Support NeoGAF

[TheUnsane1]

If the list we have is final I'm pretty ok with it. The only big wants I have still are super left field not gonna happen stuff.

Ravio from A Link between worlds, Nabbit from nsmb, Some NES Pro Wrestling character (curious how a grappler in ssb might work), and Isaac from golden sun.

 

[CassSept]

Oh man. Shulk's placement in the leak roster... is really close to the clone corner (if you shift the clones down a row).

What... if he *IS* an Ike clone?

It would totally explain the punching!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHH

Also, if you add wolf next to falco, the whole row becomes ALL ANIMALS.[/QUOTE]

Then I think I'd be the first one to propose it based on roster selection screen and that's literally impossible since I never made a correct Smash prediction ;/

 

[Myn]

Why does one of the images have "Smash" haphazardly slapped onto the game play anyway

In the E3 builds of the 3DS version they had the name of the gameplay mode on the top of the screen in white text.

Nabbit has already shown up in Smash.

I'm pretty sure Afoni was #TeamFake. (S)he was pointing out flaws in it, and said it was false.

OK, so is what his tag says true? That if he's ever wrong about any claims then he gets banned? Where's he been?!?

 

[IntelliHeath]

He already got banned for 6 months. He just came back few weeks ago.

 

[BGBW]

Details we know of but haven't had much info about:

• 3DS-Wii U connectivity
• RIdley the "other boss character appearances"
• Online - we know that there's more behind the For Fun and For Glory selection but not exactly what
• That dropping block game
• The spinning tops game
• Pokemon XY Elite 4 Wii U stage

Agreed on the whole Grapplers front; it's why I wanted Hawlucha until I realized Greninja killed its chances (I'm pre-emptively maining Hawlucha in Pokken as a result, though! As a Fighting-Type Fighting Game and the best/most popular choice for a Grappler, I highly doubt it's missing out.)

And by list, are we counting the sketchy-but-still-there Brawl Board stuff? Because add that and the rumored DLC, and even though I'm missing out on Wonder Red, K. Rool, & Bomberman/Bayonetta, and I'd be fine. The stage selection, on the other hand, looks abysmal based on that leak; I doubt we're only missing more Classic Stages (With some making a 3rd/4th appearance), a retro Big Blue, Magicant, and whatever the Gear one's supposed to be.

 

[Mysterious]

I think it's saying he can't be like, "Oh I know the Smash roster, and it's definitely fake. But I can't say no more guyz, plz trust me!!!"

 

[Revven]

Didn't that also say all the koopa kids would be his alt costumes? I still don't trust text-based leaks but that would be really cool if they could figure out how to not mess with hitboxes when doing that.

Bowser Jr is basically short and bald, and the other Koopalings get into 'tall' and 'lots of hair' territory.

For the record, lots of characters in Smash don't have hurtboxes that completely match up with their model. Let me pull one out real quick...

As you can see, there's quite a bit of the hurtbox extending past Yoshi's eyes and the nose hurtbox isn't as big as his nose. His hands don't have hurtboxes either. And his shoes also, for the most part, don't have a hurtbox.

These hurtboxes were generated with BrawlBox and someone overlayed them on Yoshi, BTW.

There are some other examples I could probably find. Like, did you know that DK's torso hurtbox extends past where his chest is? Some people call that the tie hurtbox because of that.

It doesn't matter if there's a slight sliver of area that lacks a hurtbox, you're not going to notice it in-game 99% of the time. Did you think Yoshi's nose was exactly the size of the hurtbox before the above image was posted? You probably did. Likewise for this hands and shoes, both of which are visible parts of his body that extend out during animations and etc.

 

[Camjo-Z]

I bet if Bowser Jr. has alts, they'll be different wacky hairstyles and accessories based on the Koopalings rather than entire model swaps.

Wendy - Pink bow
Larry - Blue mohawk
Morton - Painted head and tuft of hair
Roy - Sunglasses
Iggy - Green... sprout hair?
Ludwig - Blue 'do
Lemmy - Rainbow mohawk

 

[TheUnsane1]

Nabbit has already shown up in Smash.

But playable? I feel like he could be interesting.

That sounds like just enough for a 20 minute direct...

HMMMMMMMM

Wouldn't be that hard to do a model swap especially when hd assets for them largely exist already thanks to NSMBU

 

[emb]

Only if the claims are stated as if afoni has insider knowledge. Having an opinion isn't a problem, but stringing people along as if you actually know something is an issue.

I thought they already explained block game. Maybe not then.

I imagine that we wouldn't know a lot of Wii u features and stages until after 3DS release.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Just copy-pasting and then cleaning them up for rigging?

Also during the Smash Direct Sakurai said that "Assist Trophies figure into all star mode so I would like to put in as many as possible."

He hasn't really mentioned that since then.

 

[Scooter155]

Aw shucks, I was hoping his absence was proof the leak was real.

 

[BassForever]

Also during the Smash Direct Sakurai said that "Assist Trophies figure into all star mode so I would like to put in as many as possible."

He hasn't really mentioned that since then.

I thought we had concluded that was a poor localization?

 

[Sketch_Turntable]

So we've come to the conclusion that Shulk is an Ike clone, Ridley is a Charizard clone and Impa is a Greninja clone?

 

[Neoxon]

At this point, if Sakurai won't be ramping up the character reveals then we probably won't see any more characters until launch when the full roster is revealed.

I'm afraid that might be the case.

 

[Mysterious]

Sakurai has confirmed that if Ridley makes it in he's going to be a secret for when the final game is out.

Is this true?

 

[georly]

I thought we had concluded that was a poor localization?

Yup. I believe in japan they refer to smash bros as an 'all-star' battle, which is what he was referring to.

 

[Ahnez]

Last PotD before 3DS release

-Sakurai shows a submenu with a Spotpass option. "The game will also support Spotpass functions"-

Last PotD before WiiU release

"BTW, Wii U will also have Spotpass, like the 3DS"

Spoiler

lol

 

[SuperSah]

In the E3 builds of the 3DS version they had the name of the gameplay mode on the top of the screen in white text.

Not in the demo I played.

 

[SmithnCo]

Sheik is basically a Snake clone because she has grenades

 

[BGBW]

Also during the Smash Direct Sakurai said that "Assist Trophies figure into all star mode so I would like to put in as many as possible."

He hasn't really mentioned that since then.

Some people said that was a mistranslation and really meant to make the game an all-star experience. I left it out because of that uncertainty. Classic mode's info was just added to the website with no special PotD (well it came with Meta Knight, but you know what I mean) or direct so All-Star could end up the same.

I thought they already explained block game. Maybe not then.

If they did then I have a bad memory.

 

[PadWarrior]

It could work if true

 

[emb]

Is this true?

No. Afoni is just one of us.

Through me for a loop momentarily there, going back to the old thread lol.

Unless that information is just extrapolated somehow from that old Nintendo Power interview? That's the only time I remember Sakurai commenting on Ridley directly. "He might have to be pretty slow. Is that ok?" etc.

 

[mrhej]

I thought we had concluded that was a poor localization?

Oh was it? Never mind then I didn't know.

 

[Camjo-Z]

Wouldn't be that hard to do a model swap especially when hd assets for them largely exist already thanks to NSMBU

But wouldn't that make it weird to have Bowser Jr.'s voice clips while you're playing as a different character?

 

[Scooter155]

Just copy-pasting and then cleaning them up for rigging?

You'd think so, yeah. And if the character's always inside a vehicle it'd be even easier.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Sheik is basically a Snake clone because she has grenades

That makes Sheik a clone of a clone.

 

[afoni]

i can't believe you guys are still falling for that shit without me having even said anything of the sort for 6 months

this is modern day smashgaf

 

[BGBW]

But the dream of a Wario Ware/Rhythm Tengoku crossover reveal trailer...

 

[emb]

That makes Sheik a clone of a clone.

Furthermore, Sheik has grenades too. That makes Sheik a clone of Sheik, who is a clone of a clone.

 

[Mysterious]

But wouldn't that make it weird to have Bowser Jr.'s voice clips while you're playing as a different character?

They could simply change the voice clips. Like male and female Robin. Or male and female Wii Fit trainer.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Prediction for tomorrow: Wario!

Failing that, some more of N's castle.

 

[Diprosalic]

The "doesn't care" option.

i would assume people like that wouldn't vote anyway.

 

[MisterWisp]

I thought they already explained block game. Maybe not then.

I imagine that we wouldn't know a lot of Wii u features and stages until after 3DS release.

Yea, Sakurai barely explained it. I wouldn't mind learning more about it after he starts revealing stuff that makes or breaks the leak.

 

[BassForever]

I'm afraid that might be the case.

Except we already know there is at least 1-2 more newcomer trailers to show which I assume would be before launch

 

[Ahnez]

I thought we had concluded that was a poor localization?

Yep, just a case of too literal translation..

 

[TheBlackAdept]

In the E3 builds of the 3DS version they had the name of the gameplay mode on the top of the screen in white text.

Yeah, that wasn't in any of the E3 demos I played either. Where are people seeing that?

 

[BGBW]

But wouldn't that make it weird to have Bowser Jr.'s voice clips while you're playing as a different character?

Sakurai has said alts can have unique voice clips. It's only when their attack properties change that they become a clone. This was explained when Lucina was revealed.

 

[Scooter155]

i can't believe you guys are still falling for that shit without me having even said anything of the sort for 6 months

Sorry bunny-bro, but that irritates me, when people lie and then make fun of people for believing the lie.

"Huh huh, you seriously bought that? Dude, can't believe you fell for that shit."

-_-

I thought he was referring to a Sakurai interview, but I couldn't find it on Google.

 

[The Bankslammer]

here's a dumb wordy post i made about that

 

[Neiteio]

Any updates on the leaks? Been out all day.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

It's gonna suck being the lowest tier character in a roster around 50 characters big.
