WFT was more a character that "We didn't know we wanted".
IIRC, the rumor never was "All would be shown at E3" - or even it could have been all were planned to show but changed. Welcome to how marketing works.
Marketing? No. This rumor is just them saying "Look, I predicted popular characters and characters from popular games that would no doubt be in my leak is right!"
They never said no Namco characters would be in the game. They said Namco characters would not get any special consideration to be put in the game since Namco was helping with the project.
Source?
A quick Google search provides lots of links, but this one seems sufficient. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06...ters-receive-no-priority-for-super-smash-bros
This is probably the best argument against the Salromano rumoured leak that I've heard.
Were you on IGN years ago?
Did you miss what I was quoting about marketing? Someone else said "they didn't show up at e3; the leak itself is invalid" where I explained that marketing plans always change.
all the characters that was leaked before E3 have been half revealed,How is the reveals wrong?
Quick Q: Are you in marketing? Marketing can and will change. It's a very plausible reality that they decided to spread newcomers out more.
"Marketing" doesn't always change. Also rosalina not being mentioned further debunks this stupid rumor.
Most definitely. Under the same name.Were you on IGN years ago?
He never said that those six were all of the newcomers.
Please read the title of the thread and get back to me on that one.
No it doesn't. "Multiple character combatants" counts Rosalina, and if Sakurai is having developement problems with her, why would there be plans to show her off before knowing that she won't get cut?
Who said sakurai had any trouble with her? I think not. We'll find out who he had trouble with when we get a smash direct
I linked the article, dude.
Before I realize how long it's been since I read this bull**** thread
That was referring to characters such as ice climbers, those who move perfectly in sync, causing double the animation, thus framerate issues and such.
The Author of the article was paraphrasing and using ice climbers as an example. The only quote from sakurai in that statement is "multiple combatant". Luma and Rosalina are both separate combatants and count as multiple combatants.
I knew I remembered that name! Nice to see you again broMost definitely. Under the same name.
again this is not confirmed fake things change
Even though sakurai DECONFIRMED VILLAGER during brawl?
If it was really so obvious that Wii Fit would get a rep, then you'd think at least one other person would have predicted it to happen. Sure, Little Mac and Mega Man's chances were pretty good, so they were easy guesses. And sure, Villager could've also been guessed too. I'll even accept that someone could have guessed Wii Fit Trainer (even though no one did). But all four in one post? The chances are extremely tiny. Sure, it's possible, but the much, much more likely explanation is that Salromano had at least some insider information.
He never fully deconfirmed him. He said villager wasn't much of a fighter and would be hard to make a moveset for if I recall.
wii fit a
I'm sure that no one expected a CHARACTER from Wii Fit though. Like come on, you can't just guess it. That's why this leak seems so legit because his "unlikely" guesses were on point with the names of "Villager" and "Wii Fit Trainer". And look, even if Wii Fit was super successful, it wasn't even represented in Brawl AT ALL (unless there was a sticker, which I don't recall there being…). Now we have a stage, a character, and an alternate costume. Probably some items to come too
You can say that all you like, but it doesn't change the fact that hardly anyone predicted WFT, so it obviously was not obvious.
You can guess it. People on Smashboards claim to have guessed it. If you're able to break out of the Smash community hivemind that we're going to get characters who make sense and who we want, WFT's quite guessable.
haha.
Wii fit trainer and. Villager weren't that hard to guess! You people just focus on characters from giant series. Wii Fit and villager aren't that bad of a guess. I mean ****!
Villager was considered all but deconfirmed even before the game's release, due to Sakurai flat out saying he didn't believe Animal Crossing characters should be violent. So there's one iffy guess already. Then there's Wii Fit Trainer, and people can sugar coat it all they want by saying Wii Fit is a big franchise and all, but Wii Fit Trainer wasn't guessed by anyone else anywhere else, at least I haven't seen any proof of that. The reason Wii Fit Trainer is such an obscure character, and why she didn't cross our minds, is because it's not the actual playable character in Wii Fit, it's just a guide, it'd be like guessing Monita from Nintendo Land. I just don't believe that the one guy who guesses Wii Fit Trainer also happens to guess the very iffy Villager and Mega Man correctly on top of that, and furthermore wants to carry it onwards as a fake leak, especially when he's a well respected NeoGAF member.
I didn't see anyone guess Wii Fit Trainer honestly, but I can't claim that I read all people's predictions either. Unless people can prove they guessed it, then I don't really buy it.
