Support NeoGAF

[Son Of D]

We also have a suspicious 30min Announcement and Awards slot before UMVC3 starts. I just don't think giving the top eight a medal will take 30min (Not to mention UMVC3 and USFIV lack it while KI has it. Guess which game got a trailer during EVO last year? Plot thickens)

I didn't watch EVO last year, what game was it?

 

[Timeaisis]

This Guy

Wait a god damn minute. There's no way this is a real thing. Right?

Spoiler

Right?

If we get Naruto before Ridley...

 

[IntelliHeath]

I have no idea haha. Let's just assume it's the Naruto guy.

I'm pretty sure that it's author's name that made Naruto. I would wage that it's a joke.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I didn't watch EVO last year, what game was it?

Killer Instinct I think

So the stream is just the new character announcement right? There's nothing else after?

Yup. Seems like Sakurai wants to reveal a character now, but Nintendo doesn't have enough lined up right now for a full direct.

[botty]

I think maybe the fact that Prog said is going to be stellar or something like that.

o... well, you know how most smash fans are.... if Sakurai farts then they'll think Wario is coming on friday.

People are hoping because nintendo is a sponsor this year. Personally I don't see it happening.

What sparked this turn of events?

 

[Caladrius]

Nothing else was mentioned, so I'd assume so.

 

[Golnei]

It's not going to happen. It can't happen. It's not going to happen. This can't be happening...

Spoiler

So, what are the chances of an Eternal Darkness AT or stage?

 

[superNESjoe]

I know in some communities this is an unpopular thing to say, and I did say earlier in the thread it was silly to get upset about one thing in a game when there are plenty of things you do like. However, I'm saying this anyway.

I will be legitimately turned off if Naruto is in this game. Call it a distaste for anime, a fair argument that he simply doesn't belong (rooted in anime, not games. No real relationship to Nintendo or gaming history at all). Hell, call it both.

I mean not to offend Naruto fans, I simply feel like if they decide Naruto fits in the game and somebody like Snake (who's recurrence and original existence is questionable) or Ridley gets cut/not chosen, I'm going to be livid.

There will be a bonus stream contains Sakurai drinking *insert character name*supporter's tear.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Even if it is the real Kishimoto, the guy is a known Nintendo fan. I mean, I remember an author's comment in Shonen Jump pretty recently from him talking about how he was excited for the Zelda shown at this year's e3

 

[Loco4Coco]

A episode of Naruto.

 

[Timeaisis]

Maybe the Nartuo creator lurks on SmashGAF and he knows about our running joke.

 

[DaBoss]

Spoiler

I can't believe that some people thought that Naruto creator guy retweet was real. Now this Toriyama one is the real deal. So is the Shulk one.

Killer Instinct

 

[mrhej]

A episode of Naruto.

Why would they show that when Goku is being revealed?

 

[Beelzebufo]

Why would they show that when Goku is being revealed?

Because in the middle of the episode, Goku, Mario, and Link show up. It's followed by a second trailer for Naruto.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Why would they show that when Goku is being revealed?

It'll be a crossover special.

 

[Choppasmith]

He did do character design(s) for tekken 6! Maybe he directed/designed the video trailer.

I just had a theory. What if the trailer involves Shulk fighting a bunch of the other swordsmen, Ike, Link, and Marth. Cuts to a mysterious figure on a rooftop, watching. It's TAKAMARU. Radically redesigned like Pit from Brawl by Kishimoto.

But if the tweet is fake, then oh well.

 

[Golnei]

It'll be a crossover special.

They'll teach kids about the dangers of drugs - through the power of song.

 

[PadWarrior]

I want the guyver if we get naruto

 

[IntelliHeath]

I want the guyver if we get naruto

I'm surprised that someone remember that anime. My friend used to have full set of that anime.

 

[superNESjoe]

Regardless of legitimacy of retweets. I really gotta say. If an anime character ended up in Smash (please don't happen), then where do we draw the line? At what point will we see the lights dim only to be treated to the introduction video for Uncle Jesse from Full House.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

who's Goko?

We already got Ice-T, now give us Coco.

 

[Kriken]

What sorcery is this?

Why does sheik have yoshi icon?

Clearly it's a sign that M2K will be switching to Yoshi during the finals of Evo and will win

Spoiler

Yeah, I saw that and was scratching my head

Duuuuuude.

Maybe getting Naruto wouldn't be so bad after all.

 

[PadWarrior]

Yea it was one of the few amines I watched. They had a remake back in 03 that lasted 26 episodes. Was awesome.

 

[georly]

Is this our first full view of final destination mode for palutena's temple?

Edit: Guess not

Also just realized alfonzo statue deconfirmed.

Edit again:

JC rodrigo is a nintendo treehouse employee. Dakota is the rapture from the smash invitational.

 

[OricWindstar]

Ah, it's nice to wake up and not have to worry about Smash Bros. news for the weekend-

*reads thread*

...dammit. Here's to the start of a long weekend.

Just from what I know about the game, an Eternal Darkness stage could really cool (if gimmicky).

It goes by faster if you watch EVO!

Plus, there still COULD be an announcement.

Also, is Dakota that clown K. Rool dude from Smash Boards?

 

[friskykillface]

everyone get off the king k rool bandwagon, its full

B^)

 

[Cody_D165]

I really hope we get a curveball that none of us are expecting.

But I'd settle for Ridley.

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Monday ... what a dull day for reveals ...

 

[Not]

Holy shit if effing Naruto is revealed. Miiverse will think Sakurai actually listens to them

EDIT: oh fake

 

[Beelzebufo]

Monday ... what a dull day for reveals ...

It's really exciting! This is the FIRST TIME we've every had a Monday character reveal! Plus, what a way to start the week!

So you're unwilling to settle.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Monday ... what a dull day for reveals ...

It'll totally kill the megaton hype for next Friday. There'll be nothing interesting to predict for the PotD.

Holy shit if effing Naruto is revealed. Miiverse will think Sakurai actually listens to them

So will I.

 

[emb]

Seriously though... can anyone tell me about that sheik/yoshi glitch?

Not sure if it got answered or not. Maybe I missed it.

Anyway, yes it's a known glitch. It has something to do with Kirby, Yoshi, and Falcon having more costumes than most characters. It's actually really easy to do too.

I don't know the actual name of it... but looking it up, apparently it's the stock glitch.

THANK YOU. Nobody answered for me.

 

[Zubz]

I'm Neoxon & I approve of this thread title.

This is the title we've been waiting for.

 

[PKrockin]

I find it hard to believe any gaffer would acrually think Naruto could be in this game.

 

[Lunar15]

The first leak contained only six characters, so there wasn't anything particularly strange about Rosalina's absence -- she was in the same boat as the Chorus Kids, Shulk, Chrom, Palutena, and Greninja at the time. The second leak came in April, months after Rosalina's reveal, so obviously there just wasn't an opportunity to leak her.

The most recent leak contained the same characters as the April leak, so Shulk, Chrom, and the Chorus Kids are probably the only newcomers left.

This is all very reasonable. My point, however, is just that it's just as much speculation as the other side is. I don't care what happens either way, I just think it's funny that people are saying "lol, those people are just making shit up", when really, no one knows 100% for sure what's going to happen.

Both stances take at least some jump in logic to complete.

 

[superNESjoe]

I would say the reactions are an indication of just how much we couldn't believe it.

No it's not. Notice how Ryce used information we know. One is random speculation, the other is using facts.

 

[Lunar15]

You're a hoot. Just chill out man.

As far as we know, the leak is still a rumor. It's not 100% confirmed even if it is 99.9% likely.

 

[IntelliHeath]

This is the title we've been waiting for.

Unfortunately moderators don't think it's wise to use that as thread title, so back to draw board to come up with better title.

 

[georly]

Don't know if acting dumb or not shulk.

Sounds like the possibility was considered
