"I altered the picture so one word was intentionally misspelled to throw everyone off track and create contradictions because of reasons," said no sane person ever. What the fuck is going on over at SmashBoards.

Is it any more ridiculous than 'I added the DLC leak to weed out any fakers!'?

For those poor souls who may have missed it. An excellent remixed version of the OoT Hyrule Field theme from an old Nintendo Album. It would fit perfectly into either of the 3DS Zelda stages, IMO.

I'd love to see Smashing Live incorporated into the soundtrack.

Brings a tear to my eye

 

[PadWarrior]

I was sure they hit the molten iron core by now.

I know lol.

Kind of, because the images haven't been debunked at all.

 

[Fandangox]

Does he ever not use a mainly non-sword based fighting style in Xenoblade?

No, but he can switch between his regular arts and his Monado arts, that one could consider being "stances" His regular arts are combat oriented, mostly for attacking the enemy, and giving them debuffs that you have to connect with your allies to make them work.

His monado arts make him buff himself and his party (and sometimes debuffs the enemies) and a couple of attack arts too.

That and the miniboss theme are the only two songs worth anything in that album.

Fun fact: if Duck Hunt is playable then that would technically be the oldest IP in Smash Bros. It's not exactly a "video game" so it probably doesn't count, but it's not something a lot of people know about.

Does this discredit the leak because Sakurai said the oldest is TV Game

 

[Green Mamba]

Seriously, MASTERLINKX's SmashBoards post is the ramblings of a madman.

Very interesting. I had no idea. Thanks for sharing.

I'm staying away from Smashboards as a whole right now. It's a mess. Everything else besides the original leak is just people dogpiling on imo.

Interesting. I would love a stance character like some of the Soul Calibur characters, so hopefully this is implemented in some way.

Basically a Smashboards moderator is saying that the images are real, but he modified them on purpose to look more fake, to protect whoever he had gotten the images from.

He wanted to throw people off the trail and prevent the leak from spreading, like some sort of damage control, but it didn't work so he gave up.

And he says he has more images, that there are more characters not shown in the CSS pictures, but he won't post anything because ??????????

He just wants attention, ignore him and his crazy person bullshit. Smashboards is a bad place.

I don't know why anyone believes anything from SmashBoards.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Add another reason to not go to Smashboards.

 

[Anth0ny]

I wanted you to know that I made it a point to bookmark these impressions because though I haven't the time to pore through it all now, I love your particular flavor of prose and your aformentioned impressions are always wildly and vividly entertaining.

Much appreciated

Maybe NES Duck Hunt is a different series as it's a gritty reimagining.

Please hurry 20 days.

So basically he just took the pics from 4chan and started editing them for shits and giggles.

Ahahaha oh my god, I always knew Smashboards had problems with its moderation team but they can't be fucking serious with this.

The decisive games section of smashboards is legit fun, the Mafia games are great.

 

[Village]

I went away to play Guacamelee Super Ultra Wraslin edition, so smash boards is going nuts apparently?

 

[IntelliHeath]

What the fuck is this shit

If he has a leak just leak the shit. Jesus Christ.

Plot Twist: He have nothing to show.

What the fuck am I reading.

Seriously, could someone explain what this is talking about? They're real but altered because of reasons? Or something?

I called him out, and he said that he didn't forge any pictures. Yeah, you might notice that MasterLinkX actually avatar quoted me at smashboard, which is bizarre. :lol I guess he want to stalking me or something since I called him out on his fake leak.

SmashBoards' members are good, but it got tainted by a barrel of bad apples unfortunately.

 

[theprodigy]

So the most interesting thing I learned from the Smash 4 cycle is that the Smash Boards mods are all seemingly teenagers and probably not smart.

This is what happens when you hire a bunch of random people to be mods over the craziest section of the site.

lol

Too many bad apples there. And those mods should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[Enforced]

MasterLinkX? is the guy who made zelda wind waker blooper long time ago? I never visit smashboards by the way.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Shulk an Ike clone?



Roy was a Marth clone. Ike is a pseudo Roy clone. Lucina is a Marth clone. Now Shulk an Ike clone? Haven't there been enough Marth clones?

 

[Toxi]

You realize that pretty quickly from being on Smashboards.

Well, they're okay in some sections, but the Smash 4 isn't one of them.

I still cannot believe this was actually a thing.

 

[KelpPlankton]

Ike is absolutely not a clone of anyone. Have you played as Ike? Dude's super unique.

That's very interesting facts since I didn't even know about that. I'm ashamed that I didn't know that part since I'm a fan of Duck Hunt NES.

I remember reading about it a long back, so it was nice to refresh my memory. If DHD gets in, I wonder if they'll reference it somehow?

 

[Sigismundo]

No. It disproves anything he's said or shown.

 

[SmithnCo]

wow

Seems he's just using the leak to get attention and pretending he knows shit.

 

[rjinaz]

Ahahaha oh my god, I always knew Smashboards had problems with its moderation team but they can't be fucking serious with this.

Yeah it's bad. The mods over that have admitted to creating fake leaks and being in communication with people inside their community that are creating fake leaks. So they don't put a stop to their users doing it and they even participate themselves. Their reasoning is that they want to "flush out the fake leakers". As a result of this "method", that community has essentially become one of if not the biggest sources of fake leaks.

The latest being the DLC list accompanied with those leaked images. The guy admits he faked it, in part just to screw with everybody but also because he was trying to stop other people from putting out fake leaks even though what he had just done assured the maximum amount of people would fall for a fake leak. Try and wrap your head around that. Every time I go over there my head hurts a little bit.

Wait, what? MasterLinkX is claiming then that "disablad" was added by someone but it definitely originally said "disabled" and we should just trust him?

This whole thing stinks of shit.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Are you saying that it's you since I know you have an account at smashboards. ;P

Not someone. He's claiming he's the one who edited it.

There's no reason to pay attention to any Smashboards moderators. They're just trying to use this as some sort of weird publicity grab and take credit for whatever gets leaked, while simultaneously chiding people for leaking things as if Nintendo is going to come by and pat them on the back for it.

It's all stupid.

 

[Vuapol]

If Sakurai could decisively settle this once and for all this time tomorrow that'd be just swell.

omfg @ bolded.

Was "the guy" confirmed to be the same 4chan leaker?

 

[L Thammy]

So basically confirmed fake? Kind of glad, honestly.
I'll kind of miss the ridiculousity of the whole thing though.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Are you saying that it's you since I know you have an account at smashboards. ;P

Spoiler

Maybe now I can be included in the fic as traitor.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

What? From what?

 

[Village]

So I am reading back , trying to figure out what happened.

So on top of all this mod buiness, the leak could be, I still believe it to be bullshit.

so..Why would the mods do that in the first place based on information that has not been proven true?

 

[rjinaz]

omfg @ bolded.

Was "the guy" confirmed to be the same 4chan leaker?

That's my understanding. In reference to the bolded. Can't say abou the 4chan leaker. Mind you, it's neary impossible to make sense out of anything going on over there regarding leaks right now.

 

[zroid]

With all the drama surrounding these leaks, I honestly feel like it's not even worth discussing anymore, regardless of their veracity.

Of course, that'll never happen.

It just makes me want to ignore it though.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I don't know why anyone believes anything from SmashBoards.

The whole leak originated from 4chan. A Smashboards mod has as much validity claiming anything as an anonymous user in /v/.

 

[KelpPlankton]

So basically confirmed fake? Kind of glad, honestly.
I'll kind of miss the ridiculousity of the whole thing though.

No, nothing is confirmed one way or the other. One of the moderators is claiming to have altered images (marked 'Leaker 3' in the big image floating around) to make them look extra fake. He's saying 'disablad' was him and on purpose.

He's full of shit. Regardless of if this is real or if this is fake, he just wants people to suck up to him and beg for more attention or whatever.

Leaker 1 and Leaker 2 stuff is unaffected. Leaker 3 stuff may have been doctored to some degree but we don't know. They could be fake altogether based on the other two leaks (about 6+ hours passed between 2 and 3). Nothing's really changed other than some guy being a dick and claiming he has more images but refuses to post them. He has nothing, I'm sure.
