Am I part of the fanfic yet

Yes you are!

envy you

 

[MisterWisp]

Looking at the leaked stage select screen again, I can't seem to identify three of them:

- Second row, #5
- Fourth row, #6 (the prevailing theory right now is that it's Magicant though, right?)
- Fifth row, #3

Can anyone help me out?

-Yoshi's Island
-Yup, probably is Magicant
-PictoChat

edit: nvm Hatchtag beat me to it!

 

[BuggyDClown]

It probably animates with the hand.

Exactly my point.

Like I said, show me a single model other than some bad (I think this design choice is odd) where something has been ripped from.

Show me anything concrete about this leak. It's all nitpicking. Its very similar to the kind of stuff people over analyze so they can be the one to spot a fake. Then everyone is shocked when it was real all along.

This time I won't be caught on the wrong team.

#TeamReal. DHD and Bowser Jr is going to be awesome.

.

Second row #5 = Yoshi stage from brawl
Fourth row #6 = Magicant theory for now
Firth row #3 = looks like pictochat.


EDIT: Im to slooooooow

 

[Vampirolol]

You teamreals should at least consider the update as something like: "that leak is a treasure chest but beware from false copies". Do I have to teach you everything?

Add me to #Teamfake please!

 

[BuggyDClown]

See they are different thickness.

Holy fuck. Will you people at least respond to what are saying. Stop just quoting that photo. If you're going to find an inconsistency look at your own.

That image does not have the player selection hand on the CPU character. Therefor we do not know if thats the case here.

 

[BGBW]

#TeamReal. DHD and Bowser Jr is going to be awesome.

You mean DH. Honestly, that stupid name alone sealed the deal for me.

 

[AZCards]

Why would it matter if it's on the CPU character? It's on the Player character and it's a different thickness. I guess I should have erased the "Same Size" circle.

 

[Durden77]

Can anyone find a video/pic of someone selecting a CPU character? If so we can lock this down.

 

[Mysterious]

You know what makes this more believable? The character screen has enough room for exactly 5 characters. The leak also has exactly 5 DLC characters, to complete the screen.

 

[civilstrife]

Didn't even notice Dark Pit on that roster until now lol


Also... I think I'm slowly converting to team real...

Although I'm still hoping for fake because fuck Dr. Mario.

 

[BuggyDClown]

You mean DH. Honestly, that stupid name alone sealed the deal for me.

I would have and many did say the same about Ness, Ice Climbers, Game & Watch, R.O.B, Wii Fit Trainer Ect...

Why would it matter if it's on the CPU character? It's on the Player character and it's a different thickness. I guess I should have erased the "Same Size" circle.

What? The player character in the leak and the end kirby both have the thicker lines. In that image Kirby also has the selection hand over that CPU, so it can be assumed that slot is being highlighted/animating giving it the equivalent thicker line.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

Is Mr. Game and Watch's hand overlapping Wario?

 

[AZCards]

We are saying the same thing. No worries man.

That image does not have the player selection hand on the CPU character. Therefor we do not know if thats the case here.

So you're suggesting the window/outline of the character selection changes just because the hand is over it? I mean I can't say its impossible but that certainly strikes me as unlikely and a weird thing to program (though minor) into the game.

You mean DH. Honestly, that stupid name alone sealed the deal for me.

Considering there is enough room for space like "Wii Fit Trainer", yeah I'm inclined to agree that is very weird

 

[Kyou]

What? The player character in the leak and the end kirby both have the thicker lines. In that image Kirby also has the selection hand over that CPU, so it can be assumed that slot is being highlighted/animating giving it the equivalent thicker line.

But it's one player with three CPUs

who is the other hand if two characters are unselected

 

[Boss Doggie]

Look at Megaman's line, it's thicker. He has his cursor on Megaman just like the Kirby pic.

But there was no cursor on the Kirby pic yet it's thick.

Why would it matter if it's on the CPU character? It's on the Player character and it's a different thickness. I guess I should have erased the "Same Size" circle.

because the CPU has a thick line inconsistent with the rest in the leak pic

mind you, we're on the same idea that the pic is probably fake

 

[Dimitri LH]

Well....to the juniors who got killed in the fan fic. You got some action time in this chapter! small time but good.

 

[SenorArdilla]

You mean DH. Honestly, that stupid name alone sealed the deal for me.

"I'm picking Duck Hunt!"
"Well, I'm picking Super Mario!"
"I'm Kirby!"
"All of you are going to lose against my Legend of Zelda!"

Well....to the juniors who got killed in the fan fic. You got some action time in this chapter! small time but good.

Didn't Hot Coldman get killed during Heath's drug-induced rage?

 

[Game Guru]

That's only what Sakurai wants us to think.

 

[BGBW]

All those names make sense. Duck Hunt as a name makes no sense. They are [Duck Hunt] Dog and Ducks. The fact you even used the initials for Duck Hunt Dog shows that even you find just Duck Hunt as a name odd.

Is Mr. Game and Watch's hand overlapping Wario?

Optical illusion. It's Wario's shoulder.

 

[TomShoe]

Why is Wario missing a pupil in the character select?

#TeamFake, though I wouldn't mind if this was real. Ugh at ROB returning and Squirtle getting cut, but I'd be OK with Duck Hunt Dog, Dr. Mario, & Bowser Jr.

Spoiler

and no ridley

 

[Neiteio]

Can I just say I love you for being the first person I've ever seen on NeoGAF (and many other places online, actually) to use "myriad" correctly? I mean, I know you're a professional writer, but even a lot of writers get that wrong.

Thanks.

 

[BuggyDClown]

We are saying the same thing. No worries man.

I see now, you at the top of the page confused me. Thought you meant the opposite.

It's just the worst argument as to why it's fake lol

 

[MrSaturn99]

I just realized the stage list doesn't have a S643DS stage.

If it's real...god I was so looking forward to that :'(

 

[Storm Kyleis]

...

 

[OricWindstar]

Gotta say, I'd be totally happy with Magicant being the Mother stage on 3DS.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Didn't Hot Coldman get killed during Heath's drug-induced rage?

Spoiler

He got revived by heath, not gonna explain how.

 

[BuggyDClown]

But it's one player with three CPUs

who is the other hand if two characters are unselected

It's possible the player is always highlighted.

So you're suggesting the window/outline of the character selection changes just because the hand is over it? I mean I can't say its impossible but that certainly strikes me as unlikely and a weird thing to program (though minor) into the game.

Considering there is enough room for space like "Wii Fit Trainer", yeah I'm inclined to agree that is very weird

Yes I am, there are many small flushes and animations and strange designs we can spot in the series and past games. Far more than line thickness.

All those names make sense. Duck Hunt as a name makes no sense. They are [Duck Hunt] Dog and Ducks. The fact you even used the initials for Duck Hunt Dog shows that even you find just Duck Hunt as a name odd.

Eh, I just have heard enough rumors with the name Duck hunt Dog now that it sounds natural to me. I can't say it really sounds weird for any other reason than it's not the way we have been saying and reading it on here for months with these rumors.

 

[Mysterious]

So basically the next character reveal will either confirm or deconfirm the list. Yay

 

[greycolumbus]

I just want that Duck Hunt render.

 

[Pikma]

Well....to the juniors who got killed in the fan fic. You got some action time in this chapter! small time but good.

Yeah, at least they got to be in

You teamreals should at least consider the update as something like: "that leak is a treasure chest but beware from false copies". Do I have to teach you everything?

Add me to #Teamfake please!

Oh wow why didn't I see this earlier? #DoubleTeamFake

 

[MisterWisp]

Well....to the juniors who got killed in the fan fic. You got some action time in this chapter! small time but good.

NO way! I made some silly post a few days ago like: "I wanna come back as a spooky ghosty."

I can believe I'm typing this...
but thank you mysterious fan-fic writer for listening to me!

 

[JediLink]

Let me make clear what I'm on #TeamReal for. I believe that Duck Hunt Dog, Bowser Jr, Dark Pit, Doctor Mario and Shulk are in the game, as shown in these pictures:

I believe that these are all 100% real. However, everything else that surfaced afterwards may or may not be fakes piggybacking off the real leak. That crappy picture on Yoshi's Island with Shulk punching, for example, is fake.

I'm also not convinced that the DLC claim is legit. I haven't seen the original 4chan archive, but I'm assuming the leak comment was separate, meaning it could have easily been an imposter.

Are you Team Real for this? If so, while the for life bit is obviously exaggeration, I'm willing to take that bet.

Not an exaggeration. Whoever loses has to keep their new avatar not just until the Wii U version comes out, not just until Smash 5, but for the rest of their life. You sure you want to do this?

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Now that pic of the day is out, here's one more update for today. Gotta go focus and actually get some work done after this.

#teamfake all the way.

 

[Vampirolol]

You mean DH. Honestly, that stupid name alone sealed the deal for me.

"The Dog" would have been better. To me the artwork is another deal. Why would you make it look like a plush when the dog should look like a maddafuckin bastard using Sakurai logic? And Shulk looks off.
But there are 3 million things that make this look like fake to me.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

...

Ike in Brawl punched and kicked before using his sword. Still #Teamfake though it is possible as a neutral A combo.

 

[SoulUnison]

All those names make sense. Duck Hunt as a name makes no sense. They are [Duck Hunt] Dog and Ducks. The fact you even used the initials for Duck Hunt Dog shows that even you find just Duck Hunt as a name odd.

It's probably like Ice Climbers. In Japan their name is "Ice Climber" even though there's two of them.
It'd probably be "Duck Hunt" in Japan and "Duck Hunter" or something similar in NA.

That is, if the leak is real. I'm so on the fence I'm getting ass splinters.

 

[Neiteio]

From Chapter 8 of the fanfic:

I always wondered why I had such motherly affection for Toxi

 

[nerdbot]

I'm still worried that my main(s) Ice Climbers haven't been revealed yet. I can't imagine Sakurai leaving out a character that was included in both Melee AND Brawl. I suppose there's Ness, as well, who was in all three games.

edit: which is why I'm declaring Team Fake (I have a vendetta against hashtags). No Ice Climbers = can't be real.

They're saving the Ice Climbers for the reveal trailer for a retro character. I know it in my heart

This.

I don't think anyone here is including those new photos from Gamefaqs especially the blurry one to be confused with #TeamReal. If you are go back and catchup. They are not from the same source.

 

[Crocodile]

Can someone explain a good rationale why moving veterans from the previous installment of a game make good choices as DLC characters? Since fewer people buy the DLC than will have/buy the full game, you usually want to make the DLC enticing. Totally new characters like Chorus Men or a veteran from a while back like Mewtwo or even Dr. Mario make some sense. Ice Climbers as DLC? I can't figure out the rationale for that.

 

[sappyday]

That Dr.Mario model looks awfully good for it to be fake.

 

[Dimitri LH]

From Chapter 8 of the fanfic:

All I picture is that old moe blushing spider avatar toxi used to have, wearing 8 boots....

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I'm also not convinced that the DLC claim is legit. I haven't seen the original 4chan archive, but I'm assuming the leak comment was separate, meaning it could have easily been an imposter.

The last few parts of this leak (the big shot which has both the full roster and the lower screen's icons for Bowser/Jr./Kirby/Pikachu) were made by the same trip username "MOTHERFUCKING LEAKER" or whatever who then said what the DLC was. They're the same person.

Maybe it's free DLC?

 

[CrazedProfessional]

If there is DLC it will be via Amiibo, not the eShop.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

The fact that we cannot (yet?) figure out where the renders are from puzzles me the most. This is the internet though, so these could have been fabricated - but if they are, then it is incredibly well done.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Ike in Brawl punched and kicked before using his sword. Still #Teamfake though it is possible as a neutral A combo.

Yeah, but it looks terrible. Shulk's hand is a white outlined circle, while everything else doesn't have outlines.

 

[Pikma]

I'm off to sleep now Smashbros, please don't open the door to any more "leaks" while I'm away, I repeat, don't open the door.
