Sakurai makes dreams come true confirmed.
Well, that was badass.
Love how you sometimes used footage appropriate for the lyrics without being too blatant or cheesy about it. The sudden Sakurai cut and the use of the actual audio for the Megaman final smash were hilarious.
Only issue for me is that you cut too much. I like the timing of the cuts with the character reveal screens, but stuff like Samus starting a final smash and then cutting to her firing a charge shot just made the video feel jerky. Just tone it down a tiny bit.
I don't think they do so that much, and Shulk was the next trailer afterwards.
As for your second comment, Sakurai wrote about why he chose Robin over Chrom, and said the decision wasn't made until after playing Awakening, so it's fairly possible Chrom was considered very early on.
As for being out of the loop, he did manage to update Mii to Mii Fighters at some point between April and May, so I don't personally think he's out of the loop.
Oh yeah! Very convenient to keep up with the hype in these threads
Hey! I may be a weirdo and have too much time in my hands, but....what was that third thing you said?
Not alone in that dream.
Everything after MM was gravy but I'm so dazzled by all the newcomers. Hell my ultimate cherry on top was any Xenoblade character for that sweet ass Plains stage+music.

He also made no mention of newcomers that we now know existed as early as June/July. And there is no evidence Chrom ever made it out of the "let's consider FE reps" stage.
Allow us to let the idea of Gematsu being even remotely infallible rest. Leaker knew some things early on and made up some other stuff.

From the little over a minute I saw it was very good. The beginning with the E3 execs was great. When the chorus hit and Mega Man raised his head was really well edited, the high point.
The challenger pictures while in time to the music felt off to me. Also I couldn't watch anymore of the trailer because I really don't like that song.
That doesn't seem all that likely - characters like Dillon have models on par with the playable cast while only being ATs, and several new models are being created solely for use as trophies. It's plausible enough that he was only intended to be a Final Smash by the time any modeling actually began. Besides, it'd be a fairly poor choice of character for DLC - even as a clone, there are better choices.

So he also had Famitsu in on this, that had already gone to publication by the time the trailer came out, and had them reprint the Smash article that came out two days later to be about Lucina and Robin?
DAT Lucina/Robin/Falcon reveal...one of the greatest surprises Sakurai has pulled off.
Unless you're a fan of Ganondorf or Snake, that is.

Nobody is commenting on this? Really? Fucking Sakurai moment KILLED ME
Thanks!
Thanks for the advice, It definitely could've used some more time in the oven but I was getting tired of editing and just wanted to send it out.

But he made my Ganondorf dreams come true! And he helped me win my avatar bets with Snake (probably)!
Speaking of bosses, has there been some sort of confirmation ("leak" ha) of the playable "boss mode" for the WiiU version? I recall reading a rumour about it and I really liked that idea.

I'm just throwing this out there and people can feel free to think I'm crazy but
What if
the people who work at Monolith
ALSO like video games and retweet things that they find interesting

That was really cool. Some may not agree, but I like the cutting to the newcomers.
I was actually thinking of doing something similar.
Shit son, I thought they were just robots on an assembly line. You're telling me people make these things?

Like the other day I retweeted the Bayonetta Direct announcement.
Despite otherwise flawless logic, I am not working on Bayonetta 2! I am mostly just looking forward to the game!

Perfectly reasonable and I basically agree. I still like the theory.
Horizon is the leaker, of course
Let's look at the Pokemon X and Y leak that happened last year. It's the closest big leak, in terms of time anyways, to the Gematsu leak:
-Made mention of Mewtwo having another form
-Made mention of Kanto starters
-Mentioned a few Pokemon
-Didn't mention a thing about Mega Evolutions, one of the biggest features in X and Y, and very hard to miss.
It's very clear that Nintendo divvies up testing of their games for the majority of their development, going off of this, as to prevent major leaks from happening.
My running theory is that the guy only saw parts of the game, thus giving him only a partial idea of what was in it, and that he used guesses to make up the remaining roster, similar to how we do.
I still think he's either involved in modeling or testing, and repeated either what he heard and made guesses from what he saw, or saw detailed models of Chrom and Chorus Kids and assumed they were playable. I mean, shit Chrom's model looks like a damn playable character.
Overall, it's just easier for me to believe that he wasn't trying to lie when he reported the second batch of newcomers, and that he simply reported incorrect info for some reason or another. I mean, the dude was right about all but two characters.

What a loser.
When I uploaded it, youtube informed me it would be blocked in certain countries, not sure how to fix it :/

But you're not a game developer lol, so of course you retweet stuff and it doesn't mean anything.
Only that one thing was retweeted. Sakurai probably asked them to help misdirect us.

Same here.
Pretty good, Glee!
Ha better than what I could do! Nice job!

I think Sakurai arranged the ESRB leak and is going to change all the characters out just to fuck with us.

I think Sakurai covered up 9/11.
Great job! That Sakurai part wrecked me. Too good
Xenoblade Chronicles update:
I'll be vague so as to not spoil others.
Went through the mines... and the marshlands... Now I'm inside Bionis, presumably headed for the forest... WOW. This game just keeps delivering. I spent a good couple hours just exploring the marshlands... I almost want to call them Gaur Plains 2: Electric Bog Boogaloo.

Glad you're enjoying it! Man, how much have you been playing?
Did you get to see the Satorl Marsh at night, the visuals and music really excel there.
Well this is embarrassing...
Yep. I guess this means no Waluigi. Excuse me while I laugh at the suffering. >
