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

While I'm still proud to say I was part of #TeamFake, I'm happy about one thing that seems likely with this leak; the way it was leaked. I took my stance because I was skeptical that anyone could get their hands on it with Nintendo's glare over everything that might be given to someone else in regards to the game. But if the leaker WAS a member of NoA, then my skepticism remains true, in that it took someone from within the heart of Nintendo to grab this information.


So yeah, I'll take the meal of crow, but I take my own personal side-dish of victory as well.
 
Seriously, thinking about how Sakurai feels about this entire thing kind of bothers me. It probably really sucks having this big surprise character announcement that nobody sees coming, then this troll who works for you spills the beans to everybody.
He's cut two of my mains two games in a row, I don't care how he feels :P

I think Tumblr is that way.
 
Peach is always a blast to play as. She has just the right balance between power and combos, while having an excellent recovery. She also sports one of the best taunts with her "La lalala la-la!" Hopefully her down smash is back to Melee standards. It was too easy to escape in Brawl.
 
I saw this gif just now from one of the leaked videos. It's supposed to show off how fast Lucina is up tilting after landing with fair. That's pretty cool. But what really stands out there to me is that Shulk's downsmash isn't hitting her. What in the world? Also wow at Shulk Dsmashing that fast after getting fair'd. CC I guess.
 
Nice goin Peach! I rarely play her in Smash, but she's obviously essential and has a great moveset.

Teams.
 
Nah, plenty of choices yet

Tingle (The Legend of Zelda)
Paper Mario (Paper Mario)
King K. Rool (Donkey Kong Country)
Captain Syrup (Wario Land)
New Pokémon rep (Pokémon)
Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)
Waddle Dee (Kirby)
Dark Samus (Metroid)
New Fire Emblem rep (Fire Emblem)

Takamaru (Nazo no Murasamejo)
Mike Jones (StarTropics)
Inkling (Splatoon)

See? We're good for a couple more entries!

That's a fantastic assist trophy list you put together.

If the Impa and Ridley part is true, I can safely say I'm satisfied with the roster. Currently however, it is lacking.

My opinions are way way way different than yours. Proves why having an incredibly varied newcomer list is so important. You appeal to more people that way.

Team battle with FF off.

I wouldn't look into this match too much either, it's boosted with smash run stats.

Can you hit each other if its a team match?

Lucina is using counter me thinks.

Oh team match?
 
Oh god, I think this is like one of those wish things where you wish for something, but it goes horribly wrong and you get what you wanted, but at an unintended cost.

I wished for Doc back and Ice Climbers paid with their blood :(

Well atlease the combo aspect made it into brawl I guess lol. She struggled to get ko's when her crown slap is her main killer... ¬_¬
 
I'll probably never not be salty about how low Luigi is on this countdown
lol
but it's nice to see Peach up there. I used her pretty frequently in Brawl.

NeoZeo has nothing to do with the ESRB footage beyond what he said lining up a ton with what was shown (though other stuff like Chorus Kids/Olimar's Alph alts/etc. aren't in the ESRB footage), he's a completely different person who's a mod Smashboards who a month ago posted this info.

Treat him as a separate 'leak' like Sal's source who happens to have said a ton of things that are lining up with each other.

Got it, thanks for clearing that up.
 
I don't understand the whole anger with being spoiled with the leaks. It's only a few weeks until the game drops, and literally most of the characters were already known.

Then everytime myself or someone else brings up having content locked, most people complain and want the whole cast from the start.

So what's 3 weeks?
 
How can you be so wrong?

I mean, she's alright, but Pikachu, G&W, and Diddy are all amongst the top 10 or 5 smash characters ever made. All three of them together and then peach is above them?! NO

I guess the leak videos and remaining character discussions are what got us all hyperactive in this thread. Soon we'll need Thread XIV!

Is it weird that I always enjoy seeing that word and similar while on GAF

It's more about spoiling the surprise of potential newcomer trailers. Imagine the hype if there were never any leaks, and out of the blue we got a Bowser Jr. or DHD trailer. SmashGAF would explode. But that won't happen now. (Not that SmashGAF hasn't exploded anyway...but it would have been a bigger explosion.)
 
Dude this update is way early! I love it.
While I didn't use to like peach very much i've come to enjoy her in Project M.
She's a lot of fun there and if she get's a daisy ALT im all but certain to use her more.
That's cause there's another one coming pretty soon! We've got a tie for 14th.
 
I wonder if the WiiU sales issues caused them to rush the game and cut a bunch of stuff and have to make a bunch of clones.

Makes me wonder if they'll patch in the "lost 5" or whatever we end up calling those spaces on the CSS, if they finish them.
 
hmm hmm very well
i will take you back, even if the sting of betrayal is bitter

(...Maybe Studly Smash Men will be a team tournament)

What a guy <3 I'll be maining Little Mac, so we can be the Studly Smash Men team!

He's not a Diddy clone, lmao.
The reason other characters share moves is because their animations are near identical. Bowser Jr.'s are completely different from Diddy, so they'll have different properties and effects as well. We can already tell that his forward smash is the bullet bill thing. Up smash is a vertical launch, sure, but that alone doesn't make him a clone. Also the koopaling mechanical thingies has no merit. That was speculation.

To be fair, nothing's certain from the brief footage that we received. I thought the cannon ball attack was his neutral special, but I could be wrong. Either way, it's all still speculation. :)

Hehe browsing tumblr images, where Bowser Jr one came from, to Smash Bros came across this XD:

Th-this...this is now my new favorite thing!

BRB, going to cry my eyes out.

Likewise. I'll bring the tissues. ;______;
 
I'm surprised Peach is that low, really. I expected top 10.

Now that I think about it, I should try to guess the top 10:

1. Marth
2. Fox
3. Link
4. Sonic
5. Meta Knight
6. Falco
7. Mario
8. Ness
9. Snake
10. Kirby

Yeah.. I actually have no idea. This is harder to predict than I thought lol.
 
I just.......have to say one more thing.

There is no way I believe Snake was the sole reason why Brawl was bumped up to T. It was a combination of weird shit in that game.

I know his chances are very slim right now, but I don't accept "he would make it to T so blah blah blah ESBR" as a point for his disconfirmation at all. And some of these pictures sent to the ESRB wern't even focused on anything racey, like Mario and Lucario in classic mode.

If he needed to be looked at, so does Shiek's grenades among other things. Either way, if he's going to get in, it's probably going to have to be DLC at this point, which they probably wouldn't have access too yet anyway, but I'm just sayin.

Top 10 by use, tier, or your personal choices?
 
So I never got an answer on a previous page. Is it possible to go online with two people locally on one console and play with randoms? Like you and a friend sitting at your console and both playing For Glory mode?

I'm not angry, but some characters would've been AMAZING as surprises in trailers, like chorus men and Duck Hunt Dog. I mean Robin and Lucina had decent chances, but everyone was ultra hyped because we expected to see Shulk that day, and Chrom was supposed to be the newcomer. So imagine Bowser JR. (who people forgot after Rosalina), Duck Hunt Dog, and Chorus Men, and how nuts it would all be. So sort of sad I never got to experience that sort of surprise, but Im the one who chose to frequent smash related threads and sites, so I can't be angry
 
I'm actually surprised that it took Sakurai four games to make an Evil version of one of the characters playable considering how ubiquitous that trope is in fighting games. And how many "Dark" versions of protagonists exist in Nintendo games, too.
 
So I never got an answer on a previous page. Is it possible to go online with two people locally on one console and play with randoms? Like you and a friend sitting at your console and both playing For Glory mode?

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that there is no download play.

I was wondering about the same. I really hope they will include two people locally against randoms on online this time.

Edit: oh shit top page umm... hi.
