OK, its january, game comes out in Japan in about 2 weeks.

Expect those 2 weeks to be filled with off the wall "Information Leaks" real or not.

But you have to agree...

You know you love it :chuckle:

Maybe its just me, but seeing that one leak mention Dixie Kong, even though I know its false, is still fun to consider.

Considering the fact that the boards will become spammed with outlandish claims is rather worrying. :(

I think its silly how people try to reason that an update is fake

"Ness? Knuckles?!"

"FAKEE!!!!"

Silly kids.

I love reading fake information XD It's so interesting and for all you know it might be true. I dont get my hopes up but I always consider it until it's proven fake.

The claims and predictions only add to the mounting excitement for Brawl.
Though many myths have been debunked outright, there are many still floating around that can't be proved or disproved, and I imagine that there are many of us holding some of these in the back of our minds.
It will be very fun to see the shock and uproar across the boards when everything finally becomes clear.

Yeah, they're nonsensical, but it is somewhat fascinating to read the kind of silliness that people will come up with. If anything at all, at least it's an entertaining read. ;)

Too bad wavedashing doesn't exist anymore. :laugh:

I have a love-hate relationship with the leaks. They're fun to consider, but I hate it when people try to become a Prophet with these things. It ends up tarnishing their reputation and just gets annoying after a while. Eventually fact gets mixed with fiction, making it even more annoying.

But it sure is fun to speculate.

I actually find the rumors quite entertaining. I try not to take them too seriously and just think of them all as fake until proven otherwise.

No, Tamagon proves it false 100%.

As he is from the same game as the Devil AT, and the devil AT doesnt have a custom icon
Sakurai could easily change the icon in a future update... he's changed icons before. Like the Yoshi and DK Icons. Your arguement is pointless.

I'm more worried that Ridley is a stage hazard on Tallon IV... he attacked Samus at the Chozo Ruin before the Impact Crater.

Wherever you think I'm not.
The list could have been real.
1: Maybe he accidentally miscounted. He's a friggin' person.
2: Who says Serebii is always right/true? He, too, is a friggin' person.
3: Maybe Sakurai just didn't know what icon to use during the Devil update. That could've been before he added Tamagon.
4: None of these characters have been deconfirmed! "OMG NESS IS DECONFIRMED BY LUCAS UPDATE LOLOL ROFL" is not a valid argument. Nobody knows what Sakurai meant when he spoke about Ness. Heck, no one really understands Sakurai anyway. And you can't read his mind, so you are not the deciding voice of Brawl.
5: No 3rd party or otherwise character statements are impossible. Most are about properties that Nintendo can easily acquire, such as Final Fantasy and Sonic. No one is saying that Master Chief is in Brawl.
6: Just because some of your favorite/most hated characters are in/out, that doesn't mean that it isn't true. Again, you are NOT the deciding voice of Brawl.

I think that about wraps it up. I'll update if I see any more arguments.

Nin10dough, the guy who made that recent "leak"(list) posts this:

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=928518&topic=40559947

This is out of control. never intended for such a fiasco such as this to ensue, I merely intended to leak a few bit of information about Super Smash Brothers: Brawl... I suppose I was foolish to believe the Smash Community could really handle my information, or trust it at all.

You all have your bizarre deconfirmations and sources, and apparently some vague poke'mon fanatic has me out to be a liar.

His word against mine is never 'proof' so do me a favor and stop saying my information is disproven. I never expected anyone to fully trust me, but to set out to prove me wrong... over analyzing me and taking my words of of context... well thats just not right.

I gave you the truth, my lack of gaming knowledge may have made it seem fake I suppose. I only test fighting games so don't expect me to know what a Ridley is.

The point I'm trying to make is... be a little open minded for once, and if you are a skeptic you may doubt, but don't call me an ******* or send me hate emails and spam.
Grow up.

Just forget I ever said anything.
Wow.

Just weird because you didnt even quote or reference.

I wouldn't worry about that if I were you ...

Smash Bros. DOJO!!! said:
Norfair is the location in Metroid where the enemy boss Ridley was.
Sakurai mentioned Ridley in the Norfair update, and if E 4 All means anything he's not a stage hazard there ... so wouldn't it confuse players if the "enemy boss Ridley" who was supposedly found in Norfair turns up in Tallon IV?

See, problem is, there's too many holes in his theory.

The Yoshi/DK icons changed? Show me proof. I've never seen them change. That from Tamagon alone makes this prophet lame. And why would Sakurai use Tallon IV? Prime is scarce as it is.

Wow.
Makes me feel bad for the guy. I can't say that it's definitely fake, but it really seems like it. And maybe it's just that the roster is so awful that I don't want it to be true. :chuckle: Bias aside, though, he seems a little too in-depth, as if he were trying very hard to sound believable. One instance is his very casual reference to Sheik's alleged "Harp of the Sheikah" attack. Sheik has been pretty controversial, so if he really wanted to assert his authenticity, he would have explained how they were related (apparently still through a transformation). Likewise, he made no mention of how Ness plays outside of saying that Ness is supposedly unlockable. Lucas basically usurped his position; don't you think that warrants some explanation?

Just food for thought.

I'll be feeding this fire with real information and all the proof I can muster, pics and vids, as soon as I get a real leaked copy (All the current so called leaks are fake). I'm a modder and I'm grabbing the japanese iso as soon as the iso leaks (though I will buy this game when it hits the USA).

I will be posting a clearly marked spoiler thread with my findings. This should happen within a week, as the retail version for big games like this typically get out into the wild about 2 weeks before official release.

I've got a bit of advice for you skeptics out there. When someone claims to have played a leak, check release list sites to make sure a leak exists first! For example, you can go to http://gbatemp.net/newgon/?dat=wii to list all the wii games that have been leaked and dumped, in order by date. It's pretty quick to update the list, and if Brawl's still not on it by the time you get info, take it with a grain of salt.

Actually, I thought it was just me going crazy or something. A long time ago, I tried making a wallpaper with all the universe icons and added more as more characters were updated. I redid that project alot and eventually noticed that Yoshi's and DK's icon changed. Sadly, I deleted them a while back because didn't think they'd be useful.

I'm almost completely sure that the spots on Yoshi's egg used to be gray and the letters 'DK' were less rounded. But I do know for a fact that Mario's mushroom was updated with spots and the Poke-ball didn't have a filled in top half.

I'm not forcing you to beleive me, I'm just saying.

I salute the last leak guy, just because if he's a fake, then he's certainly the most interesting, I mean to go into all of that detail for a fake would put him in a smash nerd category, and yet so much of what he said made it seem like someone who really was outside of the smash community, and that's the most fun part, that if he's faking he's got some nice psychological moves going on there. The Bowser Jr. thing and number of characters, Tamagon, stuff like that is what in a weird way makes him seem more credible to me, hah, and he acted like he didn't know the end of Twilight Princess or who Geno was, and just gave so much almost random info that I hadn't thought of....so it was fun, true or not....But I tell you all one thing, you would be much better off playing along with these people as long as possible, that way you get more information from them, to help prove them one way or the other, otherwise the same thing always happens, they just end up not posting anymore. It's always a race to prove the person wrong, but whatev, it's fun to read the flames too, so here's to all of the "obviously fake" leaks that will sprout up between now and launch, maybe one of you will be the next OtherSteve!!!

Oh, and kudos to Zinfandel for having floccinaucinihilipilification in their sig!!!

I think this is common sense... I mean come on. Would everyon in Japan get together and say"Hey, I know! Lets keep everything a secret until the US gets it and laugh at them! Theah! That would be sweet! Lets do it!"

What I hate about leaks is people screaming "FAKE" at the top of their lungs, even though they don't have any information to back up their claim. Even moderators on these boards are jumping on the band wagon, it's so sad.

Seriously, if you have any insider info to know for sure that a certain leak is fake, go ahead and lock a thread. But just locking a thread because you THINK it's fake, that's silly.

I totally agree.
