Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments

Still feel the less you post in the leak the more believable it is. With a list that long you start to think if you know that much why don't you know more?
 
Yes, I understand that, but if that is an overriding criterion for deciding the validity of a leak, then hold onto yer butts, cause you're going to be believing some crazy ass rumors. The list has plenty of problems to start with, in my opinion.
Well it's obviously not the main thing that helps me believe this 'leak' is true. That would be the fact that Ashley is an assist trophy (And most of it seems fairly plausible in my eyes). That being said, it's most likely false anyway. I'm just keeping my eye on it since it's one of the rumors with the highest chance of being true.

Makes sense. It will be interesting looking back at all these rumors after smash 4 is released. I don't even mind the leakers anymore, it helps me pass the time between real info.
 
So, yet another disappointment.

Called it.

Also, out of curiosity, why does everyone think there will be a Direct soon?

They had a direct to try and make themselves look good before last january's investor meeting and people are wondering if it'll happen again for this one.
 
I'm starting to think that this thread could serve as a valuable insight for new, undiscovered forms of mental insanity. I'm sure a large portion of you aren't being entirely serious, but you guys know how low the odds are that Sakurai shows anything good. It's like you're asking to be disappointed every day at 3 AM XD

"But it's Smash's 15th anniversary!" Why do you guys do this to yourselves? When will you realize Sakurai only wants to watch the world burn? What hole are you filling up with the meager excitement you experience once in a blue moon when he actually shows something cool off?

Not to mention the willingness with which the thread allows itself to get taken away by leaks that are clearly fake. He's too big, seek help.
 
Man, the 15th Anniversary deserved better than a measly mention in the pic's caption. You're dang right I was a kid and now I'm an adult, what of it? Fifteen years will do that to you! Samurai, I am disappoint.

Now I know I'm not entering this thread like I do once in a blue moon to find someone dissing the prospect of a TW101 rep

How dare you

It is not even in the PIC's caption xD

Because while you have aged in those 15 years Sakurai hasn't.
 
Is this a new rumor or part of this post?

No, they came from two different rumor leakers. I found it weird that two different rumors are matching up.

There is a direct coming up?


Because of what developer said on Twitter? I'm pretty sure that he said that it wasn't Nintendo-related right?

What is wrong with you people

I don't know what's wrong with us.
 
This is secretly the best thread on GAF

Yes it is. So many crushed dreams.

Speaking of which, this last leak does seem awfully believable... as in it's exactly what we are all expecting. No crazy stuff, no weird newcomers, a roster that is frankly too predictable.

The reality is that I wish it's fake because it says Paper Mario was never considered. That's killing me inside, so much for Sakurai wanting unique characters, he's literally made of paper and can fold onto itself.
 
Of course the 15th anniversary deserves better. That's why there will be a new trailer later this week in a Nintendo Direct!
Believe!
 
Wow, many people here are acting like whiny brats. It's like Miiverse leaked onto here.

And to top it off, the info we got in the pic is new, so it isn't "nothing".
 
It seems like every day there's a new excuse to get over-excited.

The best part is how some people seem to think their hype obligates him in some way to reveal something interesting.

Brawl's site only had this on the same day, so it's probably safe to say he doesn't care about "celebrating" it.

I think he's more humble with his works, rather than not caring about celebrations or so.
 
Smash Bros leaks these days are so boring. I swear there must be some "Smash Bros. Rumor Template" they're all following.

Step 1: Start with some plausible ideas, such as already-rumored characters or big fan favorites making it into the roster.

Step 2: Fill the rest of the "leak" out with your own personal wishlist.

Step 3: Add lots of details that nobody but those on the development team would know, because we all know game devs are eager to break NDAs and risk their long-term job situation in the industry to let random forumgoers in on SHOCKING SECRETS they'll find out within months anyways.

Step 4: Finish with "X character will be revealed on *insert soon-approaching date here*". This way the limelight will be on you for a little while, instead of having your rumor be forgotten almost immediately.

Is anybody fooled by these?
 
I'm sure when Sakurai was talking about how he hoped Smash would come out in 2014, he was thinking "Thank God I have that seven month buffer since I planned all along to release it in the spring!"

You figured it out

Good job guys
 
You also have to remember that Sakurai doesn't spend time speculating on special reasons he might post a significant picture.

Yeah, aren't most pictures just him fucking around snapshotting things in game while playing the most recent build anyway? (See the E3 Developer Direct for details)
 
A lot of this seems plausible. When did this "rumour" appear? If this turned out to be true I'd be pretty pleased
except for no Isaac/Shulk. Where's the JRPG love at? :<

I dont think the person even if the rumor is true would know every single character reveal and stuff, just what he knows.
 
That one specific rumor that included Ashley I would personally be ok with. It's a pretty decent list.

I would just hope that he just doesn't know about Shulk, because I really want Shulk to be in the game.

Well he said Pac-Man would be final character so I assumed that rumor list is finalized with all characters. I seriously doubt that it's real for now.

stop posting about fake rumors and hypothetical directs

What if one of those rumors are real?
 
Not doing full sprites for unconfirmed characters I decided to do a little
something for fun.

I'm okay with loads of different characters, but I decided to create
a (relatively) balanced roster that'd fill in a number of slots equel to the brawl newcomers. (minus the 4 already confirmed guys)

I also made these sprites ridiculously tiny, just cause I can:

So just saw the monday update, and the japanese translation with it. Every time Sakurai opens his mouth this two games seem to be less and less ambitious than its predecessor.

That information's been out there since the game was announced. That he's still trying to come up with a more involved single player mode even after SSE was a fantastic disappointment is somewhat ambitious still. The obvious answer wasn't correct in that case and he's still experimenting.
