[J@hranimo]

Well since these secret characters were in a group of 3, maybe we'll get the other 9 in 3 separate updates.

and then the last 2 boxes...

 

[The Captain]

Um, they'll expand the size since we still have, like 8 secret characters left.

Also, the three announced today all share the same icon.

Come on Nintendo, where's my Nintendo Direct?

 

[Karsticles]

Come on Nintendo, where's my Nintendo Direct?

Why is it so hard to understand that it is in Nintendo's best interest to let the 3DS version sell for a bit before pushing the Wii U version? I see these kinds of comments far too often around here.

Its true they need to sell the kids version before we get the adult version.

 

[Nintendojitsu]

Come on Nintendo, where's my Nintendo Direct?

I'd give them by the 24th of this month.

They still can promote the connection between 3DS and WiiU, making people think it's worth buying both. I expect to see a direct before Oct 11, about NN3DS, software for winter, and maybe Xenoblade Cross.

#Believe:
- Smashville
- Gamer/ Game & Wario
- Onett
- No Event Mode (Disappointment = Truth)

#Bulls**t:
- Too Good to be True
- Too much info being given
- Impa
- "Great Fox" does not equal "Orbital Gate"
- Currently no sight of WiiU Magicant

#Neutral:
- If "Tower of Smash" is the new mode, Sakurai will/ would probably show it off soon, and advertise it like Smash Run.


Anyone got something to add?

No event mode? I HOPE that shit isn't true. Although, I suppose Tower of Smash would be a mostly suitable replacement.

How is this a point in its favor? It's been about two weeks since the original, even less since the added stage list.

- Gamer/ Game & Wario

No.

He put "Game & Wario" as a new stage, and he sort of got that right; it's actually called Gamer. However, guessing that correctly wasn't hard: Game & Wario the most recent Wario game, and we already had three other stages based on a Wii U titles. Ashley and Kat & Ana, both use their Game & Wario redesigns as well.

Onett wasn't that hard to guess either.

 

[theprodigy]

like I said, it's harder to deconfirm a stage leak since unlike characters, it's unlikely that a stage gets straight up deconfirmed (you can show an AT/trophy of a character in a random PotD, but you can't exactly show a stage elsewhere, it's either in the game or not)

 

[IntelliHeath]

I suddenly catch the reference of this pic. lol

Is it Lord of Ring or what?

I know Diddy Kong, Falco and Fox used to team up in SSE against Bowser but what about Takamaru?

Never Mind. I didn't even think about Momotaro.

The Momotaro reference is awesome.

Takamaru = Momotaro
Fox = Dog
Falco = Pheasant
Diddy = Monkey (taunt pose is perfect for this shot too.

Bowser + ore club = Oni

Thanks!

 

[KLatin Scelus]

Should I change it to "has a lot of acknowledgment"?
GameXplain & TvTropes have talked about it, its got more attention than most other fake leaks. (as far as I can tell)
Or should I just remove it completely?

It feels like its been weeks since Castle Siege was revealed :/

If we consider the stage list alone, the only way to disprove it is by showing a stage that wasn't on the list. We don't get new stage reveals too often, so it will take a bit of time for that to happen.

The only evidence towards it is two returning stages and a new stage which was listed under a generic name. Not much to go on, yet people are claiming that the Tower of Smash leaker is some sort of new prophet.

Why does it matter if people have talked about it? I've seen people talk about the leak that said Parappa the Rapper would be in, but that doesn't make it any more true.
The only reason it gets attention is because of the detail (which other fakes have had) and because people want it to be true.

No one (in SmashGAF at least) is seriously doing that.

I'll take that as remove it.

I have never heard of the Parappa leak. How many websites/ videos talked about it?

They're out there. Just not here.

I've seen people worry about Yoshi being cut because he wasn't confirmed when Yoshi's NEW Island was released.

exactly, which is why making a large stagelist for a leak is "better", because you're more likely to hit stages actually in the game and nobody can actually tell if one or more of the stages is BS (unlike with characters, if you put in someone that gets shown as an AT later you're screwed)

edit: I think we're pretty much agreeing and talking past each other here

Generic names like "Endless Ocean," "Nintendo Land," and "Game & Wario" are also just safe names to use, because of how non-specific they are.

Yup.

I'll take that as remove it.

None, because Parappa is a Sony character. Some people on forums and stuff just gave it attention because it was so laughably fake, it wasn't a lot of people though.

GameXplain is great, but they do make twenty minute discussions based on single images sometimes. And think of how many crazy ideas Andre has had for stages. It's not like they're always serious.
They covered the Palutena images, which later turned out to be fake (even if they were believable at the time). They're not perfect.

Spoiler

Well, maybe Derrick is.

I actually got the reference too! This only because I recently watched the guys in Tsukai no Gaki (hopefully i spelled it right) enact it while wasted

After knowing the Tower of Smash rumor, I want a WiiU Paper Mario game. D:

Wario has some solid dental hygiene despite eating garlic and other people all day.

Well to be fair, they cover things with the acknowledgement that they very well may not be true. But even though the Palutena images were fake, she of course turned out to be real

 

[Neoxon]

I'm just gonna take the wait & see stance on this one.

 

[The Captain]

That's what I was saying - GameXplain having talked about the "Tower of Smash" leak doesn't make the "Tower of Smash" leak any more credible.

Step 1.) Make a leak
Step 2.) Get game journalists to acknowledge it
Step 3.) ?
Step 4.) Profit

Yep, you got it. It's all for the attention.

 

[jorgejjvr]

The 3ds version makes me want to play the wii u version so much more. Sometimes it can be a bit frustrating when the inputs you plan on doing don't come out exactly, feels like I am not at full potential

 

[TheSlySoul]

I have a feeling the Wii U unlock conditions are going to be the same as the 3DS because it is done through the modes shared on both games. I hope you can connect to the Wii U version to bypass doing Classic mode over and over.

I got all characters by playing in versus, online with friends, and for glory 1 on 1. But yeah, hopefully if you connect the two you have all the characters from the get go on the wii u version

 

[Neoxon]

As for the rumor, to be fair, one could argue that you spend a good chunk of the time on Orbital Gate on the Great Fox. I'm not on either side of the rumor, but it's something to consider. I need more substantial evidence before I can be swayed to either side.

 

[Jagsrock]

Wii U version looking so good. HYPE RISING.

also some classic sakurai humor right here lol.

 

[Renta]

Yknow, there's nothing quite like breaking someone's shield with browser then proceeding with a full charged side smash.

Delicious.

It would be wise for NoE and NoA to completely ignore the New 3DS until early next year. I'm pretty sure that's what they'll do as well.

 

[J@hranimo]

Hahaha that is great!

This is sitting right next to me at work. The game's cart is in my 3DS. The Club Nintendo code has been registered. But I'm at work. I can't play it. Argh.

Oh well, at least I get to laugh at this clever Vine Drak put up on Twitter

Luma too strong. Should be downgraded to pikmin level

At the bottom right are six empty slots. With Ness, Falco, Wario and Duck Hunt, that leaves two empty spots.

Spoiler

Ridley and K. Rool?

More like Dr. Mario, ROB and Dark Pit.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Been playing some for glory and man Jigglypuff is so boring to fight against.

Tons of air dodge spam makes for an annoying opponent.

I had to use my Mario just to beat it.

It's a reference to the story of Momotaro.

Ahh The Legend of Momotaro, figures. And I should've known that after seeing it in ToQger!

 

[Ryce]

Press B when your Power Meter is full ("K.O." will be flashing on the bottom screen).
