Super Smash Bros for 3DS: New Characters Video LEAKED! (SPOILERS)

to me,the leakers know shit about the characters that are not unlocked in the video (if there are unlocked characters)
they just got their hands on the video and then started acting like they know something else

It's funny I posted this just before last night's POTD. Now it seems even MORE appropriate.
 
I guess so. For RP reasons I could see Lucina being a separate character anyway. Doesn't really make sense as a "costume".

But Doc is literally Mario, no reason to be separate. Guess Sakurai and the team felt differently. The funny thing is I used to main Doc in melee for awhile, and I'll probably go back to playing him.

His vitamin blast has significantly different properties from Mario's standard fireball.
 
We have a bunch of conflicting accounts that include some realistic parts.

Only believe the characters seen in the leaked screens for now.

Yeah. Both All-Star and MotherF******Leaker have shown themselves to be total trolls as well as leakers. So I don't believe anything they say that's not accompanied by evidence.
 
ESRB don't get sent copies of games though, only trailers.

The ESRB is separate from this, but I know of reviewers playing games that won't be out until a couple of months right now. Not gonna name which in the off chance I'd get someone in trouble but they've been more open with review code this gen whereas it was extremely hard for smaller publications to get access in the past.

Dr. Mario will probably have completely different properties and even then I really doubt it took much work to get him in the game. I loved using Dr. Mario in Melee so I'm probably going to go back to him too.
 
I'm still calling fake.

There are so many iffy things, probably one of the best faked leaks we've ever seen.

o.O

Think what's more likely:

Someone spent hundreds of man hours creating custom brawl mods for entirely new characters, took pictures, etc... for the lulz

or

This is leaked ESRB footage 3 weeks before release.
 
I hope Dark Pit is different enough from pit. I really don't understand why Lucina, Dark Pit, and Dr. Mario's aren't just alts. Like one move is slightly different? Also Shulk looks like he's borrowing a bunch of moves from different characters. Not sure how I feel about Bowser Jr. yet.
 
Calling fake on the vidoes and gifs? Bold statement, man. They are quite convincing.

I want this to be fake now, not because I wanna be right. Because this would be the most legendary fake out ever.

If fucking wolf is revealed tomorrow, oh my god.

Everyone would be like

"whats happening!?"

"We have a character slot to fill, but we don't have a lot of development time left"

If Wolf is revealed, that'd just suggest the CSS we've been leaked isn't complete
 
Well, shit. Guess I need to play some real-life Duck Hunt. Except with crows. Crow hunt.

Dark Pit kind of annoys me, though. Not only because he's literally just Pit with a different colour, but he really wasn't differentiated from Pit in ability, at least not in Uprising. He could fly indefinitely and that's it. Maybe it's an excuse to create a new moveset out of Pit's new weapons without throwing out the old one.

Dark Pit is Anti-Hero character, and Duck Hunt Dog's status is tricky since the hunter is villain :P

It's like a spaghetti western. The hunter's may be a bad guy, but the ducks are even worse.

We both know smash fans are certifiably insane, it certainly wouldn't be far reached to presume that a dozen so fakers got together and did precisely that.

Nintendo is taking the stuff down perhaps because their IP is being infringed upon.

How sure are you of this? Give us a percentage.
 
I'm really curious to see how Sakurai will react to this.

Probably by not reacting to this at all.

Stop embarassing yourself. Come on.
 
Since when does Nintendo take down videos of Brawl mods on the day they've been uploaded?

Since the fakers/leakers might have gotten close enough that Nintendo are feeling weary about amateurs possibly tarnishing the smash bros brand.

Nintendo doesn't take down stuff that is outright stated to be fan-made, but if you were to pretend your mod was actually the game I'm sure they would take it down asap.
 
So any word on if the Mach Rider group of leaks is real? Or at least as real as we know until they are revealed?

If the Mach Rider group is real, then I don't understand Sakurai. He said they were reaching towards the bottom of the newcomers, and yet according to these leaks we have only seen like half of them. This Smash Bros. (if all the leaks are real) seems to have an amazing roster.

It would be because nobody would sink that much time and money for a fake leak.
 
I kind of want SquiddyCracker to be right. Not because I dislike the characters in the leak - I generally don't - but because it would be the greatest plot twist.

It's okay to be in denial.

Now you're just making the rest of #TeamFake look bad.

Look man I thought we had a pretty cool boat too but ya just gotta let thing go.
