Proof of Wario via Wayback Machine!! Plus More!!

[JabbatheHutt]

As many of you know, http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/INSERTCHARACTER.html is the URL for whatever character has been announced so far for Smash.

The URL for wario: http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/wario.html will come up as this:
"Not Found
The requested URL /us/characters/wario.html was not found on this server."

But did you know if you put that into the WAYBACK MACHINE you get this:

The URL was created on June 14th, 2013. 10 days after the E3 Launch of the website!

Check it out. Apperently a URL for Geno was Created on June 23rd, 2014 plus tons of others:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/*

Don't know what to make of this but I see a few names I'd be pretty skeptical about...

 

[Xermo]

>Neku Sakuraba
I wish

 

[kazrisk]

Some seem really hopeful and realistic and then others are super sketchy. Interesting though.

Edit: Double checking it, why is there a link for "Donkey," and a separate for "Donkey Kong."

 

[Frostwraith]

Uh... I wouldn't put much stock on a list that has these:

http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/robmccann.html (Who?)
http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/trails.html (See above.)
http://www.smashbros.com:80/us/characters/kirbamus.html (LOL)

 

[Deleted member 245254]

I guess it's worth noting that there is a guy named Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid...

Robmccan might just be referring to ROB.

 

[kazrisk]

Plus Ocelot from Metal Gear... doubt that we'd get that but not Snake. And I highly doubt Snake will return.

Robmccann is obviously referring to this guy... http://img.scoop.co.nz/stories/images/1312/rob_mccann_photo_201.jpg

R.O.B. would be referred to either as "rob" or, most likely, by his Japanese name "robot".

Just saying.

 

[Xermo]

I'm not seeing pac-man or any name that resembles pac.

They might be using code words or jokes to mask certain characters just in case? I don't know. I'm not a damn internetoligist.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Ain't no Game and Watch either.

 

[ndayday]

would really just guess that it saves commonly accessed urls.

Perhaps they wouldn't do that because it's an official site with professional looking file names? Sure, there are developers with a sense of humor, but with all the characters so far having their pages names like them, it does seem a little too random and unlikely that they'd be creative for R.O.B.'s page.

More proof of how meaningless this is.

 

[KokiriKory]

How weird. The MGS references really make this intere--- ISAAC??????????????? ISAAC!!!!!!!????!???!

 

[kazrisk]

No Elijah Wood. Fake.

 

[CF711]

As much as I would love to believe this because Geno, I think this was debunked a while back. I can't remember the reasoning behind it though.

More than enough reasoning in this thread alone.

 

[Pazzo.]

*See Avatar for Reaction*

 

[Beatness]

Not sure how legit this is from the lack of pac-man. It's probably just people who saved the blank pages on Wayback. That really rekindled my pipe dream of having Neku in smash bros though.

 

[JabbatheHutt]

Well wayback machine only has urls of payed domains. smashbros.com had to of payed for that webpage. hmmmmmm

Perhaps they change the URL once it goes live?

 

[RedFly]

I don't think this proves anything.

 

[Deleted member 245254]

It's worth noting that Kirbamus is a made up name I think for a PotD where Kirby had swallowed Samus.

Though this name is present on that list it obviously doesn't present the idea of an actual unique character. That alone should make this an invalid depiction of the roster.

the japenese version

sort by "to" date

ice climbers image updated a month ago.



Anything that's 2013 seem to be just them updating their brawl page after the announcement of the new game

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

This came up in the old Rumours thread. I think the general conclusion was that someone was being a goof. I don't know if Wayback allows pranksters to try archiving pages that don't actually exist, but that's what I assume happened.

That probably explains "Ainsley"

Spoiler

10/10 would main forever

Your sig was kicking perfectly in sync with my music...

Back on topic, this is awesome, but... Unless they're using code names I just don't think it's anything viable. Geno would be awesome though.

Charizard's not there either

 

[Smash_Veteran_Amtoj]

Google Chrome joins the battle confirmed!

 

[Ginger Hail]

When people input a specific URL, Wayback Machine records it even if the page doesn't actually exist.

 

[Smash_Veteran_Amtoj]

Isn't Wario already confirmed with the logo of his franchise showing up in the Smash Bros. Direct?

 

[Kevandre]

Well.. Not necessarily. There's a Pilotwings logo too. Mii's don't use that logo so either the stage has it's own logo or there's a character specifically from Pilotwings playable

Getting a stage from WarioWare/Wario Land but not Wario himself would be the worst.

In all reality there's no way that Wario is cut.

It's only my mains Ivysaur and Lucas who seem to be getting that treatment. After the loss of Roy my heart is already fragile

There may still be a grass-type starter that gets added in. Ness will return and we'll likely get Chrom. Let's mend that fragile heart, fella.

I want Kirbamus so bad.

 

[Kevandre]

Yeah, but it wouldn't play the same. I can guess at Sceptile but that would be a completely different moveset and I don't like the Pokemon itself as much.

I appreciate the words of kindness though!!

I'm sure Lucas still has a shot at returning. People just like to pick on him when it comes to cuts. I think it's actually pretty safe to say we could possibly get no cuts other than Snake in this game.

Ivy and squirtle are most likely gone

snake is in a bad spot because of third parties, but still has a small chance

lucas is cut if gematsu is real, and right now it's looking quite strong.

Oh, I forgot Ivysaur and Squirtle. Those two are definitely gone.

We're going off-topic. Let's get back on track.
