Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread XI: Where 90% correct equals 100% wrong

Also what about the fact there is evidence to suggest the SSE was a canceled Kirby Wii prototype?

I mean, if it wasn't working as a Kirby game it doesn't work any better with Smash characters.
I think people just make that association given Sakurai's history and the development trouble plaguing the then Kirby GameCube title.
 
I'm not surprised OT10 went so quick. We got two newcomers in one trailer, plus the fan favorite veteran. Of equal importance, the trailer basically rewrote the narrative on "Gematsu as gospel." Along with discussion of how Robin works and Lucina's clone-dom, and some surprisingly strong Miiverse updates (Star Fox stage, etc), we had enough hype to coast to 200 pages, easy. :-)

July 14th; a trailer dropped 3 characters on us, blowing away the iron-clad certainty of the Gematsu leak, reintroducing a well-known and liked veteran and adding two new awesome additions from the cast that saw few coming.
For us, the day Sakurai's trailer graced our interwebs, was the hypest day of our smashgaf lives. But for Sakurai... it was a Monday :p

Edit: replaced pic with a newer one where I fixed a few things and changed his lil winged skull to something more... appropriate :3

Yes, yes, I "cut your favorite character...!" What is it with you people anyway? I cut MY favorite character too and you don't hear ME whining about it!

As a standard I don't believe leaks and rumors about stuff that happens on development teams. I'd rather hear about it from the horses's mouth not some guy on the internet's brother's friend when was the janitor for Sakurai's office.

A lot of times people believe leaks and rumors because it fits with their preconceived notions about something.
 
SSE should have been about the bus.
Right. It wasn’t bad at all and had its own appeal, but it was a bit different than what I had envisioned it would be. It went something like this…"Some of the characters are on a bus on the way to the stadium. Samus is there. Donkey Kong is there and Snake is watching the bus from afar." It was like that. (laughs) I had envisioned a more serious tone for the story. Something with some misfortunelike a single character escaping total annihilation of his squadron and then fighting back while rounding up his allies. Ultimately, we worked together and successfully organized our ideas into the storyline for The Subspace Emissary.

Lurking through the leak threads on Smash boards, you'd think people would have a 'fake before proven' mentality but no, some people will believe a leak even if it's frivolous.
 
Is this a bad thing or good thing?
Yes

Shulk when.
Hopefully soon. I'm genuinely curious as to how his reveal would work, or what his CG pose will end up looking like.

I don't expect it for at least another week or two, though, given we only got Robin/Lucina ten days ago. Even though the 3DS game launches in September (in Japan, anyway), I'd imagine Sakurai still wants to space things out a bit.
 
I've given up on trying to keep up in these threads lol. I read 'em every once in a while, post, and then weep as I realize that 10 minutes later my post will likely be super-old.

11 OT's. The hype is real, yo'.

"rumor has it that sakurai really dislikes mewtwo as a character so that's not why he's in!"

"I knew he hated him! See guys!? This totally unsubstantiated rumor says sakurai hates mewtwo that's why he isn't in brawl!"


It is ridiculous.

I could see them introducing newcomers much faster than they've been doing it with the release date drawing closer, we've got what? Seven more weeks left until the game is fully released, can't hide them all

The sad thing is GAF isn't much better. People will believe leaks based solely on if they like the "information" within.
 
I really do think that the full roster will be announced prior to release (otherwise all four Fire Emblem characters wouldn’t have been revealed yet). And since the 3DS version comes out in exactly seven weeks from today in Japan, Sakurai is going to have to burn through the following in a month:

Ness
Jigglypuff
Ice Climbers
Mr. Game & Watch
Falco
Ganondorf
Wario
Meta Knight
Wolf
R.O.B.
Shulk
Chorus Kids (
believe
)

We could very well get a veteran reveal per week from now on. There will probably be a random Direct in August with Shulk, and there might be another dedicated Smash Bros. Direct in early September for Chorus Kids and the last few veterans.

Heaven help this board if that happens.
