An index of "leaks" and status: forbrawlbattle's "second post" and Brawl360 removed

[Firestorm88]

If the 35 character roster is real, there will be a backlash; but I don't think it will last long, and it will only be among people who have been following Brawl's pre-release religiously.

Well, I'd assume the people who followed the pre-release religiously would have been following SamuraiPanda's translations of the old Japanese dojo (before daily updates) where Sakurai said that they "unintentionally" reached 26 characters last time and that they'd work really hard, but essentially not to expect as huge an increase as last time.

Or maybe people did what they seem to do for everything and just block out anything they don't want to hear.

I personally trust Famitsu's judgment, considering they've only given 6 games other than Smash a 40/40. However, what I don't believe is that Brawl would have only a 10 character increase, and still get a 40/40. I didn't wait 7 years for Melee 2.0 NOW WITH WI-FI, thank you.

What the hell? So you're only buying this game for characters? How come nobody seems to care about the gameplay at all? And Melee 2.0? What did you expect? Mario Kart instead of Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Why do people put in a number to make it seem negative?

But you still could if you wanted to

There's nothing saying the NEOgafers can't lie, I guess Serebii runs a very popular site, so he would have more to lose. But if they (NEOgafers) did lie, or were genuinly mistaken, smarter people wouldn't hold it against them.

Besides, I stand by what I keep saying, the hype wouldn't have been nearly as fun without all these "prophets"

They have just as much to lose as Serebii. Maybe more considering Serebii has been wrong in the past and corrected it without any memorable backlash.

Actually Serebii. As long as one person like Short Fuse gets a hold of the game, they'll probably rip it within hours of getting the game, crack it and tell us the roster.

I look forward to hearing the music from the game because of that (Still have SFs topic open). Even if I'll probably be buying any OSTs or music collection CDs that come out with the Brawl label. XD

A music leak is what I'm really waiting for. I want to know what Sonic music made it in ^_^ And if we're getting Lower Norfair/Magmoor Caverns remix.

I have never been outright wrong. I've made some slight mistranslations but those never changed the information content

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

Personally, I play SSB for the nostalgia. It's fun to play, definitely, but I love seeing that UFO from Chibi-Robo included.

 

[Serph]

ROB 64 is the robot from the StarFox series, and NES ROB is a videogame character (sort of) because he's appeared in various cameos in games, and is playable in Mario Kart DS. Also, he'd be a pretty good WTF character, and would fit in nicely alongside Mr G&W.

I know he's in Mario Kart DS, but he is still a NES accessory first and foremost. Not an out-and-out videogame character. Personally I think he'd make for a horrible "wtf" inclusion. Not in the same league as Mr. Game & Watch at all.

He's one of only two problems I have with the list. The other being no Mewtwo. Of course there are other characters I would've liked to have seen (like Black Shadow), but you can't have it all I suppose.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

ROB was one of the reasons stores stocked the NES.

Alright. I was just going off someone posted a bit earlier. I don't visit Serebii much. I don't need general Pokemon info anymore so I stick to Smogon's forums for my Pokeneeds =/

Lucario appeared in the Anime first, does that make him an Anime character??

what is your opinion on the 35 character roster should it be trusted.

 

[Anomilus]

Actually, I wanted to know Serebii's opinion on the roster as well, but not as related to the 35 roster rumor. I just want to know how he feels about it on a personal level, and not as way to pick for clues.

I guess that's how you see it, I agree he's no Mr G&W, but the idea has grown on me.

My MAIN problem with the list is Mewtwo, it's just an injustice. His non-inclusion makes no sense. Of course, including all the veterans that DESERVE to return (Luigi, Ness, Jiggs, Captain Falcon, Marth, Mr G&W, Mewtwo, Ganondorf) that only leaves room for 4 more assuming there are 35 characters. Other veterans that could possibly return are Falco, and Young Link, meaning only room for 2 newcomers? Personally I wouldn't choose Wolf as one of those... it would be great if the limited newcomers unlockables were from new series' (like Golden Sun, Custom Robo, and WTF character)

ROB was one of the reasons stores stocked the NES.

That was mostly because of the retailers' ignorance not being able to see how 3rd gen consoles differed from older consoles that caused the crash. ROB itself performed really badly, and is really rare because of that.

We'll see in 3 days

 

[Serebii]

No it does not. He was created for the games first. The anime just utilised this as an advertising hype builder

If Robotnik/Eggman is a boss, I want the Sonic 2 boss theme :D

Some mod who can read Japanese at BC posted this about the wii-ds.com Ridley/Jiggly/Falco thing:

"It was just made clear that someone posed as Rodori when making a few of his claims. Someone hacked into his IP address and made those posts. They apologize for this act as it could jeopardize the credibility of Nintendo Times.

Sooo, this information is part of the fake information leaked by someone else and not Rodori himself. This and the Pokemon games...()"

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

Doesn't matter. ROB shouldn't be blamed for those ignorant stores, he's notable for putting Nintendo's foot in the door.

 

[Charzonsos]

I really don't mind R.O.B. The only character I die hardly want is Mii.

 

[sv3]

Does anyone know what/who he's talking about? (that's not the chaoszero leaker guy, of course).

[AdmantNESS]

thealmightygoat made a topic on Gamefaqs claiming he made one of the fake rosters going around now. It was modded.

 

[LeuMasT]

Anyone here have information on Hong Kong's release status?

 

[sv3]

lol, so it doesn't seem to be anything serious since you can just about say anything regarding that.

That's not a bad plan though. Someone could just make a ton of accounts with a ton of fake lists about stuff in the game, and once you get 'lucky' with one of them you just take that account and start making up stuff.

Not sure, but it sounds like he thinks thealmightygoat made a post on GameFAQs where he claimed to have impersonated "two new prophets who have been heavily believed" (implication being Reno and MarkMan, of course). Which is utter bull, of course, given sp0rsk also backed up Reno and claims to know him personally, and neither of them were by any means new members at NeoGAF, which makes it impossible for him to be them. In other words, hes just continuing to spread misinformation, as always.

almighty does not know when to quit lol

 

[The Real Inferno]

I should point out that if any of the remaining leakers said there is a Mii, in the Iwata Asks, Sakurai said they decided early on not to utalize Miis.

Marth confirmed, Ness reconfirmed yay!!!

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Didn't one prophet say something about Ness saving Lucas in SSE? Take a look at the intro video that was just leaked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRBsajRrnY8

To me, it looks like Ness is saving Lucas in that one part he appears in. Does anyone remember which prophet I'm talking about?

 

[sv3]

I don't, but other people do I think. Barber just posted a thread about it: http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=139503

 

[GBcrazy]

ok, marth is now confirmed, remove rapscouter from the list...

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

Falco, Marth, Luigi, and Ness are all seem to be confirmed, which means it has matched up perfectly with the 35-char roster. Not a single error whatsoever.

 

[MajinNecro69]

I'm not editing the leak thread, until we get ALL info from this Brawl leak. After that point, I will edit the thread to show who was correct.

All debunked will be lined up in a little piece of the thread at the bottom of the first post.

 

[Masque]

So...Serebii can post everything he knows now.

 

[The Real Inferno]

Well, technically all this did was confirm their roles in SSE.

 

[Darkfur]

I believe Johhny just got a DING.

Port Town Stage.

 

[The Real Inferno]

oh and A Link to the Snitch where did the Falco and Luigi confirms come from? I'd look around in the topic more but it's taking me ten minutes to load a single page here.

 

[ruffrydr017]

All these new images certainly make me believe that leaker who said Ness and Lucas join together against Pokrey. And Port Town being correctly named? Come on, that has to be true.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

Some screenshots of Falco showed up on 4chan (not terribly legit, but it looks pretty real), and...

Not yet I cant. I still have an embargo on the information I know. Sorry

That picture is of Luigi in the SSE, not Falco.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

Oh my God, you're blowing my freaking mind.

I forgot, the user asked about Falco and only Falco.

Awww, teardrops. No one liked the Embargo Act way back in 1807, and I'm sure no one likes the idea any better now. So even though the information is being leaked currently, you can't say anything yet because it's not directly from Nintendo?

Well I was told not to say the roster until Japanese Release so...

 

[Imperial Master of Nintendo]

Serebii, are you allowed to tell us if the 35 character roster if fake or not?
