Got into a debate with WiiFolderJosh about the Sal Romano leaks (he's calling it fake, claimed that some parts were wrong, & that he doubted Shulk's chances). It was interesting, at least.
Is this the same guy who said people protesting region-locking were greedy and should just buy a respective 3DS for every region they want to import specific games from?

if so he doesn't really strike me as the type of person you'd care about 'winning' a debate with

As far as I remember, he has a history for saying many stupid things.

I always got the impression the guy kept to his thoughts and nothing would make him change his mind. I do not know why he hates Mario and Luigi: Dream Team and likes PM: Sticker Star. *shrugs*
 
Ya'll can have your leaks. I just want Snake in this.

I usually main Link, but when I'm not playing 1 on 1, then Snake is my choice. Its just great to plant claymores on people an activate them on their face. And of course burying landmines and forgetting about them only to walk over it myself. That shits just funny.
 
He's just saying you can play the original Balloon Fight game within Smash Bros. That is technically new information, no?

If this is actually a mini-game of sorts, then yes.

That would make it a 3DS exclusive mode no?

You were wrong :D
As far as I understand it, you can play Balloon Fighter in the game with 4 player-battle.

So wait... are we agreeing that this is a brand new mode for the game (play a weird version of balloon fight using villagers) or that he recreated it by doing 3-4 player FFA on this stage using only villager and only UP B.

I think he's saying this is a Balloon Fight minigame.

"This is only a small piece of this jam-packed game." --- this is the quote which leads me to believe that

Yeah, that is the part that makes me suspect that, too. Cool... I guess?
 
Yeah, I hope it is a minigame. Balloon Fight is great fun.

I agree that the quote definitely implies it to be a minigame. I still have my doubts, but fingers crossed.

Pic of the day. The all-time classic Balloon Fight returns to the modern age, now playable with four players. This is only a small piece of this jam-packed game.

:0

Ha!
 
So, are we expecting Shulk as the next newcomer? I hope Chrom is last to be shown.

Yeah, we have enough time for maybe 1 august nintendo direct and an early september 'smash 3ds' direct.

We could get 1 newcomer trailer for august normal direct and 2+ for september smash 3ds direct.

Gematsu says we have 3 left, right? Shulk, Chrom, Chorus kids.

What other events are between reveals? When's gamescom and TGS? On phone so can't check easily.

I have a feeling that there will be something happening at EVO. Since Nintendo seems to be getting into things lately.

But yes, three more characters to be shown from the leak. Shulk, Chorus Men, and Chrom.

I just need to some veterans already as well, I need Ice Climbers! Mr. Game & Watch seems like a character that'd be shown soon. :P

What other events are between reveals? When's gamescom and TGS? On phone so can't check easily.

Just checked on my phone:

Tokyo Game Show; September 18-21

Gamescom; August 14-17

EVO; July 11-13

Yeah, all major events are after 3DS game, which supposedly has same roster, so everything has to be done during a direct, if at all. I really doubt EVO will be anything, honestly.

There are a few more options: We get 0-1 newcomer reveals before launch (like chrom) and then the 3DS game comes out and sometime between 3DS and Wii U we get the trailers for all remaining newcomers - showing off their Wii U versions. It's a possibility that someone like Chorus men is best discovered in the same way that Game and Watch was and then they get a trailer post-launch.

The other possibility is the free-parity-DLC where characters aren't on the 3DS one but are a free update after launch when Wii U one comes out. This seems unlikely though, but it's still always a possibility. 3DS comes out without 1-2 characters - Nintendo direct w/ reveal trailer - says 'You can download them for free on 3DS RIGHT NOW."

I'm sorry for your time loss.

Lol. He's the man who hated Mario 3D world. His opinions are weird. He also wants Layton in smash, which is cool... except that he's a level 5 character and not property of nintendo.

It upsets me that Josh Thomas and I have something in common :_(

I think Layton would be a pretty awesome third party rep, despite not having a lot of history. He's so closely associated with Nintendo, especially in the West, that he'd fit right in.

I think so too, but in his latest video he fails to mention the fact that layton is not a nintendo IP. It comes off as him not knowing that, even if he actually does.

Dude, Mii Fighter is like the most shocking prediction imaginable. And you can't just ignore Wii Fit Trainer lol

Mii really isn't all that shocking, it was kind of expected, while a bunch of people didn't want them in. Including me. Sure the title Mii Fighter was pretty unexpected, with three varieties to choose from.

I googled it and it says its the founder/host/video designer of the bitblock.

I don't know what the bitblock is but I think I've heard of it.

I have never heard of bitblock. I've heard of other 'block' games. Lol.
 
Didn't notice the green alt being a reference to the o.g. bowser, turn up!

Super Saiyan Bowser though? that's a wrap.

Wow, this thread though; where to begin? Ah, I played S.S.B.4 in both of it's incarnations at both SmashFests in Buckhead (Atl)

I got a ton of footage of me, my friends and random people playing, usually both 2 2min matches, despite nintendo reps being a pain.

3DS version is gloriously buttery smooth and smash run is really fun. Fuck those Stalfos & their uber shields. Shiek felt incredible, especially her jabs & down B which K.Os mid to high percent. (Yoshi) The game just felt so polished & I lucked out and got a stock battle at the end of the run.

Wii U: At first it was incredibly awkward b.c. of a lack of controller customization and I couldn't hit B to save my life so I S.Dd a lot with Marth. His dancing blade is melee style again so that threw me too. Little Mac is sick as fuck. He hits so hard but there is a ton of cooldown on his neutral B. His jab combo K.O.s at 80%+!! and he can recover well w/ his Side B, yay! On Sat I NAILED my friend's Fox w/ the K.O. punch. (He was at 18% & didn't die b.t.w.) Greninja was akward timing wise but very fast and agile. His side B is hard to land at first but the longer the charge the further the reach and his neutral b is extremely satisfying & fully charged, its a multi hit KILL MOVE! No wonder you can't hold it for later.

That's it but will post more if I think of anything. Getting these videos uploaded is gonna be a chore at 3 megs. Anyone have suggestions on easiest way to get them to you guys?

Hmmm? Do you have any library that would allow you to upload the videos faster? Just an idea?

Yeah, I meant that he knew that it would be called "Mii Fighter". Mii itself isn't that crazy, but knowing the exact name?

Yeah, 3 things point to him being legit.

  1. Wii fit trainer AND megaman - each incredibly unlikely on their own and even more unlikely together.
  2. Pokemon from X/Y - sakurai revealed that they originally had a slot for a pokemon from X/Y and chose a starter based on artwork. They did not know the name at the time, just like the leaker.
  3. Calling them a "Mii Fighter" rather than Mii.

Oh! We're talking about the leaker here. In that case, yeah, the guy has an actual source. He's gotten everything correct, especially with some crazy names like Wii Fit Trainer/Mega Man, Chorus Men would be the next big thing.

Plus called out Mii Fighter, before it was revealed to be that. I mean, how can you not believe him?
 
Sorry to ask this chaps, but was Game and Watch announced for Smash Bros.?

I saw him in the Pac-Man trailer, but so far it doesn't show on the Smash Bros. site.
 
Streamed about 4 hours of Xenoblade tonight. First time playing the game.

Sooooo.......it's fucking AWESOME. Hot damn. Only got passed the "intro" (3 hours in a JRPG), but just wow. Shit gets real. Obviously I still have a long way to go, but right off the bat I just have a much better understanding of why people like this game so much. It really feels like it's something special. I think I'm really going to be excited to play as Shulk in Smash by the time I finish this, and before I played it, he was the character I was least excited for.

Thanks to the people on here that lead me into the game. It was one of the few games out there I literally knew nothing about. I hadn't even seen gameplay of it before. I don't know if I ever would've checked it out without the details you guys gave me. And thanks for the GAFers that came out to the stream. Shit was a lot of fun! I'll be continuing it tomorrow, I'll post it here when it starts.

Also, FUCKING REYN.

Another one has been converted! This makes me overjoyed.

He can not like 3D World, that's fine. That's his opinion.

But what the hell were him and GameXplain doing trying to force their opinion on others and reinforce their dislike towards 3D World. Especially them telling people it is not better than the Galaxy games like it's a fact. Extremely poor showing by both of them.

Anyways, I dislike WiiFolderJosh because of his terrible arguments.
The one thing he's done that I like is his skyward sword rebuttal video.

I remember that video. That GameSpot reviewer was so off about the controls lol.

EDIT: Sorry for the off-topic posts.

They said that? I can't sit through GameXplain videos anyway, but that's pretty asinine.

I may have exaggerated it or missed some details a bit lol. But that is how I perceived that video. I think it had to do with other reviews giving it high scores (9/10; 10/10) and saying it is better than the Galaxy games and them just not being able to accept that.
 
man I know right

still play mission mode every weekend <3
Last year I was subletting an apartment that had the perfect desk setup so I could really easily use the touchscreen map. Haven't played the game as much since then, I feel like I won't be able to beat my high score with another setup lol. It's amazing though! They just need to actually release Pikmin again though, NPC Pikmin 1 is like impossible to find. Maybe GCN VC?

I can kind of understand that if it was right after the games release, I kinda felt the same way right after finishing it. But after going back to Galaxy, I think 3D World might actually be more fun to play.
 
Okay, I'm on board with the Sal Romano leak, but I still don't think we have the full story.

- I think everyone is putting way too much stock into the Lucas getting cut thing. Sakurai hates cuts. And up until the most recent leak, we had no reason to believe he was cutting anyone (except maybe Snake, Ivysaur, and Squirtle) seeing as so many characters people considered to be on the chopping block were revealed (Ike, Lucario, Toon Link). Also, we have reason to believe that this leaker's information is a little dated. Which means it's still valid (sorta kinda), but things may have changed (and almost certainly have, as games in development do). Plus, Sakurai wanted to cut Ness in Melee and replace him with Lucas (citation needed, I can't remember where I saw this). At the very least, he wanted Lucas in Melee but couldn't make it work due to the Mother 3 delays. So this is a character Sakurai has wanted to be in since Melee.

- The wording on whether or not the leaker has already revealed all the newcomers is ambiguous at best. If the only newcomers we have yet to see are Chrom, Shulk, and Chorus Kids, then that would mean Smash 4 would be introducing 14 characters (if you count Mii Fighter variations, which I do). A respectable number, for sure. But I pegged Sakurai as just a tad more ambitious with the roster in this entry, regardless of his statements on the matter. This game's main attraction is the characters playable, so while I wouldn't be upset (not by a long shot) if this were the final host of newcomers, it would honestly surprise me a little, just because it doesn't reek of that Sakurai Ambition (TM) that is present in every aspect of all his games. Now please don't misinterpret this to mean I think Sakurai has to add X number of characters for me to consider his game ambitious. It's just a feeling I have about the man's philosophy on making games.
 
Leaks about cuts are obviously a lot more suspect since even if the source is legitimate, you never know what build he saw or what information he's privy to.

Thanks for the stream and the shout-outs too, it was fun :D
I'll definitely try and catch your future ones as you further adventure on the corpse of the Bionis :3

Well, keep in mind the prophecy didn't say he was cut, merely that they had considered it :3 (and yes, I'm going to keep calling it the prophecy rather than the leak, because it amuses me :P )
