I have NO IDEA what the fuck is going on with these leaks anymore.

 

[Green Mamba]

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.

According to his response to Heath he didn't "forge" anything but then one line later he claims people believe the leak is fake because of him. I have no idea what he's trying to say.

 

[Vuapol]

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

So...what's the deal with Pyrosphere?

Some people said some stuff that may or may not be true. That's my current understanding of the situation.

It's not even a sphere, man, I just don't understand anything anymore.

 

[Toxi]

So...what's the deal with Pyrosphere?

It's a really dumb stage choice even if we're restricting the choices to Other M. I would have preferred the tree hollow where you fight King Ki-Hunter, or (If we have to go with lava) the top of that volcano.

 

[Jintor]

I just flew in from Pyrosphere, and boy are my arms tired!

So...what's the deal with Pyrosphere?

If anyone had any doubts Ridley isn't playable and a boss of Pyrosphere, that Nintendo Dream magazine talked a bit about...

The land here is surrounded by lava. A floating main stage and a few small platforms makes it look like a simple stage, but it was reported that the shadow of a huge [something/being] was seen here...?

- Translation from Reddit

So yea... very heavily implies Ridley is a boss on Pyrosphere. Which is kind of sad, since the level would probably be tournament legal and fairly popular without an annoying boss spawning every 10 seconds.

Hopefully they can patch no-boss mode in, as it seems to be destroying perfectly good levels with cheap gimmicks.

If I had to chose a stage from Other M I would have picked one of the environments that could switch between industrial and natural facades. That was pretty much the only interesting idea the art people had in that game.

Fixed

 

[L Thammy]

Talking seriously about stages, the Wii U version stages are all so plain. I understand that the Wii U version is supposed to be the serious business version but come on.

 

[zroid]

Jintor is Ridley

 

[PadWarrior]

No ride from Ridley?

 

[SmithnCo]

I dunno, Pyrosphere might be the most memorable part of the game. Despite the fact that it's a stupid lava level and has no interesting feature besides the fact that Ridley shows up there.

 

[Toxi]

Come to think of it, that's a more interesting idea. You could even have it switch between the three different types of natural environments (Jungle, ice-cap, and lava).

So a quote referencing the Nintendo Direct from months go is news to you?

No, but someone brought up Pyrosphere and there was some minor information about Ridley, so I thought I'd mention it.

No need to be a jerk about it.

 

[L Thammy]

Jintor is Ridley

They both have the letters R and I. Coincidence!? I think not!

 

[Vuapol]

Haven't played much Metroid, but I'm sure there are some pretty cool possible stages that aren't a dark lava-filled cavern. It'd be nice if Sakurai went for a bit more variety.

Spoiler

For the record, I know very much what is up with Pyrosphere. Twas only a joke, as the only thing SmashGAF is tired of talking about more than this leak is Ridley. :^P

Information given doesn't mean anything.

 

[Popnbake]

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.

MASTERLINKX is a smashboards mod?

 

[Benzychenz]

Why do you guys always post every little Smashboards 'leak' here. They have no more credibility than random GameFAQs posts.

Sounds like you have a lot of good games yet to play.

Isn't he? He has a big banner or whatever. I don't know how Smashboards works.

This is easily my #1 worry with this game at the moment.

I would actually enjoy Wiley's Castle if it weren't for the Yellow Devil. I'm worried that there won't be an option to disable bosses, and that invasive stage bosses will "ruin" otherwise perfectly enjoyable stages.

 

[Popnbake]

I don't think so. They should have Moderator under the username.

*edit: The username isn't listed on the Staff members page so unless I missed something, the one from your post isn't a mod.

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?

I get what you mean by that. He's obviously not a clone, but more of a replacement. An alternative to Marth with stronger attacks.

Final Destination variants are kind of like that option.

Just simply letting you hold r or something while picking the level to play without bosses would be so great. Yellow Devil spawns waaayyyy too often. In a 3 minute game he spawns like 5 times.

 

[Game Guru]

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?

Well, the Pac-Man reveal has set up the perfect brick joke for a possible trailer for Duck Hunt where the Dog points out to Mr. Game & Watch and Pac-Man that the Duck is the oldest character in Smash Bros while the Dog laughs.

 

[Cse]

Not really. If I wanted to play FD, I would play FD. The FD version of stages is just that - reskinned versions of FD to break up the monotony.

I don't have a problem with stage hazards in general, and I want to be able to fully enjoy some of the dynamic elements, platforms, etc, that these stages will have to offer....without a boss appearing every 15 seconds and ruining the core aspect of the game.

 

[Cse]

It was ridiculous. No one at my Best Buy event wanted to play Wiley's Castle primarily because of the presence of the Yellow Devil. Not only did he spawn far too frequently, but he is nearly impossible to avoid.

Simply put, there needs to be a switch in the options menu to disable stage bosses.

man, signatures...

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

you ask why the mods of smashboards would so something like that, its because smashboards is filled with idiots.


me being one of them.

Thank fuck GAF doesn't allow sigs.

Yeah, I have quite a bit on the backlog. Still have to get around to playing a Metroid, Star Fox and Fire Emblem just to name a few. Some day...

 

[RomanceDawn]

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.

I know I'm late but this is some fascinating trivia! Thank you for this post!

 

[OricWindstar]

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.

I'm with you on that. Until something new develops, I'm pretty over the leak talks.

 

[Nickle]

SmashGAF -"Who are you"?

SmashBoards Mod- "Why, I'm the leaker"

SmashGAF-"What kind of fool do you take me for? Sal's the leaker, 4Chan's the leaker, I'm the leaker! Are there any other leakers I should know about?"

Afoni- "Meow"

Sorry, rabbits don't make distinctive sounds.

This is something I appreciate about the site.

It looks so much cleaner as a result.

Oh yeah, I guess I haven't really thought about it, but that is really nice.

While I like that GAF doesn't allow them, it kinda makes me sad. I used to make them.

First time following a Smash release heavily on the internet in the final weeks. Didn't realize Smash Drama was a thing.

 

[Masked Man]

Sorry for being so late! I was out all day with friends yesterday. I actually bought my own copy of Nintendo Dream, so I'll go through and type up a list of anything that strikes me as new or interesting!

Quas-Quas finally released wallpaper version of his work!

http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/234/e/e/wallpaper_by_quas_quas-d7w7gbe.png

Looks beautiful! <3

Finished playing Mother 3 for the first time last night and OH MAN am I all over the Masked Man appearing now. The gun, the sword, the PK blasts...

Spoiler

imagine him with an unmasked Claus alt!

At this point I'm just hoping he shows up as an Assist Trophy or, hell, even as a Trophy. With so many "Lucas is cut!" rumors swirling though that's starting to look doubtful.

Such an amazing game oh my god wow. And like 95% of it didn't even get a mention in Brawl. Unjust!

Isn't he the best!? It's such a shame that the game doesn't get more love or publicity because it deserves both in spades. It's even more unfortunate that, given this most recent set of leaks, he may never even get within several miles of the playable roster, but we fans can dream!

Alternate explanation: The screenshot of Shulk was faked using Ike in Brawl.

it's all about that plus membership now
