A little late but hopefully am not too late to join the giveaway. But recalling my first reaction to the direct; I was disappointed there was no new animal crossing, fire emblem, or a new pokemon title coming out. But now I know that's confirmed from pater directs.
Anyways back on topic, when I first saw inkling girl I was just so done with the direct considering to be one of the worse in my opinion lol thinking hey splatoon 2 dlcs or splatoon 3 coming. I'm not into splatoon as much tbh! But that symbol in her eye of the smash logo just made me lose it and I screamed when it was confirmed that Smash 5 was coming, that I fell off my chair and I said "Okay nvm about being the worse direct, you earn my respect back Nintendo for surprising us like that!" I was actually watching my uncle's reaction livestream and his reaction was the reason why I laughed so hard after he screamed in hyped and just made the rest of us feel hyped too xD Then I was questioning "what's up with the dark figures in the back with glowing red eyes such as Mario" and then I just thought "oh confirmed fighters from N64 title obviously since rhey been in every smash game lol".
That concludes my reaction but as a bonus, I swear Sakurai loves to surprise us Smash fans but on the E3 direct, they announced EVERYONE IS HERE meaning previous fighters who didn't appear from brawl and melee in smash 4 are back and I was like I'm tears of joy "my childhood is back thank you for bringing the smash family together as one Sakurai" "Nintendo won E3 this year with Smash Ultimate hands down!" And on the last direct I laughed and cried again when a story mode better than subspace from brawl was confirmed. I can finally see my favorite characters such as Greninja or Yoshi interact with each other and my dream came true <3
