Pink Gold Waluigi better be next!

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

I was being sarcastic. You of all people were the one thumping your Gematsu Bible as the one true saviour of us all the hardest, and one of the main reasons I barely visited the thread except to check for the screenshot updates.

The leak is old. Deal with it.

ftfy

The leak was very accurate until now.
I don't think the leak is wrong. It's just outdated now.
Doesn't change the fact that we shouldn't rely on it anymore.

 

[Glass Rebel]

If Intelligent Systems doesn't make the next FE protagonist a lance user so he can be included in Smash 5, I will fuck something up.

 

[Durden77]

Considering the Villager, we'll likely get a few combinations of hair/face for each gender, maybe even class outfits. You'll have to compromise with the name, though - I guess it'd kind of work with just the player name?

I really hope so. And if that's the case I hope I can find an alt that looks similar enough to "Toller" that I can get by. I don't know Robin, I know Toller!

I don't think it would be too hard to implement most of the styles in some way. Not including class changes and all, the Robin look customization isn't that complex at all.

Lol okay, you can think what you want. We basically already know there's a Rhythm Heaven character though, and I can't imagine Shulk would have been changed to anyone else like Chrom was.

 

[BGBW]

Can anyone make veteran icon for Robin so I can update the OP

BGBW or Ryce PLS!

Will have to wait till I get home which will be in just over an hour.

 

[tim_pkmn89]

Everyone gets that this pic is a reference to the Wizard of Oz, right? Tin Man and Lion Falcon.

...you mean the reference to Aesop's Fables?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Honest_Woodman

Palutena is asking if we dropped the Silver or Golden Falcon into the lake.

 

[Conrad Link]

Now that Falcon is announced lets get Ganondorf in here post haste.

Modified clones have never bothered me in Smash. Would rather they be in it that way than not at all (have always believed Ganondorf deserved better than a clone though).

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Do you guys think Sal is gonna try to explain himself in an attempt to regain his credibility? Or do you think he's just gonna disapear into the ether?

Edit: Also, you guys realize we have another thread title poll, right? QUOTE TO REVEAL LINK

Hey, I just realized, Lucas is safe for now

How many more times do I have to say this?
Leak 1: Legit (probably).
Leak 2/3: Fake.

I thought by now I've made it abundantly clear where I stand.

Lol okay, you can think what you want. We basically already know there's a Rhythm Heaven character though, and I can't imagine Shulk would have been changed to anyone else like Chrom was.

No we don't know that there's a Rhythm Heaven character. They can have stuff from series that aren't represented in a playable character. We had Electroplankton as a stage in Brawl, as well as several ATs from series that aren't represented with playable characters. I don't see how enemies in SmashRun would be any different.

 

[Kouriozan]

Well, the first leak was real, but there is 2 other ones and I don't want to believe the third because that would mean no Lucas. T_T

 

[Axass]

People seriously expecting anything other than a black pallet for Pit?

Nobody had any hope for Lucina anymore. The Gematsu leak is dead. Your argument is invalid.

At this point Sukapon could be announced next week as a combo fighter with Mach Rider as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Kouichi]

I wouldn't completely write off the Gematsu Leak yet, but this shows that it is not definite.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Now I can start believing in Ridley again

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Tons of doubt on the Gematsu leak now, but I wanna see if the alleged leaker responds to all this.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I guess after tonight I still think we'll see Shulk happening, but due to the confusion over Chrom I'm really starting to think while we'll get a RH-rep (why else the Ghost enemy in Smash Run?), it might not be the Chorus Boys.

Also wondering if Lucas is still likely to get cut if Lucina is a semi-Marth clone? Seems sort of unfair otherwise. Also makes me hope at the very least Dixie could get in as a semi-Diddy clone.

Still, either way I'm really happy with how this trailer went. Lucina's cool fanservice but I really think Robin was the best decision for a new character rep. Finally have a FE rep who uses magic! Plus the motherfuckin Falcon, was total bullshit he was kept hidden from us in Brawl.

 

[georly]

WAITWAITWAIT

At about 2:06-2:07.

Is Ike's Eruption BLUE flames now?! :O

 

[Starphoenix]

ftfy

Pretty much what I'm thinking. To be quite honest, after seeing Robin, I'm not too unhappy if Sakurai decided to swap Chrom out midway through development. Goodness knows this community wasn't on board with his inclusion anyways.

 

[Jintor]

I like that the intro text on Lucina was like "WAKES HER BLADE?!"

like NOA got surprised too, lol

 

[SliceSabre]

I honestly think Sal Romano confused Robin with Shulk, like I didn't know who this Robin guy was when first revealed and I assumed it was Shulk, so he's still right to me

This is some next level denial bro.

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Wolf and Falco better be in this fucking game.

I feel 98% for Falco and 70% for Wolf.

Yeah, because it was all a series of super lucky guesses, none of which had been false up until this point.

What's more likely, that he didn't have legit information, or that plans changed during development?

EDIT: Stance change or new post? Either way you clarified your distinction between Leak 1 and 2. Others are quite a bit more rabid.

 

[SoldnerKei]

I was expecting Shulk, got Lucina, Robin and CAPTAIN MF FALCON

good week start

 

[Kor of Memory]

Lucina is not listed as a newcomer on the site either.

Odd she is listed as a Newcomer here though

Thread X: Sakurai be Robin us of Shulk

Perfect!

Yeah, pretty much. We knew it was from the planning stages since E3 anyway. I didn't know things could change so much, but now we do.

Romano defenders are the new Ridley believers.

Spoiler

Except the Ridley believers are right.

I believe that he's a stage boss

Yeah, because it was all a series of super lucky guesses, none of which had been false up until this point.

What's more likely, that he didn't have legit information, or that plans changed during development?

Seriously, what is everyone's deal with this? How can you guys be this rabidly unreasonable in regards to the leak situation.

Some people just hate leaks on principal. You had people doubting Sentinel was in MvC3 even after Jill and Shuma were revealed as DLC, like a leaked list said.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I like how Robin has to toss the tomes after a certain amount of use, haha.

 

[munchie64]

Do you guys think Sal is gonna try to explain himself in an attempt to regain his credibility? Or do you think he's just gonna disapear into the ether?

Edit: Also, you guys realize we have another thread title poll, right? QUOTE TO REVEAL LINK

Well Sal doesn't really have to explain anything himself lol.

 

[Cody_D165]

Tons of doubt on the Gematsu leak now, but I wanna see if the alleged leaker responds to all this.

I'm sure it will happen at some point. But let's be honest. It's all over for him now. The hype train has resumed its full, maximum speed.

 

[OricWindstar]

Now I can start believing in Ridley again

Oh man, this week is going to be HEATED in Smash GAF.

Spoiler

I want to believe!

 

[I'M FINISHED!]

Ridley burns Lucina alive as a character.

 

[-Horizon-]

Nobody had any hope for Lucina anymore. The Gematsu leak is dead. Your argument is invalid.

Lies! I truly and honestly always had hope she would still make it into Smash in some form.

 

[Forkball]

Wolf and Falco better be in this fucking game.

I feel 98% for Falco and 70% for Wolf.

Falco is the most cutable.

Psridleyconfirmed

 

[Ahnez]

In Sakurai we trust

 

[Juansho]

Now please sakurai, more metroid, DK, and Earthbound

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

My suggestion is missing

Spoiler

Falcon Emblem

 

[Dryk]

The last character trailer is just "I was the leaker all along" flashing on the screen for three minutes

 

[Next]

Thread X: Sakurai be Robin us of Shulk

too good to pass up

 

[Not]

She's a Marth clone/alt

I see no confirmation of this anywhere, people

 

[Axass]

Of course the leak isn't made of random asspulls. Just it isn't as definite and absolute as everybody wanted us to believe. In that sense it's dead.

I still think Shulk and Chorus Kids are in.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

I still think that the rest of Gematsu's leak will come true (Shulk/Chorus Men). Him being wrong about one character doesn't automatically mean that he's a fraud and that none of the info was ever legit. The leak is partially real, I think it's foolish to say otherwise at this point, it's just that his info is not as 100% as we've been taking it.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I figured we would get Captain Falcon, but Robin is a great choice. Much better replacement than Chrom. Now we just need Chorus Kids.

Also, Luc. Was hinted in the Amiibo video...

 

[IAmtheFMan]

I wouldn't completely write off the Gematsu Leak yet, but this shows that it is not definite.

Yep. That's where I am.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

...you mean the reference to Aesop's Fables?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Honest_Woodman

Palutena is asking if we dropped the Silver or Golden Falcon into the lake.

I went and found a comparison pic. I'm telling you it's a reference to the Wizard of Oz:

 

[DaBoss]

Do you guys think Sal is gonna try to explain himself in an attempt to regain his credibility? Or do you think he's just gonna disapear into the ether?

He has no reason to explain himself. The leaker on the other hand...lol.

Personally, I feel the added commentary on the 3rd leak was just the leaker trying to give some info since the leaker has no more. So basically, I'm saying the DLC comment, and Lucas comment may have been made up just for the sake of having something new.

The leaker didn't tell us any character was going to be revealed during directs and Smash related events, so it is really odd the leaker decided to say yesterday we will be seeing Shulk today (after everyone who follows Smash closely would guess Shulk is today).

I feel like the guy has no info outside of everything he/she posted before the Smash Direct.

 

[ReiGun]

All that speculation of how cool it would be for Chrom and Lucina to be paired and now he's just a Final Smash and she's "Roy 2: Aether Boogaloo." lol

 

[Durden77]

He....

He does love us....

 

[Beelzebufo]

I see no confirmation of this anywhere, people

It's in the trailer. She has the same special moves.

 

[SkullHydra]

I believe that he's a stage boss
