitro18 said:

It's made for both casual and competitive players. Offering content for both

J-Plap said:

Really?

patbacknitro18 said:

Actually Smash was made with competitive play in mind

J-Plap said:

Smash was supposed to be casual

J-Plap said:

Not smash

patbacknitro18 said:

I will consider this a win for Europe if they can just take 1 stock

patbacknitro18 said:

It really is lol

J-Plap said:

So unfair XP

J-Plap said:

They have better chairs than the s2 players

patbacknitro18 said:

Japan is screwing them over hard

J-Plap said:

Wait wait wait

patbacknitro18 said:

It might as well be

J-Plap said:

Is it over?

J-Plap said:

So uhh

J-Plap said:

Yeah

patbacknitro18 said:

This may be over real quick

patbacknitro18 said:

I mean Home Run Contest was datamined a long while back, alongside stage builder. So what if Home Run Contest gets added in at E3?

Dr_Corndog said:

I kind of think we will get a new character next week.

patbacknitro18 said:

Also if you are right, then who is to say that we won't be getting 4.0.0 at E3?

Dr_Corndog said:

We might get two characters revealed at once and then a single update for both of them, but yeah, the version number is going to be silly regardless.

Dr_Corndog said:

So, knowing how concerned NIntendo is with their secrets, they probably won't release an update for a character until after that character is announced.

patbacknitro18 said:

I highly doubt that, especially is Sakurai plans on adding more game modes and such. I feel like the .0 updates would be reserved for new game modes

Grumblevolcano said:

Yeah

patbacknitro18 said:

So by the end of the Smash Ultimates Fighter pass the game will be at 7.0.0?

Dr_Corndog said:

And those updates were datamined, and the DLC characters were spoiled ahead of release.

Grumblevolcano said:

Piranha Plant was 2.0.0, Joker was 3.0.0

patbacknitro18 said:

We are supposed to have 5 DLC characters by Febuary of next year, and so far it's been 6 months into this year and we just have the 1 character

Dr_Corndog said:

With Smash 4, they released updates for multiple characters at a time, before they were released.

patbacknitro18 said:

Also its not like everytime a character releases the game has to update to a .0

patbacknitro18 said:

But why? VR doesn't seem that important for a 4.0 update

Grumblevolcano said:

It feels like if there was a release during E3 then the VR update would've been delayed to release alongside 4.0.0

J-Plap said:

Yeah there is

Dr_Corndog said:

Nothing wrong with playing with items, though.

patbacknitro18 said:

Idk, I feel like we would get a character launched at E3. I mean look how abrupt Jokers reveal was.

J-Plap said:

I mean we got PP in febuary, and Joker 2 months later...

Dr_Corndog said:

That, uh, actually lessens the skill required.

J-Plap said:

Sounds bout right

Grumblevolcano said:

I think 1 releasing late June/early July and then next reveal comes in a August Direct

J-Plap said:

Wow really you should

patbacknitro18 said:

Not only do you have to rely on skill, but you also have to adapt on the fly with the random element of the items and what they do

Dr_Corndog said:

I don't think I've even tried it. And I've played a good bit of Smash.

J-Plap said:

Esp since I don't have a main

J-Plap said:

Genius mode

patbacknitro18 said:

Items do make the matchs more interesting.

J-Plap said:

Yeah I love squad strike

Dr_Corndog said:

Squad Strike might make for an interesting format at standard tournaments. Can't say I care for the items, though.

Dr_Corndog said:

I'm thinking the same thing.

patbacknitro18 said:

1 will be launched at E3, and one will be revealed but the launch date will be set a few months after E3

patbacknitro18 said:

I'm thinking we will be getting 2 DLC character reveals at E3.

Dr_Corndog said:

My money's on an announcement during the Direct, though.

patbacknitro18 said:

Making a comeback like that and barely surviving at 150% was actually amazing. I would have given up

Dr_Corndog said:

Haha, I'll probably just read any DLC announcement later.

J-Plap said:

~~I'm just here for a dlc announcement~~

Dr_Corndog said:

Well, I recognize SuperGirlKels, but she's not playing :b

patbacknitro18 said:

The American player last round was amazing

Dr_Corndog said:

Not surprised Japan won. Zackray is a legit worldwide top player. Only player here I recognize, actually.

Arnold-Kage said:

yup

Dr_Corndog said:

Looks like we've got finals now. Best of 5 there, so another 30 minutes?

Grumblevolcano said:

It's the final next

J-Plap said:

Wait how much longer should this be?

patbacknitro18 said:

The Nintendo E3 cannot get here soon enough

patbacknitro18 said:

So I am really hoping Nintendo bought back the rights to Banjo and Kazooie.

patbacknitro18 said:

And more recently the Sea of Thieves game

patbacknitro18 said:

Not to mention Microsoft has done NOTHING with Banjo and Kazooie for years. In their eyes it's worthless. Heck all they have had Rareware do for years is make Motion games

I guess we will see

Stranger things have happened

patbacknitro18 said:

I mean Microsoft has been REAAAAl friendly with Nintendo latley. What if thats because Nintendo has been making a few deals with them latley?

Would be bizarre if that company was Nintendo

Rare did say they would have to have another company make BK

Hmm

(EA aren't supporting the Switch lol)

patbacknitro18 said:

I'm thinking that IP is going to be Banjo and Kazooie

Rogue Squadron?

Could be as big as Minecraft

patbacknitro18 said:

Remember how Nintendo announced they would be reviving an IP everyone thought was dead?

Heck, I reckon Pokémon sword / shield should cross play with Xbox lol

SO I think Microsft are being savvy

Xbox are going more for a service. They will have a beast of a next gen console. Not too sure that's competing with the Switch

patbacknitro18 said:

That's why i'm hoping Nintendo accepted Rares proposal and ended up buying some of their IP's

It made Nintendo translate Mother lol

Arnold-Kage said:

yup , and to be fair think rare's games would find a better market with switch fans then their own

Companies do amazing things when they are in third place

patbacknitro18 said:

And the Switch is marketed as both a handheld and home console

patbacknitro18 said:

Well the Switch is outselling the Xbone

I don't know, I'm just spit ballin'

Because it's not competing with XBox

Arnold-Kage said:

That is an microsoft exclusive as well

(hmm it's late and I think I made a double negative lol - sorry)

Arnold-Kage said:

Grail with that logic then why did switch get cuphead

Arnold-Kage said:

not sure

Exactly, there is precedent for Microsoft not thinking a handheld isn't competing with their home console. So maybe that thinking transfers to Switch.

J-Plap said:

When will this be over?

J-Plap said:

Wait

J-Plap said:

Welp i don't like watching smash so outa here

patbacknitro18 said:

That includes Banjo and Kazooie

J-Plap said:

I hope so

patbacknitro18 said:

The head of Rareware said last year that Rare was considering giving away its IP's to other companies.

Arnold-Kage said:

no clue J

J-Plap said:

Are we gonna get a dlc fighter announced after this?

Arnold-Kage said:

actually not really. Rare games have come to nintendo consoles before. I mean we had a lot of stuff from rare on gba and ds

Oh now you are being pedantic. Who owns Rare?

patbacknitro18 said:

Also GrailUK actually no, Banjo is owned by Rare. And in fact Microsoft cares so little for Banjo that Rare made a statement saying that they may just give the rights away

patbacknitro18 said:

Obviously Sony would never allow God of War to be on a Nintendo console. So the only other option would be Halo being on the Switch

Banjo is owned by Microsoft lol. Of course it's the same.

patbacknitro18 said:

The comparison with Mario on Playstation makes it seem like one of the Big characters from the other companies will have a game on the Nintendo Switch.

patbacknitro18 said:

@GrailUK I don't think so. Banjo has been on Nintendo systems before, so that wouldn't be that accurate of a comparison

Arnold-Kage said:

alright. Go europa

Shiryu said:

just checking

Arnold-Kage said:

Me

Shiryu said:

anyone alive out there?

Shard1 said:

DLC tease

Mario on PS sounds like Banjo on Switch to me lol

patbacknitro18 said:

So a lot of people think Microsoft is going to be crazy enough to put the Master Chief Collection on the Nintendo Switch

patbacknitro18 said:

He said that it was something so impossible, that it could have never happened years ago. He compared it to a Mario game being put on Playstation.

patbacknitro18 said:

And King Zell since then has gotten a ton of other Nintendo announcements correct. And a while back he said something "Impossible" was going to happen at E3.

patbacknitro18 said:

King Zell was a leaked who leaked the entire last Nintendo direct. (The one with Links Awakening at the end) He got every single game in it correct just a few days before it launche

Never heard of him

patbacknitro18 said:

Do you guys who who King Zell is?

Grumblevolcano said:

I hope Microsoft has a backwards compatibility segment which includes Sonic Heroes

patbacknitro18 said:

I hope Microsoft gives us some good Nintendo announcements tomorrow.

patbacknitro18 said:

Ya but Bandai only had 4 games leaked, and 2 of them are technically the same game. Bandai still has a lot of stuff that wasn't spoiled. Like who the final Dragonball FighterZ DLC c

Grumblevolcano said:

Microsoft has been doing plenty of teases about Nintendo recently too

Arnold-Kage said:

still hope not everything get spoiled to early. I mean did you hear the bandai rumors

patbacknitro18 said:

Not to mention the company making it has been teasing on Twitter about some Banjo stuff happening at E3

patbacknitro18 said:

Ikr? The fact that it's listed as a Nintendo product, and not Microsoft or Rare pretty much confirms Nintendo is doing something with Banjo

Arnold-Kage said:

okay watching tomorrow for sure

patbacknitro18 said:

That new Banjo Controler holding statue launching at E3 is listed as a Nintendo Product

Arnold-Kage said:

Yeah that is an popular rumor

Arnold-Kage said:

piraha plant was in feb , joker in april so characters in june , august , oktober and december seems to work

patbacknitro18 said:

Also did you guys hear the new Banjo news?

patbacknitro18 said:

That would work if we get a DLC character at E3.

Arnold-Kage said:

still so far they went with a dlc character every two months

patbacknitro18 said:

We are suppose to have 5 Smash Ultimate DLC characters by February next year, and we are 6 months in the year and only have 1 dlc character.

Arnold-Kage said:

An shadow drop after the direct and an character to be launched in august

Arnold-Kage said:

that what i am suspecting will happen

patbacknitro18 said:

Though if we are lucky we may get 2 Smash DLC announcments at E3. 1 character launching at E3, and 1 reveal launching a few months after

Arnold-Kage said:

So I am about 80 % certain we see miyamoto once again appear during ubisoft conference with an huge announcement

patbacknitro18 said:

If it is a Microsoft rep then there is a good chance

Arnold-Kage said:

well usually it makes sense. I mean ubisoft did get the chance to shine the last two years with those two announcements

Grumblevolcano said:

Honestly I think the Smash reveal will come tomorrow

patbacknitro18 said:

I mean I can see why they'd wanna go last for that lasting impact. But I need those announcements now lol. Especially if they plan on launching a DLC character for Smash at E3

Arnold-Kage said:

still expect we got a lot to see this year as normally these tournaments take place during the treehouse time

Arnold-Kage said:

To be fair i think that also a strength

Arnold-Kage said:

still have to work tuesday morning which i suck

patbacknitro18 said:

Though I hate that Nintendo is always like the last ones who do their E3

Arnold-Kage said:

it is

patbacknitro18 said:

Having vacation time at E3 is the best

Capt_N said:

gotta bump out for a few minutes.

Arnold-Kage said:

Always got to much vacation time as i earn like 2 to 3 hours every week

Arnold-Kage said:

was told to take time off as i got like more then 8 weeks of vacation time so used it for e3

Capt_N said:

I've usually got stuff to do, but when I can, I like to catch the Treehouse.

patbacknitro18 said:

I'm excited for the Ubisoft stream

Arnold-Kage said:

well mostly because I am thinking we may get some surprise their. Also the third party reveals their. For me ubisoft and square enix are also shows to watch

Capt_N said:

I might check out the highlights from MS. I'm slightly interested in them, too. I'm primarily N, though.

Arnold-Kage said:

Will be watching microsoft tomorrow , and maybe bethesda depending on how long microsoft is

Capt_N said:

I'll have to catch up later on the SMM2 stuff. For now, Smash Ultimate. E3 right upon us, this coming week. For some, it starts tomorrow.

personauser93 said:

Time for Animal Crossing

J-Plap said:

J-Plap said:

Even tho NA lost

J-Plap said:

So happy

Guybrush20X6 said:

So it's Pearl and Mad Max vs Marina and 1984?

Shiryu said:

Japan won everything, who knew!

great i have not even got the game

ieatdragonz said:

So basically LAN parties will keep splatfests alive

They have done such a good job supporting this game

Grumblevolcano said:

5.0.0 update

very cool

Kyogre101 said:

Cool

PokeMario said:

kid vs squid

Arnold-Kage said:

chaos vs order . Wow

Arnold-Kage said:

yessss

Grumblevolcano said:

Announcement time!

Arnold-Kage said:

Squad research lab time

Grumblevolcano said:

Let's see if there's announcements

Arnold-Kage said:

goodnight Azo

Have a good one Az

ieatdragonz said:

Its the dab man

Alright, guys. This is it for me this night. See you at Nintendo E3 direct.

Yeah, they earned this

Arnold-Kage said:

That was an amazing comeback

GG Boyz only lost 2 rounds in this tournament.

Wowsers

And a champion has emerged.

The good ol' Kelp Dome

NL should add current online counter

If GG Boyz win, they're 2 years in a row champs.

Arnold-Kage said:

this is some amazing action

That was ana awesome match

That was awesome match

Arnold-Kage said:

Japan is making an come back

Deku-Scrub said:

Dang US might pull this off

Grumblevolcano said:

No, quite early in final

Shard1 said:

Is it over?

Shiryu said:

no surprise.

Joshslone7 said:

Japan wins 4-2

Nintendo Switch is the best thing for the tournament since it was announced.

The finals is best of 7. Make a guess who'll win the tournament.

They brought a table on the stage. Probably an announcement coming.

The Finals will be: FTWin (NA) vs GG Boyz (JP).

GG, FTWin

PokeMario said:

and when someone else has it i paint a path all the way to victory but the rainmaker hides like a wuss

PokeMario said:

when i get the rainmaker my team cowers behind me

Arnold-Kage said:

Think they will just do what they did for the final splatfest theme for the original game. Marina vs Pearl

PokeMario said:

just paint a path and let rainmaker swim through it

Call the police. I just witnessed a robbery.

i thinking about the smash contest

do you think we get smash news here

Arnold-Kage said:

Also what you think of those players that just superjump into an kill zone over and over again

PokeMario said:

i like to get the most splats and get the objective -_-

Arnold-Kage said:

Hey that good advice we just got. As I usually get people on my team who want to get the most splats while ignoring the objective

Arnold-Kage said:

Still to be fair Japan is the favorite to win

They weren't ready, obviously.

Arnold-Kage said:

Lime soda did not stand a chance

GG, GGG Boyz

Lime Soda is getting destroyed

Arnold-Kage said:

I love this song

Grumblevolcano said:

Controller issues so first match got replayed

Oh, I though they count

Grumblevolcano said:

1-0

Grumblevolcano said:

The first match didn't count

If JP team wins next match, they'll go to the finals.

GG Boyz 2 - 0 Lime Soda

It's over, boys

Sorry, Lime Soda, but you weren't ready. Better luck next time.

Matthew010 said:

I came back.

Aaaaaaand, Lime Soda gets dominated again by GG Boyz. Its a one-sided match, to be honest.

Semi-finals. Round 2. Let's go!

Lime Soda needs to win at least once to get their spirits up.

Thanks Grail!

Have a good show Zion

10 sec stingray. Wow.

I feel sorry for Lime Soda. They probably weren't ready for this tournament.

Grumblevolcano said:

This ended quick

Let's gooooo

Damn that typo

All teams except Lime Lime Soda (AUS/NZ) have won at least a match.

Arnold-Kage said:

Well Japan is likely reaching the finals

Matthew010 said:

Ok. I'm gonna disappear for about ten minutes, but then I'll be back for a bit.

I think so. Best of 5 in Semi-finals.

Matthew010 said:

Is it the semi finals now?

Press the "LIVE" button on YouTube player.

Matthew010 said:

I think my stream is behind. Oh well.

FTWin is completely destryed

GG Boyz win

I was wondering myself: "How was I able top splat him 4 times while we're getting dominated?".

it's funny coz it's true

Matthew010 said:

Same.

Whenever I spot a Japanese player in a lobby, I pray that he's in my team

Let's go!!

Matthew010 said:

I think Japan will win this one, but I hope NA does, too.

Sooo Shiny

That trophy

The semi-finals and finals will be a long one.

Matthew010 said:

ok

It's GG Boyz (JP) vs FTWin (NA)

Matthew010 said:

Who's in round 3?

We don't wanna go into politics while gaming fanatics like E3 tournaments are on the roll.

This should be good

Matthew010 said:

I don't think so @Azooooz. Although I wish they had.

Shh...Brexit is embarrassing,

Matthew010 said:

I'm hopingfor Alliance Rogue @ziondood!

AR will win

Didn't the Brexit plans ended when Theresa May resigned?

Grumblevolcano said:

@Shard1 If you're on about support, the servers are still active though there are only 2 Splatfests left (one is next weekend and the other is in July)

Matthew010 said:

Will the UK have our own team if Brexit ever happens?

Round 2, Lime Soda (AUS/NZ) vs. Alliance Rogue (EU)

I have a Space Wolves army. (8th edition was very cruel to it )

Matthew010 said:

I've never heard of Warhammer.

I've never played any Warhammer, but I worked at a game store that carried it! Have a lot of friends that play

Matthew010 said:

I think Microsoft will bring out their "big guns" in Sony's absence, and it doesn't look like Nintendo's slacking off either.

There are still lots of games without SOny

Shard1 said:

Can anybody explain the online situation in this game?

It will Grumble

Remember last year when they announced next E3? Well, here we are.

Grumblevolcano said:

It's all about whether the rest can make up for Sony's absence

Matthew010 said:

I think it will.

Grumblevolcano said:

I hope E3 continues after this year

Round 2, Lime Soda (AUS/NZ) vs. GG Boyz (JP)

Matthew010 said:

I will go to E3 one year, I will go to E3 one year...

Agreed

Shiryu said:

Aye, we need more WarHammer on Switch. 40k preferably.

@matthew010 - Apparently so!

It's FTWin wins

Top tier Orks at the mo

Alliance is destroying the opponent

Matthew010 said:

Looks like Alan has a good seat, @ziondood!

You talking Warhammer @Shiryu??

In case you missed, there's a spectator mode in this game, which let's you see your friend's match

Arnold-Kage said:

Yeah hope we get an better chat option soon. As it hard to communicate with friends , and for mario maker 2 we need an better option as well

Shiryu said:

GG Boyz is a good Ork squad name.

MasterJay said:

Yeah, but, correct me if im wrong, thats only in the lounge mode right? So you would need 8 friends to make use of it

Matthew010 said:

Even

Matthew010 said:

Efen putting a form of the app on the eShop would be better. Not that I use voice chat, ever.

They look like they work in a call center

I just hate the need of mobile to voice chat.

They are sat next to each other

Wait, they have, but only with friends, which makes more sense.

MasterJay said:

Yeah, I like how the judges are talking about how important communication is, yet we dont get voice chat online

Matthew010 said:

I hope Europe wins!

deafswin37 said:

Boring

Chandlero said:

Do you know some of these players?

I mean Rogue*

Arnold-Kage said:

Still let's go europa

Alliance Rouge (EUR) vs FTWin (NA). Coming up!

Arnold-Kage said:

Yeah that what happens to most. Still did say I suck compare to these players

Matthew010 said:

I'm good, but if the rest of my team sucks, I don't have a chance.

MasterJay said:

I think im decent though

MasterJay said:

then i need to play more, only have 85

Arnold-Kage said:

And I still suck compared to these players

Matthew010 said:

Yes! Japan gets the first win.

Arnold-Kage said:

way more then that. got like 200 hours in the game

Matthew010 said:

How many hours of practice does it take to get this good? I have 70 hours.

Ooohh

GG, LimeSoda

!!!

Chandlero said:

I find it hard to follow the match.

SSM2

I didn't watch the whole SMM@ Invitational, but the last match was so intense, my heart started beating fast.

This game is simply glorious lol.

Matthew010 said:

Do these people compete in Splatfests?

Grumblevolcano said:

I'll make sure I can at least play in the final 2 Splatfests

Matthew010 said:

They're already 1000x better than me

Lime Soda (AUS/NZ) vs GGBoyz (JP)

Chandlero said:

@Shiryu: You might be right

Here we go!

Alright, the game is about to start

Shiryu said:

well, I wouldn't go as far as to call me "civilized"...

Shard1 said:

I still lose every time I play

Matthew010 said:

Yeah, Youtube comment sections can be pretty toxic at times.

Couldn't agree more

Matthew010 said:

I'm guessing you mean the live chat?

Chandlero said:

Of course, we are civilized

better company O.

I came from Nintendo's YouTube, and goodness, here is 1000x better.

Abdallah's win was intense, I felt like I was playing. Phew

Arnold-Kage said:

Yeah my money is on Japan

timing hitting switches and jumping

Matthew010 said:

I'd place money on Japan, too, Shiryu.

Arnold-Kage said:

Especially that final was amazing

co-op needs some really good co-ordination

Mario maker was awesome!

Shiryu said:

I think the Australian team is going to splatted. Sorry Liam!

Matthew010 said:

The boss battle was very creative I look forward to seeing more like it.

Some fiendish puzzles and a decent boss battle at the end

Awesome!

Chandlero said:

How was Mario Maker?

Matthew010 said:

It was just a short break while they removed the pipe from the roof.

Blimey, my kettle barely had chance to boil!

Matthew010 said:

Yeah, it finished about 5 mins ago.
