I have a story that's somewhat related to what's happening now. When this leaked scan first surfaced three years ago...

[The scan with MMX as Zero's DLC costume from the official guide for UMvC3]

My first, immediate, gut reaction was "That's fake." I actually even said it out loud. "That's fake." But then I stopped and asked myself, "Why do I think it's fake?" I realised that it wasn't because it looked fake, or that it made sense to be fake. I said it because it was my worst nightmare coming true before my eyes.

We have a term for this kind of thing; it's called "denial". Just sayin'.

Isn't that fake though? Mega Man wasn't ever DLC, right?
 
actually, hold up

why is shulk's position in the select screen between clones and third parties?

that's a bit off

Enough people mistook Xenoblade for a third party game that Sakurai believed them.

Or the 'leaker' thinks it's third party :lol

Am I alone in hoping that the veteran DLC list is the real one? All those newcomers would be really nice, but I wouldn't take them over our precious vets.

Especially my precious Snake.

remove the scan since it's bannable offense.

Mega Man is DLC as Zero's alt, as that scan implied.

The ones who are most opposed to the leak, the ones who are getting angry about the leak... are the ones who don't want it to be real :/ If they were SO sure that it's fake, they'd have come to accept it, and moved on. If they're still fighting for reasons to make it fake... it makes it look like they secretly think there's a chance it's real... and that they're upset about the possibility.

No (reasonably sized) roster would make everyone happy. Some people are bound to be upset with it.

Stop taking out your anger on others :/
 
Does anyone here, by any chance, know the general timeframe for physical Famitsu leaks?

Since Famitsu has been released digitally, it seems like all scans (including this one, released digitally yesterday) are from the digital version. Is there any history of physical copies being in the wild prior to the digital ones?

why is Mr Game and Watch out of place in Brawl

He's in the last three.

Start from top left and read the columns instead of the rows.

If anything, that makes this 'leak' a bit more perculiar.
 
That sounds like the stage I'll be playing all the time :)



I'm usually in OT or in Best Friends GAF.



I'm the coolest so I have to remain neutral.

Is there any competitive players here from NY?

Yeah I've seen you around in the Super Best Friends thread and some NBA threads I think. Similar interests.

I only believe the veteran DLC list (Lucas, Wolf, Ice Climbers, Snake and Chorus Men). Reason being, it came alongside the CSS screen and Duck Hunt, which are both very believable. There is no actual evidence for that other rumor (Ridley, Dixie, etc). Also, it just seems more realistic for the DLC to be mainly veterans. And Snake makes so much sense as a DLC hook.

There is no way there are so many newcomers left. Sakurai said we're getting at the bottom of the stash of newcomer trailers, and that list seems like a lot of trailers.

The amount of trailers left don't necessarily equate to the amount of newcomers left. There will probably be secret characters with no pre-release trailers.

Pic of the day. "No, I'll just beat you within an inch of your life!" Demon Lord Ghirahim makes an appearance in Smash Bros!! He's an Assist Trophy, so he could conceivably back up Link, too.

Really cool AT, i like how many new zelda content this game is getting.
 
Rundas is... eh, I can see it. Not really as good a pick as Dark Samus, IMO, but you could do cool stuff with the ice motif.

Nor is he really as good a pick as RIDLEY! And Rundas is almost as big as Ridley, right?

EDIT: Whoops, I was thinking of the Berserker Lord.


Heath, I'mma do you a huge favor and strongly recommend you check out both Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4 (Specifically the GCN version). Those are the two best games for the GameCube. I'm not exaggerating.

That's how I do read it. Like Shulk, he's with the third-party dudes. So he's out of place.

...My point being, I don't think Sakurai groups the third-party dudes separately. He just sticks them at the bottom of the roster. For whatever reason, Shulk ended up on the same row as Sonic/Pac-Man/Mega Man, just like Mr G&W ended up on the same row as Sonic/Snake.

It VERY LIKELY means nothing.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Good point made by Japanese fans...the 3rd Party Characters on in a different order than their stages.

Of course the Stages are never in the same order as their franchise, but in Brawl it was Snake and Sonic, and then MGS and Green Hill on the Stage Select.

That's not the correct room. It's this one.

And I know how to edit images. I'm an animator and work in both 3D and 2D, I have extensive knowledge of how to use Photoshop. Don't try to talk to me about not knowing how image editing works, yo.

You're focusing on the wrong thing. Anyone could fake this room. But nobody knew this room was in, at this specific angle, until the day after the leak. You would have to be INCREDIBLY lucky to not only choose a room that hasn't shown up in a screenshot before but to ALSO pick the correct angle for the room to be shown at.
Well then I have no idea why you thought you need to make a 3D model to make a blurry pic.

But at least you agree its a room from the game rather than a Smash original like some were saying.

Also angle isn't hard. Every room has the door as the back wall.

But why would you put a random room out of the main game into your fake leak instead of a room that has already be seen? It wouldn't have been suspicious at all to just take something that is already known. Like this on the other hand the danger that the leak is getting debunked because the faker randomly chose a room from Tomodachi that wasn't confirmed for Smash yet is incredibly high. There just needs to be a playable demo or a Trailer or more PotD which never show this room and it would be debunked.

That's a really huge gamble.
Because rooms are random and you can get credibility by not reusing shown assets. Your post is exactly why someone would do that.

Also please note that six rooms are shown when the stage is in play and yet we've seen more than six rooms. Thus we can easily conclude that the room combination isn't fixed.

Admit it: you made this leak. Just fess up and release the Duck Hunt render.
Yep, I've been working on this in between writing the chapters for the fan fic.

Didn't he also mention before that he hasn't played MGS?

Heath, you gotta start rolling. There are so many games out there you needa play dude. I second both of those recommendations, especially MP.
 
More characters and DLC is fake? Hope he's right, but I don't know that he has any real credibility. Is that the third leak guy, or someone else?

Why should we believe that poster is the original leaker? The original posts came from 4chan.

Masterlinkx also admitted to taking the real pictures and editing them to mess with people, like changing "disabled" to "disablad". He posted a picture that detailed that composition on the major Smashboards thread last night and deleted it later. I saw it myself, though. He has the original pictures, along with several others, but is not leaking them anymore.

Several Smashboards mods claim to be in touch with contacts that have confirmed what we have seen is not the final roster, but there is no intended character DLC at this time.

Believe what you will.

It VERY LIKELY means nothing.

Why would they put him between the clone and third party bunch though? Those two are bunched at the end for a reason, so it makes no sense for Shulk to be there. As for G&W, why is he not nearer to the bottom of the selection screen? Has his importance skyrocketed?

This is casting doubt on the validity of this thing.

But all the clones are grouped together near the end of roster. If it was Lucina with the third parties with Dark Pit at the end of the above row I wouldn't really think twice about it but it makes no sense to go

characters characters characters
clone characters
shulk
third parties

Someone claiming to be him posted a thread on /v/ claiming that larger-sized Shulk was faked by a Xenoblade fan in Photoshop, with a screenshot as evidence. I didn't post it here because, to me, it looked he had just cut up the Shulk in Photoshop. However, it would line up my informant's comment from a couple days ago.

According to said /v/ user, that fan made the render in response to the very first leak coming out.

I'm skeptical, because, you know, 4chan.

I would rather to see veteran DLC List to happens since I don't like to see characters getting cut. Also It would be weird to not see any new character for Legend of Zelda.
 
Yeah I was thinking about the Berserker Lord. Anyway, Rundas isn't a particularly popular or important character. He's the most friendly of the 3 other hunters in MP3. That's it. Dark Samus is a much more important, cool, and workable character.

Even Berseker Lord is no where close to the size of Ridley.

Not at all. Ridley and a 3rd DK Rep are two of my most wanted remaining newcomers, but I'm not sacrificing Ice Climbers for them.
