Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XIII: Leak Dynasty

Status
Not open for further replies.
To be honest when I saw proposed ideas for Duck Hunt Dog's moveset he was always working with ducks. It's kind of obvious.
Can't believe that if the leak is real, they kept the three most interesting characters to me for last to reveal (Shulk, Bowser Jr. and Duck Hunt).
I'm really starting to hope it's true.
 
All of his posts were jokes, though (he literally announced he was "breaking character" for one post this morning.) The problem was, people took him seriously and believed his plainly absurd claims. I thought he was a lot of fun.
I don't know, to me there's not a whole lot funny about stuff like the Ice Climbers thing. Like, yeah, it turns out you were lying...hilarious. I know this all about a video game and not that serious, but wouldn't it have bothered you if someone led you to believe Paper Mario was playable, and then pull the rug from under your feet all for a laugh? This just my opinion, of course, I haven't been around here long enough to have a full opinion on the guy.
 
Experience tells me the majority of this thread doesn't see things that way.
Those posters are just:

'sup, SmashGAF. Did I miss anything in the past 40 minu-
I know what I must do...

Those locks of hair, dreamy.

Some creepy Disney gifs
I'm not sure if we upgraded from creepy fan art or went in a horribly different direction altogether.

I like Dark Pit - but I like clones in general - and I don't think he's a symptom of over-representation for Kid Icarus. 2.5 characters isn't some huge travesty. The obscene number of Smash Run enemies is a bigger deal, but I can forgive that - they must be REALLY easy to port over from Uprising. The fact it has so many new ITEMS, though? That's a bit much for my tastes.

Duck Hunt is a random choice but a big deal in America for obvious reasons and not out of character when you consider the Ice Climbers. And ROB in particular - he didn't show up at all, anywhere, in Melee, had a wink-and-a-nod in a few games, and was playable in Mario Kart DS. I don't think that Duck Hunt is too far behind him as far as obscurity goes.

Hatsune Miku, for me, is an interesting choice, because she's in a super grey area. She originated in software... does that count as a game? She's a "computer entertainment" character with a strong video game presence, and is stupid popular in Japan (hell, most of the world at this point). I'd be in favor of her just because it would piss so many people off.
I have no opinion on Dark Pit. It would be kind of cool to see Duck Hunt Dog playable and what kind of moves Sakurai give it.
And yes, this thread would burn down in a fireball of bans the moment Miku is ever announced with what people will say.
 
My opinion has changed of you, I never thought you had put thousands of hours into brawl and that you had liked the game, guess you wasent 100% serious with your previous posts about brawl in the past that made me think you was singleminded when it came the series.
I think with most of us that were disappointed by Brawl, it wasn't for lack of trying.

I remember at one point being disappointed (shortly after Brawl release) when my friends wanted to go back to Melee.
 
So when Brawl came out, the following newcomers were hidden:

- Lucario
- Wolf
- ROB
- Toon Link

Right now, the following newcomers are unrevealed, if the leak is true:

- Shulk
- Bowser Jr.
- Duck Hunt
- Dark Pit

Nice symmetry, with three all-original newcomers and one clone.

Also nice to see some non-humanoids in the form of Bowser Jr. and Duck Hunt.

No K. Rool or Ridley?

I expect at least one more to get revealed before release though. Maybe even two.
 
One thing I can GARANTEE to you is that Snake will NOT be dlc.

Not even Super Smash Third Party Sony Characters had a third party dlc.

Abe from Oddworld would've gotten in, too, with the King of All Cosmos considered for DLC down the road, if Sony Santa Monica hadn't killed DLC for the game... There were only 2 sets of DLC, and they wanted to promote Warhawk/the Vita, so Emmett Graves & Kat from Gravity Rush got the first 2 spots locked. I guarantee you that, had this gone on, we would've seen even more 3rd Parties... Maybe even including Crash.

So, anyway... Did you guys really talk about what your ideal Smash families were last night? Honestly, I'm grateful all EmCee did was lock the thread... But music's a great update, and I see the 3DS having Gear Getaway & Kongo Jungle as DK songs as a knock against the leak, so I got my wish there, even if it's more like a rock was thrown at it than a true deconfirm. Plus, I was wondering how Smash Run music was going to work!

But yeah... How about next time when we're waiting and can't think of any relevant topics barring Smash families, we just...

?

This is coming from a guy that got a whiteboard together and debated with 3 friends which Smash characters were and weren't virgins at, like, 3:30 in the morning once.
 
Seems like everyone's on #teamreal now. Did we get some new information?

Regarding Afoni. The avatar being gone doesn't necessarily mean permaban - not sure if that's what you guys are running off of.
 
Dammit, multiple people quoted me before I could fix my typo :-(

So sleepy right now, it's as though I stayed up until some obscene hour for an update that neither confirmed nor denied the leak

I expect Dark Pit to be a part of another character's trailer like Lucina. Unless he was intended to be revealed in Palutena's and they changed their minds.

He was already on thin ice last time he was banned lol.

Yeah, it was pretty crazy. I attributed to the madness, but I tried to get things back on track with Smash talk toward the end of it. Unfortunately, there was no stopping the train. EmCee made the right call.
 
That menu in the first leak just looks so good. Too good. Good enough that it's more likely an actual leak than a fake. I just wanted Ridley and Mewtwo :( #purplecharcters5eva

Looks fake as hell to me.

Honestly, the final CSS will probably be better designed.
 
I don't know, to me there's not a whole lot funny about stuff like the Ice Climbers thing. Like, yeah, it turns out you were lying...hilarious. I know this all about a video game and not that serious, but wouldn't it have bothered you if someone led you to believe Paper Mario was playable, and then pull the rug from under your feet all for a laugh? This just my opinion, of course, I haven't been around here long enough to have a full opinion on the guy.

Ordinarily, yes, I'd be annoyed (though since that's something so trivial, I hope I'd be able to laugh at myself for getting suckered,) but if it was afoni who told me Paper Mario was playable, I wouldn't have believed him from the beginning. As a known joke poster, I think he's a special case. And I understand that those who didn't realize he posted "in character" might have been thrown for a loop by the ICs thing, but really, it was a pretty ridiculous claim on the face of it, and no one was fooled for long.

I don't know, I just think it's fine for a community like this to have one dedicated joke poster. Every court needs a jester.
 
nah he told us on IRC that it was a perm

Huh.

So, anyway... Did you guys really talk about what your ideal Smash families were last night?

...What? What does that even mean?

Did you ever write Iwata X Reggie erotic fanfiction?
 
I expect Dark Pit to be a part of another character's trailer like Lucina. Unless he was intended to be revealed in Palutena's and they changed their minds.

I feel like he won't be in any characters trailer. He was already in Palutena's trailer. I feel he will just be confirmed a newcomer/clone down the road like any returning character. Having him in two trailers seems kinda strange when they could show off other characters instead.

Now Doctor Mario on the other hand I would assume would be paired with a Bowser Jr reveal.

The whole "how old are all of you" and "which smash character would be your family member". I woke up to that and just wanted to check if the POTD was up yet before going back to sleep. And I saw all that. I laughed. And then the thread got shut down lol.

Bear in mind, if the DLC rumor from the same source is also true, the final CSS wouldn't have any black. It would be filled completely with icons. And the icons could be rearranged, as well. It'd look rather nice at that point.

Unless you have a king who executes bad jesters on sight...

You call us a court like we have any form of order here. :P

I dunno, for jokes like that, just put a "/s" mark or something, especially with all this leak business. I guess we can just agree to disagree and, again, I don't hate the guy or anything. I just find that type of action annoying.

Yeah that does make sense. I hope there's a short scene with Dr.Mario interacting with Mario haha.

Edit: Or maybe Mario switching to his Doctor outfit? Depends if Sakurai sees them as two separate people

Haha, yeah, it got pretty silly. I kept interjecting some Smash questions and people would answer them, but we'd immediately go back to "AaAAaaaH where is it!!!?!" I'm just as guilty as everyone else, though.

Normal Smash questions are too boring to derail a creepy thread. Try arguing that your favourite anime character is a better character pick than Duck Hunt Dog instead.
 
Wait, people seriously think that Duck Hunt Dog & Bird is going to be a character?
I thought all those leaks were fake, but I'm ready to eat crow.

I wouldn't mind DHD being a character at all. It's Dark Pit that I had a problem with.

This basically describes how I felt when I saw the leak RIGHT up until I noticed Dark Pit.

For a time I thought I was missing out on PoTD kneejerk reactions.

I see now that I was actually saved from something horrible by setting a sleep schedule.
 
I never said I thought the rumor was fake, between the version of this rumor on Smash Boards a few weeks ago and now these images I'm afraid it may very well be real and it bothers me because the Dog is truly the first time I've ever felt a character does NOT belong in Smash Bros. It's not about if he'd be a fun character to play or not he simply does not deserve to be in Smash Bros and I'm afraid he will be.

Lucky for you. It's highly likely to be fake anyway. Everything behind the situation is just fishy as heck.
 
Oh, afoni got permabanned? What a surprise, and what a shame. I'm sure going to miss their snide comments and trolling!


My third-most anticipated game of the year - behind Smash and Theatrhythm Curtain Call - is Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd. :P

So when Brawl came out, the following newcomers were hidden:

- Lucario
- Wolf
- ROB
- Toon Link

Right now, the following newcomers are unrevealed, if the leak is true:

- Shulk
- Bowser Jr.
- Duck Hunt
- Dark Pit

Nice symmetry, with three all-original newcomers and one clone.

Also nice to see some non-humanoids in the form of Bowser Jr. and Duck Hunt.

Don't forget Chorus Kids, if the DLC part of the leak is real!
